"I do not think I am, Hooper." "I dare say not, only you see she is all wrong about timeâ€"a minute or an hour, it‘s all one to her. I never thought you would see her alive.

Mona empioyed the interval passed in the darkness and solitude of the cab which conveyed her.kome in a resolute effort to regain her selfâ€"possession. She dreaded to meet grannie‘s keen, observâ€" ant eyes; she dreaded, too, the mood which her severe losses would most probâ€" ably have induced. _ Mrs. Newburgh, though generally keeping herself well in hand, had her tempers, and Mona became a favorite chiefly because she was not frightened by them. She was far from realizing as yet the total loss which had befallen. ® e "Welcome, my fraulein. I hope you are not fatigued." *"Yes, a little, Woehner. How is my grandmother®" "Better, my fraulein, but weak. ah, very weak! She is looking anxiously for you. If you get into the cab, 1 vili find your baggage." _ As a porter threw open the carriage door, a respectable foreignâ€"looking man, somewhat tanâ€"colored in complexion, and pearâ€"shaped in figure, growing small to the feet and spreading out roundly above, put him aside. Raising ‘s hat, he said in German: It was quite dark St. Pancras; she was profoundly still. . turned At all ‘grocers. when Mona reached utterly weary, and | The house in Green street having been _ bought by her, Mr. Oakley adviseg Mrs. _ Newburgh remaining in it till obliged to turn out, as she was rent free.

