"Aye," responded the other, "or we should not have assumed his family name. I think my son, we might have made a safer hit in our selection of a false name; but, it's just as well now-just as well, since I have had no occasion to. appear on the scene." "It's all as well as it can be; so now; stir your stumps and be off. You will have barely time to pre- pare and catch the New York train."

So that, even if I do not hit upon this Alexander Compton, I shall probably find chil- dren of the fourth generation. "I did not telegraph the fact of 1Ialford's death until after I had “sent the announcement of msdame's demise," explained Caspar, as the merchant returned the letter; "but I have since written at length, and future communications will be ei- ther made through me or directly to, the administrator." "The telegram aiinouncing, the death of Rachel St. Clair reached me before the letter. If I find the heirs, I will make clear their titles and bring them on. “Very respectfully, "Z. LEFFINGTON.. "And," added the merchant, as he arose from his seat, "if no heirs come from that direction, the corn- monwealth must hold the estate?" "Be sure Mr. Leffington will find them if they _arfe qlive.” _ "So it would seem, as madame left no heirs of her own body.'/ A “It would seem, then,” said Waybrook, "that we are likely to find lineal heirs." "To Adam Halford, Esq, Boston.” Caspar burned to his desk, and took from a file an open letter, which he handed to the merchant. It was dated at New Orleans, and read as follows: Neg: w the Mgs; CHAPTER XII.---(Cont'd) OR, SAVED BY THE LOVE OF A WOMAN. l“"“ w w _ . .

Would his boy dare to disobey? The very thought awoke fires of vengeance in his heart, and opened the way to a fur- ther resolution which his towering pride was to sustain, and which was to become the bane of his life. (To be continued.) "At least,” went on the parent, "a child who may, in the hour of her marriage, be claimed by a crim- inal from the very lowest slough of ignominy and disrepute.

Once I saw the extremes of hu- man pain and pleasure m a single day. SHOWING TIIE EXEREMES OF LIFE LN ONE DAY. In the morning I breakfasted with the medical offieer in charge of the leper asylum at Spanish Town, in Jamaica, and afterwards accom- panied him "il his rounds through that institution. All lepers in the colony are segregated there, unless their friends can guarantee effec- tive private isolation to the au- thorities, says a, writer in London Answers. to see these young children stamp- ed with the same curse, and to know that in time they, too, will become ghastly parodies of human- ity-----! Unless we can discover the cure. I have been egcperiment- ing on them with a serum I pre- pared, but the results, so far, are not conclusive." We walked about the grounds, and chatted with many of the in- mates, who seemed pleased to see a visitor-a rare sight in a place which the natives cannot even speak without shuddering. CmLD-LEPERS! "Are they--" I began; but I could noCsspeak the word of them. "Yes, they are lepers, and by law they must be confined here." His face grew very stern and thoughtful. "It is hard to see men and women day by day dragging out this most miserable of lives. But We went into the pretty, flower- hedecked chapel-tho gift of an English lady who happened to visit the settlement when touring in Ja- maica. A negress was kneeling be- fore the altar in silent prayer. The hands she clasped were almost des- titute of ftngers; her upturned face, though terribly mutilated by the progress of the leprosy, had the spiritual beauty of one who walks among things unseen. When we entered the gates, two little mulatto girlss-dusky, lively children of five or six-ran up to us, laughing merrily. One caught hold of the doctor's arm, and gave him a bunch of white jessamine she had picked in the garden. Evident, ly he was a great favprite.‘ . Some showed hardly any signs of the disease; others had lost almost every outward trace of manhood. But there was no distinction be, tween them; they all talked, work- ed, or played together freely, for all were lepers. What the worst were the others would become, un- less from some other cause death intervened. Leprosy, unfortunate- ly, does not kill. Wandering along narrow, moss- covered pathways, between huge masses of blossom-laden bushes, and trees covered with wondrous or- chids, talking the while of “home” with a sweet-faced girl, who. still had the English bloom on her cheeks, and the English energy in her manner, it was hard to realize that, only a few hours before, and a few miles away, I had witnessed sights that would have saddened her young life for many a day, perhaps for ever. She dived herT1ttle, hafnofl in, and found some sweets. Then they both scampered away, triumphant. "She was a deeply religious girl when she came here," the doctor, whispered, as we went out into the burning sunshine "and she has never changed.” The doctor told me that he had known lepers die of old age, and I saw more than one man there over seventy, and an old woman nearly eighty. Some had been in the place the greater part of their lives. "The pain never seems quite to leave me now," was the patient an- swer, as tho man went on deftly weaving a basket; "but it is a bit easier." In most cases there is, fortunate- iv, no very acute pain-at all events during the greater part of the course of the disease, But, enough. Everything that could be done to brighten the lives of the wretched dwellers in this house of pity and of pain was done by the Government and by private charity, yet some of the things I saw there cannot be written down. On the afternoon of that same day I went to a garden-party, given by Lady H-----, the Governor's wife, in the beautiful grounds of King's House-an earthly paradise which would be hard to beat even Trt the tropics. _ “IE there -much pain this morn- ing?” the doctor asked of one very bad case.

She delighted in talking to mild- mannered. sun-tanned men, who had been in wild places and done bloody deeds, which they carefully sub-edited for her benefit. She inspected with reverent awe the treasures of King's House, with its relics of by-gone naval heroes who made the Empire. She felt, like Charles Kingsley when he vis. ited the West Indies, that all the beauty and glamor and romance she had read about and dreamed about had come into her life at last. I do not think I ever saw man or woman more frankly, glori- ously happy than she was that af- teruoon. The English reserve, the soclety manner. were completely forgotten for once. "Well, dear child," said her hos- tess, when at length she regretfully said good-bye, "I hope you have had a nice time!" "Oh, it is all perfectly heavenly l” she sighed.

An air-" gument which we might mention in favor of silage in addition to those which we have already mentioned in the present high cost of feeds. All grains and feeds of all kinds are higher in price than they have been in the past and the prospects aye that they will continue to be high for some time. There is no way that we know of to supplement high priced grain in dairy feeding except by the use of silage. We, therefore, believe that every dairy- man, and every farmer who has young cattle on his hands, can well afford to consider the silo as a val- uable adjunct in his/feeding, opera-" tions. The task of training a colt re- quires patience. Lessons must be repeated time after time in order to make sure that the colt is learn- ivg and that he does not forget. It is a wise precaution to hitch the colt with an older horse that has a good gait. The colt is thus apt to acquire a, like step.

The question as to how mature corn should be before using for silage is much less in dispute than it used to be.
