ADAM BEDE. CHAPTER XXXYV. (Continued. )

| Atthe next stile the pathway branches off; there are two roads before her—one along by the hedgerow, which will by and by lead her into the road again; the other across the fields, which will take her much farther out of the way into the Scantlands, low-shrouded pastures, where she ‘will see | nobody. She chooses this, and begins to walk a little faster, as if she had thought of an object toward which it was worth while ‘to hasten. Soon she is in the Scantlands, 'where the grassy land slopes gradually downward, and she leaves the level ground to follow the slope. Farther on there is a clump of trees on the low ground, and she is making her way toward it. No, it is not a clump of trees, but a dark shrouded pool, so full with the wintery rains that the under boughs of the elder bushes lie low beneath the water. She sits down on the grassy bank, against the stooping stem of the great oak that hangs over the dark She had thought of this pool often

gone by, and now at last she is come to see

and Jeans forward, and looks earnestly at it, as if trying to guess what sort of bed it would make for her young round limbs. No, she had not courage to jump into that cold watery bed, and if she had, they might find her—they might find out why she had drowned herself. There is but one thing left to her; she must go away, go where they caa’t find her. After the first on-coming of her great dread, some weeks after her be- trothal to Adam, she had _ waited and waited, in the blind vague hope that something would happen to set her free from her terror; but she could wait no longer. A!l the force of her nature had been concentrated on the one effort of con- | cealment, and she had shrunk with irresis- | tible dread from every course that could tend toward a betrayal of her miserable

The Milk Question.

| Sier,—The milk question is an open o ne ‘just now, and the water supply talk has jevidently got considerably mixed up with the latter demand. The city tax-men are |down on the Purveyors, like the Philistines ; Were upon Samson, and for about the same |Teagon, the object of the modern raid simply reversing the ancient. The purpose |of the one being to secure a little more |strength, while the other was to effect a re- iduction. The desirability of controlling the milk interest for purity’s sake and the Welfare of the inhabitants, cannot be dis- puted, Milk on the one hand is the type of food, as containing all the constituents for the development of the animal body, while on the other, it is the type of an easy Susceptibility to poisonous infection. A few words in illustration of these two points; we are informed by chemistry, that »f wilk jis burnt, with access of air, (after all its carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitre- gen, have been’ converted into acriform ' combinations), there remains in the resultant ‘ashes potassa, soda, lime, magnesia, the |sesquioxide of iron, phosphoric acid, sul- phuric acid and chlorine—surely this dis- play of life-giving power from pure milk is argument enough in its favor to show the importance of keeping it pure. The other point (that of susceptibility to infection) rests on equally determined facts, and doubles the evident necessity of preventing fraud in its purveyance. Take the London, Eng., investigation of 1873, during the months of the prevalance there of typhoid fever. It was thorough and complete, and the verdict was bad mi/k. In March, anno 1876, abcut 20 died, at and near the town of Eagley, in Lancashire, from the same cause. Now there are three sources of in- fection : (1) disease in the cow (and here it may be remarked that the milker who milks a diseased cow, and supplies his customers

once more made all her world, now her airy dream had vanished. no longer saw happiness with Arthur, for he could do nothing that would satisfy or soothe her pride. No, something else would happen—something must happen— to set her free from this dread. In young, childish, ignorant souls there is constantly this blind trust in some unshapen chance; it is as hard to a boy or girl to believe that a great wretchedness will befall them, as to believe that they will die.

But now necessity was pressing hard upon her—now the time of her marriage was close at hand—she could no longer rest in this blind trust. She must run away; she must hide herself where no familiar eyes could detect her; and then the terror of wandering out into the world, of which she knew nothing, made the possibility of going to Arthur, a thought which brought some comfort with it. She felt so helpless now, so unable to fashion the future for herself, that the prospect of throwing herself on him had a relief in it which was stronger than ber pride. As she sat by the pool and shuddered at the dark cold water, the hope that he would receive her tenderly— that he would care for her and think for her—was like a sense of lulling warmth, that made her for the moment indifferent to everything else; and she began now to think of nothing but the scheme by which she could get away.

