We were a cheerful party of three the aged producer of miracles in ivory, the as yet unidentified chauf- feur, and rice Ferris, Esquire, at- torney and counsellor at law. Not a wordhad any of us uttered since my guide h• e had. threatened ate d to bidr e ge ne n good - 'by and leave me when I faltered at the automobile door before entering. So when he broke the long silence by Addressing the shapeless driver, and the latter grunted an inarticulate re- ply, I jerked out of a gloomy reverie with a start to listen. Nothing more Was said; but I knew that the driver anyhow was not Chinese, and this, for some cause, afforded me a grain of comfort. Next the machine began to slow down; then it stopped altogether. The motor was killed, and a dead silence rushed down upon us out of the night that was like the smothering folds of a velvet mantle. The old Chinaman was craning this way and that, as if trying to make out something that lay beyond the sharply defined limits of the head- lights' area of illumination. Another subdued curt utterance from him, and the lights were switched off• And then I, too, for the first time in I don't know how many minutes, again took note of my surroundings. It was the season of the new noon, which, of course, had set hours ago; but the night 'woe one of those trans- parent, star -lit marvels that are com- mon to California's dry atmosphere, and the landscape lay disclosed in every direction like a vast relief map set in luminous black crystal. Larger objects not in absolute shadow, even when at a distance, could be descried with surprising distinctness, But by and by, I perceived that the broken nature of the ground, a clump of agave or Spanish bayonet here and there, a scattered growth of chapparal and poison -oak, an isolated live -oak or outcropping of rock, made of the whole region a checkerboard of sepia splotches where nothing but light it- self could have been visible to us. One detail, however, impressed me im- mediately: we were no longer upon the highway, but upon a dirt road, and no building of any sort was to be seen. Suddenly the Chinaman leaped to his feet and peered backward, the way we had come. I knew what had start- led him. I too had been seneible of the cessation of a faint sound; a sound so thin, so diminished by dis- tance, that only its abrupt discontinu- ance made it noticeable. But I had heard and recognized its nature. Somewhere, back on the road over which we had come, beyond the range of eyesight or in one of the areas of utter darkness, another automo- bile had halted, even as ours had. Then right ahead of us, perhaps a hundred yards, I caught a tiny spark of light. It gleamed a second, like a firefly, then vanished. The chauffeur nudged the Chinaman, who was still standing and looking with fixed at- tention toward the rear. "Hey, John," he growled, "the light flashed again—if that's what you were trying to see." From which I gathered that it had flashed before, probably had been the cause of our stopping. The Chinaman now opened the door! and climbed out upon the road. He: went ahead at a trot and presently was swallowed by the gloom where i the light had shone. I had collected a sense of my sur- roundings, and the instant we stopped became conscious of a tension, an' acute feeling of apprehension, as if something had gone amiss that could not be accounted for, or else some -I thing unexpected and equally inex-: plicable was threatening; some dan-' her lurking off there in the dark, that) ad not yet revealed itself, but which: menaced the successful outcome of. this midnight adventure. I found my- self rll at once keyed high with an -1 ticipation, and I was correspondingly, alert, my receptive faculties keen to record the first premonitory impulse. The silent chauffeur alone appeared. to be unmoved and unconcerned. i Yet what ensued during the spacej of the next two or three seconds was) quite as startling, exciting and con- fusing as if I had been taken alto -1 gather unawares. All at once the, chauffeur twisted round toward me1 I and whispered a terse command. "Not a word—not a sound from ypu—if you want to get out of this alive!" Now he was kneeling upon his seat while I sat staring at him in silent stupefaction. Simultaneously with the rapidly uttered words he snatched at the bundle off rugs, which shot up from the floor to meet him. A powerful tug at my feet nearly jerked me from my seat, and when I instinctively tried to move farther ' away from this alarming, suddenly developed Centre of violence I dis- covered that my feet not only were bound together, but were made fast to something animate that was tugging away at them in a fashion that made inc cling to the top supports for dedeare. Two swift, thudding blows the I driver struck with some short instru- ment. A hollow groan issued from the formless heap of rugs, which at once sank back to the tonneau floor. The tugging at my feet ceased. Hest- !ily the driver rearranged the rugs, and again adjuring me to silence, re- sumed his place at the steering-whee and his soundless, motionless attitude But caught as I was in such a thrilling situation, I was not to be 1 silenced, though I did follow the !other's example to the extent of not raising my voice. "The devil!" 