Gble-I would sooner DIE than my daugh-
ter should wed a pauper." The speaker,
Farmer Talbot. was white with rage. and
he more than once threatenlngly raised q
heavy hunting-crop he carried.
His companion. a g~ood-looking young
fellow of some two and twenty summers.
up to this point had kept his temper dur
ing a long harangue of which the above
was merely the tag. but the last remark
proved too much for him.
Every we'll. Mr.. Talbot. if that is your
decision, then listen to mine l swear that
l snail marry Alice very soon, and neither
you nor any other man will prevent me.
l am poor because circumstances are
against, bat 1 can work, and as for you
money, you insult me by mentioning 1t.
We love one another very dearly, and
there's no need to make your miserable
wealth a stumbling block between u.s."
Leonard Chadwick tried to speak calmly
but inwardly he was boiling with indigna-
ton.
Don't you dare to give me any of you
inso' nee about what you are going TO do"
Talbot replied III passionate tones. for If
l catch you speaking to my daughter
again lll-IM horsewhip you-you fortune

He mad a sudden movement forward as
he spoke, his face convulsed with rage,
and raising the crop he carried. aimed a
violent blow at Leonard's head; the latter,
stepping back quickly. avoided It's full
force, but the stick descended heavily on
his light hand, causing him to drop the
rifle he was carrying to the ground. For
q moment he stood irresolute. livid with
fury at this attack. then, picking up his
weapon, he mut.ered hoarse,y:
You shall. hear more about this, sir,
You are her father, and only that fact
keeps my hands from you now" With
these words he strobe rapidly from the
spot.
The little village of Cherry Linton was
all agcg with excitement. Nearly every
one who was somebody. and he majority
of those who We're not, nae turned out to
witness the opening OF a grand new rifle
range.
This was a free gift from Sir Samuel
Barnes. who had recently been imbued
with the prevalent and laudable notion

"A voice, tbs low and wondrous sweet.
A pleasant voice to hear.

little difference has been found in the et-
ficiency OF a round chimney flue lining
and a square one in domestic use.
Some builders claim that flue built too
large is worse than one built too small.
This might be true II carried to an undue
extreme, but II is safe TO say that there
are very few examples in existence Of a
flue being too large to demonstrate the
truth of such a theory. The great trouble
is in getting them too small. A flue for
an ordinary cooking stove should not be
less than eight inches iii diameter. One
flue accommodating two stoves should be
at least eight inches by twelve inches in
diameter. Heating plant fiues should not
be less than twelve inches by twelve
inches. The sectional area OF the fireplace
flue should be one-terth OF the area Of the
fireplace opening; for example, II the fire
place opening is four feet wide and two
and half feet high, the sectional area
Of the opening would be ten square feet
one-tenth of this makes the flus twelve
inches square.
Chimney fiues should never be built upon
posts, but extend to the ground with a.
good foundation finder them either Of con-
crete or stone, and have at the lowest
point In flue cast iron door and frame
