Tho pretty, pale sirl. si 11 lull iik niiiie behind her uncle; the uncle himself wiih the dull per plexity in his eyes, seemed to him in the chosily licht of the early moruinc so utterly broken down, so bewildered, so miserable, lhat he wauled 10 slink a way without oxehaucinc fun her word with llii'in. I'.ut this, of course, was 0111 of the (piestioii. "I have had liotliinc taken." ho said, hurriedly. "Nothiiic whatever." "You think the woman was maybe only taklnc a look round by way of pnssinff Iho time':" siicC'sied Claris, still in tho same crini tone. T.owndos was silent. "And, pray, if I may make so bold.'1 went 011 iho iukeepor. in a throaletiiiu tone, after a few minutes' pause, "wlial was she like, this woman':" "I couldn't see. It was dark, you know." "Hut you're sure it was u woman, of course':" There was. perhaps. 11 note of inter est in Claris's irony this time. "Yes," answered Lowndes, with n little more decision, ''I am sure of that. She moved like 11 woman, and had a woiiiiin's head and a woman's skirls, t saw her head as she cot out of the window. I saw her skirls moving about before 1110 when 1 col down to the ground." "And that's all you've cot to say? Now, Nell, tell 11s what you saw." Alld he turned triumphantly to his niece. Nell was standing opposite (he win dow, nnd the gray licht of the uioru inc cnnie over ihe top of the shutters full on .ior face. It was white, weary, and there wore dark linos under the eyes, which wore heavy and lusterless. Kvery word she tittorod bore so the yotinc man thought nil odd stamp aa of truth and sincerity. "I woke up suddenly, hearing 11 loud noise. I snw the door fall in and some one rush through and got out oi th window. I sprang up and looked out. and saw this gentleman sliding down from ilie roof of the outhouse on to the crouiiil." "I didn't see you."' inlerrupicd Lowndes, sharply, with 11 not her doubt. "You did nol look up." replied the girl, with composure. "You ran away through tho canh'ii to the right. I dressed ipilekly. ami rim downstairs and out by the buck door to see what was tho matter. When I got out you had scrambled up iho hank and wore talking to my tiuolo." I,ovndos said nothing: there was milling to say. Hut. although it i true that he had not given much ill tout lull when he bursi into tho upper room to anything but the window and the escaping figure, ho felt convinced that if there had been a person in bed in the room lie should have soon her, or hoard some cry, some word, 10 Indi cate her presence. "Now, you've heard another slory, Aiid. begginc your pardon. I'd sooner take her word than yours." "Hut." suggested Lowndes in a con ciliatory lone, "do the two stories con tradict ouch oilier? All this young laily says Is thai she did not see tho woman pass through her room." "No. nor any one else, either," hurst out Uoorge Claris, ns if his patience was at last exhausted.

All important ami unsettled ipli -tloli is bow long ;i cow shicili' be milked. Though there are 110 experiment thai Villi boused forguides. l'roi'e--oi'lleeker says the record of the dairy herd til the Minnesota Kxperini' in SMtioii gin s some information on th" Mibju-i.

Some cases would Indicate, however, lhat cows are much more sulijeei to fever after a l-ilig resl than a slinri one. There can be no sot tide as I i how long a cow -iioiihl he dry. ll s this will depend upon the age, con iit ton. breed and ipialily of the indi vidual animal. A helf r or young cow should be milked longer than an old cow. If the heifer go's a long rest the first year she may form the loiideticy to dry up early. A e..w much run down in strength and lle-h should be g.ven time to build up. A good cow will milk longer than a poor cow. It would bo practicable to milk the dairy cow ton months in the year, while in the case of some common iou- it might not bo profitable to mill; more than seven, 'faking ii all in all. Ii will ho found niosi practicable to give the cows ahoul two months re-i between the milking periods. Hoes it injure a cow tiiaterilty ns a milker to 'illow her tirst calf lo run wiih her during the summer? That is, when 1 hey come frc-h in the spring or early summer, and are milked alter stabling; time begins in the fall.' This should never be done when the he'fer is intended for dairying. The first year is by far the most important in the making .of a cow. Li lting the calf suck has iho following objections: The heifer as a cow w ill take less kind ly to being milked. Tile milk ''dug drawn frcoiieiiih by iho calf prevents the udder from developing capacity. When the calf is removed, the cow goli-ta-iilly dries up. She will not appro-vi.-io- the change and cease to 11: ilk as a result. A cow nursing a calf will diy up oonor ilian if being milked. Leiiiu the calf fuck tends to shorten the milking period It is harder ou the mn- physically. A calf can be 2 .1. -ni more ohc. ply on skim milk. Aljutull Surface CaltiTulor. A surface cultivator which can read ily he adjusted to various widths be iw eon rows, and to which cultivator teeth or small plows may be quickly attached when it is desired to culti vate the ground more deeply, forms the subject manor of an invention re cently pnteiilcl by Mr. W.

The ends of the shovel blade extend backward at an ling!" to the body of the blade, so as to shovel the sod laterally among the plant.-' in the drill and cover up any little vegetation that the blade cannot reach without I cutting ihe plants. Another typo of blade also is provided, which will be found useful for certain conditions. This blade, as shown in the engraving. Is rounded .it tho lower corner of each cud. so as 10 prevent Injury 10 the plants. I'hese blades are sitlluieiil for or dinary surface work, but when deeper cultivation is reipiireil. cultivator tooth may be attach 'd to the shovel blade--, as shown in th- sectional views.
