OLIVER HARPER
* * •.M' * * fi * is it
st
"Mister, Misted Please hold me up
So l can see."
These words cane from the lips
Of a baby of four, blue with c'old
r r
and quivering with a great desie e to
see the wonderful display of moving
toys in the show window of a large
store. •
This strange request in the childish
treble caused an old man whose face
was lined and seamed with hard and
unlovely wrinkles to stop and look
e down. He was about to push the child
away, but the little hands were raised
with such utter confidencethat in spite
of himself lie actually lifted her in his
arms and'gradually edged his way near-
' er the Window through the dense
crowd, The child looked and looked
with staring eyes, as if she could not
take in enough of the wonderful pro
cession:as it went around its allotted
space. The cold hands clutched tight-
ly at the old man's collar, and the blue
lips were parted in an ecstatic smile
• which showed the tiny white teeth.
The golden hair blew across the old
man's face, and somehow he did .not
resent it, but' when he had held her
until the procession had gone twice
' around Ire began .to feehtired, fur. he
Was not .young.,
As he turned to make his way back
through the croWd the little chest, heav-
ed with a great sigh, but she did not
•cry, The old man smiled a cracked
and grudging smile as the child said.
"Thank you—you is good".
"1—good? 'Oh, I don't know."
He, started along thinking .it time
that,the child should be put in, charge
of her parents, but her tiny fingers
clung to his hand, -
"Where is your another?" he ask-
ed. • .
"Muvver's dead. See?" And she
picked up a fold of her black dress
to show.
"Ahs" said he, suddenly: chocking.
And yet he had 'gained the name of
Old Crusty in- the neighborhood
where he lived alone, and he was also
considered to be a stony-hearted miser.
"And my favver, too," continued,
the child, still clinging !to his hand.
"Curious how surroundings influ-
ence one," thought he, "and how the
enthusiasm ofa crowd communicates
itself. I wbnder what kind of a Christ -
Inas this child will shave. Everybody
will have something. 1 wonder where
she lives, and if she would like a pup-
pet." He asked:
"Little .one, would you like a pup-
pet?"
"Fat's dat?" •
"Why, a one of those babies?"
pointing to the dolls in the window.
-"1 dunno, I never touched one."
"Let's go inside," suddenly said
.the old man, some of the unlovely
wrinkles disappearing. They went
info the crowded store.
"Let this little girl have anything
she wants, miss," said Otd Crusty.
The blue eyes shone like stars,.
and a delicate pink bloomed in the
little cheeks. The young lady at the
counter was tired—dead tired, but
the Christmas spirit was P s i n her'
heart
and she handed two dolls, one dark
haired, the other blonde, and each
with white teeth showing between
the lips. "Looks • like muvver,"
she said. Her happiness was as com-
plete as that of the young mother who
cl. ' s her first-born to her heart.
T id man lost some more wrinkles
as • watched her ineffable delight.
The young lady said gently:
"Perhaps you would like to get
your little girls some—ah—shoes and
—warmer things?"
"Thank you, miss, she shall have
them, for as you say she evidently
needs them. But she is not mine,"
When a big bundle of nice warm
garments and a wonderful pair of
red shoes had been made up the man
thought she might possibly be hun-
gry. So they made a queer little
• group at one of the cozy tables. The
baby,for she was scarcely more,
said: •
"1 likes. you. will you take me
house, and my dolly?"
"Yes; if you will tell me where
it is," his face softening in, spite of
• himself. But he soon found that the
child had no idea o4 where she lived,
but by degrees he learned that
"Muver was tooked away in a big
• box," and she had remained with
Mrs, Vilkins. This lady appeared to
have several childrenof her own,
and she had "told Misser Vilkins
that she couldn't be bovvered wiv'
Mary, sp She tooked me out and 1
got losted,',
As the innocent little lips formed,
these words Old Crusty said to him-
self:
"Heartless creature—name. Mary-
—dellbergtely lost this lovely child.
Tender little thingl I must take her
;home for tonight anyhow, and look
,.for her.. people to -morrow."
By the time he had made this re-
solution the Warmth, the good bread
and milk and excitement h:td been
too much for IitieMary'and she lay
asleep in the cab which the "miser"„
:had called. '
No one claimed a lost girl, and
' *Old Crusty said daily:
"1 really must seek her relatives,".
.hut he never found them, and it was.
mot long before the little girl called
tint grandpa, but before that she had
• kissed away all his ugly wrinkles,
ad they are very happy, •

