' "The present Emperor is a mere weak puppet in .the skillful hands of the Dow- ager lsnhpress, who, when he dies,. will .1111 his place as she pleases; and, as our friends, the party of Li Hung Chang, are in direct opposition to her, You can see what frightful chances we took when we decided to invade the Sacred Citf and have the royal seal attached to our papers. "Kai Wang was our guide, and none other, I believe, could have conducted us safely across the barriers that were intended to shut out the would-be in- truders. "I shall not linger, dear cousin, over this part of our adventure let it suffice that we penetrated beyond those frown- ing walls, perhaps the first foreigners who ever saw the secrets of the island palace, certainly the only ones who ever laughed to scorn the devices of the Cel- estials for strict privacy. "Yes, we even made our way to the presence of the unhappy Emperor, and our astonishing arrival gave him such slope for a new lease of life that he threw aside his wretched fear of the Empress, and, asserting his royal rights, signed and sealed the documents that meant millions to Dr. Jack, and for whioh the British -American syndicate will still pay millions to Dr. Jack's widow, for I have saved the papers, and no one, net even the powerful Dowager Empress, will dare dispute the royal seal. So much -for Kei Wang and his knowledge of how things should be conducted in the land of the dragon." Larry had done himself proud thus far, and had almost arisen to heights of eloquence in his burning zeal to tell the salient points connected with his adven- ture, so .that this brave and devoted woman might realize what perils they had faced in their endeavor to carry out the tremendous task which they had as- sumed. "It was while we were on our way back to the barrier, intending to leave the sacred city in the same way we had entered it, that we were betrayed by a man in whom we had put our trust, and whom Kai Wang afterward de- clared must have sold out to .the party of the Dowager Empress. "So we were suddenly set upon by the guard, and everything seemed lost. I saw Jack in the midst of a dozen; ,fight- ing fighting like a hero and piling up_ his foes before him in a barricade—lien he went down, and, as I said before, the Black Flags rushed in from all sides with up- raised swords. "Just at that moment I was .knocked down myself by Kai Wang, who drag- ged are off as though I were his indivi- dual property; but I shall never forget the diabolical shouts that came from the pirates who swarmed over poor Jack's body, "How the maker of gods managed to get me out of Peking alive and on board. a steamer for Canton I never have learned, but he did it, wonderful fellow that he is, and here at his own house 1 have lived, recovering from my wounds and waiting for you to come to claim the papers that will give you a fortune, and to mourn with me over ;the loss of the best fellow in all the wide, wide world." Poor Larry quite broke down at the finish, and great tears trickled down his cheeks; still Avis maintained her amaz- ing self -possession --the fountain of her tears seemed to have dried up, although Iher grief had taken on that stony na- ture which refuses to be comforted and find solace in woman's ordinary resort. 'The ways of Providence are past finding out, cousin, and we may never know why God's hand has been so heavily laid upon us. Others suffer daily just as bitterly—it is the common heritage of man to work and woman to weep, but though 1 would give much to cry, my brain seems hot and feverish, so that the tears refuse to flow. I am sure you understand. Perhaps I may have the blessed consolation of tears when I look upon the spot where my dear hus- band gave up his life in the endeavor do win the smiles of fickle fortune." Larry Kennedy opened his mouth to speak, but no sound came forth—in- deed. now that his worst fears had been • realized and he understood what mast Bel i:,": e had ente •ad the 1?afihei fif 11ja fair gouein, he began to tr8filu;c far- More than when the murderous emissaries of he Dowager Empress had assailed him hip and thigh, for it was not his own life that seamed in peril, but one more precious—even that of Avis. "That would be tempting Providence, my dear girl, and surely no good 0ou14 rn-le. of it," he finally: maneged to say, huskily. "Notwithstanding the peril, I should be satisfied with nothing less, nor could 1 know peace of mind in this world if I diel otherwise. I do not understand what this 'strange feeling is, but some- thing withinferries nue to deeire what 1 have said." "You may lose your life," he pleaded.

