To-day I recognized Travis, myself un-

fearlessly and gracefully by his side.
In that terrible moment of your peril,
one prayer only trembled on my lips
that might be in time God answered
it. The unspoken words reached his
great, lis tening ear. Avice, darling, will
you redeem your childhood's p1edge?"
Was it love? Was It duty? Again
this question thrilled the girls heart.

The Kitchen Garden,

While gardening is steadily on the
increase, yet it is a deplorable fact
that. many farmers have little or no
garden and by this means deprive
themselves of a privilege that should
be taken advantage of by every one.
Nothing is more healthful or more
easily produced for the use of the
family than a good supply of garden
vegetables of all kinds. Thus it is
that nearly the. entire living of the
family can be secured from such a
garden for several months in the year.
and that living is the most healthful
and palatable. of anything that can be
furnished, especially when fruits are
added. We would not advise farmers

Seeming the odOr of a cigarette as
she passed through hall in the board

Thompson glanced about to see whence
the smoke came. So did Mrs. Walter
Javines, who was with her. A thin
cloud was coming from the room of
Miss Harriet Rice, who writes novels.
AS the door was open, they looked in.
Miss Rice was reclining on couch.
III her dainty fingers she held a gold
tipped cigarette, and ever and anon
she would place the gold tip to her
lips and inhale the fragrant smoke,
and then let it curl and eddy outward.

An argument followed. Its exact na

CHAPTER XII.
At the Ball.

Three years ago Avice Meredith,
standing by her dead fathers side. had
thought all the brightness had forever
died out Of her life; but be, in his old
er wisdom, ere his speech had been
forever silenced, had spoken truly
young lives like young vines ever
throw out fresh tendrils in pursuit of
happiness, and young sunshine is too
intense to be long hid behind the
darkest clouds.
To her brother only, in that terri
bic time, she clung for comfort; and
when, as gently as he could, Travis
reminded her of her fathers last
wishes, her whole nature shrank from
their fulfillment.
'He said, only if Mr.. Lennox him
self sought me. Do not seek him
Travis. could not bear it! Let me
go into a convent school for three
years to study. Then ! will be obedi-
ent to your wishes, as l should have
been to dear papa's."
Her entreaty was too earnest to be
gainsaid. In her deep grief the child
love she had once experienced for Mil
ton Lennox seemed suddenly to be
followed by repulsion, as her woman's
pride asserted itself.
The true reason which made her
fathers wish SO urgent Travis could
not reveal to her. He could not him.
self yet realize it; but he saw in sez
clusion. she at least would receive pro-
lection, and be shielded against the
world. And so it was that at last she
gained his consent to her plan.
One letter had reached her in all
this time which had brought vivid
scarlet to her cheeks and brow. Mil
ton wrote:
Il have just heard of your deep loss,
and my heart has gone out, not only in
sympathy. but in love, to my little
child-wife. SO call you, Avice, in my
own soul-so I enshrine you, pure and
perfect. My own life looks black be-
side the stainless whiteness of yours;
but In its future. every. good and noble
thought or deed shall be owed to you:
I am ready to come to YOU whenever
you call upon me, but there will: dawn
day when shall not wait your
summons. On your eighteenth birth
day shall see you-shaN come in
search Of your promise. Avice, it is
for you to say whether my coming
shall be in vain. Yet how dare. I
hope that you should love me-? But,

TESTING ReQuires Skill,

sSSS'hS inquiries oNltJs
The details of sampling and testing
required are worthy of the factory
mans most earnest attention and care,
says Professor Eckles of the Missouri
Station. The Babcock test under prop
er conditions of use does exact justice
to all, and instead OF being a cause OF
friction between patrons and creamery,
it should be peacemaker and Judge
that increases business and en-
courages improvement among the
herds of the dairymen. 1t pays to do
your testing carefully and honestly 1t
pays as a business policy, leaving out
for the moment the questions of right
and wrong. 1t pays to give every man
just what he is entitled to-no more
and no less. believe a creameryman
should know where he furnishes set
of tests that he would be able to go
before court and swear they are cor
rect. 1t does not take the patrons of
creamery long to find out whether
the testing is being done carefully or
not. I do not believe it pays for
man to attach an air of mystery to the
method of testing or to keep the time
of testing secret and allow no pa
irons to be present. Rather announce
the time the testing is to be done, and
invite all to be present, and demon
strate how simply the system is car
ried out. Let a factory manager once
gain the confidence of his patrons by
accurate, careful work and the trouble
over this question at the factory is
about over.

tlty OF food; third, uniformity in quail
lty or food; fourth, uniformity in tenn
perature OF food; fifth, cleanliness
Inc young calf should be fed at least
tnree times a day for two or three
weeks, and preferably four times. The
ration the first week or ten days
should consist Of whole milk fed at
temperature Of about 100 degrees
fahr. This ration may be gradually
changed to skim milk by introducing
small amount into the whole milk
ration and gradually increasing the
proportion, being careful to feed al.
ways at the same temperature. The
pace OF the fat removed in the cream
may be taken by oatmeal or flaxseed
meal boiled, being careful to make
out a very slight addition in the usual
amount at any one time. Most ills
mat calves are heir to arise from a VIC.
iatlon OF some one of the principles
nave mentioned or from a lack OF
cleanliness. Almost every case OF
scours or Indigestion may be traced
TO some sudden change in the time OF
1eedlng, the quantity or temperature
VI 1ood fed. "The boy is father OF
Inc man" is trite saying, but even
more surely the calf is mother OF
tne COW. The ill-fed, dyspeptic, un.
thrifty calf can never hope to develop
anything but commonplace COW, and
Two or three successive generations OF
calves SO treatel are surely enough
to chill the aspirations of the most
sanguine dairy man. The calf once
past the age of three months is usual.
~ safe, the danger from that time on
lying IN the risk of getting too much
food and taking on fat rather than
growing. 1t is usually best to breed
when about Is months old and when
four or five months advanced in preg.
nancy, or even sooner a heavier ration
OF a kind fitted for milking COWS,
should be fed. AS parturition ap-
proaches she should be fed as much as.
she can stand OF foods suited for
COWS in full milk, even though she get
lat and develop an abnormal udder.
Much of her future usefulness depends
upon her treatment during the first
period of her lactation. A ration must
be found that will induce milk produc-
tion, but such as will not encourage
the laying on of fat She must be
treated kindly, well fed and milked
for twelve months or longer. Habits
formed during the milking period stick
to the COW as long as she lasts. Sov
let these habits be good ones In
