CHAPTER XX.

Tho disappearance of the lovely NAL
incourt from the Row Oh Monday morn
ing was the subject of much comment,
and when she was neither to be seen
walking nor driving that afternoon the
tongue Of scandal gave full cry, and
things that had been merely whispered
about her up to now were openly dis
cussed by those whom she had scorred
to propitiate.
She had come, she had gone,' like q
delicious breath Of spring freshness
athwart dusty, broiling day, and her
youth would no longer shame the other
women or her brightness make them
appear dull and stupid when beside her,
and now that she had vanished-well,
les absens ont toujours tort, and SO had
she.
Neither Ronny nor Yelverton, her
two faithful henchmen, was anywhere
about to hear, and long before evening
1t was known to all their set, save Lady
Appuldurcombe and Cynthia, that Kill
murray and Eastwood had quarreled
about Lesley, and that at some secret
time and place abroad the insult to her
would be wiped out in one or tie other s
blood, possibly both.
Cynthia did not know it for the SIM
pie reason that her mother was very i'll
with one Of those heart attacks to which
she was subject, and that by their very
frequency failed to alarm those about
her.
So the girl had ample time to think
over Ter interview with Lesley as she
sat in the darkened room and heard the
roll Of life go past, time in which to
realize what a shamelessly selfish part
she had played yesterday, and what a
noble one Lesley, for now that through
deep humiliation she had passed to her
hearts desire it tasted bitter between
her lips, and something told her that it
was all in vain.
Had she not loved Ronny because in
him was no shadow Of turning. because
above a mob Of insincere and shifting
manhood he had lowered head and
shoulders at once steadfast and true:
And why should he turn now:

forget to take it. The Liver gets sluggish
during the Winter, just like all nature,
and the system becomes choked up BY
the accumulated waste, which brings on

will only be when the Liver is kept active.
Try a Liver Remedy once and note the

Storing Winter Vegetables.

TRENCHING CELERY AND CABBAGEs.
 I have tried most of the methods given in the books, beside experiment. ing with my own, and will try to describe those which have proved the best both for family use and the market garden.
 One of the most valuable vegetables which the market garden has. to store for tue winter market, is celery. Celery in small quantities may be stored for use during the early winter by placing it without blanching in tight boxes or 12 inches deep. Several holes should be bored in the side of the box or inches from the bottom to pour water through. The rule to be observed in keeping celery is to keep the roots little moist and the stalks and leaves dry; so do not pour water on the top of celery when watering it in the cellar. Put about two inches of earth in the bottom of the box; then lift the celery with 8 fork and set it rather loosely in the box, as packing it close will cause it to heat and rot sooner. If you have two boxes, put one in dark place in tue cellar, or cover it with a cloth, and give it plenty of water, and you will have celery ready for use in two or three weeks. If you wish to keep the other box until later in the winter, keep it in a lighter place and give it less water; for the longer you can keep it green, the longer it will keep without rotting.
 If you have 8 moist celler bottom, you can keep celery with less work by setting it on the cellar bottom in rows or 10 inches wide, with boards between. Ii the cellar is sufficiently moist, it will re- auire no watering. In order to blanch celery, you must cause it to grow in the dark, and it grows by forming new roots, which it can only do when moisture is supplied. In keeping celery for family use, I shouldlprefer to put 8 portion of ii in the cellar as above described, and the remainder in trenches, according to the process I win describe later, as it will keep until late in the spring and be of q better quality.
 My plan of storing celery in large quan- titles for market it as follows: The part of # that ls wanted before Christmas for the holiday trade, place in the cellar, first scattering an inch or two Of earth on the bottom and wetting t before put ting in the celery then carry in the unblanched celery and, commencing or one tide Of the cellar, set row across | about foot wide then place 2 board
The Newtown bee., 1896-11-06

ground freezes cover them about eight inches deep. They will stand quite hard freezing, if allowed to thaw out in the earth. Attention should be given to yen- tilation, just as with celery. The quality of cabbage is improved by bufying, and if the heads are little loose, sthey will grow in the ground and make good heads. I have had them grow so as to crack open. have buried many thousand cab bagas in this way, with very small loss, and find it is the most profitable way to dispose of my late cabbage, in the spring when they are scarce.
 CaulifloWers may be kept some time in light cellar if the TOOLS are planted in moist soil and some that are not fully headed will mature if kept in this way.
 If onions are to be kept through the winter, they should be placed oD slated shelves, with the bottom shelf slated so as to admit of circulation of air at the bottom. They should be kept cool and dry, and above zero temperature.
 The methods of wintering most other vegetables are too well kno Rn to need description.-TW ", H. Jenkins in Country Gentleman.