T is clear that if dairying is t0
develop 'as t t o doi the
i auk t n s
g
Province of Ontario, more labor
is needed on dairy forma. As the
supply of labor is limited, cow -farm=
era are turning their attention to the
mechanical milker as an aid In the
biggest job on a farm where milk='
cows are kept, namely, • that •'of
milking.
Past the Experimental Stage.
While' it is tru'e that mechanical
milkers are not yet ,perfected, and
Possibly will, never be absolutely •
"fool -proof," they'' have reached a
stage of perfection where they cati.
be recommemnded to the man who is
in need of. help at milkinphimo.'
There are several machines now on
the market which' have proveii:to be
more or less successful in Costs made
at Experimental Stations, but what
is even more important, have stood,
the 'test of actual' tarns conditions, .
The advertising columns of ;the eget-
cultural press contain the naives of
the leading makesof machines which
can now be purchased by mink -
producers.
. In answer to ,the question, will it
pay ,to buy a milking machine? we ,
would answer yes, under the follow-
ing conditions:'
1. Where a herd of twenty or more
milking cows are kept, though we
were in a stable recently where a
man was using a machine' to milk
eight cows, and hie considered thatit
paid him. '
2. Where hand -milkers are not to
be had,' and where it means selling
all, or part of the herd, because of
the difficulty in getting the cows
milked.
3. Where a man desires to increase
his herd but cannot de so, because
hand milking is impossible.
4. Where a man has some mechan-
ical genius and is willing to give the
machine the necessary attention L^
order to make it a success, Not every
man can get good results with a milk-
ing machine. The cows must be
stripped after the machine, to insure
"milking out clean."
5. Where a man or woman will
give the necessary attention in order
to keep the machine clean. It must
be thoroughly washed and the inilk-
ing parts kept in a solution Of chlor-
ide of lime—one pound, dissolved i4
ten gallons of water. This must be
changed about every two weeks, or
as often as necessary to prevent con•
tamination.
6. Where a man has the necessary
capital (about $500) to invest In a
machine and does not have to bor-
row the money at the present high
rate of interest.—Prof. 11. H. Dean,

Infectious Diarrhoea In Calves.
,A form of diarrhoea In calves,
known as "Infectious Diarrhoea," is
not uncommon in calves, and the
owners are often at a loss to account
for It.
Lt is caused by a specific germ that
gains entrance to the circulation,
generally by the navel opening, It
generally occurs as an epidemic In
certaln of bles or certain localities,
and as it Is often fatal, causes great
loss to the breeder.
The cause and results strongly re-
semble those of joint i11 or navel 111
in foals. The virus which causes the
trouble exists in the stable or in the
soil.
Symptoms.—Ata varia,lle time af-
ter birth, in some cases a few hours
and in others a few days, the young
animal suffers from an attack of
acute diarrhoea, the symptoms of
which do not differ markedly •from
ordinary diarrhoea, except from the
fact that they seldom yield readily
.to treatment. The patient refuses to
-nurse or partake of nourishment,
Persists and death soon results.
Treatment.—preventive treatment
consists in preventing the cause.
When we know that the entrance in-
to the circulation of a gernt causes
the trouble, its entrance must be pre-
vented in order that we may be suc-
cessful. The building in which the
cow is expected to bring forth young,
and especially the stall, should be
thoroughly disinfected. This may be
done by sweeping and dilating thor-
oughly, and following by a thorough
washing or scrubbing with a hot five
per cent. solution of carbolic aeld•or
one of the coal tar antiaceptics, or a
thorough coat of hot lime wash with
five per cent, crude carbolic Geld.
The stall should be cleaned out daily
and a little slacked lime spread upon
the floor each time before supplying
fresh bedding.. The attendant should.
have a quantity of a good strong dis-
infectant on hand„as one of the,solu-
Lions above mentioned or a solution
of corrosive sublimate, 30 grams co
a pint of water. The writer prefers
the Matter, The navel of the calf
should be freely dressed with this as
aeon as possible after birth, and sev-
eral times daily afterwards until
thoroughly healed.
Curative treatment is often MI'
effective. The following has probably
given better results than any other,
viz.: Mix part formalin with 15 parts
new milk and mix a teaspoonful of
title with each part of milk consumed
by the calf. When the calf is nurs-
ing its dam ,the galactose can be mix-
ed with a small quantity -of the dam's
milli and given es a ;drench, the
attendant estimating about how much
11 should' get. When the calf is to
nurse the dam it is well to wash
udder and teats with the solution, be-
fore-theealf nurses•and once or twice
daily for a'•week or se afterwarde.
When this is done the parts should
5e allowed todry, and thee be well
rubbed with a dry cloth' before trio
calf is allowed to nurse, -3, H. It.,

