(Continued.) I looked him straight In tne eye. "If you are proing to be mysterious, I shall get up and smash the furniture," "You pro7iiincl not to describe Sibyl, ttlUH't youf" said I. "Never again shall I be able to endure the quality of mystery in a human being." "Why, what do you mean?" he asked, astonished. "I thought you had found this little game of Sibyl's quite amusing. If you knew her better . Really, you mustn't allow this to prejudice you against her. The fault is all mine. My wooden stupidity in writing such letters to you about her" "I am not speaking of either of you," said I. "There is a, heaven sent boy upon this place whose works were in my mind when I condemned all mysteries. And this brings me easily to my confession. In New York I met a very charming young woman named Anna Lamoine" "It seems to me that I have heard of her," said my father. "She carried me completely off my feet," I continued. "I cannot blame myself; surely not her. The best man in the world might be proud to kneel at her feet. The most exacting could not accuse her of spreading a snare. Yet there is inwoven In the bright and beautiful fabric of her character a very strange thread. She has a perfect intuition, and, to speak outright, she impressed me as being able to read fine print pasted on the back of my coat when she was standing in front of me. I have no doubt that all her ways were honest and her powers genuine. Really, I think I was in love with her." "You were?" said he anxiously. "She has a brother named Jimmy," said I, "and he is spending the summer here. That boy is the most remarkable natural caricature that ever existed. He pretends to know everything. He perverts all his. sister's pretty ways into the most arrant and transparent trickery. I am not such a donkey as to suppose that there is the faintest similarity between their inner natures, but I am not strong enough to bear the superficial resemblance. It is idle to suppose that she could ever have cared for me. but now I can never care for her. That's the story in a nutshell." My father developed a liking for pedestrian exercise and walked several times around my center table. "This Is very remarkable," he said. "I hardly know what to say about It." "There Is really nothing that can be said," I rejoined. "It has happened. It is all In the past tense. Let us speak of something else." "Wnat, for instance?" he asked, resuming his seat. "There Is a young man named Trask here," said I, and my father frowned slightly. "He seems to me to be a very good fellow, and I think that he and Sibyl love each other." "Why, what can you possibly know about that?" he demanded. "The man has not said so, has he?" "Never, but I have seen them together." "I don't see how that is possible," said he. "It is true that Sibyl has told me almost nothing of what she has done. She has begged me not to ask her. And yet I understood'' "That she had not come up to the house." said I when he paused. "Let me ask you a question straight from the shoulder. Is there a Miss Jones, a real one?" "Certainly," he answered. "Miss Jones is not Sibyl, if that's what you mean." "And you say that Miss Jones is not beautiful?" "Not to my eye." So I had been essentially right without fully understanding. It was Sibyl whom 1 had seen as Miss Jones, but meanwhile the real one was dwelling in the orchard. Blessed heaven, could It be she that sang, she whom Scovel had seen ? It must be remembered that In all this doubt and confusion there was one sure reality the voice of the singer. Some one possessed it. There was a girl upon earth and -near to me at that moment who could sway my soul with song as no one else had ever done, as no other mortal creature ever would. Suppose she were a girl my father did not like, a rirj. the rrht c whoa had

