In hi^ heart Lord Caraven almost
re-echoei the w5sh.
Perhaps the Countess of Caraven
had never undertaken a task more un-
pleasant to her than the writing of this
letter, yet it had to be done with all
the graceful courtesy imaginable. Then
the ear made out a list of people
whom- be thought the brilliant young
widow vrould like, to meet.
* “Therf,” he said—"we have an elig-

His wife noted with infinite satisfac-
tion ths t he had not mentioned him-
self. E iridently he had no idea of pay-
ing homage to her; but the words,
“one of the youngest, prettiest widows
hi England,” had made a disagreeable
impression on her. She could not tell
why, but she had an unpleasant fore-
boding that evil would opme from the
widow's visit, evil both bitter and sore.

CHAPTER XXXVIi:
T was the evening
of the day oa
which Lady Ham-
ilton was expected.
Several of the
guests invited to
meet her had al-
ready arrived, and
the young Countess
of Carav.en
anxiously expected
her visitor. She
had a strange kind of foreboding about
her.
*1 wonder,” she said to Sir Raoul,
“if some people do bring misfortune
with them. I have an idea that Lady
Hamilton will briug evil to me.”
Sir Raoul laughed, and told her in
his simple chivalrous fashion that a
beautiful woman could bring only sun-
shine and happiness; but the young
countess sighed.
“Helen of Troy d'd not bring much
sunshine,” she said, “and she was
beautiful efiough.” „
"But,” objected Sir Raoul, “there is
a di/Tcrenco; Lqdy Hamilton has not
her. fatal loveliness. Times have al-
tered; no woman’s face, I think, will
ever cause another thirty years’ war.”
The yoking countess resolved upon
being armed at all points. Her maid
felt that at length her mistress was
doing justice to herself. She was that
evening very difficult to please—no
dress was pretty enough- she chose one j
at length of purple velvet, long, grace-
ful, and made after a picturesque fash- 4
fon tl&t Hildred particularly affected—
cut square so as to show the beautiful
neck and shoulders, wiUi wide hang-
ing sleeved, fastened with a diamond
knot on the shoulder—a dress that was
the triumph of good taste; no ribbon,
no flowers, no ornaments nor trim-
mings marked its grand simplicity. She
wore nothing but diamonds with it—
a small tiara that crowned the queenly
head, a necklace round the white
throat, a small cross 'on the white
breast, and a bracelet on one' of her
beautifully molded arms. r Nothing
could have been more magnificent, in
better or simpler taste.
Sir Raoul looked delighted when he
saw her. “1-ady Hamilton may be very
fair,” he thought, “but she will not
look like Hildred.”
The earl did not notice either her
face or her ~/es&; be admired her skill,
her genius, but lie was certainly not in
love with his young wife.
was with some little curiosity that
the young countess went to meet her
guest. Lady Hamilton had beea^^'u
into a pretty little Ubudoir, where she
awaited her hostess; and* these two
women wuo were so strangely to cross
each other’s lives looked almost eager-
My at each other. ’
I^ady Caraven saw before her a tall
graceful, lovely blonde, whose sunn>
eyes and golden hair were bright and
beautiful, whose red lips smiling show-
ed teeth like pearls. After returning
in the most musical of voices the greet-
ings of her hostess, she requested tha
she might be shown to her room.
She was In soine measure just what
Lady Caraven had expected to see. She

