They had much to talk over in the new light that had corse to them ; Tar- •leas project: were constantly offering a nand for dis uesion, and ideas were ad- van:ed on the spur of the moment, only to be as hastily set aside. Larry was transfigured, so to speak. He seemed to have received new life, his eyes glowed and his while form was imbued with an electric zeal that told of newly -amused hope. Up to this hour he had never dared indulge in the faintest expectation that Dr. Jack could have survived the hor- roes of that night; he had, much against his will, felt compelled to be- licve the gallant American as lostbe- yond recall. The more he considered Plympton's theory on the subject, the stronger grew his hopes. It was withal se reasonable. Petoskey and his Chinese allies high in authority, knew a trick or two, and Dr. Jack alive would be worth ten times as much to their interests as the same individual dead, since he could be made the medium for the. transfer of the contract—signed and sealed by . the ill-fated Emperor during that raid on the Sacred Palace within the Purple City—utterly regardless of the Tsung• Lt -Yemen or Chinese foreign office. It could be readily guessed that sleep did not visit the nervous little pian in any large doses during this night, and that upon his cot he restless- ly continued the game of scheming and planning that occupied his working hours. What Plympton had suggested en- larged the scope of their adventure. It was no longer a mere sentimental journey, whereby Avis might satisfy a strange desire to look upon the fatal spot where the life blood of her dearly beloved Jack had stained the marble of the imperial palace court or the pave without. Perhaps their mission would lead to a much more desperate game, entailing a bold rescue. The very thought thrilled Larry every time it flashed through his brain. ors were debarred; ff venturesome ;nen will take their lives thus reckless- ly in their hands they must not com- plain if trouble ensues. He was particularly sorry, because he chanced to have known Evans person- ally and had a very high opinion of hum. Besides, as Dr. Jack was an Ameri- can, it would be the duty of his own minister to take up the case and en- deavor to effect his release, though the chances were, such a demand would fall flat upon the ears of the Chinese officials, who would deny most vehemently that they had ever held a. prisoner in the confines of the Sacred City, and meanwhile secretly slake way with him. "The only thing I can. promise, Lord Rickett, is this," said the official gen- tleman, in. conclusion ; "should you be so fortunate as to rescue your friend and reach this office, rest assured that the moment Dr. Jack steps under the folds of that flag over our door, all the power of Russia afid China combined. may not lay hands on hien again. And I will promise you a safe conduct on board a British war vessel in the bar- gain." "Enough. A thousand thanks 1" cried Plympton, shaking hands in his usual vigorous fashion and then rushing away. e He believed his work was cut out for him, and something within told that it was to be the greatest event in his al- ready checkered career. There was no use of appealing to the American minister, after what he had heard. He fully believed that the first diplo- matic move made would be the signal for Dr. Jack's death, in case he was a prisoner in the palace dungeons. That was Chinese treachery. • Upon the successful issue of their little project bis life really depended. Should they ignominiously fail, there remained one dernier ressort. The papers l These might be surrendered in ex- change for the prisoner, yet a man of Lord Rackett's nature hated to come to such a conclusion but needs must when the devil drives ; and after a man has thoroughly exhausted all his resources, it sometimes becomes absolutely neees- EIe was glad when morning came, sary for him to bow down before =- since the time of probation had been cumstances and let them ride over him shortened. Another day. Larry, knowing that he was virtual- ly a proscribed personage in Peking circles, understood that wisdom would dictate a course of seclusion on his part, or at least that he be very coy about venturing beyond the European section of the bustling Chinese capital. 'This had no bearing on Lord Hack.