HOW HOPE DIED OUT.

! AACN AISI II IJIElJ w l.
| Men who are wise enough to have
! discovered that they are not perfect
and who have learned to distrust their
f1rst impulse, are often perplexed when
dlsagreeable circumstances arise. They
seem to hear two voices within them
selves calling loudly for them to act
in opposite and contradictory direc-
tlons; and they know by experience
| that they cannot obey both voices at
| once, and they are afraid lest they
should do what is not only unwise. but
| what Will render a better plan forever
| impossible.
Terrlble thoughts passed through the
mind Of Coverwood Guestwick when he
discovered that his wife was missing,
! and that Elton FoSsbrook was missing
also, but he controlled himself sufff-
Gently to betray nothing by word or
look which would rankle in his mem
| ory after the mystery was explained
as he hoped would be the case.
1t was almost midnight when the
| Squire returned from Eastford Mrs
Gues.Wiok and Mr.. Fossbrook, he
learnt, had gone out for a walk at
about o'clock. Then Jim Travis had
come to the Hall, saying that his mas
ter had met messenger from Eastford
which was the nearest telegraph sta
| ton; the messenger had a telegram for
him, Which compelled him to start for
! London at once
| L was just coming from Lundley at
| the time, said Jim "and he told me
| ne would ride with the messenger, as
there was no time to lose, for he must
| eaten the fast train at Eastford, and I
am TO follow with his things tonight
| Mrs. GuestWick has gone to Newton
| Lodge, and Woods is to take the car
| rage tor her. ] will take the dog cart
! 20 Eastfcrd and leave it at the Dog
| and Partridge"
All was hurry and confusion. Jim
packed his masters things and put
| them in the dog cart. The butler want
ed TO send somebody with Jim to bring
the trap back, but there was not room
for Alice Rayner said she had to go
| as far as -Four Lane Ends, which was
on the way to Eastford, and she could
not walk the distance, because she had
to take parcel which her mistress was
sending to Miss Percival.
| 1t will be all right" said Jim; "the
horse will be well looked after at the
Dog and Partridge, and I must be off
So, before any further objections could
| be raised, he cracked his whip and
| started
| Woods, the coachman, had taken the
| carriage to Newton Lodge, according
| to instructions, but had learnt there
| that Mrs. Guestwick had not called
That was not the only puZzling cir
cumstance, for the Squire always rode
from Eastford when he happened to
| be alone, and, as usual. his horse was
stabbed at the Dog and Partridge. When
| he started from Eastford some hours
later than Jim Travis ought to have
| reached the town, nothing was said
about the dog cart being there. The
Squire knew there was only one expla-
nation of that: Jim had not done what
| he said was his intention; either he had
not gone to Eastford, or he had taken
the horse and trap to another house.

For variety in late summer table
decoration the somewhat unusual one
of seraniums is suggested. As a rule
these flowers are considered to have too
strong a perfume to be acceptable on
the table, effective as is their beauty
of coloring. The rich pink variety is
peculiarly decorative, and in silver or
crystal bowls arranged with its own
leaves is very pleasing. A drop of
liquid glue brushed on each leaf will
preserve them fresh looking for a num-

BUILDING UP THE LAND FOR
COTTON.

A valued correspondent in one Of
the best counties in an agricultural
way in South Carolina asks some Ques
tions in regard to the manuring of the
cotton crop. He says that they have
gotten into the practice in his section,
of using 700 pounds broadcast Of g
mixture of 500 pounds of cotton seed
meal, 1880 pounds of acid phosphate
and $50 pounds kainit to make a ton.
While this is heavy fertilizing so far as
mere quantity goes, it is defective we
think in the proportions Of the ingredi
ents used. II the potash was in the
form OF the muriate it would be better
far, as in that case each acre would
get nearly so pounds Of actual potash,
while with the kainit there would be
only about one fourth that much.
quantity which is not sufficient for the
amount of phosphoric acid applied.
Then, too, we doubt the profit in such
heavy application directly to the cot
ton crop. It would be far more profit
able to use half of the mixture OF acid
phosphate and kainit on the pea crop
preceding the cotton crop, and to vary
