Finding all in order here, the busy little housewife passed next into that pleasant room near the kitchen and the pantry and fronting upon the garâ€" den. Here she found her two little black handmaids with their baskets of raspberries. She praised their diliâ€" gence and took the raspberries and was engaged in putting them in cut glass dishes when she felt a light hand laid upon her shoulder, and, glancing round, she saw Mark smilâ€" ing upon her.

She was looking very lovely in her fresh white muslin morning dress without any ornament but her own soft brown ringlets and the bright blush and smile lighted byâ€" happiness. _ "Here they are!" he said, fondly showing the flowers. _ .

Of the family party gathered around the breakfast table, the pale, beautiful India assumed a mask of sn}ilesâ€"«Mr. Ashley wore a look of anxious mgerâ€" plexity. Mark appeared selfâ€"possessâ€" ed. Colonel Ashley was secretly anâ€" noyed to find the reunion around the breakfastâ€"table not so cheerful as might have beenvexpected. Mrs. Vivâ€" ian was vexed at the general tacit antagonism.

Now, what was it all about ?" "Mark loves me, mammal!" whisperâ€" ed the girl." . j se "Now, that‘s the most absurd thing I ever heard!" "Why should he do that? It would be very unjust!" said Rosalie, raising her eyebrows with surprise. "Mark‘s own uncle!_ He will not pursue him Rosalie knew her too well and trusted her too thoroughly to feel any anxiety. She walked behind her, put her arms around her waist, and, bending forward, looked up smilingly into her eyes. _ _ 3 "You needn‘t think to get the betâ€" ter of me that way, Rose! It is ridicuâ€" lous,â€"I say!â€" What do you mean . to do with this love?" Rose folded both hands over her bosom with a look _ of unspeakable content.

He has many bad reasons for hating his nephew. He hates him for his principles, and, more than all, for having had the power to give up the beautiful India. Clement Sutherâ€" land worships his daughter; he hates Mark for not having laid upon her shrine the most precious jewel of his soulâ€"his integrity. And now, with the opposition of your guardian, what have you to expect in giving yourself to Mark Sutherland ?" â€" & "It is just madness! He has not a dollar!" "Yes, he has!