the heart. The Strain of business, the cares

TO CHECK CONTAGION. •
"Do not cough or moms without
a >handkerchiet before the face."
Since the outbreak of influenza, how
often have doctors, and others inter-
ested in public health, advised us of
this, and yet how frequently is the
warning disregarded?
The failure to obey this simple
rule is probably responsible for the
spread of much contagion. Take for
example those in the early, unsus-
pected stages of consumption—a sin-
gle, unguarded cough may release
millions of deadly tubercle bacilli;
to be breathed In by others around.
Until recent years consumption
was considered incurable, but we now
know that it cano cure
b d it taken
in time. Theu k
ao
At ka Free hospital
has proved this without a doubt, for
thousands of its patients have been
restored to health and lives of use-
fulness.
One ex -patient of that hospital
writes as follows: "Just eight years
ago this Christmas time I entered
your Sanatorium. I was a very sad
and discouraged girl that Christmas
Eve, but I have been home over
seven years, and I can hardly believe
that I ever had T, B. I look back to
the days I spent there, with great
thanks' to God and those faithful
workers who understood our cases
and needs, and ministered to us so
faithf ully."
To carry on this great work the
Muskoka Free Hospital for Con-
sumptives is again appealing for
help. There is much to do, Will you
lend a hand?

Since Five took the birth of the
Saviour for our Christmas lesson, to-
day, instead of. a review, we will go
basic arid take up the alternative les-
son for December 22. It will be more
profitable to complete the study of
Joseph in his attitude toward. Ole
kindred than to undertake the re-
view,
L Joseph Sends to Canton for His
Father. (45:17-28).
After Joseph had made himself
known to his brethren he sent them
back to his father in Canaan with
the good news not only that he was
alive, but that the Lord had exalted
him to be lord over all Egypt, and
that his father and brethren with
their families should come down to
Egypt where he would give them the
best of the land and that they should
• eat of the "fat of the land." This
illustrates how 'one day .Jesus Christ
. shall . disclose his identity to hie
brethren the J,dws, and that his exalt-
;ation at the right hand of. the Father
was: for make preparation for them
'against the awful day of trial which
shall be visited upon them (Ants
3:19-21).
II. Joseph Meets His Father in the
Land of Goshen (46:29-34).
Jacob experienoed a double delight
—that of seeing his beloved sou
whom he had long mourned as dead,
and of being welcomed to the now
and strange land by its prime minis-
ter. Joseph instructed his father and
brethren how to place their request
before Pharaoh. Since their occupa-
tion was that of shepherds he know
that some tact should be employed
in their approach to the king, for
"every shepherd is an abomination
unto the Egyptians."
III. Jacob and Five Sons Present-
ed to Pharaoh (47:1-7).
Though Joseph was high in auth-
ority he was not ashamed 'to bring
his father and brethren into the pres-
ence of the great Pharaoh, even
though they. were humble farmers.
1. Pharaoh's Question (vv. 3, 4).
He inquired as to their occupation.
They answered that both they and
their father were shepherds. They
went a little beyond what they were
asked by Pharaoh and instructed to
do by Joseph. They requested the
land of Goshen, for theyknew it was
a good place for pasture for their
flecks.
2. Pharaoh's Instructions to Jos-
eph (vv. 5, 6). He told him to make
his father and brethren to dwell in
the best of the land—even Goshen,
and that if he knew
of any
m of
Y en
ability among them to give them the
charge of his cattle. He assumed that
since Joseph was so capa'blb and
trustworthy ! his breth-
ren
r t
that some o e h-
ren would also possess suitable quali-
fications of administration.
7-1IV0).. Jacob Blessed Pharaoh (4+f:
Though Jacob was a pilgrim in
Egypt, dependent upon Pharaoh even
for food to eat, in the dignity of his
faith of what God would do with him,
and through him, he pronounced a
blessing upon the great Egyptian
king. The less is blessed by the
greater (Hebrews 7:7). Though
conscious of his place of superiority
through the divine covenant he did
not manifest officiousness, but rather
the desire to -convey a vital blessing.
He recognized that he was the chan-
nel. through which great blessings
would come to Pharaoh, in accord-
ance with the Abrahamic covenant
(Genesis -12:1-3), Israel is one day
to be the channel through which the
blessings of salvation shall flow to
the Gentile nations (Romans 11: 12-
15-).
V. Joseph 'Nourished His Father
and Brethren (47:11, 12).
• According to the Instructions of
Pharaoh, Joseph placed his father
and brethren in the beat of the land
and made provision for them. Jesus
Christ will one,day, when the famine
of the great tribulation is exceeding
sore, be reconciled to his tiretlrreu,
the Jews, and will give them a pos-
session in the best of the lend and
nourish then. Christ is now seated
with the Father on his throne; and
one 'day will reveal himself to hie
,brethren the Jews and will feed them
on the "fat of the land."
Jacob. lived' in Egypt 17 years.

