Lord Beckett, in standing between this
fair . woman and the cruel Chinese,
had nobly redeemed his past, ' and
proven hist right to the name of friend.
They passed to the bow.
"I shall go first," said Plympton, as he
picked up a rope and made a hitch of
it over a wooden cleat at the stern- of
' the junk, "and while I hold the boat's
nose alonside the shore, do yeti, Larry,
assist your cousin over."
Thus all arangernents were made as
quietly as though they , were preparing
s for a little excursion, an ordinary pic-
nic, or something of the kind. ,
As soon as theeboat ran up against

., Lord Beckett had no lurther uee for
the boat, and in order to get rid of her
be * used his knife upon the cords that
kept the Matting sail aloft, with the re-
sult that it collapsed in a wreck.
Then with hie foot he pualfed the boat
away, the current once more seizing
upon _the craft, and again her atrange
voyage was resumed.
It would never do to loiter here. Dan-
ger wens Imminent.
Some tst the terrorized Chinamen who
bad been on the junk had undoubtedly
gained the shore and were well aware
of their landing.
Indeed, Plempton felt sure he had seen
Indistinct figures scuttling away on
either hand, which he knew to be' these
They nad had enough so far as they
Seeere personally 'concerned, but the Chi-
nese character, being vindictive, would
pot allow them to quit the game while
the slightest chance remained to injure
those with whom they were at enmityt
It was a plunge in the dark.
Even Lord Rackett, the best informed
regarding the metrepolis and its su-
burbs, had not the remotest idea as ta
their location, save 'that the fortunes of
;war had taken them below the city.
Nor was he acquainted with the roads
leading thither, though prepered to be-
lieve they would find danger lurking on
the route.
' Brave hearte 'do not grow faint at
Ohadows, and Plympton, having over-
come tangible perils, was not apt to
!weaken at the prospect of being corn -
pelted to grapple with ghosts.
Like a wise leader, he first of all took
their, hearings before making a move.
Th'en, with Avis between her two
valiant defenders, the trio walked across
the field. -
When the river was high this ' field
undoubtedly became flooded, but for-
.lunately at this season of the year it'
was dr7 enough to offer at least fair

Isterns-toesed waifs when they once more
'reached a piece of safety,

So they stumbled along among the
cottages.
These were really so, Much. alike, and
ebounded. on every, hand after the man-
ner of a field of znUshrooras, that gra-
dually Plympton began to lose kis bear -
Once he grew confused ; it was a diffl-
cult, nay, an almost impossible task for
him to resume his leadership with the
same confidence as before,
Hie was one of those open, frank net
tures that have ran desire_ for conceal-
ment, even when the game has gone
against them.
"I've lost my bearings, by Jove 1" he
announced, in a tone of sheer disgust.
Larry had suspected it from the er-
ratic matmer en which their leader had
moved Of late,
Nor was he able to give antr specific
advice.
The heavens were clouded, so that
they could not lay their course by the
stars.
In a general way they knew where the
city was situated, 'since it was reason-
able to suppose the light in the sky came
from the foreign island section of Sha. -

pursuit --of pleasure or bUsiness took
out upon the Streets after nightfall.
The obstinate refusal of that road to
bob up caused them inuch anxiety ;
Larry even declared it to be leis opinion
that, as no one was looking, some of the
thieving Celestials had taken advantage,
of that fact and stolen the road, for his
- opinion of Chipese character was on SO
low a scale that he actually believed
they would crib the moon if given only
half a chance.
LOrd Rackett, however, begged to
he believed the road was still there, and
that in their ivanderings they had pos-
sibly More than once been in close jux:
taposition to it, but that, owirig to the
puzzle formed by the multitudes of cot-
tages, they. had been- moving aimlessly,
perhaps in a circle.
%"We must hire a guide and take our
chances," he gravely announce&
On the whole, the new risk amounted'
to very little, since Chinamen were
ahroad, and they had already been aeens
a dozen- times.
. SO Lord Rackett led the way up to a
fairly decent dwelling, such as there are
in this over -crowded land of the
dragon.
He cudgelled his bretins in the endeae
vor to recall all he possibly could of the -
native tongue. '
This' was, no doubt, precious little—
still, it might answer his purpose. '
Avis had borne hereon bravely
througb. all, and won the admiration of
her companiens ; still, they could, snot
have expected less from one who for
years had been the companion and mate
of such an heroic man as Dr. Jack. "So
Lord Beckett. beat his knuckles upon the
door of the cabin, striving to throw as
much authority into* his summing as
possible, for the Chinese have an abject
respect for everything that smacks of
imperialism, having learned during the
,aenturies how cruel and remorseless
the powers that reign may be.

but, alas, his lexicon was limited to but
a certain number ef hybrid phrases, and

He was especially careful to &dere

writes Prof. Andrew M. Soule, It is
Quito likely that hog ; cholera, the most
virulent disease that the breeder has to
fight, is . frequently spread through the
running streams which have become
!celled by diseased animals drinking
from there, It is better to have the
stream outside the hog lot, so arranged
€ s to give the hogs free access to it for
drinking, purposes only. "Wallowing
holes" can be easily constructed With-
out . endangering the water supply, and
the wise breeder will, give the matter
attention.
A large box containing a mixture o4
salt, ashes, charcoal, copperas, etc.,
Should be kept in the individual pens
and the hog lot as well. One of the
best mixtures suggested for giving` . to
cholera stricken hogs is as follows:
Wood charcoal one • pound, sulphur one
pound, salt two one,
bicarbonate
soda two pounds,hyposulphtte soda two
pounds, sulphate soda one pound, black
antimony one pound. These ingredients
should be completely pulverized and
thoroughly mixed. The dose is one
large tablespoonful fox -each 200 pound
weight of hogs to be treated, and it
should be given only once a -day.

This'is the paramount feature of
Practical breeders have frequently ob.
served that hogs break down in the
hind quarters when fed exclusively on
corn. This is due to the fact that
corn does not supply enough mineeal
matter; and hence the importance Pe
-having a box of the character suggested
convenient for the animals at all times..
The best means of fighting teal eholera
is to keep the, animals in a sanitary
condition, and in the best of health,
which means to supply eel the neede
the animal system and to give them
sanitary sleeping places and pyre water
to drink. One of the best means of
Instiring° hectlehye vigorous animals is
to supply them abundantly waste fruit
and green food, such as the pastures
mentioned always insure. - °
Any animals dying, -no matter from
what cause, should be burned and the
place 'carefully- disinfected. Numerous
diiinfectants are now made that are
cheap and effective and "an ounce of
Prevention is worth a. pound of cure."
So the sleeping places and the yards oc-
cupied by the hogs should be thoroughly
disinfected once a week. A suitable
sprayer can be obtained for 'about 75
'cents. Hog cholera in the sciuth can
never be controlled unless the animals
dying with it are iinmediately burned,
as the buizards and other predaceous
animals spread the disease by feeding
upon the dead and contaminating the
streams, leaves, grass and everything
with which they come in contact.
If lice are troublesome a mixture
composed of equal parts of kerosene oil
and grease will effectually destroy -them,
lt, may be applied with a- brush. If
the animals cannot be approached in
the open, drive them into a lot some-
where and see that the vermin are de-
stroyed, as they seriously discommode
the animals, and so retard growth and
development. I am; personally opposed
to hogs following mutes, horsee, cr
other animals to gain a part of their
living. .15 is a. filthy and unsanitary
practice, and there are too maner other
wastes that should be Stopped on the
