In the United States, where the growth of the automobile in- dustry has been very large, the number of horses increased from 20,640,000 in 1908 to 21,040,000 in 1909, while the aver- age value increased from $95.64 to $108.19.

Hartridge, who has been paid $50,000 by Mrs. Thaw for his services, has been defeated in his suit for $93,000 more fees and disburse- ments in his fight to save the cowardly inurderer's life. Nor is that all. Hart - ridge is likely to be prosecuted on charges of perjury, bribing witnesses, and obstsrueting justice. The court has already directed that disbarment pro- ceedings should be entered against the lawyer.

Indeed, Dr. Hodgetts, of the Provincial Board of Health, says the muzzling order is not likely to be rescinded soon, It will probably have to be continued far longer than other- wise, because of it being ignored by so many, thus spreading the infection. The latest to apply for the Pasteur treat- ment are the wife and daughter of a Middlesex farmer. Up in Kent a num- ber of cattle have recently developed rabies. It is a good, safe plan to muz- zle the dogs, and keep them muzzled effectively. It will shorten the evil period. Some of our United States ceintempo- raries are very much exercised over the decline in marriege, and wonder much to, what it is to be attributed. Per. baps the investigations of Miss Inez Weed into the expense of dressing the girls in the fashionable schoola of New York city may furnish a. useful hint. She says that she foond the girls in those wealthy drain spend an average of $900 a year on dress, and would like to apend $3,500. Of eourse the girl whose demands for dress call for more than the average melee earnings is hardly well fitted to the average house. hold menage.

"Yes, the months go tea fast, don't they?" she said, smiling rather sorrowfully; but Blanche eritel mit gayly; "What doee that matted—there are plenty more to comer "Plenty more at your age—yes, my child; "hut not at mine; there is a gap between fifty and tlie twentiee, islet there? and we cannot go over time again, you know, little maid." "And would not, if we could," said Celestine, quiekly. "Wouldn't you?" exclaimed Mimes Clif- ford, in surprise'. "Oh, I wouldn't mind.— and you are quite yoeng." Mrs. Errington set her lips, crushing the bitter mental answer; 'Yes, in years, anti years only. You here not lived my life—your trust be- trayed, your heart broken before you were eighteen, and yet etiR loving, living or dead, the man who hes broken it." Clifford ;same to her rescue, as he took up the Times, in his eomical, abrupt way,: "Your young bentlings crow loudly over what is beyond their ken. Instead of that, suppose we think of running off somewhere for a week this lovely spring weather; it makes c-ne long fora whiff of the flowers—oh, girlen—eill three, I mean. Easter fell too early and cold to leave town, se what say you?" "Say? It's jolly!" cried daughter and niece, in duet. Then Mimie exclaimed: "What fun it would be to go to some regular farm house for a week, and see butter made and cows milked, and drive them to water, and—" "Fatten up Mrs. Ellington into some approach to a matronly appearance," said the doctor, gravely, looking over his Times at the tall, girlish figure be- fore him. The girls burst into merrydaughter, in which Christine was fain to join. "I don't think anything would fatten poor me, doctor," she said; "but 1V1imie's suggestion is capital, only personally I think some of her visions best left to the dairymaids or cowherds. Why, you goosey, you would run away if an old cow wagged her tail." "And I don't- believe you would run away," said the doctor, "if Satan himself, faced you!", "I hope not, Dr. Clifford. Well, then, it is to be a farm and ruralizing, I sup- pose; but where?" "'Ah, dat um question!' as the nigger said," remarked IN/Ernie. "I used, years ago," said Clifford, med- itating, "to attend an old Norfolk farm- er, near Carleham, one of the prettiest parts of the coast, and when your dear mother was ill I took her there once to recruit. I'll wire at once and see what can be done, at least. I'll read the pa- per first; and here is. a sheet for you. Now, what have I here? Oh, Newmar- ket first spring meeting—the TWO Thousand. Bahd'on't care for that stuff; but do you feel interested, Mrs. Errington?" he was laughing. "I? No, I hate it!" said the woman, with quick—a-most, it seemed, undue force. "I hate all gambling!" Then she added, withoi half laugh and more care- less manner: "I suppose I am rather prejudiced; I have been so niuch abroad, and, nt Monte Carlo especially, I have seen such ruin at the gaming tables." "Ah! that is enough to set one against it, certainly. Well, I shall not ruin my- self by backing horses at Newmarket, that's certain—not even Kingfisher, evil°, it seems from this, is heavily backed." "Were you ever at a race, Mrs. Er- rington?" Blanche asked. "Yes. my dear, several." "We never have yet. Uncle Rolo, you must take us all to the Derby this year --won't you?" "We'll see when the time comes, mis- sy. What are you ladies to do this morning?" "Whatever the girls please," said Christine, to whom the doctor looked, thereby bringing a slight frown to Blanche's pretty face. "I want to go out to the Row" she said, "and see everybody. Town Is fill- ing, and we're sure to meet some one we know." Mimie assented; but, with a caressing hand on Christine's shoulder, as she added: "That is, if our chere madame likes "Nay, dear Mbnie, I am at your ser- vice. Go and dress, both of you; I shall be ready before you." In half an hour the three were in the park, and presently reached the Row, which was fairly alive with riders end pedestrians, and many were the admir- ing looks directed to the trio, especially to beautiful Christine. "There is Mrs. Addison," she said, as a fine, dathing looking woman, about thirty, approached, accompanied by a handsome young fellow of perhaps five or eix••and-twenty, "1 wonder if that ie the brother the doctor mentioned the other day as being on his grand tour?" Mrs. Addison was a lady whose ac- quaintance the Cliffords had made at Brighton last autumn' be it said. A few moments, andthose two partied met. . "How do you do?" cried Mrs, Addison, evith empressement. "So glad to see you all in town! Allow me to present my brother. Archer Northcote, Mrs. Er- rington—Miss Clifford—Miss Leroy." Bows and usual courtsies exchanged; then Mrs. Addison, leavieg her brother to the two girls, asked: - "And how is the doctor? Have you been in town long?" "Oh, Dr. Clifford neVer ails, you know," fetid Mrs, Erringtot; "and we have been in town all winter," "Yes," truck in lelireie, joyously. "But isn't it NIL Mrs. Addieon? We re all going for a week or ten days to rur- alize at farni house. So jolly!" "Ohl" said the lady, "are you'? 'Yes, that is very nice. When -do you all go, then, Miss Clifford?"