couch with a cry' of despair.
"All is over," she moaned, "and' I
have failed: I could not force him to
terns, and I would never yield to his.
1 will take charity from no one, least
of • all from him. I will be first or
nothing!" and she shivered faintly. •
After a time she arose, and ringing
for 'her maid, ordered a light repast
brought to her room, as she would not
go' down to dinner; "And,"' she con-
cluded, "you can have the evening to
yourself: 1 expect callers, and will not
need you."
Anhour later, Richard Hobson crept
along the corridor and tapped for ad-
mittance. There was no answer, and'
cautiously pushing open the door, he
entered unbidden, but started back in
horror at the sight that met his eyes.
The elecric lights had not been turn-
ed on, but a few tall wax tapers, in a
pair of can.delebra upon the mantel,
were burning, and In the diol, weird
light, Mrs. LaGrange, still elegantly at-
tired for her interview with Harold
Mainwaring, lay upon the low couch
near the grate, her features scarcely
paler than a few hours before, but
naw rigid he death. Upon the table
beside her, the supper ordered by the
maid stood untested, while on the same
table a small vial bearing the label of
one of the deadliest of poisons, but
empty, told the story. Underneath the
vial was a slip of paper, on which was
written,—
"I have staked my highest card—and
losti The game is (tonet"
Terror - stricken, Hobson glanced
about him-, then pausing only long
enough to clutch some of the gleaming
jewels from the inanimate form, he
stealthily withdrew, and, skulking tin -
observed along the corridors, passed
out into the darkness and was gone.
CHAPTER XXII
, i
Secession, n the Ranks
When Ralph Mainwaring and Mr.
Whitney arrived at the club they found.
young Mainwaring already awaiting
them at their private table, but it was
far from a socf:ef group which sat.down
to dinner that evening. The elder
Mainwaring still preserved an ominous
silence, and in his dark, glowering face
few would have recognized the urbane
guest whom Hugh Mainwaring had in-
troduced to his small coterie of friends
less than three months before. The
younger- man, though holding a desul-
tory conversation with the attorney,
yet looked decidedly bored', while from
time to bine he regarded his father with
a cynical expression entirely new to his
hitherto ingenuous face. Mr. Whitney,
always keenly alert to his surround-
ings became quickly conscious of a sud-
den Zack of harmony between father
and son, and feeling himself in rather
a delicate position, carefully refrained
his remarks from touching upon
any but the most neutral ground,
A couple of hours later, as the three
with a box of cigars. were gathered a-
round an open fire in Ralph Mainwar-
ing's apartments, it was noticeable that
young Mainwaring was unusually sil-
ent. In a few moments, however, his
father's long pent-up wrath burst forth.
Addressing the attorney in on very
pleasant tone, he demanded, "Well,
sir, what do you now propose to. do
about this matter?"
"it is to be a fight, then, is it?" Mr.
Whitney' asked With a smile, knocking
the ashes from his cigar, ,
Yes; by my soul, -and a fight to the
finish. Understand, i will Have nio time'
lost, This farce lias got to be quashed'
at once, and the sooner the better, so
'you.:‘may enter protest and an ap-

while, 1'11 secure the best legal talent
that money can get to help you. I've.