- ett, and to him was given the task of arranging such matters as would be necessary after their raid. It was indeed unfortunate that. Per ling was not situated like Shanghai.. on the sea, or like Canton, on a great river. Had this been the case, the flight could easily have been arranged by so astute a diplomat as Lord Hackett. Indeed it might have been accom- plished much In the same way as marked the flight of Dr. Jack and his party from the Golden Horn when they had effected the rescue of Aleck-tkat brother of Avis who had been shut up in the dungeon under the palace of a constantinople pasha—by means of a speedy steam yacht. Such an element being entirely out of the question in the present instance.' they were compelled to accept just' what the gods deigned to allow. There is always one element of ptrength in a case where a British sub- ject finds difficulties crowding him on a foreign strand. This is the British ambassador or minister: and should there be none handy, then the consul, with his sacred flag, will do as well. No one knew this better than Lord Hackett, and his first move in the morn- ing was to seek an audience with Sir Claude MacDonald. To liis dismay he found the minister was temporarily absent, looking up some matters that were in dispute with the Russian representative, M. Pavloff- Of. course he was represented, and full authority remained to carry out in his absence all he might have ventured if at home. Lord Beckett made a clean breast of the matter, in order to get advice. The story excited much interest, but hardly awakened enthusiasm. The diplomatic gentleman seemed to know just where to draw the line be- tween his sympathy of man foreman, and the caution that . must mark his action as a representative of a great, but at present isolated nation, in a stale to be easily pushed into a war with Russia. As a man he could sympathize with Plympton and wish him God-spoed in his venture. When his advice was asked concern- ing the matter as a representative of England's ambassador, he became as ratite as a clam itr some respects, True, It appeared an outrage that a gentleman should be at upon, and either murdered or thrown into a dun- geon, because, forsooth, he had out- witted the Russian and Chinese plot - fere who conspired to overwhelm an Anglo-American combination for the building of Chinese roilroada and the working of mines through a royal concession.. Then came the ugly part of It. roughshod as it were. How he put in that day, Plympton might have found it difficult to tell later. He was something every minute of time, so it seemed. Besides, he knew his actions were being spied upon more or less, and he took it upon himself to undertake some extravagant things that were apt not only to puzzle those who watched, but make their eyes fairly stare with amaze- ment. Plympton had a vein of humor under the grimexterior that marked , his usual manner, and he made up his mind that since these worthies were seeking to discover a mare's nest. he might as well arrange something to astonish them. It would serve a useful purpose also, since in doing this he would be apt to distract their attention front the real issue. No one could play the game to better advantage than this exile from London. He had seen pearl divers, menaced by a shark above, stir up the sand vio- lently with the stick they carried, and while the water filled with sediment concealed their movements from the watchful enemy, change their position and rise in safety to the boats. More than once Plympton thought the whole affair would serve as a popu- lar attraction if served up with the proper sauce at the Globe, the Drury Lane or the Criterion theatres, in , the world's metropolis, and the reflection broug a smile upon his stern coun- tenance. ouptenance. Still he was glad to see old Phoebus' smiling face drop near the western. horizon; and night draw near. True, it meant that the time for planning was at an end, and action must take Its place. It has always been observed that when a brave man has figured out a dangerous campaign, whereby he places his own life in jeopardy, an eager anxiety takes possession of him to plunge into the whirlpool. He naturally desires to know the worst, to face the music and either win out, or by losing, end all. At least the suspense, which hourly grew more and more unbearable, would be ended. So Lord Hackett saw the golden sun set, bathed in a crimson field, with a sensation of relief ; he felt very much as might the warrior when, all prelim- inaries having been. satisfactorily Set- tled, he grasps his trusty sword, swings himself into the, saddle and starts to meet the foe. If Plympton's feelings were thus reckoned intense what dould be said of poor Larry? He had spent an awfully wretched day, and seeretly avowed that he had aged ten years since their arrival in Peking. Much of his time was passed in the society of Avis, end he was compelled to be constantly on his guard for fear of dropping some hints concerning the matter which, it had been agreed be- tween Lord Racleott and, himself, should be kept secret, A number Of times he started to say something, and Would then let his voice die away in a mumble or end in The urifortuniate gentleman had gone a strange laugh, where It %Vas Iva -tnown that foreign- Avis thought hi her heart his recent experiences had touched floor Larry's brain, and site felt sorry to see such a thing, He must be taken away from these scenes as soon as possible, so that amid new surroundings he might for- get the events of that terrible night that had deprived him of a friend and made her a widow. So these two, each concerned for the Other, carried on a double part during the whole day, and .both were glad when darkness began to once more' settle over