".Each word," "Good. Well—I can't tell you why, because I don't know, and I could not understand it if I did— there was some political import - untie attached to these gems, and the Sultan roped our ]foreign Of- fice into it. Se the Foreign Office placed Jaelc in charge of the busi- ness. He fixed up the Envoy in tate house at Albert Gate, got a lot cd diamond cutters, and ma- chinery -for him, gave him into the charge uf all the smart policemen in London; and what do you think is the upshot ?" • "Wheel" "The Envoy, his two secretaries, and a confidential servant were murdered the night before last, the diamonds were stolen, and Jack has vanished—absolutely guile clean into space, not a sign of him to be found anywhere. Yesterday Edith sends for are, cries for half an hour, tells me I'm, the hest fellow that ever lived, and then I'm jig- gered if she didn't wind up by say- ing that she cunldn't marry ate."' The earl of Fairhol-ine was now worked up to fever heat. He would not calm down fur an appreciable period. so Brett resolved to try the effect of curiu-,ity. He wrote a telegram to Lord Northallertun "Very sorry, but I cannot leave town at present. Please ask me later. Will explain ',erica for post- ponement when we meet." He had touched the ,dominant note in mankind. "Surely:" cried the earl, "you have not already decided upon a course of action 7" "Nut exactly. I am wiring to postpone a shooting fixture."' "What a beastly shame!" ex elaimed the other, in whose the sporting instinct was at once aroused. ''I'm awfully sorry my affairs should interefere with your arrangements in this way." "Not a bit," cried Brett "I make it a sacred rule of my life to put pleasure before business. I mean," he explained, as a look of bewil- derment crossed -his• hearer's face, "-that this. quest of ours promises to be the most remarkable affair I have ever been engaged in. That pleases me. Pleasant -shooting is a serious business, governed by the callendar and arranged by the head -keeper." An electric bell summoned Smith. The barrister handed him the tele- gram rivet a sovereign. "Read that message," he said, "Ponder over it. Send it, and give the change of the sovereign to Mrs. Smith's brother, with my c?impli- ments and regrets_" CHAPTER, II. Then rte• turned to Loral Fair - }mime, "Just ane question," he eaid, "before I send you off to bed. Nu, you must nut protest. I want toe to meet me here this evening at • seven, with your brain clear'and your nerves restored by a good, sound sleep. We will dine, here or elsewhere, and act subsequently. But at this moment I want you to know the name of the person most readily accessible who can tell me all about Mr. Talbot's connection With the Sultan's agent." {'Tris sister, undoubtedly.

Here was a gentle- man --Dire ebviumily iaccustomed to the manners ea, '3iocietee---who de- clined tit accept, the courteous elaimer of an eexpected visit. "MissTnlbotis not receiving•visi- tors." he explained. "Exactly. Take that c•ai'd and the letter to Miss Talbut and bring me the answer." Jeames was no match for his an- iagonist. •He silently, slowed the- way he way into a reception room and dis- appeared. A minute later he an- nounced, with much deference, that Miss Talbot would see Mr. Brett in the library, and he conducted this mysterious visitor upstairs. On rejoining Buttons in the hall he solemnly observed: "That's a swell cop who is with the nissus-shining topper. button- hole, buckskin gloves, patent lea thers, all complete. Footmen caia't in it ]vith the force, nowadays." Jetimes expanded his magnificent waistcoat with a heavy sigh over this philosophical dictum, the poig- nancy of which was enhanced by his knowledge that the upper house- maid had taken to conversing with a mounted policeman iii the Park during her afternoons off. The apartment • in which Brett found himself gave ready. i:iidicae tions of the• character of its tenants. Tod's "Rajasthan" jostled a vol- ume of the Badminton Library on the bookshelves, a copy of the Alia- habad Pioneer lay beside the Field and the Times on the table, and many varieties of horns made tro- phies with quaint weapons on the walls. A complete edition of Ruskin, and some exquisite prints of Rossetti's best known works, supplied a dif- ferent set of emblems whilst the room generally showed signs of daily uccupation, "An Anglo-Indian uncle, 'artistic niece," was the barris'ter's rapid comment, but further analysis was prevented by the entrance of Miss Edith Talbot. The surprise of the pair was mu- tual. Brett expected to see a young, pretty and clever girl, vain enough to believe she had brains_, and suf- ficiently well endowed with that rare commodity to be able to twist the good-natured Earl of Fairholme round her little finger. Young, not more than twenty— unquestionably beautiful, with the graceful contour and delicacy bal- anced features of _a portrait by Romney -Edith Talbot bore few of the marks that pass current as the outward and visble signs of a mod- ern woman of Society. That she should be self-possessed and dress- ed.in perfect taste were as ohvt'eus ad'junots of her character' as that each phase of her clear thought should reflect itself •in a singularly mobile face. To such a woman pretence was impossible, the polite 6e`iune of fashionable life impossible. Brett readily understood why the :Earl of Fairlfolme had fallen in !eve with this fair creature. He had simply bent in worship before a goddess of his own treed. • To the girl, Brett wa equal]e a r'evelation. • Fairholme's introductory ' ote described the barrister as "the smartest criminal lawyer in London —one whose aid would be invalu- able." She' expected to meet a sharp -featured, wizened, elderly man, with gold -rimmed eye -glasses, a queer voice and a nasty habit of asking unexpected questio:rs. In place of this commonplace per- sonality, she encou,itered a hand- some, well-groomed gentleman one who won confidence by his in- tellectual face, and detained it by invisibly establishing a social equa- lity- Fortunately, there is yet in Britain an aristocracy wherein good birth is synonymous with good breeding -a' freeman„nry whose pass -words. cannut be simulated, - nor its membership bought, Brett read the wondee. in the girl's eyes, and hastened to ox- pain.

