Frank Littimer needed no further invitation. It was quiet and secluded there, and nobody could possibly see them. With a little sigh Chris felt her lover's arms about her and bis kisses warm on her lips. The clever, .brilliant girl had disappeared; a Pretty, timid creature stood in her place for the time. For the moment Frank Littimer could do no more than gaze into her eyes with rapture and amazement. There was plenty of time for explanations. "Let us go into the arbor," Frank suggested. "No, I am not going to release your hand for a moment, If I do you will fly away again. Chris, dear Chris, why did you serve me so?" "It was absolutely necessary," Cliris replied. ''It was necessary to deceive Reginald. Henson. Silt it was bard •work the other night." "You mean when I carne here • . and--" "Tried to steal the Rembrandt. Oh, you needn't explain. I know that you had, to come. And we have Henson in our power at last." "I am afraid that is too good to be trlto. But toll nee everythiug from the beginning. I am as dazed and confusedas a tired man rousted out of a sound sleep." Chris proceeded to explain from the beginning of all things. It was an exceedingly interesting and exciting narrative to Frank Littimer, and he followed it carefully. Ile would have remained there all day listening to the music of Chris's voice and look- ing into her eyes. He had come there miserable and downcast to ask a question, and behold he had sud- denly found all the joy and sweetness of existence. "And so you have accomplished all this?" he said, at length. "What a glorious adventure it must have been, and how clever you are! So is Mr. David Steel. Many a time I have tried to break through the shackles, time Miss Lee for the present,"fromshe said. "My task is a long way being finished yet, Lord Littimer, you are not going to send ]!'rank away?" Littinter looked undecided. "I don't know," he said. "Frank, I have heard a great deal to -day to cause me to think that I might have clone you a grave injustice. And yet ain not sure. ]n any case, it would be bad policy for you to remain here. If the news came to the ears of Reginald Reason it might upset Miss Machiae,elli's plans." "That had not occulted to me for the momont," Chris exclaimed. "On the whole, Frank had better not stay. But I should dearly like to see you two shake hands." Frank Littimer made an involun- tary gesture, and then he drow back. "I'd I'd rather not," he said. "At least, not until my character has been fully vindicated. Heaven knows I have suffered enough for a boyish indiscretion." "And you have youth on your side," Llttimer said, gravely, "Whereas I—" "I know, I know. It has been ter- rible all round, I took those letters of poor Claire's away because they were sacred property, and for no eye but mine—" "No eye hut yours saw them. I was going to send them back again. I wish I had." "Aye, so do I. I took them and destroyed them. But I take Heaven to witness that I touched nothing else besides. If it was tho last word I over uttered—what is that fellow doing here in that garb? It Is one of Henson's most disreputable tools." Merritt was coming across the ter- race. He paused suspiciously as he caught sight of Frank, but Chris, with a friendly wave of her hand, encouraged him to come on. "It is all part of the game," she said. "I sent for our friend Merritt, but when I did so I had no idea that Frank would be present. Since .but Reginald has always been too you are here you aright just as well strong for me." stay and hear a little more of the "Well, he's shot Ms bolt, now," strange doings of Reginald Henson.

