In his portmanteau he has a diminu- tive emelt, vthich he carries with him always. The alarm he sets for seven, as he aesires to get the others up, and everything ready. It was the inten- tion cf the Pasha to take the nine - twenty express out of Paris—Iack and his party will board the train early, -with a double object In view, the first part of which is the fact that they aannot leave Paris caller, and then again it will be easy to learn whether the trap has been spreng. If Abdallah Pasha does not show up at the station for that train, Jack is ready to accept the matter as settled that the Tura is at that moment held in durance vile by a remnant of the once famous cata- comb clique, who demand for his re- lease a heavy ransom, and will be in no great hurry to collect it, possibly giving him a chalice to escape after (several days. Sack throws himself on the bed only partially disrobed, and in three minu- tes is fast asleep—such is the severe strain that has been of late upon 'his rervous syetem that he tosses about ecnsiderably, but does not once awak- en tmtil the faithful little clock, placed close to his head, rings out its silvery summons. At the first not3 of alarm Jack sits tip, rubs his eyes, notes the time, for the gas, though turned low, has been 'kept burning, and then stretching, pro- ceeds tct dash some cola water in his face to chase the drowsiness away.

A few vvords with Larry is enough to let him know what the game is, and in turn he communicates it to the eadies, who have the room adjoining kis, with a door between. Meanwhile Doctor Jack goes below, eand hires a vehicle to take them all elo the station in good time for the mine -twenty train east.

Unconscious- ly she, too, begins to glance beyond, and survey the people wlso pass in re - VIM, but she is not looking for the seme party as Jack—he seeks the red fez and bronzed face of the Turk, while Avis Is endeavouring to discover, under soma disguise, the most dazzl- ing black eyes she ever met. Not that she is jealous of Sack—she believes every word he has told her with re- gard to Mercedes, and yet somehow Avis feels that the Spanish woman Oees not mean to give up the game vet. More time pae.ses—she 'wishes the gong would sound, and Jack climb into the carriage. When this occurs she. will feel better satisfied—as though he really belonged to her. As it is, Avis is in a continual nervous state lest some- thing should occur to prevent his go- ing with them—a number of things seem to flash into her mind—a tele- gram may be handed him requiring las attention on some grave business matter, or perhape the crafty Pasha maY Prefer a charge azainst him, and the police arrest the American just be- fore the train moves out. These things may seem foolish, but they are one and all within the range of possibility, and in her present frame of mind Avis can invest each with an air of truth. So she holds her watch in her hand and casts meny an anxious look upon it. Evidently Jack is preoccupied with his thoughts, for he passes the window - a number of times without looking up to meet her eyes. Penally he does so, and smiles in return for the look she wafts him. He draws near, and Avis lowers the sash to stheak. Is it not nearly time, doctor ?" she asks. " Two minutes mora I think we will start out on time, which is a good beginning.