And now, amidst opposition, persecution, desertion, he must know that there is one who will follow wherever he leadsâ€"one heart that will cleave . to him in joy and sorrow, in life and in death." While this confidential conversaâ€" tion was going on between the young stepâ€"mother and her daughter, anâ€" other scene transpired in the study of Colonel Ashley. As that gentleman was leaving the breakfast room, a message was brought him from Mr. Clement Sutherland, desiring the favâ€" or of a few moments‘ private converâ€" sation with him. Colonel Ashley reâ€" turned word that he would be pleased to see Mr. Sutherland in his study. Thither he immediately proceeded, and thither soon followed his guest. At that very instant the boy brought the mail bag and handed Mrs. Vivian a letter. Her face flushed to the foreâ€" head; and, for the moment forgetful of Rosalie, she hastened to read it. _ Clement Sutherland entered with a foreboding scowl upon his brow. Colonel Ashley instantly arose, set a chair, and invited him to be seated. Clement Sutherland, without unâ€" bending the sternness of his features, bowed and sat down. "I trust you are in good health this morning, Mr. Sutherland," said the Colonel, urbanely. â€" 3 7 "I am well, sir," replied his guest,. coldly. "I was sorry to miss you at the breakfastâ€"table this morning. I trust my little girl made you comfortable in your own apartment?" "Thank you, sir." Colonel Ashley was silenced and reâ€" pelled for a little while by this churlâ€" ishness, but, speedily recollecting, inâ€" quired with some reserve ofâ€" manner: Now, Colonel Ashley might well have been provoked by the abruptness of this question to make some unâ€" pleasant answerâ€" but he replied with the utmost courtesy. â€"Looking at his guest, he said, slowly and with meanâ€" _"Can I be so happy as to serve you in any way this morning, Mr. Suthâ€" erland ?" "Who recommended that young man whom you have engaged as a tutor ?" asked Clement Sutherland. 17 177 eCys ing: "His name recommended him, Mr. Sutherland." "That is just what I feared. That is the one thing, unhappily, of which we cannot deprive him. Did you know anything of this young man‘s hisâ€" tory ?" "Nothing." "You fancied him a relative of ours ?" "Certainly." "Now, will you be so kind as to give me your attention for a few minutes ?2" Colonel Ashley settled himself â€" in an attitude of fixed interest and Cleâ€" ment Sutherland commenced a narraâ€" tive of some considerable length, which left Mark Sutherland with the character of a graceless son, a faithâ€" less lover, an unprincipled man and a mad reformer. "Sir, you should not give him houseâ€" room for an hour! He will pervert your children, steal the heart of your niece, sow fatal dissention between yourâ€"son and his wife, and incite your servants to revolt!" "Sir, an incendiary does not parade his combustible matter before your eyes, and look like he was going to fire your house!" _ 6 Colonel Ashley went through all the degrees of incredulity, doubt and alarm, exclaiming, "I should never have believed that of Him! He does not look like an incendiary!" § "I rather liked the young gentleâ€" man, I confess. Mr. Sutherland, I must say that you shock me beyond endurance. â€" You ruthlessly grasp subjects that a man of honor and deliâ€" cacy searcely likes to touch. You have dealt severely with the young man, also, in your speech. He may be an enthusiastâ€"enthusiasm is a fault appertaining to youth and genius â€"and, moreover, persecution is not at all to my taste; it is always the growth of cowardice. I do not fear that my children will be perverted, my negroes maddened,â€"my mniece inâ€" fatuated, or my son and his wife divorced by the presence of this highâ€" souled but mistaken young gentleman. I told you that I liked Mr. Mark Suthâ€" erland, and I cannot hate him to orâ€" der. Nevertheless, as it is not exâ€" pedient that one formerly betrothed of Mrs. Ashley should be here to anâ€" noy her by his presence, I will see the young gentleman and arrange the speedy termination of our engageâ€" ment." Mr. Clement Sutherland expressed himself satisfied, arose and left the room. Colonel Ashley remained in an atâ€" titude of serious thought, then he summoned a servant. "Go," he said to the man that enâ€" tered, "and. request Mr. Mark Suthâ€" erland to favor me with his company here for a few moments." The messenger went out. (To be continued.) Ancients Looked Upon It as Omen of Direful Slaughter. Many people believe that the aurora borealis is a phenomenon peculiar to modern times.. But this is not true. The ancients used to call it chasmata, bolides, and trabes, names which exâ€" pressed the different colors of the lights. The searlet aurora was looked on by the superstitious barbarians as an omen of direful slaughter; so it is not unusual for descriptions of bloody battles to contain allusions to northern lights. In the annals of Cloonâ€"macâ€" noise it is recorded that in 688 A.D., accompanying a terrible battle beâ€" tween Leinster and Munster, Ireland, a purple aurora lit the northern skies, foretelling the slaughter.

