After n few seconds of that dull stare he pulled the door roughly to behind him und strode down the street. The sound of his footsteps fell Sharply iu th6 silence. The Ushers were all in, so were the laboring poo- pie. Each tiny house turned upon the darkness a little yellow eye of light That eye looked askance ut any person foolish enough to leave a comfortable borne on such a night; for Its glance did not travel far. The fog covered It with an eyelid of dusky gloom. Keston might have lain iu the glare of the sunlight for nil the difference it made to David (ireet, but the fog was more iu accord with his mood. With a sure foot he traversed streets Dd turned corners. When he found the Louse he wunted he paused just moment at the door. That was1 not the pause of hesitation. On the man's dark face no wavering showed Itself, ouly a dull foreboding. His lips moved a if he were formulating some speech of which he wished to make himself word certain before entering. Final ly he turned the handle of the door and entered. The first footstep took him into the one lighted room In the house, for the front door gave upon It. It was occupied br two women one, flivlit and bent as n withered bough, looked up from the lire und the com pound she was stirring to greet the tall Jlgure in the doorway; the other did r.ot raised her bead from the work at which she sewed. She was quite a young woman, tall rather than otherwise, dark skinned and dark eyed. About her was a re gal air that seemed to (ill the small room and dwarf all it contained. The man's gaze was upon her, hut the fallowed no consciousness of the fact. She went ou sewing, sewing, pullii.g the needle out with a deliber ate movement that in some subtle way poke of nerves all awry. Her lips said. In their settled curves, that the Silence might remain unbroken for ever before die would brcik it. After one imeasy glance at her face the old woman set down her porridge stick and turned ana in to her son. "It's you, David. Is if:" she said, slillly. "Shut the door at your back. You're lettin' oil ;l c mist in. and the air is thill." !!; man shot the door. When he turned at'iiiu there was an added som brenoss on his face. "I'm not going to wait long, mother," he said, quietly. "I have come to fetch Murgot homo." There wasa silence. "Do you heir, Marmot?" said Jane Greet. The other woman did not reply. Hut for the moving needle she might have teen carved from stor.e. 'ill old woman looked from the girl to her son, from one dark face to the other. They were curiously alike, tuo.e two faces, both showing the Im press of a strong nnd stubborn will; they were curiously alike, too, the vu ryir.g fires In the girl's eyes leaping out to meet a sober practicality und steadfastness to those of the man. "M.'irgot, are you ready?" said David. He waited again, nnd again the nee die went in nnd out, his only reply. After n pause, "She say she is not jroin' back t j you," said June lireet un willingly. "She ha suiil that to me, too," said David Creet; "that Is to say, she has wr.tten it. She wrote It In a hard, erne: letter, which she left for inc to read when I came in." In spite of himself his voice shook. He paused for a moment to steady It. "I ihall not believe that letter. Mar got. It was unworthy of you. I shall not believe that you mean to do any' tiling so cruel and wicked:" The word came out with u Jerk. "Margot, I am waiting to take you home." She would not answer. With a quick stride he crossed the room, "isy God, you shall speak to mc!" he t ried. "I am not a dog that 1 do ;;ot deserve u word though you are list a woman, but a stone, or you would not sit there and 'refuse to utter It!

Jane lireet went with Ler son out side the door. "She will coma round, lad. she will come round." she said. He shook bis head, his face burden . Ing. "You do uot know Murgot.

"Well she's with me his mother nnvwnr folks can't talk to any great length, she thought, with a sigh. Then she went back to the stubborn girl who was her son's wife. Margin was sitting where she had left her, still sewing. "What ure you going to do?" asked Jane; a harshness had crept Into her tone. "I have already told you. I shall llnd something to do: and I am not going back," said the younger woman, "If you are not going back, you shall find nothing to do. You must stay here with me," said Jane lireet. "I cannu have the wlr l.e of Keston tnlkln' ubout my son's wife." And so things went on. Margot worked for her mother-in-law only and her passivity ate into her very soul. Hut she would uot go back to the man to whom she ha.', not yet been wedded a year. There came a day when Jane Greet met her with an odd look on her with cred face. She hud not mentioned the name of the girl's husband since that dark night, deeming it better so; but to day she spoke. He is going away my son, and your man, she said, llercely. "Mayhap the cruise will take him far, and keep him long; mayhap it will take so far and keep him so long that he will never re turn. And to-morrow he goes." She went away, trying to bide her tears; but the lad's wife spoke never a word Jane never knew that that night Margot went to took at ber old home. For u few short moments she stood In the darkness, looking ut tho windows of the little house which hud seen her greatest happiness and her passionate rebellion. There was no light In it, and she thought David was out until she heard him begin to sing. That was tin old trick of histo sing in the dark und ou the old harmonium he could pick out Just the few notes ho needed. How well she knew the song! He sung It with a little break iu bis voice; nnd she knew who hud put that break there: Love, 1 am lonely, vein are so lonjr, I want you only, you and vour song; Dark is life's shore, hive, mirht is so ilern- Leave me no more, love, itig me to sleep. For u moment after the deep voice had died away she stood there, one hand pressed close upon her breast, shaken with the conflict between pride and passionate regret. Hut pride won, and she moved at Inst only to go back to his mother's house. lie was gone long, and Margot grew pale and thin, but she uttered never a word. "tilrl, you have no heart yon arc ns cold us a stone!" old Jane burst out passionately oue day that day when news ittine that David Ureet would never return to the. little lishing vil lage, but lie Instead iu the lonely sea! Still, David's wife would not speak; but at night sin- stood by her window and looked up ut the clear stars with a white face. "I think I must have a heart, for I can feel it break." she said, when there was none to hear her. Hut the rumor was a lie and he came back. "He has done well, and has cpme back right, Margot." ald the old wo man. She looked ut her daughter-lu-luw with uncomprehending eyes. "He could give you tine clothes now ami the best looking house In Keston." Then, for the tlrst time, was Mnr got's calm broken, and she was moved to speech. "I will never go back to him!" she cried fiercely. She threw down her work and left the room. How was June to kuow that In that moment her heurt was stolen from her, and she felt iu its place but u lump of heavy gold that tore her breast. Wher ever she' went she felt It there, and it hurt sorely. When she passed Duvld In the street her lingers .shook; but that weight lit her bosom pressed, und she remembered his gold, and passed on. (Hi! It was ill to be without u heart mid have only a lump of gold lliut must always stand between her self und the loan she loved!

