CHAPTER XXI.

When the Colonel came there was an
embarrassment in his manner towards
Mrs. Clayton; he was grave, kind and
courteous, as though there had been no
more than an ordinary friendship be-
tween them. He was II solved not to
speak single word of love to her. He
felt ner wealth to be barrier between
them, and could not bear to say what
was in his heart for her, for fear
any doubt of his great love should come
between them-for fear any base thought
should creep in and see a sordid desire
in the renewal of his passion for her.
The last few months had been very
painful to him. When he heard of Fran
els Clayton's sudden death. feeling that
he was ashamed of came over him. He
was not glad, not actually glad-nay. he
felt kind of pity for the man who had
been cut off in the prime of his life. self
ish and ill-spent though it had been; but
he could not forget that Fee was free
He felt that she must be the first to hold
communication with him. Would she do
so? Did she still care for him, and had
she believed truly in the unselfishness
of his remuneration Of her?
Mrs. Hastings was by no means salts
fed with the progress of the affairs. In
stead of the first natural reserve between
Col. d Aguilar and her friend being dssi-
pated it seemed to grow stronger each
day. They avoided, above all things, be-
ing left alone together. Winifred want
ed to help them; she felt certain they car
ed for each other, and, besides, women
in the first flush of happy marriage are
| always inveterate match makers.
''Errol," said his wife one day at lunch,
Il want to drive you over to the Manor
this afternoon. | am going to see grand
papa, and he has grown so fond of you
he never likes me to go without you"
You forget, dear" replied Mr.. Hast
ings, 1--WE cannot be so uncourteous as TO
leave our guests"
How stupid and provoking men are.'
Winifred thought, pettishly. She look
ed up at Col. d Aguilar pleadingly.
You will excuse him, will you not?"
Il was intending TO ask permission TO
ride over and call on Lord Lancing this
afternoon" he answered, fabricating a
polite fiction for the occasion.
"And l have a headache and do not
care to go out" said Mrs. Clayton.
"Then we shall go over TO the Manor
as you wish, Winifred. Have you order

Mrs. Clayton bent her head.

Il should think So" and Mrs. Clayton
rose slowly and left the ROOM
Presently Mr.. Hastings came in.

"Yes, my pet"

do you. dear-why?"
"Never mind. You are not to ask any
questions. cannot tell you the reasons
at all events, not now"
He went up and kissed her.
You seem to have an equal opinion of
your husbands powers of divination and
discretion" he said, laughing.
well, Enrol, but will you?" pleaded
Winifred.
"Of course. l will do anything you
like he answered. at is too late to

Not if you send the letter over to Hol-

Winifred, and smiling a little malicious
ly.
Had you not better consult Fee first q
and then Winifred fairly laughed, but
| would not be induced to say anything
more on the subject. However. the let
ter was duly written and sent and in
three days time the answer arrived. Col.
d Aguilar would have much pleasure in
spending a few days at the Court, and
Mr.. Hastings might expect him the fol-
lowing day.

The poultry products sold by the farmer are practi. eally all profit for his fowls fatten on what would otherwise be wasted. and their wide range insures health and proliicacy.

weather Prediction. at Your Doc,

New developments are taking place in the free mall delivery service. The latest suggestion is to convey the weather predictions through some kin,' of weather signals taken out by the car riers. Where the plan has been tried it has been -elcomed by farmers along the rcnte. be difficulty is in getting the predictions early enough to go out with the carriers. Of 5000 rural de- livery offices ir has been found thai only about 750 can be conveniently ar ranged to deliver Forecasts. Averagin, two carriers to an office means 1,50C carriers who could deliver forecast cards to 10000 farmers families. This would make fair start, and it would doubtless be found that other places can make arrangements to improve the service in this direction.-A merican Cul GyatOr,

Take Care of the Fertility.

It .s time farmers were giving more attention to the preservation of the fer tility of their fields. Steady cropping fin the old method will surely exhaust them sooner or later. This bad end is soon reached on sandy uplands, but should not be reached on any. By greer manuring and other fertilizing the sol may be steadily improved. This re quires work. but it is work that pays and pay is what most people work for Some work for I'ay they never get Farmers who impover;sh their soils by bad farming are losers in the end.
