DOUBLY WEDDED

BY-CHARLOTTE M. BRAEME.

CHAPTER XIX. It was a sweet, dewy evening after the «nltry day. TJie rural homestead, covered with climbing roses, looked as if nothing tat peace could possibly stay within its white walls. The trees leaned protecttogly toward the thatched roof; two doves were cooing and preening their plumage the chimney stack, from which the Mue smoke rose in a steady column, for <he next day would be “baking day,” and they were heating the large brick oven. The rector looked at the house and sighed; he thought of the narrow grave he had gazed into but a few hours since, and he said to himself, “Perhaps it is better to be there, unconscious of sin, misery and suspense, then even here.” Of the Hall, of the squire, madam, Lillian, he had not the heart to think since that awful threat of mischief to those —his dear friends had met his eyefc. He took Colonel Ware through to his study, drew up the blind, then went into Itia escritoire, unlocked it, and silently handed the colonel a letter. The direction was in clumsy printed characters. So was the inclosure, which was a half-sheet of note paper. The colonel frowned fiercely as he read. “To the Rector of Heathside: “gir—l beg to inform you that Captain Drew, the lawful husband of the squire’s daughter of Heathside, did not die, as reported, last year, but is still alive and in a lunatic asylum in Italy. This is from “A WELL WISHER.” “A hoax!” said the colonel vehemently. "A hoax on the face of it!” He turned the paper over and over. There was neither address nor date. “There is ‘E. C’. nu the envelope,” he said —the postal districts had been recently established —“and Jthat is all the clew the rascal who penned this has chosen to give us. There is •either stamp of the maker’s name nor watermark in either paper or envelope,” he went on, holding them in turn to the light- “The wretches knew what they were about. By the way,” he added, returning the papers to the rector, “what became of those old drunkards who behaved so brutally their daughter?” “The father and "mother of that woman?’ interrogated Mr. Rawson. “I took care to let the parish authorises know about them. They had absolutely no clew to the whereabouts of the children —nor as their daughter—unless she gave it them. The wretches wrote to Lillian, begging once or twice,. but 1 insisted on her taking no notice.” “Then they ,have tried another method •f blackmailing,” said the colonel. “This la their work." “Then the first step is to find them,” remarked the rector, with a gleam of hope. “Our first step is to tell Macdonald,” said the colonel, rising, and walking to the window. * “Tell—Willie?” said Mr. Rawson, aghast. “Surely, we can manage it all without half killing the poor fellow with suspense! Think, Geoffrey—consider!” “Our first step is to tell Macdonald,” repeated Geoffrey Ware doggedly, "unless ■<we drop being men of honor and turn 'traitors. You are not looking the situation in the face, man. William Macdonald onust leave Lillian—at once.” f -“.Leave Lillian? Oh, my poor girl—so talicate still —so dependent on him!” “He has a first-rate excuse just now. His affairs require his presence in town; the lawyers cannot do without him.” “But she knows he could go backward and forward,” said the rector. “That wouldn’t satisfy her about the separation.” “Then there must be some other valid excuse.” “His mother was looking ill." said the rector. “But where are you going?”—for bis son-in-law took up his hat, and was moving toward the door. “Unless you are dealing with soldiers, If you want a thing done, do it yourself,” answered the colonel dryly. “Sending a message to the Hall by one of the farm men— or worse still, by one of the maids—would mean n bungle. I shall bring Macdonald back with me in a trap and break the news to him at once, for there is no time to lose. He must accompany me back to town to-night,” he added significantly. “He must not spend one hour at the Hall till all this is cleared up.” “Oh. my poor bairns, my poor bairns!” groaned the rector, wofully, as he heard CJeoffrey’s footsteps grow fainter in the distance. “Will the consequences of that miserable man’s sin never come to nn end? They were—-they arc—heaven help them so happy, so innocently, virtuously happy, nnd here is the serpent again, to ating them mortally perhaps this time!” His grief, as he buried his face in his hands, would have been still sharper, his •elf-reproach that it was he who hnd been instrumental in bringing Lillian and Willie together still more bitter, if he could .have seen them nt that moment.

