crease between his brow:.
He tial wi.lnessed fon afar Sinclairs
!meeting with Ueity, and guessed that
it had sone:drew to do with Sunbeam.
Rile curiosity or mere devilry bad made
hint wait about outside the hotel, and
then Bettys distress had toughed Min.
He was amused also at the thought of
scoring off Dunean by helping the we -
man in. her Right, for IL was evident
that she was running away from Dun-
can; that he therefore would return to
the hotel In search of her. Mere devilry
also had prompted him to accompany
her and to malco the remark about Sun-
beam. The fear now on the woman's
face seemed incomprehensible, unless
it was due to Sunbeam's present pos!-
t:on, which naturally would alarm any
cf her friends.
But, as he sat silently cogitating, he
began to see more than that in Betty's
distress and alarm. And he had heard
enough about Sunbeam Lo guess that
this respectable, honest -looking woman
was the aunt who had brought her up,
the sister of the convict -burglar.
At that juncture his thoughts assumed
a new course. He looked eagerly across
at the woman's agitated face, then ris-
ing, nodded indifferently at her, and
then slipped to the ground. Glancing
back from the pavement, bo met her
eyes on his, though the next moment
the omnibus turning the corner, bore
her out of sight.
Then he hailed a hansom, whispered
hurried directions to the driver, and
swung round the corner as the omni-
bus rumbled off again after a momen-
tary wait,
But Hety's fears had vanished then,
tor she had seen the stranger, who had
been so kind and was yet se mysteri-
ously acquainted with her affairs, turn
his back on her and retrace his steps
towards Euston. Why he had followed
her into the 'bus, why he had started
her by the strange remark, .she could
not imagine, hut, at all events, he meant
no harm, or by, her silence, thought
himself on the wrong track. At all
events, she was safe. And she had not
betrayed 11111.
Had site noticed that a certain han-
som dodged her, following her at a safe
distance after she had alighted from
the 'bus and until she reached her
home, she would not have felt so reps-
sured as. to Bill's safely. Especially
had she also known that, a few minutes
later, St. Aubin entered the nearest po-
lite station and plunged into a low
raised conversation with the inspector
at. duty,
Although St. Aubtn loved Eileen and
head promised to help her, he felt ri
lurking pity for Sunbeam, and believed
her innocent. He else thought that Ei-
leen was genuine in her belief of the
girl's guilt. Therefore, he felt now that
what he had begun in joke trust be
carried out in earnest, and that his
sudden thought -that the woman he
had tracked to her home could perhaps
tell of Sunbeam's innocence -must not
be cast aside as impossible. Eileen
might be angry with hunt at first.. But
later, he felt sure, she would thank
him for preventing her from making a
terrible mistake, though tar the pre-
sent she need know nothing at all.
But the tale he had to tell was riot
easily believed by the thick-headed of-
ficial, who listened to hint with an In-
credulous smile,
"We want facts, sir, not suppositions;''
mho muttered coldly,.
"And you shall have them, if only
you'll de what I say. But if we waste
time we may fail altogether," retorted
SI. Aubin. "The woman may suspect
me, and, for all I know, act al once.
The sooner you set to work the better,"
"We can't work without proof," sniffed
the ether.
Nonsensel" exclaimed St. Aubin hot-
ly. "Am I to leave it to you, or go else-

"Let's hear it again, and then rll see;'

The kook Ile was watching for flitted
across her face, and her eyes shifted
from his.
"There's a terrible mystery now. what

plucking nervously at her gown. "Sun-

"How did eta leek, and Was she real-

The words were strangled by her sobs.
Sinclair laid (.tis hand soothingly on

Helty quivered visibly. A look of fear
darted info her eyes. A thrill of sod-

heart. For e. second she hated Lady

continued Sinclair gently. 'No one will

She flung his hand from her with a
cry of despair.
"Don't ask tae. There's netning-

"Sunbeam is in greab trouble, and
her trial will come off very soon. If

"Oh, how can I know (hat?' she

With which she fell back upon the
usual feminine weapon, weeping. And
se copious were her sobs, so incoherent
her words, that Sinclair could cull no
further information, and strode from
the room in despair.
"Tell the lady 1'11 return shortly," he
said to the waitress, "and keep her until

wiped her eyes and, sweping all aside,

and she had fled from him.
In disgust he wandered back to the
station, Although he knew ha might
find her in a day or two, his spirits
were damped, and he felt that until be

Lady Cruse nor Sunbeam that what he
had long suspected was really true.
Also he reflected that he had bungled

for his clue le But was lest, and he
felt convinced that Biu alone could
prove Sunbeam's innocence. Only two
days now were left before the trial, and
although they all seemed hopeful, in
their hearts they knew that unless Sun-

ing ehe would be proclaimed guilty by
all the world,
CHAPTER XXIX,
As Duncan guessed, it was fear that
made hefty Green run away from the
bole( during lits sheet absence -sear of
what he might yet make her say, and
of what she had already divulged.
Clutching her precious handbag, she
stepped resolutely into the quiet side
street, and sped hurriedly towards the
busting main read beyond. Never had
she longed so ardently for a crowd,
never ted the busy thoroughfare heck-
oned so temptingly. The sound of her
footsteps on the deserted pavement
struck terror into her, end she felt her-
self a landmark visible to all, If only
site could reach the welcome mess of
humanity, and lose herself among It,
bet:rre Sinclair returned to discover her
absencel leer she knew he meant to
question her further, to worm her se-
cret from her. She glanced back nerv-
ously fo see if the waitress ar Sinclair
were following her, and sighed, relieved,
as no sign of living being showed be-
tween her and the hotel. A few more
steps and she would be safe -a few
more steps and—
She collided heavily with a tall man,
who seemed to have sprung up sudden-
ly before her, As he looked down
apologetically her heart thumped with
apprehension. For perhaps he was a
friend of Mr, Sinclair's, The thought
spurred her on. She broke into a heavy,
spasmodic run, He overtook cher.

