CHAPTER ".

Audrey woke with a start the next
morning, and her first thought was how
angry Miss Irons would be that she was
late. The faint, golden rays of the Feb
ruary sun were streaming in through the
sides of the blind the bell was not ring
ing. She looked about her in dazed,
mechanical fashion, sitting up bed,
with her mass of black hair tossed loosely
on her shoulders.
Where was she? Surely that was not
Jeans bed in the other corner? Jean
never snored like that. She rubbed her
eyes, shivered little with the cold, and
then was wide awake. She was not in
her old bedroom, but In her new, and
that sleeping form across in the other
corner was not Jeans small, thin one,
but the large-boned, heavy frame of
BRIGHAM, her fellow-servant.
She shut the door quietly and went
down stairs, and brushed away briskly
at the riding habit and other garments
for a good half hour; then, with a shy
laugh, she determined to go on to the
servants quarters and reconnoiter.
st must meet the others sooner or
later" she thought.
A rosy checked housemaid was busy
with her broom and stopped to courtesy
as she saw what she took 10 be a guest
coming dSwn the wide oaken staircase
there were always two or three strangers
at Dinglewood. Audrey was gazing out
of her lovely dark blue eyes with deep
pleasure and interest at the fresh won
ders that met her gaze at every turn {;
her young, buoyant, nervouSly excitable
heart thrilled as with delight at the carv-
ed oaken panels, the ful-isngth costume
portraits the figures in armor that stood
in their inches, as though guerding the
old house as their dead and gone wearers
did in the days of yore. The bousemaid's
respectful courtesy first provoked smile
and then little sigh.

going wrong?" she said, and then she put
out her hand. II am the new maid, Au-
drey Maxse Shall we be friends? What
is your name? If it is like your face
it is sure to be nice"
The housemaid stared at her in amaze
ment; but when she saw that Audrey
still held out her hand, she put her own
rough palm into it, while she grinned
good naturally.

Hnfr-RnIIn.

We are frequently asked what causes
hair-balls. These concretions are pro-
duced by the animals licking them
selves or other animals AS a result
Of this habit the hairs swallowed are
carried around by the contractions Of
the stomach and gradually assume the
form OF small pellet or ball. These
increase In size as fresh quantities of
hair are introduced into the stomach,
which become adherent to the surface
of the hair-ball. These hair-balls are
found most frequently In the reticulum
or second stomach, although sometimes
in the rumen. In calves, hair-balls are
generally found in the fourth stomach.
There are no certain symptoms by
which we can determine the presence
Of hair-balls, and therefore no treat
ment can be recommended for such
cases. The walls of the reticulum have
in some cases been found transfixed
with nails or pieces Of wire, and yet
the animals during life had not shown
any symptoms of indigestion, but had
died from maladies not involving the
second stomach.-St. Louis Globe-Dem

Destroying Weeds.

There are two ways of completely
destroying weeds. One is to let them
have the opportunity to grow and, by
frequently cultlvating them, turn them
under as fast as they make their APP
pearance; the other being to crowd
them out by growing some crop that
will not give the weeds a chance to
grow. No system of cultivation will
kill all the weeds If a crop is desired
such as corn-for the grass and
weeds will only be kept down so long
as cultivation lasts, especially as corn
Is usually laid by" at a time when
the weeds are producing seeds, thus es-
tablishing themselves for the succeed
ing year. AS a test OF what supposed
clean culture Of corn may be, simply
cut down a row of stalks and row
of weeds will remain. AS single weed
produces thousands of seed, the labor
of destroying the weeds must be re-
peated next season.

1t is so easy to ruin a young horse

der people are not more careful. Coun-
try boys often think 1t SMART to
hitch up a green colt and drive to town
the first trip. 1t looks dashIng and
brave, but 1t Is really senseless. A
frightened young animal threw itself
on a paved street of town the first
time it was taken there and broke its
leg. 1t was bewildered by the noise
and crowds and had never felt the
touch of harness before. Don't go off
on Sunday afternoon knowing that
your sons and all the boys in the
neighborhood will hitch up the colt. A
noisy, yelling crowd Is enough to scare
steady horse, and a young one will
try to jump out Of it's skin when sur

for fun. 1t may be fun for them, but
the future usefulness of the animal Is
at stake.-Richardson. in National

Multiplication of Weeds.

To give some idea of how weeds
multiply 1t may be stated that a single
plant Of pepper grass will produce 49,,
900 seeds; dandelion, 1900; shep-
herds purse, $4,000; wheat thief, T.
600; common thistles, 65,000; chamo-
mile, 10000; ragweed, 5000; purs-
laine, 375,O00; plantain,o $4,000, and
burdock, $4,000. The Importance of not
allowing a single weed to produce seed
cannot be alluded to too frequently.
A single hours work in destroying
weeds may save week. Of labor next
season.

will get on well with her, py dear, and
be happy in your new home.''
Miss Fraser came home very tired
about o'clock, and found BRIGHAM, her
first maid, carefully instructing the new
conner in the various duties expected of
her. Audrey, mindful of her mistress
commands, had put on her only other
gown, thick gray one of rough material,
with neat collar and cuffs, and a black
ribbed apron. Her hair was brushed
straight off her face. and rolled in huge
knot at the back of her exquisitely shaped
head. She was pale, but her eyes were
shining with admiration and surprise and
some excitement. Never, in Ler widest
dreams, had she conjured up so many
lovely things as were massed together in
Sheila Fraser's apartments, with their
silken hangings, their dainty furniture.
costly ornaments, and the hundred and
one appointments which finished every
corner.

She hardly liked to tread on the Per

Audrey stood in a dusky corner wit
her hands folded, as Miss Fraser, havin
plunged into her bath and thus refreshe
and invigorated herself, sat before tn
long, ivory-mounted duchesse mirror, an
put herself into Bircham's hands to hay

Glover is injured when cattle are
permitted on the field when the land
is very wet. There is a temptation to
allow cows to use the clover fields
some, but any gain by so doing is al
ways at the expense of loss IN some
other manner. Cattle do much harm
by tramping; for which reason not
even the pasture should be used until
the grass has made considerable growth.
Close grazing should never be allowed.

CHAPTER III.


Sheila Fraser explained everything in
her sharp way, and Audrey, standing
modestly in the background, looked in
admiration and surprise at the neat, well
turned figure sitting easily III The saddle,
at the small, oval face under the straight
hat brim, and the coil of red gold hair
at the nape of the neck.
How pretty this Miss Fraser was Her
teeth were so even and SD white. her
cheeks so rosy warm In color; only her
eyes seemed cold and hard They moved
about quickly, and to Audrey were just
like sharp needles.
II rode back to inquire after Lord
John at his mothers request, because
some ono said he was really hurt. Now,

Miss Fraser tapped her smell foot with
her whip impatiently, and then frowned.

drey's face again, but she could see
through it easily, and she did not like

and cruel than before.
