"Hut we coula never find such a
woman," Gabriaile said, Interested
but incredulous.
"The old man said his sister would
come," returned Elizabeth. "Of course
I did not engage her, but I know where
to find her."
The next day we rented the cottage,
engaged the competent woman, and
notified the clerk at the hotel that our
rooms would be at bis disposal at the
end of the week.

The ejaculation was on A of relief, as

"I'm coming to see you." I called, as
we walked on, but the conclusion was
forced upon mo that she had forgotten
my existence.
"Why do you suppose they use that
forlorn little slip," I Inquired, "when
there are plenty of good landing
places further on?"
But tho subject did not seem to
Interest Elizabeth, whom I had ad
dressed, for sho merely remarked with
a sigh:
'1 just hate to go back to that old
hotel."
"Rut of course we could never rent
the cottage," said Uabrlelle, the pru-
dent.
"Oh, of course not!" we agreed,
and ascended the steps of the hotel
In gloomy silence.
In the hall there were mountains of
trunks, covered with a bewildering
quantity of labels, and a subdued air
of excitement prevailed, indicating
that the new arrivals were worthy of
consideration. As soon as possible
wn investigated the register and found j
that Lord Wilfrid and Lady Edith
Campbell of I>ondon, England, were
enjoying the hospitality of the house. |
It was no use pretending that we j
were not impressed, for we were, and |
wo read the names over several times
aloud to see how they sounded. Tt J
was our first encounter with British I
aristocracy outside of books, and w '
hurried upstairs to make fresh toilets
ia their honor.
They did not appear until we had
nearly finished dinner, ami we were j
Interested watching for them that
we forgot to complain about the food
Lord Wilfrid wa* disappointing, ti!
CHAPTER III.
We saw a good deal of the Camp-
hells—or at. least of I-ady Edith—
during the following ween. She was
unquestionably lovely, from the crown
of her golden head to the tip of her
dainty shoe, and, moreover, was en-
dowed with that most enviable gift
called personal magnetism; her smile
was a caress, and the inflection of her
voice implied unqualified pleasure in
the society of the person whom she
happened to address.
We took her to the cottage, and
she went over it with genuine interest,
suggesting slight rearrangement of
furniture, and lingering on the ver-
anda as though reluctant to leave.
"I quite envy you," she Baid, with a
trace of sadness in her voice. "You
will be so cozy up here, and—the
hotel is horrid, is It not?"
"You must come and see us very
often," said Elizabeth, and Gabri-
elle and I echoed the invitation eag-
erly.
"How good of you!" she replied.
"I shall be only too glad to come. And
j I may bring Wilfrid sometimes? We
| are both rather forlorn strangers in
' A strange land, you know."
^Ve hastened to say we would S>e tfe
lighted to see Ixiri Wilfrid at any
time, and Elizabeth, who bad volun-
teered to keep house, added that tea
would bo on tap every afternoon and
guests very welcome.
So we took possession of tlio cot-
tage en the bluH and settled down for
a long, lazy summer.
It was nice. That first evening a*
we sat on the veranda after our com-
fortable dinner, listening to the mur-
mur of the waves and watching the
myriad of stars overhead, we spoke
j contemptuously of the stuffy little
hotel, and pitied those confined within
j its walls.
Elizabeth had heard from home that
day, and told us that a man her fa-
ther had recently met owned an isl-
h.a Sister Was All That Could Be
j Desired.