noisy Pelting. . Ere another ' day dawned, please Eleaven, they would have made the hazard and either won or lost all, CHAPTER XXVI. The time for action had arrived. Lord Beckett announced ,this when he came in after the others had waited anxiously hours for him in the little private parlor. Avis seated by the window where her straining eyes could catch glimpses of the shining roof of the mystic palace over the walls of the Forbidden City, and Larry tramping back and forward with the restless movements of a caged tiger. They rejoiced to know the agony of waiting was now to be relegated to the past. Everything was ready. Plympton had done his duty well, and neglected nothing that would serve to enhance the chances of suc- cess of which he and Larry dreamed. The two men indulged in a conversa- tion aside, during which Plympton told what he had done, and was assured on the pant of the little man that he hacl been careful not to betray the facts i0 Avis, Perhaps it would have been the part of wisdom to have taken her into their confidence, for Avis was a remarkable woman, and could have• controlled her- self as well as Larry himself. They thought otherwise, and yet her comfort was the sole motive that in- fluenced them --it would be such a ter- rible disappointment if there should be no prisoner, or in case, after effecting his rescue, he turned out to be some one else besides her husband,, Dr. Jack. These 'motives had Rept their lips sealed thus far, and they continued to influence them. Should great good fortune await them in their daring venture, they felt assured it would be just as joyful an event for Avis as though she had an- ticipated nticipated such a thing, and wrestled desperately with alternate hopes and fears. Nor did, they anticipate any evil re- sult. Both believed in the maxim that joy never kills, as might the shock of sud- den grief. Lord Hackett looked at his watch. It was the fourth time he had con- sulted his timepiece since entering. "Wemust be moving," he said. . Larry actually smiled, he felt so re- joiced to know the game was open. "It is killing me, comrade," he said, aside, to Plympton, and the latter could not but notice how haggard the little man had become, though some- what in doubt as to whether hisstate of mind were caused by anxiety over the uncertainty of Dr. Jack's fate, or his wretched condition as custodian of a gra.ve secret. Mercifully, Lord Rockett concluded the former was the case. "A few hours will relieve you, old man. Cheer up, and hope for at least a modicum of that luck which you have told me was almost invariably Evans' portion in the past." And Larry, realizing that much might depend upon him in the matter, reso- lutely threw aside this feeling, and be- came his old self. That meant a sagacious little man, ready to meet any question, however puzzling, in the true spirit of the tour- nament. Under Lord Rackett's guidance they quitted the hotel. He knew where he was taking them, and how to avoid the espionage of those cunning native spies who had been deputed to hover upon their track while they were in Pelting. Arrangements had been made with Foo Chong, the agent of the Canton god -maker, to have his reliable guide at a certain place, where disguises and all necessary adjuncts to the desperate venture might be found. One thing bothered them. Would their presence in Peking cause the authorities to redouble their vigilance in connection with the walled- in city? It did not seem possible that, they could have guessed in any measure. what the real object of our friends com- ing to the Chinese capital might be. And yet, if it were true that the mys- terious prisoner of the palace could be Dr. Jack, they might take the alarm, fearing lest he had been able in some strange way of telegraphy without wires to communicate with his friends, and thus the guards of the Purple City would be strengthened, besides being warned to keep on the watch for. strangers. And then there was another thing that gave Lord Beckett uneasiness. He . believed there might be some measure of truth in: the floating rumor that reached him while in Canton that the Emperor of China was about to be secretly deposed by the Dowager Em- press and another puppet placed in his stead. How unfortunate It would be, he tlury!ght, if this strange change were destined to be made on ttie very night they had selected as the one e on which their venture might be putto the test. Well, the three sisters of Fate have considerable to do with all events in. this world --chance seems to enter into every game of our life from birth to marriage and to the grave ; and wise people simply do their duty and leave the rest in the hands beyond their Ion, Plympton guided them safely enough to the appointed rendezvous. Herr 1', \ finch h,y' a Chinaman Who !.` ^' \ III :or;nod them that he had twee Cliental by Foo Ceong to serve them in the matter. Lord Tracked entered into a little con= versaticn with him, and seemed quite satisfied, Larry, however,: eyed • the native with not a little suspicion.

