understand a little of what was
passing ilt Chris's mind.
"Would you mind going a little
more into details?" he suggested,
"So Henson is that sort. Well, I
didn't know, or ito had never had
my assistance in his little scheme,
Oh, of course, I have known him for

like a mask.
John Smith is a good name," he
said. "Can you suggest a better?"
"If you ask me to do so I can. I

There was just the .ghost of a
smile on Rifwlin's lips.
"There is a man of that name,"
he said, slowly, "who attained eon-
siderable notoriety in the States.

Chris met the speaker's eyes firm-

"In that case you can hardly be

mured. "If you drive him intoa

"So Reginald Benson bullies wo-
men," Rawlins said, after a long
pause. There was a queer smile on
his face; he appeared perfectly at his
ease. He did not look in the least
like a desperate criminal whom Chris
could have driven out of the country
by one word to the police. In his
perfectly -fitting grey suit he seemed
more like a lord of ancient acres
than anything else. "It is not a
nice thing to bully women,"
"Ieeginald Benson Mule it quite a

bitterly.
Rawlins pulled thoughtfully at his
cigarette.

Mild Chris,

"If you like to put it in that way,

"Then why did you go to Walen

agreed. I was leaving the Metr•opol

Metropole, and the next day I left.'
"And you diel alI that without

' I did, It was only a little con
sideration for an old confederate;"
"And suppose that confederate ha
played you false?"
Two tiny points 01 flame dance
in Rawlins's eyes,
"Menson wined never have dared,'
he said. "My mind was Vito eas
on that score."
"1 understand,"' Chris murmured
"And you kept the cigar -case?"
"Yes, I rather liked it. And
could afford a luxury of that kind
just then."
"Then why did you dispose of it
to Rutter's in Moreton Wells? And
why Moreton Wells?"
Rawlins laughed as he lighted a
fresh cigarette.
"I came to Moreton Wells knowing
that Henson was at Littimer Cas-
tle," he explained. "I went there to.

tunately I found him in great need
of money. i;.ltolnebod;y who had •pro-

Chris smiled. Sho had heard all
about Lady Littimer's adventure

plies.

TILING IN A DITCH: BED,
Two years ago the decided to lay a
tile drainin all old ditch bed, writes
a correspondent. The open ditch was
in the way and was carrying little
more water than would run through
a four -inch tile with .a good fall. To
get the tile down to the proper
depth (eve like to have them four
fent below tete surface) it was necos-
sary to put them a Foot or more be-
low tho bottom of the ditch.
The first step le tiling is to es-
tablish a grade, or, rather,• to run
a level. This may be done by get-
ting a surveyor, at a good deal of
trouble and cost for most localities
or by buying a leveling instrument,
which is still more costly; or by im-
provising a homemade ditch level,
which takes time and is not Very ac-
curate. But to get a good, accurate
level in an old ditch of this kind we
did not need any of these appliance-.
Such ditches contain water their en-
tire length, at some season of the
year .which is scarcely moving, and
hence practically level. In the spring
when our ditch was in this condition
we took some stakes, about five feet
long, sharpened them at one end and
marked them plainly with a line
just throe feet from the opposite end.
Beginning at the outlet of the drain,
these marked stakes were driven
down in the centre of the ditch, 100
feet apart, until the mark on the
stakes just touched the surface of
the water.' The tops of these stakes
were then at a water level, or if the
water was flowing slightly might
incline a little toward the outlet,
which would do no harm.
Nothing more was done lentil after
harvest, when we were ready to lay
the tiles. At this the ditch bed was
dray—no water or mud to bother—
Yet we had a water level to go by.
The next step was to note the con-
tour of the land with respect to the
height of the grade stakes and the
depth at which the outlet could be
placed, and decide upon the grade,
or amount of fall, In this case we
found we could secure two inches fall
to a hundred feet, and that the out-
let. could be placed six feet below the
top of
TFTW LOWER GRADE STARE.
We decided to have our line from
which to pleasure the grade just
five feet above the bottom of the
ditch for convenience in working in
the trench, hence this would bring it
one foot below the top of the .lower
grade stake. As the fall was two
inches to the hundred feet and the
stakes 100 feet apart the line would
be two inches higher at each succes-
sive stake, hence we measured down
from the top of the stakes 10, 8,
6, 4, etc., inches respectively, and
drew a line. These linos were just
live feet above • the bottom of the
trench to be dug,
Our next step was to drive four
*foot lath at each side of the grade
stakes on the banks of the ditch
about 8-3 feet apart and tack an-
other lath to them horizontally so
Its upper edge would be at the height
of the marks on the grade stakes.
The grade stakes were now removed
and a line stretched tightly over the
cross pieces. The trench was now
dug, the bottom being determined by
measuring clown from the line ossa-
siorially with a Tfve foot rod. If the
line is in the tvay it can be pushed
to one side over the top of the ver-
tical laths until needed.
The tools needed in digging an or-
dinary, trench aro a ditching spade,
a round pointed shovel, and a grad-
ing scoop which leaves a round
smooch bed for the tile. We find the
most expeditious method is to dig
down to about six inches of the bot-
tom with the spade and shovel; then
begin at the loner end and take
out tete last spade full; clean up the
crumbr with the shovel and use the
metal cigar-caso mounted - in dia-
monds. A friend of mine purchased
that eigarcase at Lockhart's. Mind
you, Reginald Henson knew all about
this. The same day Benson's tool,
1
,
Van Snook, purchased a similar ease
from Walen's-a ease really procured
for your approval -and later on in
the clay the case pasned from Van
Seeds to Henson, who dexterously
changed the 011000."
"Complex," Rawlins muttered.
"But I begin to see what is coming,
"The cases were u:hauged, and the
one from Walen's in due course be-
came Mr, Steel's. Now note where
Henson's diabolical cunning comes
In. The satire night Van Snack is
found half murdered in Mr. Steel's
house, and in his pocket is the re-
ceipt for the very cigar -case that
Mr, Steel claimed as his own pro -
party."
"Very awkward for Stool," . Raw-
lins said, thoughtfully,
"Of course it was. :And. why was
t done? So that we should be fere-
ed to come forward
0 and exonerate
Ile. Steel from blame, We should
have had to have told the whole
story,, and then Benson would have
learnt what steps we were taking to
get rid of hinm,"
Rawlins was quiet for some time.
Admiration for tite scheme was up-
permost in his mind, but thee° was
another thought that caused hien to
glance curiously at Chris..
"And that is- all you 'know?" ho
asked.
'Not quite,i' Chris replieel. "I