it 01

Hy ... Hot&ard Fielding -v v - v ' driven poor Scovel back to work at 'the beginning of hot weather. It was a horror to make a jest of since in no other way might it be borne. "You are not favorably impressed with Mr. Trask?" said I to give my mind the relief of a changed theme. "I will speak frankly," he replied. "I know little against him except that he is selfish and fickle. He is handsome and extraordinarily attractive to women, and he has gone his way ruthlessly, as I have been told, avoiding open dishonor, but leaving many a sore heart beside the path. I do not like that kind of a man." "There is one sore heart here because of him,'' said I, "and I tell you earnestly that the case is pitiable. I would have spoken of the matter even if it had not come tip in this way. because I want your advice. The girl is a niece of Mrs. Witherspoon, without means and something of a drudge here, I'm afraid, in a polite way. Trask has persuaded her to sit for him and Sibj-1 while they were sketching and has kept her a good deal in his company, I should judge. I have no suspicion that he has ever deliberately entered into a flirtation with her, but you know his way." "Yes," said my father, "I know it." What would he say if I should tell him of the scene that I had witnessed between Trask and Sibyl? Better not mention it until I should be more sure of my ground. "Poor little Lucy Ann Witherspoon," said I, "is likely to suffer bitterly. I wish we could do something for her. She ought to go away. She is an educated girl ami fit for better things than to be a slave to her aunt. If Sibyl could come to know her well" "Does she know her at all?" he asked, foreseeing what I would have suggested. "Why, of course," said I. "Did I not say that Sibyl and Trask made a model of her?" "I don't think you ever saw Sibyl and Trask together," he rejoined. "I understood that no man" He paused. "That no man went down to the orchard," said I, completing his sentence. "However, I know very well that Sibyl comes to the house." "You are mistaken." said he. "Wait!" I cried, rummaging in my desk for the print that I had brought with me from our house. "Who is that?" "Where did you get this thing?" he exclaimed. "You haven't the other half of it? Well, well. This is extraordinary. I really ought not to tell you" "It is not necessary," said I. "As you have spoken of the other half of it of course I can't help knowing that it was originally a portrait of two girls. The other was Sibyl. This is Miss Jones." "I may as well admit that it is," said my father. "This young lady I have seen," said I, "and for many reasons I have be lieved her to be Sibyl." "She isn't," he rejoined. "Make your ! mind easy on that point." I "Then Sibyl has stuck to the orchard?" "To the best of my knowledge and belief she has," said he. "At any rate, if she has come up to the house you haven't seen her here. But I'm telling everything. It is just what might have been expected of me. Really, you mustn't cross question me any more." I laughed. "We will return to Miss Witherspoon," said I. "She is a great little girl, and it's a shame that she should suffer.' What can we do?" "If I had only seen her" he began. "I wonder that you didn't," said I. "She usually attends to the feeding of the prisoners in the orchard." "You don't mean the girl that brought, down the luncheon?" he exclaimed. And then he flushed to the line of his silver hair. "So you lunched with Sibyl today?" said I. "Well, I knew it before, or, at least, I knew that you were there. So. don't worry about the revelation." "What did you say her name was?" he asked. "Lucy Ann? That's the girl. I remember" "Hearing Sibyl speak the name?" "Yes," said he. "You drag everything out of me. She was a very neat and nice appearing girl, and I must say that she seemed cheerful enough. Y'ou are sure you're not pitying her needlessly?" I convinced him that I was not deceived, and we spent considerable time devising plans to help this poor child bear her burden. There was nothing else for us to do. If the Miss Jones whom I knew was not Sibyl, my reason for summoning my father to a conference had vanished, but I was very glad that he had come, not only because of the pleasure it gave me to see him, but on Lucy Ann's account. If she were not the better for his sympathy, she would be the first that ever saw it fail. He coidd be with me only for a night. We had an early breakfast next morning, and then he rode with Jimmy to St. Jo. During the forenoon I bad a little chat with Lucy Ann In the main porch. Her own affairs did not become the subject of our talk. ,but she touched

closely upon mine at one point, it may have been the sight of Jimmy driving back from town that brought the matter to her mind. "His sister's coming In a day or two," said she. "I think you said that you'd met her." "Coming here?" I exclaimed. She stared at me with her pretty gray eyes opened very wide. "Why not?" she asked. Naturally I could give no explanation. "She's been here before," said Lucy Ann, finding that I did not intend to speak. "We shall all be glad to see her, all, including my aunt and uncle, the north tree, the big east tree, the little east tree and you." "Why do you think I shall be particularly pleased?" I inquired. "Because it has been so dull for you here," she replied. "You've been so much alone. I have tried to cheer you up, and Jimmy has done his best" "Yes," said I; "Jimmy lias done his best. I am deeply indebted to him. But you can't have known that." "I know you don't like him," said she, and at that moment her aunt called to her from within the house.