If the best results are desired, grow- ing chicks sltmuld have proper care and attention during the summer months, writes Mr. EI, E, Haydock.

Thisfnte wiafterll preventoowill thebe 0001) from getting so thoroughly heated as to make it uncomfortable at night. Habit is strong in chicles and they will return 00 an overheated or full coop, when they should be more comfortable and roomy quarters. They may not die i,f. left to themselves; they will probably take to the fence or trees to escape from such a coop, but they will pay the penalI. in poor growth lack of vigor and weak ness, either at that time, or later in life for this lack of care on the owner's part It is well to remember that chicks grow fast and a coop that had been plenty large enough for brood when young, will soon become too small, and overcrowding and in consequence injury to their health and growth will result More room should be given at once i overcrowding is noticed. either by pro viding larger coops or dividing the broods. If coops and brooders aro cleaned frequently, little reason will bo found to complain of that great pest lice, which otherwise might be the cause of weakness and stunted growth. No only it is important that the coops be kept clean, but the ground in their im mediate vicinity should not be allowed to become foul. It will be found best to give growing chicks as much range as possible. I necessary to confine them, have as large yards as can be provided. Chicks should he fed from the older fowls. If al are fed together, they will be apt to ge an insufficient amount of food and the older fowls will receive too much and it consequence, become too fat. The chicks seem to get plenty of grain, on accoun of their .activity, but when one thinks that this activity is in a great measure caused by their having to dodge - the pecks of older fowls, it will be seen that they are not allowed to pick up as much food as they have the appearance of doing. Regularity in feeding is an other important matter. If chicks are fed, at certain times when on free range it will be found that they will be near or about the feeding place at the time and all will share alike, whereas if they are fed any old time, some may have wandered off in search of bugs and in sects and therefore miss their portion. While I consider that after a certain age a mash fed' to the growing chicks is a help to their development, if 'giver for a change and in'moderatien, it wil be found best to confine oneself in the main to dry feeding,` as in the earlier 'stages of a chick's life. One of the most important things to be considered during the summer is the water supply. The water should be kap in some vessel or fountain that will pre vent the chicks from walking in it, or else the water should be changed fre quently. The fountain should of course always be placed in a Shady spot and the water changed often. It is well to remember in raising pure bred fowls that a growing chick, as 1 nears maturity, will in a measure mol gradually, so that it does not do to con demn a chick at once for a few darker or lighter feathers than standard, as these will be in all probability replac- ed by the right colored feathers when the chick reaches maturity. SUMMERING THE P1G. With the present outlook for good prices for pork, the producers can care for and feed the pigs, with the assurance that they will be well repaid. The large supply of old corn available to feed in connection with pastures, makes the op- portunity to secure a good profit oa the pigs that are on hand . an ideal one. Grain, house slops, skim milk or whey, fed while the pigs get a good supply cf grass and some exercise in the open field, will make pork cheaply and of the best quality, writes Mr. N. A. Clapp. At present the system of pork produc- tion is a well-defined one and generally undersfood. Instead of keeping pigs until they are from a year to 1% or 2 years old before I begin to crowd them and fatten for market, I begin while the pigs are yet young and crowd them along to a weight that the market de- mands. But few are kept on the farm until they are more than ten months old, I now have two crops of pigs, one in the fall and the other during the spring. Some who feed their pigs largely cn grain and crowd them to marketable weights at six months of age, sell them in April and May, .Others prefer to feed less grain through' the winter, let the pigs eat more clover, corn fodder, roots and cheaper feeds until grass starts. They then make a rapid growth withthe dairy wastes, .3n which to mix the meal or mill feed. A good share it the feed is gathered from the fields. This method gives excellent butcher's pork, and is also an excellent plan to follow in producing the present very popular bacon hog. Pigs fed' along in this man- ner can be ripened up and sold during August and September, when good pric- es, almost invariably, prevail. The odds and ends on the farm, that furnish v great variety of feeds. are converted into palatable meat,that is eagerly sought for by the fastidious consumer3 of butcher's meats and bacon.

