Indeed, the surprise fell sooner than I had mita, pitted, although it happeued by the Menus 1 bad always considered proba- ble. That Williams, garrulous and sharp eyed Welshman as ite was, could be seeured in silence was well nigh lin- possible, for even if concealment had been for his personal benefit he would still Lave plied his tongue, and, though he were sworn to secrecy, the private transactions of this singular feud would have slowly dribbled through his communications and become cur- rent inethe gossip of the country. This knoeilladge was mainly instrumental In deterring us front confiding it nine Burglars were the bugaboo we had brandished before him, and burglary, sure enough, was the word that ran over the district. The news came to us late that morning. As I gathered, Wil- liams, who was keeping company with some girl of Llanellan, woke early from his belated sleep and ran down to the village, full of the battle. His own appearance in it, as 1 afterward discovered, had been gorgeously cons eeivedand magniloquently tendered. I believe, according to his version, it was he, And he alone, who gave the sig., nal for the final rout, and certainly he Was the author of that fall from the battlements. But this was just es well, for the num knew nothing of its fatal issue, and poor Sheppard did not grudge him the credit. But I am trespassing upon my narra- tive too rashly. Williams returned lat- er in the morning and, apparently to celebrate his own cleverness, made his communications to me. He had given warning to the schoolmaster at Mu - ellen, who had offered to hand on the notice to the authorities at Raymond. I could have cursed the man for his folly and his babbling tongue, but I was just enough to recall that his con- duct was merely natural, Iu truth, if he thought at all, he must have consid- ered us a pack or egregious asses for not taking better precautions and ac- quiring the aid of the Raymond police. I could do nothing, therefore, but ac- quiesce with as good a grace as I might and wish heartily that we had left him sleeping as soundly as Mrs. Main and the naaicl, who, it appeared, had never opened an eye throughout the night, although the former asserted that she had dreamed "there was a thunderstorixelike," adding the enclitic familiar to her conversation. But the situation remained to be faced, and I guessed that we should be confronted with it very shortly. Consequently we must compose a plan of action, and, whatever we agreed upon, must run no risk of denial at other bands. In this connection It seethed that I must pay a necessary visit to Sercombe, a task which for some reason was not to my taste. Sheppard, who had quite recovered binasele and bad not yet referred in any way to the event of the early morning, cordially approved iny sug- ger tion. "It will be a wise course," be de- clared. "And, besides, I am anxious to inspect these foreigners nearer." Where the Greeks were lodged we knew not, but it was evidently not at the Woodman, for on our arrival there the place was deserted except by the woman who had charge of Hood's kitchen. She could give us little in. formation. She had not seen her mu-, ter since she went to bed on the pre- vious evening. But Captain Sercombe had been called at 9 o'clock and had gone out after eating a hasty break- fast. There was no one else staying in the house. Such was the informa- tion. she imparted to us, influenced to her frankness,. I had no doubt, by my position as the big landed proprietor of the place. Which way had Captain Sereombe gone? Ile had gone down the roadway in the direction of dlay- mond. With this we had to content our- selves; but, determined at all hazards to catch Sercombe, Sheppard and I took the narrow lake that led clown tbe Valley in the hope of hitting upon him.

Sercombe laughed. "Oh, I don't fan- cy the knife myself, though some pei. pie do." - Sheppard turned deathly, pale, but he smiled politely and answered, "There is no knowing what scruples a man will develop." This turn of the conversation sud- denly woke me to a sense of my errand, and I quickly communicated my news to Serconthe. "I thought we should come to this," he said cheerfully, "and I would have laid odds I should have had you here ou this mission. I knew you would drop that mealy mouthed righteous - mos of yours.

