Most of our small rubbers are of that sort, but occasion- ally we run across either a gentleman or one who is very capable of personat- lug a gentleman. One of the dangers thieves and rob- bers encounter is being given away by a pal. It is singular how runty cases there are of quarrelings over the di- vision of plunder taken by rascals who Work together, and once a break is made among them it widens indefi- nitely. Revenge is always within reach by informing, though this course is lieble to react on the informer. One morning the mail brought my chief aletter, badly written and mis- spelled, informing him that Jim ale - Finland, alias Slippery Jim and several other aliases, would that evening at- tend as a guest a function to be giv- thel ofthe place, • by one of swells 1 , his object being to get away with cer- tain articles of value. No description of AIr, McFarland was given—indeed, no other information than here men- tioned. 1 was directed to examine the police records and the rogues' gallery with a view to discovering a biography or a photograph of the crook. But I found no mention of any such person, so I inferred that if the information received were genuine be const be a newcomer. I believed that 1t was genu- ine, for I could not see that anything was to be gaiued by sending In a false statement. Indeed, it was apparent to me that thieves had fallen out and honest men were likely to get their dues. I must attend the function, but I must do so either without an invitation or the host must know that I ntn a detective. To secure admission as a detective would require taking the host into my confidence and ns many others as he chose to confide in. These people would all be looking for the crook, and he would be scared away. I preferred to go to the ball myself •incoguito. Sometimes n guest will be known to the host, but not to the hostess, and vice versa. Therefore a person with- out an invitation stands a good chance to nttend n function without being questioned. On this chance 1 relied. 1 got myself up as immaculately as possible, parting my hnlr in the mid- dle in order to give me the appearance of a superfine gentleman. In the dress- ing room 1 made remarks upon the wenther to several different men in or- der to give the impression that 1 was' acquainted with them and went down- stairs chatting with a man who seem ed not averse to .my advances. 1 re- frained from going at once to sante the hest nud hostess, keeping away from them purposely while they were together so they could not compare notes concerning me. 1 had not been long on the main floor when I began to scan the faces for my quarry. though 1 expected to find him, If at ali, upstairs. I made frequent visits to the dressing room and after the guests had ceased to arrive and the upper stories were' deserted took the risk of looking into rooms, some- times opening the doors in order to get an inside view. In one of these ex- plorations I opened the door of a room where a nurse was sitting beside a child in its crib. I apologized for mak- lug a mistake and withdrew at once. Among the guests 1 noticed one who seemed to be receiving the lion's. share of attention. I asked 'who be was and was iufortnetl•that he was the Uou. Clifford Radcliffe, a younger son of a British earl. He seemed to be a quiet sort of person, listening to what was saki to him rather than talk- ing himself ancl"not flattered by the at- tention paid him. While observing him I saw a man presented to him— one in fine clothes, but with a very or- dinary face. Ilis hair nud beard were. 01 a disagreeable shade of red. Ldging near enough to bent. •him speak, 1 found that his accent was English. What especially struck me was that, while I could not be sure he dropped, his b's, the word ."have" sounded very like "'ave." While t am never disposed to Jump at conclusions, thio red hended indi- vidual seemed to ole to took more out of place than any other of the guests. At any rate,' I resolved to keep an eye on him. Considering that all were moving constnntly, this was not easy. Some time after 1 had first noticed him 1 looked about for hitt, but did not see hint. Thinking thnt 1 might catch him upstairs purioin.ing, 1 went up there. Returning to my expedient of opening doors "by mistake," I turned several knobs. On one of tbeSe entrances I was surprised to see the .red headed man standing at a dresser. Ile had divested himself of his dress cost and Ind put on a rack. At the moment I opened the door, width I did Softly, he was looking for something on the dress- er, t recognized him by his reflection 111 the mirror, 131s eyes being lowered, be was not aware of my presence. De- sirous of preserving this advantage over hitt, 1 closed the door without tnal:itg the slightest hedge, hurried to e telephone booth, which 1 had taken 'pnlns to locate early in the evening, tad called for tit couple of men In plain TUB WING elotbea to emus to the bowie at onto They nrrivel in exact,y four militates t, suet thein at the door stmt directed thein to tvatt thele till I called for thein. Then I sought Pe host. 1 tuunt) Hint chatting with the Icon Clif- ford Itadeiiffe and, ceiling (hila aside.. told hint that there lvus a crook 1u his )louse and Iliac I hill calledfor the police to arrest hini. I hail caught him in a room upstairs and thought It quite probable he was there still. Would he go With me tiud dither con firm or nullify