CHAPTER XX. Thin evening Lillian was in the pnrlor •when her husband returned from Mr. Ilaw’s funeral; and, when the colonel arsived post-haste. and was by his reqneat ■bowii nt ouee into the “pnrlor" when* Willie was. thia was what he snw—LllUan. delicate, l»ale, but with a peculiarly youthful and angelic expression on tier cwect face, half crouching, half lying trick on pillows in u large unit-chair, the »ink fat baby sprawling on her lap, a «y of red sunlight falling across her gold en hair- which was nil loose ufoon her white wrapper—upon the firm mottled limits of the infant, whose dress had been «nfaaten<Kl that he might hare what his Mother called “n good kick.” Willie sitting on the sofa, gazing delightedly upon bls loved ones; and Lilith, still in her painting frock which was of all colors of the rainbow mid more besides-kneeling by her mother tickling baby's dimpled cheeks with a feather—a proceeding Which, while it nstonished him, he appeared to take pica an re in. Another mnn might have flinched; but with Geoffrey Ware Justice preceded mercy. He np more turned aside from what be considered to lie his duty now than he would hava done when giving the tford of

command to his men to advance upon the enemy, if their wives or children or mothselves at his knees imploring him to save their soldier relatives from danger and perhaps death. Looking up, Willie read some urgent need for action in the colonel’s set face. At the sight of him be rose almost involuntarily. “You want me,” he said, more as an assertion than in inquiry. “Yes,” answered the colonel, “at once. W’ill you order a chaise? The quicker we go the better.” Willie went out. “Who is ill?” asked Lillian anxiously, all the smiles fading from her face. “Hush, baby!” for the infant screwed up his face and gave a <hy. “No one,” said the colonel abruptly. “The rector wants to consult Willie at once on some important business.” “What is all'this about?” asked Willie anxiously, as they sped along the road—the gray stepped out bravely. “I cannot understand why my uncle could not tell me as w&were coming home to-day.” “He would have told you but for me,” said Geoffrey Ware. “I would not take a step in the affair until you were in it.” They had not quite reached the gate of the fields; but the rector stepped out from the shadow, and one of the men on the farm came forward to stand at the horse’s head. “Take the chaise gently through the field, and wait in the station road,” said Mr. Rawson to the man as the colonel and Willie alighted. Then the three marched silently down th€ eloping field into the house, which looked like some rustic haven of rest bathed in the pink light of sunset. Willie felt dazed rather than anxious; he had come into this Slough of Despond suddenly, he knew hot how. He qxpected nothing; still he had no fear but that this darkness would soon pass—no fear, no real idea of what this all really meant, till he was seated in the rector’s study, the anonymous letter which declared that Lillian’s former husband was still alive, that his wife was not his wife, his son not his lawfully begotten son, in his hand, then—“By heaven, this is a lie!” he cried, and fell back like a dead log, life, thought, sensation, arrested by the cruel shock. They dashed cold water on his face, laid him on the floor flat on his back, poured brandy down his throat as soon ns he could swallow, then assisted him in his struggles to rise. “I repeat that it is a lie,” he gasped, the instant that he was sufficiently recovered to articulate, “a foul, diabolical lie; and, if I had the creature, the scoundrel who invented it, here now, weak as I feel, 1 could twist his throat and crush the life out of him, if I knew I should swing for It!” He looked so wild, with his damp, disheveled hair, his furious eyes, his white, drawn lips, that the rector was frightened; and the colonel thought the man would hardly be fit for action till he had been in the doctor’s hands: "however, seeing how imperative it was that steps to prove the falsity of the anonymous letter should be taken, he rallied himself with an effort nnd discussed the situation with his two friends. Before ten o’clock struck from the old church on the hill, the colonel, Willie Macdonald and the rector were nil three on their way to London, and two letters were dispatched, one from Willie to Lillian — “My Own Wife—l have thought it right to accompany my uncle and Cousin Geoffrey to town to-night, for I can render them material help in some important business. Say nothing of this to anyone; make any simple excuse you like to your parents; I will return ns soon ns possible. Meanwhile I pray heaven to bless nnd keep my darlings. WILLIE." Another, marked private, from the same to Lilith—- " Lilith—l am terribly tried. I rely on you to keep our darling safe nnd well, and your denr mother free from idens of difficulty or.danger to our hnppiness. I trust you, dear Lilith. W. M.” Lillian wns comforted by her husband’s letter. Lilith, stealing in late at night, saw her sweetly asleep, her baby on her nnn. She stood looking at them, her face drawn with pain—she, who had never been rightly informed ns to the death of Captain Drew, had immediately suspected that her father might be still alive. Meanwhile she had written to her close friend, Michael Druce — "I fear some trouble is coining upon us through iny/iate father. 1 feel that you, ns one who known foreign countries, may possibly lie able to give us important help. As a matter of fact, 1 am utterly ignorant of what this threatened trouble .is; but 1 ask you, as a great favor, to go to Mr. Macdonald, and help him if you can; he is most likely in Prince’s Square. “Your unhappy friend, "LILITH.” This was a gradually augmented anxiety, but it wns borne by mnny shoulders. CHAPTER XXL Michael Dr.itce wns working steadfastly in the house in Arbor lame. Now that 1 England, in the person of Lilith, hud beI come denr to him, and now that Englund had taken him by the hand so fur ns to i hang his picture upon the walls of her ' Academical Exhibition, his roaming fit wns arrested, lie wns in his iltudio. This wns anI ciently the dining room where he nnd his , mother hnd entertained Willie Macdonald and Colonel Ware nt breakfast on the morning they cume to see his pictures. It wns transformed. The window had boon heightened; an alcove hnd been built out, with ii stained-glass window, making a species of Eastern recess, with tiled flooring, cushions, fnns pendent from the painted ceiling, nnd the rich stuff curtains hung upon n rod, to bo drawn ns the light in the studio demanded. The skeleton nnd the lay figure hnd a new companion in n full suit of armor. Spears nnd dented shields, savage trophies, nil bends nnd shining bcetlesklns, great rows of Venetian beads, shelves of pottery from all ports of the world, collected during his travels, covered wulls; a frw ancient