CHAPTER XIV. WHAT I AIUJIIT HAVE GUESSED. ibiuu.M.Mji to my room, 1 met Derringer in the hall, and it fM-rrxH miucu uie mat iit wouju iiKe known the young lady in New York. "Lucy Ann tells me that Miss Lamoiue is coming," said I. He was taken by surprise, but he recovered in a moment. "Coming?" he echoed. "She's here." I had just opened 1113- door. He passed me and r niered the room. "Here?" I exclaimed. "Why. it wasn't two minutes ago that Lucy Ann told me" "Never mind what Lucy Ann told you." said he. "She and your friend Jimmy are merely two wheels in the machinery. Listen to me. and you will learn that Miss Lamoine was here before you or I came." I looked closely at him to make sure that he was not the victim of a half digested idea. His manner was completely satisfying. "It is inconceivable to me," said he, "that you should not have recognized her." "I haven't seen her." "You have not met her face to face," he rejoined, "but you have seen her. I was on the point of telling you the other day when you were writing to your father, but for certain reasons I thought best to wait. In one particular I was not quite sure of my ground." "Derringer," said I, walking up to him and laying a hand upon his arm, "you don't mean to tell me that Miss Lamoine is the girl in the orchard?" "How can you doubt it?" he returned. "I recognized her almost immediately." "I can't believe it. Why, the girl is a blond." "How do you know? Did you ever see her head? I mean, have you seen it here? Doesn't she always hide behind an umbrella?" "It's her clothes," I protested. "She wears colors befitting the blond com plexion. I'm an ignoramus in such matters, but there are a few little hints that a fellow can't help getting. Still, you know her better than I do. I never saw her except in New York." "Nor I," answered he. "My acquaintance is only a few days longer than yours. But it mattered more, perhaps." "Derringer," said I, "this thing has come to a point where we must speak straight out. Sentimental confidences between men are painful absurdities, as a rule, but we seem to have acquired the habit. Is it possible that Miss Lamoine is the girl you mentioned to me when we first met here?" "I will answer -yes," he replied, "though the main fact of the whole matter remains still to be stated. From the moment when I met the young lady, at Cushing's house, I had bnt one wish or hope in the world. Such things do happen, you know." "I am the last man to express a doubt of it," said I. "Yet I think I was not hurt so badly as you were." "I wasn't hurt," he replied. "Do you Imagine that I regret It? No, sir. I am twice the man I was before, for any useful purpose in this world. Do you think I have come out here to pine away and die? Far from it, my friend. I came to get a bit of a grip on myself, and I've got it, and now I'm going back among the workers to show what I can do for the love of a woman who is worth it." "My dear fellow," said I, "why go back so soon? Upon my word, you amaze me. If I ever saw a man who didn't look like a 'quitter,' you're the individual. How can you give up like this? As I understand it, you haven't given the lady half a chance. You have had no refusal." "She needs no question," said he sadly. "You have met her. Tell me, is it necessary to speak a word to her? Does not she see straight into your heart as easily as I look out of that open wiudow?" "I used to think so," said I. "but now, to be frank with you, I have my doubts. She has an innocent delight in- mystification. It pleases her to play pretty tricks. Have you observed her brother?" Derringer smiled a strange, sad smile. "She hasn't any brother," he said. I was pac'ng the floor and had passed him. Turning quickly at this speech of his, I looked beyond him through the window, and there stood Jimmy Lamoine on the driveway. Without replying in words I pointed to the boy. Derringer's eyes rested for a moment irppn James arid then met mine.

(To be continued.)

