On the other hand, time was nvery valuable to him and he might waste weeks looking for the man h whom Oom Sam could tell him at once where to find. On the whole it was better to accept Da Souza's offer. "Very well, Da Souza," he said. "I have no time to spare in this country and the sooner I get back to England the better for all of us.

A day! a week! who can tell how long?" "Has he a doctor?" Trent asked, "The missionary, he is a medical man," Oom 'Sam explained, "Yet he is long past the art of medicine." It seemed to Trent, turning at that moment to relighthis cigar, that a look of "subtle intelligence was flashed' from one to the other of the brothers:He paused with the match in his fin-gers, puzzled, suspicious, anxious. So there was some scheme hatched �f.l- ready between these precious pair! It was time indeed that he had come, "There was something else T wanted to ask," he said a moment or two later. "What about the man Francis. Has he been heard of lately?" Oom Sam shook his head. , "Ten months ago," he answered, "a trader from Lulabulu reported having passed him on his way to the interior. He spoke of visiting Sugbaroo, an- other country beyond. If he ventured there he will surely never return. Trent set down his glass without a word, and called to some Kru boys in the square who carried litters. "I am going," he said, "to find Monty." CHAPTER XXIV. '�An old man, with his face turned to the sea, was making a weary attempt at digging upon a small potato patch. The blaze of•the tropical sun had be -come lost au, hour or so'before in .a t;:anrey mist, rising not from he sea, but from the swamps which ay here and there—brilliant, verdant itches of poison and pestilence. With he mist came a moist, sticky heat, the it was fetid. Trent wiped the per- piration from his forehead and breathed hard. This was an evil mo- ent for him. Monty turned round at the sound f his approaching footsteps. The two en stood face to face. Trent looked agerly for some sign of recognition —one came. "Don't you know me ?" Trent said uskily.

Monty's head wa wagging feebly,- and he was casting continual little, furtive glances to- wards the -town. . "Please go away," he said. `"I don't know you, and you give me a pain in my head. Don't you• know what it is to feel a buzz, buzz buzzing inside?. I can't remember things. It's no use trying." "Monty, why do you !look so often that way?" Trent said quietly. "Is some one coming out from the town to see you?" Monty threw a quick glance at him and `Trent sighed. For the glance was full of cunning, the low cunning of the lunatic criminal. "No one, no one," he said hastily. "Who should come to see me ? I'm only poor Monty. Poor old Monty's got no friends. Go away and let me dig." Trent walked a few paces apart, and passed out of the garden to a low, shelving bank and looked downward where a sea of glass rippled on to the broad, firm sands. What a'picture of desolation! The grey, hot mist, the whitewashed cabin, the long, ugly potato patch, the weird, pathetic fig- ure of that old man from whose brain the light of life had surely passed forever. And yet Trent was puzzled. Monty's furtive glance inland, his half -frightened, half -cunning denial of any anticipated visit suggested that there was some one else who was interested in his existence, and some one, too, with whom he shared a se- cret. Trent lit a cigar and sat down upon the sandy turf. Monty resumed his digging. Trent watched him rough the leaves of a stunted tree, nderneath which he had thrown him- lf oY• an hour or more nothing hap I la Fashion Hints Eh! 'What!" pend.

Hitherto each market and in most t markets each dealer had a system of t grading peculiar to his own trade, . a This resulted in endless confusion ai a the consumer, and great difficulty wa�i • experienced at times on the part of; the producer in finding a satisfactory market for his product. t Realizing the importance" of hay ing definite standards for all live ,itociz products the Live Stock Branch al' s the Dominion Department ole eeniaul- ture has endeavored by means of pamphlets, placard's, and other means, to give the standards for eggs as much publicity as possible. The ev- operation of exhibition association 'rat. also been secured, prominent among which has been that of the Canadian National Exhibition Association, at whose exhibition in Toronto this year, in response to prizes offered, probably the largest collection of eggs ever. brought together in one exhibition of the American contipent was display- ed. Some 7,000' dozen in all were on exhibition. The prize list for eggs was prepared in accordance with the " standards, and the judges made their awards according to the accuracy. of the interpretation, on the part of the exhibitor, of the definitions. of het various grades. At a number of exhibitions where no extensive classes for eggs have been offered, the Live Stock Branch has made a display of eggs graded in accordance with the standards, and in each instance has supplemented the display with actual demonstrations in a candling booth specially designed for the purpose, of the way in which eggs of the various grades appear when candled. In order 'that the consumers and producers generally may become more familiar with the various classes and grades, the following explanation is given: Three general classes for eggs are provided under the standards, viz:— "Fresh gathered," "Storage," and "Cracked and Dirties." Four grades are provided inthefirst class, three in the second, and two in the third. The grades in the "Fresh Gathered" class are "Specials," "Extras," "No. l's," and "No. 2's." The grade "Spe- ials" is omitted from the "Storage" lass, and both specials and extras from the class for "Cracked and Dir- ies." "Specials," according to the stand° rds are eggs of uniform size weigh - ng over 24 ounces to the dozen or . ver 46 pounds net to the 30 dozen ase; absolutely clean, strong and gond in shell; air cell small, not over /16 of an inch in deptlin white of egg firm and clear, and yolk direly isible; free from blood clots. "Extras" are eggs of good size, eighing at least 24 ounces to the ozen or 45 pounds net to the 30 doz- e case; clean, sound in shell; air cell ' ss than % of an. inch in depth; with white of egg firm, and yolk slightly sible. "No. l's" are eggs weighing at ast 23 ounces to the dozen or 43 unds net to the 80 dozen case; can, sound in shell; air cell less than inch in depth; white of egg reason- ly firm; yolk visible but mobile, not . . tuck to 'the shell'or seriously mit of place. "No. 2's" are eggs clean; sound in shell; may contain weak watery eggs, and eggs with heavy yolks, and all other eggs sound in. shell and fit for food. Consumers, in order to protect. - themselves in the matter of purchas- ing eggs, should acquaint themselves with these standards and the above definitions of the grades. Only by creating a demand for certain grades of eggs will the supply be forthcom- ing, and the demand can come only• with a thorough knowledge on the part of the consumer as to what con- stitutes the various grades. It has also been frequently suggested that since the adoption of the standards consumers generally, in order to safe- guard themselves, would do well to in- sist that all eggs as offered for sale be labelled in accordance with their proper grade. Producers, too, would do well to c c t a i 0 c s 8 v w d e to vi le po el ab • 1 1 •• more systematically grade their eggs before marketing, and, knowing defi- nitely what they have in band, there- by be in a better position to demand a price commensurate with the quality supplied. • His Good Fortune.