"DO you mean to say he doesn't know who you are?" he asiced. "My dear boy, he hasn't the faint- est idea. Neither had you the faint- est idea when I made you a prison- er the other night. But he will know soon."frank "God grant that he may," said, fervently. He bent over and pressed his lips passionately to those of Chris. When ho looked up again Lord Littimer was standing before the arbor, wear- ing his most cynical expression. He does know," be said. "My clear young lady, you need not move. The expression of sweet con- fusion on your face is infinitely pleasing. I did not imagine that one so perfectly self-possessed could look like that. I't gives me quite a nice sense of superiority. And you, sir?" The last words were uttered a lit- tle sternly. Frank had risen. His fare was pale, his manner resolute and respectful. I came here to ask Miss Lee a question, sir, not knowing, of course, who she was." "And she betrayed herself, eft?" "I am sorry if I have 'lone so," Chris said, "but I should not leave done so unless I had been taken by surprise, It was so hot that I had taken off. my glasses and put my hair up. Then Frank came up and surprised me." Yoe have grown an exceedingly pretty girl, Chris," Littimer said, critically. "Of course, I recognise you now, You are nicer -looking than Miss Lee," Chris put her glasses on and rolled her hair down resolutely. "You will be good enough to un- derstand that I am going to con - Just for the moment, the impulse to shuffle was upon hire - "If I say nothing, then I can't do any harm," be remarked, sapiently. "Best, on the whole, for no to keep my tongue between my teeth," "Mr, Henson is a dangerous man to cross," Chris suggested. 'elle la that,'' Merritt agreed, "You don't know him as 1 do." Chris conceded the point, though she had per own views on that mat. ter. Lord Littimer had seated him- self on the broad stone bench along the terrace, whence bo was watching the scene with the greatest zest and interest, "You imagine Mr. Henson to be a friend of yours?" Chris asked. Merritt nodded and grinned. So long as ho was useful to Henson he was fairly safe. "Mr. Merritt," Chris asked, sud- denly, "have you ever heard of Reu- ben Taylor?" Tho effect of the question was elec- trical. Merritt's square jaw dropped with a click, there was fear in the furtive eyes that ho cast around hint, "I road all about Reuben Taylor In one of our very smart papers late- ly," Chris went cm. "It appears that Mr. Taylor is a person who no- body seems to have seen, tut who from time to time does a vast ser- vice. to the community at large. He is not exactly: a philanthropist, for he is well rewarded fur his labors both by the police and his clients. Suppose Mr. Merritt here had clone some wrong." "A great effort of imagination,," Littimer nturmurecl, gently. "Heed done something wrong and an enemy or quondam friend wants to 'put him away.' T believe that is the correct expression. In that case he does not go to the police himself, because he is usually of a modest and retiring disposition. No, he us- ually puts down a few particulars in the way of a letter and sends it to Reuben Taylor under cover at a cer- tain address. Is not that quite cor- rect, Mr. Merritt' "Right,'" Merritt said, hoarsely. "Sonne day we shall, find out who Taylor is, ancl—" "Never mind that. Do you know that the night before your friend Mr. Henson left the Castle he placed in the post -bag a letter addressed to Mr. Reuben Taylor? In view of what I read recently in the paper alluded to the name struck me as strange. Now, Mr. Merritt, is it possible that letter had anything to do with you?" Merritt did not appear to hear the question. His eyes were fixed oet space; there was a sanguine clenching. of his fists as if they had been about the throats of a foe. "If I had hint here," he murmured. "If I only had him here! He's given me away, After all that 1' have done for hips he's given nee away." His listeners said nothing; they fully appreciated the situation. Mer- ritt's presence at the Castle was both dangerous and hazardous for Hen- son. "If you went away to -day you might be safe?" Cliris suggested. "Aye, I might," Merritt said, wieh a cunning grin in his eyes. "If I had a hundred pounds." Chris glanced significantly at Litti- mer, who noddele and took up the parable. "You shall have the money'," he said. "And you. shall go as soon as you have answered Miss Lee's questions." Merritt proclaimed himself eager to say anything, But Merritt's informa- tion proved to be a great deal less than she had anticipated. "I stole that picture," Merritt con- fessed. onfessed. "I was brought clown here on plumose. Henson sent to London and said he had a job for me. It was to get a picture from Dr. Bell. 1 didn't rile any questions, but set to work at once." "Did you know what the Picture was?" Chris asked, "Blees you, yes; ie was a Rem- brandt engraving. Why, it was I who in the first place stole the first Rembrandt from his lordship yonder, in Amsterdam. I got into his lord- ship's sitting-r'uom by climbing down a spout, and I took the picture." "But the other belonged to ` Van Sneck," said 011113 "It did; and Van Sneak bad to leave Amsterdam hurriedly, being wanted by the police. Henson told me that Van Sneak had a second copy of `Tho Crimson Blind,' and I had to burgle that as well; and I had to get into Dr. Bell's room and put the second copy in his portmanteau, Why? Ask somebody wiser than me. It was all some deep game of Hera son's, only you may be pretty sure he didn't tell me what the game was. I got my money and ret'ai'ned. to Landon and till pretty roam I saw no more of Henson." "But you, carpe info the game again," said Littimer. "Quite lately, your lordship. I went down to Brighton. 