It is not expected that Japan will again release her hold upon Pert Ar- thur in favor of Russia. llussia, however, will doubtless contend that though Port .Arthur has been wrest- ed from her, for the time being, she still "technically" holds the fortress.

"Well, I do and I don't," Chris explained. "I am anxious not to frighten the man. I want to get hien in my power, and I want to prove to him that it would be to his advantage for him to conte over to my side. Suppose Enid gave it out that the star had been stolen?

A few days after Henson de- parted so hurriedly from town the athlete Rembrandt disappeared from hferritt's rooms. Nobody knew any- thing about it; the, thing had van- ished, leaving no tract of the thief behind, Perhaps Merritt would have been less easy In Littimer's society had he known that the missing print was securely locked 01059 in the lat- ter's strong room. Still, had Mer- ritt been acquainted with the clas- sics, realm diem would like as not have boon his favorite motto.

Besides, in that case, he would know at once that I wanted to get to the bottom of his connection with Regin- ald Menson. Mr, Steel's plan may be bizarre, but it is safe."

Canada exports annually millions of chickens to the United States and Great Britain. The consumption of poultry in Canada is increasing rapidly and the poultry dealers complain that they cannot get enough poultry to fill their orders. One woman bought a No. 2 Chatham Incubator the first of March -she had five hatches by July first and had four hundred plump, sturdy chicks. In six months her Incubator had paid her $roo,o0, several times its cost. A Chatham Incubator should pay for itself each hatch. We have perfected an Incubator and brooder. We believe it is nolo absolutely the best in the world. We have sufficient capital behind us, and we are out for the entire business in incubators. We know that there is no other incubator that can approach the • ath m Incu r This is our proposition: To demonstrate our absolute confidence in the Chatham Incubator v:e will send one to you, freight prepaid, and you make your first payment in October, 19os. .The fact that we sell our Incubators in this manner guarantees them to the fullest extent, Thirty days' trial is a delusion and a snare. If you have good luck you may get off one hatch in that time, and even then you are uncertain, and if you reject the machine you will have to pay the freight both ways. But with us you send in your order and we ship the machine prepaid. When it arrives, if it seems all right, start your hatch, and we will give you until October, 19os, before you have to pay a cent in cash. We positively guarantee that the machine is a good hatcher. Every machine should sell a dozen, and we will, on no account, allow a machine that is defective to remain in any neighborhood.
