I stood quite still, not afraid. but wondering who it could be, when, to my intense surâ€" prise, I saw Prudence, the old serâ€" vant, who slept in the haunted wing, as the other gervants would persist in paming that closed and dreary part of the house. She was moving stealthily along, and I folâ€" lowed her just as nqgiselessly. . She went inio the kitchen and the larder, and filled a large basket she held on her arm. At the slightâ€" est sound she started and seemed wheasy. No one, to have seen her as I did then, could have thought ber deaf or shortâ€"sighted; on the contrary, she looked like a person whose every seose was on the alert. When she left the kitchen, I followâ€" ed her through the long passages, through the whole front of the building, and saw her open the door that led into the western CHAPTER IIL I could not sleep last nightâ€"I could Bot res‘.

I had never known the servants to be so negligeat before. I have often thoucht since what a fortunate thing their negligence was, both for myself and ihose dear to me. I bore the pain as long as I comld ; then there seemed no other resource, save to grope my way down into the kitchen, where ihere was water in pleonty. A lamp. a very heavy one, was alight in my room, but I had neither taper npor canmdle, so that Icould not take & light with me. I never was a coward, and I had no fear of groping along the many dark passages that lay beâ€" tween hy room and the kitchen. I determined to move very quietly, for fear of disturbing the servants, and causing, what I dreaded above all things, a fuss ard a scene. I found my way safely enough, filled my large jug with clear, cold water, and was returning to my room when I heard a slight noise as of wome one coming along the grand passage, as it was calledâ€"the one that led to the front portion of the do anything now that the hope of some time winningâ€" her was his.

There was no indorsement upon it to give me any clue as to what it was I unrolled it as I had done the others, amt behold it was a. plan of Woodâ€" leigh Grange, a very elaborate one, whereon every room, passage and window was noted and described. From mere curiosity I began to exâ€" amine it. 1 was astonished at the antiquity of the building. I found that the eastern and the western wings had both been built during the reign of Chirles 1., ostensibly for increase of accommodation, but in reality the western wing was full of secretl passages and closed rooms that had been used to shelter Royalâ€" ists in time of danger. There was one room in which Charlesâ€"Stuart, the ‘"Merrle Monarch," had lived for a whole month, while the soldiers of the Commonwealth were in hot purâ€" suit after him. The chouse had been searched while hewas hiddenâ€"~seâ€" curely in It. This room was called "King Charles® room." I _ wondered who the architect of the builing was, for anything more skilfu‘ly contrived to me seemed impossible. > P I met the old woman a few days afterward and exchanged a smiling goodâ€"morning with her. . I _ was obliged to shout in her ear, and even then she appeared to have great cifâ€" ficulty in understanding me. "Are you not frightened at the ghosts in the western wing?" I asked, light coming into his face as though he hoped she was then and there about to tell him fhat she would make him happy at last. Allan Charltâ€" toun called eyery day, but he rememâ€" bered the old man‘s admonitiony and, despite lhfs imp«tience, he never spoke of love. One week of the month had already pasgsed, and neither help not ald seemea to be coming to save my poor child from her steadily advancâ€" ing fate. p At the Cottage there was a lull afâ€" ter the recent tempest. Blanche had asked for a month in which to conâ€" sider the vexed proposal. Mr. Carew had promis@dher that during that time he would refrain from speaking of the subject that filled his whole soul. He did not in words, but the wistful look of those pitiful eyes as be watched «his daughter‘s {face through the livelong day, was far more pathetic than any words.

A large bunch of _ keys harging in her room afforded a good beginning. 1 asked her i those were the keys of the house, and she reâ€" plied, curtly, "Yes, they are." _ "What do your ghosts do?"

J quesâ€" tioned, â€" with a smile, and at my chance words I saw a strange look cross his face, and I knew that in some way br other I had unwittingâ€" ly aispleased him. I could not forget the expression of Allan Chariton‘s face when he deâ€" clared that he detested the house, and woukl never bring his future wife there.