I says Prof. M. Cuthruing, before the New
Brunswick Formers' and Dairymen s
convention. A feeding steer would
. have in his voidings 00 per cent. of the
fertility which was M toad. A dall'Y
mw gluing an average Raw of mills
would leave 75 per ceut., or, if her pro-
duct Ie fed on the farm, there need not
b. a loss of more than 5 or 10 per cent,
of the fertility contained in the turd
she was given. If it was important
l0 keep live stock --or, rather, to have
live stock keep the farther -It was much
more important that this ltvo stock
should be of the 1 -est quality, for every-
one knew that there was stock that
would pay a profit, and stock that would
not. The problem for the progressive
farmer of Ito present day is to get es
many of the first kind as possible, and
as few of the other kind. 1n doing Ihit,
one had to depend upon breeding, se-
lecting and feeding, of which three op-
erations the speaker scarcely knew
what one was the most Important, All
were necessary, but he was inclined to
believe that, in this Province, at any
rate, feeding was even more negleoled
than breeding. it was a curious trait
in human nature that a man who could
summon up courage to buy Rrsl-class
stock, at high priors, would begrudge
...hose animals every extra ounce of
1 f,:od they might consume. Such a
course never paid.
The real value of an animal can,sist-
ed ant the amount of food it could con-
sume to advantage over and above the
amount neceseary to maintain the vital
functions. In the Cbll•ege herd, the
most profitable cow was the heaviset-
feeding one, Such a view did not, how-
ever, suit the ideas of many farmers.
One day the speaker was showing a
farmer the College herd, and pointed
out a cow that was giving 18,000
pounds of nttik annually, and which
was costing about $80 a year for feed.
The visitor considered this an outrage-
ous amount, compared with the $40 his
own cows cost him; but when et was
pointed out to him that the cow was
giving as great a return for the $80 she
was costiag se ejy of hies Cows, cost-
ing $135 for feed, were doing, he be-
gan to appreciate the value of profit-
able secrete rather more Than he had
previously.
'There had been a discussion at the
convention on beef cattle, and, incident-
ally, as to whether there was more pro-
fit in that branch of farming than in
dairying, Some time age the students
at the College were arguing the same
question, and those who favored beef
PT:eduction did so for the renewing rea-
sons: Beef cattle required (1) less labor,
(31 less skilled labor, (8) more could be
kept with the same amount of labor
because coarser products wore cr,nsum-
cd, and mare manure produced; (4) made
holidays and Sundays 10ss irksome; (5)
;required less capital in buildings and
equipment; (0) their manure was more
valuable; (7) less trouble with "blanks,'
and (8) help out the man of mature
years who is resting on his oars, and
Ls satisRed to keep up his farm with
a lair income.
Those in favor of dairying claim that
that industry (1) presents many teslanc-
03 of much more individual profit, even
making full allowance for labor; (2)
they gave this revenue regularly, thus
helping out the man of limited capital;
(3, it affords a better chance to keep
skilled labor at a profit the year round;
(4' it gives a man a better alliance to
keep pigs and poultry, etc., at a pro-
fit (5) when only butter is sold, the
manurial produot is fully equal to that
of beef cattle; (6) In beef produotion there
was trouble, as evidenced by the mar
keta, in competing with Western beef,
but dairying afforded a better chance,
even if the cost of produotton were high-
er and the preclude of a perishable
nature., (7) it aReeds a better opportunity.
If •bhcse argu'menes were solid, •then
the best farming -outlook was along the
dairy line, but there are whole sec-
tions, alnd parts, perhaps of every sec-
tion, where beef -raising ought to be
and can lee' carried on at a profit, A
geed deal had been said that day about
the dual-purpose cow. Fol- his (rho
speaker's) part, if he were e beef farm-
er, he would even Met cows capable of

Billy and Dnvle, after much. consid-

ltvo great watering -tubs in the yard,
where the horses wore watered. It was
odd weather, and at night they were
frozen over an itch or two in thickness,
and through the day, too, If Iltey were
not disturbed, Then Billy got two or
three empty grain -loxes, -.big, shallow
ohs, -and after banking snow sound
tlman1 to keep them from leaking, Ire
pumped them full of water and let
them freeze, over. These ice -cakes Billy
carefully removed as often as he could
get them frozen, and within three days,
by constant watching, he had, a great
many, as clear as crystal. Then he and
Davie marked off a square on the snow,
drove down pains of tall stakes at tiro
corners, and us many along the s' --des es
were needed.
The great ice -calces were then dropped

walls single sticks were laid, and more