3 gasped. "My feet are tied—caught in some sort of snare." This intelligence apparently was an unwelcome surprise to my companion —for no reason that I could put into I words I was accepting him as an ally —for he exclaimed profanely under his breath. He passed an open pocket knife across his shoulder to me. "Cut the rope," he whispered with- out turning his head. But for Heav- en's sake, act as if you weren't wise to anything that's happening. You're jfast to that Chink on the floor that I ) just slugged, Remember—don't let Ion that you're loose. Quick, nowl" I dove and found the cord. A noose I had been laid about my ankles in such a way that my first movement drew it taut, This was severed in a jiffy. I eyed the bundle of rugs askance and moved farther away from it. "Got a gat?—a gun?" the fellow now flung at me. "You may need it." I assured him that I had, at the same time transferring the weapon to my overcoat pocket. Again, and quite irrelevantly, he swore under his breath. "The dirty Chinks! They've found out in some way that we're being trailed. I'm afraid everything's off unless we can find their hole. It can't be far away. Keep your gun handy, but don't use it unless you have to. Just listen at 'em!" His tone was expressive of profound disgust. Heaven knows that the meaning of all this was unintelligible to me; but it was clear enough that danger in some guise was imminent and that I was expected to be prepared to meet it. If my enemies' plans were mis- carrying, the perplexing question ran in my mind, were not my own plans, or any that circumstance might mature for me, being correspondingly advanced? The man on the front seat quickly disabused me of this idea the instant I voiced it. Said he: "Our one best bet was to take ad- vantage of the way old Lao played into our hands—Keep still! Listen!" He broke off abruptly. While events were piling up with. such bewildering rapidity in the auto- mobile, something manifestly had gone wrong off there in the darkness where the Chinaman had disappeared. I could hear voices gabbling excited- ly in the high-pitched singsong of the Chinese, although they did seem to be trying to repress their agitation. f•Iow do you know they've found out something?" I asked. "Do you mean to say you understand what they're talking about?" "Yep; that's why I'm here"—an an- swer that only deepened my mystifica- tion. "Quiet! Here they come!" 1 saw perhaps a half -score shadows rushing toward us. Next instant the old ivory carver was standing upon the running -board and addressing rue. The others crowded round the car, "You get out dig place," he said eu rtly. This impertinence served to crystal- ize all my uncertainties. "I do—not," I retorted,. my hand 1 N EAL MOO When your head ie dell and heavy, your ttmguo furred, and you feel done -up and ;;end for nothing, without knowing what i, really the matter with you, probably all that 1, needed to restore you to health and vigour i3 a few doses of a reliable POR THE digestive tonic and stomachic rem.

I%loatreal closing upon the pistol grip, "nor any other, unless you have something better to show me than this gang of cutthroats." In his eagerness the old rogue laid a skinny claw upon my arm nearest him and gave it an impatient tug. "You hully, you," he snarled. "I no wait. His barefaced impudence was too much. I jerked the arm free and aim- ed a smashing blow at him. But he avoided it. He leaped nimbly down and yelled something that seemed to be the signal for bedlam to break loose. Simultaneously, the motor started with a splutter, all the lights flashed forth, the car leaped forward, and I was struggling with four yellow fiends who had swarmed into the tonneau without pausing to open doors. But I had my pistol out, and though quar- ters were too close for me to shoot without endangering the only person upon whom I could reasonably count as a friend in this crisis, it proved to be a handy weapon when wielded with the exuberance with which I laid about me. In the same second I heard the chaf- feur's revolver crack three times. Then quite as abruptly as it began my own struggle ended. The car had turned off the road and was making a wild detour across the rough, broken, stony ground with complete and reckless disregard for any and all obstacles. We in the ton- neau were being hurled and catapulted furiously this way and that like so many seeds in a dry, wind-blown pod. I made a final desperate effort to fling the last of my assailants from me, but a violent lurch brought us to the floor together in a heap. CHAPTER XXIV. I am piecing out the details of this part of my narrative with what I learned afterwards; my own imme- diate concerns were much too pressing and exacting for me to think of what was happening around me, much less have an eye for it. Anyway, no mere verbal description, however accurate and faithful it may be, can reproduce the thrill of those wild, tense seconds. Since then I have pointed out the route our ear took on that memorable night to experienced drivers; not one of them would risk his neck trying to follow it at the slowest possible gait and by daylight. And not one of them believed that 1 had gone over it at night at high speed, coming out at the cried with a perfect score! And I would not voluntarily repeat the performance. It was, in all truth, only by a pro- digy of manipulation that the car was brought back into the road again, but now facing in the direction opposite to the way we originally had been go- ing. As the brilliant beams from the o headlight swung swiftly round, a flee - sling /orals ote the ground, tut bee` fore he had time to explain I saw and libiderstoo , J� e queues of the two unfortunates iuid een pae eet in ound a spoke of one of t to wheels and the ends tied to. gether. The eeptives all at once fell quiet, one regarding Strtlher with a malign - pet, murderous look, while the other im�tasatvely ignored our presence.

