Nell !f lie would promise to reform
anil encouraged the fisherman to per
secute Nell more than ever. It was she
who persuaded .Jem lo woo with n less
arrogant air. with offers to "turn over
a new leaf" for her sake, and other
similar MandisimieiKs.
And although Nell guessed who It
was that had Inspired this alteration,
the girl was obliged to take a different
attitude to her unwelcome wooer in
consequciiiv. It Is easy to lie haughty
and studiously f riniti to n presumptu
ous person: l.ut when that person he
comes meek and almost servile in his
endeavors to make himself useful,
even in Ihe humblest capacity, when
lie Insists upon chopping your wood
and carry in;: your water, thru it is dif
ficult to maintain a properly freezing
attitude.
- The climax came one afternoon
' wh.-n Nell was Invited to tea by M'ss
Bostal, and was let in on her arrival
by the detested Jem.
Nell looked quif shocked when, on
entering the house, she learned from
the young man's lips that he had been
llivitttl, too.
The young girl turned to the door of
the dining-room, where a small lire
burned in honor of the occasion, to go
in search of her hostess. Jem, who
was In h's Sunday clutlies, in which he
presented a stronger contrast than
vor to the relined. delicate-handed
girl, said awkwardly (h it Miss Bostnl
would be down directly. As Nell, tak
ing no notice of this intimation, was
about to leave the room, he suddenly
found courage to place himself before
the door.
"It's done a-purpose; she done it a
purpose." he explained, growing more
rustle than usual In his speech under
pressure of his excitement, "so I might
have a chance of speaking to you."
Nell looked angry and anxious; but
ehe looked him Hi the Tace with an ex
pression which daunted him n little.
"She don't know what I want to say
to you." he went on in a hoarse whis
per. "She thinks I want to ask you
to marry me, as If I should be such n
precious fool! No, what 1 want to say
is, that the chap Hemming is still
hanging about; he's staying at the I'.cll
nt Stroan, and he's offered ine n live
pound not if I'll tell him what I told
you, and I've refused. There!"
And. fairly overwhelmed by the con
templation of his own greatness of
wild, Jem slapped his chest utid made
his eyes round.
Nell listened, with fear and repulsion
struggling In her breast. Should she
brave the man, with the knowledge
which she knew that he possessed, or
should she coniquer her own loathing
and temporize? Miss Itostal hud ad
vised her to brave hlni; but, then. Miss
Bostnl did not know what she knew.
NpII shivered ns the man came a step
toward her.
"I don't understand you." she said at
last. "What do you want?"
"I wani you to give me n kiss." The
girl started aud made a gesture of ab
horrence. "Come," persisted Jem; "it
Isn't much, considering, 'specially ns
I could take one mjelf if I had a
mind."
And ns be spoke he took another
Ftep, threatening to fnlllll this meunce.
But Nell was too ipiiek for him; she
was at the other side of the table be
fore the words were well out of his
mouth.
"Miss Bostal." she ic.Jd. quietly, na If
Ids proposition had been unworthy of
remark, "advises ine to let you make
what use of your Information you
please. She says no one would believe
you."
".nd do you think that?" he asked,
with an indescribably cunning leer.
The sudden anxiety which over
spread her face tit the iiuestlou showed
him his oppor unity.
"Look here," be went on. in a tone
which was uieaui to be persuasive, but
which was to Nell repellant In Its
coarse kssuuiptlou of familiarity, "I
don't wain in rush you into anything.
You know what I have to sell, uud you
know what the price Is. If you don't
care to pr.y It. wi 11, you know. huw
can pay myself li: coin of the realm.
Now I'll give you till to-morrow night.
If you'll see me to-morrow, down at
your own gar.i.-n I, m o, where you'll
lie ipiite sale. mind, for I mean quit,
fair at i! above board, and If yo.iil
speak to me fair ami be civil, I'll hold
my tongue, and wild h'-rivs nor ail the