Grecian marble morsels—hands, feet, mutilated heads—hung here and there, and there were one or two oil paintings. Druce had packed away all his sketches and pictures that were not sold, or exhibited, or hung about the house, in bis former painting room upstairs; the one picture he was working at was on his easel. It was a portrait of Lilith, painted from memory. Memory? It was scarcely that. Was there one grand curve, one peculiar sweep of outline in her lithe figure, one shade of the peculiar brown of her marvelously delicate skin, one flash of her great eyes, one twist or frown of her marked brows, one droop of the expressive lips, that he had not mentally registered? This Druce asked himself when he began to paint Lilith’s portrait, and the answer, honestly given, was “No.” It was a glorious picture, although but the painted ,effigy of a young woman. It grew into life more and more every day. Druce had painted his lady love as an Eastern water carrier. A brown water jar was poised on her head, and she looked straight out of the canvas at the beholder with a glance inquiring, pathetic, fierce —a glance he had had from Lilith many a time, short though the period wafc during which he had known her. The picture seemed more alive than ever that morning when the old butler, with a look half chiding, half inquisitive, brought Michael Lilith’s letter. He waited, seriously watching his young master; but he was scarcely prepared for his excitement. Lilith appealing to him! Lilith presuming he had knowledge of her dead father! —he had heard the story from tne colonel. Lilith in trouble, asking him, Michael, to help her! It seemed so extraordinary, so bewildering, be grew giddy; he hardly knew what to do, whither or when to go, at first. But in a few minutes he calmed down. He went to his mother, told her a friend who was in trouble had sent after him, then dressed as calmly as he could, and went off to Prince’s Square. (To be continued.)

Continuous Performance.

In the early days of his success, when Gilbert and Sullivan were considered by managers as the “sure winners” In the comic opera field, a young woman who was a member of one of the “Pinafore” companies, wrote to Gilbert, telling him of her approaching marriage with a young man of good position and family. Gilbert congratulated the young woman and expressed the hope that her future might be prosperous and happy. Only a little more than a month passed and another letter from the same girl reached him, in which she stated that her engagement with the young man had been broken and that she had accepted another suitor. He replied that he had every confidence in her judgment, and again expressed his hearty wishes for her welfare. It was almost two months after that that Gilbert received a third letter from the same girl, who informed him that young Lord ■ had proposed, and that she had accepted him, after breaking her engagement with No. 2. Gilbert’s humor could no longer stand the temptation, and he wrote; “I desire to congratulate you on your approaching marrtagp with .” Here he placed an and Ln a foot-note added: . '•'.Wk “Here insert' the name of the happy man ‘” L i iifr He Didn’Sß.noW. About Hairpins. “By Jove,’;wMMiMHKie bridegroom, as he sat dowMßßptugged away at his mustache, too bad?” They had just arrived at Niagara Falls, and the\porter 'had bowed himself out after carrying up a trunk that weighed 487 pounds for which he received a 50-<cent “tip.” The frightened girl dropped her traveling hat upon the center tabled and stood as if transfixed, with one of her gloves half off. “What is it, Harry?” she asked. “This is a fine go,” he muttered. “I wonder how in the world I came to do such a foolish thing.” Then he felt In his pockets again, and cast a helpless look at the big trunk. “You—you haven’t lost your pocketbook. have you?” she asked. “No, darling,” he answered, “but I left my keys at home, and the one that opens your trunk is among them.” “Oh, is that all?” she exclaimed with a happy little sigh. “Here” —nnd she removed a hairpin from her rich brown locks—“open it with this. Now’ I know I am the only girl in whom you ever took a real interest. Otherwise you would have known. Ah. Harry, dear, I'm so happy!”—Cleveland Leader.

