CHAPTER X .

At $50 on the following morning
Lord Marlborough walked up the steps
of the Langham hotel and inquired for
MI. Hovesdean. He had walked from
ST. James III the teeth of a clustering
wind, and the brisk exercise had given
color 60 his cheeks and elasticity to his
frame. He had passed curious night
"a night of mingled hope and wonder
and doubt, but toward morning he had
come to a certain decision and had
turned over a chapter of his life with a
great sigh Of relief. What had been
possible while Sadie was far away was
a thing out of the question now. A
certain mental intoxication which had
been upon him ever since his night
with Massinger was rapidly passing
away. He shrunk from the memories
of that night as from the remembrance
of some hideous sin. The letters he
had destroyed and the revolver he had
emptied of it's cartridges and put
away. Then with a mind blank of all
purpose, but with a curious buoyancy
of spirits which he found it hard to ex-
plain. he had taken his usual morning
bath and dressed with even more than
usual care On his way he had gone
up to Covent Garden and bought huge
bunch of Neapolitan violets for Sadie,
and he sent them up TO her room with
a little note which he had scrubbed IN
the writing-room What the day was
going to bring forth, what his future
action must be, both as regards Sadie
and himself, depended altogether upon
her father. He had not the appear
ance or bearing of a man altogether
ruined. At any rate, he would prob
ably be able to refund enough OF the
900 for him to pay his debt to Tulch
and his bets, and as for the rest-Well
it did not seem nearly so terrible now
even if the worst had to be faced. He
was young and strong. If the girl h
loved were poor was it not his place tC
work for her? There were plenty OF
ways in which he could find occupa-
ton. If she was willing to share what
he could win for her there would ever
be a certain sweetness in the labor
which his hands should find to do,
Just then he forgot that he was no
bleman. An instinct common to al
mankind brought him into vivid an(
direct touch with all that is in virilt
humanity. He was a man; and sh'
was the girl he loved! To win her am
keep her with the fruit of his owi
hands would be a just and a swee
thing.
Of the darker shadow of myster,
which had dropped it's cloak over hin
and her and her father he had search
thought at all. 1t was too utterly in
explicable, toe bewildering for him t
enter upon any definite line of though
with regard to it. That he was con
cerned in it was shown by the fact tia
his letter had been intercepted and hi
name made use of. The motive of tn
| thing and its origin he had not eve
: attempted to solve.
At 9 o'clock precisely Mr.. Hoves
5 dean walked into the room. He wa
: precisely and carefully dressed and az
+. peared in excellent spirits.

A STARTLING DISCOVERY.

He stood looking up and down the
boulevard and occasionally checking
off something on a sheet of paper.

and though | never imagined that yot
or any one else were really imprisoned
here, | came down this afternoon t
make inquiries. The men downstair
excited my suspicious, so l got SOM
policemen and we found you.
Mr. Hovesdean was drawing on III!
oyercoat.
We've had explanations enough fol
the present" he remarked I'm sick
for breath of fresh air, sergeant, he
added, drawing a leather case from his
pocket. DO me the honor to accept
this ESQ note for yourself and this
smaller one for your men. We are go
ing straight to the Langham hotel, Port
land place, and you will find us right
there when you want US. Now, Sadie
are you ready? One moment"
He stepped back and emptied the
contents of the cigar box into his
pocket.
These are very nearly the finest
cigars | ever smoked" he remarked,
coolly. Seems a sort of waste to
leave them behind. And, sergeant,
you'll find a bottle or two of excellent
champagne, Roderes ct Fills, in that
case. Good-evening. Lord Harbor-
ough, YOU will take care Of Sadie down
these villainous. stairs, | presume?
Come along"
They got out of the house and two
stalwart policemen cleared a way for
them through the little throng of cur
ious people who had gathered round
the house. Lord Marlborough hastily
asked the way to the nearest cabstand.
First turn to the right and second
to the left" one of the policemen an
swered IF you'll follow me you'll De
all right, sir
They hurried along, followed at a
little distance, Notwithstanding the eff
forts of the constable, by heterogen-
eous crowd. Just before they got there
Lord Marlborough felt Sadie's hand
grow heavy upon his arm.
He looked anXiously into her face
1t had grown suddenly pale and her
lips were tWitching.
Il never tainted, Reggie, but | think
I'm going to" she faltered.
He passed his arm quickly around
her and the policeman hurrying on
brought them a cab from the stand,
which was now in sight. She had just
enough to step in and she then
fell back into Mr.. Hovesdean's arms.
"Langham hotel, Portland place.
Lord Marlborough called out. Good
orb an6 thanks
Tell the man to drive fast.
There was a CLEAN of gold in the
mans palm and they were off.
Il shall be better directly Sadie
faltered. please don't any one talk
to me-"
She leaned back and the two men
said never word. When they reached
the hotel she was better and able to
step out unaSSiSted.
In the hall Mr.. Hovesdean turned
round and held out his hand to Lord
We've a lot to say to each other,
know" he said, but not tonight.
Sadie and | are going right upstairs.
You must remember that we haven't
seen the inside of a bedroom for more
than week! Wen breakfast together
here at 9 O'Clock"
Lord Marlborough walked with them
to the lift and waved his hand in an
swer to Sadies farewell smile as they
to ascend. Then he walked
out into the night conscious Of cur
ious, incessant buzzing in his head. I.
Even now he was not quite sure
whether he was awake or in the midst
of a curious dream.

