Worth possessing, Judith found the 'first part of her road rough and stony, She, in common wilh most other | ycung authors, though she had nothing » do saye write and be paid; but she soon found out her mistake. Her first rejection revealed the delusion to her; that refusal proceeded: fromthe gracious Pen of Mr. Kearn, at that period editor of The British Lion: Subsequently, edi- lor and proprietor, Mr, Kearn was one af those wolves in sheep's clothing who go about the world lacerating the hearts of tender young authors, with an inde scribable show of kindness and painful adherence to truth, He hed published two or three books himself, and made thereby a certain re- Pulotion, which he traded on ever after. 'He criticized so freely, that. people took his' word for law; while Mr. Kearn him- Sell felt he was the highest tribunal, from which there could be no appeal, it an author succeeded, Mr, Kearn's hints" were, «of course, the basis of his success. If an author failed, he had wither neglected Mr. Kearn's timely eounsels, or else forgotten Mr. Kearn's advice to him to abandon literature al- together. And, accordingly, in a letter Which covered two-and-a-half sides of a sheet of Jetter-paper, Mr. Kearn con- veyed his criticisms and warnings to Miss Renelle, and then he advised her never to write another line; after which Pleasant commencement, he minutely analyzed the contents of her MS., and laid its faults out in the daylight, be- fere the eyes of his lady.correspondent. Judith read the precious episiic through, from beginning to end, Stand- ing before the fire in her aunt's' sitting- room, she perused every word of Mr. Kearn's valuable advice--and then, very scormfully, flung the letler on the top of the blazing coals, and walked: out of the apartment. The change which that annoyance wrought on Judith was surprising; Mr. Kearn seemed to have put a blister on her spirit. In place of following his ad- mirable counsel, she recommenced work with greater energy than ever, proving | eonclusively, to her aunt's satisfaction, that there is nothing so good for grief as a counter-irrilant--nothing so great a stimulant to exertion as a little whole- Fome opposition, And accordingly, ¥udith, with a spice of her former con- | trary disposition, gave herself up to jwriting altogether. She neglected other l\luties, to attend to that which was less o duty than a relief. Morning, noon, d night, she sat with a pen in her | hand, trying to prove Mr. Kearn wrong imnd to produce something which the | publishers would buy. All in vain. She wrote to the first houses in London, and received no an- pwers--then to various journals, which declined her communications, with thanks, The worst part of the business was, that Miss Ridsdale, fearful of raising false hopes, and really not able to dis- cover any particular talent, dared not encourage the girl. Since her recovery to bodily health, Judith, once so thought- ful for others, had seemed to forget every one save herself. Great sorrow is always Selfish for a lime; and_her time had now been a long one. Miss Ridsdale did not like every duly being performed on compulsion. -- "Judith," she said, one winter's day, "do you know, I think you ought to go out with your father a little more; he has grown so frail lately, and he seems se lonely without you." Her auditor looked up, hastily-- "I--I cannot bear to go out,' she an- swered; "if hurls me to. look on those dreadful hills; and then, besides, 1 have mothing to say fo papa now, not a word." ; "Don't you think yeu could find some- thing, if you tried, Judith? You used ls be able to amuse and interest him, when no other person could." "Yes, but that was a long time ago; everything is changed now. I am not what I was once; everything is altered since then--and so am I." "Still, you might try to make him a little happier; in fact, you ought to do it. I never saw any one.so utterly bro- ken down," . "Yes," interrupted Judith; "but when ican give him meney, he will get bet- ter; it is that which is oppressing him. Whenever I make enougir to relieve his difficulties, you will see him a changed being." "But you'may never make a shilling," returned her aunt; "and, in the mean- time, you are neglecting him. Besides it is not merely money which is fret- ling Mr. Renelle--your illness, and con- sequent. anxiety shattered his health completely; and then the species of es- trangement which has come between you and him." "What estrangement?" asked Judith, "Tl love him as much or more than ever 1 did--indeed, indeed, I do, aunt." "Perhaps so; indeed 1 am sure 80; but people like a little evidence of the feeling. In days gone by, you and he were. always together; and what are you now?" 2 "lam trying to be,his assistant," an- swered Judith, earnéstly; and the reply was true, so far as it went. "Very possibly," returned Miss Rids- dale; "but why not combine: all char- acters in one? why neglect tlie' greal yiood of the present, for the sake of a future which may never come?" "1 will go and walk with him now," said Judith, rising, for she was one of those rare mortals who would listen to the voice of reason, let her tones sound as harsh as they would; and, accordingly, she went away down the stairs, and into the dining-room; and, with something of her old manner, only softened and saddened, she asked her father lo come ottt with her. She tried to talk to him, to. make amends for their long alienation; with a very peni- tent heart, she saw how the old man's eyes brightened when she entered the room; how closely he clung