"Larry, 1 knew you would stand by Inc." "On one condition," he said, cunning- • ly°:, "Tell me what it is." "That you go with me to the British consul and see that these papers are placed in his bands, They insure e Y our future—the fortune Jack wrung from adverse destiny. Do you promise, cousin?" "Wherever you please, only let it Le soon," elle replied.. CHAPTER III. \V uen Avis begged Larry to lose as littleme as possible in conducting her to the British consul's public office, she had really no idea that he was in e. tit condition to force immediate action. Her own resolute bearing seemed to have aroused the other to renewed life, and he even showed much of his pris- tine liveliness as the hastened to clap his hands together, after •the Oriental fashion, in order to summon a servant. ICai Wang's presence was needed, for Larry dared not venture upon the streets of the Chinese city in his ordinary dress, since he, knew emissaries of the angry Dowager Empress were on the watch for a fellow about his size, and. his knowledge.of thugs and highbinders in general gave him at least a fair idea as to what would be done with him should these chivalrous secret agents of her -imperial majesty chance upon him in Canton's streets. As usual, the matter of images proved himself to be the man for the emer- gency. Larry was told to follow him into an adjoining apartment, and when he re- appeared a short timee later,Avis is would have experienced much ilcul- .ly in recognizing her cousin only for 'aha old familiar hop and a skip, by means of which he injected himself in- to the room. He was now a full-fledged Celestial, and the queue of black hair was so ar- ranged as to completely hide those mis- erable little blond tufts that projected alongside either ear, so dear to his heart that Larry would have as soon thought of yielding up his life as sacrificing his whiskers. There is always some weak spot in a man's armor, and with Larry it took the form of a positive adoration for those yellow clutches of hair which he caressed so tenderly, and was wild enough to believe constituted the main force of his claim to the'iitle of a "lady- killer." "Will I pass muster, cousin?" he de- manded as he went strutting up and down on his clogs and putting on all the airs of a mandarin in miniature. "Admirably, if you keep from speak- ing. That would be a fatal blunder, you. know." "Just so --stricken dumb as soon as I leave this room until you absolve me. Don't forget now, that is a good girl. How will you go—the sante way as you came, cousin?" asked Larry, once more dropping his levity. • "Why not? My coolies are wailing, and they are faithful; yes, -they shall bear me to the British consul." "And I shall be just behind, seated in a Tapanese jinrickshaw, where the eyes of the people may see and admire. I should imagine, by Jove, it isn't every day they are able to gaze upon,so noble - looking and richly -dressed a mandarin. They'll be rubbing their noses in the dirt .before my trlumphal progress. Notice this peculiar collar Kai Wang in- sisted on giving me --the design is unique; but only those in . the secret know that it designates the loyal, fol- lowers of the Emperor•, the party of the great viceroy, which the dowager seeks to disrupt fax her own personal gains." "Are we to' go now? The evening is not far away, and much needs to be done." Who could blame her for -being eager, this brave soul, who had suffered the most staggering blow that could come from outrageous fortune? True, her hopes • did not amount to more than .the mournful desire of look- ing upon the spot made sacred by her husband's life blood, but even 'such a motive may assume a force that drives all else before it. • Kai Wang, who seemed proud of his Werk, heWen rind nodded end sinned a„ he led the way, Avis could not but marvel what was the secret of this wonderful devotion to Dr. Tack and all that pertained to his fortunes; it was, not enough that the Chinaman was also deeply interested in the grand Anglo-American concession ivili! I1.- 111111 _ beenata,suceessfully ,e11gLh veered, though at the, cost of a"precious life it seemed, nor yet that the maker of idols belonged to the party of the great Li; .there Faust be something else, some eau,,: more personal, that bound Kai Wittig to the American with such - sub- lime affection. Wito knew better than Avis what a wonderful power there had been in the personality of her ,Jack? She had her- self experienced it from the very begin- ning of her aequaintanec with the doc- tor, and had. seen him sway marry people under the influence, of his stead- fast. will. There was no time now En consider Mgt matters; all would be made clear in. the future, should heaven Smile upon their enterpr i ia?,..,and. a safe return be made, l'resenlly she had again vanishers be- hind the curtains of gorgeous yellow sfike and her sttnit coolie bearers were heading onee more .for tine region where European euetorns heal sway. • And behind came a jhn'icicslna.W, in which Larry 'wins sprawled in e fashion that might lraVe aroused curiosity and a h.nnloF'ottl Sensation in the breast of a foreigner, but which ai peered to strike the crowds of burden -bearers and loungers in the streets 08 gx.ceedingly dramatic and majestic on the part of a prated, and mighty mandarin, who wore the blue velvet collar, and scattered handfuls, of copper cash to the ; importu- nate though respectful beggars. Lt was fortunate for Larry ,chat sus dis- guise proved to be so