He had but to say that he did not love her, and he would be free. The temptation was acute, ar.d f r a moment he wavered. But then he remembered all tliat de- pended on this marriage. Joel would never believe but that he biiiivif had caused the rupture. He muft lie. and lie firmly "Do you love me, Cyril?" she asked pleadiugly. "Don't hesitate to give me pain. Speak the truth.

He went on to speak of the ar- rangements for the marriage, and he affc'ted an interest that deceiv- ed her into believing, for the mo- nient, that he spoke the truth. But then it was her desire to do so, and it is easy to persuaJc oneself that n Ftafc of affairs exists, when it coincides with one's passionate with. With an effort Harce.Tstle redou- bled his attentions, and in the end succeeded in smothuriug her su- a»6c»>â€" »o«09« â€" c»e « spicions. He took her in his car, and as they were making their way along Bond Street, they were pulled up by the traffic. A lady, in a victoria, pa&aed them, just as they com- menced to move again. She looked at Harecastle and bowed. His face Hushed, and he turned away, but not before llcbekuh had observed his confusion. "Who was that?" she asked qtiietly. "Miss Fetherston," ho replied. She made no comment, but this accidental encounter once more aroused her 8\ispicions. During the afternoon she chanced to call upon Miss Stanton, the friend who had told her of Hare- castle's engagement to Miss Feth- erston. She had been there a few minutes when she saw the object of her thoughts enter the room. "Please make me known to Miss Fetherston," she said to her hos- tess, and the introduction was ef- fected. "We passed you in Bond Street this morning," Kebekah remarked, "i was with Lord Harecastle." "Yes, 1 saw you," Kthtel replied quietly. "You are an o'd friend of Cyril's, are you not?'' she asked wistfully. "Yes, we have known one another for vears," Ethel answered rather coldly. "1 wish so much that his friend;; should be my friends," Rebekah said pleadingly. "You know that I do not really belong to your world." Kthel looked at her curiously, and was agree.ibly surprised at the re- lined beauty of tho daughter of the Jewish millionaire. She felt no- thing but contempt for the way she had befu treated by Harecastle, but this Rirl was not to blame, for she could not have known of their tfugagement. She would have for- given anything, save that he should go straight from having jilted her to bind himself to another. "Will you come to see me at Leighton Manor ? May I send the car for you?" Rebekah asked eag- erly. "Any day this week will suit me. To-day is Tuesday. Shall wc say Thursday J" Ethel was possessed 'by a natural desire to know more of the woman that Cyril was about to marry, and .nhe decided to accept the invitation, so she consented to go on the Thursday. Rebekah returned at once to lioighton Manor. She did not quite know why she had asked Ethel Fetherston to visit her, but deep in her heart there was an intention of trying to ascertain if there was any truth in her suspicion that Harecastle cared for her.

When Ackroyd received Joel's second cheque ne had fully deter- mined to invest the proceeds and to retire into the country, where ho could live on the interest in com- fort. But ho was inoculated with the fever of gambling and his good resolutions vanished. He changed nothing of Ilia extravagant manner of living, and he revelled in luxur- ies. The (,'ity ouro more engaged hi» attention, and he launched forth into speculation. At the outset he was ftairly euutinus, and if he had continued to be su all would have been well. It uiight have been thought that he nould have Icarut a lesson from his former expert cnce, but such natures arc not cas ily tiuight even by such a hard ta:>k master. Copper mining shares were then the rage, and he decided to buy largely. Their value at once in- creased, and in consequence he gratified a desire for an expensive tL'uring ear. For a while everything succcded, and in his dreams he saw himself rivalling Joel Josephs in wealth. But that imp of ill luck that had pursued him all his lite determined to have a say in the matter. Down canie the shares like a rocket. Paper that had repre- sented forty thousand pounds was soon worth but twenty, then fifteen and finally ten tlioiisand pounds. Uiil this was not all for there was a liability attached which would more than swamp all the money that he po.sfio.-iscd. Ho was, confident that all would come right if he only had .suiTicient capital to tide over this biul time. Writs were issued and judgnu-nts for large amounts were signed nguifist him. Then caino thrtjata of l)arikrup!cy, ^nd ho bc(;nn to rea- lize th;it he was in a tight corner, l-'ive thouKund p.mnds would tide him oTer hi^ present diffii'ultiiss, and ho felt that in a tew months he would once more he in aftluencc.