I suppose you don't know that pat of the world at all?" $he smiled, rather amused, "Very well indeed," she said, quietly. Mimie laughed out. "1 den't think there are many places Mrs, Errington does not know," she said, "she has done nothing but travel and wander for eight years, I fancy." "Indeed. Theu I sing small," said Archer, bowing, and wondering who could be the handsome Mrs. Errington. "And have you been, then, in India?" "Yes, often; not for long at a time, except *nee for four months." At that point the daek figure that had been like an unseen shadow in their wake struck off at right angles, and stole swiftly away over the grass to- ward the end of the Serpentine, That afternoon Falconer St, Maur, when he came in to start for Newmark- et, with his Indian fidus Achates, was plaoed in full possession of Clifford's projected to the Norfolk farm, near Carleham. Falconer's eyes glowed. "Fortune favors me," he said. "After Newmarket, then, Snowball, we go to this Carleham. Remember." "Yes, sahib." "She shall see me I" muttered St, Maur, turning .away, his right hand clinched. "She shall confess that I am not quite unloved; and vow to me, in my arms, with my lips pressed to hers, that no other man's have dared to touch them as mine do—my darling— mine !" His! ay !—but how wronged, how terribly sinned against! She might love still; but could she forgive or forget? * * * • One morning Mr. Morley found among his letters one dated from Newmarket, and well he knew that small but bold, clear hand: "Dear Morley,—You will see by the papers that Kingfisher won the Two Thousand, and as I had backed him heavily, I have won—a good pile, too. Also, I had taken Major Addison and others against his own Hercules—which was second—so again I won. The upshot is that when I return to town I'll take up that bill you renewed last month. I go from here into Norfolk on a private matter, but I shall be up shortly, I hope. Yours faithfully, "Falconer St. Maur." "H'm!" said the money -lender, med- itatively; "now, I wonder what mis- chief that handsome sinner is after in Norfolk. I hope not the marriage iusi- ness I suggested only to get at the key -note of him. I wouldn't like to see him do tha—it would he the out-and- out ruin of thefellow—cut away his only chance of reform. What evil fairy came and crossed his birth with that passion for play, I wonder?" And that very evening the object of his thoughts was standing in a private room of an inn at Carleham and saying to Rahninee: ,"The Nun's Farm, do they call it where these Cliffords have arrived? The game is mine, for I shall easily find some hidden vantage -place near it to watch, hour by hour, day by day—and if she goes out alone, follow her—if not before they leave then"—the ruthless lines about the handsome mouth deep- ened—"I will take other means to gain my end, for by Heaven I will gain it!" CHAPTER VIII. "Well, girls, what are you going to do this afternoon?" said • Roland Clifford, a few days after their arrival at the Nun's Farm. "1 am going to ride over the farm with Farmer Knowles, and you Three Graces will, I suppose, go to the beach again and explore the country- side," "Blanche and 1," said Mimie, "are go- ing to stay in and see Mrs. Knowles and till maid make butter; else we sha'n't have another chance, as she only makes It once 8 week." "And you, Mrs. Errington, butter -mak- ing, too?—not you?" Christine looked out .at etne bright sunshine and waving trees, rich in their fresh spring dress of green, and shook her head, smiling. "No, indeed, thanks, if the girls win excuse me. 1 am not interested in but- ter -making when warra sunahhie and tree< tempt me to 'wander. I will go out and•explore." "Very good, my dear, only don't lose yonrself. Here Comes the farmer and horse; I hear them at the front door, so teeta." "I will thine and see you off at the gate, then, as an honor," said Mrs. Er- rington, taking up her hat and throwing a crimson scarf carelessly about her as she followed the doctor through telt open window on to the path. A flower garden with a fine carriage sweep lay between the quaint old house and the road, and it evts on this drive before the verandah that they found. the farmer and two handsome roadsters. "At your service, sir," said the old Man, heartily. "Ah, good -day, Mrs. Er- rington. Ws a good sight always to see the Almighty's beet handiwork, 1 say— and that's youth and beauty, my dear," "Youth will plies and beauty fade, though, Mr. Knowles," she said, half lightly, half sadly. "And what then?" "What then! We've got the tiairie 'heart, child! Me and my old !Meets Mel changed in here, and it's forty years since the parson made us one; and smolt as you won't never be changed In some- body's eyes, 1 expect, either," he added, preparing to mount. "I have lost my husband years ago," mid Christine, with resolute quietness. "Oh, ma'am, 1 ata so sorry/ 1 didn't Icnow," began the old farmer, mueh dis- tressed!.

