Would you mind asking Jones to
send over something for me to wear
in the morning?" said Frederic, grin

clothes.

them before an open fire and slipped

Lydia was suddenly shy and embar-
raised.
Good night" she whispered. Her
fingers brushed his cheek lightly. He
drew her down to him and kissed her
passionately.
Goodnight, my Lyddy!" he said,
softly, his cheek flushing.
She went quickly from the room.
Later he stood in her sweet, dainty
little bedroom and looked about him
with a feeling Of mingled awe and
wonder. All of her intimate, exquisite
belongings, the sanctified treasures Of
her most secret domain wee about
him. He wandered. He fingered the
articles on her dressing table; smelled
of the perfume bottles and smiled as
he recognized the sweet odors as be-
ing part Of her, and not a thing unto
themselves; grinned delightedly at his
own photograph in its silver frame
that stood where she could see 1t the
last thing at night and the first thing
in the morning; caressed-ay, caressed
the little hand mirror that had re-
Elected her gay or troubled face so
many times since the dear Christmas
day when he had given 1t to her with
his love. He stood beside her bed
where she had stood, and the soft rug
seemed to respond to the delightful
tingling that ran through his bare
feet. Her room! Her bed! Her do
main!
Suddenly he dropped to his knees
and buried his hot face in the cool,
white sheets, and kissed them over and
over again. Here was sanctuary! His
eyes we're wet with tears when he
arose to his feet, and his arms went
out to the closed door.
MY Lyddy!" he whispered chok.
ingly.
Back there in the rose-hued light of
James Brood's study, Yvonne cringed
and shook in the strong arms of her
husband all through that savage
storm. She was no longer the def
ant, self-possessed creature he had
come to know so well, but shrinking,
trembling child, stripped Of all her
bravado, all her arrogance, all her
seeming guile. A pathetic whimper
crooned from her lips in response to
his gentle words Of reinsurance. She
was aid-desperately afraid-and
she crept close to him in her fear.
And he? He was looking backward
to another who had nestled close to
him and whimpered as she was doing
now-another who had lived in terror
when it stormed.

touch of insolence in her voice. you

said, coldly.
Certainly. The place you were

1t was clear to all of them that
Yvonne was piqued, even angry. She
deliberately crossed the room and
threw herself upon the couch, an act
so childish, so disdainful that for q
full minute no one spoke, but stared
at her, each with different emotion.
Lydias eyes were flashing. Her lips
parted, but she withheld the angry
words that rose to them. Brood's ex'
preston changed slowly from dull
anger to one Of incredulity, which
swiftly gave way to positive Joy. His
wife was jealous!
Frederic has biting his lips nerv'
ously. He allowed Lydia to pass him
on her way out. scarcely noticing her
so intently was his gaze fixed upon
Yvonne. When Brood followed Lydia
into the hall to demonstrate, the young
man sprang eagerly to his stepmoth

that was a nasty thing to say. What
will Lydia think? By CAD, Is 1t pos
sible that you are jealous? OF Lydia?'
"Jealous?" cried she, struggling with
her fury. Jealous of that girl! Poof!

Frederic opened his eyes at the
sound Of a gentle, persistent tapping
on the bedroom door. Resting on his
elbow, he looked blankly, wonderingly
about the room and-remembered. It
was broad daylight. The knocking
continued. He dreamed on, his blink
ing eyes still seeking out the dainty,
Lydialike treasures in the enchanted
room.
Frederick! Get upl It's nine
o'clock. Or will you have your break
fast in bed, sir?" 1t was Lydia who
spoke, assuming fine Irish brogue in
imitation of their little maid Of all
work.
'T1l have to, unless my clothes have
come over?"
They are here. Now, do hurry"
He sprang out of bed and bounded
across the room. She passed the gar.
ments through the partly opened
door.
He was artistic, temperamental.
Such as he have not the capacity for
haste when there is the slightest op-
portunity to dream and dawdle. He
was full quarter of an hour taking
his tub and another was consumed in
getting into his clothes. He sailed
forth in great haste at nine-thirty-five
and was extremely proud of himself
although unshaved.
His first act, after warmly greeting
Mrs. Desmond, was to sit down at the
piano. Hurriedly he played few
jerky, broken snatches of the haunt
ing air he had heard the night before.

the dark circles under her eyes, and
the queer expression, as Of trouble, in

Night with its wonderful sensations
was behind them. Day revealed the
shadow that had fallen. They uncon
sciously shrank from 1t and drew bach
into the shelter of their own misgiv
wings. The joyous abandon of the
night before was dead. Over its grave
stood the specter of unrest, leering.
When he took her in his arms latel
on, and kissed her, there was not the
shadow of a doubt in the mind o.
either that the restraining influence
of a condition over which they had nc

The Vermont Agricultural Exten-

Wheat bran, 20 pounds; Paris

syrup, two and half quarts; oranges

Anything of this nature must, of
course, be made and distributed with

children as well as grasshoppers if
placed where they are readily ac-
cessible
Thoroughly mix together the bran
and Paris green An ordinary wash
tub will answer for this purpose. In

the molasses or syrup squeeze the
juices of the fruit, then chop up fine

add this also to the molasses mix
