On telling him what he had done, after his return, Carl tacitly conâ€" sonted. He was glad enough to have thi.a daughter become learned and acâ€" complished, but a feeling of bitterâ€" ness had loug since begun to rankle in hie hearli as he realized that she was ‘being, lifted far above him, both socially and intellectnally, and that, when her éducation should be comâ€" pleted, and she came back to live with him, tho luxuries to which she had become accustomed, and which it would be beyond his power to give her. Then, too, the burden of obligaâ€" tion to his cousin irritatsd and opâ€" pregsed him, and he felt that fate had been very partial and unjust in showering so much upon his relaâ€" tive, while, during most of his life, he had been ground down beneath the: iron heel of poverty. _ And thus constantly brooding over these imaginary ills, the old jealousy of his boyhood began to develop, unâ€" til a fierco and secret hatred took possession of, him, and he began to develop, until a fierce and secret Latred took possession of him and ho began to plot the destruction "of his employer and the benefactor of bis child with a view to building a future and a fortune for Inez, such as even hér ambitious mother had crever dreamed ofl. . Mionica and Inez King both became favorites, each in her own . specigl waxy, in the educational instituâ€" ‘tion which they had entered. _ Inez was lionized, by a certain other set, for ‘her dash and spiritâ€" because she was always ready to lead in every form of hmusement, mnd spent money lavishiy to tickle "Ahe palates of her devotees. _ . Morica was liked, by those conâ€" gerial to her, for her_ invariable eweetNess and gentleness, for her unaesuming ways, hor unfailing symâ€" pathy and readiness to help any one in trouble.

Yet every one in thhe institution believed them to be sisters, for Mr. Kingbwou‘ld not allow it to be known that‘ tho giri was dopendent upon bis bounty:; indeed, one, toâ€"see the two together, would have supposed Inez to be the favorite, for she was always more showlly and richly clad than Monica, for, although . * their‘ allowance was the same, the taste of the latter was far more simple. Thus every| one supposed them to bo equal heiresses to the large forâ€" tune which Mr. King would leave, and they woere treated accordingly. In Mr. King‘s empoyâ€"aAs a sort of private clerk in his hougeholdâ€"there was a young Mexican, whose grandâ€" father had once been a distinguished hidalgo of Spain ; but repeated misâ€" fortuwnes had gradually reduced the family to almost abject poverty.

Aithough lu\ bad been geprived of educational adâ€" vrantages during bhis youth, his moâ€" ther had gone what she could for him, grounding him well in certain studies; but, after receiving _perâ€" mission to make free with Mr. King‘s tibrary, bhe had bacome an assiduâ€" ous reader and student of good litâ€" erature, and tins had gone much JOP bim. Monica was about pine years of age when he entered the famiiy, and from the first he had been very‘ fond of the lovely: child, and this affeceâ€" tion hbad gradualily ‘increaaed unâ€" til, when she was about to leave home for the school in Los Angeles, he suddenly discovered that he igolizâ€" ized her with all tho passion and tire of hbis Spanish nature. But a sense of chivalry| and of loyâ€" alty to the man who had ‘befriended him, caused him to conceal the fact in bhis own bosom ; and no one, not even the object of this fervent afâ€" fection, dreamed of its existence. With Inez he was upon friendiy terms, for she was always pleasant and chatty, and ready 10or a good time wherever she could find it; and she was not above coquetting with her _ bencfactor‘s clerk, although ghe would have scorned any! serious attentions from him.

TK ame P At the usual hougt. late in the afterâ€" noonr, he drove to the mine, hitching his horses before the offices which was located only a few rods from the entrance to the tunnels. _ °_ *Entering the office, he inquired of the clerk where Mr. King could be found, & The man said he did not knowâ€"he had been in and out of ‘the office several times during the afternoon, although it was an hourâ€" or more eince he last saw him. f Feeling strangely restless, August went outside and walked back and forth upon thtb rude piazza for seyâ€" eral minutes. « 1 C $ The days were getting short, and it wad Tast growing dark ; besides, gatbhering clouds indicated rain, and po felt mnxious to get home before it ghould be too dark to see the road.