Icings hsYld it to be a clear triumph for pedigree selection; but, on the other hand, of several agri- cultural experts with whom one of our representatives went over the ground, those adhering to Profes- sor Biffin of Cambridge are not dis- turbed. In two or three of the var- ious trials the Mendelian wheats certainly get the worst of it, but the Cambridge men point out that many factors enter into the eonsid- eration, that on another soil and in another kind of weather the re- sults may be altogether different, and that the rival wheats are -after all not yet harvested and weighed against each other.

Jack told me it was quite as big as a good-sized hen's egg. Both it and the others, he said, had the appearance of lumps of alum; but the experts said that the smaller stones were worth more than a million sterling, whilst the price of the large one could not be fixed. No one but an Em- peror or Sultan would buy it.

THEORIES IN 11"1IEA'F. Exllexinients Being Made, With Six- ty -'Three Varieties. There is a touch suggestive of Omar Khayyam in the idea of three - and -sixty conflicting varieties of whcat,'but in the 'quiet heart of ag- ricultural Essex, •l3ngland, there has been proceeding with silent10- tensity throughout the present sum- mer a singular combat, says the Lender) Standard. The pert'ea are position ill the ingttii' dee f et,' in this present affair. Will of battle are of various points on need to be regenerated again by special selection. One attempt which the Mendelians are now mak- ing is being closely watched by farmers. English wheat usually fetches a few shillings less" per quarter in. Mark lane than wheat. from California, .and certain kinds from. Canada. The reason is that these foreign wheats are "strong- er," that is, rise better in the loaf, than English wheats. The explana- tion is believed to lie in the differ- ence of climate, but the secret isnot yet definitely known, and the Mendelians are now trying to breed a new English variety, which shall equal Californian wheat in strength. SCIENTIFIC DRY -FARMING. That dry -farming .methods, when properly followed, are successful has just been demonstrated by Professor Briggs, Kearney and Shantz, .of 'the Department of. Ag- riculture, who in be?ra'1'f• of the de- partment, ' have coglaleted an in- vestigation nvestigation of the dry .£arm. in Idaho, II. S. Professor Briggs, be- fore leaving this city, stated that in all of the travels of the commit- tee it has net seen either irrigated or non -irrigated farming which produced better results than were to be found on the dry farms here, in the face of the fact that the year has been one of eevere drought. The Woodsmansee and Webster Farm of 6,000 acres is producing 2,- 400 acres of Turkey red wheat, that will average not less than 40 bush- els when threshed. This result is obtained under dry -farming tillage methods, and the use of 30 pounds of seed to the acre. Mr. 0, H. Woodsmansee of Rex- burg, Idaho, has been invited to address The Sixth International Dry -1 arming Congress to be, held in Colorado Springs, October 16 to 20, explaining his methods of til- lage and business, utilized on his big ranch. Mr, 1Voodmansee is said to be one of the most exacting farm operators in the West, and is able 'tri tell at the close of each year'to a fraction of a cent, the cost of ploughing, harvesting and handling his crop. In the vicinity of Idaho Falls Government men found 50,000 acres of dry land grown grain that will run from 30 to 50 bushels to the acre. In addition to this, the val- ley is now harvesting 160,000 acres of diversified dry -farmed drops, all of w•liieh,are producing heavily. The valley already, has about 200,000 acres of dry -farmed land under what is known as atimmer tillage or fallow,which will be seeded this ;loll, , Give the average nian half' a chance and he'll want the other half.

The coal was hauled up out of its hold in great buckets, which were hoisted by cables far above our heads to where dump cars were standing . on a track on a lofty trestle.

After leaving Jaekfleh we passed round. a most remarkable horseshoe where the track .looped right round the bay on a bank built up a long way above the water.

That night I waked about ono o'clock and found that the train was standing still, : I raised . the blind' at my window =that is one advantage of "'having a lower 'berth -and looked out of the win- dow. Two giant buildings of a grey coior towered up right outside my win- dow, and I recognized them at once from, pictures as the grain elevators of Fort William. They are tromendoue build• lags and they reminded me from the outlines that I could see dimly against the night sky, of the pictures of Notre Dame cathedral in Montreal, Our barn wouldn't be knee high to a grasshopper beside ono of these elevators. They aro enormous. They were the first thing to remind sue that we were getting pretty near the West and rte great wheat fields. and you may be sure I was pretty in- terested. I just gazed .at them till we. started off again, which was not long, and the last I saw of Fort William was n great black rugged hill standing out a'ainst the sky with electric lights twinkling in the town beneath.. it. I am told that this mountain was thought by the Indians to. be a sleeping giant.