to her dur- ing their ramble. "Father," she said, when they got pack to the dining-room -- fire, and she had set him in his old seat once more, "father, although we have been very unhappy of late, wé don't love one an- other less than ever we did--do' we?" She had crouched down on her knees as she asked the question, and twined her arms about his neck, for the busy ywonscience was at work again, reproach- ing her with want of thought for him. "Do we?" she softly, repeated, as she drew the furrowed cheek nearer, and kissed first it, and then the tears, which came slowly. trickling from the old man's eyes--kissed the drops away, one ky one; after which, she pillowed her father's head on her' shoulder, and stroked his grey hair with a tender, waressing hand. $ From that hour Judith Renelle turned over a different leaf in her. life's story, She took counsel boldly with her own heart and her own soul, and found each had a word to say to her of re- proach and warning. Happiness for herself, she discovered, was a thing not to be--that is, the peace and tranquility she likewise fan- cied had passed away for ever; but she also saw she had sacrificed others: on this shrine of her own sorrow--that she had done wrong, Upon which discovery, the girl-woman made a* solemn vow, that from that day forth she would carry her heavy burden in 'silence, and live to lighten others' grief, rather than indulge her own. She thought if Marcus were liy- jing it was the path he would bid her jpursue; and every pang she inflicted on her own spirit during the course of that self-imposed path of duty, she looked on as a kind of punishment for her share in the Christmas night's tra- gedy; next her heart she wore the hair- cloth, with the ardor and the constancy wf a devotee. Always brave and strong, she «persevered in the course she had chosen, and thenceforth Mr. Renelle never walked alone, nor was Lillian's comfort neglected; and Miss Ridsdale, finding 'her niece so nobly battling happiness of old; j against the Inherent selfishness of hu- man nature, wondered. if brighter days would not dawn for the girl--if her fu- ture might not still be a peaceful one? CHAPTER XI, When Judith Renelle, after so long n period of mourning, cast off the sack- cloth and ashes she had carried about for such a period as the outward signs and tokens of her grief--when, in plain- er Englisif she began to attend to her father again, and look afler Lillian, and mend her own, clothes, and take a sort of routine interest in household affairs; when, like one suddenly aroused froma useless dream, she weakened, at last, to life, and the cares, and the iluties thereof, Mr. .Mazingford came to ihe conclusion that she had indulged her sorrow for an old lover long enough and that she ought to be ready to. listen {fo a hew one. "Even had they been marrial,' he so- liloquized, "she would only have re- quired a year to get over the thing; but, Heaven be praised! it never came to that--and yet, still, I don't know if o. widow. might not have been better than a girl crossed in love. I do, not care for widows; though. Having tried one of the species already, should prefer a variety!" and as, in any case, Judith Renelle could not be made a widow of now, he determined to transform her into a wife, as speedily as might be. For he was in love with her, and he would have done almost anything to get her to marry him. Her beauty was, perhaps, greater than ever, Her bearing was more calm, collected, and digni- fied; trouble had deepened the stream of her mind, and smoothed the ripples on the surface; and last, though cer- tuinly not least, there was a certain repulsion, so constantly apparent to- wards him, that Mr. Mazingford's pique was aroused sufficiently to make him swear, willing or unwilling, she should wed him. If all these were not rea- sons enough to induce him to bring mat- jiers to a point, another might have been found in the fact that Lewis Mazing- ford had set his heart on having Judith fcr a wife long before; and Lewis Maz- ingford waS neyer known ,to set. his heart on anything for nought. It vre- mained to be seen, therefore, which, Judith or he, would get the best of the fight--for it was now almost a pitched hattle between them--she offering hat- red of Mr. Mazingford to the manes ef Marcus Lansing--he, outwardly, all smoothness and kindness, bringing «other influences to bear. upon her, of which she was happily ignorant, Money, or rather the want of it--that was the screw Mr. Mazingford believed would bring the proud beauty to his fect. He longed to conquer her, to make her feel he was conferring a fa- yor on her by giving her his name. With feverish desire he panted for that triumph, and the minute he saw her ola love 'for her father reviving in her heart, he fancied her vulnerable point might be touched, and commenced op- erations forthwith. There had been a ecolness in Mr. Re- nelle's manner towards him for a long time previously; ever since, in fact, wwe failure of the coal-mine scheme; a cool- ness such as~ invariably ensues, after a certain period, between borrower -and lender--recipient and patron. There was no absolute quarrel, it is true. Mr. Mazingford came to the house just as freely as formerly--perhaps, indeed, a littke more freely, for he looked upon jit now as his own; and Mr. Renelle al- ways received him with a show of wel- come; but still, since Marcus Lansings death, and the bursting of the coal- mine bubble, a great guif had opened hetween the pair, which the owner of Wavour Hall tried in vain 'to span.

