Archibald Terhune, a popular and In
dolent young bachelor Of London, re-
ceives news that he has been made heir
to the estate Of his Aunt Georgiana, with
an income Of $4,000 a year, on condition
that he becomes engaged to be married
within ten days. Failing to do 80 the
legacy will go to third cousin in Amer
lea. The story opens at Castle Wyckon.
where Lord Vincent and his wife, friends
of Terhune, are discussing plans to find
him a wife within tho prescribed time. 1t
seems that Lady Vincent is one Of seven
persons named Agatha, all close girlhood
chums She decides to invite two OF them
to the castle and have Archie there as
one Of the guests. Agatha Sixth strikes
Archie as a handpainted beauty. Agatha
First Is a breezy American girl. Lady
Vincent tells her husband that Agatha
Sixth already cares for Archie. He gains
from Agatha Sixth the admission that
she cares for him, but will require a
months time fully to make UP her mind.
Agatha First, neglected by Terhune, re-
ceives attentions from Leslie Freer. -Four
days Of the precious time have passed
when Terhune is called to London on
business. Agatha First, on the plea OF
sickness, excuses herself from motor
trip planned by the Vincents. Later they
zee Agatha First picking flowers with a
strange man. The Vincents discuss
Agatha's' seeming duplicity. The follow
ing day the party visits the ruins OF an
old convent. Terhune continues his at
tentions to Agatha Sixth.

DRAINAGE WORK is NOW DUE
Some Very Important Suggestions for
Laying Out Plans Which Will
Bring Best Results.
(By W. r. GILBERT.)


The average life of the drains in
many soils is probably not more than
twenty-five years. and even If the
drains are not as old as that they may
have become blocked by roots Of trees
or sinkage of Individual pipes.
!; The point then to decide will be
whether to take up part of the system
and relay, or commence an entirely
new one. In the majority Of cases 1t
will be found that it is most satisfac-
tory to lay down an entirely new sys-
tenn and this is the course generally
adopted.
In laying out a new scheme Of tile
drainage the following are the main
points that will require investigation
before the working plan can be pre-
pared or the work commenced.
No rule of thumb can be given, but
It may be said that on the heavier
clays a distance apart Of six yards
and an average depth Of two feet, nine
inches would be ample while on the
lighter sands and wet gravels 20 yards
apart and an average Of three feet,
three inches for depth would not be
too much. AS a general rule on me-
ium soils minor drains are set eleven
dunn soils minor drains are set eleven
Drains need not to be SO near to-
gether on arabic as in grass land.
Drains should be at an average Of six
inches deeper than the side drains.
Main drains should have fall OF
not less than one in $50 or about 20
feet per mile The actual position Of
minors with reference to the slope
has been the subject of much discus
sion, but where the fall is fairly good
they may be taken across the slope
and this is generally the most practi
cable way.
The number of square yards in ar
acre (4,480) divided by the distance
apart of the minors will give the to
tai length Of side drains per acre
This, If the side drains are II yards
apart, their total length on an acre o.
ground will be 440 yards.
Choosing the positions for the out
falls is often by no means an easy
task, but 1t may be taken as a prin
ciple that the fewer outfalls there are
the better, as each requires to b<
cleaned out periodically, and If there
is a multiplication of them one o.
the other is certain to be overworket
some time. The outfall should b,
placed as far above the water level o
the stream or ditch into which 1
empties as circumstances will allow
but If there is any chance Of food
water backing up the drain, this mu<a
be provided against by fastening al
hinged flap over the end Of the outfal
pipe.
In the selection Of tiles great car
should be taken for in this as in man,
other things the strength Of a chail
is its weakest link, and through tn
flying" Of a main drain the create
part of an entire drainage system ma,
be rendered comparatively useless.

CHAPTER Viii.

It was on the return trip to the cas-
tie that found an opportunity to talk
confidentially with Terhune. He and
I were walking home, as seven was

wanted the exercise.
"What in thunder do you mean by
it," l demanded when I had finished
setting his cratic and inconsiderate
conduct before him in it's true light

the incident of the automobile in the
wood, and our later discovery of the
checked coat in his closet. All refer
ence to this little episode and the
suspicious of Dearest and myself in
regard to his connection with it,
had felt obliged to omit. We had de-
cided not to mention the subject to
him as we had after all only circum-
stantial evidence upon which to base
our belief that Terhune had been
Agatha Ffrst's companion that day.
For, after all, the checked coat we
found in his closet might only have
resembled the one / saw In the car.
and he might easily have owned one
of the kind without our ever having
seen it. Our friendship with Arch
was too dearly priced by us to risk
falsely accusing him. And then
couldn't help feeling that after all
had rather surprised them when had
come upon them in the woods. and in
seeing what was not meant to have
seen, had rather played the spy, how
ever inadvertently it might have been
done. And l did not relish making
use of information so obtained. 1t

decided, to act simply as If my dis
covery had never been.

CHAPTER VII.-Continued.

Freer had returned from his visit
60 the ruins and was erdeavoring to
interest the rest of us, Arch and
Agatha Sixth and Dearest and my
SELF in O dissertation upon rose-win-
dows, when Agatha First interrupted
us by running up and exclaiming:
"Do come and see the waterfall.
Peterson says there's beauty over
there in those woods!" She had been
down to the road with something or
other from III spread. where the au-
tomobile and the chauffeur awaited
our return.
"A WATERFALL" said Archibald.
~Dear me! How jolly! Let's go and
gee til"
Come on, them" cried Agatha
First, pausing and looking at him
expectantly. He rose obediently, but
before he could more than utter the
words Delighted, I'm sure!" Agatha
Sixth had risen also, and was now
confronting him, as she coldly and
haughtily reminded him that he had
promised to 60 and look for wild
flowers with her. It was putting the
old boy in an awkward position, ad-
init, but that's no excuse for his sub
sequent behavior. A tactful speech
would have saved the day, but that
something perverse about him, which
he has in common with most men,
made him want most at that moment
the girl who wanted him least. And
that girl was certainly Agatha First,
tor without waiting to see. whether he
came or not, she had run off by her
self, all eagerness to see the water
tall.
Without considering the rashness
of such a speech, Archibald replied to
Agatha Sixth's rebuke by remarking
casually: $50 I did. promise to go
and look for wild flowers, but didn't
know about the waterfall then;
wouldn't you rather come and see
that first?" We shuddered to hear
him, Dearest and I. 1t was pretty bad,
you know. Yet, as I say I thought

the fatal words-just what spirit
prompted him. But Dearest thinks

of the trouble it had caused. She
