A great lilac bush shaded it, and some at the happiest hours of his life had been spent there. The moon was shining and the flowers were steeped in .giit. toring dew as the lovers walked through tho garden. It was a long good-night. They', stood under the 'rweet-tanelting lilac, and the moon- light seemed to soften Violet's heart just as it softened the beauty. ot her marvelous taco. "I am not surprised." she said. "I thought it was so. Violet is two hours later than she intended to be, and then does not return alone. That is like Violet." Later on in the evening Felix told his love story to Vio- lot'e parents, who were pleas- ed with it - pleased, but not elated. Violet was very lovely; she belonged to the gentry. Her beauty, ought to have done much for her. still Felix would certainly one day be the leading lawyer in Liliord. and the legacy had quite altered mat- ters. Bat for that and the part- nership. Mr. Haye would not have been willing for his daughter to en- gage herself to Felix Lonsdale ; how.. ever, in that country spot he was now it good match. They talked for some time about tho prospects of business, about the cottage orne, about Liliord. and then Felix knew that It was time Ior him to go. "It will ho 'only the foreshadowing of a, happy future, my Violet. Yes, I must tell them to-night. It would not be honorable to ekep silence; besides, I am so proud of the treas- ure I have won that I could not be sllent it I would." They Went back to The Limes; tea was ready in, one of the sunny little rooms that looked into the garden, and Mrs. Haye sat waiting tor her daughter. She smiled as the beautiful girl entered with her lover. Miss Lester was perhaps a trifle more disagreeable than usual tor the next two or three days, and then, to all outward appnarame. every- thing went on as usual at Outlnndl; And she answered him with a Imp. py smllo on her sweet face. "Always." They would always be friends: for she desired nothing better in life thn friendship of Felis, Lonsdale. But Eve smiled at him with her clear, tender eyes. " am my] pleased," she said. 'Por I know that you love Violet dearly." “We shall always be friends." tie told her. . "I am disappointed in you. Felix Lonsdale," she said. sharply.

A _ Outlands was " pretty form not more than half a mile from Lllford, and Miss Lester was supposed to have made money. She, with her niece, belonged to the gentry,but. owing to the elder woman‘s peculi- arities, the two ladies visited but seldom -and seldom received any visitors. “The boy has a beautiful face," she was accustomed to say ot him, "and beauty is a. woman’s gift." Bo, because he mm "a woman's gift" Miss Lester looked more kind- ly on him. She liked to see him at Outlands. She gave him any amount ot good advice; she was pleased that he should be atriend of Evelyn. No one was more delighted than Jane Lester to hear ot the le acy. but the engagement did not [genus her so well. Love and marriage were folly? in her eyes. If there was one man in Jane Lester’s eyes less contemptlble than another it was certainly Felix Lonndale. n was the puzzle of the whole neighborhood how. so sweet I. girl as Eve Lester could have grown up un- dce tho charge of one like her aunt Jane Eve was,~ not beautiful.

How Intensely the young farm.. em in the neighborhood detested Felix Lonsdale for having won beautiful Violet. Each one made up his mind that Felix Lonedale should do no more business for him, and wondered why she preferred a, law- yer to a farmer. All the old people thought it a most suitable alliance. Felix and Violet. they said. were. mum in position. anti marriages ot that kind were the beat. Molhexs who had daughters ot thtir own to marry were thankful that beautiful Violet could rival them no longer. The girls thought that Violet had won a prize, tor there was certainly no one in all tho country-side like Felix. Tliere was one pure. gentle heart to ‘whom the news of the engage- ment came like a. terrible blow. al- though it had long been expected. Evelyn Lester had never even owned to herself that she loved Felix Lona- date. yet when she heard the news it seemed to her that the bright face of hem-en was hidden from her by a dark funeral pail. Tlhey had all been children together, and in their child- ish quarrels it was always Evelyn who defended Felix. He could do no wrong in her eyes; in her opinion the wide world held no other so brave. so handsome. or so noble; and the childish love haul unconsciously Brown with hor-sho called it friend- ship, and believed it to be nothing use.

They should be mated with a first-class ram of similar type. and one of the some breed as the ewe nock, unless the farmer is crossing for some special purpose and does not intend to retain the progeny for breeding.