Mrs. Newburgh had borne the wear and tear of time well, and, having accepted her age without a struggle for youthful apâ€" pearance, did not look her seventyâ€"six years. Now she might have been a hunâ€" dred. Her checks seemed thin and more sunken wrinkles had come about â€" her mouth, the muscles of which were reâ€" laxed into a downward curve; her face was deadly white; her keen dark eyes were dim and frightened; the hands which lay on the table were yellow and tremulous. Mona‘s heart thrilled with pity at the sight of such a wreck. gaze; and she learned that besides the considerable sum absolutely paid on the purchase of shares, there was a terâ€" rible liability in the shape of "calls" to the full value of these shares; and as a banking business was connected with the gold mine association, Mrs. Newburgh‘s whole property was subject to the deâ€" mands of depositors, and that she could not call a farthing her own. The explanations of Mrs. Newburgh‘s trusty solicitor were indeed a revelation to Mona. The mysteries of the stock market were unfolded to her wondering "ia would be best," murmured Mrs. Newburgh, gladly resigning herself to her granddaughter‘s guidance. " I do not want much; but for youâ€"ah, Mona! it is hard. You must pay Hooper and send her away, and Wehner too; we want no menâ€"servants now." There was a long pause. Then _ Mrs. Newburgh began with an effort to exâ€" plain how matters stood. It was pitiable to hear how she lost the thread of her narative and struggle to regain it â€" how she called people by wrong names, and repeated herself over and over againâ€" insisted on having the money counted out before her, and strove to separate it into difierent portions. At last she perceived her own inability to convey her meaning, and leaned suddenly back in her chair. ° "Everything fades from me," she said; "yet I am not an imbecile." "No, no, dearest grannic. This confuâ€" sion is only from physical weakness. Do not try yourself any more. I will write to Mr. Oakleyâ€"to your solicigorâ€"to come here toâ€"morrow; he will put things in order, and teil me what we ought to do. Let me lock up all these papers and the money, and give you some dinner or tea or something. Thinking will do us no good. Toâ€"night I will tell you all about Lady Mary and my visit, then I will sit by you till you are asleep. Hooper shall put the chair bed beside yours. I shail sleep here toâ€"night." > "But grannie dear, you do not know what prince in disguise I may captiâ€" vate," said Mona, rising and drawing a chair beside her. "Penniless girls marry often." She would have said anything to cheer her. "Ah, but no jewel looks well if it is not well set. Men may not want money with their brides, but they are almost always repulsed by mean surroundings. I see no hope anywhere. Nonaâ€"none." "You little knowâ€"you little know," murmured Mrs. Newburgh. ‘Thank God, I have few debts. I thing I have paid every oncâ€"intending to go abroad for some months. This has been an expenâ€" sive year, and there was no time for you to make a good alliance. No timeâ€" no time." "Foolish, hasty child," murmured Mrs. Newburgh, laying her hand tenderly on the young head pressed against her. "I believe you love me a little." And the poor, death lit face brightenâ€" ed for a moment, as the skeptical, world hardened woman caught a breath of the divine consolation human love _ alone can give, and which all the kingdoms of this world, and the glory of them can not replace. "I do love you, dear. I will do whatâ€" ever you wish; and do not be so cast downâ€"something will be arranged for us. We can go away and live in the counâ€" try, then we shall not want expensive dresses, andâ€"" € "Forgive you," cried Mona, sinking on her knees and clasping her arms round her trembling grandmother. "What have I to forgive? Rather let me pray your forgiveness for my want of obediâ€" ence and submissiveness. Where should I be but for you? I owe you everything. Send away Hooperâ€"I will be _ your maid, your nurse, your servantâ€"anyâ€" thing that can help or comfort you." "Oh, grannie!lâ€"dear grannie!" _ was all she could say, coming quickly to her, and gathering up the cold, withered hands into her own, as she kissed _ her cheels. to struggle any longer. I have fought & brave fight, but fate is against me. Mona my child, can you forgive me for losing the little fortune I intended for you. Somebody told me I ought to draw out of that companyâ€"I forget whoâ€"I forget all names; but I thought I might wait a little longer, the intorest _ was so high, and I have beggared you. Can you forgive me?" "Poor, dear grannie! I will go to her at once!" "Won‘t you have a cup of tea first, miss? You are looking dreadful bad." "No, thank you, Hooper." She went quickly upstairs to her grandmother‘s room, and, having paused for a second at the door, went in softly. Mrs. Newburgh sat at a writing table covered with letters, papers, accounts and cheque booksâ€"some notes and gold at her right hand. She was wrapped in "I thought you would never come," she whispered, brokenly. "Do you know that everything is gone?â€"everything. We can not stay here, This is the last money I can call my _ own"â€"and she freed one hand to clutch the gold notes. "I don‘t seem able to understand the figures or anything. You will not leave me, Mona. Hooper is so cross that" â€" gathering force by a supreme effort, and speaking with something of her natural decisionâ€""I should in any case dismiss her; for me all is over. I am too old The old lady clasped her almost conâ€" vulsively. _ Â¥ & would keep her in bed this afternoonâ€" she got up and dressed." ' While these changes were going on, | Mona wasd profoundly anxious about her grandmother. At times she was keen, ! eager, fully alive to what was going on; | then a cloud would gather over her poor | brain, and things seemed to slip from | her. She could not bear Mona out of her sight, and was reluctant to let any other relatives ‘approach her.

