Rauld Henson struggled out o bed and into kis elothitig ua best ho could. He wasterribly weak and shaky, far more weak that he hall imagined himself to be, but he was in danger now, and his Indomitable will -power pulled him through. What a fool Littimer had been to tell brai so much, merely so that he might triumph over hie powerful foo for a few mitutes, But Henson was plan- ning a little scheme by which he in- tended to repay the young men ten- fold. lie had no doubt as to the willingness of his tool. Ile took a bottle of brandy from a drawer aud helped himself to a liberal close. Walker had expressly forbidden ything of the kind, but it was no time for nice medical obedience, The grateful stimuli -Mt had its immediate effeet. Then Em - men rang the bell, and after a time Williams appeared tardily, "You are to go down to Barnes and ask him to send a cab here as 00011 EU( possible," Henson said. "I have to go to London by the first train in' the morning." Williams nodded, with his mouth wide upon. He was astonished and not a little alarmed at tho strength and vitality o.f this man. And only a few hours before Williams had learnt with deep satisfaation that Henson would be confined to his bed for some days. Henson dressed at length and pack- ed a small portmanteau. But be had to sit 011 his bed for some little time and sip a further dose of bran- dy before he could move farther. Af- ter 4111 there W(U) 110 hurry. A full boar was sure to elapse before the leisurely Barnes brought the cab to the lodge -gates. Henson crept downstairs at length and trod his catlike way to the library. ()nee there he proceeded to make a 011nute Inspection of the telephone. He turned the handle just the fragment of an inch and a queer smile came over his face. Then he crept as silently upstairs, opened the window of the bathroom quiet- ly, and slipped on to the leads. There were a couple of insulators here, against the wire of one of which Henson tapped his knuckles gently. The wire gave back an an- sweing twang. The other jangled linip and loose. "One of the wires cut," Henson muttered. "I expected as much. Madame Enid is getting a deal too clever I suppose this is some sug- gestion of her very estate friend David Steel. Well, 3. have given Mr, Steel one lesson in minding his own business, and if he interferes further I shall have to give hint auother, Ile will bo in gaol before long charged with attempted murder and robbery with violence, and so exit Steel. Af- ter that the gi\lwill he perhaps chary of seeking- utside assistance. i And this will be he third X have had to get rid of. XTea,vensl How feeble I feel, how weak I am. And yet I must go through this thing now." Ile staggered into the house again and dropped into a chair. There was a loud buzzing in Ids eaes, so that he could hardly hear the murmur of voices in the drawing -room below. This was annoying, because Henson liked to hear everything that other folks said. Then lie dropped off into a kind of dreamy state, coming back presently to the consciousness that ho had fainted. Meanwhile Frank Littimer had joined Enid in the drawing -room. The house was perfectly quiet and still by this time; the dust -cloud hung on the air and caused the lamps to burn with a spitting blue flame. Etnicl's Saco looked deadly pale against her black dress. "So you 110X0 been seeing Regin- ald," she sahl. "Why -why did you do it?" "X didn't mean to," Frank mutter- ed, "I never intended him to know that X had been in the house at all, But, 3. Was passing 11 11 mom and he heard me. He seemed to know my footsteps.