meet no one, to allow her brother to
Regain his usual poise before visiting
their uncle, the governor general of
Canada. She added that the length
of their stay depended upon the ben-
efit he derived from it, and hoped we
would do what we could toward di
verting him. We said we would
Of course all this happened quite
naturally as time went on, and 1 only
mention It here to show how wrong it
Is to judge by appearances, for we
thought Ixird Wilfrid looked ill-
natured and grumpy, whereas he was
really suffering from a broken heart.
His sister, however, was all that
could be desired, and suggested Lady
Clara Vere do Vere in a very satis-
factory manner. In fact, I heard
Gabriella murmur: " 'The daughter
of a hundred earls,'" as Lady Edith
swept through the doorway, and Eliza-
beth quoted: "'The languid light of
her proud eyes,'" when she Inspected
the somewhat dingy menu.
I don't think I said anything, for I
was so absorbod in wondering whether
; secure In the conviction that our
"competent woman" could really cook.
And ask Lord Wilfrid and Lady
j Kdith the same evening," supple-
mented Gabrlelle. "Let us impress
: him at once with our intimacy with
tho nobility."
"Have wo a butler and 12 footmen,
that we should give dinners?" inquired
Elizabeth, with withering sarcasm.
"When 1 entertain landed proprietors
and members of the peerage I don't
want to feel nervous about anything,
so we won't attempt dinners while I'm
housekeeper."
We did later, just the same, and
our little dining room was the scene of
several merry nondescript meals,
called dinner by courtesy, and thor-
oughly enjoyed by every one. But
this is anticipating.
The next day as we were all three
leaning out of the broad window of
my room, in an interval of repose
after unpacking and settling, we heard
steps on the gravel path, and before
ve i oulil withdraw our heads two men
the ripples o£ her golden hair were, turned the corner and started for the
natural or acquired that I forgot |
everything else; but when we met her
the next day and felt the charm of her J
personality I was ready to swear that j
everything about her was genuine.
So absorbed were we that evening
In discussing the brother nnd sister
that we almost forgot the cottage; j
but I saw Elizabeth busily engaged j
with pencil and paper as we were pre- j
paring for bed, and was not altogether j
surprised to hear her voice frotn the
next room after the lights were out.
"If we got a competent w jtnan who
would do our washing," she remarked,
"it would not be r*uch more expensive
than staying here i have calculated

front door. From the hand of the
taller dangled Gabrlelle's black shop-
ping bag, and although he wore gray
clothes and a straw hat instead of blue
serge and a small cap we recognized
the man on the steamer, and were
consequently petrified with astonish-
ment.
"Don't let them in," whispered Ga
brielle, who always has her wits about
her in an emergency. "Tell Mary
Anne to say 'Not at home.'"
They were directly under the win-
dow now, and we feared to move, al-
most to breathe, lest we attract their
attention; but It waB just at this cru-
cial moment that my side-comb elected
to fall out and land with considerable
force upoo tbe aforesaid straw hat.
Of course Its owner promptly looked
up, and equally of course we precipi-
tately retreated.
"Do you think he saw us?" gasped
Elizabeth and i simultaneously as the
doorbell rang; but Gabrlelle had fled
to the hall, where we heard her whis-
pering hoarsely to Mary Anne over
the banister.
We also heard that invaluable facto-
tum's assurance that the ladies had
just gone to the village, and a polite
expression of regret, accompanied by
a promise to call again.
We stole again to the window as our
visitors retreated, and saw them
pause, examine my side comb, and
calmly drop it in Gabrlelle's bag,
which had not been left with Mary
Anne, as, of course, it should have
been.
"At this rate, Bennett," said a laugh-
ing voice, "you'll soon be able to open
a junkshop. But I must say, old
chap, we were very neatly snubbed.
Wherefore?"
"I don't know," replied Bennett,
"but I mean to find out, for I'm coming
again very soon. I assure you, Blake,
the picture doesn't begin—"
The rest of the sentence was lost
as the two men disappeared around
the corner. We straightway held a
council of war.
"I suppose," said Elizabeth, "he has
lucid intervals and his attendant
humors him, but this is no reason why
wo should be victimized. Let us cau-
tion Mary Anne."
So we descended in a body to the
kitchen and solemnly warned Mary
Anne that She day she admitted our
late visitor We would immediately
part company, She in turn solemnly
assured ae that If he crossed the
threshold St would be over her dead
body, so we felt somewhat comforted.
Elizabeth picked UP the cards and
looked at them.
"Mr. John Clinton Blake," she read
aloud, "and Mr. Gordon Bennett."
The card dropped from her hand
and she collapsed into the wood box.
"What's the matter now?" de-
manded Gabrlelle, fishing her friend
out of its capacious depths.
"Gordon Bennett," said Elizabeth,
"is the man who knows father, and
who owns the island."
Wo stared at each other in incredu-
lous silence, then sank down upon
Mary Anne's Immaculate floor and
laughed until we were exhausted.
"1 feel sure." said Elizabeth, when
she could articulate, "that it is not
the same man. This is some im-
postor."
"Mayhap," suggested Mary Anne,
who had been an interested listener—
"mayhap, miss, e s a smuggler."
Mary Anne had not long left the
mother country, and her manipulation
of the letter h was as agreeable to our
American ears as Lady Edith's fault-
less enunciation. Just now she was
regarding us witb the manner of one
who possesses unimpartcd informa- i
tion.
"It's finite hawful, miss," she re-
sumed, dropping her voice to a whis-
per, "and it do give a body the creeps,
so it do. Ilut they say the smuggling
wot goes cm 'ereabout is most bextaor-
dlnary."
"Smuggling?" repeated Gabrlelle.
"Yes, miss: taking things In ever
the border without, the duty—which I
do say is a rin and a shame to 'ave
to pay, go it is."
"If I* perfectly right to pay it,
Mary Anne. Everybody should obey
the laws i if a country."
So Kpole the general's daughter,
bttt the carefully avoided looking at
up, for we all intended investing heavi-
ly in furs before cur return and get-
tins them In without cost,
"Yes, mis*," replied Mary Anne,
without enthusiasm, and Gabrielle In-
quired in rather a muffled voice what
tha miscreants smuggled.
"Oh, most hanything that comes
'afidy, miss. Fur, cloth, gloves, hum- I
brelias, preshus jools—mostly di-
'monda. The feller they're lookin' fur
deals ia di'monds. Quite the gentle-
men e is, too, so I've 'eard."

