CHAPTER II.—(Continued). '
"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

than when the murderous emissaries of

huskily.

thing withinferries nue to deeire what 1

"Larry, 1 knew you would stand by

"On one condition," he said, cunning-

"Tell me what it is."
"That you go with me to the British
consul and see that these papers are

future—the

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

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

"Perhaps that lam has come," said
Avis, looking him straight in the ryes.
"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.

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-

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-

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..

CALF JOTTINGS.
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.
FARM NUGGETS.
.It is all right to be just a little ahead
cf your neighbor with farm work, bat
don't get nervous about starting .the.
piow. Better wait until the ground is
ready; then push things.
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. They
two only the plant food contained in
the soli, leaving the earth, to outward
appearance,, the same as before.
Don't become an old fogy and Miele
too long to the beaten track while the
fright, up-to-date fellow is taking- hold
of • ideas. Look out for unproved imp
plements. 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

Poultry raising pays.
People who tell you that there is no
money in raising chicks may have tried
to make money in the business by using
setting hens as hatchers, and they
might as well have tried to locate a
gold mine in the cabbage patch. The
business of a ben is -to lay eggs. As
a hatcher and brooder she is out-
classed. That's the business of the
Chatham Incubator and Brooder, and
they do it perfectly and successfully.
The poultry business, properly con-
ducted, pays far better than any other
business for the amount of time and
money invested.
Thousands of poultry-raisers—men
and women all over Canada and the
United Stales—have proved to their
satisfaction that it is profitable to raise
chicks with the
No. 1— 60 Eggs