There was something like tears in his ayes. "I know it," he sald. "I Mao the place and its dreadful associations. But I wanted to see Chris first. Did she say anything about me before- bef oro--" "My dear boy, she loved you al- ways, She, knew and understood, and was 'sorry, And elle never, never forgot the last time that you were in tho house." Prank Littimer glanced across the room with a shudder. Ms eyes dwelt with fascination on the over- turned table with its broken china and glass and wilted Bowers iu the corner. "It is not the kind of thing to for- get," he said, hoarsely. "I can see my father utv—" EOid shuddered. "don't recall it. 'And your mother has nev- er been the same since. 3. doubt if she will ever be the same again, From that dny to this nothing has ever been touched In the house. And Tfenson comes here when he can and makes 0111' lives hideous to us." "I fancy I shook him up to -night," Littater said, with subdued triumph. "He seemed to shudder when I told him that I had found Van Snack." Enid started from her ehair. Her eyes were shining with the sudden brilliancy of unveiled stars. "You have found Van Sneekl" she whispered. "Where?" "Why, in the Brighton nospttal. Do you mean to say that you don't know about lt, that you don't know that the man found so mysteriously in Mr. David Steel's house and Van Sneck are one and the same per- son?" Enid resumed her seat again. .31n) was calm enough now. "It. bad not occurred to me," , she said. "indeed, X don't know why why it should have done. Sooner or later, of course, I should bave suggested to hir. Steel to try and identify the man, but—'' "My deer 3.Dnid, what on earth are you talking about?" "Nonsense," Enid said, in some confusion. "Things you don't un- derstand at present, and things you are not going to understand just yet. I read in the papers that the man was quite a stranger to Mr, Steel. But are you certain that it is Van Sneck?" "Absolutely certain. I went to the hospital and identified him." "Then there is no more to be said on that point, But you weee foolish to tell Reginald." "Not a bit of It. Why, Henson has known it 011 along. You needn't got excited. Ile is a deep fellow, and nobody knows better than he how to disguise his 'feelings. 'All the same, he was just mad to know what I had discovered, you could see it in his face, Reginald ll'en- son—" Littimer paused, open-mouthed, for Henson, dressed and wrapped ready for the joiteney, had come quietly into the drawing -room. The deadly patio], of his face, the white band- ages about his throat, only served to render 1118 appearance more em- phatic and imposing. Ile stood there with the halo of dust aliout him, looking like the devil genius of the place, "I fear I startled you," he said, with a sardonic smile.

"'Well," Lit -timer cried, "and 1101 have you been getting on?" Miss Christabel Lee looked up smilingly. "I ant getting on very well in- deed," she said. "You see, I have made a study of this kind of thing alt my lifetime, and most of your pictures are like old Mends to 1110.

The grim lord of the castle was not ac- customed to this kind of thing, and lie was telling himself that he rather liked it. "And now show 1110 the Rem- brandt," Miss Lee said, impatiently. Littimer led the way to a distant alcove lighted from the side by a latticed window. There was only one picture 111 the excellent light there, and that was the famous Rem- brandt engraving. Iiittimer's eyes lighted 10) quite lovingly as they rested upon it. The Florentine frame was hung so low that Miss Leo mould bring her face on a level wlth it. is the picture that was stol- en from you?" she asked. Yes, that s the thing that there was all the fuss about. It made a great stir at the time. But I don't expect that it will happen again." "Why not?" Miss Lee asked. "When an attempt of that sort is made it is usually followed by another, some- times after the lapse of years. Any- body gelithig through that window could easily get the inane from its two nails and take out the paper," "Do you think so?" Littimer ask- ed, uneasily, "I em certain of it.

At the same time, I believe grate as firmly that there are many dairy cows bred for the specific pur- pose of milk and butter production through many generations that will produce (300 pounds of butter per year under mem favorable condi- tions as readily us 801110 other cows not having these inherited tetalen- ates w11 produre three hundred pourras. "While I do not wish to advocate the breeding of anything but the beet of dairy (0108, or to underes- timate 111 any way the importaatm 05 inherited tendencies, yet I 001 (15- 511(0)1 from the results of our work at our Experiment Stet in that there are thousands of choioo dairy cows that are not returning tthat they are not surrounded with heir owners a profit, for the reason the proper environment, including suitable feed, shelter and 101(00.370- 111011±, the cows purchased for our dairy head only two or three have l cost above $115 and many of them much -less.

