little, we will get on to the station
and catch the first train to the
south."
Drawing an actor's Inake-up box
from his bag, he soon altered InY
COMplexien 40 suit the elothes I had
put on, and after malting my own
clothes into a bundle we started to-
wards the cite. Kennard got over
the difficulty of iny not knowing
word ol the language by arranging
that I should feign to be dumb. Be-
fore relapsing into Silence; asked
him what he thought of Vizard's re-
maining in Genoa.
"Ile is here to look after you,"
was the reply, "and should not be
=prised if he •has beard of your es-
cape alivady. I standee that we
have dangerous organivation of
educated criminals to deal with. and
that Nathan is in it. But shall
know more to -morrow."
This was lively beariug, when
bad been relying on an appeal to my
employers to reinstate me in mo

over the loss of a berth when I

their intended victims.
We reached the Staziono Brignole
with a quarter of an hour to spare
before the 11.10 night train to the
south was due, and after Kennard
had taken tickets for Rome, being
fatigued and hungry, we went into
the buffet for a snack. The place
was full ef travellers fortifying
themselves for the long ran to Pisa,
and we had some difficulty in
squeezing in to the counter, but we
managed it at last, and Kennard
did the ordering. A long mirror
stretched the length of. the bufTet op-
posite to us reflecting the people at
the counter, and glancTng along the
line of faces while waiting to be
served, I started so violently as to
nearly capsize the soup of an old
lady next me. Half a dozen places
from us stood Vizard, apparently
absorbed in dissecting the wing of a
fowl.

"To my dideuet the partition was
too thick to admit of hearhig any
sustained vonversa.tion, but certain
mime and dlejointed sentences reach-
ed me, which by the light of what
has happened Since, and taken in
conjunction with my previously form-
ed suspicions, greatly tend to con-
ilrm the latter.
"The first words I Made out Were
in the voice that I know now to be
Vizard's natural tone : 'Consul no-

never allow he was wrong."
"'Met, after an interVal. Zaver-

"After another break, in wbieh
their words were inaudible. Zaver-
tal said : 'Pietro Maseagni of the

quietass for the meddlesome dolt.'
"Then with itirther lengthy inter-
vals of indistinct muttetings
caught the following words and
phrases :—
''Zetvertal eDarranmore after

"Vizard : 'All goes well, could re-

"Zavertal ; 'No sign of Ken-

"Vizard (part of direct reply to
ahe last) : '—not do to make too

"And then, Forrester• ," ICennard
proceeded, rising from the straw,
and putting his band kindly on nay

jest overheard—which I would not
repeat to you if I hadn't confidence
in your nerve. Of course I hire° not
been so blind as not te notice what
ever3r one on tbe ship noticed—your
relations with the belie of the voy-
age."
"Good God !" I exclaimed, "then
the devils are scheming against
Aline. Yes," I added, "you may
safely tell me. I shall not hamper
you with hysterics."
"Well, thes," said Kennard, "the
last broken sentence that reached me
was in Zavertal's voice : 'The Chal-
lenor affair, in the run from Alex-
andria to Malta.' "
"And we are stranded here," I
groaned. "Tell me, though—I won-
der I have not asked before—how
long is it since I was captured ?"
"Only this morning," replied Ken-
nard ; "and loc(k here, ,Forrester,"
he went on, "the time is not come
for despair yet. It might be a good
deal worse. We know, at any rate,
that. whatever tricks they mean to
play with Lord Darranmore are
postponed till after the ship. leaves

ahead, at least ; and long before
then, with any luck, we shall be

And • what • they politely call 'the
Challenor affair' is not to coree off
till after the ship has visited Alex-
andria, which allows a wide margin
in case of any Miscarriage at
Naples.