"Good -day, ma'am." "Take care of yourself, iny dear," re- turned Clifford, lifting Ns. hat, She laughed, kissed her Mont and started off on her explorations. But her heart was heavy as she went on so light of foot. When was it not heavy? When did the memory ef the past ever slumber, or the "restless, un- satisfied longing" cease? The tarn:wee inadvertent words had only brought the aching heart -pain into the foreground. She went on and on, now in the open with a fell view of the wide sea, lying a mile or more away to her right—a vast grave of buried hopes and lives, moan- ing forever in its grand monotony of woo for the dead it meet yield up . at the, last great day. There was her awesome thought as she paused at length on the hill to will& the foot -track an4 winding green lanes had brought her; and she turned from it at last with a kind of,wreneh, niul pass- ed slowly iota the wood, on the verge of which she had paused. H'ow beautiful it wes'this wood, with nue tangled lindergrowtle she lied to put aside to advance! the trees, all loaded with yeteng leaves, arching high over her heed, letting the glorious sunshine flick- er in between them as the light breeze etiteed them, and making music, with the ,eweet '.croo-croo of the wood -pigeon's note, and the song tend twitter of many birds chantug their praises to heaven; no sound, no sign of lumen life oe throb- bhag human heart save her own, for miles perhaps; the utter solitude of nature that should have soothed this human soul alone in its midst. But did it? Why, then, the restless impatience of the action with which the woman's slender hands pushed aside a droop'eng bough, and so gave herself passage into a little epen space, whero Some winter storm had wrenched the huge bough from a noble tree and tossed it at its parent's foot for the dryads to weep over? Why did she fling her bat upon the ground as if even that were a weight on her brow, and stand with hands locked upon her breast and head drooping, so beautiful, so paetetie, mo- tionless. without repose—still, without peace of rest? "I am so weary," she muttered., "so tired of life—when life is gone Hal what is that!" Christine started, and stood listening intently to tile unmistakable crush of the brushwood where she herself had passed; all her inaeculine courage could not stay the thrill of woman -terror as she remembered how utterly lonely the place was. The next minute a tall man came into the open space and stopped a couple of paces before her. That form, that face, it might have come from the other side of the world, or the grave itself; it might have been a hundred years or a thousand, instead of six, and she would have known it at once. She staggered like one blinded, dazed. "Falconer!" she whispered under her breath. ."Faleener!" His heart Wasbeating madly, his blood was like five, as with one step forward he had her in his arms, locked in a restless embrace—passion, remorse, shame, yet wild joy and triumph, as he felt her .heart give back throb for throb against him own—felt the slight form yield in utter abandonment to him for those first moments of delirious bap- piness in which for her the years rolled back, and she was a girl again on her lover's breast. "Christine—wife—come back to me— forgive!" Then the whole tide of memory, with. all its cruel weight of wrong, swept over the woman's proud soul and broken, yet still loving heart, and she started from his arms, freeing herself with a desper- ate movement, and stepped back. "Forgive? Oh, it is so easy to plead for that *hen you have taken full licenee of sin, and grown perhaps weary of the worthless companion for whom you left —abandoned—a, young wife scarcely eighteen, never thieking or car- ing for the frightful temptations and dangers to which you es. -posed her in her despair, and that, too, after you had already strained her love almost to the uttermost, If I had dishonoredeyou as you have me—if I had hue as faithfless to you as you had been to me—and knelt to you for pardon, you would have stabbed me to the heart in your mad- ness, and killed your rival; and yet I ---the woman—must clasp my hands in meek thankfulness that at last—beeause the fancy is spent—the base companion ia in her turn left, and you come back —t� be forgiven till—the next tempta- tion. Heaven above, do you think wo- men have no passions, .but only hearts to be tranapkd on and broken, forgotten, unioned!" "Christine! No, not that—not that!" Falconer cried, flinging himself itt Ler feet in his passion of anguish end shame. "I deserve your sternest re- proaehea, your .bitterest words; but hot that—never forgotten, never uniclv !d, threugh all ahat miserable Fin and wrong. In pity, hear me, and beim.: that onlY you alone, from first lei last, have held my heart; ay, even during those few short mouths of madnees, of wild, insane infatuation, that made me the slave of a very Circe!

