"Softly—speak in whispers, if you don't want to arouse the house. See, she turns and noises her forefinger warningly. Do you mean to say you don't remember her, John?" "Her face is familiar. but " He hesitates, arid faces the professor. "I see, you've got it. You saved her child froth the death fangs of the "rad dog, and a kind Heaven has placed her in a. position to return the favor, wh'ch she would do, if the most terrible fate hung over her head." "It seems incredible," muttered the doctor. Nevertheless it is true; the one chance in ten thousand 'sometimes conies to paws. Already has the afternoons adventure br.rne fruit in more ways than one; first it sestered him to his former place iu the esteem of Lady Ruth, which his refnsn1 to do her foolish errand had 'cot him, and now it works gre'Zter wonders, snatching him from the bale- ful powers of the actress who, unable to rule, would ruin. Truly he has no reason to regret that heart affection, that love for humanity which sent him out to snatch the dusky child of Malta from the fangs of the beast. Now they have reached a door that is heavily barred, proving that their course has been different from the one by means of which they gained the dun- geon. '.Nie woman lays down her lantern and takes away the bars. Then she places her hand on . John's arm. "You saved my child, Chicago; I save you." She smilers, this dusky daughter of Malta, as if greatly pleased at being able to frame her thoughts in English— smiles and nods at tihe young doctor. "But you—she may punish you," he says, and she understands, shaking her head. "She dare not; I am of Malta.; also, I shall see her, this proud mistress, no more," which doubtless means that she intends takdng French leave as soon as the Americana have gone. John takes her hand and presses it to his lips; a dnasky hand it is, but no ca- valier of old ever kissed the slender member of e, lady love with more rev- erence than lie shows. "Go, it is danger to stay," ehe says, with something of a look of alarm on her face, as froth the interior of the dwelling comes some sort of clamor, which may after an only aural out to be the barking of a dog confined ,In the court where the fountain plays, but ed, delighted, net beeau he has e, coos wig*, at any rate, vogue her fears. mur of the fountain came near potting me to sleep again with eta droning voice, Then I suddenly remembered nanethiug,—a eherzning fete with the flashing eye of a fiend.

The little professor rattles off these sentences without the least difficulty -- words flow from his lips as readily as the Roods roll over Niagara. •When John sees a ehanee to break in, he hastily asks what it is the pro- fessor has discovered that interest`s. him. Whereupon Philander begins to feel in his vtndous pockets, and pull out what has been stored there. At last ho utters an exclamation of satisfaction. "Eureka! here it is. Found it ]ytng on the desk. Was attracted by the sin- gular writing." "Singular writing! that makes me be- lieve it must have come from my mo- ther," "It as signed Sister Magdalen." "Then that proves it; you remember what Lady Ruth said about meeting a Sister in Paris who resembled the min- iature I have of my mother. It was a kind fate ilbat brought this to you, profoasor." "Well, you see, I always had a fac- L'1ty for prying around—night have been a famous explorer of Egyptian tombs if I hadn't been taken in and done for by Gwen Makepen e. "Was there anything particularly in- teresting in this letter?" asks John. "I considered it so—you will see for yourself," is the reply. :All is darkness around them. John is possessed of patience to areasonable extent, but he would like to see what this paper contains. "Professor, you seem to have about' everything; can you drum up a. cigar and a match?" "Botch, luckily." "Ahl thanks," accepting them eager- ly. agerly. "It may be dangerous to light up here," says Philander, oautiously, but the other is deaf to any advice of this sort. There is a rustling of paper, then the match is struck, and Doctor Chicago is discovered bending low in order to keep it from the wind. His cigar is speedi- ly lighter]. amid his eyes turned upon the paper which Philander has given thdm— Philander, who hoovers over him now in eager distress, anainus to hear John's opinion, and yet fenrfnl lest the rash act may bring danger upon them. John's lips part to utter an exclama- tion of mingled amazement end delight, 'aben from a point close to their shoul- ders an outcry proceeds; the burning match has betrayed them. OiiAPTEi \'III.

'lhe power of the human rye bac been held up as an example, and surely here is a. chance to try it the stake, this life. By this time he becomes cognizant of a certain fact that renders him uneasy; the yellow orbs do not seem as far away as before, and it is evident that they approeh gradually nearer. He can even imagine the great body of tihe animal, perhaps a tiger from African shores, creeping on its belly, inch by inch shortening the distance between itself and its prey. John cannot retreat—already he is in a eorner, with the wall behind. so that all he can do is to await developments. Nearer still, until scarcely five feet separate him from the glowing orbs, he anon even hear the animal's stentorian breathing. John prepares for a terrible straggle; he holds his hands out so as to clutch the great beast by the throat es he ad- vances, and his muscles are strained in order to enstain the shock. Just when he expects 'to hear the roar of a hunger -stricken beau, he is aston- lshed beyond measure at what me curs. "Scat! you reseal!" exclaims a voice, and there is heard a great threshing sound, an though same one endeavors to intimidate by the swiingdng of arms as well as by sound. "Whet! to that♦ you.

