cate, 1eem!ng to mock at cc.litude, full of
vitality in contrast with the sleepiness
of the night; and at hie words, even in
the moonlight, he could see how every
mu. .let of her face co:ltraeted. flow pale
he had grown. The though:, flashed
I12" l'gh liim that it was dangeraue for a
woman to he no beautiful 1244 she was,
that it (' •sed to be beauty, and beeamo
a spec• (,. of rrgnal of destruction like
that el' tome contour of magnificent rocks
dreaded by . enfarers, or that of the siren
hr•;aaf, alltlrint singing to men, and
(orebing her golden hair, to the eound of
ettfling water, garatting eight. A wo-
man revelling, not so much in her beauty,
ae in the ti°caeter it 'worked. But he ex•
a,ger:ted her desire to destroy, her 'wi4eh
to allure. Just now, if she and he had
known ,:t, she pined for virtue. for the re-
••ord of purity. When a woman is beauti-
ful and not particularly good, men al-
ways think that she must be supremely
wicked. Nobody is supremely wicked,
and women have alwayo, to the end, some
of the inconsequence of children. When
they haven't. when they are entirely un-
ecrupnloue, entirely -calculating then
they are not entirely women. Women
prefer to be good. Often Judith had
moaned to herself
"If I could only be loved, how happy
and good I would be."
American women are no 'better instinct-
ively than other women. but they are bet-
ter hives because they are more beloved,
by their husbands than the women of
other countries.
Tonight it seemed to him. that he and
she were tarred with the came brush,
that together they could govern the
world; that apart, each would feel that
one side of hie or her advantages was
not being brought into use. She, the wet -
man, haw n uqh better .for her to marry
a man who knew, who could never re
proach her. And for him, he could not
begin to count up the advantages• for
himself.
Marry you—" She gave O. little mock-
ing laugh, wheal emphasized the scorn in
her voice. "If you 'were the only man in
the world I wouldn't starry you. I sim-
ply i ate you,"
She had tot ase:: the importance of tem-
porizing with him to -night, of ,all nights.
She still Cheng to the fallacy of women
of the present century, tivhich ie built up
on old traditions, which are peril ape
false, on the reading of novels, recount-
ing of ancient chivalry, which probably,
ince the, chivalry of old Virginia,• existed
more in the mind of the novel -writer than
in 'the people of old-fashioned days. She
still imagined that he would never, never
'peak; and to-night"her one ambition
was to .show him once and 'for all time,
that she bad no more use for him in this

A Situ -Tragedy off the War in. Serbia.
A wounded d d 8erliian soldier attacked by typhus fever and unaulo to
proceed further on his journey, This '
the existingcirca s ] y >s not an unusual sight under
xu. fauces In Serbia,
every dub, chaetvi front society, branded
the bully, the infamous coward that Yon
are."
And partly because 11'4 situation wets
so nearly what she described, bcete se he
o` did rot recognize tesla daunted, disap-
pointed, yealrning en benccod tliat ehotle
fit her eyes, he took her fury for the ter-
ror of dismay at bin interference, for a
recognitionof the fact that all the cards
were an. Ilia hinds.
"Marry you --I would rather the whole
world knee,'" she told him, holding her
head high, "than r.arry you."
]le had not completely maapeel out 1128
propraanmo yet, the had not fully made
up hie mind to spoil leer game, to ruin
her life. but he had intended to come to
some arrangement with Iter. It would be
blackmael, but i'ecauee .3110 would never
dare to tell about llersolf, elle oleo would
never be able to tell. about 'him, never.
Only to reach a, oompromice she would
have •needed to be in a calmer spirit, to
meet him with, suggestion, with 'patience,
at least to have appealed to his better
self, instead of arousing This worst. In-
stead site had set a fuse to all that wee
most evil, most heckles, most daring, and
he 'was a man to whomnothing mattered,
who had no one to conelder but himself,
and who. when lie considered himself,
61131 grimly that soon there would be
very little left to oon,sider. Isis complete
downfall was imminent, and the knew
that he had not enough friends for the
world not to rejoice. The hate, the loath-
ing of Judith was but the replica of tihe
hate and loathing of other women, who,
while they held their tongues now, 'would
laugh over his fall, and sing triumphant-
ly because horse and Hider had boon
throwninto the sea. More than a11, by
her challenge, she had awakened the
fighting spirit which lies in almost every
man, Km dared him, and he accepted
the challenge. She had declared war. It
was too late to 'suggest a truce, and when
her voice ceased its low passionate mur-
muring, in whieh she had seemed like a
hissing serpent, striking at him with
poisoned fangs, he said, with a calm
which seemed the culminating wrong of
all:
I don't mean you to marry that main,
Lady Judith, if you don't marry me, you
shan't marry him. You'll have to come
off your high horse, my lady."
Now when it was too late, when, with-
out endiing en dieaetera the hour itself
proclaimed that there ryas no time to en-
ter upon a diecuesion of eompromiee, she
saw that she had used !blunt -edged tools,
blundered with methode to which this
man was atemestomed, and flailed to deal
a fatal blows
' lfowv are you going to prevent me?"
Still she ,dared him with retort, while
something within her died away. do had
her ammeters defied death, while it star-
ed them 'between the eyes, bold crusader,,,
and knights of old, and brave soldiers,
who lead built up the name of her house,

