For, in the excess of my affection for Giles, I would have taken almost any service to be with him. The frigates, too, were more in the way of activity, as the enemy was wary of meeting our ships of the line, but the frigates could go hunting after him. So, when I returned to Berkeley Square that day I begged Sir Peter to get me a berth in the Belvidera. He was pleased with my spirit, and the very next day he went to the admiralty for me. The complement was full but, luckily for me, one of the juniors got a billet more to his liking, and Sir Peter, being on the spot, got me the vacancy, and I was ordered to report at once at Plymouth. It took me but a day or two to get myyOutflt and make ready to start. Ifady Hawkshaw showed me great kindness then, and actually allowed me to have a considerable sum of my own money. Lady Arabella treated me with her usual indifference, and, on the day I was to go, bade me a careless adieu. When the was at the door and I went to the Chinese drawing room to tell Lady Hawkshaw and Sir Peter good-by- , Daphne was there with them, and she looked as if she had heen weeping. Sir Peter gave me a letter to my new captain, Vere, and some words of encouragement. Lady Hawkshaw delivered a homily to me on my duty, which I received out of respect for her real excellence of heart, and thanked her in a manner which made Sir Peter my friend for life. Daphne said not a word when I took her hand, but handing me a lit tie parcel ran out of the room. I afterward found it to be a little housewife made by her own hands. I went down to the chaise, puzzled at her conduct, but, looking up for the last time to the windows, I saw her peering from behind a curtain. I raised the parcel to my lips, and, as she saw it, a smile broke over her face. My last glimpse of her was like an April day she was all smiles and tears and it was destined to remain in my memory. Giles Vernon was waiting for me at the coiner of the street. We were to make the journey to Plymouth together. "Well," he cried, when we found ourselves rolling along to meet the coach, "I have had my cake and eaten it." "How I envy you!" I said, bitterly. "I have not had my cake.

"He may have won the favor of the replied Sir Thomas, impudently mimicking Lady Hawkshaw's French, "but he has not yet succeeded in winning my favor."

I own tills surprised me, for if there was anything on earth upon which Lady Hawkshaw was uncompromising, il wis church and state; and, excellent woman though she was, believe she would have been rather glad to make one big bonfire id' all the dissenters in England.

People who give way to moods never amount to much, because they are never masters of themselves.

If they feel like being they will be; if they feel like "snapping" at everybody, they will snap. People who suffer from "moods" should be careful about their habits.

Winona von Ohl Has Done Wonderr, with Domestic Horned Cattle Usually Considered Stupid Conquers a Vicious Young Bull. New York. On a small farm about two miles from Plainfield, N. J., lives a young woman who is among the most remarkable educators in America. She teaches animals, preferab'y dull ones supposed to have little brain development. She is not a professional trainer. She simply does it for her own amusement. She has accomplished some things especially with horned domestic cattle, which are considered the most stupid of all domestic animals that have been thought impossible hitherto even by professionals. Her name is Winona von Ohl. She was born and brought up on a great cattle ranch in New Mexico. She and her mother moved to Plainfield two or three years ago. It was not long before the news began to get about cf the odd things this girl had taught her pets to do. An number of visitors has been the result Now there is hardly a day but automobile parties run out to the farm from the various towns for ten or twenty miles around to see if it is true that Miss von Ohl's horse can hold a whip In his teeth and crack it, or that a bull will stand on its hind legs and waltz, or that her calf will indulge in all sorts of monkeyshines. Cheerfully and obligingly she puts her pets through their paces. The mild-eyel but mischievous-lookincalf is brought out, and is made to do all the tricks that a highly trained clown dog could.

For thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has been the standard remedy for female ills, and suffering women owe it to themselves to at least give this medicine a trial.
