Once again sho shades her bloodshot eyes and stares up at the sky. In crossing the woods she must have struck mistakenly to tho west Tho sun is nearing the set, and Peggy now knows she has come to Farnham heath where, report has it, some of tbe boldest cutthroats in the country rule the roost Shall she start to cross it? Kennaston village lies only ten miles on t'other side of It That will-o'-the-wisp tower, that castlo yonder, yes, 'tis home! And she such a dullard as not to have mistrusted it before! She will push on. Why not? What has she, forsooth, to tempt any thief, unless he took her for ransom. Well, let him, since Percy de Bohun at thiB very moment in all likelihood kneels at the feet of Lady Diana. If highwaymen want to bear her off, why should she complain? And just then the tinkle of the little brook at the wayside beckons in her ladyship's ear, -the~c������sde4owor\"app���������ars_to-be\"danciag- up and down against the sky, tha two stark trees yonder on the heath are surely turning somersaults, the bundle drags all forgotten at her heels and presently lies In the tall grasses which sho threaded on her way to tbe brook. Her head swam; ten thousand blunderbusses seemed to be firing off insldo of it She pulled off her wig and threw it far from be*?. She unbuttoned her coat and waistcoat and drew brr cloak in a twist about her. She staggered, caught at an eldei. It swayed with her to tha water as she fell swooning with her thirsty lips just In touch of tho sparkling bubbles, her wan face shining tn tho glint of sunshine, tho whole round world and all tho men and women In It quite forgot, even her sword, unbuckled with tho bedcord, now lay glinting its jewels in tho sedges half a dozen rods away. A pair of robins eyed ber from tbo bushes, a boo swerved and swung above her mouth, tho minnows darted next hor chock, but my lady did not wake for any or nil of thoso, Sho lay there motionless until tho sun had gone down and all tho sweet scents and drowsy sounds and whirs and flutters of twilight had cotae up; until a flno coach wltb four horses and two postilions came prancing and pawing at r great rato of speed out of the wood to the houth; until a llttlo weazened lino gentleman, who bad dozed In bis bod until long past noon for fear of encountering a certain other gentle- man, had risen leisurely, dined wltb relish, sot out from the Queon and Artichoke only after being assured that the othor gentloman had gono off on a mined horse back to Garret lano In tho hopos of obtaining a Btiltablo mount, which somo was not to bo had short of tho ton mllo return; until tho Dttlo gentleman, then, thrusting his faoo out of his conch window as tho vohldo eamo to a sudden standstill, spoke. \"Is this tbo heath?\" ho asks, wltb Winking oyos and a uhlvor. \"Yes, Sir Robin, Farnham heath, sir,\" answers one of the postilions, \"Your pleasure, Mr Robin?\" asks the second man respectfully, quieting bis horses. \"Well,\" returns tho llttlo bnronct, \"If you think wo can gitllop across faster until Uium.' urn us am hi ovi-rtuau ua, l fcuj, {/,'va.v-aJ, li ������Vi{\"��������� Uv ^liiiKi-M back over his shoulder.

Mayhap shot down by them vagabones out of tbe heath. Had I best see if there's any life left in the young,gentleman, sir?\" Sir Robin descends from his coach, a pistol in one hand, a drawn rapier in the other. \"Keep an eye on the lookout, James,\" he whispers to the postilion, who remains in his seat, and the baronet minces in and out of the tall grasses, shaking the dew daintily from his sprawling feet, until he gains the spot, where his man kneels above the prostrate form. \"Ugh!\" says he, turning aside his head in a species of disgust. \"I never could abide the sight of the dead.\" 'Twas the very first time in his life he'd ever had a chance to behold such. \"He ain't quite cold yet, Sir Robin,\" says the postilion. \"There's a flicker to his eyelids, sir. Look!\" The baronet looks. Out of his hands tumble rapier and pistol. '\"Slife!\" he cries, down on his knees, feeling at her ladyship's pulse, pulling his flask from his pocket and trying vainly to pour the liquor between the firmly shut lips. As he tries, the little gentleman's wits work nimbly, which they could do on occasions, and,-not stopping even to wonder at his discovery, only to accept instantly as a fact that his lady had been struck down while pursuing him, he is so overjoyed at the beauty, sentiment and opportuneness of the adventure as to be scarce able to restrain his elation, even in the face of a serious swoon. \"Into the coach at once, James,\" he -saysrraising-ber-ladyshlp's-bead-him*- self; \"Your gentlest endeavors and a guinea apiece to you,\" nodding to the other as between them they carry the limp form to the coach, \"if you bring me to Kennaston castle before curfew.\" \"Never fear, Sir Robin. If the young gentleman only holds out for a single hour, I swear, sir, In tho teeth of all the highwaymen in tbe kingdom, we'll have you there.\" \"Tut, tut,\" says Sir Robin, smiling, no longer restraining an expression of bis happiness and triumph, as he makes ready the rugs and cushions within to receive' the burden James, for tho moment, bears alone. \"Tls no young gentleman, you roguea 'Tls my Lady Peggy Bur- goyno, my bride that is to be.