August inquired of him. ®.{ s h: 1x ; The Coâ€"operative Planâ€"Dividâ€" ends from Power Spraying. On Sept. 21 the farmerg in the vicinâ€" ity of Ingersoll, Ont., assembled â€"to the number of about 75 or 80 to ispect the work done by the power spraying outâ€" fit managed in that division by the Doâ€" minion frouit division. The object of the demonstration was to sho‘w that sprayâ€" ing might profitabily® be done as threshâ€". ing is usually done in western Ontario, one man taking the contract of doing the work of a large number of his neigh; bors. A circuit embracing 3,300 trees was contracted tor, and Mr. J. C. Harris was employed to do the work. He sueâ€" ceeded in spraying the whole number of trees four times with one outfit at, a vost of something less than 20 cents a tree. Tpe apples in the unsprayed orâ€" chards in that district are so_scabby as to be practically worthless, The conâ€" trast between the sprayed and unsprayed l fruit is therefore very marked. ________ The audience assembled at 1 o‘clock at the orchard. of Mr. J. C. Norsworthy and inspected very carefully a large number of trees, counting and grading® the apâ€" ples. Some unsprayRd orchards were visâ€" ited and again some sprayed orchards, until six or seven*<had been inspected. The results may be summed up as folâ€" lows: In the sprayed orchards 90 per cent. of the fruit would grade No. 1, whlie in the unsprayed orchards not more than 15 per cent, would grade No. 1. In gome cases only 10 per cent. of first class fruit was found, and on some trees it was difficult to discover a perfect apple. The cost of spraying was about 20 cents per tree, or 10 cents per barrel, and it is a very fair estimate to say that for every 20 cents expended in \sprnying there was an increased value of about 81. SELLING APPLE CROP. The inspection was witnessed by Prof. Hutt, 0. A. C., Guelph; Mr. G. A. Putâ€" nam, supcrintendent of Farmers‘ Instiâ€" tutes; Mr. P. W. Hodgetts, secretary of Ontario Fruit Growers‘ Associa}ion, and a half dozen correspondents of agrizilâ€" tural papers. Cay 5 Incidentally many points in generai orchaid culture were taken up. Prof. Hutt drow attention to the fact tna® cven though cultivation and pruning were neglected in some of the spraying orchards, the trees were well loaded and the specimens large. He pointed out that had the season been dry thesefine samples could not have been obtained. Mr. Putnam spoke of the seccess which had attended the operations of the Fryit Shippers‘ Associations, of â€" Walkerton, Chatham and St. Catharaines, and especâ€" ially commended this system of disposâ€" ing of their fruit, _ _ ulcA .. Mr. McNeill spoke briefly on the topic How to Sell the AAle Crop. He strongly commended selling in bulk. By this method the farmer was selling a product, the quantity of which he was not in a position to estimate, to the buyer who had spent years in buying and was very apt in estimating the quantity of apples on a tree. He also condemned selling apples with the understanding that they be picked and piled on the ground ustil the rackers came to pack them. This usually resulted in the loss of 50 per cent. A much better plan for the farmer was to pick, pack, grade, and mark his own fruit, and then offer it for sale. The best was was, undoubtedly, the forâ€" mation of a coâ€"operative selling society, which would erect storehouses and packâ€" inrg sheds at some central place, and have the fruit packed and graded by men who were used to the work. This method would not only effect a great saving in the quantity of fruit to be marketed, but by giving a large number of packâ€" ages of one variety and of uniform grade would attract larger buyers and secure better prices. With reference to the crop around Ingersoll this year, Mr. MeNeill said that he could not conscientiousl urge buyers to makeé an offer, imsmuc§ as in the unsprayed orchards there was almost nothing to buy. NMany of the sprayed orchards had been sold, and no doubt with proper management the rest could be sold, though the individual farmer was at a disadvantage as comâ€" red with the coâ€"operative associations. gf‘ouu very tn{ly, W.

At last the doctor gave her up, and said further ~visits were futile. The poor gitl’i limbs were pitifully swollen and inally burst below the knees. She sat helpless and weak, gasping for breath, umr at times could breathe at all only with the greatest difficulty. One night the neighbors came in and said she could not live till morning. But toâ€"day she is alive and well, moving about among her young companions a remarkable and mirâ€" aculous contrast to what she then was. The reporter called one evening at the Hilton home, but Miss Florence was uot visiting. The father _ and mother were in, however, and freely told him of the cure, which they attribute entirely to Dr. William‘s Pink Pills. The first box was brought to her by her grandmother, who urged their use. Then Mrs. Hilton herself remembered that she had the previous winter been cured by Dr: Williams‘ Pink Pills of a slight atâ€" tack of dropsy, and also remembered the many cures advertised in the Post. She bought two boxes and Florence +ook ‘tlfem, three pills at a dose. In two weeks she felt a slight decrease in the pain in her limbs, and more pills were procured. For five monthsâ€"five long pain‘laden monthsâ€"the weery girl had. sat day and night in her chair, but now she began to feel the pain leaving her and to see her limbs resume their natâ€" ural size.