An especially timely bulletin has just been issued from the Missouri. Experi- ment Station by Dean H, J. Waters giv- ing the results of some experiments to determine the vaiue of different forage crops for hogs. © 'Thirtysix pigs of about 50 Ibs, each were fed in lots on different forage crops in connection with corn until they were ready for' market,, accurate account being kept of the gains made, In cheapness of grains the feeds used ranked as folows: corn and skim milk,- cheapest; corn and alfalfa, sec- ond; corn and red clover, third; com and bluegrass. fourth; corn: and® rape, fifth; corn and ship stuff, sixth. A saving of about 75c a hundred in the cost gain was effected by - using green clover in#tead of fresh --blue- grass. A saving of $1.00 a hundred was effected by using alfalfa instead of bhiegrass. When it "is realized that alfalfa comes on early and when pro- perly clipped stays green all summer and until the very bard freezes of early winter its importance as a hog pas- ture is apparent. Clover yields more forage per acre than bluegrass, and as shown by 'these experiments has a much higher feeding value. It is of the utmost importance therefore to pro- vide this sort of pasture for hogs rather {tan to require them to run on a blne- grass, a timothy pasture, or even worse grass pasture, or even worse than blue- grass, a timothy pasture, or even far worse than this, to confine them in a dry lot in the summer time. This bulletin. recommends a succes- sion of crops for profitable hog pasture. SEFt erty SALT FOR MANGEL CROP. The value of salt for the mangel crop has offen been demonsirated, and iv was emphatically shown in experi- ments carried out by the Trish Depart- ment of Agriculture on eleven farms in eight counties, as shown in a report is- sued a year ago, says the English Agri- cultural Gazette, Theo average'. re- sults were only 3 tons 14-cwt. per acre without manure. Fifteen tons of farm manure gave an increase of 12 tons 19 cwt. The addition-of 4 cwt. of super- phosphate made the crop: 23¢. tons more, the further addition of 2 cwt. of sulphate of ammonia made it 19% tons more still; and where kainit, at the rate of 2 ewl. per acre was added to the ot- her three artificials and the farmyard manure, another 234 'tons* brought the yield up to 23 tons 13 cwt. But 4 ewt. of salt, Instead of the kainit, gave an in- crease of 3 tons 7 cwt., the total. yield being 24%4tons, or 20 tons 16° cwt. more than where no manure was used. The farm manure is valued at 4s. per ten, which is enough, perhaps, consider- ing that a single crop would not ex- haust it; and the whole of the manures cost £5 2s., while the increase due to hem, at 10s. per ton, was worth £10 8s., showing a profit of £5 6s. per acre. What is more remarkable, however, is that 4 ewt. of salt, costing only 4s., when added to the farm manure, super- phosphate, and sulphate of ammonia, gave an increase of 3 tons 7 cwt. of mangels, worth £1 13s. 6d. LIVE STOCK NOTES. A horse is profitable to his owner in proportion to the good condition of his feet and legs. The healthful state of these is best subserved by good earth fleors. At the present season ewes should be brought into fair condition both to give them strength to bring forth their young, and to stimulate a good flow of milk. Care should be taken not to make them fat, as this is likely to produce in- flammatory symptoms after parturition. Horses that have done little werk dur- ing the winter should be handled -at this time of year with more than or- dinary care. 'This is particularly true of young horses and brood mares. An excessively hard day's* work or' heavy load now when they are unaccustomed jo pulling', may result very disastrously to their future usefulness. Great care should be taken not to overlax a colt. Be It is the live stock that keeps up the fertility of our farms, and upon the quality of the stock depends the margin' of profit and loss. Every farmer should have a purpose anda system: in breed- ing; yet carcless and. aimless breeding is the rule with foo many farmers. Test your cows and weed out all below the profit line. If you are breeding for but- ter, use a bull from an extra butter'cow. of a bulter breed. Avoid inbreeding; it tends to delicate-and enfeebled concon- stitutions, while. by using a bull from another family, possessing the but- ter qualities in the same degree, you re- tain "the -butter tendency and increase the capacity by adding vigor to the off- spring. In selecting breeding stock see tbat the dam is individually good; that the sire has-an unbroken pedigree, and js of a good strain, and especially that he has a