A Noted Composer’s Start.

Herve, the French composer, began his musical career as au organist. When a boy he strolled into a church one day and persuaded the blower to allow’ him to try the organ after service. He then improvised something wonderfully sweet and strange. The prlewt happened to hear it, strolled in and was amazed. “Where did you learn to play the organ, my boy?” he asked. “Tills is the first time I have ever played It. father,” he replied. “W’ell, you liad better apply for the post of organist here,” said thq priest; “there is a vacancy next week." The boy applied and was accepted.— Boston Traveler.

Just Alike.

"Do you »re that big cannon there?" said Jenks, indicating the thjrteen-lneh gun protruding from the turret in the picture of the battleship. "In one respect that’s just like my pockets are every night." "Why. dear,” Mrs. Jenks asked, “how can that be?" "It’s rifled," sn id Mr. Jenks.

The Only Way.

FARM AND GARDEN

The Old Plow. By the fence in the orchard the old plow stands, Slowly rusting and rotting aWay, While the days go by with their dropping sands, And 'the world grows dull and gray. It did its work in the long ago As it tumbled the stony soil, And the harvest waved with a golden glow, With a crown for the brow of toll. It seemed to shout like a warrior bold As it entered the stubborn field, And the wind-swept clouds above it rolled And the sun smote its shining shield. But now it stands by the fence alone, With its share all bnown with rust, And its oaken frame with weeds o'ergrown And smoldering away to dust. And as at the dear old plow I gaze I think of the loved ones dead, And the fragrant flowers of the vanished days And the joys that so swiftly sped And soon I know with the flowing tide That furrows the silvered brow, I, too, will be tenderly laid aside To molder like an outworn plow. The Leicester Sheep. The first Illustration is a portrait of a pair of yearling ewes, recently exhibited in England. They are not so elegantly formed as the Border Leicester strain, of what may be called the same breed, qnd of which a picture is given of a trio which gained the first

at a recent Highland show; but they are unexcelled as a mutton sheep, and a producer of a heavy and valuable fleece. The pictures speak for themselves. It only need be said that both these strains of this remarkable breed are to be found bred to perfection by several of our Canadian breeders, whose skill has kept up the style and material value of the race. It is one of the curious examples of the differences which w’ill gradually grow out of the personality of breeders, each of whom has a different ideal that these two

strains should have acquired from the starting point, a distinct type, which was certainly as distinct from each of these as each is from the other; and which may still remain in the memory of an expert who may not have only in mind what he saw a good maif years ago. It is thus that races change under the influence of skillful culture, or may deteriorate under continued neglect.— Montreal Herald. Getting Kid of Anta. C. H. Fernold. of the Ma-ssachusetta experiment station, recommondes the following, which is a good and sure method: Make holes with a crowbar or convenient stick from 0 Inches to 1 foot deep and about 15 inches apart, over the hUI or portion of the lawn infested by the ants, .and into each hole pour two or throe teaspoonfnls of bisulphide of carbon, stamping the dirt into the hole as soon as the liquid Is poured into It The bisulphide of carbon at once vaporizes, and, permeating the ground, destroys tie ants, but does not Injure the grass. One should remember while using this substance that Lt is highly Inflammable and should not bring near it a flame or even a lighted cigar. Fcarcity of Cattle. Cattle are becoming scarce In the West, and the Eastern markets will be affected by the conditions existing In the cattle regions. Farmers who raise more calves, nnd of good quality, will get good prices for them by the time they are matured. There Is no better way to dispose of the surplus foods than to have sufficient stock to consume it, and the manure will also be au important item on the farm. Judging n Cow. It may truly be said that to know a cow well she must be examined internally, so as to judge nnd score her heart, lungs, liver and stomach, which Is not possible, but dairymen are content to form a favorable opinion of a cow in that respect If she has a deep