The important losses in butter,
through the growth of mold upon
the tub lining, wrapper, or in the
letter itself, which injures the
saleability of the produce, have led
experts to investigate this subject.
Mold in butter is usually found in
three forms: (1) Orange -yellow
areas with some growth of myce-
lium under the , surface. (2)
Smudge or dirty green areas,
either entirely inside the abutter or
with some surface growth. • (3)
Green -surface colonies, either upon
the butter, causing decomposition,
or Upon thea contadne•r or wrappings
the
which}nuttewill injure the appearance of
r.
Experiments in produeipg molds
artificially in samples of butter in-
dicate that a growth of mold in or
a,bout butter is favored by exces-
sive curd, by "leaky" butter, or by
wet surfaces, wet wrappings 'or
highly moist air. If butter molds
readily, it is an indication of in-
sufficient salting, as salt up to 2.5
to 3 per cent. is sufficient to pre-
vent mold or reduce it to a. negli-
gible amount. The growth of molds.
moreover, is largely reduced by
keeping the butter at low tempera-
tures. Improper storage tempera-
tures, accompanied as they fre-
quently are with moist conditions,
are favorable to mold in butter.
Unsalted butter is more subject to
.deterioration from microorganisms.
than salted butter. Successful
storage of such butter is therefore
'dependent upon scrupulously
clean, dry refrigeration. Cellars
and ice refrigeration rarely furnish
conditions which will prevent mold
in unsalted or slightly salted but-
ter, although it may be delayed or
reduced. Butter properly made
and normally salted (up to 2.5 to
.3 per cent., equivalent to the use
of 8.12 to 15 per cent. brine)., will
not showmold under reasonably
careful handling.
Investigators in summarizing re-
sults emphasize the fact that well -
;washed butter is less subject to
mold than that with an excess of
curd, but the essential factor in
molding seems to be water, not
protein.
``Leaky" butter from which
milky water exudes and collects in
the wrapper or container furnishes
the best conditions for the begin
ning of mold growth. From these
wete b
areasutter c'oitselon'ilfes, may spread toth.
(fold, tee investigators find, will
not grow upon the surface of a
piece of butter exposed to air at
ordinary humidities. The water in
the butter is not sufficiently avail-
able to the mold to support the de-
velopment of a, colony unless evap-
oration is reduced by a high -mois-
ture content of the surrounding
air. In closed packages, wet or
damp cellars, or carelessly packed.
masses with cracks or fissures in.
which moisture collects mold
, may
seriously injure the appearance of
the packages or acually induce
great changes in the butter itself.
Green molds may damage nor-
mally salted 'butter if cracks and
open spaces are left by bad pack-
ing. Other investigators have
found that paraffining the tubs or
boxes prevents mold on the con-
tainer and the liner by preventing
the escape of water which would
not leave the air space necessary
for mold growth.
Very moderate salting prevents
the appearance of the orange -yel-
low patches and the smudges. The
green molds affect normally salted
butter only when it is held under -
conditions of temperature or moist-
ure that are favorable to mold
growth.
Alfalfa Hay for Hogs.
A trial in feeding hogs on alfalfa
hay was carried on at the North
Dakota Experiment ,Station by W.
H. Peters, Animal Husbandman.
The alfalfa hay was cut into half-
inch lengths and was fed both dry
and steamed. The hogs were also
f.ed a grain ration of barley shorts
and tankage. One lot was fed only
the grain feed, while with other
lots the grain ration was reduced
and alfalfa supplied in its place,

the aim being to make the alfalfa,
fed .hogs to gain as much as the yll-F
grain lot, With young pigs the
saving in cost duo to the alfalfa
was 50e per 100 pounds gain on the
dry alfalfa, and 40c when the allay
fa was steamed. With the fatten-
ing frogs, the saving was $1.70 per
1:00 pounds gain for lot fed the dry
alfalfa, and $2.70 when the alfalfa
WAS steamed.
*Brood sows were also fed alfalfa,
hay. When the alfalfa was fed the
grain ration (:barley and oatsli
could be reduced one-third to one-
fourth, and the sows did well on
it. No difference was uoticesblg
between their litters and 'thostt
from the sows fed all grain,
The growing' pigs were fed one.,
fifth to 'one-sixth as much alfalfi
as grain, this being .the ,amount
that they would readily, eat and
keep making' as good gains as the
all -grain lot.
Of -the dry alfalfa. the fattenin,
hogs eat one-sevenh as 'much as of
grain ration, and of the steamed al-'
falfa, one-sixth as much. The hogs
did nut eat as large a, proportionof
the alfalfa as was expected. It,
however, reduced the cost of mak-
ing the gains so that it was well
worth while. The price put on the
feeds was one cent per pound for
the grains, two cents for tankage,:
and the alfalfa $1'0 per ton.
The observations of the trial in-
dicate : First, that in order to get
hogs started to eating alfalfa hay
in winter it is necessary to limit
the grain to such an extent that
the hogs must eat hay or go hun-
gry. Second, that, when handled
in this way, they will very readily
take to the hay, and (t limited
amount of hay can be fed very sat-
isfactorily, securing just as good
results, just as gaud gains, and at
less cost than where grain alone is
fed. Third, that the greatest ad-
vantage to be :gained in feeding
hay in the winter is the saving of
grain and lowering •of the cost of
feeding.
