Flaine‘s face grew crimson with inâ€" dignation now, but she did not utter the denial that sprang to her lips ; mnsidenly pride silenced it. "Let me go!" she said, panting a little, for no man saving her father had ever held her thus. "You have no right â€"â€"*" "Right! Yes!

"Your book," he said.

"May I ask if you are related to Major Delaine, of the 166th ?" fR & His voice was still grave, but its sternness was tempered by a genâ€" tleness which came as a kind of shock to Elaine. 2 "I am his daughter," she said, in a low voice. F8 "I thought you must be," he said. "I have not the pleasure of Major Delaine‘s acquaintance, but I have met Lord Delaine, and heard him speak of your father. I very much regret that I should have been the means of so much annoyance tohis daughter !" I It could not but strike Elaine that though he had refused to apolâ€" ogize to the captain he was doing so to her. And she felt that it was not fair. "I_â€" You were not to DMame." she said, with all a woman‘s deâ€" sire to do justice. "Exceptingâ€"â€"" And sho stopped; but he seemed to divine her meaning. $ "Forgive me," he said, his eyes sceming to penetrate hers and read the workings of her imind. "But you have acquitted me. If he only atarmed you there was sufficient exâ€" cuse for what I was beginning to think my impertinent interference. I wish you had let me drop him over. "Excepting in being too _ violent, you wert going to say," he said, with a ghost of a smile. "I plead guilty, Miss Elaine; but before yon pass sentence in your mind, please recoliect the situation.

The marquis glanced at the hill up which tho. captain‘s figure was slowly disappearing, and smiled, too. "I am afraid he is very angry," he said, but without much fear exâ€" pressing itsel{ in his voice. "I hope it will not causo you further trouâ€" bie.â€"â€"" "No, oh, no," said Elainc hurriedly. "If it should I shan‘t bo able to forgive myself. I have an ugly temâ€" per, Miss Delaine," he added. "But you don‘t need any information on that point, I‘m afraid." Elaine colored, and looked down. "I thoucht â€" I thought you were very cool and scliâ€"possessed," she vrentured to Ho laughed, th taugh.

"If I had not been here it would not have â€" happened," â€" said Elaine, blushing again,. and foeling angry with herself for â€" doing so. "It. is really all my fault. If 1 had not been trespassing." He stoppedl her with a gesture. "Ah. that‘s almost unkind," he said reproachf[ully. "You â€"remind me of the words I used to Captain Sherâ€" win. Youy know that I did not include you in ‘hem. Even in my mind. 1 hope that you will consider the Casâ€" tle grounds. and all that is in them, at your â€" absolute disposal, Miss Elaine.

As it sometimes happens, the barâ€" ber was disposed to talkativeness, the patient to silence. After several fruitless attempts to extract more than a grunt or two from the one in his care, the tousorial artist made a final effort to arouse the man‘s conversational powers. Patâ€" ting the top of the head gently he ventured the remark : "Der hair on «der top, sir, it is a ‘bit thinning outâ€"yes ?" "Yes." f > "Of der tonic, den, a little, ch?" ‘iNo..l I After another long pause : "Have it been bald long ?" The man smiled wearily. Then, afâ€" ter taking a long breath of preâ€" paration for his effort, he replied :â€" "I came into the world that way. Then I had an interval of comparâ€" atively hirsute _ luxuriance, but it was not enduriag. 1 have long since emerged from the griel of deprivaâ€" tion. It no longer afflicts me. Do not permit it to weigh upon you." The German pondered over this for a while without, however, apâ€" pearing to apprehend the meaning of the manm‘s words, "Der hair id look petter, sir, if berhaps you keep id long in der back like ?‘ he suggested after anâ€" other period of silence. The man removed his gaze from the floor, fastened it upon the ceiling, cleared his throat again and spoke once more: "Let me assurec you, my 10A8s0fâ€" inl friend," said he, "that the apâ€" pearance of: my hair, as I have been accustomed to «dress it is very satisfactory to myself, | and, perâ€" haps I might also say. to my friends.

I have had it pulled the wroug way by boys whom I dJearned to lick afterward. At the same period of my life I even endured the ignominy of hayâ€" ing it cutâ€"in ascending tiersâ€"by experimental â€" maiden aunts. The consequence of all this is that that bit of remaining hair and I are old, and, I trust, inseparable friends. I indulge the hair and the hdair induiges me. The hair indulges me to wear it after my own conâ€" ception of the way it ought to be worp, and 1 indulge the hair by firmly decliping to have it trified with by gentlemen of the scissore, who possess artistic ideas more biâ€" ozarre than my own.