My regard, however, had again wandered to the stranger who sat so unconcernedly upon his unusual seat calmly puffing away at his pipe, and obviously ruminating; but at this juncture the chauffeur of our own ear joined Struber and me, and I had my first distinguishing view of him. (To be continued.) WORK OF SWISS RED CROSS. How Prisoners Are Exchanged Be- tween France and Germany. Madam Bohny, the wife of Col. Bohny, Physician in Chief to the Swiss Red Cross, has written the following account of the manner in which total- ly incapacitated prisoners of war are exchanged between France and Ger- many, by way of Switzerland. In one period of two weeks the number of those thus repatriated amounted to over 9,000. The selection of prisoners to be exchanged was made at Constance on the German frontier, and at Lyon by two doctors belonging to the Swiss Army Medical Corps. The Swiss Red Cross organized two hospital trains, one at each point, to carry the wound- ed released by the medical examina- tion. T'he personnel of each train was composed of a doctor major, in com- plete command of the train; a doctor captain for medical services exclu- sively, and a secretary, whose task was to draw up an accurate list of the wounded. The feminine person- nel was composed of a nurse in each carriage, or fifteen to every train, un- der the supervision of a Red Cross matron, who had complete charge of the equipment of the train and the distribution of the presents received at the railway stations, Meals were arranged for in the fol- lowing manner: The French received coffee and white bread at Zurich and warm milk at Geneva. The Germans received supper at Geneva and break- fast at Zurich. Our train was overflowing. No less than 320 severely wounded distributed in 15. cars. Amongst them were mad- men, tuberculous sufferers, and many sick whose lives were in hourly dan- ger. The good nurses had certainly work in abundance. As soon as we had crossed the German frontier into Switzerland we were overwhelmed with ovations. A veritable cyclone of gifts fell on our train from station to station. Soon our carriages were transformed into moving gardens, fragrant with flowers. All' along the i way enthusiastic crowds acclaimed ns; even in stations where the train did not stop. Only those provided with a card off admission frcm the State Department, had the right to enter the train. This privilege was enjoyed principally by members of the various diplomatic; bodies and by the Swiss Red Cross.) These visitors made themselves useful by distributing gifts and speaking' words of consolation to the wounded.; After Ieaving Geneva the wounded; received at Beliegards the first wel-I ome from their compatriots. To the straits of the Marselllaise the train ing Chinaman was outlined for the fraction of a second, and the remark- able man at the wheel took a pot shot at him; with what result the dark- ness that instantly encompassed the h target concealed; The lights of another automobile were now visible, It had arrived and t e halted upon the very spot where we had paused, and in a moment I real-' ized that it too must have been a tem -1 porary storm -centre of turbulence and excitement. It must have plung-; drew slowly into the railway station,: which was sumptuously decorated, as on great festival days. The guard 1 presented arms. Ilandkerchiefs and Cts were waved. All voices were mingled in a thunder of patriotic wol- ome. It is impossible to describe the re -1 ception which we received at Lyon.. An innumerable assemblage,—officers' 1 in resplendent uniforms, high funs- tionnaries of category, numerous ladies of the French Red Cross in ele. gant white costumes, the richly de- corated station, all formed a setting of extraordinary brilliance and mag- nificence. As soon as the train was emptied of French prisoners of war, it was filled with Germans and proceeded on its way to Switzerland. Every night from station to station were renewed the joyous demonstrations above men- tioned, as well as a rain of gifte of every variety, During all these journ- ies to and fro, animated by an en- thusiastic feeling of charity, the in- habitants of the dietricts through which the train passed flocked to the railway station at no matter what hour of night. Thus journeyed for three weeks from Constance to Lyon and from Ly- on to Constance a whole series of trains, exhibiting always the same spectacle and giving rise to sympathy, the same demonstrations and the same heartfelt welcome, but also affording always the snore spectacle of the same misery, of maimed unfortunates, gal- vanized into a momentary life, by the joy of seeing their native land again. Once, during