CHAPTER NNNJT.

II was the beginning of August when
Alma, who. with the recovery of her
health and spirits, began to feel her nat
ural feminine Coquetry awakening decid-
ed that the first ice OF the dec0rous es-
arrangement might now be broken. One
scorchng afternoon. when Armathwaite
returned home, tired and dusty from his
days work, he was informed by the ser
want that Il little girl was waiting 10 see
him in the surgery, and that Mrs. Cros-
mont was with her Franks heart Ieaped
up. He seized Il clothes brush and began
to brush himself violently. as much to
gain time TO conquer this horrible chOk-
ing nervousness as because he was roluc-
tant to enter her presence with the W prk-
aday dust Of the roads upon him When
he entered the surgery he was particu-
larly calm and Sedate, with rising Young
medical practitioner with n character to
keep up writ large all over him.
Alma was sweet and grave and tran
quill. hut had brighter color in her cheeks
than Franz had ever before seen there.
and in the fro of her dress she wore n
white rose. which the Young man chose
fatuousiy to think was very good sign
She had brought one of the village chill
dren to have a Scalded arm dressed. and

took Zip all their attention until the opera

first part of the interview passed off
without any feeling of awkwardness on
either side. As soon. however. rs the
girl found her arm bandaged and releaS-

by the shock she had sustained, of the
vice which had been her ruin, helped her
10 bear her affliction with the resignation
of lame dog, who, forgetting quickly
the sensa tons of the old days when he
secured the fields after rabbits, and leap
ed up joyously as high his masters
shoulders, takes quietly to the peaceful
joys of the warm hearth and the sunny,
doorstep, and dozes the remainder of his
life away in comfortable content
The person on whom the shock of Ned
Crosm ont's death fell the heaviest was
Uncle Hugh. When the tidings reached
him, together with an account of Lady
kildonan's "a ther mysterious Illness, he
came back to Branksome in the greatest
anxiety and remorse, believing that Il let
ter he had written to Lord Kildonan had
been The cause of both misfortunes. The
old Scotchman. who received him very
kindly, assured him that his suspicious
had been reused long before the letter
reached him, and advised him to turn his
attention to comforting the young widow.
But there were difficulties In the way of
This. He would have taken her back with
him to her friends in London. away from
the scenes of her short but unhappy mar
ried life; but Alma, once SO anxious to 60
away, now raised unexpected obstacles
to this course. Ii would make public the
fact that her marriage was a failure. she
said. Besides, she must wait until his
affairs were settled. and she preferred Sc
clusion for n little while before facing
the curious inquiries of her old friends
SO Uncle Hugh, disappointed in his wish
to carry off his little one" and resolved
not to have his journey for nothing, OBJ
tanned promise from Mile that she
would marry him within two months, on
condition that the wedding should be
very quiet one.
This promise. nj the end of the appoint
ed time. she faithfully carried ont; and
Mrs reele. who had never held up her
head with her old majesty since Lord
Kildonan put her TO the humiliation of
having 10 give up the stolen papers. soon
after made up her mind to leave Drank
some for London, in order to be near her
daughter
Armathwa;te was thus left alone in the
little house: but though he missed Mile
of whose sisterly companonship he had
grown very fond. he was not dull. for he
had taken it into his head to refurnish
and decorate the place according to GER
tain ideas of his own. and this occupa-
ton, TO a man of limited income and fas-
tidiOus taste, afforded amusement and in
terest for some time. The purchase Of
n horse too besides the late doctors cob,
was an extravaganza which required de-
, liberation; but there was an animal in
the ncighhorhood which Frank was bent
on possessing, and after few weeks the
coveted beasts held a place in his stable.

Wisdom for the Kitchen.

Some bits of wisdom CLEANED from a
cooking school examination are: That
croquettes will break open if the fat is
not hot enough. if too many are in at
one time. if they are not thoroughly
coated with egg, and if they are too
large. That the proper proportions of
ice and salt to freeze cream or ice are:
One part salt to three parts ice; too
much salt makes icecrcam coarse
grained and soft. That the correct way
70 boil eggs is to place them in cold wa
ter and bring it slowly to the boil. That
to tell when custard is cooked and
baked one must insert Il spoon; the
cooked custard will not coat the spoon;
IL baked custard Will not cling to spoon
passed through i. a test for frying Is
to put a piece of bread in the lard, and
if it browns while forty can be counted,
twenty for each side. the lard is hot
enough for cooked foods, like croqucttes
and the like: it Will take the counting of
sixty. thirty to each side, for uucookcd
foods. \ spoon to serve peas with has

In the meantime Lady kildonan was
lying utterly unconscious both Of the
death Of her accomplish and victim and
of her condemnation. pronounced by her
own lips hundred times in the tolrium

these long days and nights was scarcely
ever absent from her bedside used to sit
liSte ling 10 her and watching her with n
grave. intent face, wEicl expressed no
sentiment harsher than the deepest pity
When the crisis of the fever was past.
and the sick woman's bodily health be-
gan slowly to mend. it dawned upon both
her husband and the young doctor, who
had never exchanged word since the
night Of the = ccident except upon the med
zeal aspect of the case, that her mental
recovery was not proportionatcly rapid.
She would lie for hours together awake
and quite STILL with he eyes fixed upon
her husband in n sort of vague surprise
at his presence, with which mingled no
shame, no annoyance, no deep interest.
Yet she knew who he was. and replied 10
his questions in n voice which grew
stronger every day. but which acquired
no deeper meaning as the time went on

and come to an arrangement
