Hilda, am I dreaming? Shall I really return to Bay n< ham, and take with me my wife and child?” It was an evening of unclouded happiness. “I shall not return to Grosvenor Square without my treasures,” said Lord Bayneham. resolutely. “Had you not better prepare Lady Bayneham and Miss Earle for the surprise?” suggested Mrs. Massey. “No,” replied Tx>rd Bayneham; “I dare not trust Hilda from my sight again. Th y must return with me. It can be easily managed; there are no servants in the London house who know anything of the sorrow we have suffered, or its cause. Those with us will think that, as 1 have been absent the greater part of the day, 1 b.nvn boon tn fetch their lady home.” “It is so sudden,” said Mrs. Massey; “our house will have lost its sunshine.” “Think how long mine has been in darkness.” replied Lord Bayneham. “I must take Hilda and Lionel with me. 1 could not leave them, and my mother must share my happiness. My poor mother—her hair is whitened with sorrow—and Barbara Earle have never ceased to grieve.” Then Hilda drew near her husband, and whispered something about her fear and dread at seeing the countess again. “Hilda,” said Lord Bayneham, “my mother blamed herself most bitterly for Dot having loved you more. She knows all your story, and. believe me, who never spoke falsely to you, she loves you the better for it.” The farewell was not taken without many tears. In the midst of her happiness, Eady Hilda sorrowed at leaving the friends who Lad been so kind to her. Every one in the house was grieved at losing the beautiful, gentle lady and her child; but Lionel was too happy with bis new papa to care for anything else. Lord Bayneham and his fairy young wife, with the little child, drove home in the calm of the sweet spring evening. Never to them had the stars shone so brightly; never had the soft breeze told a sweeter story; never was spring evening so bob’, so happy as this. CHAPTER XXXIX. Lady Bayneham and Miss Earl sat alone in the drawing-room in Grosvenor Square. The clock had already chimed ten, and Lord Bayneham had said he should not be late. “If you are tired, aunt,” said Miss Earl, “I will wait for Claude —he will not be long.” “I prefer waiting,” said Lady bayneham. “My boy’s face was brighter when he left home than I have seen it for many years. I am waiting, hoping to see that bright look again.' It was not long before the roll of a carriage was heard, and the loud knock that resounded through the house assured th ■ countess of her son’s return. She rose from her seat to greet him. His face as he entered the room, struck her with amazement. “What is it, Claude? she asked. ny do you look so? Have you good news. “i have brought friends home with me, mother,*’ he said; “and I want you to welcome them.” ‘•That I will,” said Lady Bayneham; “who are they ? _ -A lady and a little boy, he replied, and his mother noticed h.»w his voice ialtered over the words. “A lady ind a little boy! sheechoed, in amazement.

. Then came eager and hurried explana- , tions. Lord Bayneham told eloquently I the story of Captain Massey's generous ' aud noble conduct, and Barbara Earle’s eyes grew dim with tears. This man, | who in the darkest hour of Lady Hilda’s life had come to her rescue, was the one j who had hopelessly loved her long years Long after midnight they sat. unwilling i to end that happy meeting, and the goldi en-haired child slept in his father’s arms, for Lord Bayneham could not endure to I part with him. They agreed that every explanation should lie made then, and Lady Hilda related the history of her parents. Lord Bayneham told of Stephen Hurst's death, ami then the whole subject was to be banished forever, lu Lady Bayneham's heart the last remnant of pride had died j out. She forgot her prejudices, and felt i nothing but proud happiness when she gazed upon her son’s beautiful wife and I his noble little heir. **«*•« « Three days afterward the May sun sl»>m- upon a beautiful scene enacted at Bayneham. The lord of the Castle, with his wife and son, was returning home, it was su’d, from a foreign tour. Tri- | uinplwi lurches were everywhere erected. “Welcome to Bayneham!” “Welcome Home!” met the eye at every turn; Hags j and banners waved among the trees; and through the sweet, fragrant air, came , the distant chiming of the joy -bells. The sky was blue, the flowers w ere all blooming, birds singing, the suu shining—there was no fairer scene on earth than that. I Crowds of expectant tenants and servants assembled; and when the carriages i came at length into sight a cheer arose i from all, that made t; e very welkin ring. “There i> my lord—that is my lady—aud see the viscount!" was heard on all sides. Lord Bayneham's face wore a reverent, almost awe-struck expression. "How shall we best deserve all this happiness, Hilda?” he said. “I feel unworthy of it. Heaven help me to do my ; best!” In the second carriage Lady Bayneham sat with Barbara Earle and Bertie Carlyon. There were cheers for her, for Barbara was loved by those who served her. It was a pleasant sight, when the carriages drove away, to see the young earl and his beautiful wife standing under [ the broad Gothic porch of their old home. ' People afterward said that Lady Hilda’s face was bright as a sunbeam. Lord Bayneham stood, holding her hand in ; his, while he, in a few graceful words, I thanked the crowd around him for their i hearty welcome. There was a cheer for , 1 the gallant earl, and one for his fair ’ I wife. Then Lord Bayneham. raising the ' j child in his arms, called for another I cheer for his son, the heir of Bayneham. « ; Not one word could Bertie contrive to i speak that evening to Miss Earle. The ! Castle was full of guests—there was no ' chance: but when