That was impossible. .No dcubt Dan had been sent on. or thoy had some little plan that required e.x«'<:u- t'on later In the day. Ma>fce they guessed she had flown lo London and nieant to follow, after T'emaining alxjut the village a few hours longer to pre- vent pei-.pl* from fmding out the true Btate of affairs. He would have given inuch to read what wa-s brewing within ibo man's bullet-shaped head ; tliough, had liis wisih been granted, he would hiiv^ been more Uiaii a little surprised and horritiixi.

It sliot over the cliffs, being more in pOSMSsioQ of his mind than anv thing alse. But a$ lime passed and he stood before tlio artist in gloomy silence, glancing •occasionally up tb<? straggling, sun- bathed street for the proccss^ion that liever cani9, he reinemlx;iud Dan, wh«,m ho had forgotten In his llrsl keen thought of sett-prcsex-vatwn, luid a smile crept slowly over his broad face.

What, a rage they would "oe in when they met, first at his non-sucress to secure Sunbeam, (lien at Ihe time 8P«nl awaiting his couiuan!<,n I But he dia not mind that. What he knew he would kcop entirely to him.iflf. Whether .Sfr Ralph had lietl or not. he folt sure that he had help«d Sunbeajn to escape, aud that she was further Uian Oliiay. lie would see \ery soen. if she was witti l.ady Cruse. A few hiurs would sel'le that point. But Dan was not ni that picl. Dan must be kept in total ignorance <'f ull discovered that niomlgg. If he found that Sir Ralph hail Uild ihe truth, and thai Sunbeam was not with Lady Crvuje, he himself would ho no better off than Dan. and '.o seek Sunbeam, in a city like London,- would b<> as hard a taslc as searching for a neoille in a bundle of hay. As for what he intended to do wh.en â- bo found .Sunbeam he <Muld not say. Ho must get some return for his trouble, aOcr keeping and elducating her all IhaPc yeai-s for that purpose. She must help him to feather the nest of iiis old pge. She could bring hiin far m<.ro nwncy by ULs keeping lo his ori^jial t>lans Ihaa he oould hope lo possess on restoring her to her family. Ho had tlioughl that all out before, and al- ways arrived at 1hc same conclusion. At Ihis climax, of hLs reflections his eyes fell on Sinclair's face, and a sudden thought darted inlo his mind. Fool thai he was not to have had it before : He niov».\t quickly av.ay from llio wall, Sinclair looked at him reproochtfully. "Don't go yet. Green; "I'm putting you In " "So 1 see," growt<xl Bill, edging closer to the canvas aud glancing at il eager- ly. "Leastways you've triotl to. I 7uight be anyone there. But. I'm tired of it, sir and " "Tired of doing nothing, eh?" laughed tho young man. "Come, I'll make a bct- tiv pcrlrail of you if you'll give mo a few minutes longer." "No, thank 'ee," retorted Bill, ir.oving off. '"I'hnfs good enough for me. I dont 'ok; with lastin' likenos.sesâ€" fool thai I was to run me 'ead in that noose. " ho muttered t<, himself as he turned the direction of his home. . Sinclair laughe<l under his breath. Something of the Irue reason for his iTKKtel's refusal lo sUiml entered liis mind. He tliinivs I have de.signs on him in fnv capacity as a detective,"' he mused. "H<x)r Green ! Thai's the worst of an uneasy conscience : one suspecte every- body. But if Duncan Sinclair had Nx^n sur- priseil at the man'.s return, Hetty was even nvore .•w. as ho w.ilked into .Sea View C/>ttago a few minutes «UI«r leav- ing' Sinclair. she asked, her eyes bright- "WeU r oning.

"I should like to see Sir Ralph myself," said Hetty thoughtfully, rolling her sleeves up and turning lo the fireplace, "i thought him hard and cruel years ago to a lamb what never dkl him a harm, but I ivever llwught he'd be a sneak. He must have known you'd sonip good rea- son for keeping her all these years, and might have seen you (irst." He shrugged his shoulders with an ex- clamation of disgust.

Dr. Smead. a well-known writer on veU.rinary subjects, says: â€" Sometimes, through carclc^fene&s. cows get in! J the uk'uI bin and help themselves I.3 a quantity so gj-eat that tho digestive organs are unable to cope with it. The cow soon becomes in a very bad condition generally, owing somewhat to Uie kind of meal that has been eaten. .SmioUincs Ihe tliii-d slo- luach becomes impacted with the meal and the cow is first delirious, then she goes into a comatose stale, and dies in a few hours, .\gain. acute indiges- tion is produced and the c<jw suffers much pain and at last dies with con- gestion of the fourth stomach or in- flammalMn of the l>iwels. Generally tlie cow in such a condi- Ima wants to drink inordinately and hei<e is where many farmers need a liltle advice. Becau.se the cow, if left l: herself, will drink tm inordinate quantity of water to her injurv-. It does not follow it should be wilhheM, and yet tha* is where many farmers make a inlstalte. They think because Ihe cow will kill herself by drinking water that it sliould be withhold entire- ly. Digestion cannot properly go on without the aid of water when an in- ordinate amount of meal or grain is taken inUj the cow's stomach, as tliere is only one way for il lo tro thixjuuh Ihe alimentary canal. If digestion en- tirely stops .the cow dies tbr*' or four limes a day. The hen. though small, is queen of the puulti-y yard. The lurkey, goose, duck and oUier fowls arc her band- maidens. Do not sell the oH bens just because they are old. Some hens age more ra- pidly than others. Keep ttiem as king a.< they are profitable, regardless of age. Don't get discouraged. The world is full of good things, it we only know how lo pick them out.
