The late Prime Minister could
have chosen no one more competent
tiean the Right Hon. Felix Shelby
to be his literary executor. A great
friendship had existed between
them that had never been marred
by those political disagreements
which are so apt to Le fierce, ani
estrange the closest relationships.
But the task, a difficult and rospo'1-
bible one, was proving a groat con
hunter of time to a busy man; for
Mr. Shelby was a member of the
present Cabinet. Ile, too, w•rs an
eminent man of letters, and it was
felt by the public that Providence
had designated hint as the only pos-
sible person who could fitly write
the biography for which the world
was waiting impatiently.
In front of hint lay three open
cit -ed boxes, which were filled with
letters and documents. Now and
again he would take up a paper—
glance through it—and throw it
back with the others.
"An endless task." he
to himself, "1 must have
sistance."
He threw himself back into an
arm-chair—crossed his legs, and
hie head seemed to sink into his
shoulders; a pose that had been im-
mortalized by Punch.
He was interrupted by the en-
trance of a servant.
"A Mr.' Ackroyd to see you sir,"
he said in that sauve, smooth voice
et. affected by the well-trained ser-
vant.
"Ackroyd—Ackroyd," Mr. Selby
repeated to himself. Recollects. n
rppeared to come to him, for he
rose briskly from his chair.
"Ask hire in, Jaynes."
The door opened, and there ars
peered a tall, clean-shaven man of
quiet appearance. Ho was weft
groomed, and his clothes were neat-
ly pressed, but there was a tell-
tale shabbiness at the seams that
betokened much wear.
"How do you do, Ackroyd I Jt is
a long time since I have seen you."
"Yes, Mr. Shelby, but 1 haven't
cared to worry you with my tr.•u-
lrles."
"Troubles 1 I am sorry to hear
that. Let me see—you are writing,
are you not l"
es, and 1 have not fort td it
eery profitable. But your time is
val file, I know, so I will at once
come to the object of my visit. Can
you find me a billet of any kind 1 To
he frank, I am 'broke.' I thought
el.rhaps in memory of our "Var-
sity" days, you alight----„
"Quite right, Ackroyd ; I am glad
you caste to me. In fact you are
the very roan for whom I ant seek-
ing, and you will really be doing
me a favor by taking some work off
my hands.''
"it is very good of you to put it
in that way --if you only knew what
it means to me at the present time,"
said Ackroyd.
"We all have our 'ups and downs.'
But 1 am surprised that you aro
not at the top of the tree. We all
prophesied a great future—for you
were the Haan of promise of our
,ear."
A bitter smile appeared on Ack-
royd's face, but only for a moment,
and he turned to the other with
a furred cheerfulness.
"A promise that was not to fruc-
tify, as happens in so many cases,"
le said quietly. "But what can I
ii'. fur you '"
"I am the literary executor of the
late Primo Minister. Those three
boxes contain a quantity of miscel-
laneous correspondence. 1 want
them to be carefully read, and the
important ones set on one side.
lou will understand that it is some-
what deli ate; as the private cor-
respondence is included. but of
course I trust you. Ackroyd."
'.Thank you. When do you wish
sue to begin'"
"The sooner the better. As for
the financial part of it—perhaps we
had better settle that when Cie
work i • finished."
He sat clown at
filled in a cheque.
"This will do to go along with,

he handed him the slip of paper.
"You are more than generous."
"Nonsense, nonsense. Come along
with toe. There is a room that I
car. place at your disposal, and you
can commence as soon as you like. '
Julian Ackroyd was alone with
the papers. There was no smile of
gaatification on his face, although
this employment bed come to him
et the rraolnent that he had reached
the end of his resources. But it
was not the first time that he had
faced starvation.
A roan of consunirnate ability,

cursed with the propensity of spend•
ine more money than bo earned.

casions there had been every pros-
pect of success and wealth, but
seine imp of bad luck had pursued
him through life, and ho was forced
back to literature for a bare living.
He had set out in life with a char-
acter of average morality, but con-
tact with people of shady principles
had gradually debased hi:n, until
ho had resolved to make money in
any way possible, whether honest
or otherwise.
He listlessly began to turn over
the papers. The work was not con-
genial, for he had no admiration
for the late Prime Minister, but
soon his interest was arouse'.
"Rather indiscreet, some of these
letters," ho muttered to himself. "I
wonder Shelby trusted me with
then."
At last he came to a bundle con-
sisting of half a dozen letters.
"Written in cipher. This ought
to be something important. Some
Foreign Office business, I expect,"
he said to himself.
The deciphering of codes was a
hobby of Ackroyd's, and it was not
long ere he discovered the key,
which was a simple one. He read
two or three lines, and drew a deep
breath. A rapid glance at the
door, and he hurriedly plated the
letters in his br' ast pocket. He
cnce more b:'g .n his work, and
kept steadily on until Mr. Shelby
made his appearance.
"Rather tedious, isn't it 1" he re-
marked kindly.
"Yves, there is a tremendous lot
• f twaddle here, but 1 think there
ii a good deal of material for your
book."
"That is excellent. But 1 think
you have done enough to -day.
Needless to say the work is not very
pi essing, and so you may Lake your
own time for it. This room is al-
ays at your disposel."
"Thanks once more, Shelby. 1
ate very grateful to you."
"Nonsense. It's the other way
al•out. Good-bye for the present."
Ackroyd's first novo was to go to
the bank to cash the cheque which
he had received, and the jingle of
gold in his pockets immediately
raised his spirits. Then he took a
cab to the Temple, where he shar-
ed residential chambers with a bar-
rister friend.
He at once started work to do -
cipher the letters, and his expres-

describes it as temporary heart

The Earl smiled whimsically.

thought it better that you should

"I am very glad that you told

affection.
"I will drive you to the station,"
hec continued. "I have the car

They reached the station in good
time, and he stood at the window
of the carriage till the train moved
off.
"I will be down to -morrow after-
noon, certain. I may have some
news for you. Good-bye, and take

his father.

