CHAPTER VI,
"What is it, a masquerade ball, or are
you going to do a little burgling?" asked
Qtulton, parsing on the stairs and look -
rug up at Clive, who was just coming out
of his room. Clive, who was dressed in
a shabby old suit of checks, with a cloth

worst of English weather, laughed with
aatisfaetiou.
"Look like that, do I?'' he said. "That's

"No," said Quilton in his impassive
way. "Party on there?"'
"Yes; there's always a party going all
at the Gardens, said Clive; "and an
especially good one on Saturday nights.
It's a street in the sinme, to be exact;
and I want to see it. I'm told that I don't
know what the slums are if I'm unac-
quainted with Paradise Gardens."
Quilton nodded. "I see. I will say this
for you, that you do the thing thorough-
ly, Harvey. Going to take a bobby, 'tee,
with you?"
"No," replied Clive. "I'm hoping to peas

Quilton was silent for a moment; then
he said:
"Think I'll tome with you, if you don't
mind. I've a night off--Saturdaig, you
know; and I'm imitated for a little beano."
Clive hesitated a moment. '`It maybe
anything but a beano for us," he said sig-
nificantly.

Quilton nonchalantly. "Well, I've never.

"Couldn't if I tried." said Quilton,
glancing down at his tobacco-and-tea-
etained coat, his Corpse ew trout:mese :Mrd
hfs bulgy and ill-fitting boots.
Clive eyed him up and down. "Clean col-
lars are barred at Paradise Gardens,". he
observed.
"Give me a minute," said Quilton: and
he went up to his room, and returned pre-
sently with a dingy comforter round his
neck in place of the offensively white col-
lar.
"Lat.'s get on a 'bus," said. Clive. "Have
you ever realized that, taking into eon
sideration the wear of shoe leather and
the eibows of your coat, its cheaper to
side than walk in London? This used
to be the poor man's carriage," he resum-

passed as travellers so to speak, not to
Paradise,but to its extreme opposite; for
those narrow streets grew ever narrower,
Mere squalid, more filthy, and were
thronged with people more squalid and
filthy than the streets themselves. At
every corner there was a flaring gin -pal-
ace or a shabbier but not less disreputable
beer -shop, about which hung loafers of
the lowest type, who stared at them with
a• resentful curiosity.
They reached their destination at last,'
and they found it to be anything but ;a
paradise or a garden. It seemed to be the
end of the world, the spot. to tvhich.all.the
filth and mire of huinavity.. had silted.
There were no gin -palaces Isere, but low
-
brewed beer-shope and grimy public-
houses, about which eongregated individ-
uals to whom the loafers iu, the broader
streets were princes and gentlemen. ,phild
ren, ecarceiy clothed, were playipg and
wallowing ii the Mack

ters,. Frowsy women,nscaroely more aade-
quately clothed than the children, with
unkempt hair, and dirt -laden facets, were
leaning• against the doors of the publie-
houses on squatting on the pavement;
they were indifferent to, or .only taking
a languid interest, in, a fight which was
going on between two men at, the end of.
the court; but presently a couple of wo-
men staggered and rolled out of one of
the beer -shops. They were singing at the
top of their voices, both madly drunk, and
suddenly one of them "oheeked" the other..
In an instant they were both engaged
tearing each other's hair and clawing at
each ether's bosoms. The loafers woke up.
and, formed a ring, not a keenly interested
ring, but a limp and languid one; the lie
tle affair was too common in Paradise
Gardens to cause excitement of anything
but a lazy interest. • And the women
fought like tigers; blood flowed, hair was
shed by handfule. Clive looked an for a
while with white face and a racked soul;
Quilton as impassively as ever.
Clive was breaking through the ring of
spectators, when a policeman thrust him
aside and made his way through the ring.
We- separated the combatants, bre made
no arrest. Why should he? Such ,fights
were as frequent in Paradise Careens as
"At Homes" in Mayfair.
The two women went off, still shrilling
threats that savoured of the nether hell;
the policeman dispelled the languid, crowd,
and in doing so confronted Clive anti
Quilton. Ho knew Paradise Gardens and
all its denizens, and he saw that Clive and
Quilton were strangers.
"Pass along," he said; then lie looked
at Clive keenly. He had been on duty in
Palace Yard, and recognized Mr. Clive
Harvey, "the people's friend." He saluted,
but shook hie head.
"Haim place this, sir,' he said; "scarce-

"It'e' all right, constable," Bald Clive.
"We've coupe to see what we can for our-

"Then you'd better take me with you,

not a fit place for gentlemen like you."