He beholds Sir Robin and his man lifting a limp and slender form, ill defined, 'tis true, in its swathe of camlet cloak, into the coach; he beholds a head of dark, short hair, a face of ashen pallor, and in two seconds more, before he can rush back and leap into his saddle, motioning Grigson to do'the same, the coach containing Sir Robin and his prize is dashing as fast as whip, spur, sixteen thoroughbred legs and a backing up of wholesome terror can urge it over the bleak and grewsome waste of Farnham heath. \"'Slife, Grigson, man!\" cries Percy, digging steel into the poor roan's flanks till they spurt blood In a stream. \"We must overtake 'em, unhorse 'em, spill out the wretch inside. I'll into the coach then to protect the lody; you mount the leader and gallop us over the heath for your life.\" \"Trust me, Sir Percy,** answers Grigson from a length behind his master. \"God grant, sir, that the roan drop not out of the race and leave us but ono Baddle betwixt you and me, sir.\" \"Poor beast!\" says Percy, pricking her hard and striking her shoulder with the flat of his rapier. \"She'll dio and in a good cause if she gain me tho goal.\" And all the while they're speaking, flash and crack go the whips of Sir Robin's postilions, and Sir Robin's splendid beasts cover the ground with a swing and a will that keeps the coach rocking, but yet awakens not Lady Peggy, whose dark cropped head reposes on the crooked shoulder' of Sir Robin, while her white eyelids remain sealed and no quiver of returning consciousness thrills about her drawn and bloodless lips. \"Gad!\" exclaims Percy, as he beholds the vehicle swinging and spinning farther and farther from him and as Grigson's black now is up nose and nose with his own expiring mare. \"Gad, girl,\" bending his lips to the roan's laid back ear, \"go on! Help me to save herl To reach herl Go on, I say!\" As if the faithful creature comprehended her master's entreaty, with A path open CHAPTER XVIII. thlB very moment two horsemen, sorry mounted enough, especially the master, aro rounding tho turn of tbe woodland and about to emergo upon tbo next tbo heath.

Sketch of the Life of a Man in th������ Public Eye. The Hon. Clifford Sifton, Irish by descent, was born in the township ot London, Ont., on March 10, 1861, tha son of John W. Sifton, formerly speaker of the Manitoba Legislative Assembly, and his wife, Catharine Watkins. Educated at the high school of London, at tho Boys' College, Dundas, and Victoria University, Cobourg, he graduated B. A. and Prince of Wales medalist, in 1880, and was called to the Manitoba bar in 11582. Removing from Winnipeg to Brandcm, where he commenced the practice of his profession, he became city solicitor and solicitor to the Western Judicial Board, and in 1895 was created Queen's counsel by Lord Aberdeen. In 1888 he entered the Manitoba Leg- .islative���������Assembly���������as���������member���������for��������� North Brandon, and joined the Green- way administration on May 14, ,1891, as Attorney-General and Minister ot Education. During his tenure of office he codified the law relating to civil procedure in Manitoba and conducted the negotiations with the Dominion Government on the Manitoba school tuestlon. He Was one of the representatives of the Province at the Ottawa Reform convention of June, 1893, being elected a vice-chairman, acted���������as Premier durihg Mr. Greenway's illness in 1895, and in Juno of the latter year introduced In the Legislature the reso-- lution refusing to carry out the Dominion Government's order of council for the restoration of separate school privileges to tho Catholics of Manitoba. In February, 189G, ho introduced the resolutions protesting against the passags of Parliament of tho Manitoba remedial bill and In March was appointed a commissioner to meet in conferenco with the Dominion delegates to dlcusa the school question. On November 17, 1896, Mr. Sifton retired from the Manitoba Government and entered Sir Wilfrid Lauder's administration as Minister of the Interior and Superintendent General of Indian affairs.

