CHAPTER TX Continued.)
Nothing came Of the one solitary
CLEAN OF kindness. The next day Hill
rdred did not see the earl at all; he
went over to ST. Cloud with some OF
his friends. The slight CLEAN Of happi-
ness died away, the old feeling OF des-
.OIation came back to her. The Com
eesse de Quesne called and pressed her
TO 60 out, but the girl was sick at
heart. re such strange life--married
without love, without even friendship
or liking married, yet living with her
husband as though she were the merest
stranger his wife, bearing his name,
sharing his fate, yet knowing no more
OF him than did the lowest servant In
chs household; his thoughts, his mind,
his plans, his desires, his interests, his
amEseanents, his pleasures, were all
strange TO her. 1t was an unheard-of
position. an unheard of fate.
Three weeks had passed away, and
Iord Caraven began to wonder now
Miuch longer he was to remain in Paris.
HE he had been free to follow his own
dncainations, they would have led MIN
to the gaming -tables at Baden-B vac en-.
\ But, as he said impatiently, ne had no
\ idea Of going there with a whole train
OF people to look after.
Flow long would she expect TO re-
main in Paris? The honeymoon
most absurd of all institutions-was
supposed TO last month. 1t would be
better perhaps to remainsthere until
&c was over, and then go to Ravens
mere. He would be more comfortabie
eiaere. The house was spacious, anu
&c would be possible for him to move
about without being haunted BY the
giriish, wistful face. So in Paris, IN
ell the honeymoon was over, he de-
-assded on remaining.

Perhaps some such thought occurred
to him as he looked at the sweet face
before him; perhaps that thought made
| him feel a little more kindly toward
Mildred.
| After dinner was over, instead OF lin
gering over his claret, he Joined her
in the drawing-room.

Il have been thinking, too, that yon

do you believe in the Ravensmere
ghosts?" he asked, laughingly.
Il have never heard of them. But in
a large house like this should not care
to feel that I was quite alone"
You shall choose for yourself" he
said, briefly.
Perhaps the hour that followed was
the happiest that Hilddred had known
since her marriage.
He talked to her, and showed her
the various art treasures, the costly
pictures, the statues. the ancient ar
NOR. She was pleased and bright and
interested In all he said. He showed
her the library, where the accumulated
treasures Of SO many scholars lay.
When she had seen and admired all,
he said to her:
IT all these were on the verge Of
destruction, and one woman came for
ward to save 1t, what would you call
her?"
II should call her the good angel Of
the house" she replied, not having the
least idea that he was referring to her.
He bowed to her.
''That shall be my name for you,"
he said. "You shall be the good angel
Of the house"
She had chosen her rooms in the
western wWing rooms that opened on
to a broad beautiful terrace from the
windows of which one saw pleasant
glimpses OF garden and distant land
scape The housekeeper, Mrs. Hamp-
ton, showed her over the whole suite.
Lady Caraven preferred these.
You will be lonely, my lady" she
said; most Of the Ladies Carayen
have preferred the eastern wing
Mildred thought to herself that there
had never been another Lady Caraven
like her. She had been married-so 1t
seemed from the words her husband
had just spoken-for her money; she
was not there because she was be-
loved by the master of the house, but
simply as an appendage of her money.
1t mattered but little what rooms she
chose; she did not at present even feel
SO much at home as did the servants in
the house.

One of Names little friends had a
pair of russell shoes, and she thought
it would be nice for her to have a pair
OF that kind. So when she and her
mother went to the shoe-store, and the
clerk brought out some black ones, she
said: THAT Is not the kind want,
mamma; / want pair of rusty ones.

the handsome, debonair earl.
&c was q chilly evening at the end
aof October when the Earl and Countess
or Caraven reached Ravensmere. No
preparations had been made to receive
and welcome them. There was no gath
ering OF tenantry. The earls tenants
y simply detested the sound OF his name.
They had been so heavily burdened,
So taxed and tormented by the earps
confidential agent, Mr.. Blantyre, that
ehey had no welcome left for his mas
after. They considered him an unjust
landlord, and they did not scruple to
SAY so. There were no glad shouts Of
welcome for him; even the curly head
ed children had heard SO often of the
eari's folly and neglect that they had
mo cheer for him when his carriage
drove through the streets Of Court
Raven. Nor was there any warm well
come from the servants. They were
nrnst Of them new ones; as the old re-
tanners had died of or gone away, the
earl had never retained them. The
house had become dilapidated; the SER
wants were few, the stables empty.
It was all different now-John Blan-
tyre had had carte blanche. The in
j terror of bhe castle had been beauti-
fed, decorated, and refurnished; we'll
trained servants had been brought
from London; the stables had been
filled. There was a general air of pros
perify about the place, so that the earl
hardly knew 1t again.
Did Lord Carayen miss the well
come? Did he see that he was disliked
NV his tenants-tha his servants
szaeuaed TO have NO interest in him?

WILD HOGS.