body, Indicating the possession of large digestive organs. Long experience has taught progressive dairymen that a cow having a wedge-shaped form, the rear being wide, the udder large and extending well both front and back, with the teats set regularly and well apart, Is usually one that win not disappoint her owner, but as the Individuality of the animal is also a factor in the breed, the disposition, freedom from disease and quality of the product must be considered, especially as no two cows are alike, and the quantity and quality of the milk and butter may vary with the same Individual dally. The calf should also conform to the shape of the cow, and even the embryo udder will give some indication of Its future. An experienced breeder gives this rule for judging of a cow*or calf by its appearance: With the eye measure the distance from the tall about half-way down the rump, as it drops straight down, to the rear line of the thigh, and the greater the distance between those points, and the more curving the thigh, the better the cow. The hips must ’ curve away from the tall as the Indication of a good milker. Raising a Spring’s Level.

It is often the case that a spring is so situated that the water just falls to run from it into the house or stable. If

the source of the spring is evidently considerably higher than the spring Itself, get a section of iron water pipe, such as ■ are laid in cities, and put it over the mouth .of the spring’s Inlet, as shown in the illustration, filling In all the spring about it with stone and cement, giving the water an outlet only

by raising in the pipe. It can then be carried into the building as desired. The hydraulic ram also furnishes another method of raising water from a spring on a lower level. These rams are now'made to work extremely well, and are, moreover, very reasonable in price. Considering that nature can thus be harnessed and made to work for us without compensation, It Is strange that a greater number of farmers do not take advantage of the hydraulic ram. As it can work night as well as day, one has only to supply a tank of sufficient size to thus utilize a spring from which little water flows per minute.—New' York Tribune. ■ i Advantage of Small Farms. Too much land is expensive if it is not kept in good condition, as the taxes thereon will be an expense which must always be met. But few farms are well supplied with manure, and the resuU is that the land is not adequately furnished with plant food. Nothing is gained by spreading the manure necessary for five acres over ten times that area, for the smaller the yield the greater the expense of growing a crop in proportion to receipts. The largest yields are on small farms, and the profits are greater because less labor ds required in hauling and harvesting the crops. The distance of hauling the manure to a field regulates the number of loads, but the expense for labor is the same for a ftfw loads as for many where tihe handling of the manure is an important matter. It Is in the concentration of effort that the expenses are lessened. If a farmer can secure eighty bushels of corn from one acre he will make a larger profit tihan from forty bushels per acre, as he will have only one acre to plow and cultivate, and his land will become better every year because of being well manured.

FELL FROM A SCAFFOLD.

from the Herald, Watertown, H. Y. John Young, of Le Roy, N. Y., is 72 years old, and is well known in that and neighboring towns. While patting some weather boards on a barn, standing op a scaffold twenty-two feet from the ground, he felt dizzy, lost his balance and fell to the ground. The side of his facet, arm and one entire side of his body, on Which he struck, were badly bruised. Picked up and carried to the house, he was under a doctor’s care for several weeks. The doctor finally came to the conclusion that his patient had received a stroke of par-

Paralyzed by the Fall.

Pink Pills for Pale People. He coaxed his granddaughter to get him a box of the pills. After that box had been used he secured another. In three weeks he began to feel a little life in his arm; at the end of four he could move his fingers; at the end of two months he could walk, and in three months he could shave himself with the injured hand. As he told his story in the Herald office, he looked the perfect picture of health. He carries a box of the pills in his pocket, and whenever he does not feel just right he takes them. They cured him after doctors had given him up, and his death was daily expected. All the elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves are contained, in a condensed form in Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People. They are an unfailing specific for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vitus’ dance, sciatia, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous the - after effects of la gripps, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions, all forms of weakness either in male or female. ,

Two Ways of Looking at It.

Milbar—Hogins has a face that will make his fortune one of these days. At the restaurant the other day he handed the cashier a dollar bill. When he received his change he said very coolly: “That was a five I gave you.” And if you’ll believe it, the eashier handed him out four dollar bills. Stilson—But that was downright stealing. Milbar—Not at all. All that Hogins was after was to make the chappies standing around think he had as much as $5. Stilson —But he made $4 out of the eating-house by it. Milbar—Yes; but that was merely incidental, don’t you know merely incidental. —Boston Transcript.
