He finished the soup, and she rose again to her feet. "Please 'don't go," he said. "If you do, I think I shall get up and follow. I am quite sure I am entitled to a little something more than soup." "Nepapinas says that you may have a bit of boiled fish for supper," she assured him. "You know I don't mean that. I want to know why you shot me, and what you think you are going to do with me."

(Continued next week) INVESTS LESS THAN $16 AND NOW HAS $350,000 BUSINESS Starting with an investment of 15.75 which was supposed to be a cabby, Edward H. Stahl has developed chat is said to be the largest rabbit 'arm in the United States. He does Ln annual 'business of $350,00'0. His •alb'bitry is located at Holmes Park, do., not far from Kansas City. The Stahl rabbit farm is not only t aid to be the largest in the United states, but it supplies breeding stock or a large number of other rabbitries tattered throughout this and other ountries. Stahl was at one time foreman of . powder mill located near Hnlmes 1 'ark. Business was a little dull and 1 laving some spare time on his hands i le invested $15.75 in Belgian hares ihich he hutched in a borrowed corn rib. Being a prolific animal the rabbits' urebased with the original outlay Ion had produced enough so that here was a surplus on the farm. I ltahl spent $2.80 for an advertise- ; rent in a weekly farm newspaper ; nd got orders for $80 worth of rab- ( its. With that experience as a back- '1 round, be soon quit the powder mill '( nd devoted all of his attention to aising rabbits. -Chinchilla is the breed of rabbits i which Stahl specializes. He im- orted a large number from England number of years ago and is now ecognized as one of the leading uthorities in this country on this P reed. New Zealand Whites are also ]1 opular on his farm. I Practically every rabbit on the 'i lace has a hutch to himself until l; is ten weeks old at which time the I nimal is shipped to another rabbitry r to market.