CHAPTER There are rie secrets between the de- voted quartette now—even Madame Sophie Is intereeted In effecting the re- lease of etlecit Morton, her favourite nephew, so Doctor Jack sbowa them the note, and they laugh over the love- ly altuation the Turk finds himself in this early spring morning. How he must fume and fret at the detention just at this time when time is odsso rauch value ta him. Perhaps a glim- mer of the truth may creep into bis brain, and IC so his sate of mind will certainly' be anything but improved by the consciousnces that his crafty enemy has outwitted him again. "'gnat is our course e" asks Larry, who has fall( n back ttpOn the cush- ions, and seems to be taking life easy a -indeed, the little man has a. 'way of doing this quite his own, "We shall take the most direct line now opers—there has been an unfor- tunate serle.s of accidents bapperting lately that temporarily closes several routes. To reach Vienna, and then Buda-Pesth, we must pass through Baden and other portions of Germany. Wait, I will try and mark our course on this guide -book mare" So Jack busies himself while Avis leans °vex his shoulder looking on and offering suggestions now and then. A very pretty picture Larry thinks as lie watches them through his half closed eyes, and it would be a shame for any man to ever come between two who seem to be so mutually smitten—so he nobly resolves to give up his own chances in the affair, and let Jack have a clear field—a tesolution that does him credit under the circuraitan- ces seeing that he has three times asked Avis' to have him and on each occasion sent the New York girl off into a spasm of laughing for which she has always apologized, though de- clining to enter into any partnership arrangement with a cousin. They are making good time, and be- fore the day ends stop at a station on the border, where a 01.13tOMS makes a pretense of searching their luggage, receives bis tip, glances at their passports, and they are free to enter Germany. It is long after darkness sets in that they cross the historic Rhine, and feel they are in the heart of the German empire. Now and then the gentlemen step out at the stations to stretch their limbs and smoke. The night passes away. Once there seems a long delay, and Jack fears lest this, the last method of reaching Vienna, may be closed to them, as there has been an aceident ahead. In case it is a landslide, that may be hours and days being cleared up, he soon makes up his mind what they will do. In Europe money will accomplish wonders, even as in our own country, and in the morning they may find a conveyance of some sort that will take them beyond the obstruction, where they can find a train. Should this fall, one more course re- mains—to pass down' through the St. Gothard tunnel into Italy, reaching Venice on the Adeiatie, and there tak- ing a steamer for Constantinople. Thus Jack lays his plans and goes to sleep—he is awakened by a jarring motion, and finds they are on the move again. Good only an hour or so has been lout Morning finds them at Munichand If all goes well they should reach Vienna some time before the Sun goes down la the west. Breakfast is eaten here, time being given the travellers Avis looks a little jaded, but she seems to stand the rack of travel upon a Continental railway wonderfully well, eeept wore, as he helps her back into tTo be eontieued) A MAN EATER IN PERAK, new a Daring Tigrese wee, wined math strycenhes, Inquests bare been held at l'erak, on the be dies of Hag Saldt, Weir (Malays), end Chualt Kew Wale (Meese), also se inquiry into the disappearance of See Ah La (Chinese), all of alatang, Perak.

Just a week before this occurrence WO Chintunen, liviug in the santelooal- ty and engaged iu the same industry, net with a similar experienoe. Both slept six feet from the ground on op- posiM sides of the room. Two hours fter going to bed one of them was roused by the erica at the other, There WaS no light in the house, but lie saw Indistinctly a big beast rush past with the deceased in its mouth. The animal with its prey broke througli the atap wall and disappeared in the &winless. The next day a search was organized. The tracks of the tiger were followed, but none of the remains could be recov- ered. Geraah Kew Wali was taken from his kongsi at Passir Hitam a fortnight later in the same extraordinary manner as his predecessors in, the tiger's larder. Information was given to the police, and a few hours later to the nth.% dis- trict magistrate, Mr. H. L. Hulbert. The latter stated that early that morn- ing he and Mr. George Maxwell had been out after the tiger. On receiving the information they returned with the Chinese. Starting from the kongsi, wbich was a two story building, the two magistrates followed the tracks through low swampy jungle for half an hour, when they came upon the head of a Chinaman that had evidently been bitten off by some animal, whose teeth marks were visible. The nose and lips were also chewed off. They followed on, and about half an hour later found the trunk of the body lying in a swam- py place. There was no suitable place for a trap, and after conferring with Mr. Maxwell the witness put some strychnine into the thighs of the body by means of his hunting knife. They retuned to the kongsi, bring- ing the head with them, which one of the Chinese identified as that of his missing brother. The next morning it was found that the trunk had been re - waved. It elms discovered at last to- gether with the dead body of a tigress. The thighs of the deceased had been completely deVoured. The tigress was full grown. She measured 8 feet 1 inch and was as regards coat, body and teeth in splendid coedition' contrary to the theory laid down thatonly mangy old and toothless tigers become man eaters. By the wounds on the head and leg she was identified as the killer of the Ma- lays. In- the cases of Haji Sahit, Tahir ancl Chuals Kew Wah the verdict was, "Death by misadventure owing to the bites of a tiger." The result of the in- quiry was recorded thus: "The pre- sumption is that See Ah Lok met hie death by being killed by a tiger at Te- lok Nebong.