sheep -herder thinks, sold 'when the
Hine .for contest comes, P11 meet hint

"1f you are going to employ addit-
ional counsel," interposed Mr, Whitney
"allow me to suggest the name of P.
13, Hun'neweli, of this city; he is one of
the ,ablest attorneys in the United
States, particularly in matters of this
kind. His fees are somewhat exorbi-
tant, ibut money is no object with you
in'.thfs case."
None whatever," the other inter-
rupted, impatiently; "we will retain

dation, but Itt the morning I shall cable

"'Flow hi drat?" questioned the at-

(liapute his Identity after the ui11i11
takable proolfs submitted?"
"I care nothing about his identity,"
Mahtwaring• retorted, with it sneer.
"Whether he Is the son of Harold,
Mainwaring or of Frederick Seott, mat-
tars little;' both were renegades and
outcasts from their homes. No, sir,"
and t her was a ring of exultation In his
tone, while his steel -gray eyes glittered,
•"1 have a surprise in store for the
young man; when he gets through wl
tn
this contest, he will dud himself under
arrest, as the murdered of l•lugh Main-
waring.''
Young Mainwaring rose suddenly
and began pacing the mom, while Mr,
Whitney exclaimed,—
"Mr, Mainwaring, you astonish niel
1 'certainly fail to see Trow you can
`connect the young man with that terri-
ble affair."
"What else could be expected 'of a
man who acknowledges that for years
he Iia§ been dogging the steps, of Hugh
Mainwaring and acting the part of a
spy, not only in his private offices, but
even in his own home, stopping to any
means, 110 matter how contemptble, to
further his nefarious designs? Would
such a man, when his schemes were
finally matured,` have any scruples
about .taking the life of the one who
stood in the way of their fulfilment?"
"But- sir," protested the attorney,
"such a deed would be wholly unneces.
sary. Admitting all that you have said
regarding the tnealis employed by him,
would it not be much more reasonable
to suppose :that he would attempt to
bring this men to terms either through
a personal interview or by bringing suit
against him, rather than by resorting
to brutal crime?" •
"And supposing 'he did have a per-
sonal interview for the' purpose of set-
ting forth his clalms, do you think that
Hugh Mainwaring would be bamboozled.
byany of his cheap trickery? No, sir,
not for one moment. He would simply
pronounce the whole ,thing:. a 'sham.
Well, sir, if you recall some of the testi-
mony at the inquest, you will see: -that•
is precisely what occurred. Hugh
Mainwaring, within twenty or thirty
minutes preceeding his death was beard
to denounce some one as a 'liar' and an
'impostor.' ' An 'impostor,' mark you!
Very, applicable to the case we are
now supposing. And in the alterca-
tion which followed, the other party
called ' him a 'thief,' and made some
allusion -1 do not recall the exact
words—to his being `transported to
tine wilds of Australia,' Now, sir, there
is no doubt in the mind' of any sane
man that those words were spoken
by the murderer of Hugh Manwaring,
and 1 think now we have a pretty good
clue to his identity."
"But the young man stated emphati-
cally this morning that he made no
mention of the will to Hugh Mainwar-
ing.,,
"To the devil with his statementsl
There is evidence enough against him
that he will be ruined' when I get
through with him. He has dared to
try to thwart me in the plans of a
lifetime, and I'll make it the worst piece
of business he ever undertook. Un-
derstand, I want you to institute pro-
ceedings against him at once!"
"Governor," said young Mainwaring,
quietly, before Mr. Whitney could re-
spond to this tirade, in whose naive
will these proceedings be instituted,ted

"Well," replied his father, with a
sneer, "I don't know that it makes any
articular differenceto you in whose
p
name it is done, so long as it is 'for
your benefit."
"Begging your pardon, sir, I believe
it does make considerable difference.

Up to this point, astonishment at
