It has jumped from 35c to #1 a gallon in New York, and linseed from $1 to $2.70 a bushel in three years. Linseed oil sold the other day at 94 cents by the ear load. Soya oil is said be be largely taking the place of linseed oil since it reached this high price. The ten 14 -inch guns to form the main battery of Britain's, newest Dread- nought will cost $580,000. They will use a /,4004b. projeetile and a charge of oaths. of special powder which will give it a muzzle energy of 05,600 foot tons. sach shot will cost $1,200, and the gun is not expected to be good for more than 210 shots. Shooting with such wea- hums is costly. 'fhe high' price of eggs has led •de- praved 'limn to resort to desperate schemes to overwork the gentle hen. 'The other day a westerner informed the public' of the stimulusof red shirts to eggdaying. The red shirts were not to be worn by the hens, of course. Other experimenters report great results from feeding their poultry blood and slaugh- terhouse scraps, into which considerable quantities of cayenne had been introduc- ed. Now comes an English poultryman who has been using mustard with suc- cess, to boost ids hens' egg records. According to the Loodon Globe the exe periment began on October 1, 1909. At the end of six months the birds fed with ordinary food had laid three hun- • dred and nixty-nine eggs, whereas the birds fed with the mustard addition to their food had laid live hundred and thirty-two eggs., At the end of the year the biode fedonthe ordinal., food had laid nine hundred and fourteen eggs, as arodiast one thousand and twenty-three eggs laid by the mustard -fed 13irds. While -eggs remain at their present high price level, these stimulants to lay- ing will naturally al tract attentioto The why of their operation need hardly be discussed. Whether the mustard oper- ates as a general stimulant to the ap- petite and fecundity of the hen, or sim- ply by its counter -irritating effect per- suades het to be up and doing them - thing, the poultryman 'will hardly c,are.

The cost of these papers was $10. This might be etecaped only by swearing that the contraeting parties were paupers.

Beetle seized a newspaper and folded ,it up in the shape of the will. "Look at that," he said. "Was there a paper, a written paper, folded like that?" The man's face cleared. "No, my lord, I am certain there was not." he said, positively. Boyce shrugged his shouldersRIO held up the burnt scrap. "1 am afraid you have made a mite - take," he said.

"Why, this -this Will, you now!" said Beetle; Olt may be of the utmost importance. I wish to heaven I'd read it.

"I say, why should you upset your- self about it?" said Royce, coolly. "I don't myself think it was anythittg but a draft, just the outlines of 0 will to be copied by the lawyer." • Bertie's face grew less dark. "But supposing that it was a genuine will, it isn't of any value!" "Not of any value? Why not?" "Because the last will Lord Arrowfield made was in favor of Stuart Villitere, and this was a former one, of course, and therefore not worth the ppaer it was written on!" "Do you think---" said Berne, doubt fully. hf don't think -I am surer' respond- ed Boyce. "Belatedly it was of no inn pertatice or it woukbet have boot shov- ed behind that picture.

As he did so his hand went to the breast pocket of his coat where the will lay; 'it seemed to burn Iiim like a sheet of red-hot iron. Ile had played his part well, but at 4 cost which had strained every 'terve. As a man who had been snatched back from the precipice looks down with a shudder at the awful depths below, he looked back at the dreadful moment of doubt and uncertainty while he waited to hear if Bertie had read the will. But Ile had not, and the mune was in Mordirunt Royce's hands. • He went to his rooms in Mount street, anti locking the door, took out the will and read end re -read it. Lord Arrow - field had been something of a lawyer, and it was drawn up clearly; distinctly andwith care. Royce knew enough of wills to feel sure that this would stand in any court of law, and that it; Stuart Villiers :ought it, he could not upset it. Joan Ormsby was entitled to the es- tates end moneys of Lord Arrowfield, and she was to be Mordaetnt Royce's edifel , His eyes glittered, his mouth watered. What could he not do with such wealth? He was clever, young, possessed of the kind of ability which goes to make A leader amongst men. He would get a seat in the House of Comtuons, would take office, gain a peer- age! Lord Royee of Deercombe, or per- haps Earl of Deercombe, for they would live at the grand old mansion in Devon- shire and be the great people there! As for Joan, she would. have everything in the world that could make her hap- py. His love, should surround her like a guardian and ministering angel! How proud he would be of her! HO* proud she should be 'of hint! He 'evould become the leading hum in the country, he who had once been a boy of the gutter, the lad whom old Craddock bad picked out of the city nitult But there was no time to be lost; he was walking, so to speak, in the face of a volcano, and there would be no surety of suceess, no safety indeed, until Joan was his wife, That evening Joan was sitting with a book in her hand beside the fire, but not reading. Try as she would ' she could not concentrate her thoughts up- on the printed page. The strange meet- ing last night with- Lord Bertie had brought baek the past so plainly, so painfully, that she could not dismiss it front her mind. Lord Beetle's confession of love had retailed, in its manly tendernese, the passionate avowal of Stuart Villiers, Once more she seemed to be standiug on the Deercombe eine listening to his musical voice pouring forth his love for her. Once more she seemed to stand be - hied thefolding doors in the rooms in Piccadilly, listening to Bertie and Lord Pontelere while they made plain to her the character of Stuart Villiara and her own peril. And once again she asked herself, with an aching heat•t and perplexing sense of bewilderment, Why had Stuart Villiers attempted her ruin and yet become will- ing to marry Miss Mazurka? She strove to put the thoughts from her; she had resolved to forget the past, and more than all else, Sturo•t Villiers. It was her duty to do so, indeed, for was she not the promised wife of Mor - daunt Royce? On the table beside her wire the morning papers containing an account of the play and the unfortunate fire which had destroyed the theatre, The critics exhausted their adjectives in their praise of her, She was all that was talented anti: telever-a positive geniue, in fact; and her future, so the principal daily declared, must of neces- sity be a brilliant and triumphant one. There was also a letter from Mr. Gif- ford, regrettbag the fire on his own recount, but remarking that he deplored it as deeply . on another, namely, the sudden inter- ruption to Miss Ida Trevelyan's success- ful career. He was, however, he begged to state Already uegotiating for the use of another theatre while the Coronet wan rebuilding, and boated soon to have the pleasure of announcing that Misr; Trevelyau would soon make her appear - Alice iu "A.

While extoll. ing Beetle's heroism, the reporter was emphatic in his peak:eft of Miss Trove) - van's coolness, and declared that the way in which she had remained on the etage, at the peril of her own life, to adjure the andithee to retain their seats was as heroic+ as Lord Dewsbury's cons duct in caving her from a fate which would, so the reporter asserted, "have plunged this metropolis into mouru- inFl;e papers seemed full of her, and Joan, as she teealled the time, so few weeks ago, when she wandereel horn. les and helpless, deetitute, and forlorio about the eeld London streets, awl com- peted it with the present period of fante and prosperity, fat with self-re- proach that she ought tie be happy and thenkful.