HINTS FOR FARMERS Live Stock Farming:. Regarding the value of live stock farming as compared with the growing and selling of grain, Professor L. II. Pammel of the Iowa agricultural college says: "It has been demonstrated both by experience and practice that the farmer who sells beef, pork and mutton that he has produced from the . corn and grass raised .and fed on the farm makes more money per acre than the one who grows only wheat or corn or cotton and sells It. "It is not necessary to entirely discontinue raising these crops, but If we are to produce a surplus to be sold In foreign markets it is best to export that surplus in the most condensed and marketable form, as meat and animal products, rather than In the original crude and bulky state. "In the long run the farmer will make the most money who devotes his fields to the growing of forage crops to feed stock, making use of all the raw products at home, thereby saving not only much of the cost of transportation, but maintaining the fertility of the soil. liy doing so corn belt farmers will maintain their pre-eminence in agricultural lines. "Experience in the past few months has shown that the men who stuck to feeding and were not tempted by high prices to sell their corn have made the most money. Anything that will enhance the productive capacity of our -soils for the production of forage conditions will help the farmer."

IIan11Inar Mann re. One hundred head of average cattle properly cared lor during a five months' winter will produce from 500 to 1,000 tons of farmyard manure, worth on the average $1.50 per ton for the fertilization of succeeding crops, states T. Lawson in the Rural World. There is no soil so rich that the farmyard manure will not increase the 3-ield and quality of the crop and no soil so poor that a liberal application of this fertilizer will not be followed by satisfactory results. Fifteen to twenty tons to the acre of properly prepared farmyard manure as a top dressing to a wornout hay meadow will double or treble its" previous product, and the increase is apparent for years. Its value for fertilizing purposes largely depends on its constituents, its methods of preparation and the condition In which it is applied. The solid portion of excreta of cattle has comparatively little value as a fertilizer unless these are being fattened on a liberal nitrogenous ration, such as cottonseed meal, when a liberal percentage is liable to be unassimilated and pass through, giving it a value as a fertilizer, but in young cattle and milk stock the assimilation is usually such as to leave the solid excreta only inert organic matter. The liquid portion, or urine, contains the waste of the tissues in the form of urates and salts, which, stored in a suitable vehicle and allowed to ferment and undergo a chemical decomposition, make a very rich and effective fertilizer. The Modern Way Wltn Corn. The practice of northern and western farmers in cutting their corn in field is due to their desire to utilize the fodder grown with the corn. This they do in the most economical manner by using a machine for cutting and harvesting the crop. Sixty per cent of the feed value of the corn crop is in the ear, 40 per cent in the stalk and leaf. By the western method of saving corn the live stock eat all but 10 per cent of the crop grown, which is represented in refuse bits of stalk too coarse to be eaten. The corn crop 01 the west is a success because it is handled with machinery and every part of the crop fully utilized. We of the southwest will never grow corn largely until we adopt the? machine methods of production, as only a limited amount of fodder or corn blades can be saved by the old antebellum system of "fodder pulling." Dallas (Tex.) Farm and Ranch. Learn Practical Work. Each farm is a local problem, and each farmer must be more or less of an experimenter. Farm boys of Illinois are always very much interested in corn. There arc over 5,000 boys and girls In the state who raise corn to compete in the corn growing contests at their county farmers institutes, and this competition has led them to think of something besides the prizes they hope to win. Every one of them has learned something as to why and how plants grow and why some plants, like some men. thrive and prosper better than others. Careful attention to every detail in the growing and harvesting of a plat of corn is suggestive and enables a boy to discover much for himself. Farmers Advocate. . Spraying Nozzles. The importance of a good nozzle for spraying is emphasized by Professor II.. II. Lamson in a recent bulletin of the New Hampshire experiment station. A nozzle should break the stream of liquid into fine particles and should be so constructed that it does not readily clog. It should also be provided with some device for clearing in case clogging occurs. Not enough hose is furnished by pump manufacturers. Fifteen or twenty feet is the least that can be used with convenience in spraying potatoes and fruit trees, and a fifty foot length is recommended. American Agriculturist. Scientific Manuring. In manuring the nature and composition of the soil have to be taken into account. Thus clays derived from potash feldspar would not need potash manuring, while many sandy soils would, on the contrary, be highly benefited thereby; also it would not pay to add lim to a chalky soil.
