which the maid brought in at that moment during their simple tea and the evening that followed there were other things to talk of and it was only after dinner when- they wero left alone with their work and their books that mrs wylie mado refer ence to the afternoons proceedings on my way back from hicks she said conversationally j i met sir edward afalindoed brenda looked up from the heavy volume on her lap and waited with somo interest mrs wylio paused some time before continuing she leant to one side and took up a largo workbasket in which she searched busily for something yes she murmured at length with iter face literally in the qasket and theo is in st peters burg st petersburg repeated brenda slowly in the winter i rather envy him i do not imagine said mrs wylie still occupied with the di shevelled contents of her work- baskot that he is there on plea sure brondn laughed lightly theo she observed in a casual way is not much givon to pleasure in an undiluted -state- i like a man who takes lifo and his lifes work seriously so do i assented brendaindif- forehtly she knew that mrs wylie was studying her ace with kindly keen ness and so she smiled in a friendly way at the fire- wfilch seemed to dance and laugh in- reply is it generally known that he is in st petersburg she asked with somo interost oh no sir edward told mo in confidence he says that it docs not matter much but that ho and theo would prefer it not being talk ed about why has he gone asked the girl mrs wylic laid stairs the common door with its civil porter and the general air of joint proprictorcnlp brenda did not loso sight of the possibility that mrs wylie might be longing for tho familiar faces and pleasant votcos of tho humblo dwel lers in wyvenwich but tho proposal to return to wyls hall was appar ently unpremeditated and therefore the girl doubted its sincerity not on my account she in quired doubtfully without looking p no on my own i am longing for the old place brenda this fog and gloom makes ono think of the brightness of wyvenwich and tho sea which is always lovely in a frost lot us go at once tomorrow or the next day the winter is by no moans over yet and london is detestable even if we arc snowed up at wyls hall it doos not mat ter much for it is always bright and cheery despite its lonoliness wo will take plenty of books and work the girl mado no further demur and presently caught the infection of her companions cheerful enthusiasm mrs wylio possessed the pleasant art of making life a comfortable thing under most circumstances and for such as her a sudden move has no fears while trist adapted him self to circumstances mrs wylio scorned to adapt circumstances to hersolf which is perhaps the more difficult art tho good lady seemed somewhat relieved when the inove was finally decided upon and arranged neverthe less there was a look of anxiety on her round face when eho sought her room that night i wish she observed to her own reflection in tho lookingglass that i knew what to do i must be a terrible coward it would bo so very easy to ask brenda outright though i know what tho i answer would be poor child and i might just as well have spok en out boldly when i wont to sco him that night it is a difficult predicament because they are both so strong lastt poseossor of the name kindly j honest admiral wylie lies in his great solitude among the nameless northern dead far away in the do- eertml korso churchyard upon tho mountainside brenda gilholme found a place for herself even to her it was clear that ixrs wylie had need of someono to bear her company in her widow hood and so she stayed unqueatton- ingly at wyls hall now that mrs wylie hod returned there here she lived just like an ordin ary littlo country maiden she knew all about the tides and sym pathized with the marshman- when the northcast winds blew against the ebbing tide and laughed at his five creaking windmills she learnt the names of all tho six stalwart coust guardsmen stationed at mizzon heath and was deeply versed in the smuggling lore of this famous smug gling country these constguards- men with their civil tongues and ready ways occupied an important position in the domestic economy of wyls hall their little turf refuge was at the foot of the kituhen gar den anti there a pleasantspoken man was to be found by night and day women axe

