The tale continues with Lady Champney tormented by a letter from Bar on Iffingham urging a fatal du el. He demands a meeting at eleven, threatening exposure to her husband. Lady Champney contemplates compliance as Graham Ga magher visits Champney, recalling past illness and the strain of domestic life.
Sir Graham exposes a convoluted tale of fraud and a missing child at a Sussex cottage. The Baron Champney learns the alleged daughter of the Narrs is actually his own long-lost child, conceived through a forged lineage and a late night escape. They race to confront the Narres and locate the real girl before a dangerous reunion. Dora settles with Mrs Peyser and Noel and contemplates their future as she grows attached to her new guardian.
In this Tasmania Agricultural Department note, nitrogen fertilizers like nitrate of soda are recommended to aid young crops after winter, especially when soil nitrogen is depleted. The article explains nitrate of soda uptake by roots, compares cereals with root crops, and outlines how soil bacteria affect nitrate formation and plant growth.

It suggests 1 cwt per acre split in two applications, with green manuring and stock to raise long-term fertility, cautions late applications to avoid excessive straw, and notes nitrates work best with adequate phosphates and potash especially on clay soils.