On the Farm
nand Feeding fax+ Small Ctilves,
If we star a calf out right in the
first year of its life, it will ever be a
profitable animal; it
ig we do not
give i� ��� fair, goostart he will,
tbest, be worthless
scrub, eon -
sinning much more feed than he will
ever pay for, writes .Mr, ladward
0. Glitzke,
It is much more profitable for the
farmer to put flesh on a young calf`
than it is to half -feed him when he
is young and expect to . have him
make all the galls where he is fitted
for the market,
- Nature
never intended ite
nded the calf to
be raised by hand, and we must un-
derstand the calf's physical makeup
quite well if we wish to succeed by
hand feeding.
The calf is not made 'to consume
coar'ee fged when it is young—in
fact, it takes several weeks to get
acquainted with grain, The only
nourishment that a young calf takes)
is Wilk, and if this does not con-
tain the necessary food elements
the calf will suffer.
Where the calf is hand fed it is
only natural to suppose that it re-
ceves skimmed slier?, because the
cream is the one; object fit which
the cow is milked. .
'Now, in taking away the cream,
we are taking away a very import-
ant food element ---fat, But ane
need riot hesitate to take this fat
if it be supplied in a,notllier and
cheaper form.
For a, very; young calf the only
desirable substitute is linseed' meal.
This should be boiled, or rather,
only scalded, in hot water :and Mix-
ed with the ,milk as a kind of gruel
for the calf. •
It should be fed in such.uanti-
ties as the size•of°the calf may re-
quire. . Be sure you get the old
process ground' oil -cake. This dif-
fers from the new process in the.
fact that in the former' the oil i
pressed from the seed by hyclrau
lie pressure, and, of course, a
amount mount of the oil remains in
the meal.
The new process is aproduct that
is left after crushing the seed and
`washing the _oil out by a chemical
known as naphtha. This is practi-
cally of very little value as feed
and should be avoided.
Where any number • of calves are'
to be raised by hand it ie"best ; to
prepare a set of movable ' stanch=
ions. These are quickly; made ..from
one: by four -inch lumber,' -ted where
they are movable they ehn_ be
changed from place to place to suit
the convenience otf the feeder, •
After the calves are in the
stanchions; it ie • an easy matter -to
dish'out a quantity of milk to each,
individual- without continually be-
ing 'pestered by the others.
After they all have'their, milk they
should be provided with finely
bround oornmaal 'ire, :troughs or
oxes, they will soon form a habit
of taking their chop after each
meal and so forget about the awful
habit of ear -sucking. 16
When they'' have •finished their
meal' they should. be turned out on
a meadow or alfalfa field to exer-
cise'and they will soon begin to nib-
ble grass 'and so get extra' nourish-
ment.. -
The main object in raising calves
is to keep them co"ntinually grow-
ing. It is easier to put on a pound
of gain when they are young than
when they are older.
They should never have a, stop -

A manure heap is a hotbed of bac-

gen is formed into ammonia and
passos into the air,; this is a otear
loss. Some is transformed into ni-
trates which are soluble. These are
washed out by rains and sink into
the soil, or run off into'the ditch;
this also is a direct loss. Some is
formed by bacteria into .nitrates

other species' of bacteria whish
change into nitrogen, which passes
into the air and is lost.

to- Whiten Skin.
• According to a German physician,
;salt taken with food has a whiten-
ing effect on the ;skin. This is ac=
,counted for by : the fact that it is
a compound oontaiuing the power-
ful bleaching agent, ilorine. At
any rate, it is undoubted that white
people eat much more oommon salt
than dark races:
Fruit, en Abe other hand, dark
ens theskin, because it contains
salts of manganese.
Besides whitening the skin it is
probable that abundance of salt in
the diet makes the -face and the
whole body, plump. When a, per-
son eats salt freely the result is
that the blood, skin, muscles, etc., ,
'retain a, great quantity of fluid.
Hence the effect on the face would
be to make it.flll'and rounded,
But it shouldbe eaten with-judg-
ment
ithjudgment and moderation. If a young
girl eats a large quantity of salt.
and makes her face plump then the
skin is stretched :arc .as she grows
older aiid drier, wrinkles appear.
But if`she uses- a saltless diet; while
young, then when the wrinkles
come she should be able to disperse
them by adding salt to- her diet.
So far as obsers'ation goes salt
has the virtue of preserving i � t
dao
health of the skin .and preventing
eruptions. But only when used its
moderation is it of real servicer f
and people with weak hearts or
ki'dneyg, or who have a, tendency
to -dropsy,are better without any
or with the smallest possible
quantity.

man's bulldog, was looldng over

him elf, "I'll asmoke." He
had filled his pipe and was about
to light it, when he glanced ttp
and: beheld Towser's handsome
features.
Slowly moving his pie from hie
mouth, he said, "Bae- orra;i've

Ooitalians, but if a man wid a ,face
like that comes down to work be-

You would probably be surprised
if you knew how much good has
come out of your mistakes,
When the " girl yawns it's the
young man's cue to get into the