Scattered over the conotr,y you will find men who have studied this matter of handling; fine products. Many of them have devised original schemes for handling and sell- lug and bay() In this way secured a drat Blass market. Take celery, for example. This is a crop that depends largely for its suc- cess upon the way it is presented to the customer. If sent to market In dirty packages, soiled and poorly trim- med. few people will pay even a fair price for It. When peeked neatly. well trimmed, s0 that It presents a crisp and neat appearance, there is always an eager demand for this vegetable. We have known farmers t0 bunch their celery roughly and send It to market In old strawberry erates, stained witb berry juice and frequently full of dust. Of course it never brings a fair price, Celery Is a crop good enough to de- mand a special package for shipping. 'With the foregoing introduction The Rural New Yorker tells of a neat crate for handling celery, whie'li can be made large enough to hold two rows of cel- ery packed with the tops together in the center. The celery Is first washed and bunched, then pecked as shown in the picture In alining of Glenn white paper. An advertisement, printed on white paper, is pasted on the under side of the top, so that it shows when the crate is opened in the market or store. When empty, the crate Is closed and shipped back for another load of celery. Simple things like this often make the difference between profit and Iosa. One of the great secrets of success with a grower of southern peaches, as The New Yorker tells, is the care he has spent upon the package. He buys nothing but pure white baskets, re- jecting all soiled or dark colored wood. He has a large red label, with just CHAPTER IX.

Talking about farm wages, how much does the average dairyman's wife usual- ly receive? A. "practical dairyman'" is one who makes a profit out of his cows. If your cows shrink in milk yield during stormy weather, it shows that you have riot given theta sufficient pro- tection from the elements. A cow, like a man, is known by the company she keeps. Don't let her get poor by allowing sheep to eat the grass from under her nose. Yon cannot perpetuate good meadows and let cows graze on the rowers. The maker who uses his or her finger for a thermometer was never yet known to produce regular supplies of good but- ter or cheese.

Bow to noodle Milk. The proper handling of milk, as dem- onstrated by praetiee and extra riment all over, is to aerate it just as seen tae" possible after it is drawn from the yew and then to cool or chill it. writes lune 0. Webster in the Boston Cultivator The reasons for these two proeessns are simple. The first removes from the milk certain animal odors and gases that taint all fresh milk. The sudden Card- in; checks the multiplication of injnri• otos bacteria, which will in a short time increase so that the milk is in a flair' way to sour in a brief apace of time The modern aerators and coolers per- form both of these operations at once". but a farmer can imitate the work to a certain extent without them. The nem• tion simply means to expose the milk tothe clear air by spraying it out in a thin stream. If one has a tub and pears the mill: out slowly from a height of several feet, he will accomplhdi what the aerators do, The chilling of the milk should follow immediately. Olean cans that have been scalded out with boiling hot water can be sunk into a tub of ice, and then, by pouring the milk into them and closing the top tight with tin and flannel, the neces- sary low temperature will be obtained in a short time. Some farmers have simply sunk their cans in a brook or spring of cold water, burying the bot- toms in a foot or two of cold ;ravel. Where one has no ice handy this meth- od is a good substitute. By treating the milk in this way it will be sweeter, cleaner and purer, and at tho same time it will be so freed from bacterial germs that it can be kept a day or two longer than milk treated in the ordinary way. If possible, the milk should be cooled to a temperature of 50 degrees and kept so. It goes without saying that the utmost care is necessary to keep the cans and utensils perfectly clean, and that they must be scalded out with boiling water every time they are emptied and before new milk is put in them. CELERY CRATE CLOSED. enough of it to attract attention, and after one season customers look for this white package and red label as a guarantee of uniform quality. A neat, clean package—just enough difference from the ordinary package to attract attention—will, in the long run, always pay. It will be a mistake, however, to pick out a package of this kind and then fill it with ordinary goods. The man who does that will be worse off than he was before, because it will attract attention to poor goods, which ought to sneak into the market with as little parade as possible. Plant Raining. Apropos strawberry culture, a correspondent of Gardening remarks: Above all, do not allow the runners to set too thick in the row, unless you are in the plant business. Plant selling and 'fruit raising is not, as a rule, a desirable combination. Every spring we sell a few thousand plants from our narrow matted rows— dug along the edges—but it le done more as an accommodation to the neighbors than a money making scheme. Every time a plant Is dug from such rows we feel that just so much fruit is being .taken up, besides injuring' the adjoining plant roots more or ;less. Whether the price ob- tained front this weeding out process offsets the loss and injury is a ques- tion in our minds, with a big letter Q.

Mr, ;►I is all ritrht and has been so for the past nine month'..

Improve the Cows. Ex -President Burchard said in his address to the Wisconsin Dairymen's association last winter that every farm- er ought to sell his hay and grain to a !. cow just as he would to any other buy- er. Practical men do not keep on selling hay and grain to men who do not pay. Why should they not exhibit as good financial sense when they sell the same food to a cow? He added: "I know whereof I speak. It is just as easy to have a herd of cows that will aver- age more than 273 pounds of batter per cow, or 600 pounds of cheese every 12 months, as it is to have one that will average less than that." Every farmer who is trying to keep cows for profit can start on this road if he only thinks so, says Hood's Dairy- man. The first step, is to get a good dairy sire. We know of hundreds of farmers who have commenced in this way,. and in a few years they had a herd of cows that averaged easily a hundred pounds of butter per cow more than the original herd. If you cannot afford a fill grown bull, get a registered calf and raise him. Don't breed from a grade sire, no matter if h. does look like a thoroughbred Secret of Dairyins: • The secret of dairying lies with the man, and success depends wholly upon good management.

Dark eyes indicate power, light eyes delicacy. With black eyes the intellect will be powerful, the passions strong. Hazel eyes show steadiness and power of affection; fascinating green oyes belong to deceitful and coquet- -S tish persons. What the owners of blue eyee may lack in power and emotional strength they make up in suptlety and versa- tility. A forehead square on the temples and retreating on each side into the hair tells of good memory and judg- ment. Such is Lord Kitchener's. If the head is in good proportion to the body it shows steadiness and force of character ; if too large it indicates grossness, and if too small feebleness.