60RE9 AT PUBLIC GATHERINGS.
Protest Against Prosy Utterers of
Dreary Commonplaces.
Those who Impute to us a national
lack of patience and politeness must
admit that there are occasions upon
which we deserve a long mark for self-
restraint and kindly consideration ot
the feelings of cur tormentors. Un-
doubtedly altruism is one of the finest
jewels in the moral crown, but It has
its limits, and at the close of a sea-
son that has abounded in lectures and
debates It seems a fitting time to pro-
test against their being stretched be-
yond the point of human endurance by_
downright bores in the shape of chair,
men and speakers, who vocally amble \
on and on while their audiences, how
ever they may chafe inwardly at the \
waste of time and mental irritation, j
begotten of a dreary rehearsing of I
commonplaces, sit as patiently as
dumb puppets.
In private their victims discuss the
advisability of a stiff civil service
course for chairmen who apparently j
are of the firm conviction that they I
are expected to make the longest ad- j
dresses of the occasion over which j
they preside, and certainly they as j
well as other speakers frequently
stand In need of training In the direc-
tion of much thought and few words.

COST OF MAKING PORK.
Feed Right and You Will Make IV oney
on Hogs. •
In giving my views on the cost
of raising pork in New Jersey and
the most economical way of treat-
ing the hog, I will state that I only
raise spring hogs, having found out
that the longer one feeds a hog the
more it will cost por pound. I always
sell my fall pigs and such of the
spring litters as I do not wish to
keep, as it pays quite well to sell pigs
here at from six weeks to two months
old, when the cost is comparatively
little. I take the following figures
from my farm account book of last
year as tbe cost of my pork per pound
for the year 1907, which is about the
average yearly cost debit: To five
tons of mill feed, at $20 per ton. $100;
one acre sugar corn, $20; 15 barrels
short corn, $15. Total, $135. Credit:
By 3,000 pounds of pork, at six cents
per pound, $1S0.
This makes the cost of the pork a
fraction over 3% cents per pound were
all the feed charged to the hogs butch-
ered; but out of tbe above lot of feed
I fed one large bull, one boar and
threr brood sows from April to Octo-
ber, but having given my pigs all the
waste milk In addition to their grain
feed, 1 struck a balance with that and
the feed consumed by the bull, boar
and sows, and put the cost of pork at
3V4 cents per pound.
As to the most economical way of
treating the hog, says a writer in
Farmers' Voice, I will say treat him
always as a child from birth to butch-
ering; control him always; let him
play In the dirt if he wishes, but fur-
nish a place for him to wash; keep his
bed clean always; give him wholesome
food and plenty of it at regular hours,
and he will soon learn to look to you
instead of to your neighbor's corn-
field for his living. He will make a
far better hog and his owner will be a
far better man than he would be
should he turn him loose on the world
to root for his own living; for while
civilization and breeding have greatly
improved him in confinement, he de-
velops the same old traits of a hundred
years ago if left to run at large. Pork-
raising has paid me about the same
average for the last 12 years,' so I
think that if a man takes good care
of his hogs they will pay him back for
his trouble sooner or later.
PROTECTING CATTLE.
The Proper Kind of Shelter to Provide
in Winter.
From some of the articles that have
appeared in this paper some people
might conclude that we do not believe
in giving cattle winter protection.
Tills is not the case, says the Farm-
ers' Review. The warning was against
too warm barns and barns Willi not
enough light and ventilation.
All cattle need to he protected j
against cold winds in winter, and also :
in fall and spring. Itut must they I
need protection against dampness.
Water reduces the non-cundilctivlty J
of the hair and the skir. and exposes j
tbe pores and the nerves to cold. Tlie
loss of heat from the animal body is J
very rapid when the weather It cold
and damp.
A cold rain Is much w<ir>«n than a
dry snow, though the dry snow indi-
cates a much lower temperature than !
the cold rain. But tn the colder
weather, wheu the snow Is dry, the
hair and skin o£ the animal body are i
not reduced in temperature by being
wet.
The first provision therefore
against the weather should he a pro-
vision against water in any form The
roof over the heads of tUi' animals
should be sufficiently large atnl tight
to prevent the coming of water. The
sides of the roof should droop enough
to prevent rain driving in on the bed-
ding of the cattle.
In regions where it is possible to
keep cattle out of doors through a
considerable portion of tbe winter,
great care should be usi'1 to keep the
bedding dry. A dry roof over head
and a dry bed underneath render the
ordinary fat steer comfortable.
FOR DIVIDING HOGS.
Double Pen Which Will Prove of (treat
Help in Task.
Have two pens A and B, with an
opening, just wide enough to allow one
hog to pass through at a time, in the
corner of A, as shown in the accom-
panying illustration. Hang a gate on