effecti'ele con- structed, for these same smiling and bowing crowds would .have rent the air with their enraged cries had they known the truth, and made it pretty hot around that region for a fraudulent mandarin about his size. At least the was discreet in so far as he remembered his vow, and through all his expansive smiling not an intelli- gible syllable escaped his lips. Strange though the scenes around might be, Avis expressed little curiosity concerning 'them. Her own sorrow weighed too heavily ‘upon her heart for amusement to find lodgment there. Thus they wound in and out, heading for that favored island section of the Chinese southern metropolis where European and American progress. had brought order out of chaos—where cleanliness could be found, clear drink- ing water obtained and the ordinary comforts of civilization enjoyed. Once .Avis parted the curtains and eagerly surveyed the scebe spread out on one side. They had reached a spot where a fair glimpse could be obtained of the crowded mart from whence they had just issued previous to crossing the canal that separated them from the European section, and the spectacle was bound to appeal even toher depressed state of mind. It may be conjectured she was not sorry when they left the narrow streets with their swanning tens of thousands behind, and entered upon brighter scenes, where the comfort of present and future generations was the prime consideration, rather than a stilted. re- spect for dead and gone ancestors. And finally the coolies lowered their burden in front of a building, over the door of which floated the familiar flag of Great Britain. Avis waited for Larry, who was close at hand, and it was a sight for the gods to see the eccentric and polite little man- darin assisting the veiled lady from her vehicle of transportation. At least one pair of eyes , in the con- sulate building viewed the highly dine matte proceedings with considerable. amusement. Thus Larry escorted sin into the d his s , rou public offices where the business was carried on. Fortunately, just at this hour there chanced to be a dearth pf ship captains and English travelling merchants at the consulate, looking after their invofce5, so that the opportunity seemed favor- able for a speedy transaction of the business that had brought. them hillier. Once under the beneficent shelter of that friendly flag, Larry no longer deemed it necessary to carry out his part as a mandarin; he even indulged in a few sly tugs at the ridiculous little yellow tufts of hair that had worked out from behind the disfiguring queue. The gentleman at the window, s,,a�big, broad shouldered fellow, had riot tui ied as. yet, and seeing that Larry for some reason was backward about addressing him, Avis started to unfasten her veil. At this moment Larry glided forward with a stage -like movement, tapped the gentleman sharply on the shoulder, and, as he turned, pointed with his thumb toward Avis, and then made a most pro- found salaam. Avis stood there rooted to the spot. Though years had passed since last her eyes beheld the owner of that face, she had not forgotten that some of the most painful hours in her existence had been caused through his instrumental- ity. • "Lord Beckett Plympton I", she 'mur- mured, almost unconsciously speaking his name. The big Englishman's face grew red- der than ever; he even took an eager step forward and half extended his hand, only to let it fall again when he saw alarm rather than pleasure upon the sad yet beautiful face before him. "Avis—Mrs. Dr. Evans—I am delight- ed to see you again. You have not ,for- gotten me; allow me -to hope that with the passage of • years you have at least forgotten nay madness of that day, re- membering the cause. No one could deplore it more sincerely than myself. I have never been able to atone for such base conduct. Pray, let bygones be for- gotten -be merciful, be kind 1" She saw that he was sincere, and what woman can long continue to de- spise one who has been led to sin through the 'madness of his love for her ? Besides, there were other reasons to induce her to accept the truce. Larry had started back when he caught sight of the other's face; alarm seemed to have swept over ihe little elan; his recollection of "Many stirring scenes associated with milord were not such ?5 inspired Confidence in his friendship, and Larry's first instinctive act was to try and draw a weapon ; but, alas! the mandarin's sword with which the had been endowed by the gen- erous Kai Wang could not have seen the light of day, at least since the •Tai -Ping rebellion, for' it was hermetically sealed to the. scabbard, and obstinately re fused .to budge an inch, despite his frantic endeavors. Then, to Larry's intense amazement, he. saw Avis hold out her hand, with the. intention of making friends with this former enemy. Ile could hardly restrain himself, but was compelled to jump up and down, being deprived of speech through hie rash tow, and in this way signify 'his disapproval of the truce. Lord Plympton appeared to be sin- cere, end his face lrnd an honest, con- trite look that went further .shall: words to drolaro his regret for the past. "I have Haver .forgotten that, ride on the motor, plunging down the Susque- hanna valley, and how you cowed the fire-eating Chilthn -colonel before the engine -driver tossed him overboard. That sntasih of -the train ended ,the busi- ness for me; it eves on my arra Dr. Jae tanned ashen lie was assisted to at place of safet„t.