the brilliant evening i ended, he contrived to whisper, as he bade her good-night, "Barbara, lias my i penance ended?" Miss Earle smiled, but made no reply. ■ She was, however, down early the next I morning, and for all ornament wore a . string of costly pearls, to which was i fastened a small golden apple. Bertie’s \ face was a study when he saw it, and then Lord Bayneham interfered. “The marriage," he said, "shall be delayed no longer.” Before the June roses hail ceased to bloom, Barbara Earle became Bertie Carlyon's wife. Bertie Carlyon's name was known all over England. He became one of the leading statesmen of the day; and when men congratulated him on his success, he would turn with grateful eyes to the noble woman by his side, ami thank her for it. Lady Bayneham recovered her health and spirits, and her own mother could not have been more tender to Hilda than was the proud countess. The last news discussed at Bayneham was the marriage of Captain Massey. He met Miss Deverney, and to his mother’s intense delight, at once fell in love with her. They arc very happy, and never omit once every year, to pay a visit to Bayneham. One beautiful morning in June. Lord j Bayneham asked his wife to accompany I him on a little stroll. Lionel ran before j them, and a sweet, fair-faced girl, whom her mother called Magdalen, walked by het side. “Where are we going?” asked Lady Hilda. "Patience,” replied her husband, “you will soon see.” They went through the park, where the wind whispered among the tall trees, and birds sung sweetly in their shady depths, and into the bi&h road, past the Firs cottage, and into the little church-yard, where Lady Hilda had once stood with despair in her heart. Lord Bayneham took his wife’s hand, and led her to what was once a nameless grave. “There stood a costly monument of white marble, with this inscription: “SACKED “To the Memory of Magdalen Hurst. “Through many tribulations she has gone to rest.” “Hilda,” said Lord Bayneham, “my mother erected this. I brought you here by her wish. Tell me now, have you one cloud in the sky ?” “Not one,” she replied, raising her beautiful face to the clear morning sky. “Heaven is good to me. I will try to deserve it.” The sun that shone nnotl the quiet grave and the waving trees, upon the true, noble husband and the fair, blooming children, was not more bright than the future that lay before Lady Hutton's ward.

FACTS FOR FARMERS. HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS FOR THE AGRICULTURISTS. A Veterinarian’s Practical Means of Preventing Tuberculosis—Arrangement tor Tying Celery for the Mar-ket-Wagon for Hauling Corn Fodder To Prevent Tuberculosis. Introduce a consumptive cow into a herd, and the animal on each side of her in the common stanchions, shown In Fig. 1, will be Infected from her breath and spit. Put a board partition on each side of the diseased cow, extending well out in front, and it will be long before she contaminates her neighbors, if she ever does. Exhaustive tests in Denmark, extending over two years, with 208 head, show that “it is possible to rear a healthy herd on l farm where there is an infected nerd if the two are separated by a FIO. 1. UNHEALTHY TIE-UP FOB COWS. wooden partition, and this will prove successful, even when the calves from diseased cows are raised.” G. N. Kinnell, a Pittsfield veterinarian, therefore advocates individual stalls for each cow, by simply running a partition between the stanchions, boarded up in front, with a ventilating shaft eighteen inches square over each cow's head, four or six of them to join in a common shaft running through the roof. (Fig. 2 shows such partition not boarded up in front, the advisability of which we question.) He mentions a herd that escaped infection from two badly diseased cows because the sick

Dr. Kinnell wisely considers some sueh method of separating cows the most Important, simplest and cheapest means of avoiding infection. The germ of tuberculosis dies in sunlight, hence a stable cannot be too light and airy.—Orange Judd Farmer. Windbreaks. In every long-settled locality where the soil is sandy, farmers quickly learn, after the original forest is cleared away, to plant windbreaks to protect their soil from blowing away. Such windbreaks do good which more than offsets the waste of the laud which they occupy. Not only is soil blown away after being plowed, but during the summer there are frequent violent sand storms where the winds have full sweep, which uucover seeds and plants or blow sand against the foliage of plants, cutting and spoiling it. These windbreaks serve another important purpose in winter in keeping the snow evenly spread over the fields. They should be of evergreen wherever possible, so as to make a protection for winter as well as for the summer seaion. American Cultivator. Tying Celery for Market* Novices do not always bunch celery properly. An old grower of celery near Buffalo, N. Y., bunches his crop as follows: Two bricks are set up edgeCELERY BUNCHER. wise and two strings laid crosswise. Two neatly trimmed stalks are squeezed in tightly between the bricks, two more squeezed in on those and two more on top, making six heads in the bunch. All are then tied tightly with the strings. Timothy vs. Clover. We are not wholly averse to a small amount of timothy sown with clover, but we are against giving th< timothy the preference, for we see object lessons continually - verse to the latter practice. Farms are not improved by it. On the other hand, says the New England Farmer, when clover is given the preference, the farms are growing better. The only pastures with us that show green In quantity to delight the eye of the farmer are those partly or wholly clover, and the clover is now best that was not allowed to perfect a growth early in the season. One Acre in liens. It is a progressive farmer who can succeed in making one acre support a cow, and he is then perfectly satisfied with a profit of $?0 from her. If an acre of land cam be made to yield any kind of crop that will pay a profit of SSO, the success attending such a result will be considered worthy of notice. Profit means, of course, all that portion of the gross receipts which remains after the full expenses are paid,