What They Think of Western Canada.
A party of editors from a number of
cities and towns of Minnesota recently
made a tour of Western Canada, and
having returned to their homes they
are now telling In their respective
newspapers of what they saw on their
Canadian trip. The West St. Paul
Times recalls the excursion of the
Minnesota editors from Winnipeg to
the Pacific Coast ten years ago. Re-
ferring to what has happened in the
interval the writer says: "Thousands
of miles of new railway lines have
been built, and the development of
the country has made marvelous
strides. Millions of acres, then lying
in their wild and untouched state,
have since been transferred into grain
fields. Towns have sprung up as if
by th* wand of a magician, and their
development is now in full progress.
It is a revelation, a record of conquest
by settlement that is remarkable."
The Hutchinson Leader character-
izes Western Canada as "a great coun-
try undeveloped. The summer out-
ing," it says, "was an eye-opener to
every member of the party, even those
who were on the excursion through
Western Canada ten years ago, over
considerable of the territory covered
this year, being amazed at the prog-
ress and advancement made in that
short space of time. The time will
come when Western Canada will be
the bread-basket of the world. It
was a delightful outing through a
great country of wonderfuS sossibil-
ities and yesources/1'
Since tho ^isit of these editors the
Government has revised Us land regu-
lations and It is now possible to se-
cure 160 acres of wheat land at $3.00
an acre in addition to the 160 acres
that may be homesteaded.
The crops of 190S have been splen-
did, and reports from the various dis-
tricts show good yields, which at pres-
ent prices will give excellent profits to
tho farmers.
From Milestone, Saskatchewan,
there are reported yields o£ thirty hush-
els of spring wheat to the acre, while
the average is about 29 bushels. The
quality of grain to ho shipped from
this point will be about 600,000 bush-
els. Information regarding free lands
and transportation will be freely given
by the Canadian Government Agents.

UPWARD START
After Changing from Coffee to Postum.
Many a talented person is kept back
because of the interference of coffee
With the nourishment of the body.
This is especially so with those
whose nerves are very sensitive, as is
often the case with talented persons.
There is a simple, easy way to get rid
of coffee evils and a Tenn. lady's ex-
perience along these lines is worth
considering. She says:
"Almost from the beginning of the
use of coffee it 1' t my stomach. By
the time I was lii .-n I was almost a
nervous wreck, nerves all unstrung, no
strength to endure the most trivial
thing, either work or fun.
"There was scarcely anything I
could eat that would agree with me.
The little I did eat seemed to give me
more trouble than it was worth. I
finally quit coffee and drank hot
water, but there was so little food 1
could digest, I was literally starving;
was so weak I could not sit up long
at a time.
"It was then a friend brought me a
hot cup of Postum. I drank part of It
and after an hour I felt as though I
had had something to eat — felt
strengthened. That was about five
years ago, and after continuing Post-
um in place of coffee and gradually
getting stronger, to-day 1 can eat and
digest anything I want, walk as much
as I want. My nerves are steady.
"I believe the first thing that did me
any good and gave me an upward
start, was Postum, and I use it alto-
gether now instead of coffee." "There's
a Reason."
