He had never been so hard hit by a girl beâ€" fore. His taste and ambitions led him to bestow his devotion generally on married women. as easier, safer, and more amusâ€" ing. Hitherto his love had been from his life a thing "exceedingly apart." Mona‘s ordinary reserve, broken by occaâ€" sional gleams of â€" enthusiasm and earsestness, interested him, by the constant â€" suggestion _ of â€" discoveries yet to make; while her _ style of face and figure were delightful to his eve. In short, her attraction was irâ€" resistible; he was angry with himself for yielding to it as he didâ€"for marriage even the most brilliant marriage, would not suit his views and plans for years to come. Still, it grew more and more deâ€" lightful to be with Mona, to watch for the slight, reluctantly granted indicaâ€" tions of preference which he from time to time won from her; nothing ever flatâ€" tered him so deliciously as the first drooping of her white afl& over the proud, steady eyes that for months met his gaze so calmly; the elight themâ€" leo of her hand as it lay in his; the awaeet ecomposure which veiled what he int ul' CHAPTER IV. ; the slight themâ€" _ "Those concerned in affairs of this lay in his; the hldmumllli'eouidnoduql:dl h veiled what he ground," said Lisle, cynically. this perceived from all the world. He was absurdly occupied with this quiet inexâ€" perienced girl, who was so womanly, though so young. She cost him _ some uncomfortable moments too; still he neâ€" ver lost his head as to think seriously of marriage. Years hence, when he had attained a high position, and wanted a dignified, well regulated home, he might look out for a richly dowered, highly conâ€" nected wife. Now Mona, though well born on one side at least, was for all purposes of advancement the merest noâ€" body; yet what a disturbing influence she exercised on his heart or circulation or whatever it was that throbbed in his pulses, and tempted him to unpleasant spasms of imprudence. All this irritation had reached its highest pitch during his visit to Harroby Chase; and so softenâ€" ;&E;a;vtl;â€"é&fahefiéd man of the world that when the blow fell on Mrs. Newâ€" burgh, which he knew meant lifeâ€"long o Cmm poverty for Mona were she not . soon rescued, he really thought how he could best serve her, after he had considered how he could disentangle himself from the meshes which he felt were weaving themscives around him in the pleasant, free intercoure of countryâ€"house life. He therefore caught eagerly at Lesâ€" lie Waring‘s proposition, and resolved that no illusion:s about himself should interfere to prevent Mona acecpting the deliverance offered to her. Resolute as he was, both by nature and cultivation, he half dreaded the inâ€" terview he had planned so cunningly. He expected tcars, agitation, despair, however she might seek to hide their real source. He even anticipated some deâ€" lightful moments. When sympathizing in her distress, and deploring the exigâ€" ency of his own narrow circumetances, he might offer consolation in a tender embrace, and a fewâ€"perhaps a good many passionate kisses. Her mode of receiving his communiâ€" cation amazed him. He did not know what to think. He felt almost sure that she loved him, and even more sure that at the present stage of her existence she was unworldly and remarkably inâ€" different to rank and riches. He could not understand how it was that she fell in so readily with his suggestion, and was in truth, mortified in no small degree when he found that the elaborate scheme of soothing caresses and ingenâ€" ious reasoning he had _ prepared, was so much trouble wasted. If she had cared for him, she could not be so good humoredly _ composedâ€"some _ stinging words would have escaped her lips, some indication of the rage and pain that must be gnawing her heart would have been visible. He was absuredly anxious to see her againâ€" to ascertain if she still kept up the same friendly ease which bad baffled him. Meantime he waited in London, while his uncle was engaged in arranging with the military bigâ€"wigs the details ot his new command. It would bemuch betâ€" ter to go out to India frce and unfetâ€" tered, to know Mona was unable to reâ€" proach him. Still, an odd soreness surâ€" rounded her image which was so deepâ€" ly stamped upon his minrd. He was deâ€" terminde to see her again. A few days after having called _ in vain at Mrs. Newburgh‘s, Lisle _ had been breakfasting with General Stafford, and had remained for some time discussâ€" ing plans. Walking down Piccadilly to his club, he found himself face to face with Sir Robert Everard. | SA U‘ TB . 1.3 00 .00 00. trintnalatintstl "And I did not expect to see you at this season, too."

While light exhibited no influence on such flowers, cold when properly apâ€" plied could be made to check the openâ€" ing, or when opened heat could be applied to maintain the flower in that condition for an abnormal length of time. K OPENING JOHN B. CLEMENTS, OF FLOWERS. The members of the Ontario Agriculâ€" tural and Experimental Union are pleasâ€" ed to state that for 1906 they are preâ€" pared to distribute into every Townshiv of Ontario material tor experiments with fodder crops, roots, grains, grasses, cloâ€" vers, and fertilizers Upwards of 1,600 varieties of farm crops have been testâ€" ed in the Experimental Department of the Ontario Agricultural Oolfi.ge, Guelph, for at least five years in succession. These consist of nearly all the Canadâ€" ian sorts and several hundred new varâ€" ieties, some of which have done exseedâ€" ingly well in the carefully conducted exâ€" periments at the Callege and are now leâ€" ing distributed free of charge for coâ€" operative experiments throughout Onâ€" tario, The following is the list of coâ€"opâ€" erative experiments in agriculture for 1906 : No. Exveriments.

The material will be furâ€" nished in the order until the supply is cation are received until the supply is exhausted. It might be well for each applicant to make a second choice, for fear the first could not be granted. All material will be furnished entirely free of charge to each applicant, and the proâ€" duce of the plots will, of course, become the property of the person who conlucts the experiment. Ontario Agric. College, Guelph, March 5th, 1906 Nowadays wise mothers do not dose their children with harsh, griping casâ€" tor oil or purgatives, nor do they gve them poisonous opiates in the form of soâ€"called soothing medicines, Baby‘s Own Tablets take the place of these harsh and dangerous medicines, and the mothâ€" er has the word of a Government analyst that the Tablets are absolutely safe. Raby‘s Own Tablets cure indigestion, conâ€" stipation ,colic, teething troubles, diarâ€" rhoea, simple fevers, and other little ills of childhood. _ An occasional dose will ke«p children well, Mrs. R. E. Long, Peachland, B. C., says: "I have found Baby‘s Own Tablets unsurpassed for teething troubles, breaking up colds, reducing fevers, and other ills, and they make a child sicep naturaily, _ I now always keep them in the house." _ Ask for the Tablets at your druggist‘s or you always keep them in the house," _ Ask for the Tablets at your druggist‘s or you can get them by mail from Ibe 0r, wWii liams‘ Medicine Company, Brockville, Ont., at 25 cents a box. _ "The bactericlogist for the Burgh of Govan, has issued an interesting report on his investigations into the question of diphtheria infection from cats. The cats were taken to the laboratory where their throats were examined. Microâ€"organisms from the throat wore found to correâ€" spond in every respect to those of the human subject. In one case the animal had been in the habit of sleeping in the same bed as the patient; in the other the child bad been carrying it in her arms and kissing it as children frequently do with domestic pets. Both cats had been ailing previously to the children becomâ€" ing affected. Of five cases of diphtheria recently reported in Govan three patients came from two families living in adâ€" joining propertics and two from a house in a tenement directly opposite. In the cireumscribea area inclosing the back courts of these buildings there had been a stray cat which had eventually obâ€" tained a home in one of the families afâ€" fected. _ The animal, when examined, was found to be suffering from postâ€" diphtheritic paralysis of the legs."
