O course, after th‘is interview I was more shy chan ever of meeting Babjlole, and even when, on the se>â€" ond evening afterwards, I saw her stamding in the rose garden, apparâ€" ently waiting for me to come and speak to her, I pretended not to see her, and after examining the sky as if to make out the signs by which one might predict the weather of the morrow, I turned back to finâ€" ish my cigar in the drive. But the evening alter that I found on my table a great bowl full of fNowers from her own private garden, and on the following afternooan, while I was writing a lotter, there came pattering little steps in the hall and a knock at my open study door. "Come in," said I, feeling that I had gore purple and the thumping of my heart must sound as ijoudly as n traction engine in the road outside. "Why do you bring it to m», then ?‘ I asked as she put the littie blossom on the table beside me. "You should keep luck for yoursel{ and not waste It on a person who ‘doesn‘t deserve any.‘ she had gothing to say is this, so she only guve the flower a little push towards me to intimate that I was to enter into possession withâ€" out delay. I took it up and stuck it in the buttomhole of my old coat. "It has brought me luck already, you see, since this is the first visit I have had from you for I don‘t know how long," I eaifd, looking up at her, and roticing at once with a pang that she bad grown in ten days paler and altogether less radlant. Babiole came in very auietly, with a bright flush on her face and shy eyes. Her hands were full of tiny wild flowers, and among them was one little sprigl carefully tied up with ribbon. "I found a plant of white heather this morning on one of the hills by the side of the Gairn," said she quickly. "You know they say it is so rare that some â€" Highlanders say It brings them luck." _She blushed deeply at this, and, sllding down on to her knees, put her arms round Taâ€"ta and kissed the collie‘s ears. "Taâ€"ta has missed you awlfully," I went on: "she told me yesterday that you never take her out on the hills now and that her Cigestion is suffering in consequon‘e. She says her A COMFORT AND A CARE. "I haven‘t been out much lately," she said, in a low voice, "there has been a great deal to do in the cotâ€" tage, and here too. I‘ve been hemâ€" ming some curtains for Janet, and helping mamma to make pickles.

Oh, do I look white then !" And she began to rub her cheeks with her hands to hide the blush that rose to them. "Has your mother said anything to you about Aberdeen and the music I had turned my chair round to the fireâ€"place, where a little glimmer of fire was burning ; for it was a wet cool day. Babiole had seated herself on a high clothâ€"covered footâ€"stool, " Has your mpther been talking to you, Babiole ?" " Yes‘â€"as a guilty admission. * What did she say ?" " Oh, she talked and talked. This was why 1i didn‘t like to come and see you. You see, though I told her, she didn‘t understand, and that whatâ€" ever you thought must be right, yet hearring all those things made me feel that Iâ€"I couldn‘t come in the old way. And then at last I missed you soâ€"that I thought L would dash in andâ€"get it over." _ From which I gathered that Mrs. Ellmer had biabbed out the whole substance of our interview, and colâ€" ored it according to her lights, so I ventured : lessons *?

She looked up with a loving smile. ¢ Eo and Taâ€"ta sat between us looking from the one to the other and wagâ€" ging her tail to congratulate us on our return to the old terms of friendâ€" ship. The sky outside was growing lighter towards evening, and the sun was peeping out in a tearful and shameâ€"faced way from behind the rainâ€"clouds@. The girl and the sun together had made a great illuminâ€" ation in the old study, though they were not at their brightest. . C "Well, and how do you like the idea ?" "It is quite perfect like all your ideas for making other people happy." "I‘m ‘a{fraid I don‘t always succeed very well." * 4 This sye took as a direct accusaâ€" tion, and she bent her head very low away from me. 5 * Didn‘t you feel at all angry with me for somelhing I saidâ€"something I did ?" A pavse. Icould see nothing of her face, for she was most intent upon making a beautifully straight partâ€" ing with my inkâ€"stained old ivory paperâ€"knife down the back of Taâ€"ta‘s head. And the tears began to fall upon her busy fingers. I put my hand very gently upon her brown hair and could feel the thrill sent through her whole frame by a valiant struggle to repress an outburst of grief. _‘It scems such a long, long time to wait before that can happen," she said mournfully. j I hoped that the distress which could find this childlike outlet would be only a transient one, and I thought it best for her to let her tears flow unrestrainedly, as I was sure she had no chance of doing under the sharp maternal eyes. I continued to smooth her hair symâ€" pathetically antil by a great efâ€" fort she conquered herself and dried her eyes. "You are afraid then thatâ€"â€"" And I waited. "That he will never think of me again," she sobbed ; and unable any longer to repress her feelings, she sat at my feet for some minutes quietly erying. 4 m:\'mfilwa; 7r(-n'mrlmtil_v poor ambition to live upon, I thought to myaol{.

"I am a great baby," she said inâ€" dignantly; "as if I could hope that a very clever accomplished man, whom all the world is talking about, would be able to remember an ignorâ€" art girl like me, when once he had got back to London." "No, I don‘t want to do that â€" even if I could. I want to remember all he told mo about art and â€" about ideals, and so become an accomplished woman, so that I may meet him some day, ard he may be quite proud that it was he wha inspired me." So Mr. Seott had known how, by a little dash and plausibility, and by deliberately playing upon her emoâ€" tioms, to crown my work and to apâ€" propriate to himself the credit and reward of it all. pla d _."Well and you must pull yourself together and forget him," I said â€"I hope not savagely.

SKIN ON FIRE WITH ECZEMA Experienced men are able to solâ€" ect good cows with a reasonable amount of certainty, but the most expert dairy judge is largely at sea when he attempts to select a good bull by appearances alone. When we come to the question of raising good cows, we find that the only road to success is in breeding from cows of known capacity and from bulls whose female ancestors have also _ been tested for merit at the pail _ and | churn.

The wide chost, good heartâ€"girth, and generâ€" al appearance of vigor are the chief Indications of constitution. Other points largely indicative of producâ€" tion are: A wide strong muzzle; a comparatively open backbone or chine, indicating a tendency to make milk rather than fat; a capacious barrel, capable of making use of large quantities of feed, and a roomy,. wollâ€"shaped udder, with large mamâ€" mary veins and milkâ€"woells. A wellâ€" known Canadian brecder has tersely summarized these qualifications in the wordsâ€"a big mouth, a big belly, and a big bag.