"Then trust xne." Larry souks stand it no longer, but, taking hold of his cousin's arta, he caught her attention and shook his head violently iii the negative, pointed to the big Englishman, 'then to himself, rapped. on his puffed -out little that vigorous- ly, and ended by again making a futile attempt to dreg his unw;llling keel from its scabbard. 'flits astonhing pantomime was notwithout its effect upon flue other; at dist 110 had boon puzzled to account fax the strange actions of one who should, ac- cording to his exalted station, be the epitome of dignity; but when he detec- ted one of the supposed mandarins noble figure you cut, my boy—such dignity, such wonderful grace 1 If his highness, the Emperor, could only see hands. steeling up to feel for Its cus- tunlal'y solace, a great light suddenly burst upon milord. ""What 1 Larry Kennedy, too, and in flus disguise 1 Bless my soul l What a you, nothing at his disposal would be refused. Evidently" Lord Beckett had not for: gotten that the one weakspot in Larry s armor was his vanity, ,and lie knew how to open the door of his heave Such base flattery considerably molli- fied the excited little man, though he was loth to accept the hand which the other offered, and, while finally doing so, obeyed the look he received from Avis rather than the dictates of his own heart. "I don't blame you a bit, my dear fel- low; words are cheap enough, Heaven knows; let actions prove the depth of my repentance. And now. Mrs. Evans, how can I .serve you - and your hus- band 9" This brought to her mind the recol- lection of what a calamity had befallen her. "I am in trouble, Lord • Beckett, and I have come here to ask the consul's as- sistance." "He is out of the city for the present.' "Thatis a misfortune." "But I represent him meanwhile, and whatever lies in the power of an Eng- lish gentleman to do, that you ;maty count upon." There was something in his voice to" inspire confidence; o,.ce she had feared and even hated this man because the prseouted her with his mad love ; but Lord Beckett had evidently seen •a great light in the years that had since flown, and his character had taken on a newer polish more in keeping with his posi- tion insac e i t Y• "Now " ow toll . me what has happened 7 he said, after he had brought her a seat. "I have lost my husband," she re- plied, steadily. The other started and seemed shocked Once the had even vigorously pushed a scheme having for its definite object the removal of this same Dr. Jack, nor had he hesitated to apply all his ener- gies' to carrying out the infamous undertaking. Such a complete change had time made in his character that he now viewed this catastrophe with dismay and horror, as it brought to mind the mis- demeanors of the past, so that they stood out in glaring letters, and ac- cused him of having once conspire& to ward the same end..