pencil; but if yn il eft clioe.se to do
this, and it's a pnci'ius small thing
to make such n fuss about, why, then.
I'll go oft' to Hemming nie! get the live
pounds, and you can gin ss what'll hap
pen. If you don't know."
As the man looked ut her, with
Moodshoi. inflamed eyes, enjoying In
anticipation the kiss which "he lilt
she was bound t give, Nell's lic:i'-t
sank. He would not surely speak in
this tone to her. If the proofs of which
he had spoken were cot very strong
ones.
. "You must give me time to think,"
she faltered, turning le-r head away to
escape the gnso of the lustful eyes,
but keeping a sharp iyo on his move
ments nil the time.
She felt keen resent nit tit against
.Miss Theodora, vim, in her amiable
folly, Hud exposed her lo tin- persecu
tion. Luckily that huly herself ap
peared a few seconds inter, and tin"
Nell ai once made the excuse of going
to fetch the tea-things lo get out oi
the room.
trtuv outside the door, however, she
ran through the passage to the back of
the house, slipped out into the garden,
and r.-iit home across the fields as fast
as her licet little feet could carry li t.
"Since she liken his society so mr.eh,
she may enjoy a tete-a-tete wit li him!"
she said lo herself, not without a bit
ter feeling that her old friend and pro
tectress had betrayed her in her eag
erness to reclaim the prodigal.
Before she n ached I ho l'.iue Lion,
Nell had initio up her mind what lo
do. She felt that she must have some
advice of a more solid, more worldly
kind than that of kindly, sentiment::!,
narrow-minded Miss Theodora. So she
wrote a little note, the llrsr she had
ever sent him. to Clifford Kim;, and
sent It by a safe hand to Slroau to
catch ihe night mail.
Her note was very short, containing
as It did. only the following word.,:
"liear Mr. King:
"If It would not be too Inconvenient i
to you to conic down to St roan tu mor-
roiv, I should be Very glad of the op- i
portunity of asking your advice upon
a matter In winch I ! not dare trust ;
my own Judgment, and do Hot daie
to consult my uncle.
"With apologies for my audacity in
nsi.lng r.iuii a great favor,
"Believe me, yours sincerely,
"NKLL CLAIMS."
Then she passed a sleepless night,
torturing herself by wondering what
Jem Stlckels would do, and Whether
ClIlTin-d wouhl come this she did not
greatly doubt uud how she should tell
iilm If he came.
And on the following evening. Just
when she had given up all hope of
seeing him, and Jnt when the time
appointed by Jem Stlckels for her
to meet him was approaching, she saw
Clifford, from her seat by ihe open
door of the sitilng roniii, walk into the
bar.
Nell sprang up with a little cry, and
Clifford, catching sight of her. Hushed
a deeper red than his walk had given
him, and going quickly through the
bar and along the passage, pushed
j open the door of the little sitting-room,
I and .touil before her.
The girl had been so anxious for
his coming that all her little maidenly
I arts of affected surprise, of Indiffer
ence, of reserve, wi re in abeyance: and
he saw before hlni Ihe girl he loved,
with love confessed in her blue eyes.
For oue moment he stood looking at
her, a little awe-struck, as a lover
ought to be. at discovering how much
more lieautlful she was than he re
membered her. Then, not unnaturally
taking her numinous for Just a little
more than It was Intended to be,
caught her hi his arms, and pressing
her against his breast, covered her
face with kisses.
Nell uttered a little cry; she thought
It expressed consternation, alarm; but
Clifford rend the sound differently,
and kissed her again.
"Oh. Mr. King!" panted the girl, ftn
fooii as she could draw back her head
enough to speak, "you don't under
stand. I sent for you to advise me.

"I quite understood." replied Clif
ford, calmly, not letting her go very
tar. "And I am longing to put my pro
fessional knowledge at your service.
But lirst '
He stopped short, arrested In the
middle of his speech by u violent start
on the part of Nell, who was looking
with eyes full of aiarm at the door
which led into the maiden.
The upHT part oi' this door was of
glass, and she had suddenly perceived
that ii face was prosed to the outer
side.
"Who is it?" psketi Cliffoni. as soon
as he saw what hau arrested her at
tention. And without waiting lor an answer,
lie spnin;: across the bitle room, ,o

But ns Clifford stopped, under t'ie

sound of li 'oarsely ui it-red curse

Jem's list came tt.roui,!i .he upper part
of She door, and struck C.. IVi.nl full in
the chest.
Nell saw. even before Ihe blow was
dealt, that there .was an open knife
in the fisherman's hand. But, al
though she threw her-eif upon lc-r
lover, trying to drag him bad: from
the danger, she was nor in time. With
a howl of savage delight, Jem drew

Clifford was so entirely taiten by
j surprise that he hardly realized in Ihe
I tirsi moment that he was hurt. The
next, he dttshed open the Uoor at one
blow, and finding Jem outside coolly
wiping his knife on the ivy whit-ii