minutes before the announcement of

She Insists Fpon Having Her Own Way
in Everything;.
I® St. Nicholas there is an account of
an Angora cat named “Pussinella,
who belongs to a little Italian girl, the
daughter cf one of King Humbert’s
aides. The cat wae born in the Quir-
inal, and was a gift to the little girl
from Queen Marguerite. The writer
says: Pussinella’s every whim and
humor are considered, and she has
many, especially about her eating; no
princess was ever half so fastidious or
exacting, or gave so much trouble by
her capricious appetite. One day she
will have only cooked meat, another
only raw, still another none at all, but
only fowl or birds. In Genoa, she had
her own particular corner in the din-
ing-room. with a little carpet on which
her plate was set; but she did not al-
ways eat there—no, indeed! If the
day was bright and sunny, she prefer-
red the terrace, or the drawing-room,
as her mood might be. She would
walk ahead, looking back to see if she
were being followed, until she got to
the spot where she wished her meal,
and there she would stop.. She was al-
ways obeyed as respectfully as any
royal queen, for her commands were
usually enforced by such frantic cries
or ominous growls, that all feafed to
gainsay her, or preferred to keep the
peace. The kitchen was in1 the upper
story of the house, and when Pussinel-
la wished anything extra to eat, she
would go upstairs to the door, put her
head in and mew, and then turn and
walk down, while the cook followed
with the food. The kitchen was no
place for so noble a lady to take her
meals! - I have seen five plates of dif-
ferent meats brought one after another
before she could fihd what suited ber
taste. I often wondered that the cook
was so good and patient, but he ad-
mired her beauty and he feared her
clawa, so the feeuk was complete obe-
dience to her every whim.
leriems loss to the farmer. In certain
places near villages the pickers ofteu
Doard themselves, bringing their Aiu-
aers aud returning to their homes at
' light, but the moat of the growers
^oard their hands. Almost every one
n the region goes “hop picking,” the
•ich and the poor, the youug aud old,
oftentimes whole families, in Vvhich
after case the earnings are consider-
»ble.
It is pleasant, some bright morning,
seated ou a moss-covered rock on the
hillside, with the sun just rising from
oehind the Berkshire Hills, which are
plainly visible, to watch the pickers
going to their daily task. A motley
jroup, indeed; many gentlemanly look-
,ng people, matrons, ju^Uy girls and
poung children, all losing fresh and
cheerful, with tueir lunch baskets on
(heir arms, all cbfitting and laughing,
and appearing unconcerned as to the
task before them.
The hops as they are picked are put
into boxes. The main box is divided
into four compartments or boxes, each
holding eight bushels. There are four
'pickers to a 'main box, each picker
having his own box holding eight
bushels. The number of boxes picked
by a person in a day depends upon the
abundance of hops, tlfeir size, and the
ability of the picker. The general
iverage is perhaps from two to four
boxes per day. The wages paid rauge
from fifty cents to seventy-five cents
a day when the picker is boarded, or
from $1 to $1.25 when he boards him-
ielf.
Every main box has a “box tender,”
*vhose business it is to pull the poles,
♦trip the vines from them, and keep
die pickers supplied with hops. It is
jnite a responsible place, as it ismlso
die tender’s duty t© see that the poles
ire picked cleanly, aud that the hops
in the boxes are kept free front leaves
md stems, and that no hops are
wasted on the ground. As soon as a
dox is filled it is sacked by the box
;ender, the picker holding the s?ck
. while the box tender puts in the hops,
carefully picking out every large stem
»ud leaf, and frequently admonishing
the pickers to pick their hops “a lit-
tle cleaner.”'' A “setting’comprises
six rows of poles from each end of the
box and three from eaclv .side. . When
these are all. picked the box is moved
forward to Another getting.
A busy, merry throng they arc, with
their nimble fingers working swiftly
over the vines. Noon soon comes,
the gala event of the day, but none
too soon, for the bracing uir of the
mountains, the pleasant exercise, and
the good spirits of the company are
all conducive to appetites-L.appetites

pressed himself in favjor of the instru-
ment! 1 called upon (the Judge to|get
farther particulars..
“Yes,” he said, “it is quite true. I
bfilieve that ih the jpourse of a few
years we will have the phonograph
generally in the Califbynia courts.”
“Are they used anywhere else for
this purpose?”
“I don’t know, but! I don’t see why

“But how oould yon be snre of the
phonograph’s veracity? Would you
swear in the machine;?”
“Well, I don’t see bow we could in-