my suspicions by hav- ing a look at the mail? Iie went with ane, I calling in the two nen at the door, and w'e all climb• eel the stairs together. As we reached the landing above the red headed ratan 08e don ttsss room the ronattired in Wall - "Do yon know him?" 1 asked the host. "No. i've been wondering who he is ail tine eveutng." "Have 1 your permission to arrest him?" "Yes. Can you do It without making a scene?" "Certnittly, 1Fe'il take flint down the back stairway."' The man we were talking about on seeing us recoiled, At first be seemed disposed to go back into the room from which he bad emerged, but reconsid- ered this move and cane on toward tis. I looked an order to my then to take him, andi if hustled to u, n a jiffy he was st ed o rear staircase, down it and out through a door, I told the men that I would join them presently zit the pollee sta- tion and they must not let him throw nnything away, especially the bundle he carried under his arm. Then I went down the front stairs with the host. We met the Hon, Clifford Radcliffe at the foot of the stairs. At that mo- ment the man arrested shouted from the rear of the house, "You fools, you're spoiled"— A, door was shut, preventing any more from being heard. "What's the trouble?" asked Mr. 'Radciiffe. "Only a thief in the (house being taken to a police station," replied the host. "I'm thankful hitt his cry was not heard in the rooms." "Indeed!" said the Englishman. "I've often thought what a tine chance thieves hire to come into houses when functions are going on and steal." "We've got this fellow, anyway. Go- ing; so early, Mr, Radeiitfe?" "Yes; I roust be going, You Amerl- cauis have been so kind to me since I cause over that I've been kept up late every night since I arrived here. I bid you good night. I've already taken leave of your good wife." "Good night, Mr. Radcliffe." The Englishman went on upstairs.' i remained with the host for a time to Instruct hini in what he should do on the morrow in appearing against the thief, telling him that we should prob- ably find the man's bundle fillet) with stolct goods. I did not hurry because there was 110 occasion to hurry. and the gentleman with whom I w•as•talk• lug was constantly railed upon with "flood uigitt; have enjoyed your huspi• (nifty immensely." Finally, having said all I wished to say 1)1111 apologized for cooling without a11 invitation, 1 lade him good iiiplit,nl,lst•1! and went 1111 to the dressing count for nay hat and overcoat.

Seeds, For tho Most Part, Are Planted Too Deep, 111 the mind of the beginner, snys the National Stockman uan and Fernier, and of the young farmer there is some- times considerable doubt as to the depth corn should 'be planted. The same tiling applies to wheat and to oats. As a general criticism the judg- ment and observation of experienced farmers affirm that seeds are for the most part placed too deep. Some farm- ers have done so, but I have never planted oorn on any field in which it was wise to allow the planter frame to "float" (take its own depth). I have nevci- planted corn. so .shallow that it proved any drainage to the resulting stand of corn, yet many a time, espe- cially in the first years, have we plant- ed parts of the field so deep that they never came up at all if wet weather set In after early planting. We have learned that it pays best to plant our corn just as shallow as we srnaarENs OP SEED coni. can and still cover all. Even if occa- sional hills be left uncovered I believe that it is much better to follow up With a hoe and cover the occasional hill by hand than to set the planter un- necessarily deep just to catch the firm Spots of ground. The man who has done much corn planting on fields in which the soil varies In texture will have learned to keep constant watch and change his governing lever as the planter moves from one kind of ground to another more firm or less firm. In a field of this kind it is out of the ques- tion. to set the planter for a. definite depth and maintain It from end to end Of a row, and row after row, and at the same time do an accurate job of plac- ing the corn at the right depth. It is impossible to forecast the weather; therefore trying to plant in anticipation of wet or dry weather is nut of the question as well. The best tion to do is ^ n i il yton t c pate a wet spec rind plant the corn shallow. We have bad such corn lie in the ground for sev- eral days before receiving sufficient moisture to admit of germination, but -Chis corn subsequently came up well and made a usual crop. But planting deep for fear of being left uncovered, tor fear of dry weather, simply out of carelessness, etc., locates the corn so deep sometimes that in case of wet weather it rots badly before it can get 'sufficient air to make germination pos- sible. Much complaint has often been made of corn rotting in wet spots, whereas it would have germinated well bad it not been planted so deep. Bette„ a great deal leave an cy:usfonal 11111 Uncovered than. regulate the planter r• 1(i i an unusual iroliii WS 10 render germination of the other hundreds of hills quite doubtful. The first thing to do is to have the planter working right; if it is out of order, if the marker is so loosely hung that constant watch has to be exer- cised for fear Of losing it, etc., no leen can give thorough cttention to necessary details of the machine to shifting the lever to proper de when necessary.