Leave all curtains up, with possible exception of bedroom. This often fools a burglar. Don‘t walk close to a building after dark; give an alley a good margin, These are all very well as far as they go, but we can suggest just one which would make all the others unnecessary. It is this: Don‘t be impolite to a burglar if you find one in the house. Invite him to take it all, and the first chance you get run to a neighbor and call the police. Don‘t scream in the presence of a burgâ€" lar or a holdâ€"vp man. If he is an amaâ€" teur he may lose his presence of mind and hurt you. _ ® xsd Don‘t trust a stranger because he is well dressed. The immaculate thicf is dangerons; the ragged one is generally harmless. SOME CHICACO DON‘TS. As the city police do not provide sufâ€" ficient protection, residents of Chicago have been compelled to establish private police forces, each of which guards a small nceighborhood. As an outgrowth of this need of selifâ€"protection the Chiâ€" cago resident has anforced unon him a list of aon‘ts of which the following is a sample: Don‘t let mail accumulate in vestibule mail boxes. Have the janitor remove it when you are away or it will serve as a notice to flat workers that you are out and the coast is clear. Don‘t leave directions to your grocer on the back door. This is ancther tip to the burglar that you are out. Don‘t open the door to any one after dark without knowing who it is. Call through the tube or ask behind the locked door. "But, my dear madam, some steps must be taken to provide for the future." "I wish nature would {vrovide for me," returned Mrs. Newburgh, with a deep sigh; "I am a helpless incumbrance now." "I am sure no one else thinks so," said the solicitor, soothingly. "Is there not some balance at your banker‘s that you might place inâ€"say Sir Robert Everard‘s hband, just to secure some ready money ?" "I will see; I will look into my acâ€" counts, but for the present I am too tired to discuss anything further." | i â€"the blood is out of orderâ€"a complete breakdown may result. To put matters right; to give that «pring to the step; that clearness to the skin and that glow of active health to the face, a tome is neededâ€"Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pillis are needed.. As proof of this, Mr. Charles Diefenthal, 12 St. Ursule street, Quebec, says: "Frequently my studies necessiâ€" tated my remaining up until a late hour. The result was that my system gradually weakened, and in December, 1903, 1 seemed to collapse. 1 was completely run down and went under the care of a doctor, but instead of gaining strength, I seemed to grow weaker. I could not take solid food, dlid not sleep well, and weakening night sweats gave me further cause for alarm. Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills were brought to my nctice and I began their use. Almost from the outset they seemed to help me, but it was some weeks before there was a maâ€" terial change for the better. From that on, however, recovery was ramd, and in a couple of months I was as well as ever I had been, and able to resume my studies.‘‘ Every dose of Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills makes new, rich, red blood; every drop of pure blood gives streagth and vitality to the whole system, and this strength brings health. That is why Dr. Williams‘ Pink Pills cure such cases as anaemia, all stomach and kidnmey trouâ€" bles, St. Vitus‘ dance, heart palpitation, the aflfictions known only to growing girls and women, and a host of other ailments from which both your‘g and old suffer through bad blood.

It was said a few years ago that sugar beets could not be grown profitably in this Province. Our Deâ€" partment of Chemistry conducted exâ€" periments in the different parts of Onâ€" tario and analyzed the beets at different stages of growth. It is now known that we can grow as good bects as in any part of the world, and men are Futting their money into the building of sugar ter and better cheose and the breeding and feeding of better dairy animals. The ayâ€" erage cow in Ontario gives less than 3,000 pounds of milk per year. The College, by careful selection and proper feeding, has built up a grade herd which, in 1904, contained sixten cows which gave more than 6,000 pounds each,. V 2, Animal Husbandry., Here students are taught the comparative values of the different breeds of domestic animals and as it is said that 80 per cent. of all the crops grown on the farms of Ontarâ€" io is fed to live stock, it will be seen at a glance how important it is to be able to tell a good feeder when one sees it. 3. Dairying. The making of better butâ€" ter and better cheose and the breeding@and 1. Field Agricuiture. Teaching of stuâ€" dents and experimenting with field erops is the work of this department. In Mr. Zavitz‘ report of last year the following paragraph appears under the head of "Barley": ‘"‘The results show that the Mandscheuri gave decidedly the greatest yicld per acre of the four variâ€" eties for the whole period of fifteen years, and also for the last five years. The Mandscheuri gave an average of 9.3 bushels per acre per annum over the common sixâ€"rowed barley in the averâ€" age results for fifteen years. The averâ€" age area devoted to barley in Ontario from 1882 to 1904 is given as 633,200 acres per annum. An increase of nine bunshels of barley per acre throughout the Province would, tnerefore, amount to an increase of over five million bushels of barley in Ontario annually. ‘This inâ€" crease at fifty cents per bushel would amount to about two and a half milâ€" lion dollars. Two and a half million dolâ€" lars annually would pay the running expenses of about thirty Agricultural Colleges like the one located at Guelph. The Mandscheuri barley was imported from Russia by the Ontario Agricultural College in the spring of 1889. Not only has it made a very exceillent record at the College, but it has given Wigh reâ€" sults in the coâ€"operative experiments throughout Ontario, and has been grown in general cultivation very usceessfully during the past few years. In looking up the records of the Bureau of Indusâ€" tries, we find that the average yield of barley throughout the Province for the period of ten years from 1895 to 1904, inâ€" clusive, is 20.3 bushels per acre; while that for the period of ten years from 1885 to 1894, inclusive, was 24.85 bushels per acre. This shows an annual averâ€" age increase of about 412 bushels per acre, for the latter, as compared with the former period of ten years. ONTARIO AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE AND EXPERIMENTAL FARM. The College was established in 1874. Its objects were twofold: First, to train young men in the science and art of imâ€" proved husbandry; and second, to conâ€" duct experiments and publish the reâ€" sults. In 1875, the President said in his first report: "It is evident to the most cursory observer that Canada depends, and will be obliged for many years to depend, largely, if not exclusively, on her raw produce for her national wealth. And amongst the various forms of raw material, none are so valuable as those included under the bead of Agricultural Produce. In the beginning students were paid to attend the institution, and there was practically no revenue from the Colâ€" loge or farm. In 1905, we turned into the Provincial treasury as revenue from the Collége and farm $61,568.20, The work of the different departments is as follows: Farmers visit the college in June and December to the number of ncarly 40,â€" 000, and we had last year in attendance at the various College classes 1,004 studâ€" ents. the Standard toâ€"day.

