But as she listened to Ihfr nanativc. and road in his words of tjls love for her darling, also of Lody Crus'!'.? fer-of in her bereavement, all jealousy and fear fled fi^om her heart. S.ie was a- quiver with emotion, a gene.'ous cv«-r- flowing emotion, that for the moment minimized all danger and magnil>^.d her Sunbeam's claims. If only she could tell I After oil, why need she nicnl-i.nn Bill? "Listen," she said, as Duncan finished speaking. "I know, like you, that our Sunbeam Is Innocent; but that's 'cause I know her, not for other reasons. And 1 don't mhid lelUng you th^re Ls a mys- tery too about her. But what good win it do to help hor now the police have her? That's bound to oomo on anyhow. Isn't It?" "Yes," ha replied, reluctantly, fear- ful of saying too much and thus arrest- ing the words ho was longing to hoar. "But it might be helpful to know tluil â€"well, that she is not your brother's child. Forgive ray saying that." 'I don't mind. Bills a good sort in his way, but he and law don't hit it, and never will.

Y'ou mu.st wait lor Bill to tell you the Ins and ouls. But I don't mind saying I was coming to Brackloy to tell Lady Cruse, ami then thought 11 would be no use, for the same Wea you have about it came lo mc. But your uncle was the worse, and we've been very good to her, and what Bill will say to mc I don't know! ' With wlUch she fell back upon the usual feminine weapon, weeping. And .so oopkius were her sobs, so incoherent her words, that Sinclair could cull no further Information, and strode from the iv)om in despair. 'Tell the lody I'll return shortly,'' he ssid to the waitress, "and keep her until I return." With which he sped quick- ly to the station to inquire ab-JUt the return train to Munton. Ho would take Hetty with him. and Lody Cru.so would clasp her true daughter to her heart ere the sun set. But on his return to the room ho found It empty. His bird had Ikiwn. Inquiry proved tliat Hetty had been one loo man/ for the waitress, and al- most us s>x>u as he had gone she had wiped her eyes and, sweping nil aside, left the hotel and vanLstKul fiom I heir siglit. F.vld«>ntly her fears had revived and she had (led from lilm. In disgust 1*6 wandered back to the station. Although he knew he might llnd her in a day or two, his .s^ilrlts were damped, and he fell that until he had further proof he oould neither tell I.ndy (;ru.se nor Sunbeam that what he had long su.speole/1 wa.* really tnie. Als^i he reflected that he hail bungled f«arfully in l«ltinK Hetty escape him, for his clue to U".l svas lost, and ho felt convinced that Bill alone oould provo Sunbeam's Innocence. Only two days now were left before the trial, and allliough they all seemed hopeful. In their hearts they knew that imloss Sun- beam t)ctrayed the man she was shield- ing she woukl be proclaimed gullly by nil tho world. CHAPTER XXIX. As Duncan guessed, it was fear that n.ado Hetty Green run away from the hotel during his short absenceâ€" foar of what ho might yet make her say, and of what she had alioady divulged. Clutching her precious handbag, she .itepiied iiesolut-sly Into the quiet skio •stroet, and sped hurriedly towards the bustling main road beyond. Nover had she longed so ardently for a crowd, never had Iho busy tluiroughfaro InvJt- on'xl .so temptingly. Tho sound of Ixr footsteps on tho deserted pavement slnick terr.ir Into her, and *ihe felt her- self a landmark visible to all. If only she could reach the welcome mass of humanity, and kiso herself among It, bef'ire Sinclair returned lo discover her abscn'jol Fop she knew he meant to question lier further, to worm her se- cret from her. Shfl glanced back nerv- ou.sly lo siH» If the wait«»s or Sinclair wei<i^ following her, and sighed, relieved, as no sign of living being sliowed be- Iweon her and Iho liotol. A few more steps and she would bo safeâ€" a few more steps and â-  She collided heavily with a tall man, who seemed lo have sprung up sudden- ly heforfl her. As he, loikcd down Bt>olocetirally her heart lhunipe<l with npprchensi«)n. K-ir perhaps he wa.s a friend of Mr. .Sinrlnir's. The thought Rp\irroil her on. She brokv into a heavy, si'nstiKidiii run. He overl<vik her. "Can I do nnylldng for your' hn ask- ed. "You seem In a hurrj-. Shall I hall n cat'?" Stie shook her head, loo hrenlhloss lo Ki">nk. "I enn pet you one fn n seroml," he c^.iitlnued nersunslvelv. ns lliev reachc-l th<> bu«v