frozen in in it she had found a place among its denizens a welcome and this was life this the end and aim of all existence to do a little good to leave a pleasant memory in a few hearts they walked to wyls hau through the high street of the lit tle town down toward tho sea up a steep path on the cliff and finally across the moor all green things were building tender shoots and bold weeds alike overhead tho larks were singing in gladsome chor us side by side tho three friends walked and talkod ofthe weather i mention it because none of the three took muoh interest in the mat ter as a rule nor ever talkod of it spring is upon us aguin mrs wylio had said during the first pause yes answered trist this wea- thor always makes mo restless more so than usual inquired pgenda innocently trist looked at her sldeqays yes ho murmured moro so than usual i suppose a new fund of energy creeps into my somnolent being do you really believe inquired mrs wylie with exceeding great in terost that uo weather has so much effect upon one as that i am sure of it there is no denying the act that in the spring time when nil things aro beginning to grow men grow energetic ii they be working they work harder fighting fight harder playing play harder tho majority of events happen in the first six months of tho year so the unexpected may be ex pected before july suggested mrs wylie quietly that may be expected at all times thus they talked on in vague com monplaces not entirely devoid of a second meaning perhaps brcndn scarcely joined in the conversation it was enough for her to listen to tbese two strangely assorted friends who seemed to her analytical mind to be rather different in each others i company than they were before the rest of the world when they had reached the house the girl went upstairs to remove her hat and jadket leaving her two companions together in tho library this was g goodslzcd room with a broad oldfash ionetl bowwindow of which even the panes of glass were

always been rashly indifferent to criticism all through february and march the two ladies had lived happily at wyls hall without longing for the busier life of london at times mrs wylie heard nhopt

ho turned with grave deliberation and met her steady gaze well she inquired well ho reiterated how long are you going to stay i til monday this being friday he signified assent and turned away again

milk even from tho very smallest cottages would deteriorate in quel ity as compared with what was previously renowned as danish but ter and ruin the reputation of dan ish butter abroad which would undoubtedly have rosulted in lower prices but to the great won der of all nothing of the kind hap pened in the course of a few yoars after tho cooperative movement imd commenced it was manifested with dairy exhibitions publicly and pri vately by tho opinions of tho whole butter trade that even the best ar ranged and most carefully conducted private estato dairies with their several hundred of well kept cows had all they could do to keop up in general quality with tho produce from the cooperativo dairies as years have passed these latter have made such headway that at the pres ent day it is a fact they are ahead of tho estato dairies as to quality this oxperienco having gained ground by and by the ostato own ers began to calculate if it would not pay them better lo discontinue their privato dairies and instead de liver their milk to the nearest co operative dairy many of thorn havo already dono so with tho result that the numbor of private dairies is get- ting smaller every year while the cooporativo concerns are getting both larger and also more numerous but tho total number of butter fac tories in denmark- is decreasing three years was 1044 in 1002 as said above only l400 tho throe- years 131 ostato dairies and 51 joint dairies have been dis continued while only 44- now coop erative dairies have been established j the dairies are thus only slowly in creasing in number but the quan tity of milk handled by them is in creasing considerably every yoar tho tendency seems to bo that the largo dairies handling tho milk from loop cows and upwards swallow iip tho smaller ones so that while the pro duction of butter in dorimark is rnr- idly rincreasing the riuinbervf dan ish dairies is rapidly getting sriiall- or the danish buttor producors-com- pany a socioty formed with tho viow of establishing a uniform- zrfarkj for all danish butter exported is now said to embrace 975 danish dairies the crop will further respond to considerable additions of active nit rogenous manures to tho dung par ticularly of nitrate of soda a free supply of potash salts is essential to the proper development of tho mangold henco a specific pot ash manuring is desirable oven when dung is used in large quantitios and on a strong soil initially rich in pot ash when nitrogenous manures aro used in additional dung tho potash i salts should be increased pro rato in order to maintain tho health and feeding value of the crop and to bring it to maturity in conjunction with dung phos- phatlc manure is- hardly necessary and will give little appreciable re turn especially when tho crop is grown in rotation as soluble alkaline salts are bene- ficial to the mangold crop either as direct foods or economisers of pot ash a dressing of salt should al ways be included among tho manures for the mangold crop based upon these findings a liber al dressing for mangolds would be about 5 cords of good stable ma nure 500 lbs nitrate of soda 500 lbs sulphate of potash and 200 lbs common salt per