and a profit of SSO an acre is v ery large. It is easy to figure (on paper) the possibilities of an acre of land, but there are facts abundant to demonstrate that s’>o is but a small sum to derive from one acre of land devoted to poultry. It is rare to find a case where a large flock of poultry has been given the space of one acre that the hens did not pay well, although due credit is not always allowed for the “home” market, which calls for poultry and eggs, accounts not being kept with the family table. Horse Beef. At present the German butchers pay from $45 to SSO for horses; but already the demand is beginning to Increase the price. Mr. Tingle, in Farm News, advises the American farmer to go into the business of raising horses to supply the German food market He says they can be raised cheaper than cattle, and can be more easily shipped across the water. As American beef and pork are excluded from the German markets, he recommends that the place of the two products be filled with horse meat Last fall horses sold at auction in Nebraska at from $5 to $lO each. The short crops had something to do with the low price; but the falling off in the demand for horses, by reason of the introduction of electricity as a motor, the bicycle and other causes, had far more to do with fixing the price. It is doubtful If the prejudice against the use of horseflesh as food in this country will ever be wholly overcome, and the Germans can eat our surplus horses while we keep aud consume our beef and pork. There is no sanitary reason why horseflesh should not be used for food; as the horse eats the same things that the ox does, and Is, if any difference, more dainty about what he eats. It is simply a prejudice, that is largely sentimental, and founded on the belief that the horse is intended for better things than to become food. Care of Figs. Profitable swine breeding depends upon the time at which the hogs are slaughtered in order to secure the highest market prices. Thus, the time of farrowing must almost of necessity be so arranged that a part of them at least be dropp d in cold and frosty weather. Thai one has a moderately warm pen is not enough; the run for tie sow must be in a temperature which is evenly warm all of the time, and this, I-mean, controlled by animal heat enough to Insure no frost. Out of the forty pigs which we have had the past winter, twenty of them were dropped in January, and all did well and to-day are the finest lot we ever had, says C. H. Whitcomb in The Stockman. They are on heavy grass pasture, and will remain so until our peas are ready to turn into. Having pigs farrowed in this way gives us an opportunity to take advantage of both the early markets. Then, too, we must let nature have her way in the feeding of young pigs. 'While growing feed wholly on bone and muscle making foods, and the pigs will have no stopoffs. For Handling Bulky Forage. In handling grain, hay or green corn fodder, a low rack, similar to the one shown In the illustration, is a great saver of time and labor. One man standing on the ground and simply drawing the corn toward himself can lay it upon the table of the cutting machine without stopping, or raising it up simply to lay it down again. The top of th' rack is 7x14 feet with sixfoot standards. The stringers are 4x6 Inches. 19 to 20 feet long. They are hung from the front axle by means of a lengthened king bolt provided with a nut and washer. From the hind axle they are suspended by %-inch rods with nuts and washers below and hocks above to go over the axle. The stringers should be twenty inches apart in front and tnirty-two inches behind. A short wrench keeps the hound from tipping up. I find this rack very convenient. As short a turn can be made with this as with a six-teen-foot rack.—American Agriculturist. All-Round Cattle. The cry is nowadays: “Give us the good all-round animal.” The Country Gentleman thinks there is an element of error in this. Carry out this idea to an extreme, and you blot out the distinctive characteristics of every breed of animals existing. No one animal can do everything best. As In the meehanlcal, so In the animal world—there must be a division of labor. We owe all the improvement of the present day in all classes of domestic live stock to special breeding for a definite purpose. Let the breeder of the race horse try to combine the strength of the Clydesdale or Shire with the speed of h!s thoroughbred, and the result is an increase of strength, but a reduction of speed. Grapes and Electricity. French scientists are reported to be farming by lightning. They found that electricity quickens germination and growth, so they set up poles armed at the top with copper spikes to draw electricity from the air. A wire conveys it to < pet-work ofgalvanized Iron wire four to six feet below the growing crops, and grapes are said to grow 50 per cent, larger and contain more of what grapes are raised for. Raw Engs for Scours. Raw eggs, says the Orange Judd Farmer, are a cure for scours in calves. Prevention is better than cure, and by good judgment and intelligence the disease may be prevented. But if the disease develops give the calf one or two raw eggs, shells and all. Repeat if necessary.