A dozen years ago there was no exâ€" pressed objection to cheese characâ€" terized by a distinctively strong iflavor, but there toâ€"day the acâ€" tual demand is confined to cheese ‘Of mild flavor and solft body. Durâ€" ing the last two years complaints have been increasing that Canaâ€" dian cheese apriving in Great Britâ€" aln has been "heated in _ flayvor," and the public generally have "cried off." But that check is ounly temporarys Canadian cheese has gained too sure a footing in the â€"mearkets and homes of the mother country to be ousted _ altogether, If a temporary lull in demand will induce Canadians to supply the quality and flavor desired. And this is exactly what it is doing. Our only Mtrong Foreign Competitor in the British market is New Zeaâ€" land, the cool climate of which is suitable for curing cheese with a mild flavor. Mild flavor and soft body cannot be produced in cheese under ordinary conditions of manauâ€" facture on a commercial scale, unâ€" less the temperature be kept durâ€" ing the curing process not over 65 degrees Fahrenheit. Thecool transâ€" Atlantic transportation problem was solved by the Dominion Parliament of Agriculture last season, by the introduction of cooled air accomâ€" modation on ocean steamers, and for the first time it became pracâ€" ticable to ship in safety to the United Kingdom cheese of softer and richer body than has hitherto been possible. A profitable market awaits us across the Atlantic; the hitherto wide impassable gull to safe transit has been permanently bridged ; and the cure, in every sense, for Canada‘s present ailment in the cheese trade, is at hand in an organized system of consolidatâ€" ed cheeseâ€"curing roowms. Will ‘Whis Annovation Pay * \ Wil! the flame be worth the candle ? The reply is obvious by comparison. The average price of aummerâ€"made cheese from the best dairies in Engâ€" land and Seotiand during the pacti two years has been from 2 cents to. 4 cents per pound higher than the average price paid for summer cheese from the good factories in Canada. By making our cheese of a softer body and by curing it at a lower temperature, it can be manulactured in quality equal in ever respect to the British product, ard the only reaâ€" In a tis'q’nt ‘article Tâ€"éalied atâ€"â€" tention it6 the dekirabllity: of «eut: ting bhay at a comparatively carly stage of maturity. In this connecâ€" tion it may be of some, inter% to have some notes !b; that "‘wellâ€" known farmer and Institute spea kâ€" er, Mr. Henry Glendenning, of Manâ€" llla, Ont., in regard to his‘ expériâ€" ence with a new plan of curing clover hay. Mr. Glendenning says that he prefers to cut clover hay wlten it is in full bloom, or when the blossom contains the greatest amount of honey. Cut in the mornâ€" ing, after the: dew is off, that which is cut in the forenoon may be raked up immediately after the neon hour, and put in cocks. The mower should not be run dlater than 4 o‘clock p. m., and all put into cocks before the dew falls, This hay should be put into the barn next day, and Third. If any hay should get wet with rain, let it stand in the cocks until thoroughly dry before taking to the barn. Last season Mr. Glendenning put up some 75 to 80 tons of hay in thisâ€"â€"way, and reports that it came out of the mows in the finest conâ€" dition he ever saw. It was as green This plan can be continued from day to day, until all is stored in the barns. Three things must be borne in mind in curing hay by this method : First. Do not cut the grass until dry in the morning. Becond. Do not allow the freshâ€" cut hay to lie on the ground over night, exposed to dew. or rain. as when put into the barn, and the leaves and blossoms were all atâ€" Well Tramped Into the Mows. w"4y it cannot be expected to IS IT A CURE ? l ",Poor Joneés is growingt worke ang worke with his epilepsy> â€"He‘ cannot "Iive much longer." | " You are mistaken.

All these patients were found to be suffering from Bright‘s discase, In describing the new treatment a Philadelphia physician says: ‘"The process is to split the membrane off the affected kidney and sew it to the muscles of the back. The irriâ€" tation thus created causes the growth of a new set of blood vessels, and the effect is to imbue the orâ€" gan with new life. In a few days the swelling disappears, and from that time on the improvement is so rapid that the patient is usually able to leave the hospita1 in from two to three weeks. The new method~ is still in the experimental stage, but hent rescits have been obtaine€g by ,!t_c use," The inevitable, and what is more important, the immediate indirect, benefit from the establishment of these central curing rooms is that they will impart to English imporâ€" ters, who have been complaining, and losing both money and customers by heated cheese, an expectation of imâ€" provement in the quality, as they will fully restore confidence in the permanency of the Canadian trade with the old homeland. The modus operandi at these places will be this. The Department of Agâ€" riculture will collect the cheese from each factory and will cur» it in the most approved manner. The charge made for the collection and curing o# the cheese will only be a sum equal to the value ol the saving in shrinking in weight. The cheese manâ€" ufacturer will be expected to pay the department the price of first class cheese boxes, and for that conâ€" glderation the Department will botB provide boxes and will box the cheese, Under this system the cheese will continue the property of the patâ€" rons of the cheese factories, and will be at the disposal of the same salesâ€" man as would be appointed by them under ordinary circumstances. tached | to ‘the, zuum ) It ‘appearéd *tofi.ra_,.-.,»f, [ ftikh} ~(F Driea Out"k'lt out Much Heating as all of the alsike blossoms woere pink, and the red clover blossomse were from a pink to a I',ht amber color. If any great heat had deâ€" veloped in the mow the blossoms would undoubtedly have been of a dark brown color. . No . signs of mould were visible, and the hay was very free from dust. No salt, lime â€" or other preservative was used. Two of the mows in which the hay was stored are 22 x 25 feet, with an average depth of 30 feet of hay. These mows are tight floored with double inch boards over basement stables. _ Another mow is 24 x 36 feet, with a depth of about 24 feet, and the floor on the ground. The outsides of all the mows are of inch boards without battens, with cracks between the boards averaging about threeâ€"eights of an inch, just such as are usually found in the orâ€" dinary barn. The sides of the mows next the drive floor were open. The hay, which consisted of red clover, alsike,. and a little timothy, was equally good in all parts of the mows. Mr. Glendennoing says that he know» of three other {farmers who have folâ€" lowed this system for several yeare with equal success, and it would seem well worthy of trial by our farmers generally. Among the advantages of this method of curing clover are: (1) The saving of time between cutting and storing in the barn ; (2) The fact that all of the leaves and blossoms, which are the most valuable portion of the plant, are left on the hay, instead of being lost in the field as iÂ¥ often the case when the ordinary, manner of curing is followed. (3) The hay is much cleaner and brighter than when cured in the old way. F. W.

The Dominion Department‘s experâ€" imental plan is to have a central conâ€" solidated curing room, of sufficient capacity to handle cheese from about ten emall factories, put up at some central place adjacent to a railway station, Under any circumstances the cheese would have to be taken from the factories to a railway staâ€" tion at some time, so that unden this system they would be takep when only a day or two old instead of being left in a warm curing room, under unsuitable conditions, anyâ€" thing from two to five weeks. The Honorable the Minister of Agrtâ€" culture always recognizes that to be practical is to be prompt ; and this enring four such consolidated curing rooms ‘will be established by his Deâ€" partment, located respectively at Rrockville for eastern Ontario ; at Woodstock for western Ontario ; and at Ste. Hyacinthse and Cowansvilie, in the Province of Quebec. 4 Kecording to ‘Darwin! The Plan Proposed. .