Start the pigs early in life, as the weight can be produced cheaper while the pigs are young than later in life. Another point worthy of consideration Is establishing the thrifty habit, which enables the pigs to snake more meat for a given amount of feed consumed, than those whose stomachs have not been ex- panded and have not the habit of rapid growth and development. - It is presumed that the most of the pigs have had an opportunity to eat a long time before they are weaned from the sow. They have ben given an Owe - dance of exercise, pure air and a variety of feeds which has taken them past the period when diseases of various kinds atllict those that are closely penned and fed only corn. Now is the Lime to begin to feed for rapid growth and profits. if middlings are mixed with the corn meal, scalded and mingled with the skim milk, buttermilk, , whey or house slops and these are fed warm and in- quantities which can be readily eaten up clean, at least four times per day, while they get a run at the June grass, clover, rape or any of the forage plants that they relish, they are ready to make pork faster and cheaper than at any time later in life, The spring pigs are the ones that can be utilized to consume the waste fruits from the orchard and garden, glean the stubbles and)be ripened for market on -the poor'corn of the present year's crop. They will reach the marketable weight In the late • fall and early winter. FROld THE TOMB OF ANTINOUS. Explorer Gayet Brings Back Some Rare Gilded Mummies. M. Gayet, the explorer of the tombs of Antinous In Egypt, has returned to Paris, bringing with him some gilded mummies the like of which are not in any European museums, nor even in Cairo. One was shown in the exhibition of 1900, butwas returned to some pri- vate collection in Egypt. M. Gayet is especially proud of one, which was call- ed the favorite of Antinous. EIe speaks lovingly of her dark brown hair, which, clusters thickly 1110 bunches of black grapes. In life she was one of the cour- tesans who vowed service to Antinous, the Egyptian Bacchus, 'behind Whose car she leaped and danced, symbolizing the renewed youth of the year awak- ened by the caresses of the god of springtime. M. Gayet discovered much even in the name of this mummy from an adept in the hidden sciences, whose name he keeps a secret. He will give this man an object to hold and he can call before him its first owner. Gayet tells a story of how he first tested this man by giving him a forged scarab, saying it was an- cient and had just been brought from a tomb. The adept held the scarab in his hands and Gayet, who expected to' hear some faked up story of old Egypt, heard with surprise an exact description of the fellate who had made the scarab a week before for him. Then M. Gayer gave the expert a ring of virgin gold which had lain 2,000 years. in the tonb beside the favorite of Antinous. The seer blew lightly, in order to drive away the effect of the . mystery to -day as ever it was ; but they. I should succeed in saving him from the, gallows, he would never be satisfied; until he had murdered me. I asked a very wealthy mare on one occasion how he had succeeded in ac- cumulating such a vast sum of money.; He said, It has been Rio rule of my Ute; to rub up against men that have money; some of It sticks to nee. I avoid men that,; have no money." Another golden rule in leesiness 13 never to lend money wthout good se-! curity. It is a very curious fact that people who wound be ashamed to cheat' thele grocer or their butcher, never think of repaying borrowed money. There is an old saying about a bird in the hand being worth two in the .bush in money matters, however, "a dollar in the pocket is worth a hundred in the bush." An American. once advertised that he was able lo inform anyone how they could get rich, providing they sent 25 cents. Ilis advice was very simple and direct : "Work very hard and don't spend a cent." A BRETON WEDDING. Poor People Set Up Housekeeping By Presents from Friends. A. typical Breton weddtng is as cur, ous as it is Improvident. So poor often are the young pair that the only way, they can set sup housekeeping is by pre- seats from their friends of food, flax, furniture and money. The youth de- siroas of matrimony simply offers his hand to the object of his choice. If site accepts she must confirm her acquies- cenoo by drinking wine with him. Her father's consent is asked by proxy, the, deputy holding a piece of furze during nee interview. The father usually offers an old woman, a young widow, and a' child, before granting the request. On the wedding day a cowherd leads round the village an ox -waggon laden' with the wedding furniture. Oa the top' of this load