The manager of a big power house recently made an analysis of the am- ount of fuel energy in one pound of coal which was actually converted into elec. trical energy useful for work. One pound of coal may be taken to have Inherently 10,000 work unit. Of tbese 10,000 possible work units this manager found tht 300 were wasted in the ash pit, 1,900 in the stack, 560 in banking fires, 800 in radiation and miseellaneous losses. In other words, in the boiler room 3,020 work units were lost by radiation of heat from the pipes, and 4,810 work units were sacrificed in the condenser, so that the total engine room loss was 5,180 work units. In other words, only 1,200 work units weer actu- ally usable out of the possible 10,000 work units in a pound of coal. One- fifth of the eoal bill was paid simply to produce a draught in the smokestack. Means Perfect Results You don't even have to know what kind of cloth your goods are made of.

They are hid- eous creatures. They ravage the crepS and tear open new -bora lambs to fie at the milk ineide them; and where the natives aro timict and unable to harm them, they become wantonly savage and aggressive and attack and even kill wonlen and children, In Uganda, Cuningliame lead once been asked by a native chief to come to his village and ehoot the baboons, as they had just killed two women, bad- ly bitten several chidlren, and caused it reign of terror that the village would be abandoned if they wero not killed or inthnidated. He himself saw the torn and mutilated bodies of the dead women; and he stayed in the village a week, shooting eo many baboons that the remainder were thoroughly cowed. Baboons and boars are the most formidable of all foes to the dogs that hunt them—juet as leopards are of all wild animals those most apt to prey on. doge.. A baboon's teeth and hands, are far more formid- able weapons that those of any dog, and only ea very few wholly excep- tional dogs of huge size, and great, courage and intelligence, can single- handed eontend with an old male, But we saw a settler whose three big ter- riers could themselves kill a full- grown warthog boar; an. almost un- heard-of feat. They backed one an- other up with equal courage and adroitneee, their aim being for two to seize the hind legs; then the third, watching his chance, would get one foreleg, when the boar was speedily thrown, and when weakened, killed by bites in his stomach.—From "Afri- can Game Trails," by Theodore Roose- velt, in the May Scribner.

You can put a little accent on one-fourth and quar- ter a,nd get quite as good a laugh.
