and drawls, •

goes to prove that his opinion of Larry

the whole world to read—a sort of
handy cloak such as the denies flaunt
in the face of the bull to divert his
attention from an imperiled picador.
While they are yet talking, breakfast
is ready, and the ladies appear. Jack
fastens his oyes on Avis eagerly and
hungrily—he longs to tell her what
Mercedes has said and done, but dares
• not without firet revealing his love. It
would be pleasant to do this, certain
as he Is that his affection is turned,
but the time and place are hardly fit-
ting. He can wait. If success crowns
his efforts the reward will be all the
• more grateful, while if he fails—well,
he cannot see how any mundane affair
will interest a dead man.
So they sit down to the meal, served
In a half Turkish fashion, and. yet
very enjoyable to the four who par-
take.
• CHAPTER XXII.
Again Doctor Jack sees a busy day,
before him. Much has to be done in
order that all arrangements shall work
together and forte one piece of me-
chanismnbf which he himself must be
the master key, but Sack finds time
• enough for an interview with Avis
• after breakfast Os over.
• He is al:larded in what he says, as
he does not want to commit himself

She is filed with vrondee and delight
at what he tells her concerning Aleck,
and plies him with questions he fe un-
able to answer. Then comes the bal-
ance of the story, still more remark-
able, and now she Is very quiet, watch-
ing Jack's face, as though ft were a
window in which she can see his very
. thoughts exposed.
• That Mercedes should either hate or
love her is a strange thing, and can
only be accounted for upon one hypo-
thesis—the Spanish girl looks upon her
in the light of a rival, and a successful
cne, too, or she weuld not have com-
mitted social hari icari by becoming
the wife of the Pasba, thus forever
putting herself and Doctor Jack apart.
- . As thisthought comes into her mind.
A.vfs realizes the truth'. No word of
love has as yet passed betweenthis.

in a dreadful state of suspense regard-

that, like a true woman, the ehould
be terribly distreseecl regarding it all,
and blesh furiously, much to the secret
delight of the cruel Jack, who 'feasts
his eves noon the scarlet ehee.ks and
brow, and fights savagely within his
breast to keep from folding; her in leis
arms.
"Avis—Mies Morton -1 am off now

stupid man," and she breaks clown in
confusion, covering her rosy face „with
her hands. •
Jack takes them gently but firmly
dawn, and holds them prisoner. How
they flutter, but there is no attempt
at escape.
"Loole me M the face, Avis. I have
always said I wanted your eyes to be
on mine when 1 told you my secret. I
love you, Avis, God alone knows how
dearly.. This is no news to you. Your
• heart ha's told you so berm e now. I
thought it might be best not to speak
of, this until we hail w m or lost, but
, the temptation was too strong. Tell
you love me, nig dear girl, it will
give me new strength to battle for
your brother."
Of course she does. Who could resist
such it lover as Doctor Jack? And,
forgetful of all else, they sit and talk
Lor ,hail an hour, when Larry puts his
bead in at the doer, and expeesses in-
tense surprise at the couple. Jack calls
him in and gravely announces the new
compact that has been formed, where-
at the dude capers around the room
on his toes with all the graces of a
premier danseuse, and declares himself
delighted:
"If I cawn't have Avis myself, 'pon
'onah. there's nobcdy else deserves her
but you, old boy," lie cries, slapping
Jack on the back patronizingly, at
which that Hercules smiles. .
Then Jack suddenlysgemembers how
tim is passing, and so much to be
done Making love is all very good in
its place, but when the war is on, the
ver must leave tender scenes for a
more opportune exerted, and face the
enemy. Se he temporarely says good -
by to Avis; and as Larry has good-
naturedly trotted Outside, of coarse
this gives another opportunity for a
kiss—it is really surprising how many
such chances arise among lavers.
At last Jack is off, He realizes how
lard it is to part from Avis, now that
she has given him the right to call her
his own true love, but Jack is Inclined
to be somewhat philosophical, even in
affairs of this land, and grimly eat;
his mind upon the stern duty in hand.,
Nevertheless, many times during the
day he is peen to smile when there may
be nothing visible to cause such action
—his thoughts revert to the morning's
scene, and bring him pleasant visions.
He already begins to experience the
foys.of a new life—it seems to him that
he could never have more than half
lived before.
Nevertheless, be onto in a good solid
day's work, and everything he does is
carried out well. To follow him on his
round would be the bent way in which
we might ascertain what he managed
to perform.
Passing along the street, he enters
a bazaar, and is halted by e, cry of
"Fezes, in the name of the -Prophet,
fezes."• This is the man he desires to
• see, and soon a bargain is struck—
Jack buys a dozen of the Turks' head-
gear—a ridiculous thing it is, too,
viarm in summer and cold in winter,
with nothing to shade the eyes—still,
no one ever conies back., from. ,Vehei:

a boat'screw from the yacht ashore
that night, and if they wear this cover-
ing ontheir heads' they may be raise

clew given that will be .of value later
on. • ,
Jack now proceeds to the water's
edge. , The bandsome little Thistle-
down is riding to her ,anchor not a

tracts attention on her deck. A boat

of btesinesa however, and he cannot
daily long, no Matter how pleasant it
may be in the company of this fair
girl from over the sea. He asks Avis
a cmeetion.
" Do aou suppose yea and Aunt Sop-
hie could get what articles of clothing
you may need until we reach Rome, in
my ecrtrnanteau ?"
What a terrible question to, ask a
young girl desirous of appearing well

As he returns in the vehicle to the
house it begins to grow dusk: The
time is near when they must depart.

might have learned too moth •and be-
trayed them finally to the Pasha for

the meal then being served. The la-
dies have their hats on, and are all
ready for tree ening. Avis looks an-
xious but brave, and did Jack call up-
on her to aid Iffin in his desperate
plans .she is in. a spirit to meet him
halfway.
At last they, enter the old vehicle—

MAKING OI" A AIODEt, COW.
With cows as with buildings, we
_
must leave ,right foun,datton and
eight material; conpied with ietellie
gent rearing. Ia addition, in the
ease of a cote, we xnust go back of
the foundation and see that the in-
herited tendencies are right on the
side of sire and dam alike.
The writer has found that the sire,
when correctly bred, can be depend-
ed upon to 'fuenish the size, coloring
conforelation and general physical
type of cow sought but to the dam
in, general, we must look fdr th

• and wait years before he can breed

herd of ten or twenty should net one
a pretty fair income. This can be
done in 'almost any region where the
grass is good and where good me-
thods of farming and dairying are
observed.
More can be accomplished, but this
is enough to show what some dair-
ies can and are doing. '
It matters not so much what kind
of breed you have, so long as the
animals are adapted to dairying, and
they are good representata.ves of
their race. Each animal must be
judged on its individual merits, and
if not up to the standard it should
be discarded. Price does not al-
ways measure the value of a service-