two maidens are seated, one spinning hemp and the other flax. The bride shows her fine breeding by making her friends drat her to church. On either side of the altar burns a waste taper, and it is expected that whichever of the two is nearest to the least bril- liant light will die first. The bride on leaving the church, is e presented with a distaft to remind her of her duties. Tripe, butter, buckwheat bread, and cider form the marriage feast, towards which each .guest pays his portion. At nightfall, according to an ancient custom, the mother gives her daughter a handful of nuts. The happy pair are serenaded, and are served with soup containing crusts threaded together, In symbol of unity. ; TEE BENEFIT OF HOSPITALS. Bishop of London Draws Lessons From The Mystery of Pain. The Bishop of London, preaching on Hospital Sunday at St. Mary's Church, Bryanston -square, Marylebone, Lon- don, said that pain was as great a later touches, and then pressed lus forehead. He had never seen the cour- tesan's mummy, but described the favorite as she was wrapped for the tomb. He described how she danced in procession and told an intimate story of her life as an example of how she out of wantonness would pierce doves to the heart with a long gold pin of her headdress. He told even the name of the dead woman, which was Artenin- isle, GOLDEN RULES FOR SUCCESS. Sir Hiram S. Maxim Gives Sonie Good Advice. In writing on "the Golden Rules for Success in Bustuess," it would appear to me that I can only occupy the place of the "horrible example," and point out what should be avoided if one wishes to succeed. Quite true, I leave been suc- cessful in my profession, and have man- aged to hold on to a considerable por- tion of my earnings. If, however, I had known as much of this wicked world and of my fellow men thirty years ago as I know at the present moment, I could have been vastly more successful. I have been brought into contact with two different kinds of niers. One class has exploited my inventions, and I am glad to say that collectively they have made a great deal of stoney ; the other. class has attempted to exploit me, and have not done quite so well. It is a very good rule In business to have nothing to de with one's relations. Of course, there might be exceptions to this rule as to all others; •however, 1 have never found an exception. Then, again, if friends or acquaintances aro in trouble, it is a very risky business to. get them out of it. When James G. Blaine was told that a certain person was publishing the most outrageous Ices about him, he hough for a few moments, and then said, "I cannot think of aruything I ever did for the man; I' never did him a favor in my life. Why then should he wish to lie about me, and abuse me?" Twice In my life I have gone out of any way to get friends out of very ser- ious trouble, and in both cases they have not only repaid me with the basest Ingratitude, but suave done all In theta power to inflict upon ms the greatest' amount of injury. I feel surs,that if 'a man wait under santCnce' of (loathe and were learning more and more how bet- ter to sooth and allay that pain, so that at the present time surgeons were able to perform most difficult operations by, the aid of anaesthetics, whilst the per-. son operated upon experienced little or, no pain. There were many who be- lieved that pain was sent by God, that it was an act of spite on His part be- cause the persons suffering were net Christians. That he did not for one, moment believe, for God was love. In creation, 'in the sunshine, and in many, other ways the action of God was in direct opposition to cruelty. The fact, that there were so many living to -day; was a sign that God desired to spread happiness throughout the world. They, had no right to ascribe pain to the di- rect action of God ; it was the result et iniquity and the power of Satan. Why, did Jesus weep it He did not recognize suffering as suffering, and pain as pain 2 It was an object -lesson to .go, as he, did the other clay, into one of the great;' London hospitals, and see a poor man brought in there suffering awful po.., and who had an operation performed upon him free of charge by one of the best surgeons of • rite day, - whose fee outside the hospital would have been a hundred guineas. The taunt was given the best of nursing, by efficient nurses, without stint. EIe (the Bishop) would for one deeply regret the day \viten their great hospitals were run without charitable aid. i -le telt that the moment contributions were enforced by the rate collector half the enthusiasm and love for hospital work would go. 11 would. be a had clay for :London when that method of securing contributions came into vogue.
