CHAPTER v.
HoLDENHURsf HALL.

As soon MS I reached the corridor
which led from my ROOM to the stair
case I perceived my aunt waiting for
me on .one Of the spacious landings
which mark each fight-really a room
and partly furnished as such. being set
out with settees and the walls adorned
with paintings, armor and ancient
weapons.
She was dressed for walking and
wore tightly fitting dress. which did
not reach the ground by two or three
inches, and large Gainsborough hat

window, her small gloved hand grasp

She was regarding the green mead.

with willows, and dotted here and

unconscious Of being observed. In

she was about thirty. but 1t now
seemed impossible that she could be
SO old.
My aunt was too observant Of the
peaceful English scene before her to
notice my approach. and had to call
her attention to my presence by wish
Ing her good morning.

after We had exchanged the usual for

While this conversation was in pro

it tells how Honorah Hawkins, the daugh-

starts out in quest OF member OF the

cockney, her diverting efforts in learn

ly married, but is keeping 1T quite until
the demise of a rich uncle from whom he
expects to inherit a fortune. The money
lender insists upon his marrying Miss
Hawkins, in order that he may get his
money, To placate him, the young lord
pretends to WOO the fair Honorah, and
passes off his bride as the wife of another

OF this age. A prominent feature Of his
repertory this season is 'Belphegor, the

OF the French author, D Emery The
introduction of this most Interesting play
into Mr.. Warde's repertory is meeting
with the greatest success. 1t will be the
bill for Sunday night and Wednesday
matinee. The character of "Belphe-
SCR. the Mountebank'' is one of great.
range and tragic force The central
figure Of this sterling play is travelling

shrinks from the display of which she is

SIS their father in his performances, so
wears on her delicate nerves as TO drive
her into sickness. She is left a fortune,
and by combination of circumstances,
for which she is in no way responsible,
she is made to appear in the eyes of her
husband as unfaithful. The progress OF
the plot is consistent toward a powerful
termination and the play bristles with in
tense situations.
On Monday evening Julius Caesar, will
be presented with Mr.. Warde as Mark
Antony On Tuesday evening", Mr.
Warde presents his masterpiece, king
Lear. In the title role Mr. Warde is
seen at his best. His stimulation Of old
age is said to be akin to perfection, his
love for his daughters and his inherent
generosity strongly mfrrored FORTH and
his stubborn will are most graphically
pictured.
Wednesday evening the last of the
present Minneapolis engagement, Mr..

support Mr.. Warde in "Virginius' have
been especially selected for their personal

Stable Economy.

Arrange the stable with view to
the comfort of the animals and so as
to facilitate the work of cleaning,
milking, etc.
At least once every two months
scrub your managers with water and
soap, I've or washing powder.
Leave the cutters behind the cows
open and with enough incline to pro-
vide good drainage.
Have the floor of your stable smooth
and incapable of absorbing liquids,
and enough sloping to cause good
drainage.
In building stable, have the side
walls and ceiling so tight that they
will prevent dust from sitting
through, and so constructed as to
keep cobwebs from collecting. There
should be windows in at least two
sides, providing not less than so. it..
of unobstructed window glass to each
animal.-Er.

The Hand Separator.

See that the separator stands per-
fectly level and firm. When not in
use, keep it well covered so as to pre-
vent dust and sand from getting into
the bearings. Clean all the wearing
parts thoroughly not less than twice
a month.
In separating, maintain an even,
regular speed. Turn the crank at the
indicated number of revolutions.
Have the cream screw set so as to
throw a cream of from SO to 40 per
cent. butter fat. When the milk has
all been separated, flush the bowl out
by pouring into the same about 1 qt.
of water.
After separating, take the milk and
cream cans off; take the bowl apart
and wash all parts, reservoir and pans;
wash in luke warm water, using lit
tie washing powder in water, then
wash with scalding hot water, and
put in the air and sun to dry. Wash
thoroughly after each time it is used.
Never put the bowl together until
wanted for separating.-[Old Separa-
tor.
