The countess was calm, and she advanced deliberately toward him. "What do you want with me?" she asked. "You have announced the sentence of death that has been passed upon me." "I wish to question you." "To what purpose, since I am al- ready condemned1" "You have accomplices. I wish to know them. Traitors must be punished!' "When I know of what 1 am ac- cused, I will see whether it suits me to reply to you." "You are accused of having com- promised the success of our plans." "This vague reply will not an- swer. Be precise." "So be it. In the name of the Central Committee, I have forbid- den you to interest yourself in a Frenchman suspected of a theft on the banker Dorgeres. You paid no heed to this order. Not only have you charged another Frenchman with the recovery of M. de Carnoel, but have enlisted persons engaged in your service in this work,—sub- alterns whom wo had initiated in- to all our secrets and who have long worked for us. Your fencing -mas- ter, Kardilci, and your femme de ehambro, Justine, hale taken part in an intrigue, the object of which was to deliver a stranger who, to prove his own innocence, would not full to designate the guilty party." "He does not know them." "But he would know them if I let you live. Yon have sworn to restore him what he has lost, and you cannot reinstate him without denouncing us." "Without denouncing myself you mean. You have rightly guessed. I propose to recount to M. Dorger- es, to his daughter, the true his- tory of the theft. I shall tell them by whom it was committed and with what object. He will believe me, for I shall bring him an unanswer- able proof. I think fit to add that I shall not mention the names of any of those who urged me to it." "I have no longer faith in your discretion ; but I may ask why it' is that you turn against us after hav- ing so well served us." 'Because I choose to have no dealings with the murderers who have just blown up the Winter Pa- lace,' replied• the countess, look- ing fixedly at Villages. "Your scruples come rather late. When you took the vow to contend with us against tyranny, you were not ignorant that fire and sword wculd bo employed to destroy it." "I pictured to myself an insur- rection against the Russian govern- ment," replied the countess, proud - ly "I knew there had leen mur- derers among you, but I believed these to be isolated acts to which those who committed them bad been driven by despair.

ELK CITY, May 4. --With, the open- ing of navigation, which is now in full awing, the greatest of activity prevails at the various mines and prospects in this vicinity and the city is rapidly recovering from the recent fires. The district is likely to become an. other Cobalt and the veins run to depth with 'mime. Among the ship- pers and properties bagging oro are the Lucky Godfrey, the Borland. Thompson. the Devlin and the Moose Horn minas. The Moose Horn mine put in a new plant this spring and are now sinking a winze at the 125 -foot level on a vein which has shown values from the surface. In the midst of the mince to the McKenzie. a group of five properties on which work was begun. last Jan- uary. They have been fortunate from the start and soon hope to rank with the shippers. The engineer in charge, Mr. Harry McMaster, reports that the vein on location 046 of the company's group at a depth of 50 feet' continued stead- ily the whole distance and showed free silver all the way with the exception of four feet. Several hundred feet of stripping has already been done, re- sulting In the discovery of two ad- ditional veins, one of which is 7 in - (hes wide, cutting at an angle of six degrees. It is the intention to con- tinua this abaft to the 75 or 100 foot level, then drift to the McKenzie vein, P. S. Where the new 7 inch vein crosses. Mr. McMaster states that in .his opinion this week will result in the placing of the value of the mine beyond Question. The necessary builaings have now all been erected, including bunk house, cooking camp, manager's dwelling, blacksmith shop, powder house, and the necessary machinery is being in- stalled. A good wagon road has been built from the main road which par. allele the road from Elk Lake. The McKenzie company are in a very fortunate position, owning a group of five properties which have been thor- oughly tested. Six assays made from the veins on ubich the company are now working here shown results of from 400 ounces of silver up *as high 0e 15,000 ounces to the ton. This company is under good manage-, moat, and it is the opinion of the en- gineer in charge and those who have seen the property snot it should bo brought to the shipping stage 1n a very short time, 600 pounds of good are having been bagged by May 1, and the work in this regard being pushed ra- pidly from day to day.

Canadian A preciation Langham Hotel, London. Gentlemen,—I wish to express my appreciation of the 38 h.p. Daimler which you have delivered to me. Before ship- ping the ear to Canada I made a three weeks' trial of it., cov- ering some 1,200 miles. The car ran perfectly, and I never had the slightest trouble of any kind, and I think it quite lives up to the many claims you make for it. The silence, smooth- ness of running, and power of acceleration on hills is really remarkable. My petrol consumption was 16 miles to the gallon, includ- ing a great deal of driving in traffic. Tho tyres show no ap- preciable signs of wear, and I think it will prove light on tyres. I am really delighted with the car.—Yours sincerely, (Signed) C. A. BOONE, of Toronto, Canada.