She found ber way through the streets and round the corners Just a surely ns he bad done; but she was not unconscious of the wny she wound.

One of your correspondents recently proposed a method of housing this use ful crop. I want to suggest that all discussion on that subject is out of order. 'i'l.e tubers are already put away, boused or cured for where thy grew. Leave them In the ground till frosty weather and then dii them. If dug too soon they ure iu the way; they nre subject to atmospheric action und some will rot; they nre exposed to sunlight which turns them green and bitter. The moles may eut a few of them In the hill, and the weeds may multiply -o as to make them hard to dig, but a little extra care will govern nil this, nnd the loss will be lighter than after they are taken out of the hill. If they are dug, t lie very best thing to do with them is to pile them up and cover them wllh dirt. That is their natural element, and they cannot be so healthy anywhere else. W. S.

The writer bus bad muny years of ex perience lu raising ducks and bus been more or less successful lu the work, although preferring other Hues of poul try. Still, ducks are profitable if raised under proper, conditions and within eusy reach of a market which demands them. Several correspondents have asked if water Is necessary to duck-raising, aud the reply is that it Is and It Isn't. To explain: A number of years sluce we located the duck batching -bouses os portion of the firm yrbtt's thus was no .water, lu- tending to transfer the ducks near the creek later on. Pressure of other work prevented the transfer until the ducks were nearly half grown. It was then noticed Hint while some of the young ones were lu very pool health, most of them were doing as well as we could wish and bad shown no desire for wnter, except to drink It. This seemed so contrary to what bad been the understanding of the require ments of ducks that we Investigated by going to the man from whom the eggs were bought. It wns then found that for some five years the ducks raised by this man had bad no access to water, except for drinking purposes. The desire tor n pond had been bred out of them, so to speak. In raising ducks, therefore, ascertain what sur roundings their ancestors hare bud; If they have been rnlsed on ' ponds. water must be supplied your ducks or you will not be nble to raise them prof itably.

Turkey Bulletin (No. 200) by the De partment of Agriculture, now on the Government press, contains the fol lowing three general rules for select ing stock: First Always use as breeders tur key bens over one year old. Be sure they nre strong, healthy aud vigorous, and of good nediuiu size. Do not strive to have them unnaturally large, Second The male may be a yearling or older. Do not Imagine that the large overgrown males are the best. Strength, health and vigor, with well- proportioned medium size, are the main points of excellence. . Third Avoid close breeding. New- blood Is of vital importance to turkeys. Better send a thousand miles for a new: mule than to risk the chances ot In breeding. Secure one iu the fall so as to be assured of his health and vigor prior to the breeding season. Regarding the kind of bens to select the following advice Is given: No mut ter whnt variety of turkeys mny be se lected for keeping, they should, above all things, be strong, vigorous, healthy und well matured, but not ukin. Bet ter secure the females from one local ity and the male from another to. in sure their nou-relutlotishlp, rather than run the risk of inbreeding. In nil fowls it is well to remember that size Is Infiueuced largely by the fe male and the color and tinisji by the male. Securing over-large males to pair with small, weakly bens Is not wise policy. A medium sized mule with good, fuir-sized females of good constitutional vigor nnd mature age, will do far better than the largest with the smallest females. Lessons From Hwlas Dairying. It is possible fot us to draw many lessons from Swiss dairying. Prob ably this industry in Switzerland I the oldest occupation of muu there) ut leust, it bus been the principal In dustry since the uurrow vulleys were occupied by the first settlers. So muny enturies has dairying been carried on in these mountaius that the records d not go back ti the commencement We ouly know that long ago cen turies ngo the Government of the cuu ons ot Swltzerlunds concluded tha' the people of Switzerland, us a wbolq bud a right to say bow the pastures at lenst the pastures ou the mouutuic blights, should be bundled. So luwi were passed governing both the pas tu res owned by the public nnd the pn lures owned by the luilividuul dairy men. . To these laws the Swiss ap purently owe the preservation of tholl pastures. : '! ;H; The Alpine pastures are leased to thi highest bidder, nnd the men that so cure them are prevented from sub leasing.

The effect Is prettier if the pleats are loosened after the bolero Is fitted, but If desired they can be lert stitched for a few Inches from the arinhole. There are many devices for obtaining the long shoulder effect without act ually cutting the long seam, which Is so difficult. For example, embroidery and lace can be arranged so as to have the points running down over the top of the arm. and this will be found very effective. I'B-Endad Taekt. .'