nittts for the Guidance of the
Head of the Family.
The money-maker of the family has
his own troubles—no one ever doubt-
ed that—but the housekeeper has a
few, too, and it would not be out
of place to give her a little con-
sideration. The man of the house,
therefore, might paste these sugges-
tions in his hat, if he does not con-
sider them impertinent.
Assume a cheerfulness, even though
you do not feel it, on coming horue
in the evening.
Greet your wife with a, smile, in-
stead of an impatient inquiry as to
when dinner will be ready.
Do not complain any more than is
absolutely necessary about the
toughness of the beef, nor the come
parative inferiority of the bread.
Do not tell your wife that you
cannot imegine what she does with
all the money she has to spend.
Do not ask, her what she did with
the $1.25 you gave her last month,
before you respond to her appeal for
25 cents to send out to get some
butter.
Do not telt her at once that you
saw the prettiest woman you have
seen forea lone time in town that
day ; it will hurt her feelings.
Do not say the, children are the
worst behaved you ever saw.
While the general opinion of those
supposed to be authorities on this
matter has been that the habit of
drinking water' at xneals is a de-
leterious one, it is now stated, ac-
cording to recent investigations, that
a little water, if not too cold, is
beneficial, as it assists in the diges-
tion of food. A too copious supply
of water dilutes the gastric juice,
and if too cold it lowers the tem-
perature of the stomach below nor-
mal, thus impairing digestion. If,
however, water is taken in limited
qudntities, the pepIones formed by
the action of gastric juice on foed
will be washed aside, thereby, facili-
tating absorption. By this means
the undigested food is laid bare, and
is more susceptible to further action
of the gastric juice. During the
period of rest phlegm, being very
tenacioes, prevents the free flow of
gastric juice • for some time, and
hence delays digestion. A drink of
water before meal's is recommended
because loosens and washes away
this deposit of =ale, thereby per-
mitting the gastric ju "vi attack
the food as it enters the stomaele
value in the liquid manure as In the
solids. Therefore, we should have
tight gutters in our stables and use
absorbents, suit as cut up straw,
land plaster, manure from the horse
stable, etc.
The best way is to haul the man-
ure out every day and spread from
the weggon or sled when the weath-
er will permit. Now, if it is on
grass or clover, go over with a, har-
row as soon as convenient in the
early spring, before the lumns of
manure get dry and hard, and give
it a good harrowing. 'reds will make
the manure Tine ; scratch up the
ground a little and mix some of the
manure with the soil.
Done in this way It makes no hurt
in the hay, the yield of hay is in-
creased and it makes a thick, heavy
sod, and the lefinus in the soil will
be greatly increased, so that we
seem to get the benefit of the man-
ure twice over ; and second. by the
increased richness of the soil as •a
result of the heavy root growth,
which adds an extra amount of
humus to the soil.
PROFIT IN EGGS.
To make the egg business pay you
must have well -flavored eggs.
Strange to say, the freshest of eggs
many times are eggs that are unfit
to eat, 'and yet people will say an
egg is an egg. Little they know,
evidently, concerning the real fresh
egg at its best. Eggs too vile for
food go every day to market, no
matter when they were gathered.
Many who keep hens for fresh eggs
are very careful about furnishing
strictly fresh eggs to their custom-
ers, but take no heed to their pro-
bable or possible fla,vor. We farmers
are responsible for a great many
little abuses that we are, all too
apt to give no heed to, and we need
to mend our ways. We may begin in
real earnest at the poultry 1 yards
and houses in turning over a new
leaf. If it means you, reader, take
the suggestion kindly, and begin at
once, and it will not only pay you
in dollars and cents, but in reputa-
tion. We know that putrid flesh
food, musty grain food, decayed
grains and all /128,OpeX of Metes thing
A. Dutchman was relating his mar-
vellous escape from death, when
thirteen of his companions were
drowned by the upsetting of a beat
and he alone was saved. "And how
dill you escape • their fate?" asked
one of his hearers. "I tid net go in
te boat," was the Dutchman's placid
reply.
They were standing at the front
door and he had just said good- -
night for the seventeenth consecutive
time, when a gruff voice was wafted
down from the head of the stairs.
"Going Nome,' young man?" queried
the party behind the aforesaid voice.
"Y -yes, sir," stammered the love-
lorn youth in the good -night wren°.
"All right," said the gruff voice. "I
