Mr. Carslake was astonisneu; ne u rather shocked, too, and he looked it. "Oh ves," exclaimed Madge, "you are horriri'ed, I see. You think the mere fact of a person being one's sister ought to

The pair were standing face to face, Madge talking herself angry, Mr. Carslake preserving his scandalized expression, 'Tray whv do you think she is a sweet woman?" asked the young lady, slightly raisiig her voice and looking at him with rather an aggressive flash in her eyes. Mr. Carslake's face relaxed into a ""'Well, really," he remnrked, "she

Her ladyship tried to maneuver to leave Madge mid her lover together, and Dallas was fain to second her, but Madge

They had to pass the rectory on the wt.y back, and Madge insisted on wishing them good-by and going home, tone lieinir exceedingly vexed with her.
did not press her very eagerly to return to the Hall.
Mr. Carslake uttered not a word, t'ailas was the only oue who made any effort to shake her resolve. The willful yoWis lady passed u very unpleasant evcuing and night with her own reflections. She bail overacted her part had vexed and hurt the kindest, dearest, best man that ever lived; she would like to throw herself at his feet and beg his forgiveness; (she began to despise her own cleverness, and felt quite oriteful against Uallas for having lent himself to lie her tool. Never iniud! all should he changed on the morrow. She would make the hrudsomest of amendes, and would never, ucver behave so badly again. , , The next morning her eyes unclosed on ini--Ktniiied landscape: the rain wi.s

to have gone up to the Hall the instant after breakfast, but the weather made it

slight cessation of the downpour ami sirmade a valiant start. Down came t! ' r:i u again, but nothing daunted, she pursi -A her way and arrived dripping with wet nt her destination. Juue met her in the hall and beckoued her into Tom's room. "Now." said her ladyship, with quite unaccustomed severity, "I hope you are happy." "I'm not at all happy." answered Madge, rather flippantly. "I feel like a drowned rat." "Mr. Carslake," proceeded June, t;io
much displeased to offer, with her usual hospiialitv, to assist her cousin in her uncomfortable plight "Mr. Carslake left twenty minutes ago. And it is quite cer
tain that you will never see any more ot him." Madge turned ghastly white. "Gone!" she stammered. "Yes. gone, lie made some bald pretest about a letter he had received. I tit 1 have since ascertained thnt no letter came for him this morning." Madge Hung herself into a chair and i,i.,l us if her heart would break. Ii r
case wns hopeless. He bad not asked her In marry hira, though she had felt certain be meant to; there had been mi quarrel between them that would admit of her writing to explain or to ask 'or explanations. She felt that she had been too clever and nnd outwitted herself and broken her own heart.

CHAPTEIt XX. The year was waning, Christmas not a great way off. Sir Thomas and Lady Nevil had sp--nt
two months at their nurt hem place in entertaining a succession of shooting tarties. June had enjoyed this immensely:
she had, no doubt, a great love ol pic .inure and excitement. Madge had been a guest the greater part of the time. She was not the same willful, mirthful, mischievous creature that we have hitherto known her. No need to check the exuls-raiice of her srils now. She laughs ami talks; ..titw.irrllj she docs not give any particular imp:vssion of wearing the willow, but, a inat;er of fuel, she is desperately unhappy.

that cattle are scarce. Mlus fact is ieaalng a number of cattlemen to go long distances to make purchases, as it is generally conceded that there is money in feeding. From Mexico there comes u deficiency of nearly 50 per cent in the number shipped through Colorado to Nehraskan and Kansas feeders and the total
receipts of New .Mexico aiso inn tar nuon of the customary. This failing off cf cattle passing through Colorado is in occord
with the gross ngures ior me ihi States, which are as follows: In April,
1807, 73.480 cattle passed across tne aicxIcan border into the United States, ani the same month this year showed 35,1.". For the first four months of last year
there were 100.B4!) received, aim tor ine corresponding mouths this yar there were 7'-.'!39. a less uuniher thou came In during April, lt07. The reason assigned
for this vears shortage is iu.ni. iasi year

are holding to their anuunis ia anticipation of a rise in prices, which it is predicted is certain in view of the war.