Many of the velour coats for chilâ€" dren of 10 or 12 years of age are made with considerable fullness, the skirt portion being cut circular, with a straight thread in front and the back seam cut on a true bias. For juvenile wear, the broad belt remains good style. A stunning coat of twoâ€"toned plush in brown has its skirt part extremely full, the sleeves are set in at the arm seye, and a standing collar of <fitch comes up straight and snug about the throat like a bandage. Another coat is beaver trimmed upon a foundation of Joffre blue broadcloth. The belt is novel, as it is very wide under the arms, and narrows front and back. Flat, smoked pearl buttons are used. Wideâ€"wale corduroy, trimmed with black skunk, is employed extensively. It wears well and looks well, and what more can mortal woman ask? Short hooped petticoats are attachâ€" ed to some of the abbreviated dancing frocks that have come from Bulloz. They produce a flaring silhouette that is very dancy and quaint. Tulle continues the best material for dancing gowns and designers have found that it is particularly beautiâ€" ful when draped over metallic tissues. The new evening frocks are elaborateâ€" ly trimmed with paillettes, and unâ€" usual laces and embroideries. s Velvet will predominate this winter and faille will be strong. A â€" petticoat, which is gorgeous enough to be a frock itself, is made up of peachblow silk, veiled in spangâ€" led tulle. The effect of iridescent fish scale spangles, rosyâ€"hued silk and white tulle is flowerlike and beautiâ€" ful. Another fancy petticoat is made of jetted net over black pussy willow taffeta, The flounce is outlined ‘ in close quilling. A charming costume in Nile green taffeta has the base of the skirt caught up with ovals of pink roses and leaves, giving a scalloped effect to the hem. The shortâ€"waisted bodice is decorated â€"with rosebudsâ€"white straps of crystal beads go over â€" the shoulder and end ix‘ tassels at front and back. There ‘are very short sleeves of Nile green tulle and a large butterfly bow with sash ends of tulle extends from the centreâ€"back closing. An afternoon dress of black crepe has a princess effect obtained by straight folds hanging from the bust nearly to the hem of the skirt, the fullness being held by a dull gilt girdle. A cuirass of taffeta is\ shrouded in crepe and headed by bands of dull gilt. Festooned crepe gives extra fullâ€" ness to the skirt. : A simple semiâ€"mourning dress on princess lines is of black ~crepe de chine with collar and cuffs of white organdie embroidered in black. A dress of striped poplin, brown and black, has an overdress effect shorter at the back than at the front. The sleeves and vestee are of crepe de chine. A model in white striped taffeta, brown and black, is cut with a very deep yoke empiecement front and back, but shortened very â€"materially on the hips. A full, cireular skirt joins the yoke and follows its line with two rows of piping on the hem to accentuate the fullness andâ€"shortâ€" ness of the skirt,. The chiffon drop sleeves have oversleeves of the silk. There are two styles of fur coats this year, the coat that fits and the coat that doesn‘t.. Both ripple in godet folds below the waist. _â€"â€"As for furs, two kinds are in vogue, caracul and Hudson seal, but this is only the first style feature of a fur coat, for they are to be trimmed with a contrasting fur this winter. The collar, which is a big, soft, high chokâ€" er, into which one can sink the chin; the cuffs, which are wide bands about the long sleeves, and the bottom edge of the fur coat are made of a conâ€" trasting fur. This contrasting fur on a Hudson seal coat is generally beaver, otter or nutria. II An attractive boudoir in very pale Fashion Hints Joseph Hamelix.. sys ns Nee ;f&&’gi U One of the most important things demanding the special attention â€"of the poultry raiser at this season of the year is the matter of developing the young stock and of securing rapid, healthy growth. There are several items of care and management which affect the growth of the young chicks but none is more important than inâ€" telligent feeding, and while this is true, it is well to remember that food alone will not accomplish the desired result. Our remarks at this time will be confined to the question of feeding, but we tannot refrain from calling attention to the fact that feedâ€" ing is not the â€"sole factor, as many people suppose, and who consequentâ€" ly do not get results because of lack of attention to other details. The list of poultry foods is long and is very generally known. Briefly, it consists of all kinds of grain, whole and ground, including small grains, such as buckwheat, millet, kaffir corn, etec. In addition to the various grains, there is green food, such as grass, clover, alfalfa and all kinds of growing vegetation and all root vegetables. Animal foods form anâ€" other important group, and under this head may be included all forms of insect life which is usally accesâ€" sible to fowls that have free range and the meat foods in the form of fresh meat scraps, which many poulâ€" try raisers can procure at a reasonâ€" able cost. There are also various meat meals, beef seraps and concentrated meat foods on the market that are of value if procured and fed in a fresh condiâ€" tion. Oil meal, linseed meal, cottonâ€" seed meal, etc., are valuable only as occasional additions to the rations, and they serve principally as bowel regulators. Condiments and similar prepared foods are not necessary and frequently are harmful in their effects. Skimmed milk, buttermilk, and other milk products are of value. The beginner in poultry raising is bewildered when he starts to investiâ€" gate the feeding question and is conâ€" fronted with the long list of availâ€" able foodstuffs. . He is apt to become discouraged if he gains the impresâ€" sion that he must have everything in the list, which is, of course, imposâ€" sible and undesirable. Each section of the country has its own local conâ€" ditions, and noâ€" matter where the poultry raiser is located, he can find sufficient variety in the foods at hand to serve his needs. He should not be misled into thinking that there is a set formula comprising a few special feeds, which is better than any other combination that can be secured.. We make that statement blue crepe de chine has wide, deep armholes, edged with ° fringe. The fichu shawl collar is also edged with fringe, which follows down: one side of the front opening. On the upper front, over the shoulders, and across the back there is a decorative design in rope silk embroidery of the same color. British Government Will Cut Down Expenses. That the British Government actuâ€" ally means business in its inauguraâ€" tion of a national campaign of thift is proven by the fact that, when, in the House of Lords, a resolution was moved in favor of economy in public expenditureâ€"the mover, Lord Midâ€" dleton, sharply criticising many imâ€" portant itemsâ€"the Government, inâ€" stead of resenting the action, actually accepted the resolution and made the vote in its favor unanimous. Lord Lansdowne, a prominent member of the Government, while declaring that the first rush of preparation for war meant extravagance and loss, yet adâ€" mitted frankly that there were ways in which present expenditures could be curtailed, and promised that the reâ€" solution in favor of economy should bear early fruit in the way of real economies. It is pointed out by the Economist, one of the greatest auâ€" thorities on financial questions in the world, that the expenditure of the Government has immensely increased on many new services, while old serâ€" vxces, ovn which economies might be expected, call for just as much money as ever.