But I doubt whether ray uncle will let us sea her." "I have foreseen that, and made arrangements for an interview with ycur cousin, I have written her that I was in possession of the en- tire. proof of M. de Carnoel's in- nueenee, and begged her to come immediately by the little deer on the Avenue de Friedland. After a brief interview, I will return with her myself to her father, and he must receive us." Maximo would have had more than one objection to urge, but it was now too late. He knew Alice; he kuew that she would catch at this last hope, weulcl find means of escape and hasten to the stranger who promised to restore to her the betrothed of her heart. He was roused from these reflections by the sound of a light step approaching through the shrubbery. Madame Yalta, absorbed in her reflections, seemed to hear nothing. Soon a white hand put aside the leaves, a head appeared between two ca- n:elia bushes, and Maxims rose, uttering a cry of surprise. He had recognized a face which shone an instant like a ray of sunlight, to be eclipsed almost immediately. "She!" he exclaimed. "What do you mean?" asked the countess, raising her head. "The woman of the Rink — the woman who delivered Carnoel!" Madame Yalta started. Evi- dently she was not expecting this visit, and found it inopportune. But she soon recovered herself, and calla: "Justine 1" The branches were put aside again, and the brunette with the golden complexion reappeared. She was beautiful as ever but had changed her toilette. Tlie skater of the Rink, the elegant lady of the opera was modestly clad as became a lady-in-waiting. The butterfly bad returned to a chrysalis. This enigmatical creature came forward deliberately and .appeared not at all surprised at seeing Max- imo, who, on his part, looked at bre in stupefaction. "What is the matter?" inquired Madame Yalta. "The person whom Madame the Countess was expecting has just arrived. "Where have you taken her " "Into Madame the Countess' boudoir." "Villages has net yet arrived?" "Not yet; but a box has been brought from him. Madame the Ceuntess will find it on the lacquer tcble in her sleeping chamber." "Very well. Leave us." Justine bowed and went out quiekly. "This girl has just informed me that Mlle. Dorgeres is here," said the countess. c'Do you wish to see her 1" "But—I do not know whether I ought," stammered the cousin. Yes. Better that you should be present at our interview. Come." "But—" • "What?" "The brunette—the accomplice of the thieves—she whom you call Justino—,r "Is my femme de ehambro," re - riled the countess, quietly. "Come, the moments are precious." ted cutting short any further explanations, slie rr;se to leave the conservatory. Maximo followed without a word. He was in a state of extreme agitation. "Iter femme de ()hombre," ho thought. "The creature who pilfer- ed mo of the bracelet is in heze ser- vice—like the gardener—like the fencing-master—lux] she has given inc to understand that all this pret- ty sob of people took part in the theft of the safe. Am I to suppose that the orders came from hoe?" They crossed, without oxchang- ir.g a word, a corner of the park, meeting with no one, and arrived before a door of the cottage that was unfamrnar to Maxima The Countess conducted him through corridors and stairways to tett large apartments en the first floor, Neither Justine nor the duenna wh,o had twice introduced Maxims, were there to receive thong. ]?receded by Madtl,me Yalta, he reached the loom in which he had seen her the day before in the great bedstead with pillars and canopies. "Mlle. 17orgeros is there," she said, pointing to the doorway of (lobelin tapestry, which eonecaled the entrance to the boudoir, "Do yen not think you would do well to speak to her first, and prepare her for what I have to say?" "No," replied Maximo. "She tFlnits I have taken sides against 1lolsert de Carpool, find would net, listen to me. She now believes only in you, and is distrustful of nue r' He was still speaking when' his eyes fell upon an object upon a Chinese lacquer cable. It was a box of peculiar shape, widened at the top and closed with a lid, "There, no doubt, is what Dr. Villages has sent you," he'said. Madame Yalta opened the strange coffer which was of fir wood, quite rough, and chow from it a bouquet of immortelles. "A singular gallantry," said Maxine The countess did not reply. She let fall the mournful flowers, and he saw that she turned pale. "I expected it," she said. "What does M. Villages mean by this ridiculous present?" "It signifies ray sentence of death." "Your sentence of death!" ex- claimed Maxime. "Yes; I am condemned." "Condemned by this miserable Villages 1" "By the Nihilists, of whom he is the chief. They accuse me of hav- ing betrayed them." 'You!" "1 have been allied to them. I deserve my fate." Maximo was about to ory out, but the duenna whom he had seen before, entered suddenly, went straight to her mistress, and spoke to her in a language he did not un- derstand. The conversation was very short. and the duenna went out on a motion from the countess. Turning toward Maximo, she said shortly: "Do not ask for explanations. The conversation you are about to hear will tell you all. Go' into the boudoir where Mlle Dorgeres is awaiting me, and beg her to listen with you. In a few moments she will have the proof that M. de Car - noel is innocent" "Who is it you are about to re- ceive?" "You will see—not a word more. Go in; it is better we should not he surprised together." "Swear to me that you are ex- posing yourself to no danger." "None at this moment. You need rot close the door, and by hiding behind the tapestry, may hear all that is said." "And if you should have need of insistence, I would be there," mur- mured Maxime. He felt that he loved, in spite of all, this strange woman who now rose against the Nihilists after hav- ing co-operated with their (lark dealings. It was time for him to disappear.