seized the fisherman by tie- throat
with one h.nid, snatched his knlfo
from him and (lung It away with Hie
other, and then hurled the man from
hlni wi.h sudi violence that the latter
fell, and striking his head upon the
stone ledge of ;1 window lay motion
less on the ground.
Then, suddenly overcome by a feel
ing of dizziness, the result of his
wound Clifford sniggered back against
the broken door and into Nell's arms.
"Oh. it Is my fault-niy fault I I
ought not to have asked you to come:''
moaned she, not attempting to hide
her affectionate concern from the peo
ple who, startled by the noise of the
affriiy, now pressed Into the room.
(Jcorge Claris was among the first
to enter, and he frowned angrily on
seeing Clifford, of whose arrival he
had not yet heard.
"So It's you, is it, Mr. King!" he ex
claimed surlily, on recognizing the
man whom he looked upon as the ori
gin of all his trouble. "And what have
you been up to now, eh?"
"Hi. uncle, uncle, can't you see that
he's hurt, badly hurt?" implored Nell.
"Send for a doctor oh. some one pray
go for a doctor, or he will bleed lo
death:"
Bui Ceorge Claris hardly concealed
the fact that that event would give
him satisfaction rather tluin aiitiny
a.iec: he did not dare to interfere,
however, when Nell gave orders to one
of the men who had crowded In, to go
to Stroan for a dot-tor.
"Who tlid it?'' somebody, not the
landlord, presently asked.

Buxom Meg exchanged many a nod
and wink ami grin with the customers
from the bar. Inspired by the titter ab
sorption Nell showed in her lover aud
his danger.
"All i u v fault my fault:" the girl
kept murmuring, as she hung over
Clifford, watching his face, which had
grown pale, with straining eyes, and
listening anxiously to the breathing.

Then Meg became abruptly con

Anil she bundled them all. with lar
wide-sweeping gestures as of a gigan

and her lover and her uncle were left
together.

somewhat louelit d. was uneasy and
suspicious.
"What was he doing down here?"'
he began, inquisitorial!', when they
were left alone. "And what was he
up to that made Jem Stickels knife
him? No good. I'll be bound," grum
bled he.
"lie loves me. uncle. lie has asked
me. Weeks ago. to be his wife, but I
hadn't even promised; no, not a word,
but when he came to-day "
"Ah, what made him come to-day?"
Nell hesitated, and then i-oufi'Micd,
in a low voice:

Ceo.-ge Claris mumbled his dissatis

Nell, simply. "And of course he had
no right to lo "
"To be jealous? So I should ha'
thought. Si 111. he win; jealous, eh?"
"I suppose so."
There was a short silence; then
(leorge Claris spoke again:

I'ulverize Ihe roil ns line ns you can
make it with drag, harrow and roller.
Mark it off four and a half feet, and
cross nr'.rk it the same, and set th"
plants with a small hoe with a short
handle. Set as deep as you can and
tamp the ground well around the
plant. One week after plants are set.
start the cultivator nr.d cultivate a-:
dose to the plants as possible. Be
careful not to bark the plaids, .is i;
will kill them to do so. If any plants
are missing, get more plants and re
plant. As soi n ns the plants begin
to branch out. do not cultivate this '

to go between the rows to clean the

I'. II. v.riies from West Virginia:
"Las: November 1 bought a tine three-year-.
iid cow and calf one-half week
old; w h -ll I b.-i iighl her home I saw
she could not nur-e le"- calf, -he kick-'.l
so 1 i.dly. I tilil not put the calf Ihe
next day to a nurse, but 1 miikeit the
cow and laugh! the calf m drink. Some
iinie last month sin' began kicking
again, and did not give ,-,s much milk
as she ought to. The more I feed her
the Jess mill; she gives, l have learned
now that she sucks her. .elf. Can Ir.
S'.nerd give a remedy for it? Sh-' is a
tine c iv and will make a good milker."
A:wer: Tin-re js a qiiesiiou as :-i
ihe cause of her kicking. It. as a
and
rule. Is caused by harsh milking
.1 whole lot of people, 1 regret to say,
have never ! arued to milk a cow wi,h
comfort to th,- cow: and the result is
she resents I; by kicking. It Is possi
ble Jim may hart this cow when you
attempt to milk her. Again, there are
cows I hat object in being milked by
nic'.i. In cases of thai kind, le; Kind
ness be the prime factor in treating
her and never try the boot and milk
ing stool for a curry comb; but curry
her by gentle hand strokes and give her
a bit of wheat bran or some other foci
siie may relish. If sh then res-tit-,
keep con!. Broeure a half Inch rope
an I put it around her body just for
ward of tl.e miller, draw It tightly and
tie with a single bow knot and she will
not lift a foot to kick. But do this
kindly, and when taken off pet her and
siie will nine times out of ten soon love
to have you milk her ins. cad of dread
ing your presence.
Seocnd. As regards her sucking her-s'-if;
you are not certain of thai. I lhe.k.
You can. however, tell hy ihe npi.cr.r
u'toe of her teats. Many m-lho.ls can
be . ed to prevent cows doi'ig this.