The water passes through the tube, strikes the fan, is thrown in a sheet on the brush, which spreads it over the window. When used in rinsing the brush is simply held away from the window, giving a stream of clear water. The handle is adapted for store, office, residence and railroad car w ashing. Some Palatable Sweet Pickice. Use for these the rind of a good-sized watermelon, writes Florence Barrett in an article on “Pickles, Sweet and Sour,” in the Ladies' Home Journal. Pare and cut into thick slices. Boil one ounce of alum in a gallon of water and pour over the sliced melon, letting it stand on the back of the stove for half a day. Remove from the alum water and let if lie in cold water until cold; drain. Have ready a quart of vinegar, three pounds of brow n sugar, an ounce of stick cinnamon and half an ounce of cloves. Boil sugar and vinegar; strain, add the spices and rind, and boil until the rind is soft. For peaches and pears use the same proportions of vinegar and sugar, but not quite so much of spice. Canned Red Raspberries. Look over the raspberries and currants, removing the bad ones, and weigh them separately without washing Allow half a pound of granulated sugar to half a pound of raspberries and half a pound of currants. Squeeze the currants, without stemming or washing, through a cloth. Mix the sugar and the currant-juice together in the kettle; wash, a-nd put in raspberries. Gradually heat through on back part of stove, then bring forward and boil for five minutes very slowly, to avoid breaking the raspberries. Have the jars thoroughly heated, till to overflowing, and seal as quickly as possible. Soup Crecy. Take three good-sized carrots, scrape and cut into small dice. Cook in boiling salted water two hours. Press through a strainer, put into a double boiler three cupfuls of milk, one tablespoonful of chopped onion, one-half saltspoonful celery salt, one of salt, onehalf saltspoonful white pepper, boil five minutes, then pour over the grated carrot. Put all through a fine puree sieve and return to the double boiler. Blend smoothly one tablespoonful flour with a little cold water, add to the soup and stir until it thickens. Serve with croutons. Fried Cucumbers. Fried cucumbers are considered a great delicacy by many persons, and they have the advantage of being more wholesome than when served raw. Tare the cucumber and lay in ice water half an hour. Cut lengthwise into slices nearly half an inch thick and lay in ice water ten minutes longer. Wipe each piece dry with a soft cloth, sprinkle vith pepper and salt and dredge with flour. Fry to a delicate brown in sweet clarified dripping, good lard or butter. Pickled Plums. Seven pounds of plums, four pounds of sugar, two ounces of stick cinnamon, two ounces of cloves, one quart of vinegar and a little ground mace. Fill a jar with alternate layers of plums and spices and pour over the mass the boiling vinegar and sugar. Repeat the process three times, then scald the whole together and put in glass jars. Huckleberry Fritters. Mix a pint of prepared flour with a pint of milk and stir in two well-beaten eggs and half a pint of huckleberries, washed and drained and dredged with flour. Bake on a griddle well greased with butter and serve as soon as cooked. Hints to Housewives. Slamming the door of the oven will make cake fall. Castor oil is the best thing with which to soften leather. In curling leather with steel it should be remembered that only the blunt side of the instrument should be used. Did you ever try dipping a fish into boiling water for a minute before scaling it? The result is generally satisfactory. Mink may be cleaned and freshened with warm corn meal and, as this is a short-haired fur, without removing the lining. Blunging macaroni for a single minute in a bath of cold water after it has been cooked tender in oiling salted water prevents it being “pasty." A couple of sheets of a big newspaper wrapped about ice will keep it half as long again as ice that is uncovered. The paper is much more cleanly than a piece of blanket, as it can be removed dally.
