The busi- Victoria ., THURSDAY, MAY 23rd 1907 Jocelyn ’ Gordon fell into a reverie. Life was very dull at Loango. There was too much time for thought and too little to think about. This girl had only the past, and her past was all com- prised in a few monthsâ€"the few months still known at Loango as the simialcine year. She had lapsed into a bad habit of thinking that her life was over, that the daylight of it had waned and that there was nothing left now but the gray remainder of the evening. She was wondering now why it had all come, why there had been any daylight at all. Above these thoughts she won- dered why the feeling was still in her heart that Jack Meredith had not gone out of her life forever. There was no reason why she should ever meet him again. He was, so far as she knew, married to Millicent Chyne more than a year ago, althopghshe had never seen the announcement of the wedding. He had drifted into‘Loango and into her She sat down in her usual chair while the moonlight, red and glowing. made a pattern on the floor and on her white dress with the shadows of the creepers. The sea was very loud that night. rising and falling like the breath or some huge sleeping creature. When Maurice left her Jocelyn went out into the veranda. It was the be- ginning of the hot season. At midday the sun on his journey northward no longer cast a shadow. Jocelyn could not go out in the daytime at this period of the year. For fresh air she had to rely upon a long, dreamy evening in the veranda. “Pleasure? You’re come to the wrong place for that. However, I'll let you find that out for yourself. Go on to the bungalow. I’ll be back in less than an hour. You’ll find Jocelyn on the veran- da.” “Who the devil is that?” he cried. “Meredith." answered a voice. “Meredithâ€"Jack Meredith. In t‘ you?" a star was visible; even those of the southern hemisphere pale beside the southern moon.

It was not long before he rose from the table and lighted a cigar preparatory to go- ing down to his omce, where the cap- tainofthesteamerwaabythiatime probably awaiting him. It was a full moon. and the glorious golden light of the equatorial night shone through the high trees like a new dawn. Hardly “A bit dusky.” he said, smoothing out the linen folds reflectively. “but I shouldn't have minded that If I had been a marryin’ man, but I’m not." He laid the shirt in the portmanteau will be happy.” “Yes, sir, it is. She deserves it. it that goes for anything in the heavenly reckoning. She’s a. fine woman; a good woman that, air.” E‘Oh. pleasure!” replied Jack. with his goeeph was folding a shirt very Caro- by theth now Elwyn." ._ , They as. fair into the night arrang~ 1113 their lives.

Jack went out to mee: muuncc w.- don when they heard his footsteps. and as they walked back to the house he mid him. Gordon was quite honest she loved him. She maintained that the past was good; that he could not have acted diflerently; that she would not have had it otherwiseâ€"because she loved him. VLâ€" _A_ wrong? cast a different light upon the narra- tive. and she had listened to the an- swers with a grave, judicial little smileâ€"the smile of a judge whose ver- dict was preordaified. whose knowl- edge had nothing to gain from evi- dence. Because she loved him she took his story and twisted it and turned it to a shape of her own‘ liking. These items which he had considered nu; portant she passed over as trifles: th trifles she .magnined into the corner- stones upon which the edifice was built. She set the lame story upon its legs. and it stood upright. She beiiei'ed what he had never told. and much that he related she chose to dis- mm+_bmnse she loved him. She The lame story was told to the end. and at the end it was accepted. When Sir John’s name was mentionedâ€"when the Interview in the library of the great London house was brlefly touched uponâ€"Jack saw the flutter or a small lace pocket handkerchief, and at no other time. The slate was wiped clean. and It almost seemed that Jocelyn preferred it thus with the scratches upon it where the writing had been. Maurice Gordon did not come back in an hour. It was nearly 10 o'clock before they heard his footstep on the gravel. By that time Jocelyn had heard the whole story. She had asked one or two questions which somehow in silence. At times there hovered roundherlipsasmile. Itusnaliycame when he represented himself in a bad thtandtherewasasuggestionotsu- perior wisdom in it as it she knew something of which he was ignorant. He was never humble. It was not a confession. ’It was not even an ex- planation. but only a story; a very lame story indeed. which gained noth- ing by the telling. And he was not the hero of it. And all came about as wise old Sir John Meredith had predicted. It is not our business to record what Jocelyn said.

Men cannot write them down; pictures can- not print them. and on the door once more. stood in bout of her and told her his story. as Sir John'had suggested. He threw no romance into it. at‘ tempted no extenuation. but related the plain. simple facts of the last few years with the semiâ€"cynical suggestion of humor that was sometimes his. And the cloak of pride that had fallen upon his shoulders made him hide much that was good. while he dragged forward an? entry of which she had not yet de- tected the drift. “A long story." he explained. “which has not even the merit of being mu- ing.

UN“. The hen house is very important. Individually it will have to be ar- ranged as circumstances permit, but it should be free of all draughts, should face the sun, be fairly com- tortable. and the floor should be well covered with suitable scratching ma- terial. Perches can be arranged to tsuit the breed you have, and suitable '3 nests provided. Too many hens with a. male bird sometimes results in weakly chicks and unless the young ones are vigor- ous and healthy they will never de- velop into a fine table bird. ' The earlier the chicks are hatched the larger they grow, still a good table bird may be obtained from a hatching any time in May. it on a good run. ‘ It is very important to keep the hen house clean. Whitewash it, thor- oughly clean the nests and perches to insure freedom from lice, a pest which retards the growth of the chicks and it not closely watched to: will cause disaster to the young If wishing to raise chickens for the table, I would proceed- as follows. Take about twelVe hens, with a. cock- erel or pullets with a cock bird, as this is a.good mating to produce. un~ der proper care, the hardieat pro- geny. Both are suitable, as they are" hardy, handsome, quick to mature, good feeders, and, In short. the best of general purpose fowl. Like all stock, success with poultry is only obtained by good management. vary- ing. of course, according to the our- roundings.