The tiles can then be easily laid

We find that most tiles are not
"square" at the end and can be
made to fit at the top by turning
until the tops touch, Then lay a

demand for chickens in Canada is
greatly in excess of the supply and
Great Britain is always clamoring
for more. That means a steady
market and good prices for chickens.
You cannot raise chickens success-
fully with a setting hen. She is wast-
ing time setting when she should be
laying. While sho is hatching and
brooding a few chickens she could be
laying five or six dozen eggs. `The
percentage of chickens she hatches is
much less than that produced by the

HEALTH
- OVEIREATII'tG,
The practice of consuming more
food than is required for the nutri-
tion of the body is a very old one.
In order to correct it, flippov:rates,
about four -hundred years Moro
Christ, advodated the ouilssion o1
breakfast, a ensto111 that has recent-
ly become popular In many places,
The harmfulness of overeating is
not so much in the increased burden
thrown' -upon the digestive organs as
in the prodoeteon of an excessive
amount of poisonous matter which
may become dangerous to life if re-
tained in the system, The poisons
are produced either 'by decomposition
of the undigested food or through
defective transformation within the
organs and tissues.
Most injurious are the products of
decomposing animal food: meat, eggs
and shellfish; and since the kidneys
are engaged more than other organs
in the removal of this class of pois-
ons, the first indication of serious
injury are often found in them.
Before permanent organic diseases
has been produced, however, thorn
are generally repeated evidences of
poisoning of the system in the form
of indigestion, headache, vertigo,
neuralgic • pains, rheumatism
or an indefinite sense of illnesgout,

of his food

relief. There may be, however, a
sudden alarming attack resembling 13
apoplexy, and even more Intel in its
result,
When an improvement of the health
is recognizable after an accidental or
experimental restriction of the diet,
it should be taken as an indication
that the mode of living has not been
altogether correct. But it is not al-
ways an easy matter to decide upon
the best means of correcting the
error. 'A. change of diet may fall of
the desired effect if it 'be: too abrupt
or too radical, and privation is not
advisable in all cases. 'A certain
bulkiness of the food is necessary
both to comfort and to.,g,Qcd diges-
tion, and in many oases an excess is
only a relative one. The abandon-
ment of curtain articles of food, with
more complete mastication of others,
is often better than a decrease of
the entire quantity consumed. Some-
times, indeed, the difficulty can be
overcome by the administration of
laxatives,- increased consumption of
water and more active exorcise.
These things enable the system to
utilize' more fully the food that is
eaten.
To determine intelligently the
cotuse of treatment in Most cases
Involves an investigation of the di-
gestive capability of the stomach
and an examination of the functional
integrity of other organs, it is gen-
erally more expedient,. therefore, to
submit the case- to the physician
than to be governed by abstract
rules or the experiences of other
people.—Youth's Companion.

who is laid aside from work. Act
gently, with promptitude and firm-

and noise. Be cheerful and buoyant
to a degree; never speak of the sym-
ptoms oil your patient In his pres-
ence, unless asked by the doctor.
Never contradict or argue with your
patient; don't relate previous bad
cases, Or give details of similar mal-
adies and experiences. Write down
tho doctor's orders at the time, and
record the tunes of medicines. Beef-
tea, medicines, or stimulants should
never be kept where the patient cat!