Chicago nud Kansas City Packers to In
wade the Arizona PIa ms.
For nearly twenty-five years wild
hogs have been found In southern Ari-
zona and their number is increasing
constantly. There is a difference Of
opinion as to the origin OF these ami
mails. One theory is that sc;ss twenty
years ago a man sought to establish a
colony at the head of the gul, OF Cali
fornia and among n of the industries
of the colony a pig raising. The
colony failed, however, and the stock
of pigs was turnel loose. and in the
course OF time they grew and spread
over the river bottom. On the con-
trary, the Indians out there say that
the wild hog has been there as far
back as their traditions reach. These
animals grow very large, feeding on
a root peculiar to the valley of the
Colorado river. AS a rule they go in
droves and the hunting of them is at
tended with much danger, as they are
incredibly swift. with a speed of the
fastest horse. They are very power
full. although they are long. with lean
limb and heavy, muscular joints, re-
sembling the "razon backs of the
south. Representatives Of meat pack
ers in Kansas City and Chicago have
been in southwestern Arizona in the
last two weeks investigating the advis-
ability of establishing there a large
packing house at the head Of the Cult
of Mexico. where wild pork will be pre-
pared for the market. 1t is believed
that the supply will be large enough to

cleaned. they lasted much longer than
they do now. After a few visits to
the professional cleaner. 1t Is no un-
usual thing to have them drop to
pieces" and this is due to the strong
chemicals used and the rough treat
ment they receive. When the curtains
are taken down remove tee hooks or
other ~fastenings. pick out any lacking
threads. and shake them we'll to rid
them OF the dust that has accumulat-
ed. Look closely to find every tiny
break or tear. and darn them before
the curtains are put in the water, for
these breaks always become much
larger II left until after the washing
is done. Pour a quart of boiling water
over four tablespoonfuls of Gold Dust
washing powder. and stir until it Is
dissolved. then pour it into a tub half
full of hot water. Put the curtains in
1t. and stir and work them about for
ten minutes. Then leave them to soak
over night. This loosens the dirt ana
cleanses them without hard rubbing.
which often results in breaking the
threads. In the morning rub them be-
tween the hands. fold them smoothly
and pass them through the wringer.
Put them into a boiler with a suds pre-
pared as before, and let them boil
briskly ten minutes. When they are
taken from this, they should be rinsed

cut. The reservoir containing the
liquid is attached to a coil of tubing
fixed inside a pail or other refrigera-
ting receptacle. leaving sufficient space
around the coils and reservoir for
the storage of ice. In dispensing the
beverage the faucet at the bottom is
opened and the hand grasps the COM
preston bulb at tho top, a contrac-
ton or two increasing the pressure in
the top Of the reservoir sufficiently
to Gauss the already cool liquid to
flow through the circuitous cold tub
ing and emerge from the faucet. This
is a much more convenient operation
than removing the bottle from the
cooler and fitting it every time a drink
is desired. and it is not necessary to
remove the reservoir for refilling, as
the tubing can be detached and the
cork removed to allow access to the
interior.

CHAPTER TX.


There was a farmhouse not far from
Newcastle, whose owner. a kindly
Scotsman. Adair Rothes had known
since he came out TO Natal.
1t was thither he carried Bluebell,
not knowing whether she would live
or die. The farmer, Mr.. Dalziel, learn
ing the facts of the case-he had al
ready heard of the tragedy OF New
Kelso-insisted on sending his "spi-
der at once for Miss Elizabeth, not
withstanding the unsettled state OF the
country.
Bluebell was laid in a pretty white
bed in the little bedroom. which
opened, like many South African bed
rooms, out into the garden; and there
she lay for many hours like one dead,
with hardly a pulse to respond to
Rothes' touch. The tide Of her life
was very low: it could not be much
lower.
When at last It began to rise again,
to his alarm 1t was with a wildly dis
ordered pulse. She was In a high fe-
vey, and raved deliriously and without
cessation.
How much the man watching her

was to learn of all the poor child had
come through!

mot a drop! 0 God, let me die soon.
Don't let me endure this maddening
thirst longer! Hark! that was a lions
roar! Oh, I hope 1t was! Better to
die at once! And they say one doesn't
feel pain. 1t Is like a mouse in a cats
claws! Oh, anything-anything better

throat. It's like a red-hot coa'." Then
she would imagine herself in Moore's

no trouble Is experienced while the
MUSCLE Is at rest. the sufferer being
reminded OF his malady only when he
makes a motion involving the painful
part.
Sometimes the myalgia is more or
less diffused over q certain region, as
the back or the chest: or 1t may be
limited to one special muscle, such as
the deltoid, which covers the shoul-
der-joint.
In children the most common seat
of myalgia seems to be the reck-
"~wry-neck;" in older persons the back
is perhaps the most commonly affect
ed-"lumbago."
An acute stiff neck or lumbago or
other form of myalgia lasts usually for
two or three days or a week, but the
chronic form may continue indefinite
ly, the constant dull pain being inter-
rupted from time to time by acute suff-
ering.
Although myalgia Is often called
muscular rheumatism, it has no symp-
toms OF rheumatism except the pain.
In the causation, however, there seems

treatment. Electricity is sometimes
of great benefit.
If the general health permits. the
sufferer from chronic myalgia should
be much in the open air, especially in
the sunlight. TONES are usually call

Severe Sealed Instructions.

There is a certain lawyer who in his
youthful days liked to play hockey
occasionally. Once being required to
bring a written excuse he applied to a
classmate to help him out. So his
friend wrote: Dear Mrs. c.: Please
give Sam a whipping. and oblige his
mother" and sealed 1t. Sam handed
it in, perfectly satisfied; but imagine
his CONSERVATION when the teacher
proceeded to carry out instruction. All
opportunities were of no avail. Sam
caught a whipping and learned not to
play hockey again.