Foods for Growing Poultry it means irreproachable quality and value. Bowel Regulators. | new expenditure is sharply questioned ‘and the use of the pruning knife to | bring the whole tree of public expenâ€" .‘ diture down to the requirements fixed iby present conditions is strongly reâ€" \ commended. because readers of poultry literature have no doubt found certain combinâ€" ations described and recommended as being the most satisfactory and proâ€" ductive of greatest results. They are therefore and do not know what course to folâ€" low. For the benefit of all such breeders and those who have not yet learned the facts, we wish to state that there is no one formula which can be said to be positively the best under any and all conditions.. What ’ has been said thus far applies to the food question in general, regardless of whether the object be to obtain in young stock or for any other special purpose. f Feeding for growth requires differâ€" ent rations than would be the case if the object was to fatten fowls or to encourage egg production.. The misâ€" take which most people make is to assume that fleshâ€"producing foods, orâ€" rather fattening foods, are more deâ€" sirable for growth than any others. They overlook the fact that growth means the development of bone and muscle quite as much as it does addiâ€" tional flesh and especially fat. Young chicks intended for broilers or fries may be confined and pushed to the limit with corn and other fattening rations, but much handling fits them only for table poultry, and they are ruined for other purposes. The young stock should be given as much range as possible, and the poultry raiser should ~start his plans with that thought in mind. A plentiful supply of green food should be within reach, and if it is not growing in the runs or yards, it should be supplied from the list of articles previously menâ€" tioned. e Readers who prefer to have & reguâ€" lar formula and who do not wish to be bothered with trying to provide a changing variety will find the followâ€" ing a most excellent combination: Cracked wheat, 25 parts; pinhead oatmeal, 15 parts; millet seed, 10 parts; granulated charcoal, 5 parts; chick size grit, 10 parts; buckwheat, 5 parts; rape seed, 5 parts; broken rice, 5 parts; cracked peas, 5 parts, , and ground beef seraps or other meat" meal, 5 parts. Some of the above articles are not easily obtainable in all localities, and the mixture should be made with the ingredients at hand and considering cost. A dry mash consisting of ground wheat, corn and oats may be kept in hoppers where the chick can go to it at will. A little granulated charcoal and cottonseed meal make a desirable addition to the dry mash; the former sweetens the crop and aids digestion and the latâ€" ter is a good regulator, Large Quantities Wanted for Making Explosives. There has been an unprecedented demand in the United States recently for blackstrap molasses. It is needed in making alcohol and is part of a forâ€" mula for the manufacture of powder. _ The price of blackstrap molasses has doubled since the orders began pouring in from the powder mills. As to where the powder is to be used he does not know, only that he also has received other orders for future delivery, and the sales are beâ€" ing made to several powder manufacâ€" turers not only near Cincinnati, but in other parts of the country. A Cincinnati dealer in sweets placed an order for ten tanks of 8,000 galâ€" lons each, or a total of 80,000 gallons of this blackstrap grade of Cuban molasses that is to be used byâ€"a large powder concern in the making of exâ€" plosives for war purposes. â€" This is the third large order that â€"yâ€" has been placed by the dealer within a few days.