"--" The Value of a Life, Waging Uoge. Two correspondents of The ationa1 Steelman give their methods for ri - Mg hogs. Both seem very elleap and handy. The first ape deseribed is that of Mr. George W. Potter:, who says: liftVO a catcher for use in ringing bogs that works to perfection, as the largest hog can be held with one baud and ringed with. the other. Take a Wine /310U broom handle, bore a email hole in one end, take it streug whipcord about 14 inches long and pass through hole and tie. That forms a noose. When you slop your hogs, take hold of the handle and hook this noose in the mouth, up. per jaw, then twist the handle, form- ing it hitch around the 11.0641. You can hold the bundle Nvith one hand and ring with the other. It is the nicest arrange - merit 1 over saw. The second device ia described by Mr. E. D. Hale, who sends also a diagram of his couvenient arrangement: This is the way we catch hogs for ringing. Take an ordinary shipping orate for Logs, take oil cleats at both ends, an one end nail at four corners of the orate four dots itches by 3 inches, Over hese trosswise at top and hot. tom of orate mail two 2 inch by 0 inch strips. Through these bore one-half inch holes, dodg- ing three inches apart. Into this HOG lalleelrelt. Space insert two movable levers with holes in them op- posite those in cleats. When finished, the end of the orate will look like the dia- gram. Levers 1 and 2 are heldin place by two bolts Nvithout burs. This makes them adjustable to different sized hogs. No. 2 is thrown back ready for the hog to put his head in. Set the "trap," we call it, at your pen door, with hogs inside, with one man or boy to chase one at a time into it, and as the hog runs his head into the open trap catch him just behind the ears by moving lever 2 to an upright positioft quick- ly. When you have your hog in the trap, you can ring him at your leisure. We have used this kind of device for ten years. There is no patent on it. To Prevent a Muddy Barnyard. Now I come to the only practical way I know of for making a decent barnyard—that is, to pave it with cob- blestones when they can be had with- out too mash trouble. The stones should be, we will say, about six inch- es in thickness. They should be laid with a great deal of care and the inter- stices filled with and. The stones should be pounded. down solid, even and smooth as ma,y be with a heavy wooden maid. Such a pavement will oorst something, it is true, but if put in right it is there to stay for all time. The manure can be cleaned off, as often as necessary, any time in the summer, and then there can be no mud tramped up. - It Will take about lave loads of stone and sand for each square rod of surface. A yard, five rods square, will take 125 loads and take a man two weeks to lay It good. In places where ,stone cannot be had the next best thing to do is to make a plank floor over the entire yard. e—C. P. Goodrich in Hoard's Dairyman. akeiae. FOALS IN WINTER. steat way to Wean Them mud an Cr. For Them Afterward. presuming that the foal has been taught to eat grain for at least a MOPth before weaning time, when the time comes te separate him from his dam place Isins in a good safe box stall, with no cracks or holes in which Ise Can get fast, and then remeve the dam far enough away so that it will be impos- sible for them to hear each other neigh. The foal will fret and fuss for a few honra but will soon give np, go to eat - jag and be conteut Water and feed should be kept in the stall at all times, so that be can help Isimeelf at any time he may ilesire. At the expiratiou of day or two. Nvben be gets somewhat ac- quainted *with the new smaonadings, a halter ebould be put ou him and he should be haudlcd in the stall, a few MinliteS each day in order to gentle him. When the halter is gra put on, leave the strap on it, and the colt will soon get used to it, mad it will 'make it taueh easier to cateb him until tbe fear wears off of him and he becomes gent fie. At the end of eight or ten days, when he has forgotten about bis dazn awl become gentle enough to be led about the stall, robbed all over and have his feet pielted up and handled without fear, be can then be led outside aud in a few lessons will be thoroughly halter brave. After being separated from leer foal the mare ehould be allowed to run out as before aed not coudued