A curious case of cutting oneself
off from civilization occurred in
Persia some years ago. A rich
English traveller was captured by
hill -robbers at the edge of the des -
ort, about midway between Ispa-
han and Yedz. They held him to
ransom, which was to be arranged
for by a friend of the Englishman,
who was staying at Teheran.
Before the release could be effect-
ed, the captured man fell deeply iu
leve with the youugest daughter of
the chief of the marauders. De-
spite the entreaties of his friend,
he put the old life behind him, mar-
ried the girl, and became a full-
fledged Perstau robber. On his fa-
ther-in-law's death the renegade
Englishman succeeded the former

Risked his Life for Anierkcan
Cause.
When Admiral Dewey had de-
stroyed the Spanish fleet in Manila
Bay, on May t, 1908, and approach-
ed the delicate problem of bring-
ing about the surrender of the lrity
of Manila on his terms, he used as
an agent for that purpose a British
shipmaster, whose name has not
been mentioned in any published
report, official or unofficial, of those
events, according to The New York
Herald.
INCIDENT WAS FORGOTTEN.
It may have been due to an over-
sight on the part of those with
whom 1►o dealt directly, or it may
be that the incident became lost or
minimized amid the miles of red
tape with which War Department
matters are bound. But tke fact re-
mains that. Captain Robbins, of the
British ship Buccleugh, risked his
life and his employers' property to

HOME BUTTER -JIAKLNG.
In !laking butter on the farm,
one of the most difficult things to
determine is that state when the
cream is the proper ripeness to be
churned. It is difficult to get uni-
form results, having one churning
like another. Acid tests have been
invented for this work, but n skill-
ful and experienced butter -maker is
able to judge closely as to the ripe-
ness of cream for churning by its
appearance. writes a correspondent
i;. the Canadian Dairyman.
Churns with no fixtures inside are
the best. A revolving barrel churn
:s superior to other kinds. Such
brings the butter by the concussion
of the cream falling front one side
to the other. Fill the churn to one-
third or one-half full. Before put-
ting in the cream, scald the churn
with hot water and then rinse with
cold water.
Bring the cream to the right tem-
perature for churning before put-
ting it in the churn. This may be
dune by surrounding the vessel con-
taining the cream with cold or hot
water as the cream requires. Al-
ways churn at as low a temperature
as possible and have the butter
come in a reasonable time. The
colder it is churned, the less but-
terfat will be left in the buttermilk:
and the more perfect will be the
granules of butter. Each butter -
maker must determine by trial the
right temperature to obtain the hest
results. Tho churning temperature
depends, in some degree, on the
breed of cows, the individuality of
cows, the period of lactation, the
feed, and, most important of all,
the richness of the cream.
Use good, fine dairy salt for salt-
ing the butter. Never use the com-
mon coarse barrel salt which is so
frequently used. After salting,
working of the butter is necessary
ti, get the salt evenly distributed

ling until the morrow.

There was deep affection between

Petersburg by the British Govern-
ment to negotiate a private treaty
with Russia. He enjoyed the abs

Minister and was given plenary
powers. It appears that the worthy
Earl was contemplating marriage,
but that his affairs were heavily in-
volved. The negotiations were con-
cluded, and very successfully —
froni the Russian point of view. As
u reward for his complacency, and
for the sale of his country's intof-
estg, the Earl received a heavy
bribe, And here's the evidence of
it," Ackroyd cried triumphantly.
He gathered from the papers
that the receipt of this bribe had
come to the knowledge of the Prime
Minister. A scandal would have
been very inadvisable, so the affair
had been hushed up, and the Earl
had been permitted to retire. And
now every one that knew Of his
treachery was dead, and these let-
ters contained the only evidence of
his perfidy.
The Earl enjoyed universal re-
spect, and was amongst the gayest.
the wittiest. and most popular of
the serial leaders of the world.
Here in the hands of an unscrnpu-
hens man rested a weapon that
could hurl hint from his proud po-
sition.
Ackroyd went to a small club of
which he was a member, and !misled
1•imself with works of reference.
He found that the Earl had long
been a widower, and that there was
issue of the marriage, namely one
son, Lord Harecastle, who was ap-
proaching his thirtieth birthday.
At the time that Ackroyd was
gathering this inforn••itien the Earl
was at his club, impatiently await-
ing his son's arrival. Tall. of ro-
1 i'st figure, he carried lightly his
seventy odd years, but his face did
not wear its euetomary genial smile.
