It aeetaed to him that in the rw- ling notes there were the song of hiros, the dash of merrj wsves, the gladness of the saasbine, the butter of little ehildren. Then the gialdness grew and grew until it was Almost pain. There was a tbnlliijg iotensitr in those broken oLorda, those littie irteg- al«r pauses, thoae restless harmonies that changed ever heion their full fruition. It seemed to bim that her music was like the rapture of a human soul, imperfect as yet, but developuift ever towards perfection. At length the rapture was broken by a oraeb of discord. 'i'hen there was a storm for a while, storm and strui^gle and wild fierce ag- ouy, until the storm died away t-i sheer exbaastion, and nothing was left of it but long low moaningB. They hart bun â€" those long low moaniuRs, and once be thoogbt of pnt- ing a sprightly fantasia before ber and bidding her play it; but be changed bis mind and waited, watobing for the slue. What did it moan, this march of Uie notes, gathering strength and swelliug bader, clearer, to a burst ot exulta- tion Bbe stopped abruptly and her slender bands lay idle npon the keys. "What have you been playing t" he asked. "I have been playing my thoughts," answered Viola, with fngid composure. CH.vrTss Xil. In the Wye Valley the trees bee|tn to don their autumn livery. The weeks crept slowly by, but still Col- onel Pettitt stayed on at Burgot Grange, like an "Old Man of the Sea" astride William Burg3t's shoulders, declining to be removed. The iocuhus grew almost unbear- able, yet the unwilling host made no efifort to dislodge his guest, In occaBioual looks and tones, in allusions, prei^nant with veiled sar- casm, to their ancient intimacy in In- dia, William Burgot detected dormant suspicion and be feared to arouse a monster which might turn anc' rend him. As to the Colone he was perfectly content. The wines, the viands, the amusements, the society, were quite to bis taste, and particularly the somety. This middle-aged Mars had found m Clara Dallas a Venus to his liking, and he was madly in love with her. Clara smiled sweetly upon ber alor- cr and accepted his homage â€" when William Burgot was not present â€" most graciously. She was glad to have this recond string to hei bow, to be fitted and used, perbapf, if the first should snap. Failing William Burgot and his fifteen thousand a year, she might be glad to fall back on Colonel Pettitt and his half-pay, par- ticularly if his half pay were supple- mented by a good private fortune. She prepared many dainty lures to en- trap the Colonel into communicative- ness upon the latter point, but withoat result. He SbW tiie lures, he was conscious of the mercenary nature of his god- dess r he knew that, however sweet her smilee, however gracious her man- ner, she wonld not permit a definite declaration of his affection unless he could surround himself, like Jupiter, with a shower of gold. A charmed circle was drawn about ber, over which no one might pass but he who was ireaaore^laden. He felt that if he should bo rash enough to break through, it wonld be the prelude to a summary dismissal. For the Colonel was poor, very poor, for a man in his position and likely to remam so, unless m following op certam vague suspicions he might chance to find a royal road to fortune. He was not jealous of WilUam Bur- got tor the Squire's manner towards Clara was not one to inspire mistrust or to iifford Mrs Robert occasion to felicitate herself on the result of skill- ful diplomacy. He let the girl make court to him, ia her playful kittenisb way, whilst the Colonel smiled be- nignautly, as upon an affection of fil- ial regard. But, remembering Mrs. Robert's overtures, and noting the oontinnal eudorseqaent of them visible in Clara's little attentions, WilUam Burgot felt too disgusted to reload. It woold be time enough, he reasoned, to pluck this over-ripe plum when the chance of starying became more im- laiaant. ""What are your plans for the morn- ing, Burgot?" asked the Colonel one di^ at breakfast. "I think we might try the aovers adjoiaiac Armidale's land â€" in Caot, I ananged Isat sight that we shoald meet him at-tan sharp." ••How dflUghtful i" cried Mn.

"Only a wild eat could have given you those beauty-marks," be observed. "Onoe 1 saw a poor fallow's arm rip- ped open in a similar way, Do you remember the tiger-hiut ot Janirapore Burgot?" Did he remember William Bur- got's face turned ghastly pale. For one instant he met the speaker's glance, then his eyes sought the ground. "How ill you look I" cried llrs. Bobfrt. "Dear Clara, giye the poor fellow some brandy in a tumbler I" "I fenr its a nasty sprain â€" the pain is intense," replied William Burgot, huskily. "You must all excuse me. I shall go bouie." He did not wait for condolences or for remonstrances, but strode away. Clara hurried after him, with expires- sicns of solicitude. Colonel Pettitt watched her with eyes that were fall of triumphant amusement. He drank much champagne and made jests ss they ate the ^/*t»tot repast and he shot very wildly after- wards, missing many birds without the shghtest impairing of his joyous- nesa. When the spurt was over, and be and Lord Armidale were slowly re- turning to the Grants, they encoun- tered "dear Clara" and Viola, who had oorae to meet them. As a matter of course. Lord Armidale took posses- sion of his betrothed, and Miss Dallas and the Colonel wero left to entertain each other, They walked through the weeded ways together, and they paused for a moment in a dell where the leaves bad drifted together, to note how the great artist Nature had dashed ber colors on the trees and made them look beauti- ful. And, so strouK is the magician Love, this middle-aged soldier ^ew yotmt; a^ain all the forgotten ro- mance of his nature rame surging to his heart. All cLruugh his after-life he would remember how, at that in- stant, dead leaves rustled about his feet, the wind sighed through half- denuded bougl s, and the touch of Clara's hand upon his arm thrilled him with ecstacy. "My stay at the Grange has been a very happy one," he said; "but the happiest experiences must have au end. Tcmorow I go away." "So soon, and so suddenly ' asked Clara. Her eyes, her reproachful tones, said much more, filling him with almost delirioas joy, yet, in the height of his delirium, he recognised that he must not presume upon the tenderness they imphed. "I am called away on pressing busi- ness," he said. "1 am going to Italy." "On what errand?" asked Clara, with the most innocent and child-like directness. "To develop a gold mine." said the Colonel, with a jocose playfulness. "Until today, Miss Dallas, I have been a poor man now I see a fair prospect of becoming a rich one. I believe my gold mine will produce not less than five thousand a year. In t}-H!ase, would you like to go halves with me " He looked into her eyes eagerly. In spite of the jocosenees, he was trembling with eagerness, and he saw clearly enough that she apprehended t]e serious meaning which underlay his jest. Clara Dtdlas became sud- denly grsTe, and hesitated for many seconds ere she answered. Then, witli a beaming smile, she uttered the monoeyllaUe "Yes," and let bim withdraw the gloved hand from his arm and press his lips to it passion- ately. He hroke into jest and laughter again after that; the homeward walk was a very vnenj one. When they reached the Grange he asked for his host, and was informed that William Bargot intended to dine alone in his study, having given orders that no one should disturb him. So Colonel Pettitt, ere lie entered to oress for dinner, asked for pen and paper and wrote a brf et note, "Dear Bargott â€" I am called away hastify on pressing business, and I re- gret that, as I moat leave by early toaia to-morrow and yua are desirous of.aa lavaEdf privacy, I shall have no (^portanity to thank vou personal- ly for all your hoefitam kindness.