From his earliest boyhood the smell of printers' ink and the rush and hustle of a newspaper office had attractions for him. Whil������| -_.t_ier, are you a monkey?\" still at school his amusement used to be, not so much in sports, though In out of door life few men take a keener or mo^e healthy interest, but in setting type and running a small hand press. Mr. Kerr is a Huron boy, having been born in Goderich in October, 187C. He was educated at St Thomas public schools, -.aving in the interval been at Grand Rapids (Mich.) and Ottawa, with his parents. After completing school, he entered the C. P. R. telegraph service at Ottawa, and for two seasons was detailed in the House of Commons branch office, where he naturally became acquainted With the most prominent men in Canadian journalism and politics. In 1898 on the contest of the Free Press passing from Mr. W. F. Luxton, Mr. A. J. Magum was selected by the management as its editor. Mr. iuagum was the doyen of the Otcawa Press gallery, and when he began the selection of the staff for. the new regime, among others he selected was Mr. Kerr, in whom he had detected the promise of higher possibilities in the faithful djs charge of his duttes as a telegraph messenger. It was in October, 1898, that Mr. Kerr joined the Free Press staff, as the assistant and secretary to the editor in, chief.

Of all the editors J:o^_dealt_JRlth_lS-this_series of ar ticles, the proportion who have attained middle age is insignificant, and the great majority of them have been men whose extreme youth, when considered In conjunction with the responsible ���������positions they occupy, and the respect they deservedly receive from those who know them, gives one accustomed to always associate responsibility with age a severe, shock. Mr. W. F. Kerr, secretary-treasurer of the Leader Times Co., and managing editor of the Regina Leader, Is a typical instance of how western conditions encourage industry and ability. Three years ago he was appointed editor of the most influential weekly paper in the Northwest Territories, and at that time he was only twenty- six years of age. Eight years before that ho had been a C. IVII. telegraph messenger boy.

Under his management and that of his deputy, Mr. Kerr, it has attained a still stronger hold on the confidence of the people of the Territories.

A few years ago while engaged at my work 1 was seized with tbe most acute pains in my back and joints, I ���������became almost a cripple and could ���������scarcely move about. 1 had medical aid, but it did not help me. Then I fce-gan taking a remedy alleged to be a cure for rheumatism and 1 used ten dollars''worth, but derived absolutely sao benefit. The constant suffering 1 ts-as in began to tell on my hitherto ���������strong constitution and 1 became so ttadly run down that I despaired of ever being in good health again.

Remarkable Effects of Inoculation Upon Garden Peas, The short vine (fourteen inches high) was cut from the row of vines nof treated with the culture. It wa* the best vine among those untreated. The tall vine (three feet high) was cut from a row that was treated with the culture of nitrogen gathering germs. This sample fairly represents the growth of all the rows thus treated.. The rows were four feet apart, and the distance between the two plants was about seven feet.

On July 8 I made the first picking from the plot On fifty-three untreated vines, taken as they came, I found 102 pods; on fifty-three treated vines, taken as they came In the next row, I found 856 pods. The first picking well nigh stripped the untreated row. The treated vines yielded three mora pickings. Vines first appeared above tho ground on May 17, and they had reached a height of from two to three inches on June 1. Tbe plot was then of uniform appearance as to the thrift of the vines. On June 1,1 watered all the vines in the plot except one row with a solution or culture of those germs made according to accompanying directions and raked fine dry soil over tha ground thus moistened. After th*t date all the rows were \"cultivated en'ongh to keep tho eur> face soil fine and frea of weeda and Crass and all treated alllta ia every particular. No fertilizer of any kind was applied to any of the rows at any. time before or after planting.

CHASE'S KIDNEY-LIVER PILLS. A Tone for the Debilitated.���������Par- melee's Vegetable Pills by acting mildly but thoroughly on the secretions of the,body are a valuable tonic, stimulating the lagging organs to healthful action and restoring them to full vigor. They can be taken in graduated doses and so used that they can be discontinued at any time without return of th-\\ailnients which they were used to allayV Slow passage of the food through the intestines, where the most difficult part of indigestion takes place, is the usual cause of indigestion. As a result of this delay, the food ferments and the digestive organs are filled with gas, giving rise to such symptoms as belching of wind, rising of sour taste In the mouth, smothering sensations in the chest, pains about the heart, heart palptation, headache and dizziness. To overcome these distressing symptoms the liver must be awakened to action by the use of such a medicine as Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills. Once the liver is active there is a good flow of bile, which as nature's own cathartic, quickens the pace of the food through the intestines, removes tho foul impurities, and restores good digestion and the regular action of the bowels. Stomach medicines are of no avail In this, the most serious form of indigestion. Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills bring prompt relief and cure thoroughly because of their direct and specific action on the ljver. Mr. Duncan McPherson; Content, Alta.' writes:���������\"I was for many years troubled with indigestion and headache and derived no benefit fijom the many remedies used. A friend advised me to try Dr. Chase's Kidney- Liver Pills and after taking four boxes the result is that I am once more in the full enjoyment of good health.\" ' Mrs. J. C. Johnston, Carman, Man'., writes:���������\"I have been a great sufferer , from kidney trouble, and have used Dr. Chase's Kidney Liver.