this period of loge - rims exchanges, two trains stopped or a moment an opposite tracks in e middle of tine night. Heads lean - d out of windows. Flowers were Town from one train to the other, he one train sang the Marscilleise, e other Deutschland cher Alles, hap the wheels moved and the trains simmered in the darkness, ed right into the moist of the rascals, we left behind. A man with hair and mustache as grizzled as a badger, with one arm iu a sling and n perfectly. contented expression irradiating his counten- ance, was sitting upon a Chinaman who lay face downward in the sand, anti calmly puffing a short briar pipe,1 In another figure, to my amaze- ment, I recognized Stt•uber. He was standing over two other Chinaman who lay sprawled in the road at one, side of the second automobile, and, who were going through a series of extraordinary gymnastics. The do-' tective, with derby on the back of hist head and hands upon hips, stood pant- ing and surveying this strange spec- tacle with undisguised delight, As we stopped close to them, the man seated upon the Chinaman nod- ded and grinned amiably. "We bagged three," he announced in a matter-of-fact voice. "How many'cl you get?" Then to the pro- strate creature beneath him, who had developed fresh signs of protest; he added a curt word or two in Chinese, accompanying it with a cuff upon the head that had an immediate (ittiet- ing effect. I gave the man a sharp look, for a white man speaking the Chinese lap. +:uago was strange to me, and here was my second experience of the kind h mnight, Strube'. drew my attention. th "Coma esta, usted ?" he hailed me n Spanish.

Sheep are very dainty, Keep the feed troughs clean. Tho legumes gather nitrogen from the air for the building up of the soil. Prevent waste and make every pound of feed bring the best results possible, Before calving, the cow's food should be reduced in quantity and of a laxative nature. Fat hens produce fewer eggs and at the same time a large percentage of them are infertile. Carrots and beets steep better if a tittle dry sand is put over them. This prevents drying out. Discard the cow which has failed at the end of the year to pay market price for all the feed she has con- sumed. Exercise is an important factor in keeping hens healthy and in laying condition. Scatter all grains in deep litter. Better have a stable too cool from too many cracks than too close and no fresh air at all, This has proven true in poultry culture. The production of milk is a great draft on a cow's vitality and she needs to be a rugged animal to endure the strain for a succession of seasons. Dock the lambs at a week or ten days old. A block, a sharp hatchet, a whack, and it's done. Pull the skin towards the lamb before giving the whack. In behalf of every living thing, your stock and your family, we plead for a good supply of fresh air, the staff of life, It is free. Make use of it in the barn, the home, day and night. The mill' of cows, goats, mares and camels, is used as an article of food consumption, but in the economy of production cows stand at the head of the list of milk -producing animals. At the Ohio station, silage pro- duced milk for 68 cents per 100 pounds and butter fat at thirteen cents per pound. The grain ration produced mill' at $1.05 per 100 pounds and butter fat for 22 cents a pound. Have little bedding in the pen at farrowing. Wait until the pigs get large enough to take care of them- selves before bedding heavil the pen dry and clean and keep it thus. Make liberal use of the well- known disinfectants. Prevention is cheaper than cure. Caring for the Colt in 'Winter. As the pastures dry up and winter approaches, the question of how to care for the growing colt through the winter confronts the farmer. Many colts will be taken from pasture with a goodly store of fat only to be turn- ed out to a straw pile for feed and shelter, and will come out next spring Ighter in weight than they are in the fall. On the other hand, not a few colts may he ruined by heavy feeding n stalls, where they cannot take ex- ercise, 1 The ideal shelter for colts is a tightly, built shed, open to the south, where the animals may go in and out at their own pleasure, and where they may have the run of a good big field for exercise. Idle farm horses can best be sheltered in the same way . A. dry bed and protection from cold winds and rain is all that is needed. Two parte of oats (preferably crushed) and one part of bran, makes a very suitable feed for growing colts. In cold weather a Iittle corn may be added not to exceed 25 per cent, of the ration.. If clover or alfalfa is used as half of the roughage ration, no