pnvein''nt I.Tiv'hT. She met h!s eyes Inquiringly, her su- spicions still wrangling with her wish for the proffered help. They were kind, friendly, unsuspicious eyes, and won the day for him, for she felt a sudden shame of her doubts. Why Indeed should h. bo Mi". Sinclair's friend? London was a big place, and they were not the two only men In It. Besides, Mr. Sin- clair had Jumped out of a hansom com- ing inio Tuslon Station. Sho wiis an addUvheaded tool about to lose her chanco of escape, perhaps. No doubt providence had thrown [his stranger across her path. "Yesâ€" Iâ€" Iâ€" wont a 'bus," she panted. "That one coming now. Will you slop U, please?' And ere the words were quite out of her HKiuth he had obeyed, and was piloting her across the road to the waiting vehicto. As she dropped into her seat her eyes dilated with ostonLshment. For he had folkiwed, and sat facing her. "We are lucky to get one so spooni" he exclaimed, meeting her inquiring gaze with a llttlo smile. Despite her relict at her escape, she felt uneasy, for her suspicion.s of him had returned. Could he be following her? Was he a detcclive? She watched hlra anxiously as he tendered his fare. Perhaps be would mention the quarter he wanted, or But no. He sal silent, and e\ddenlly ciuitc unconscious of her anxious scru- tiny. But when the only olher occupant of the omnibus got outâ€" she was a slim, golderir-haired damselâ€" he leaned to- wards Hetty and said meaningly, with a twinkle of mischief in his eyes:- "Her hair reminds one of Sunbeam.' To sny that she was surprised Is not enough. She nearly shot from tlie seat in her astonishment, whilst her face grew grey, then green, with fright. Ijord St. Aubinâ€" tor it was heâ€" smiled. His words had ben spoken at random; ho had not expected their having such an effect, and drew back with a puzzled crease between his brows. Ho had witnessed from afar Sinclair's meeting with llelty, and guessed that 11 had something to do with Sunheam. Idle curiosity or mere devilry had made him wait about outside the hotel, and then Holly's distress had touched him. He was ain>ist?d also at Ihe thought of scoring off Duncan by helping the wo- man in her night, for it was evident that sho was running away tfom Dun- can; that he thercfoix; would leluru lo Ihe iiOtel In search of her. Mere devilry also liad prompted him to accompany her and to make the remark about Sun- beam. The fear now on tho woman's face seemed Inoompi-ehensible, unless It was due lo Sunbeam's present posi- tion, which naturally would aliirni any of her friends. But, ns he sat silently cigilaling, he began lo see more than that in Hetty's distrcs-s and alarm. And he ha<I heard enough about Sunbeam U) guess Ihal this rcspcclable, honestk> iking woman was the aunt who had brought her up, the sister of Itie convict-burglar. At Ihat juncture his thoughts assumed a new course. He looked eagerly across at tho woman's agitat^>d face, then ris- ing, notldwl indifforently at her, and then slippetl to Iho ground. Glancing back from the pavement, he met her eyes on his, though the next moment tho omnibus lurnlng tho corner, bore her out of .sight, Thon he hailed a han.som, whispered hurried directions to the driver, and swung rourMl the corner as the oinni- I'UK rumbled off again alter a momen- tary wait. But Hetty's fears had vanished then, tor she had seen Ihe stranger, who h.id been so kind and was yel .so mysteri- ously acquainted with her affairs, turn his back on her and rolrnce his slejis towards Euston. Why he had lol lowed her into tho bus, why he had startled her by Iho strange remark, she c<5uld rwt imngino, lut, at all events, he meant no harm, or by, her silence, tlioughl himself on the wrong track. At all events, she was safe. And she hud not beli'ayed Bill. Had she noticed that a ccrtoln han- som dodged her, following her at a safe distance nflor she had alighted from the 'bus and unlil she re:ichoU her home, she would not have felt so reasr surcd as to Bill's safely. fopeolally had she also known that, a few minutes later, St. Aubin entered the ncarcs.1 po- lice station and plunged into a low voiced coiwerstttloa wl'.h the inspector oi. duty. Although SL Aubin loved Eileen and had promised lo help her, he felt a lurking pily for Sunbeam, and bel cved her inn jcciit. Ho also thought that Ei- leen was genuine In her belief of the girl's guilt. Therefore, lie felt now that