V23BSZ2SGA .WORLD MISS HELEN A. KNOWLTON. r She Ia the Only Woman Lawyer In tbe State of Maine. One of the most remarkable young women in Maine is Miss Helen A. Knowlton of Rowland, who was born tn that city on April 1, 1874, and who has the distinction of being the only fe- male lawyer in the state. Admitted to the Knox county bar In 1899 after special legislation had granted that privilege to her sex, she has acquitted herself well In the practice of law. Miss Knowlton is not a woman suffragist. She has selected a profession Which is perhaps closer than any other ders in the matter of climbing stairs. One cannot twist or bend over or do any of the other hideous things women usually do upon a flight of stairs���������with a basket of eggs upon her head. These rules are the best of a new system of beauty culture which has become popular of late. The Cobbler And Societu For the Pantry. Every good housekeeper takes par- donnble pride in her neatly arranged kitchen, storeroom and pantries. For such, labeled jars or glass cans and wide mouthed bottles whose contents are easily noted havo almost entirely supplanted tho old time paper bags aud boxes whose contents have such an unfortunate habit of sifting out at inopportune times or else defying identification until much valuable time has been wasted. Now comes a new contrivance made in three different sizes of heavy glass, with cone shaped tops and sliding valves, so that food, such as coffee, salt, Indian meal, tapioca, etc., can be drawn off the same as water from a faucet when the jar is Inverted. Wall or shelf brackets coma wit*-, ���������*--������������ lorn no that tbo holder** mav De attached to the woodwork m tne kitchen or fastened under the shelves in the pantry. They are put up Inverted, so that all the housekeeper has to do is to hold the sugar bowl or measuring cup under, turn the knob and the food runs out. I HU Old Friend Mr. Dinkman Advises Him to Get Into It For Business' Sake. S OME day vhen I don't haf no cobbling to do und belief I shall bring up In der poorhouse my old frend Dinkman comes in und says: \"Hans, I tell you vhat vhas der matter. You don't make society enough. Society means peesness. Der more society der more peesness. If you entertain society in der eavenings society brings you shoes to mend by daylight.\" \"But how can I be society?\" I says. \"Shust ash easy ash grease.

It had been her intention when admitted to devote her- Belf principally to probate matters, but ber sphere soon broadened into general court practice. i Miss Knowlton has an aversion to criminal cases, although she would not ���������brink from fulfilling the obligations Imposed upon her when she took the oath of a lawyer. \"I would not undertake to defend a criminal knowing him to be guilty,\" she said. \"If I were not positive of tbe guilt I should consider it my duty to defend the client to tbe best of my ability.\" Miss Knowlton occupies a high position in social circles and Is accounted one of tho most brilliant members of tbo leading woman's club In Rockland. ���������Boston Globe.

Cut the stems from a half pound of mushrooms and put them aside to use in a stew or soup. Wash the mushrooms, after stemming them, in cold water to free them from dust, strip the skin from them, cut them in quarters and lay them in an earthen baking dish. \"When all the mushrooms are in pour over them enough rich cream to just come up to their level, put in a few pats of butter, season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper, cover the whole with fine breadcrumbs, then sift over the top a little grated Parmesan cheese. Stand the dish in rather a quick oven and let tho mushrooms bake till a rich brown over the surface. Then serve as an accompaniment to broiled chicken ox Just as an entree for dinner. Kitchen Glove*. ^_Be^yery^_car,eful���������abo.ut���������the_range.. Many burns are entirely unnecessary. Make a practice of working as much as you can in a pair of old gloves when you are at the stove. Let the gloves be met by a pair of washable oversleeves, so that there is no bare arm or hand to be spattered by frying lard. Don't be absentminded enough to lift a hot pan without a cloth in your hand. Don't handle things in a clumsy or hurried manner and thus invite burns. The same should be borne in mind when you are handling a knlfo. A little deftness, a little calmness, and you avoid tbe cut tbat flurry would have caused. Improving the Face, A face cream at night and a soft bathing every day In water made milky with tincture of benzoin will improve tbe worst complexions, Benzoin tends to draw tbe mouths of those wretched little pores together and Is altogether harmless. Hundreds of women use just thoso simple remedies patiently, habitually, and are perfectly satisfied with tbo result. If you are addicted to warm watov uso tho benzoin face bath warm, but a cold dasb after the usual morning face bath will give color and brightness to the skin. \"l SHOW Y0TJ HOW SEE WOKKS.\" per, und your woice comes back to you.