Certainly she should have prefer- red the Colonel but William Bargot had fifteen thonaaud a year. "Clara will you be my wife Will yoo marry me this d^ month " And "dear Clara, thinking she would take marvellously good care the engagement was not proclaimed until the Colonel had d.aprted, answered â€" "I wiU." CkaptbbXIII. The weeks crept slowly, slowly. All things are comparative, and, •hove all, the flightof time. It was a long, long month whteh preceded the day fixed for tbe double espousals -the marriage of Lord Armidale and Viola B-irgut, of William Burgot and Clara Dallas. Doubtless there were mnltitades of insolvent merchants and impecunious men of pleasore looking forward to the coming maturity of bills they could not hope to meet, to whom the month appeared tu melt away with in- credible bwiflness but lo these four bappf or unhappy lovers it seemed as though It Would never oome to an end. How uiauy mariages would take place if the contractine parties, who anticipated them with such eagerness, could throw off the glamour of soft mendacious speeches and loviug half- truths, and read with accuracy each other's hearts How very rarely do men tell "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth" to the wo- man whom (hey profess to adore 1 Somebody once wished, in a moment of enthusiasm, that he had windows to his soul. Perhaps it never occur- red to him how very often he would need lo pot up the shutters, and to stop with ears every chink and crevice through which a warning beacon-light nright faintly glimmer. Lord Armidale had won his bride in sense but not as he won her long years before, when they had lounged amongst the wild-flowers and the weeds, beside the idle fountain, the shattered column end the headless Apollo. Then she had given herself to him utteriy. All the rich treasure of maidenly affection she had lavished ungrudgingly and without stint, with a child's innocence, witli an Italian woman's fiery enthusiasm, with burn- ing impassioned words which conceal- ed notLing for in her spotless purity and her unconventional ignorance she knew not that there was aught to con- ceal. She had shown bim every tbdught of her young heart and had made him feel that in every fibre of her being she belonged to him, and to him a' one. Now she had given herself again, promising to become his wife but as yet there was no real surrender.

In the September number of the American \Agriculturist Dr. George Thurber illustrates a comon trouble at our local fairs as follows "People bring things, which,not being proper- ly exhibited, are unnoticed, and, as a consequence.they do not bring any- thing next year. It should be the bus- iness of some one at every fair to look out for these details. Many a good housewife robs her garden to make up a large decorative bouquet, and when she reaches the fair, finds no place to put it. It can only be laid down some where, probably in the sun. no one to take charge of it or care for it. It is the neglect of these little things that discourages^contributors. Take such a bouquet, for example, a proper per sou in charge, if he could not find a proper yase to hold water for it« he would take some newspapers, make a big ball of mud around the stems.bind the papers around the ball, and the bonqliet coult! ctand erect on its mud base, and remain fresh for days.. Those who ha.ve in their gardens can- uas, castor oil plants, large coleuses, or other decorative plants that can be spared) can do mndi toward deco^-at- mg,but they must begiu a weekor two beforehand. Get from the store, nail- kegs, and boxes of various sizes if likely to be heavy put in rope handles Take up such plants as can be spared for the purpose, and pot them in these kegs or boxes, taking up as much earth with the roots as practicable.Do this towards night, place in shed or in other sheltered place, where the wind will not reach them, and water both B'il and foilage. The few that wilt will recover in a day or two.wlien they may be placed outside. When ready to take them to the fan-, use stakes and twine to prevent them from jolting in the wagon and getting brok- en. When the plants are set in place, cover the kogs or boxes with browu paper. If one has plenty of Arbor- vitffi trees.be can cut them judiciously and find that the twigs or branches are things of which their cannot be too many for decoration. Let who- ever goes to the fair with the intention of working, toke a paper of stout tacks another of stout pms, balls of twine, fine and coarse, several pencils, some blank cards, a stout jack knife, and above all, a cheerful spirit, that Icadit to the doing of everything that needs to be done to make all tilings show to tiieir beet â€" bring order ont of chaos."