To the Eaditor Sir,â€"To the beet growers, intending beet growers, and investors ol Onâ€" tario I address these lines: Tunose wiuo grew beets for sugar making last year know quite well how it resulted. To them I cannot tell more than they know, but they know perfectly well that the promâ€" ises made to them, so far as the amâ€" ount of money they were to receive from the beet sugar refineries, did not come up to their expectations, for the reason that they were docked at every turn; for & little bit of earth being left on the beet root and by being told that the root was not cut of{ short enough at the head or ar the foot ; thereiore the farmer did not obtain within 25 perâ€"cent. of what ie expected to obtain and was promised. % There are four beet factories now in operation in Ontario; there ase four more projected. World it not be weli for the grower of boet and the intending stockholder to â€" consider whether it be wise to put money into this venture? It can only, from the writer‘s belie{f, eventuate in one of two thingsâ€"the Government of the Dominion or the Provincial Governâ€" ment of Ontario must provide suifiâ€" clent money from the treasury funds to pay dividends to the stockbholder, or the business is a {failure. It stands to reason that when labor is so scarce and so highâ€"priced as voâ€"day it is in Ontario, and when iabor is so cheap in Europeâ€"agricultural labor being in Europe toâ€"day, where beet is grown, 30c per day for a man, 15¢ per day for a woman, and child labor 10c per dayâ€"we are working under a disadvantage. The buâ€"iness is not yet lested, and has to be tested. One other thing let us recall, the businesses and factOries which have been started were started by proâ€" moters, and the new ones which are being â€"advocated â€" are ailso being started by promoters. Their busincss is naturaily to obtain their commisâ€" sion, which amounts to a consider able sum, and to sell the machinery at au extremely high price, 25 per cent. above its worth, to the stockâ€" holders. F Wouid it not be well for those: who are thinking of taking stock in this venture, by growing beets or otherwise, to pause and find out what are the results of the . batâ€" ance sheets of the four factories now in the field, and see whethor money was really made by any Of them this season. The _ specious promises of the promoters might as well be taken with a grain of salt, and I think it behooves the intendâ€" ing beet grower and investor 10 think twice before he leaps.

Ants Form a Fungus in Which Their W inter‘s Food is Grown. The habitsg of the ant are an inâ€" teresting study to naturalists at all times. The ingenuity they disâ€" play in many things almost passes comprehension asd places them upâ€" on the hbhighest plane of inseet intelâ€" ligence. Recent study o these litâ€" tle creatures has added another to the many facts that show the intelâ€" ligence these insects possess. This latest discovery is that some speâ€" cles actually plant andi raise their own crops. MmAKE THEIROWN GARDENS The big leafâ€"cutting ant of the tropics is the most proficient speâ€" cles in the agriculitural line. These ants visit plants and cut little fragâ€" ments out of the leaves. <ometimes they will ruin a whols plantation over night, leaving the plants ragâ€" gied fragments ol their Joliage. Until resently it was supposed that the leat cutters ato the pioces of leaf. But now it is krown that they carry the fragments to thoir moun‘ls, where they chow them over and over, moistening them at the same time with acid secretions; until they have made a soft, spungy mass. This is kneaded and worked overand over again until it is a big heap Iwll ol small holes. In this spongy mass the ants deâ€" posit the spores of a certain funâ€" gus, wlhuch forms the groeater part ol their food supply. Diiferent epeâ€" clos of ants have dilferent species o funcus. y % The most highly developed of them all is grown by a Brazitian ant. It is known as the rozites gongilophora. This fungus is very rich and full of albumen, _ which is â€" particularly loved by the ants. To produce most album»n the funâ€" gus must not be parmitted to seed. Of[ course, this is a simple matter well . known to every ftorist . and agriculturist. But it certainly . is wonderful that ants should _ have learned it. They attend the prunin r o‘ the funâ€" gus stom and suckers just as cheerâ€" fully as a human planter would. As soon as the fungus Ibiog ns to grow it sends out fine threadâ€"4uke stems into the air. If these are allowed to grow they will ftinally noear spores. But the ants do not p>rmit them to Frow. Many Mistorrcal Wonders PDwarfed When Real Truth is Kkauown, Just as, some thirty years back, Sir Florelli, says the Boston Herâ€" aid, uncovered for us the ruins of iompeii, thereby enabling us . to form a very excellent iJdea of the appearance of a Roman town of the first century of the Christian era, so, Guring three years past, have the Germans been uncovering _ anclent Babyion.