She had had a letter from Dinah lately, full of kind woras about the coming mar- riage, which she had heard of from Seth ; and when Hetty had read this letter aloud to her uncle, he had said, ‘I wish Dinah ’ud come again now, for she’d be a comfort to your aunt when you’re gone. What do you think, my wenck, of going to see her as soon as you can be spared, aud persuad- ing her to come back wi’ you} You might happen persuade her wi’ telling her as her aunt wants her, for all she writes o’ not being able to come.’ Hetty had not

with it knowingly, either directly or indirectly, should be put under ‘restraint as a dangerous member of society, and be compelled to aban- don the milk business altogether) ; (2) Pollution from “‘the iron cow.’’ Water

jected it; he could do nothing for her that age, if mixed with good milk, will contam-

inate every fluid ounce gt it, so that it is e wilful addition of animal substances (as brains), of min-

Her imagination | gralg (as chalk), of magnesia—a white,

tasteless and soft earthy substance, and many other objectionable sophistications, too well known to the fraternity of milk dealers. Well, the tax edict of fifteen dol- lars per milk-peddier has gone forth, and the next question is, what are the milk cans going to do about it! If you will not laugh at them I will tell you what they talk of doing. They intend holding a con- ference meeting. The subject to be brought forward is how to kill or cure the fifteen dollar bugbear. The two propositions are, to either refuse to supply for two months, or raise the quart measure one cent. Let us examine the effect of either, should an agreement be reached. To withold the supply for two months, the peddlers sup-

pose would bring the town to its senses, and make all the people clamor for. “no milk tax.” It is not a little improbable that our citi-

zens would clamor at all, at all, or care a cent about the peddlars, except being sorry for them. They would immediately set up a pure milk supply of their own, open to legal inspection, and guarantee a pure article, and deliver the same at every cus- tomer’s kitchen door. The only wonder is that Charlottetown has never started a ‘*Cowery,” ona scale of supply equal to the city’s demaud—but better late than never. Let it be done now, and a few tigeres will show how easily. To issue five- dollar contracts or bonds, with a hundred quart coupons attached, and sell them to customers on prepayment of the five dol- lars, would realize enough capital, without borrowing or begging a cent, that would suffice to stock, equip and carry on a mag- nificent supply-establishment, and, besides, furnish a school of instruction for our farmers’ sons and daughters in making butter and cheese, as well is the treatment of stock, and the use of appliance required in the Dairy and Lyre. The figures to accomplish this might be put

liked the thought of going to Snowfield, and felt no longivg to see Dinah, so she ouly said, ‘ It’s so tar off uncle.” But now) she thought this proposed visit would serve | as a pretext for going away. She would

tell her aunt when she got home again, that

she should like the change of going to

Snowfield for a week or ten days. And

then, when she got to Stoniton, where no-

body knew her, she would ask for the coach

that would take her on the way to Windsor.

Arthur was at Windsor, and she would go to him.

As soon as Hetty had determined on this echeme, she rose from the grassy bank of the pool, took up her basket, aud went on her way to Treddleston, for she must buy the wedding things she had come out for, though she would never want them. She must be careful not to raise any suspicion that she was going to run away.

Mrs. Poyser was quite agreeably surpris- ed that Hetty wished to go and see Dinah, and try to bring her back to stay over the wedding. The sooner she went the better, since the weather was pleasant now; and Adam, when he came in the evening, said, if Hetty could set off to-morrow, he would make time to go with her to Treddleston, and see her safe into the Stoniton coach.

‘I wish I could go with you and take care of you, Hetty,’ he said, the next morning, leaning in at the coach door; ‘bat you wont stay much beyond « week—the time ‘ll seem long.’

He was looking at her fondly, and his strong hand held hers in its grasp. Hetty felt a sense of protection in his presence— she was used to it now; if she could have had the past undone, and known no other love than her quiet liking for Adam! The tears rose as she gave him the last look.

(To be continued.)

down approximately as follow: Say we have five thousand customers who ute a quart a day,and each bought a milk coupon bond worth the price of 100 quarts at tive cents per quart. This would yield a cash capital of twenty-five thousand dollars. Now say that the average yield would be 15 quarts (only) per day per cow, the num- ber of cows to be kept would be, say 3335 — and at say 50 dollars cost per cow—about two-thirds of the capital of $25,000 would be used up, and leave the third of that sum, or about $8,000 to the other expenses-- at the end of the 100 days there would be a renewal of capital, and so on, $25,000, about or nearly four times a _ year. The income, therefore, from milk sales may be safely put down at $100,000 per year. Connected with this there would be other rich sources of incoine, but our object now is only with the milk question and the present milk peddlers. Now, on their second proposal to nullify the fifteen dollar tax by a charge of one cent more per quart, which is moie than probable they will adopt. Itis evident this terrible tax will be a boon to them. If we take fifty gallons of milk per day as the average measure of a milk peddler’s business (in some cases as much as a hundred gallons have been sold by cne man) we shall easily get at the value of the new tax to the milkman. Fity gal- lons represents 200 quarts, and 200 quarts represents (at the one cent rise) $2, and it will be seen that the tax would be gone in a week and $2 a day added to the peddler’s cent per cent profits for the rest of the year. Thus the fifty gallon peddler, instead of having $16 removed from his profits, would find instead about $100 added by the end of the year or period of the tax-license. As a triune, the first consideration is a pure article ; the second, plenty of it ; the third,
