When they passed she stole back to the foot path and on again. About Kilcrumlyn farm the land was all dow n in meadow, and the fields were bordered by thick bosky hedges. Tall cocks threw shadows nearly across some of them, and the interspaces were very goldenly green with freshâ€"springâ€" ing aftergrass, under westering sunâ€" beams. _ On others the newlyâ€"mown swaths still lay in the soft waves, and the shorn sward underneath was palerâ€" hued, not bhaving bad time to thrust up any young blades since the sweep of the scythe went by. Along under the hedge the remnant of the meadow made . {ruge with feathery crescs, drooping and creamy plumes, tall stalks that unâ€" {urled white sunshades, and here and there a scarlet poppy. The drops of an early shower still twinkled beneath hem, and Rosanne‘s crisp pink calico s irt grew limp and bedraggled as she vrushed by. But she did not heed this, thereby, she wasn‘t sure tha_tks,{xo fully ; aud then she perceived that she bad indeed done a dreadful thing. 1 her haste she had emptied the wrong crock, and had thrown a week‘s gatherâ€" ing of cream to the pigsI How dreadful it was she could estiâ€" mate by the pride her mistr took in the row of rich, ,euow{" opped milk pans, the precautions with which she surrounded them, ber. wrath if any clumsiness imperiled them. {What would that wrath be now ? Rosanne made her mind up all in a minute not to lace it. _ She would run away home. It was no such great distance across the fields;<she might get there, ‘she supposed, before. it was quite »dark. the thougly ~ber father wouid be glad to see her, and, if so, her stepmothâ€" er musi perforce acquiesce. But at all events there was Dan McClean, who wouid be certainly ‘"as pleased as anyihin‘," and make much of her and take her part, whatever happénedâ€" Dan‘s stalwart frame held up the whole fabric of Rosanne‘s future. Beâ€" youd a doubt she had tost her chance of geiting a holiday in any other way, she thought, as she raced at full speed back to the house. For she had no tune to hesitate, as the discovery might at any imoment prevent her flight. Luckily, almost everybody was oul in the hayfield, and she got up to her aitic unpreceived. There she collected her few most cherished posâ€" sessionsâ€"the rest might be fetched afterwardsâ€"threw on her shawl and once more dared the creaking, clatterâ€" Ing stairs and the passage that led by the awiul dairy door. Fortune still favored her; she escaped all their perils and was presently scrambling through the gap in the briery hedge into the meadows at the back of the hay yard. She ran all the way through the {irst field, because she had such a vivid picâ€" ture in her mind of what might be at that very minute happening within doors. She could almost see Mrg. Conâ€" roy‘s face as she stared into the empty cream crock and hear her terrible call, loud and _ peremptory 1 "Rosanue! Rosanne !" ‘The mere thought of it made her scud along like a rabbit,. . r of sour skim milk; and after callâ€" r:g her in vain several times, she sent liittle Ned to find ‘her, and bid her come along out of that this instant. Ned delivered the message with the pithy addition: "~mhe‘s raging;," and soin (rightened haste Rosanne finished addressing her envelope with wili blots, and overset the ink bottle, an rushed away to fetch the bucket. When she reached the dairy she was relieved at finding nobody there to scold her, and, still hurryâ€"driven, sbhe filled her bucket and ran off with it across the yard. Rosanne rather liked seeing the pigs at their supper, they wriggled.so all over with enjoyment, and she now leaned against the styâ€" door to watch them. She began to sing Norah Creina, but in the midâ€" die of the first verse she stopped abruptly. _A frightful misgiving bhad suddenly seized her, come she knew mot whence.

But it was not Rosanne‘s way to think of more than one thing at a.time, so as it cccurred to her that John Gahan, who had called about the loan of a bay shaker, might post a letter for ber as he went home, she acted upon the idea without further reflection. She had her paper spread .out on the barre! stand,. agqd . craned her curly bead over it at unlikely angles as she enjoined Dan McClean to meet her at Hunt‘s, in Kilbracken, where the gig would drop her next Saturday evenâ€" Ing Rosan out among the haycocks and hedges. Everthing bad grown dimily green, soft and cool, and when she left off singing, not a sound was to be heard. But her thoughts were traveling through the scorching, hissing, whirlâ€" ing chaos into which this thunderâ€"boit of tidings bhad shattered the world beâ€" fore her. Dan, and ‘the little house of her own, and love and trust, and a fine wedding and the Aylesbury ducks Mrs. Conroy promised ber, and her pride in old Tim Donagh‘s remark that she had "Sure they was all talkin about it after mass," said Martha, ‘"‘and that evenin I taxed <the young feller‘s comin home.

"Maybe there is, and maybe there iâ€"n‘t," said Rosanne, defiantly. "It‘s no affairs of anybody s. Let other peoâ€" ple mind their own business, and I 1J mind mine.

