CHAPTER III.

Lawrence found himself unable to de-
termine whether or not he had been OBJ
served and recognized by the lady in
question until later in the afternoon, when
his doubts were resolved for him by a
member Of the party whom he had en-
countered in the church. This was a
good-natured, gray-haired officer in the
Indian army, who entered into conversa-
ton with Lawrence ON deck, and re-
marked that he believed that he, Major
Haye, had to thank his new acquaintance
for some very kind help rendered to
lady now travelling in company with him
and his wife.
"She told me the circumstances" said
the Major, when she saw you on board
this afternoon; and am sure that we
are, very much obliged to you for the
trouble you took"
Lawrence made polite disclaimer, and
then they fell to walking up and down
the deck, and Lawrence had an oppor-
tunity of bestowing further attention up
on the lady whose acquaintance he wish
ed to make. She was leaning back in her
long Indian chair, enveloped in the folds
of the soft Shetland shawl; her eyes were
fixed upon the distant seas, and she
neither moved NOR spoke. In another
chair Of the same kind sat "the woman
with the eyeglass," as Lawrence had
mentally dubbed her that morning; lady
who, as he afterward ascertained, was
Major Hayes wife.
eve shall have wind soon," said Major
Have, as they turned their faces to the
west.
The dinner bell rang. Mrs. Haye rose
from her seat and spoke to her compan-
ion. Lawrence involuntarily strained his
ears to listen.
"Will you come down, Anne? or are you
too tiredT'
81 would rather stay here, thank you,
Mrs. Haye."
every weli," Mrs. Haye made answer,
rather indifferently, as Lawrence
thought ''I'll tell the stewardess to send
you something to eat. Don't catch cold,
that's ALL
She swept.away, and the gentlemen fol-
lowed. Lawrence was leaning over the
rails and let them pass him. He thought
that they were all exceedingly inattentive
to the comfort of their fellow-passengers.
Should he offer to do anything for her?
But what right had he to interfere? He
moved up the deck toward her chair.
Her eyes were closed; she did not see
him. He was obliged to speak. II beg
your pardon for disturbing you, but can
/ do anything for you tonight" She
opened her eyes quickly. and raised her
head. Even in the twilight he could see
that she changed color. But she smiled
little as she answered:
"Thank you, nothing. My friends maid
will bring me all that want"
81 hope you are better now?"

Rabbits and Trees.

The simplest and cheapest protection
is coating bark with some substance
offensive to these animals. Among
manure with water, with enough wa
ter slaked lime to render the mixture
of dull, white appearance, or rather
of a greenish-gray. Rabbits do not like
this kind Of condiment with their food.
A stronger mixture Is made by mix
ing gas tar, but for young trees with
tender bark, it should be cautiously or
sparingly used, or it may injure them.
The mixture is applied with any old
broom or coarse brush. A moderate
portion Of asafoetida in the mixture is
said to give it additional efficiency as

Dried Lima Beans.

Perhaps you don't know that the
dried Lima beans when well cooked
are very nice, and most acceptable
vegetable for winter use. There Is
quite a difference in them, however,
and one sometimes finds those that
have been dried when too ripe and do
not cook well. Therefore buy in small
quantity, best. and If satisfactory buy
more. To cook, wash them, and put
on the back of the stove in cold water;
when they have swollen full, add boil
ing water to finish cooking. When
done, season with pepper, salt and
butter, and a half cup Of sweet cream
Is an improvement.

circumstances and exceptions, It Is
often of little value because it cannot
be applied. Under such circumstances
a good application Of common sense
will prove Of more value to the farm
than an application of the best barn
yard manure, or of the more expensive
use Of the best fertilizers in the mar
ket. A constant application Of good
common sense by the farmer himself
will almost certainly keep any farm in
good running order.-Farm News.

measures for their suppression must be
directed toward freeing the fowls from
them and killing all that are harbored
in the building or preventing their at
tacks ON the fowl. The attacks on the
poultry are made more particularly at
night, although some mites may be
found on the fowls at almost any time.
To get rid of them spray the inside of
the chicken house with kerosene or
kerosene emulsion, taking special pains
to remove all mites from the cracks Or
rough spots on the roosts and them to
daub the ends of the roosts with soft
tar so that the mites in attempting to
reach the fowls must perish in the tar.

consult him, be it in relation to love,

thing of the kind and cannot for any

The doctor challenges any medium

or outlining the future and asks that
you give him a trial. which he is sure
will convince you. He is no fraud

There are some persons who believe
that there is no truth to be gained
from consulting a medium, but such
beliefs are contrary to the truth 1t is
only from the lack of discrimination
nat such conclusion can be reached.
1t is not everyone who placards himself
or herself as medium that can stand
a test of what he or she claims. And
a person of an inquiring mind may
ask the reason why. 1t is simply that
these advisors do not take the trouble
to study human nature. They do not
spend their thoughts for a moment
with acquiring the art of phrenoIogy
and kindred branches that willNkave a
tendency to make the pathway to the
road of the business clear and aso65

A NEW PROCEDURE.

Special Wire to Sunday Light.
New Orleans, April 17.-District At
torney MARI has applied for writ of
habeas corpus to compel the lessees of
the Louisiana State penitentiary to
produce in open court the person OF
Paul Recknagle, a convict whose testi-
mony is material to the state in the
case of State VS.. John Fortier, charged
with entering and grand larceny.
This is the first time that the writ of
habeas corpus has been resorted to in
such a case. Some time ago l.. o..
Desforges was held in the parish pris-
on as a witness in the Gourdain case
instead of being sent to the penitenti-
airy because the attorney general had
given it as his opinion that the peni-
tertiary authorities could not be COM
PEELED to send a convict to New Orleans
to testify.