Sercombe burst out laughing. "I Owe thought," he said, "that Mr. Shep- pard was more my sort, but now I believe I pin my note on you!" "You honor me," X returued, "but come to businese." The captain plucked his long red mustache meditatively. "I'm sorry I can't discuss this with you uow, gen- tlemen," be said. "eefter all it's your affair, though I admit I have a certain interest iu it, but if I may come up and see you about 3 o'clock we can go into • details. I fancy it's a concerted plan we want." "That's so," I returned, feeling ter- ribly mean and small to be conspiring so against the laws of my couutry with au admitted scoundrel. "Very well; let us say 3," said the captain and stuck out his hand as though to dismiss us. For myself, being in the frame of mind I have described, I contrived to overlook his :WM, but Sheppard, all smiles, sprang forward and shook him heartily. "By the way," he said bright- ly, "and where is my friend Hotel?" "Hood!" echoed Sercombe anti looked at us queerly. "Oh, Mr. Hood is in- venting a new maneuver. He is a bet- ter soldier than I ant, is -Air. Hood, nat- urally." I suppose he saw that we ex- changed glances. "My dear sirs," he said, "I only tell you what you might suppose for yourselves. Mr. Hood is trying his band at generalship, but I don't reveal his plan of campaign. Per- haps you guess it." And he burst out laughing rather unpleasantly. It was obvious to both of us that there was a bitterness in Sercombe's - words. Fallen though he was from a respectable estate and sunk as he had become in a career of dissipation and unscrupulous naventure, be still re- tained a certain feeling of his own dig- nify. How far the difference between Hood and himself had gone I could not kuow, but if it event much further it seemed as though we might take some advantage out of it. But of the two it was Ilood—Hood, with his lean black face—that X feared. Sercombe kept his appointment with commendable punctuelity, entering our council chamber, if I nuty so describe the smaller of the halls in which we usually sat, with the jauntiness of his morning's encounter.

My name, sir, is Colonel Landell, and I am a justice of the peace." I was evidently called upon to make some suitable rejoinder to his piece of oratory, and I bowed again and em- phasized my satisfaction in receiving so distinguished and so famous a jus- tice, who would soon dissipate the mists of suspicion and mystery with which this singular affair was in- volved. This address set the old gentleman upon bis legs, metaphorically speak- ing, and forthwith be plunged into the depths. "This party, I understand, Mr. Greatorex," said he, "attacked you ear- ly this morning?" "About 3 o'clock," I answered. He commended the reply to the sergeant, who scribbled in Itis book. "Had you any reason to fear this as- sault was intended?" I hesitated. "Well, to say the truth," I replied, "we were not wholly without some suspicions." "I may take It upon myself to say, sir," suddenly broke in the eaptain, "that it 'was 1 that first put the sus- picion into Mr. Greatorex's head." He looked at me as if inviting me eorroboration, and a twinkle glistened lh the rascal's eye. "That is true," said 2 gravely. "Cap- tain Sercombe is entirely responsible for iny suspicions." The ambiguity of the phrase tickled tie both, and a smile was very private ly exchanged between us.

The careful fanner will keep watch on his mare when her time the foaling has expired in ot der to be in a position to render any assistance which may be re- quired, Some mares prefer to be alone, and, in that ease the watchers should be out of sight, but still near enough to be ready with assistance if necessary. Sometimes the foal is born enveloped in the foetal membranes, which, of course, have to be broken or the area- ture will soon smother. If the naval strings have not been broken they should be cut about five or six inches from the body of the foal, but not until a good strong string has been tied tightly around them to prevent bleedine. Sometimes a little trouble is experi- enced with young and nervous mares in starting the foal to suck, but a little pa- tience and kindness on the part of the at- tendant usually overcomes that difficulty. If the foal at birth is strong and healthy it ts best to leave it alone. Many farmers are in the habit of giving it a dose of oil, whether the animal needs it or not, and many a foal has been iujured, and, in some instances - killed by this foolish practice. If ma- atipated an injection of oil or warm water will in most eases relieve the trctzble without any dosing at all. In oases where the foal has to be fed on cow's milk owing to death of dam, or other causes, it should ba reduced one- third with water and a little sugar added and the foal should be fed every two boars for the first few weeks. As a pre- caution against the disease known to farmers as "foal ill" the naval should be seared over with a little oil to which a few drops of carbolic, acid have been added. This is a germ disease, and it is thought that the germ gaius entrance to the system theettgh the naval opening, hence the treatmentrecommended. This has been largely practiced in some locali- ties where the disease has been noticed and with very satisfactory results. Of course it is not curative treatment, but used only as a means of prevention. If we want to give the foal the best possible chance, the mare should not be worked awing the nersing seaftot, but many good foals are reared while their dams are working every day. I consid- or every mare ehotid have a month's rest after foaling, and whoa she is pat b weak, the foal should be kept in the stable during the hours its date is at Work and not allowed to follow her around at her daily task, 11.