And it s time for me to be runnin back, or else I‘ll be too late. So goodâ€"night to you kindlyâ€"och, don‘t be delayin‘ me, you ould tormint!" _ Rosanne whisked the corner of bher shawl out of Martbas detaininz grasp, and ran away down the field. As she went she struck up Norah Creina, and sang it lustily as long as she thought herâ€" solf within bhearing ; but her mind was not at all occupied with that gentle, bashfu! heroine.

The shadows lengthened silently all about, and the sunlit inâ€" terspaces seemed as they shrank to grow more jewelâ€"like in thei;fi glinting gold on green.

As long as he lived, Mr. Ayscough remained my true friend, and to him I owe much of the prosperity with which my later years have gappily been crowned. The End. The woman in question was a native of Westertield, and nad at one time been employed as housemaid at Stanâ€" dish, the seat «i tue Derome family. ‘SAhe had afterwards gone to London, where she had fallen in love with and married a worthless scamp, who in days gone by had been a gymnast in a cireus, but had latterly taken to more dubious modes of earning a livelihood. At length the hueâ€"andâ€"cry after him became so hot that be determined to go into close hiding for some time to come._ In this emergency his wile beâ€" thought herselif of the vault. of the Deromes in her native town as a likely spot where her husband could lie by ‘till the heat of pursuit should have ‘somewhat slackened. â€" Her residence at Standish had made her acquainted with the e).i»sw_xy,;a of the vauilt, and she was aware Lat the big oldâ€"{ashâ€" loned key â€"always hung on a certain nail in the armory: > Haying been somewhat of a favorite with the houseâ€" keeper at Standish, it seemed only naâ€" tural, ‘when she returned to Westerâ€" lieldâ€"where‘ she gave herself out as a widowâ€"that she should go up te the Hall to pay her respects to that pe:iy sonage. The opportunity was utiâ€" lt would seem that in the course of the man‘s professional career he had more than once personated an ape in a pantomime, and that he still reâ€" tained the tightâ€"fitting hairy dress and mask used by him for that purpose. Tired, and no wonder, of his long days and nights in the company of the dead and gone Deromes, it had seemed no more than a pleasant relaxation to the fellow to scare and terrify the good people of Westerfield as they had nevâ€" er been terrilied before and never have been since. _ When funds beâ€" gan to run low, an easy mode of reâ€" plenishing them was found in the conâ€" tenis of Lady Dacre‘s jewel case. Doubtless means and opportunities were not wanting for disposing of the diamonds and other gems which came into his possession on that occasion ; in any case, none of them were found on hiin at the time of his arrest. By this time she bad engaged humâ€" ble lodgings in the town, and ber husband bhad takem up his quarters in the vault, where he had a sufficiency of blankets and warm clothing, not to speak â€" of <a frequently repienished brandy flask, to keep him from sufâ€" fering from the chills and damps of his strange domicile. His food, which was bought in small quantitiecs at difâ€" ferent shops in the town,. so as to avoid suspicion, was conveyed to him by his wile at night; and as he knew exactly when to expect her, he placed his lamyp in front of the grating as a guide to her through the intricacies of the churchyard, the light being shut in at other times by an extemporisâ€" ed curtain. _ Both the man and his wife were aware that that side of the churchyard was overiooked by one winâ€" dow only, but as they never saw a light in it, they had come to the conâ€" clusion that the room to which it perâ€" tained was unoccupied. But not every nmight did the lamp shine through the grating. _ Sometimes the man met his wife at the low wall by the river, where there were no railâ€" ings, and where easy access could be had to the churchyard by day or night. It was only when he was too lazy, or otherwise disinclined for stirring out, that the signal was shown; whereby, as we have seen, came his own undoâ€" got the best lad on the townlandâ€"all were swept away from her, a@iM in their places seethed a flood of jealousy, rage and despair. As its first rush subsided, she recollected several things that seemed like disregarded warnings of Marthas news. She had wondered now and again that Dan had never managed to get over and see her beâ€" tween this and Easter ; and then the last time old Biddy Doran from his place was up at the farm he hadn‘t sent eer message by her at all. The reason was plain enough now.. And with that, Rosanne bethought her of the letter which she had sent by John Gaban, and which might be delivered by this time. Perhaps Dan was at that minute of time laughing with Maggie Walsh over the suggestion that he should be wasting his evening streelâ€" ing off to meet Rosanne Tierney at Kilbrackan. © Cock her up.

Liquid, homemade yeast was used, but cake yeast, if fresh and lively, is just as good. * An excellent beer for summer drink lacked the medicinal qualities of the above, but was more palatable. Boil a peck of bran and three bhandfuls of hops in two or three gallons of water until both sink to the bottom or do not float. Strain and add lukeâ€"warm water to make 10 gallons; when the whole is tepid, add two quarts of molâ€" asses and stir thoroughly. ‘When ferâ€" mentation ceases put into the cask a yeast cake dissolved in water.