The trouble with so many of the dairy farmers in our state is that they are accustomed to look upon and think of 0 cow as (1111(1- 01)1110, into which if you put a cer- tain amount of raw material you will get a certain amount of finished product, irrespective of the fact, that each and every cow is an individual with, certain peculiarities and tastes that must be studied and under- stood, and the most suitable raw material supplied in the 1»atter of 1 feed, not to mention the numerous other conditions, before the partieu- If you had asked the first five people on the Latimer Estate what they thought of the lord of the soil you would have lind a different an- swer from everyone, One woman would have said that a kinder and better man never llveci; her neigh- bor would have declared Lord Lit - timer to be as hard as the nether millstoue. Farmer George would rate him a jolly good fellow, and tell how he would sit in the kitchen over a. mug of ale; whilst, Farmer John swore at his landlord as a hard -fisted, grasping miser devoid of the bowels of compassion. At the and of an hour you would be utterly bewildered, not knowing what to believe, and prepared to set the whole village down as a lot of gossips who seemed to inincl every- thing but its own business. And, perhaps, Lord Littimer might come riding through on his big black horse, small, lithe, brown as /maho- gany, and with an eye piercing as a diamond drill. One day he looked almost boyishly young, there would he a smile on his tanned face. And then another day ha would he bent 111 the saddle, huddled up, wizened, an old, old neon, crushed with the weight of years and sorrow. In sooth he was a man of moods and contradictions, changeable as an April sky, and none the less quiet: - tempered and hard because he kaew that everybody was terribly afraid of him. And he had a tongue, too, a lashing, cutting tongue that burnt and blistered. Sometimes he would be quite meek and angry under the reproaches of the vicar, and yet the same day history records it that he got off his horse and administer- ed a soural trashing to the village Poacher. Sometimes he got the beat of the , view., and sometimes that worthy mat scored. They were good friends, these two, tholigh the vicar never swerved in his fealty to Lady Littimer, whose cause he always chanipioned. But nobody seemed to know anything about that dark scandal, They knew that there had boon a dreadful scene at the castle seven years before, and that Lady Littimer and her son had left never to returu. Lady Littimer WAS in 0, niadhouse somewhere, they said, and the son was a wanderer on the face of the earth. And 3V11011 Lord Litti- met died every penny of the proper- ty, the castle included, would go to her ladyship's nephew, Mr, Reginald ITenson. In spite of the great Maud that hung over the family i,ord Littimer did not seem to have changed, He was just a little more caustic than over, his tongue 0. little sharper, The Servants could baro told a dif- ferent story, a story of dark moods and days when the bitterness of the shadow of death Jay on their maa- ter. Few men could carry their grief better, and because LIttimer carried his grief so well he suffered tho more. Wo shall see what tho 1401TOW WEIS In time.

The fall pigs must be pushed for early gains, oe they will not grow nuch during the winter months, When the litters aro yarded sep- arately, they will grow faster than when several of different sizes are kept together.

More weight and less cough always mean that consumption is losing its influence over the system, For all stages of the disease Stott's Emulsion h a reliable help. &Tel for area Sample.

Phe following are extracts 1 - "It is needless to mention to you, nay Agnes, I am heart -broken in this place. (Drumlisha I arrived here quite safe about 6 p.m. I roust mention, Agnes, that I cried the whole way out, (Laughter.) You , know, Agnes, that I could live in a 1 wilderness and be happy as loneas I could have have you with me. But, dearest, it's something desperate on Inc to be separated from you, ITow- ever, it's not long, darling, we shall be apart, although, darling, while I OM writing this letter I am 'crying as much as when parting frorn you yesterday. I don't know when I am going to stop. Not, I suppose, until you are with Inc. "Well, darling, they are all glad to lace me in Druralisa. Mrs. Burbage wont so far as to kiss me o1'> my arrival last night. (Laughter. But that was not to be wondered at, as we are from the same townland and went to school together. "Also Father Keville.

That is our marriage, vweliiiitch is to come off before "I by myself am not in a position to carry out the wish of my heart -that is, to be married this 2310e1th, But, darling, it would be the wish of my heart that we could be mar- ried before Advent comes in. So now, Agnos, darling, I suppose at the very lowest it will take about 1310 to attain that object; so, dear- est, let me know by return if you will be able to give me that much. (Laughter.) Then darling, 100 will be one until '7,1(10111," His last letter was 'undated.