1 was told as hell had got hold of the second Rembrandt owing to Henson's care- lessness and that he was pretty care fain to bring it hero. aTe diel bring it here, and I tried to stop him on thinzwzseessta ON THE FARM.`4 113 a known that I am not the clever lady burglar he takes me for." Merritt came up doggedly. Evi- dently the presence of Frank Litti- mer disturbed him. Chris motioned him to a seat, quite gaily. "You are very punctual," she said. "I told you I wanted you to give Lord Littimer and myself a little advice and assistance. In the first place wo want to know where that gun-metal diamond -mounted cigar - case, at present for sale in Rutter's window, came from. We want to know how it gat there and who sold it to Rutter's people. Also we want to know why Van Sneck purchased a siu'iltu• cigar -case from Walen's of Brighton," Merritt's heavy jaw dropped, his face turned a dull ,yellow. He look- ed round helplessly for some means of escape, and then relinquished the idea with a sigh, "Done," he said. "Clear done. And by a woman, tool A smart woman, I admit, but a woman all the same. And yet why didn't you—" Merritt paused, lost in the contem- plation of a problem beyond his in- tellectual strength. "You have nothing to fear," Chris said, with a smile. 'Tell us .all you know and conceal nothing, and you will be free when we have done with you." Merritt wiped his dry lips with the back of his hand, "I come peaceable," he said hoarse- ly-, "And I'm going to tell y0it all about it." CHAPTEI, XLVII.

From this thorn results a largo amount of skim milk, which is utilized in the feeding of pigs. Last winter parLiculaar atone tion was given to determining the money value of skim milk in pork production. This is an especially timely, topic, inasmuch as large amounts of skim, milk ore now used in many dairy districts in the manu- facture of casein and other products of a similar nature. When skim milk is used for such purposes, the net return to the producer seldom rises above 10 cents per 100 pounds and, as a value considerably above this is assigned to skim milk for feeding purposes, it seemed worth while to make an actual trial to determine its value for feeding. One reason frequently advanced by farmers for not using skim milk for feeding purposes is, that in order to be most economically utilized, a considerable amount of high-priced food must be purchased to he fed in donnection with the milk. Our es perltnents were planned with the idea of using the largest amount of milk with the smallest amount of expensive concentrated foods. The pigs, 15 in number, were farrowed in August and September, and ran with 111e1r dams until about December 1. They were the weaned and separated into six lots of from seven to 1.2 pigs each, according to the size of the pens which were available. There was no setectiolt practiced and the 5i$ pigs included every pigproduced from nine brood sows. They were high grade Cheshires with a slight dash of Chester White. The pens were on- ly comfortable and the temperature went below the freezing point nearly, every night during the coarse of L.,e experhmont. The pigs were crowded into RATHER CLOSE QUARTERS.

However the greatest aver- age gain was with skim milk and corn meal alone, from which it is clear that corn meal Is a perfectly satisfactory single grain to be fed in connedtion with skim milk. The experiments also showed that the proportion of skim milk can be in- creased economically above the ratio of three pounds milk to one pound grain, as is usually recommended, thus lessening the amount of grain food that must be pureltasorl; that weanling pigs, in close quarters dur- ing cold weather, dao be made to gale a pound of live weight per 'clay for three months; and that slim milk was worth about 1.5 cents per hun- dred to feed to pigs up to a weight of 125 pounds, GROWING EARLY POTATOES. each pig having at the beginning as nearly as possible 14 square feet of floor space. The feeding was begun December 5 and extended over 98 days. Two lots were fed skim milk and corn ureal only; two lots skim milk, corn Meal, and gluten feed, mixed half and half, by weight; and the other two lots skim milk, corn uncal and wheat middlings, mixed hall and half by weight. They were fed twice a day, morning and evening. The gralu was put dry into the feed troughs and the milk poured uponi -it. - in pen No. 1. the pigs consumed 3.4mantels milk 1o1' each pound corn meal and ramie an average gain per pig per day of 1,01 pounds; in pert No. 3, where the sante kinds 01 feed were used, but in the proportion of 8.6 pounds milk to one pound corn meal, the average gain per pig per day, was only 0.96 pounds.

In Pen No. 4 corn meal and wheat middlings wore used in the proportion of 4.8 pounds nitik to ono pound grain with a gain of 0.89 pounds, while in pen six, with the sante feed, easing 5 pounds of milk to one of grain, the gain' was 1.02 pounds.
