"I 'wonder," said Varney after a short pause, whether she really does." Scarborough did not reply. In his own mind the same doubt had risen more than once, only to be steadily crushed down. It seemed difficult te believe that Elsa's faith could have withstood unshaken the various shocks to which it had in these last t daysbeen su jected; but appar- ently it had. He remembered, too, that she had said that there were 1 00 s, andthat the murderer had not succeeded in destroying those. But what proofs could there be? He was ! quite unable to guess at what she meant; but he could not but think that if she was, as he feared, pinning her faith on -documents that her father. told her contained his vindication,. there could only be another bitter dis- appointment in store for her. "Are you going to tell her about the pencilled stone?" asked Varney. ! "I don't think so." 1 "Or about the hooded woman?" "No, not at present. What' S your theory about the hooded woman?" I.

Her tone this f time suggested a sudden and entire t lack of interest, and during the few h minutes longer that the young men' t stayed, she said nothing more. D "I say," said Varney, when he and • , Scarborough had put a mile between Su them and the Casa Davis, "I like that y believe that he was running , way from that woman.

"Very likely," said Scarborough. "I elieve be didn't like Carrington." "On general grounds? Or he now anything?" "I don't think so." Presently Scarborough returned gain to the subject of the hooded oznan, and Varney, said sharply: "I see what you're driving at, of urse; but you're wrong. You think was Mona." I"1 don't." "Well, anyway, you are prepared to neve that it may have been. I tell u the idea is absured, but you don't em to be inclined to believe me." Scarborough laughed.

Richmond was found to be . too near the metropolis to be used es more than a temporary halt- ing place. Motorists stopped on the summit of the hill, gave an admiring glances at the superb view and sped on their way. But the new guests are among those to whom speeding n any shape or form is no longer nor,- sible.

We moat agree that very oftan calsais which should be kept in the herd fur breed- ing ptieposee are turned- away for veal and their owner gets little profit fromthem, them, and they are not permitted to du the good in the' herd which they would have done if kept for bread- ing purposes. However, there are large numbers of calves raised each '; year which should go to the veal route, and many of those. which are k'lled while very young would be no :luae if kept in the herd at; breeders. .1 The good dairyman has aapobasis n iich he works in selling or keeping his calves -as the case may rises first of all, a pure-hred sire propens.ties ;veil marked in the blood -of his'ancestors. He keeps in his herd nothing but the best individual animals and hefty:est milkers and he weighs the milk from each cow or heifer regularly and ears- tematically, and, if necessary, has the, milk tested for fat, so he knows ex- actly what each of his cows is do'ng, • and whether or not .calves from that cow are likely to go on and redee val- uable animale to place in his herd. If the cow, mother of the calf, cannot, through milk produetion, justify her existence in the herd there little reason why the calf frau? :such a mother should he kept past veal . age and•t is far better that such ealf :should go to the butcher early in life than to prove bill of exneese. in fact, a robber, in the clan-, herd.

The point is, to be able to pick out calves which should remain in the herd, something must be known about the producing ability of their hun3, and this cannot be estimated by the ordhiary guess -work method. The scualeree and the tests should be made ust as important in determining. the tu individuals which shall corn - rise the herd as in determining which ow now milking shall reinain in the erd. It is important also that no faulty ndividual as to .conformation and pc be kept in the herd. It is not en - ugh that the sire be from good milk - g ancestry and the cow be a heavy ilker herself. They must have such nformation and prepotency that the ilves show the desirable type of tins milking breeds. Faulty calves should be discardsd en though their ancestry be right.