good dam. It is an old saying that "the bull is half the herd." FARM. NOTES, Look around a. little and see if you cannot get some betler oats than your <cwn for seed. A change is often one of the most profitable things possible. Every farm is a. great. laboratory where the finest, brainest study in all the world can be carried on. Here the highest science is invelved. What finer vecation. presents ilself to any man than to be breeder and originator of de- sirable plans and animals for the use of man? It is net so very. much trouble to. get a good crop of oats, All we need to do is to have the ground in good eondition, get at it' Im proper season, use good seed, and--wait. A good many times we are in too big a hurry about getting in our oats; not too soon, but too much of a hurry to get through. So we slip over the work and then wonder why ye do not get good returns. ayer chore PRACTICE IN BRITISH NAVY. The Results of Gunnery Tests Are Bet- ter Than Ever Before. The Brilish Admiralty has just issued the "Result sof the Battle Practice in "TL. M. Fleet for 1907." It is a very satisfactory document to all who care for the efficiency of the 3ritish Navy, for it shows that the battle practice results are better than ever before 'have been achieved. As to this the figures are left to speak: for themselves, but' My. Lords allow them- selves one single comment, expressed with characteristic naval brevity ~ and restraint: : ' Their Lordships note with satisfac- tion the further improvement in the re- sults as compared with those obtained in previous. years, in spite of the eondilions being more severe. Undoubtedly. the feature of the year is the fine work of the China Squadron, which is easily first of ihe seven great divisions of the Brilish- Navy with a splendid average of nearly -700 poinis per ship. The Admiral in command in Chinese waters is Admiral Sir Arthur W. Moore, whose flagship is the King Alfred, Second. in the jist is the powerful Heme Fleet, of whose cor nent of twenty ships itis significant to note that the flagship, the Dreadnought, made the best shooting. < The Channel Fleet, with sixteen ships, with Lord Charles Beresford in' com- mand, is only sixth on the list.

The country on which is concentarted the supremest regard of all Christen- dom, far -surpassing in- interest and fascination any other place in the whole. world--the Holy, Land--owing to the. blighting effects of the effele rule of the Turk, in rough weather is practi- cally shut out and isolated from the world, For the absence of any harbor, | which any. civilized jpower, even. the most unimportant, would long ago have provided, renders landing altogether impracticable except in fairly moderate weather, 4 And even then a. landing at Jaffa (formerly Joppa) is an experience fre quently, though. happily not always, the reverse of agreeable. The steamer an- chors. some distance from the town and is soon surrounded by Arab boats, one of which approaches the Jowered stair- gangway as near as practicable. The passenger then descends the stairway: and seats himself, or herself--and woe t her if she be stout and heavy--on the small grating at foot, his feet dang- ling over the surging billows. His arms are then seized by two stalwart Arabs, who, as the boat rises on the crest of a wave to within a few feet drop him into the arms-of two other swarthy Arabs, who, while he is suspended in mid-air, vio- lently clutch hold of his feet or legs. Down, down, goes the boat in the trough of the sea; and down, down, goes the passenger, who, gripped. tightly, by the Arabs, in a few amoments is hurtled, sprawling, inlo the boltom of the boat amidst a number of exhausted and frightened ladies ard gentlemen, some of the former trembling, and almost. in hysterics, and all probably more or less sore with bruises and pough hand- ling. The Arabs then with wild gesti- culations and wuider still clamor and gutteral vociferalions row off towards the shore, every now and then the surf breaking over the boat and drenching the occupants. And then, the middle passage accom- plished, what a thrill, almost of ecs- tasy, courses through the veins, ag the traveller sels foot upon the shore and feels that he is on holy ground.

For here the Great Founder of our holy réligion, having on our behalf left for a time His archangel-surrounded throne in the heaven of heavens, lived a life of penury and oblequy, and then, as cur Substitute, suffered the penalties we had incurred through our manifold transgressions, thereby blotting out the record on high against all and any who will prostrate themselves before Him and plead that great atonement.
