A couple of days after the depar- turo of the Beavers, as he was pass- Ing down the Corso, Sir Walter sud- denly came upon his old friend, Ted Merrill. . Tho two cronies greeted each other with an appenrdncc of great cord- ialtr, yet each was conscious ot a. feeling: ot unusal constraint. Meanwhile, Sir Walter Leighton was paying diligent attention to Miss Inez King, to make up tor past me- mlssness in this respect. The lady or his love being beyond his reach. for the time being, he reasoned that there could be no harm in his enjoy- ing himself with this brilliant heir- ess, while It would befar pieasauter to have a congenial companion dar- ing the carnival than to be wander- ing about by himself. CHAPTER XXIII. . ' Later in the day Florence had a. long and confidential talk with her guardian. telling him her plans re- garding her cousin, and the man sec- onded them most heartily, promis- ing also to do his utmost to help the wronged girl to, recover her fortune and bring her persecutors to Justice. On their arrival in Paris, Mr. Scav- er took an apartment on the Avenue do 1'Opera, and after starting Mrs. Sidney'e maid safely ott on her way to England, Florence and Monica gave themselves up to the enjoy- ment of the sights and gayctles around them. - The "other ward" looked up at him wlth a. quick flush and smile ot grat- ltude at being thus gathered so kind- ly under the protection ot the whole- hearted man. who nodded cordially In return as he passed out ot the room. "And it I has! knotwn what I know now. I would rather have remained and fought the battle out with that scheming woman and he: rascally father," her guardian vehlmently re- turned.

Bewitched by the marvellous beauty of the spot, 1 dismounted from the wheel in order. to enjoy the imposing scenery to the full. The following morning, while our host was in the fields, I rose and, htwi taken a. cup of tea went strolling 1T,l'lf the dwelling.

On the other side of the ditch, I saw that I had gained about a dozen psces over the formidable feline.It may be that in the intoxication of this sdvnntage I incrEns- ed my speed. I thought I was saved, when an unforseen circumstance completely changed the situation. At the entrance of a grove of ban. ana. trees a leafy branch, probobly thrown there by some laborer) barred the way. As there was no possibility of evading it I ran over the obstacle, but unfortunately it caused the wheel to swerve, and I was obliged to slow up for a few yards in order to regain my equililrium. At the next bound the tiger again nearly caught me, but while the claw grazed the wheel I saw that I had to passover a, long and narrow foot bridge spanning a wide irrigation ditch. This gave me back my courage. I calculated that the animal would hesitate an in, stant at the bridge, and perhaps lose a few yards in crossing it. In these awful momentes I had the in- spiration to diviate from my pathsto. ward a, gnaw: tree which grew at the side of the road; and again I escaped, because my pursucr was forced to make a detour. But though my speed was at its highest point, I had no hope of a fin. al escape. I knew only too well that one or two extra efforts on the part of the enemy might definitely close this strug- gle any moment. I thought that I was lost and that the effort I made was in train. But the claw missed its aim, scarcely scratching the tire; and, as the mahine kept up its speed, the tiger was less near at the eighth bound, because he be! counted the race won. Everything depended upon maintain. ing a start, however insignificant, for about a. hundred yards, after which the speed of the beast would probably de. crease somewhat, though still rimenamfw crease somewhat, though still remaining fearful. I worked the pedals in a. frenzy, but at the fourth leap the distance was reduced; " the fifth the beast had only to stretch out his paw to reach me,, and at the seventh it touched the tire of the rear wheel. T It seemed "to me that I had become all instinct, and,that everyone of my fibres o.beyed that unconscious will which is worth more in immediate danger than the clearest reasoning. With a great ef- fort I attained my maximum speed; and, in the short interval between the tirtst and second bounds of the tiger, I was ready for the struggle. When I jumped into the saddle, I saw in a. flash the big body crouching and then the spring. At that instant I gave the; first impulse tq the pedal: ..- This step did not bring him nearer to me; but with a second and more rapid movement of the animal terror decided me. In two leaps 1 had reached ttttsi- tlt. At the noise of a bird among the foli- age he turned quickly, a phosphorescent gleam shone‘m his eyes; but be aw nothing. He seemed to hesitate be- tween two directions; then he turned again toward the lake and took a. step on the bank. An intuition told me that he was seek- ing compensation for a. fruitless hunt the night before. A false movement, and I should be that compensation M ysecret hope .was that the beast, satisfied with his victims of the night before, had come to the lake simply to sluice his thirst. But, though the tiger moistened his tongue in the water, he id not seem driven to the water by neces- sity; for he soon lifted his head and looked around. In preparing the roots for the cellar, they should be dug up late in the fall, glint before the ground freezes hard. ey should then be left where they will be exposed to severe freezing for three or four weeks. If placed under cover in an open shed, or where they will not be buried in snow, it will be all the easier to get at them when it is time to take them to the cellar. About Christmas time they may be put in the cellar, and should be banked with earth to keep the roots moist. Care should be taken that heart pounding like a hammer, and mouth as dry as a stone. i" 'Ij" l 3333f': “"30 . ”a...“ tt "gay hive (,ili1e,,iiii',,t'iis the ol bahioised pie t gr t'i'ltft,,g,t?. vigoro us . my“; ei a. q some wheat: or MII' early in the spring before strawberriea eome in.
