almost like church to me-
why like church," he asked, with
some amusement.
Because one of the best sermons I
have ever heard has been preached to
me here" she replied. II have learn-
ca lesson here. I shall never see
these high ivied walls or touch a Grim
son carnation without thinking of
you, Raoul, and all that you have
said"
Then he watched her as she went
from one bed of mignonette to anoth-
er, looking eagerly for the choicest
sprays, holding them up to him with
wistful, eager face and sweet, pathet-
ic eyes.
will this do, and this?" she asked
as simply as child. "Oh, Raoul, hope
he will not be angry-I hope
he will be pleased! I shall tell you
how I get on. I am nervous about
it."
In another minute the beautiful face
had disappeared, and Sir Raoul was left
in the pleasaunce alone.
"A man might lay down his life for
such q woman as that" he said, with
what was almost sigh. q.
Lord" Caraven stood in the billiard
room at Ravensmere; he had been
playing with one of his friends, who,
having received telegram, had gone
to answer it. He stood alone, leaning
carelessly against the open veranda,
something more than his usual indif-
ference darkening his face; he never
liked interruption during game.
"A most unpropitious moment"
thought the young countess, as she
caught sight of him; but, having Civ
en- her word to Sir Raoul, she would
have marched up to the mouth Of
loaded cannon rather than have brok-
en- it, 49,.
Looking up, the earl could not but
confess that he had seldom seen
lovelier picture than his young wife at
that moment presented, with a flush
on her face, and her hands filled with
sprays of fragrant mignonette.
She would not reveal her hesitation,
but went straight to him, smiling SO
that he little guessed how her heart
beat. He raised his eyebrows as she
drew nearer to him. What was going
to happen? Before he had time to
speak his face was buried in a soft.
dewy mass of fragrant mignonette.
There" said laughing voice. You
said this morning that this was your
favorite flower. 1 have been looking
for the most fragrant sprays of it that

was the direct parent stock Of the do

upon the facts that this variety shows
more tendency toward the variation
m the color Of the plumage which
'c,nlaractertzes the domestic fowl, as its
wing coverts and tail feathers contain
some white. Another argument in
favor OF this theory is that the species
or variety existing in the vicinity of
tne comparatively civilized Mexicans
would probably have been brought
INTO o. domestication long before that
whose habitat was among the rowing
Indians to the northward., That the
turkey had been domesticated by the
Mex1cans Is shown by the fact that it
was introduced into Europe from Mex
leo or the West Indies by the Span
