They darkened and light- ened in sudden fear. He put an arm about her, with a protecting tender- ness, and felt her heart leap .under his hand. “Oh, no, no, she said. “He would kill you. I'am sure he would “kill you. He must never know. If will go away. I know a. convent in France where they would take me in, where I should be safe.” So her fear was for him. “My little love,”-he said, and_his voice Shook, “Say ‘I love you, Don, and J will. marry’ you.’ - Leave me the fest. There is no convent for you, seeing that you love me and I love you. I shall know how to keep my own.” : ‘ “J am afraid—so afraid that he may hurt you.” : 2 The Squire stooped and kissed the —a stealthy sound outside the .door, a knocking at the door.

There must be no noise about her, no talk, no scandal. The latch was lifted. . There was the sound of someone pressing hard}4 against the door.. A pause. The footsteps went around. the « house, stealthily, slowly, ‘with. the . sound like a padding of some heavy animal. | The Squire put ‘the girl out of his arms to extinguish the lamp. He had had a sudden fear that below ‘the ) through chink, the light. might . shine. room now was in complete darkness. He could feel the beating of Dolly’s heart against his own as he. went back to her and drew her. to him in the darkness. It was nt so -he wish- 2 For a long time now I have almost forgotten to pray.” ~ ‘l-am going to tell them now—to- night that you have given yourself to me. 1 want all the world to know it. But you must not stay. -here alone: If you insist upon it I shall spend the: night outside watching your window. It would be no hard- ship on such a night.” “You must-not do that;’ she said.| “I will come with you, and you shali tell them. He will not trouble me there. While I stayed there he let me alone, or: the influence failed. 1 will do whatever you will, always.” He unbarred the.door and. stepped out into the shadow .of the: house: Beyond lay the. little garden, . the shadow of the apple trees. flung on to the beds in ‘the. bright ‘moonlight. She stayed to extinguish the lamp, to find the key of the door. ‘ While he stood there in. the shad- ow he had the strangest feeling that his life was threatened. It was \as though a knife «were lifted . to be plunged between his shoulder blades. Nerves: of course! _ Nothing but nerves.. What was coming to him that he Should be afraid? It seemed a long space of time while Dolly ex- tinguished the lamp and found the key. He had time to turn sick with terror lest at this moment, when-he had gained her, when she needed him so terribly,-his thread of life should be. slit. : ; He broke from the fear as one breaks, with horrible struggles, from a nightmare. There was a cold sweat on his forehead; but he was his own man again. He said to himself that he knew. now how men felt “when they looked on Fear. He turned about and gazed at the yew hedge by which he ‘had-ben standing. For a second he imagined that’ he saw something—something gthin and light like a wraith of the moonlight: For a second he thought it had, Mar» Champney’s eyes, that something like wings had closed around him... Of course ‘it was nothing but a mist. The: day. had been. warm, and the earth was steaming . in the heavy dew: Dolly .was by his . side, very gentle; very submissive, softer than ed to protect her; not in the dark-|thistiedown, “but warm-and_living. ness listening for a foot as though he were. afraid.

Her voice whispered. at his ear: “I want to open the door.” He guessed what had happened. The man outside the door was exercising a hypnotic influ- doors: whic ard bre: enct upon the girl. He was ‘willing}> her to come to him, to the door. i e His hands closed upon her-should- ers, gently, yet firmly. “Turn to your prayers, my dear,” he whisper- “You shall ‘not open the door.” With something like a sigh she rest- ed in quietness. ~~ = At last. they heard the. man’ go away. They did not dare to move lest his goitg should be a pretence. Never in all his honorable life had the Squire stooped to such a thing as to hide in the dark while his “én- open “Light the lamp,” the . girl said, with a long sigh. “He has’ gone fur- ther and further away.” Bre While he funtbled for matches he became aware that she had left him, but before h¢e could be uneasy while the flame of the lamp lit up, showjng the familiar quict room, she was back again. “He is gone,” she said with a sigh. She. was looking very white and dis- turbed. Her eyes were as though she had just awakened. “He - is gone,” she said. “There is bright ioon+ light now, and_I saw him go across the field path. You had better go, my love.. I shall be safe for tonight.” . She reached up her arms, and clasped’ them. about his neck. “IT have loved you all the time,” she said. “Ever since that first day you came into the New Cottage. 1 was in despair then. -He had begun. ‘to exercise hjs influence over me. I was terribly afraid. When you came in. I looked at you, and I felt. that God-had sent me a champion.” | “Oh, my dear,” said the. Squire, overwhelmed, “And I. had. -been fecling so old.

How little you know! You will give me rest and peace. You will save me from myself, and him.” He resisted the temptation to pro- something of a dark shadow upon it. “My dear,” he said, “*you will nev- er regret it. Now, I am going to take you back to your brother. You must not be alone here again.” She shrank away from him with a little. frightened cry. “What will they think?” she said.) “Let me stay here. 1 shall be quite safe.

(Continued.) _The disposing .of produce near the city is quite different, however.-There is a larger market to cater to, and many articles can be sold: that the far-off country woman cannot send in, and.good country produce a more moderate than the price asked in the store, while the country _wo- man is glad to supply when she finds a goad customer; but the producer and. consumer must get together and understand’ the situation thoroughty, or efforts in this line. will. fall through. s E A town near New York made a move the other. day which helped to bring the people together and which was voted a spleddid success.:> The interested some of the representative men both in town and country, with the result that they held a festival which they called “The Country and City Get-Together.”. The country folks brought in all sorts of farm pro- duce to exhibit, while the town folks exhibited the, city products. After- wards theré was a dinner, where five hundréd sat down, city-and country folks together, and then they had an illustrated talk on “A Square Deal Between Country Producer and City Consumer.” Now ‘this is. what, is wanted: A Square Deal. : What’ the city woman needs. to know is that when the cost of living has gone up.so much the prices of farm - produce have automatically gone up too, since the high cost of; living hits the farmers just as much asthe city folks. Eggs that used to pay a fair profit at 30c will not pay a cent of profit this winter at 50c. Even in places like California. where egg ranches are by the hundreds, and where the winters ate like. summer, the eggs have been 60c a dozen this year, even before the tourist season started, and-why? Because grain in the States is just as dear as_ here, and to. get eggs you. must feed your bens grain, while the poultry woman hcre has to contend with the extreme Perhaps some of you from. adily ‘be. seen th cadily | s' here is a st like: that cz ing for an unlimited supply, prices here are going to soar. Roultry has been high in price. too, for the same .reason—the high price of feed. Poultry cannot be fattened without grain and milk, and these are the most costly things on the farm today. The same with milk and but- -ter; with bran and shorts at $28 and $30 a ton it is impossible that milk and butter can be produced cheaply. So the town folks must not blame the farmer unduly for the high price. Our stumbling “block to the city folks is the difference in prices asked’ by producers. This.is a difficult thing to arrange, for some women ask an exorbitant price, while others . who have never calculated the cost of pro- duction may ask. so little that they lose money on every single transac- tion. This is where we need-instruc- tion to be able to calculate what our produce réally costs, so that. we can charge a. reasonable profit and estab- lish_a standard’ price that. would: be fair to all. The city woman is rather discouraged: by, her essays-in mi yne direct from the country. folk, and believe it is principally because peo- ple in. town do not understand that if it is hard times in town it is equal- fy hard times in the country. © It is) well known that one of the | principal causes: of high prices is the cost: of delivery, which in the-end of course, is: paid. by the. consunicr.