The room wa.H a large one, and was evidently the one in which Joel worked.

Joel was evidently in no hurry I to see him, for a half an hour pass- c-d and still he did not come. Ack- royd's nervousness increased and I he dreaded the interview more than ever. Were his need not so des- perate, he Would have turned tail and fled, but money he must have, and quickly. The luxury which he had employed for the last few weeks had become a necessity to him.

The reply was a curt refusal. He wrote a long threatening letter, but this was returned to him, enclosed in another envelope. "He evidently docs not know that I got back the letters. Shall 1 tell him?" Ackroyd ruminated. "But perhaps he is acting under Joel's advice. I think I had better deal with the Jew." This course was not at all to his liking, for he held Joel in profound respect. If ho could have seen any other alternative ho would have avoided the interview. Ho had the utmost fear of getting himself in- to his clutches, and he was suffici- ent of a lawyer to know that he would be rendering himself liable to a long term of imprisonment if they should dare to nave him ar- rcstedi That was the crux of the matter. Would they dare I Joel was just about to ally himself with the Earl's family, and he would natur- ally be desirous that nothing should be made public that would reflect upon his daughter. Yes, he would take the risk and beard Joel. As soon as he had come to this decision he drove in his car to his chambers in St. James'. By the use of the telephone he ascertained that Joel was at present staying at Leighton Manor, and he decided to go there to see him. Ho went to his safe and took out a large envelope, which he opened, and from which he took some pho- tographs. They were copies of the cipher letters which he had had taken be- fore he had handed the originals over to Joel. And Ko Ackroyd still possessed irrefutable evidence of the Earl's treachery. Soon after lunch Ackroyd started in his car for l^eifihton Manor. He was not possessed of the self-con- fidence that sustained him upon his first journey to blackmail the Earl, for in Joel he realized that he was dealing with a man of different calibre. He had heard the news of Hare- castle's engagement to Joel's daugiiter with great interest, for it e.xplnintd wluit had hitherto ]nizzled liini, namely the reason that had animated Joel in buying the cipher letters for so large a sum. Naturally he had no idea that the letters had been u.-ied as a lever to f^)rce Lord Harecastle to marry the Jew's daughter. He merely thought that the engngenicnt was on the tapis and that Joel had thought it adviFahle to destroy evi- dence tliat might injure the family with wlii'.'h his daughter was about to alljV herself.

FARM NOTES. Europe, says Londou Tit-Bits. For a period of sixteen years now the Queen has been a devotee of the camera. She possesses fiva cameras. It was, ol course, as Princes sot Wales that her Majesty made her first snapshot. Although to-day the Queen really does very little developing, she has so thoroughly ma.stered its techni- calities that she is fully competenb to enter the dark room which was' specially built on the new royal yacht, the Victoria and Albert, at her instigation and print off her films. Wlierever the Queen goes â€" . bs it a cruise in the royal yacht to- her home in Denmark or a ride, across country in the Highlands- she is never without a camera. That she uses it is evident when it ' V, stated that during one of her Mediterranean cruises she secured ' 1,400 photographs in six weeks. In her way of going to work she • is most methodical. Her photo- . graphs fill many albums and under each photograph her Majesty has written a description of the picture • and the date when taken. They , include a great variety of subjects, from the King's stud horses taken in the old days at the annual sale at Wolferton to portraits of her grandchildren on the lawn at Sand- ringham and the ruins of the Par- thenon. The photographs of her grandchildren fill three albums alone and now amount to several thousand. They depict them at their games romping with each ' other, and one that made the King roar with laughter whan he saw it has caught two of the younger sons of the Prince of Wales, each en- deavoring to exert his right to a certain toy by the free use of his fists. One is not surprised to hear that his Majesty has frequently fallen a victim to the ever alert camera . of the Queen. What she regards as one of the best photographs of the King is that which depicts him talk- ing to Lord Suffield in the grounds of Marlborough House.

It has also been noticed that, in the northern limits, a plant is more productive, generally con- tains more sugar and gluten, and requires a shorter time to complete its growth.
