CHAPTER XXIX.-(Continued
She glanced at him, her beautiful face
full of perplexity; she had gathered a
crimson carnation, and was holding it
between her slender fingers.
II will tell you, Raoul. asked my
father if love were necessary for hap
piness, and he said NO I believed
him; hence my mistake
Your father deceived you.''
HE did deceive me-" she replied.
He looked at the downcast face.
1T is a sad story. Tell me, Mildred
why does your patience fail? I love
Ulric-1 love you; can judge between
you. Why does your patience fail?"
Il do not wish to speak evil of my
husband" she replied, slowly; 1.-THE
very fact that he has injured me should
make me generous to him-the very
fact that I dislike him should compel
me to speak we'll of him. love a noble
foe''
IF you were a foe at all, you would
be noble one,' he said; "but you
are not. You may speak frankly, be-
cause you are speaking to one who
loves Uric Caraven in spite of his
faults. Tell me honestly all about
your dislike"
She was silent for some minutes,
and the crimson leaves of the Glove
carnation fell one by one to the ground.
Il do not like speaking of it," she
began. You must see, Raoul, as we'll
as l do-you must understand. How
could any one help despising and dis
liking man who lives for himself,
VINO cares for nothing but his own
pleasure, and leaves every duty neglect

me the while-who has not since mar

Il see," he replied, quietly. "Now

speak quite frankly-do You SEES one

almost sanity enthusiasm shone on his
face.
1T is possible, Raoul, but"
NAY, be brave. You must not even
think of the word but You must be
enthusiastic over it-nothing can be
done without enthusiasm. You must
give yourself up to it, as mission
airy does to the conversion of the
heather; as a martyr does to his death.
You must work for it, live for it, die
for it. Have you the courage and the
constancy for this, Hildred?"
The light was deepening on her face,
the fire in her eyes. The passion of
his words was beginning to. tell upon
her.

constancy," she replied

Uric was a truthful boy" he said.
DO you know Of anything else in his
favor?'
She thought again.
Il think" she replied, even more
slowly, that he is tender-hearted. He
is not cruel; he does not like to see
people suffer; he is cruel only to me-"
"True in word and tender of heart
these are two good qualities: we know
that he has a handsome face, and easy
grace of manner, a musical voice. You
see I am trying to discover his good
qualities. l will tell you something
else. He is a spendthrift-I do not
deny it. He may Cypress the poor on
his estate-that I am sure is done un-
willingly; but he has never yet refused
to help a comrade in distress. Years
ago, when l was handwriting SOL
der, with nothing to rely on but my
pay, if l would have borrowed, he
would have lent me half his fortune.
He is open-handed."
YES" she replied. Sir Raoul smiled.
Listen again, Hildred. He has done
all kinds of foolish, mad, senseless &C.
lions; but no one ever told of him that
he had done a mean one"
1T was mean to demand rent from
the poor widow whose husband was
killed in his service"
Il am perfectly certain that John
Blantyre has misled him. was the re-
ply.
1T was mean to marry me for nv
money! she said, with flushing face.
"Ah! there I must yield! 1t was mean
it was in one sense, the worst action
of his life,' said Sir Raoul. LET US
make a resume, Hildred. He is true in
word, tender of heart; he was never
cruel; he is open handed he has COM
mitted but one mean action; he is
handsome and accomplished, we'll fitted
to win the heart of any woman. Tell
me-do you think it quite impossible
TO love such a character?"
II can hardly TELL" she replied, slow
ly.
II think that Uric Caraven has in
him the elements of noble character.
Hildred. Give to sculptor a block of
shapeless marble, and what does he
fashion from it?'
"A beautiful statue" she replied.
True. Given a shapeless mass OF
qualities, good and bad intermixed,
say that a good woman from them can
mold a beautiful character. Listen

Dairy Notes.

Reports from England say that there
nave been a number of convictions in
the courts recently for the sale Of but
Ter containing preservatives. One man
was convicted for selling butter con-
tanning Sc grains Of boracic acid to the
pound, and another for selling butter
containing 81 grains Of the same sub
stance to the pound. Yet another was
nned for selling butter with only II
grains OF boracic acid to the pound.
without doubt some OF this butter
came from the United States. It is
known that from the Elgin district
butter containing no salt but preserved
with boracic acid is being sent to Eng
land.
A New York justice, in fining some
milk dealers for watering their milk,
told them that If they came before him
again and were convicted of the same
onense he would send them to the
penltentiary. 1t is asserted by the
omc1als in charge of the enforcement
- VAN A$"o 06dAASt 4OOQ 4QulL0TdLlOu
that 1t is almost impossible to prevent
the watering Of milk. So alarming
have conditions become that the Med
lcal Society OF the County of New
York has appointed committee to de-
wise methods OF improving the milk
supply OF New York City. Doubtless
the doctors have found the bad milk
one OF the greatest obstacles in the
way OF the recovery of their patients
and the thrift of children forced to
live upon it. The aforementioned
commission has hit upon what it be-
ueves to be a practical scheme. It has
selected a few dealers that are known
to be above suspicion and has issued
to them a label that may be used on
each bottle of milk, certifying that the
milk In the bottle is pure. BY SO do
ing it is hoped the consumers will buy
only of those dealers that have or may
have the labels. BY this means the
rogues should be frozen out of bust
ness.

Our readers will be interested in
the reports OF tests at the West Vir-
ginia experiment station relative to
the feeding value Of meat meal and

are undeniably good, but in the tests

meat gave *better results than did the
meat meal. One series of tests do rot
of course settle such matters but they

Barred Plymouth Rock hens and two
cocks were divided into two similar
lots. They were supplied at all times
with grit, grnnulated bone and water.

Hereditary Eject of Tuberculo sis.

Hereditary Eject Of Tuberculosis.
In order to determine the influence Of
tubercle toxins upon the constitution
OF the young animals, a French expert
menter has conducted a number of ,ex-
periments in inoculating guinea pigs.
Five tests were made in which the gui-
nea pigs received the distilled products
of cultures OF the tubercle bacilli. The
NEGOTIATIONS were given several months
before the period of CESSATION began,
and as a result of the incubation the
young were born in diminished num-
bers and either dead or with feeble con-
situations. The author believes from
these experiments that tubercle toxins
influence CESSATION in lessening the
number OF the young, in. causing, the
death of the foetus, the premature
death of the young, or a weakened con-
stitution. Further experiments with
young animals born under these condi-
tions indicated that they are more SEN
sitive to tuberculosis than normal an.
finals.