oil meal will be needed, but if the rough- age .consists of wild hay or corn stover, about eight per cent. of oil meal should be added to the grain ration, Where oats are high in price and barley Is plentiful, a ration of crushed barley 60 percent., bran 30 per cent,, and oil meal ten per cent., should give good results. Sunflowers for Poultry. This feed for chickens is not valued as it should be. It is easily grown and very productive of seed. In the winter and spring it increases laying to a marked degree. One- fourth of an acre will give feed for a large flock the season through. Some plant the Mammoth Russian variety.. It will grow even under great neglect, and a little attention makes it very productive. The seed finds a ready market i the States at five or six cents a pound for use by poultry men. The plant thrives best on sandy soil, and the cultivation is similar to that of corn. Birds begin picking out the seed before ripe. On a small scale one can prevent this by covering the heads with mosquito netting. When the seeds begin to drop, the head should be cut and hung in a dry place; never put in a heap after cut- ting. , pure air of the alfalfa, clover or blue- grass fields will tone up the system so that disease is not readily contracted. Yet with the best of care and feed new forms of disease appear to baffle us, and when it comes, it is not safe to daily with it, especially if it seems infectious. Letting sick hogs have the run of the herd is sure to spread disease, therefore, it is a safe rule to lose no time in removing the first sick hog to some remote lot where it can not infect the herd as its disease pro- gresses. n ' Keeps Hogs Well.. P Less grain, more asture 'less Con- finement and more exercise in the A Well -Braced Gate. Nothing more surely gives a farm a rundown appearance than sagging, poorly constructed gates. A little more care when building the gate will save time, money and labor, and greatly improve the looks of the place. ozogoriogogueogoogamuortoonam 40104t VOlf Does Pain Interfere?

"There le scarcely a singIa depart Ment of public life," Mr. Runciman said, "about which we have not been thinking what Nicely will happen when the war is over and how best to pre: pare for future contingencies.

Alien Ownership. After enumerating the number of subjects which the Board of Trade was specially investigating, among them being the ownership of real pro- perty by aliene, Mr, Runciman in-. etanced the danger of such ownership, stating that he knew of one coal field in the Micilande owned by Germans and trading under an English titld, which now was idle, and that the Bri- tish were prevented from exploiting the coal field. He added: "That can- not continue after the war. The Board is taking great care to allow no German to stand in its way in Eng- land. We are not going to be espe- dally tender to the Germans." Control of Oil Fields. Mr. Runciman specially referred to the German control of ell fields in Europe, remarking that his raw ma- terial was of such vital interest to Great Britain that the Board was tak- ing special steps to see how much of the German control of this product could be transferred to Great Britain, so that the latter's interests would be safeguarded. Continuing, he said: "German trade in South America and the East has received a serious blow, and it is the duty of the Board to see that our business men have every ad- vantage." - lliistaken View. Mi', Runciman referred to tine indi- cations of a belief on the continent that Great Britain, in thus looking ahead, was inclined to think of the return of her commercial prosperity rather than of "throwing ourselves heart and out into the attainment of the main object," "That is entirely untrue," the Presi- dent said. "I would not like it to be imagined in France, in Russia, and in Italy, that in preparing for future contingencies we were contemplating an early peace. There is no peace to which we could be a party if it would in any way conflict with the interest of the entente allies," 1' CANADIAN FISH IN LONDON. Trial Consignment Brings Fancy Prices Overseas. A trial consignment of Canadian fish, shipped frozen, has just been sold for fancy prices on the London market. The British Government is said to regard the experiment as ex- eeedingly important, in view of the Ottawa assertion that with proper facilities 2,000,000 pounds of fish per week can be supplied for English markets, Those who believe that such a trade on a permanent basis would prove beneficial to both Canada and' the mo- ther country are urging that a small guarantee per pound be placed on con- signments for a time for the benefit of shippers.