in a stable, as the exercise will be of great benefit to her. SIse ehould be milked twice a day for from five to eight days, accord - Mg to the quautity of milk she is giv- lug. Some mares aro much more easily dried up than others and requixe very attentiou, but, notwithstaudiug this fact a close watch ehould be kept on them iu order to be cis the safe side. Many pereans aro in the bait of using lotions and ungueuts in order to dry the milk up, while others practice milking the milk en a hot etoue; but WO feel sure there is much more imaginary than real beuelit derived from thee() remedies. How than the colt be fed and treated after lie is 'weaned? The old way was to pot him up in a barn and give him a quart of stein and scree bey twice or three times a day; but while be will live through the winter on this treat- ment as welt er poseibly better than be would if United out to rough it" on a Maw stack, we de not wecounneud either plata as in le case there is some feed and tie exerciee, while in the other there is all exercise and no feed. What is desired is to have the colt grow and develop as much as possible, and in or der to have him do this he must not only have all the nutritious food be will eat, but at the same tiMe all the oxer cise be will possibly take. In order to accomplish this the best plan NVO have tried or seen tried is to hep the (salt in a warm, comfortable and well von tilated box stall at night and out in an open lot diming the day. Do not go to the trouble of measuring his feed, but give him all be ‚will eat :miming, noon aud night. Mixed hay, half timothy and half clover, with corn blades added, is the best rashness be can have, while his allowance of grain should consist of a mixture ef crushed oats, two parts; c.rusbed rye and barley, eacli one part, and wheat bran, cue part. A small cratuitity of corn may be added now and then by way of ohmage, but it should be given in small quantities, as corn is very beatiug and for this reaeon is very poor food for colts. .iany farmers who hap- pen, to have plenty of corn on hand, but no oats, try to winter their colts on corn and literally burn them up in this way - so that they are ruined for life. It is much cheaper in the long run to sell the cern for balf price and buy oats and bran with the money than to try to win- ter the colt on corn. One other point that must not be for- gotten or neglected is that yon must have the feet trimmed and kept in bal- ance. This should be first attended to at the age of 5 months, when the colt is weaned, and afterward as often as is uecess.ary.—Kentucky Stock Farm. When a sheep is a year old, two large additional teeth appear in the front part of its lower jaw. According to English law, when these teeth appear the young animal is no longer a lamb, but a sheep. At 2 years old the sheep gets four large teeth in the middle of its lower jaw. At 3 years old it has six large permanent cutting teeth, and at 4 year's eight. When it is very old, its teeth begin to drop out, and those that remain are long and round like shoe Mse_ z.g.7 Live Stook Points. .A sheep is an animal that cannot stand wet feet. The three great beef breeds, Short- horns, Herefords and Aberdeen-Anguses, shared honors about equally at the Chi- cago live stook show, and the question is still unsettled which family is best. The treasury department has decided that cattle taken out of the -United States and returned again must pay duty like foreign animals if while they were away they have been improved in condition and value. This decision was made in the case of it bunch of cattle that had been driven from Texas 'into Mexico and there fattened. Ewes that are in good flesh and vig- orous condition at the time of breeding always produce large, fine lambs if they are kept so till the lambs are born. This matter of having ewes in fine con- dition at breeding time is not sufficient- ly attended to. It has been found that shredded fod- der is mnoh superior to cut fodder. Shredded fodder may be inowedsalosely in great quantity, the larger the bett since then it does not dry out so much. The Swine Breeder's Journal finds these three things are absolutely neces- sary to keep hogs free from disease— namely, caution in changing from one diet to another, only the purest water for them to drink, keeping them alto- gether out of dust.