Clover or alfalfa hay is just the thing for calves Never give more grain then will he eaten up clean in a few minutes. Halterbreak the calf and avoid trouble later when you are to handle her. Keep the calf pails scrupulously clean. Bowel trouble starts from filthy pails. Give access to hay or grass, and na- ture will urge their• use. A small grain ration daily will then not injure, - Scours are the result of either filthy quarters, unclean pails or over feeding. Prevention is better than cure: Dehorning is a surgical operation and should not be done •carelessly. We've seen blind calves as a result of careless application of the dehorning fluid. Teach the calf to eat ground oats, oil- meal, or shelled corn by placing some r.; the hand' and rubbing on the calf's mouth after it has taken thee milk. The calves should be, confined in stanchions when fed, and so fixed that they cannot suck ears. Give them liberty after they have eaten their dry feed. - The baby cow needs a little sympathe- tic care and the exercise of judgment to rhalca it grow without a stop and become as fin milkerea as its ,sm other. The newborn calf must have the first milk of the cow as a physic. If the cow dies in calving, give castor oil or flax seed in whole mills: Clean out the bow- els the first thing. There is a theory afloat•that the dairy calf must not be fed so as to get fat, lest it becomes a beef animal. This is devoid of reason and demonstration. Type is not so easily changed. I Make the calf the family pet. Early accustom it to lea&and to be tethered by a strap to the hind foot. As a ma- ture cow 11. twill then give no trouble, and will be worth more to. keep or to sell. 1 Put the calf in a clean, dry, sunny' pen. White scours, or calf cholera, is a germ disease that enters the calf , through the naval cord .before it has dried and healed. It comes from lying in finhy pens. If the calf comes on a cold day, and you did not give the cow liberty to lick the baby, the calf may be chilled through. Get busy. Bub it dry with bay and cloths and blanket the Bene fel-1 low until it quits shivering. At the end of a week skiin milk may be 'gradually substituted for the whole milk. Always have 'the milk sweet and j blood warm—no more. no less. The young calf can't stand sudden changes in quality or temperature of milk. Deharn the calf as soon as you take it from the cow. The new born calf seems to be in sort of a stupor and does rot feel" the drug as keenly as after it gets frisky. Of course the cow Faust not be allowed to lick the head or you will detongue her. Feed at least three times a day for a couple or three weeks. Five quartos of whole milk a day is sufficient for the start and the calf should not be getting aver seven quarts at the end of the third ; or fourth week. This makes a single feed of. a• little Over two quarts, instead I of half a pail full as many thinks is nec- essary. Milk is the baby's most natural food. Give it to the calf, also; and as long as you can spare it—three months, at the least. If you have been feeding whole milk, change • gradually to skimmilk when the bossy is a month old. Add a teaspoonful of wheat. middlings; slowly increase this as the milk ration becomes poorer, until it will bear a half pint.

Don't worry over lost. opportunities. DId you ever stop to think that you "lost" through oversight innot looking ahead. Let the past go. Ilemeuhber the lesson it has taught. Brace, up and do better next time. When the dry spots appear in the early spring on the fall plowed ground intended for corn, use the disc so as to afford a soil mulch and avoid evapora- tion of moisture before planting time., Do not fail to test your planter' with iihc seed you intend to use and stay with IL until it drops regularly the number of kernels - required in each hill. A good time to do this is right now. Talk up your business., If you've got anything to sell that is good, 'don't be afraid to let your friends and prospec- live bnyci's know about it. Tho success- ful farmer is a good salesman. Good salesmanship is needed on the fain]. Ile sowing grass seed it is better to sow too much than too little. The trou- ble with many farmers Is Ilial, owing to high prices of grass seed, they arc in- clined to sow .seed sparingly. No greater mistake can be made., Use good,. clean seed and plenty of it.; -,Sorno men cultivate soil merely fo kill Weeds. This is Wroiig. Tillage should improve 'the filth and save far - nifty. There will then be 110 weeds.. There are some who contend crops use soil bodily. This is a raislalte.

We usually try some of the: new things every year. Never think ofd buying them by the wholesale, but study up those things that �th, nk will help and try them out, usually, inf a small way. Just because we are getting warm days' now and then is no reason for leaving the cows and calves out in the raw. wind. Nothing is much worse for stock! that have been comfortably housed all' w inter than to let them out in a chilling spring wind. It will take a lot of extr fled to °orient such a mistake. AN EXCEPTION. '` What man has done man may do, is an old saying and It covers nearly everything but raising a moustache. "Be sure to 'agree with the girl's fa, tlier in politics," said .ihc experienced man, giving hints to the young lover. That. night, after he had enjoyed the young lady's society for an hour, her father came in, and the youth started conversation by asking : "What is your opinion of the Moroccan Question?" "1 am in favor of the open-door policy," said the old gentleman, stiffly; ' "and this is your hat, I believe?" - Many a golden opportunity •has been wrecked for want of a genius to throw the switch.