what he had begun In joke must be can-'ied out in earnest, and Ihat his sudden thoughtâ€" that tho woman he had tracked lo t'cr honw could perhaps tell of .Sunbpan-,N Inwicenceâ€" must not be cast as'de as Impossible. F.ileen might bo ongry with Mm at first. But Inter, ho felt euro, she would thank him fhr preventing her fmm mnk'ng a iprrlble mistake, though for the pre- sent she need know nothing at all. But the tale ho had to tell wn.s not easily believe<l by tho thicl(-hende<l of- flrliil. wh<i lisleiMHl lo him with an In- creduUnis .smile. "Wc want facl". sir, not supposIHons,' he multoitHl coldly. "And you shall have them, if only y<u'll do what I say. Rul if we wus'c lime we m.-w f;ill allogether," iv'orted SI. Aubin. "The woman may siwoect me. and. for all 1 know, not at once. Ttie sooner you .sel lo work the belter." "We can't work without proof," ?n ff'd the other. "hk>nsc;!ser* exclaimed St. Aubin hot- ly. "Am I to leave it lo you, or go else- where? Am I to " "Let's Iiear it again, and then Til soc, ' replied the cautious one, opening hie' note book and picking up his pencil with a sigh of resignation. • • • • "So there y' are!" exclaimed Bill as Hetty entered the house hurriedly and locked tho door behind her. "Wot 'avc you bin up to? I must 'ave come 'ome hours ago? 'Your shoppin' ain't very showy neither." He glanced at the handbag she laid en the table, and yawned noisily. Hetty sat down with a sigh. -Should she loll him or should she not? She kwked anxi- ously at his sulky face. Was he cross or merely tired? Durst she mention Sunbeam? He turned to her again. "I wanled you pjrlickler, an' oas o' that you was out. But we wont waste breath about that. I've a lot lo do and preshus lillle time to do It in. I kn«iw female? can no more give up gaddin' and gliicln' tlvjir noses ler slwp winders than they can stoo breathin", si Til for- give you, only you'll ave to work double 'ard, thal's all, if you mean lo stick to me." He was speaking quickly in a thick, hushed whisper. N.^w and then he glanced nt Ihe window as though fear- ful of interruption. (To be Continued.) ^ OK IE FM THli FELDING OF FAR.M ANIMALS.

In tho Colloge herd, the most profllable <ow was the heaves - lecding one. Such a view dd not, how- ever, suit tho ideas of niaiiy famiors, I One day the sji«dker was showing a 1 farmer the Cv-llogo lierd. airid pointed out a oow that was g.ving 18,000 lounds of milk annually, und which :was (listing ab ut $80 a y-nr tor feo.l.

It lihose arguments wei-e s-dij, th^n he best tarm.ng outlook was along the dairy line, but there are whole sec- iiuns, amd parls, perhaps of every sec- tion, where beef-rais.ng ought lo t« and can be carried on al a profit. \ gocd deal had been said that day about the dual-purpose cow. For his fthe .ipeaker's) part, if he were a teef farm- or, ho would own bocf cows capable ol giving a good flow of milk, but would call ihem good milking beet catl.e. I he were a dairyman, he would ke^ that sort of cow as far away from his 'arm as passible. Then, as lo feed?. The Maritime Provinces were e.<=SAntl- ally adant-^d lu the raising of hay, gieen f:dJer and roots, but, with some fcxteplions, they did not produce grain a? cheaply as place* further west, and Ibc fanner ought .^o lo arrange his farm as lo get the greatest proOt from those produots. With regard lo hay, «f Ihoy were lo gww tt at all, it would cer.«inly be more proQlabte to grow only the iKst luality. Whether f«>r dairy or beet MlLlc, clover hay was much the most .'Ihcient, and w^jukl help to savo the zrain bill, at less expense to tha f«t>- tility of the soil. In r<Jols, these Prov- inces easily excel the West. They form a most cheap and desirable feed for fat- tening calll!! and also inducing a £0>1 iiwlk flow. With ro-otJ, it was possible to use cheaper and coarser feed, and <hey minisle:ed ^i Ihe health of all slock. Tlie quantity lo be fed varied, of oour»', wHh the animal. In some cases, one or even two tu^hels per cow would ool be too much, but about M pounds a day would be found an eoo- nom'cal amount. Too much oould not he said as to Ihe value of forage crops. Peas and oals mixed were particularly valuable, and pcrha-\s -more easily prown in s;->me parls than torn. If cowi are milking, their use will maintain the milk flow, end, it dry, Ihey wxiuld pro- nv>le otndit'on, and wre mast valu- abk) (or beet cattle and sheep. THE UNHAPPY FATHER.
