Ten days later news came to Mount
berry that Craiglands was preparing to
receive her grace of Marlborough. who
was returning with her son. Lord Iverne,
and her daughter-in-law, Lady John Glen
durwood. and, as may be supposed, the
village was greatly exercised in its mind
over this intelligence, having had its
curiosity whetted considerably by the
vague and unsatisfactory rumers that had
| been circulated about the same said Lady
John.
Dinglewood House was shut up, and it
was understood vaguely that Miss Fraser
was visiting though where no one exact
" knew. 1t was generally voted annoy
ing that Sheila should have been absent
just now. She could have thrown light
on a good deal of what was perplexing,
and have, moreover. given the real ac-
count of what had happened at the ball;
whether it was true that Lady John had
firted and behaved so abominably. or
whether DR.. and Mrs. Thorngate were
correct in saying that somebody had imi-
tated hss ladyship's domino, and cleverly
tricked the whole room of guests into
imagining that it was Lady John who so
thoroughly disgraced herself and her hus-
bands name. Then Sheia, too, could
have given the exact history as to what
had occurred between Lord John and his
wife, and what was the meaning of all
the extraordinary rumors that had been
circulated.
But Sheila was not on hand to be
questioned, and, in default Of encourage
ment, it was really wonderful how soon
the excitement and curiosity began to
die away and how readily everybody grew
to consider Audrey as having been most
injured by the trick that had been so
wantonly played upon her. In fact, by
the time Christmas was due, Lady John
and her doings were a theme too old to
be mentioned anywhere. and the affairs
at Craiglands would have been passed
over as almost Indifferent and uninterest-
ing, but that, just as the joybells were
proclaiming the birth of a new Christ
child, the icy fingers of the death angel
were laid upon the heart of Duncan Mar
quis of Iverne, and he was taken from
his bed of suffering to a reign of peace
and rest.

MODEL FACTORY STRIKE.
KenOsha's Famous "Sunshine" Ho-
siery Plant in Trouble.

The Chicago-Kenosha hosiery works,
famous throughout the country as the
factory where the life of the worker is
flooded with sunshine" had the first
strike in its history the other morning
when seventy men employed in the press
room of the plant in Kenosha made de-
mand for higher wages and, this being
refused, walked out. The company en-
ploys 1,4O0 people and the strikers de-
clare that the other employees are favor
able to them. The plant has always been
a model. The highest wages have been
paid and everything has been done to
make the life of the workers pleasant.
Noon lunches with parks for the use of
the employees were the feature of the
plan.

Organic Plant Foods.

Plant foods exist in the soil In solu
inert mineral matter. Plants, to ,lac-
complish their life, to arrive to- the
state Of being organic, have absolute
need Of that which is the result of the
decomposition of other vegetabI. or ami
NAL organic matter spread Upon the
surface of the earth. Some plants are
largely beneficial, as there are plants
which, although imparting to the soil
part of their nourishInent by the
means Of their roots left IN the ground,
quantity Of atmospheric matter by
means of their leaves, such as carbons,
and have besides tits great advantage,
that even when thy are carried out OF
the field they leaTe more organic mat
ter than they lave consumed for their
growth. tjJ largely owing to this adj
mirable Pr Jperty Of certain plants to
produce Rlore organic matter than they
absorb from the earth that it is posi-
bic to maintain the fertility of a piece
of ground in rendering to it only a part
Of that which it has produced. If
plants were nourlshed only by the hui
mus spread upon the earth farmers
would be compelled to replace the pro-
duction which can not be converted into
manure by proportionate quantity Of
vegetables cultivated in another piece
o. land, and If the strength of the veg
citation should diminish even little by
little, the money used for the cultiva-
ton of the soil would eventually be
lost. Fortunately for the farmer, he
can Increase the quantity of plant food
in his soil by growing crops to be
plowed under, or by adding barnyard
manure and fertilizer, the advantages
thus afforded being within the reach OF
all.

BRIDGE SIX MILES Love.
Crystal Arch Over Lake Winnebago
Is Freak of the Winter.

The largest bridge in the world spans
Lake Winnebago, but it is not the tri
umph of an architects skill that strung
it across six miles of water. The lake
was covered with ice twenty-five inches
thick, when the sluice gates at the Me-
nasha dam We're opened. causing the
water to fall eighteen inches, but leaving
the ice suspended that distance above the
water. at the north and south ends of
the lake, where the current of the river
is strong, the ice fell away while for
half mile at the center of the lake the ice
remained, making great bridge that is
passable and on which fishermen took
chances with their lives.