A grain of oats is made up of two maid parts; the outside or hull, and the inside or kernel. Another Dan'le conomolily applied to the kernel 10 the meat. It is the kernel that wo we mainly interested in, because this is the nourishing part of the grain. The chief use of the hull is to protect the tiny oat pliant with- in, and 'to preserve the stored -up food material for its future tree. As a food for stock, and as an article of human dint, oats take a High rank. Since the value of the grain depends so much upon the part which is of little use for food ct itsinners of oats in any form. whatever should be interested in the relationship existing betweei the hull and the meat. The oats it always grown from for its meats' tee hull is generally regarded as a nctessary evil by the stockman and the miller. The range of hull in vats is .from 20 to 48 per cent., 30 rer cent. is the average. Oats have the largest percentage of hull to kernel of any of our grains. learley comes next with an average of 15 per cent. The percentage of hull to meat depends largely upon the variety. For example the Jeanette oat generally averages 23 pounds of hull from every hundred pounds of grain, while the Banner gives thirty pounds of hull, and the Fifty Pound Black 40 pounds. This simply means that by purchasing cre hundred pounds of Jeanette cats the buyer gets seventeen pounds more of the most valuable part of the oat grain than he would get were he to purchase the same weight of Fifty Pound Black •-a gain surely worth oonsidera- ticn. The difference in the proportion of the two main parts of the oat grain accounts for the fact, ob- served by all feeders, that horses will often do as well on three pecks of one variety as on four pecks of another. As a rule, grains high in hull are such that the nutriment they do possess is not so felly ex- tracted by the animals. The rela- tive proportion of hull and meat ;n any oats can be determined rough- ly by removing the hull from fifteen 1,r twenty representative grains dna then comparing the amount of hull with the meat. Varieties also. may be compared in this way. Aside from the question of variety the two principal factors which in- fluence the proportion of the parts under consideration are: The time at which the oats were sown, and the time they are harvested. Late- , sown oats are usually high in hull,. • arks the same holds true of oats cut before maturity. Last, year a plot ',f oats cut in the milk stage ran 84 i per cent. hull, while an adjoining Iplot of the same variety which has been handled in exactly the same way, excepting that it had been ah - lowed to ripen perfectly before cut- ting, ran only 28 per cent. Any unfavorable condition of sell or season which tends to stunt the plant or retard the proper fill - i -g of the grain will also cause'a higher per cent of hull. From the force going it may appear that the ideal oat would be the hull -less one. " But you have noted that the hull serves to protect the future plant sof its supply of food material. It is claimed also that there -is a re- lationship between pereentago of. hull and strength of straw -a long percentage of hull generally going • with a fine, weak straw. This con - taction seems to be borne out in the ease of the Jeanette, but the heavy -hulled Fifty Pound Black is fe and to have straw which is soft and brittle. We may conclude that the most desirable oat, other things being equal, is the one with the lowest percentage of hull.—L. S. Klineht McDonald College, St. Anne Del Bellevue. — QIJALITY AND COST. There is this one striking differ- ence between the products of the farm and those of the manufactur- ing establishments. The manufac. tt:rer governs the price of the goods he has to sell by the cost of produc- tion. A cloth manufacturer, for example, will turn out several , classes of goods which be will sell sob several different prices and will snake the same profit from each of them. Why 1 Because there is a dJiorenco in the cost of production. For instance, he can afford to sell shoddy goods, for a .great deal loss than the genuine articles simply because the raw material in the one ease costs a great deal less 5Jio, it cos in the other, and he makes es much money in producing the ere as the other. It is quite different with the farmer. Go through he various products of the furor--livo stoeic, grain crops, dairy or fruit products.