can SO easily be grown as a catch crol

+ Shallow Cultivation for Corn.
Nearly all authorities now agree
that only shallow cultivation should bt
given corn, and that this should bt
done so as to leave the surface nearly
or quite level This is the best way t
save the moisture in the soil for the
dry time that is pretty sure to come
when corn is earring. We never knew
corn cultivated shallow and the surface
kept level to fail Of yielding a good
crop, but we have seen many pieces
half ruined by running deep furroH
between the rows just as the corn was
coming into tasel. This exposes q
large surface to the air to be dried out
and if any rain falls it is sure to run
in the furrow and do the least possible
good.-American Cultivator.
Care of the Colts Feet.
When farmers raise colts they usu-
ally work the mares more or less dur
ing the following summer, and for
convenience they generally shut the
colts in stables. These have usually
board or cement floors, and tie hart,
unyielding surface is often very inJu-
rious to the fest of the colt. 1t does
not hurt the feet of old horses so
much. because they are usually shod,
but the colts feet are unprotected. A
run in pasture is always best. II
closer confinement is nee essary, some
small enclosure with an earth floor
not compacted should be provided.
This precaution will add much to the
value of the colt when it comes to
working age.
Weeds in the Hill.
Even when narrowing corn over the
surface is done there VII be occasional
weeds that will escape, and by two or
three repetitions of the narrowing they
will be we'll rooted. Some of these will
be in the hill, where the cultivator run
the rows both ways cannot
reach them. In orr Cu;nion it pays to
stop the cultivator wherever such
weeds are Geen and pull them out. 1t
is true the corn may grow nearly as
we'll, but the weed in the hill will ex-
tend it's roots 10 the middle OF the row,
and all the plant food it gets will be
wasted. Hand Labor with corn has
gone out of fashion, but it pays to do
some hand labor afte" the cultivator
has done all it can.
From Calf to Cow.
Quite as many calves are spoiled for
dairy purposes by oveifeeding as by
being fed too little; for if the calf is
left too f1eshy 1t acquires tendency to
continue so. 1t should be fed on new
milk alone for two Or three weeks,
when skinned milk sh ,uld be warmed
to about 90 degrees and should always
be fed from a clean pail. Winter
calves should be kept warm and dry
and should be given a little fine hay as
soon as they will take il, Or at about
four weeks of ego. They may have
ground oats or wheat in limited guam
titles, always to be fed dry. Calves
should be weaned from milk soon after
they are four weeks cid No grain
should be fed after the he.fers are well
started, unless their rasturage or hay
supply is of inferior quality, when it
may be supplemented with tran or oat-

MARysvALE AND GOLD HILL.
Budget of Mining News From the
RichfieId Advocate.

The miners and citizens in and about
Narysvale have subscribed about ST.
600 towards the building of a good road
up Cottonwood canyon to the Chrystal
and other mines. Tom Ferguson, of
the Chrystal, heads the movement.
Latest adyices from the Darger
claims on Deer creek show affairs there
in a prosperous state. A number of
men are kept constantly at work on a
large body of ore that carries from s.
to 81 in gold with a considerable
sprinkling here and there, of silver. A
gentleman who is conversant with the
rock OF both camps tells the Advocate
that the Darger ground greatly resem-
bles the famous dirt of Cripple Creek s
mines.
The Wandering Boy is a promising
prospect recently discovered at the
head of Deer creeks south fork on Mt.
Badly. Messrs. Osborne and Staley
have control of the property and are
driving a tunnel into the mountain to-
wards the Saddle Rock where they
expect to cut the lead. A good quality
of quartz is being exposed but its ex-
act value is known only to the very
conservative operators The amount
of work being done by the two gentle
men. however, is a sufficient proof that
in their estimation the Wandering Boy
will prove a good producer.