The result of this analysis will enable poor people, or peoâ€" ple in moderate cireumstances, to get the best bread for their families at very ; much less than they have been paying. | _ The college is then doing three things: (First, fitting boys and girls for their life work on the farm; second, by expeâ€" ‘rimcnting along different limes it is savâ€" iing the farmers millions of dollars cach year by securing for them exact data in reference to the value of different farm crops, farm anrimals, and so forth; | and Third, by the writing and publicaâ€" tion of bulletins and reports, the farmâ€" | er is supplied in his own home with reâ€" \liable information in reference to his | business.

Moy Hall, the beautiful Invernessâ€"shire home of the Mackintosh, is a fine place, with a splenâ€" did shooting, which the Prince of Wales greatly enjoyed this autumn when he was the guest of this famous Scottish chieftain. The Mackintosh keeps up the customs of his country; be always wears akilt when in the north, and every mornâ€" ing at Moy Hall the piper marsches round the house playing Scottish airs, whilst in the evening after dinner the piper plays in the dining room.

About Monuments. (Chicago Chronicle.) Major McDowell, clerk of the house in Washington, was chatting with come other Pennslyvanian on the proposal to erect a statue to Senator Quay in Harrisburg. "I am opposed,"" eald the major, ‘‘to this business of building unsightly things called monument to the memory of other mortals.

There are drills that project from the shaft at a right angle, this being male possible by the daintiest little bevel gearâ€" ing you ever saw within the drill head. Others are set at an obtuse angle and others, again, are set at an acute angle. 8. Botany. In this department the subject of weeds and how to destroy them, the question of fungous growth, and when and how to spray to exterminâ€" ate them, the importance of growing grasses and clovers, and such things are taken up and discussed. 9. Entomology. Again, millions of dollars are lost every year by insect deâ€" {:redation. Only by studying the life istory and habits of an insect can it be properly combated. 11. Macdonald Institute, _ Three things are taught: Domestic Science, Manual Training, and Nature Study. In Domestic Science there were 360 girls in attendance last year, each one being obliged to learn cooking, sewing, an laundry work. _ In a Province where over 90 per cent. of the women do their own housework, what a blessing it would be if they were all properly trained for their daily dutics, _ Manual Training makes boys and girls handy in the use of simple tools, and Nature Study, which is really clementary agriculture, helps teachers to the extent that they may return and give to their pupils an educaâ€" tion that will more nearly fit them for the earning of their daily bread. 7.