Especially in case of late springs it often beeontes desirable to give the soil the last harrowing directly In front of the corn planter. Dimly thus find It difficult to keep over the mark In driv- ing the planter because of the confus- ing array of marks left by the harrow teeth. Consequently many farmers bare re€orted to the use of the plank drag instead. We have found this un- desirable because itt case of rain the sllrftu•e.gots much harder. For leaving a file even surface ahe:sd of the planter without firming the ground in an undesirable way we have found that an old steel hay rake nxle dragged Immediately after the r •1 h:h h 1w, fastened by neons of wires two feet long to the harrow, does the work admirably. .WORKING YOUNG HORSES. Care Must Be Taken Not to Overload Them In the Beginning. Be careful and not overwork the ani- mal at the start. It is a comparative- ly easy matter to overwork a young horse the first few days he is put to work, says the American Cultivntort Understand the draft of the machine he Is hitched to so as not to work him be- yond his capacity. Some people seem to have the impression that a young' horse can do as much work as an old horse, during his first year, but this is a mistake. If possible do not allow the young animal to pull a heavy plow the first season he is put to work. If he is well matured a limited amount of heavy work will not do any harm, but the evil comes when be is worked beyond his strength. The way a collar fits bas a marked Influence on the working disposition of any horse, be he young or old. It is a difficult matter to fit a collar to a young horse so it will draw properly. It is a good practice to use an old col- lar when starting him to work, A new collar cannot be properly adjusted to the conformation of the shoulders and in almost every case will cause chat- ing. Do not allow the draft on the shoulders to come too low at first Let it be as straight as possible until the coilar has adjusted itself to the conformation of the shoulders, Atten tion should also be paid to the length and width of the names. Improperly adjusted hames will chafe the shoul- ders much more quickly .than a poor fitting collar. If the young horse is put to' plowing be should be given the advantage of the other horse. Allow him to rest fre- quently and do not put him in lona; hours. If the weather is very warm. as it often is in the spring, care should be taken not to overheat his blood. Never allow flim to sweat very much the first season when working, for it has a tendency to tirritate and develop nervousness. Keep the animal up in good flesh.Keehng good in ,o u of grain to encourage taking on flesh rather than failing off. THE FRESHENING COW. Animal Needs Particular Care at This Critical Period. The cow should 130 longer be left to get along the best way she can when her calf is born. For a week or two be- fore the little one comes she ought not to be given any heavy feed, writes E. L. Vincent in the American Cultiva- tor. It is important that her body shall be as cool••as possible, and mai and such hearty food tends to create more or Tess of a fever. Then, too, it is a good thing to give the cow a dose of salts very shortly before she is to be confined. The rea- son for this is that, with the trowels well emptied, she is more likely til pass her ordeal without serious difficulty. Close watch should be kept of the cow as she (nears maternity, and when the time is fully' come place her in a good, roomy box stall. Better do this several nights rather than to miss it. The floor of this stall ought to be Well covered with straw—not long straw, for that might trip the calf up. as he struggles to his feet, but short, flue straw. Ail that might injure cow or calf ought to be removed from the stall. To warm the cow up and title her over the crisis after the calf is born, a good mash of wheat bran is a fine thing. This, being laxative in its na- ture, starts the bowels in the right di- rnniinn ted to too raw on an 'ur Or 1n it - 11• ' ly, ue or try nt0 t1t ed ba THE DOMINION BARK e(I RDMUNt710, Q*(, $, M,P., PerelA[NT,, W.
