The time for action had arrived.
Lord Rackelt announced this when
he came in after the others had wafted

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

movements of a caged tiger.
They rejoiced to know the agony of
wailing was now to be relegated to
tate past.
Everything was reedy.
Plympton ltad done his duty well,
and neglected nothing that wood

The two men indulged in a conversa-
lion aside, during which Plympton
told what he had done, and was assured
on the part of the little elan that he
had been careful not to betray the facts
to Avis.
Perhaps it would have been the part
of wisdom to have taken her into their
confidence, for Avis was a remorcable
woman, and could have controlled her-
self as well as Larry ]himself,
They thought otherwise, ah(1 yet her

rible disa.ppotnenent if there slunld be
no prisoner, or in case, after effecting
his rescue, he turned out to be some
one else besides her husband, Dr.
,lack,
'These motives had kept their lips
sealed tints far, and they continued to
influence them.
Should great good fortune await
them in their daring venture, they felt
nssured it would be just as joyful an
event for Avis as though she had an-
ticipated 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 llackelt looked at his watch.
It was the fourth time he had con-
sulted his timepiece since entering.
"We must be moving," he said.
Larry actually smiled, he felt so re-
joiced to know the game was open.
"IL is killing me, comrade," he sate,
aside, to Plympton, and elle Tatter
could not but notice how haggard the
Mee man had become, though some-
what in doubt as to. whether his stale
of mind were caused by anxiety over
the uncertainly of Dr. Jack's fate, or
his wretched condition es custodian of
a grave secret,
Mercifully, Lard Racicelt 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 lack which you have
told 1110 was almost invariably Evans'
portion in the past."
And Larry, realizing flat much might
depend upon him in the metier, 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 Racketl's guidance they
quilled the hotel.
He knew where he was talsing them,
and how to avoid the espionage of

At least the suspense, which hourly

would be ended.

sensation of relief ; he felt very touch

MANAGEMI(N'r OF SHEEP.
It Is true that not every man is cut
out for a shepherd, The ideal shepherd
should be a man of wart) heart, sym-
pathetic nature, of good poise and pus
sessing an eye to see tthngs. The prat.
tical shepherd is not a theorist, leaving
no hard and fast way of doing things ;
but he does things and does them on
time and always with a definite object
In view, The suCcessfu) shepherd is a
practical man, and I would like to add
is a man of practice, writes Ilev. Archi-
bald Moore. Sheep are highly sensi-
tive creatures and show readily the effect
of care or neglect. The man who ap-
preciates promptly the needs of his
Ilocic and gives the necessary attention
may, other things being equal, promise
himself a prosperous business. To
Maintain the 11001111 of 11e flock. the
shepherd must see to it that the sheep
are kept in cleat(, dry, healthful winter
quarters, free frorn dampness, drafts,
well ventilated and protected from
storm. !low often is it true that the
health of sheep is destroyed by being
compelled to winter in bad quarters.
My practice is to give the sheep all the
(held range possible in open, dry wea-
ther, no matter how cold. My observe -
don, is that nothing will superinduce
disease more quickly than to compel
sheep to occupy damn, drafty, poorip
venitlaled quarters. Sheep thus become
so debilitated that It requires the most
fortunate conditions of the next sum-
mer to restore them to their condition
before going into winter quarters. It
is not necessary to build expensive
barns in order to secure favorable con-
ditions, Good Judgment with a vlew to
pracllcal economy (help out greatly when
it, comes to building barns for sheep.
Much devolves upon the shepherd in
maintaining a good constitution in all
the individuals of his flock. Some sheep
die, of course, from natural causes, but
the constant loss of siteep suggest
something wrong, either in the shep-
herd's methods, or his knowledge cf
breeding, or both.
TLIE ALL-ROUND SHEPTIERD.
must not only be a good keeper of
sheep, but he must also understand the
importance and art of good breeding.
it is here that he addresses himself .10
the conditions which point to the vigor
and type of his flock. He should have
as a standard a det(nite type, and by
skill, ingenuity and Judgment persist-
ently aim at his type.
In fine wool types the low carriage,
1110 blocky carcass, the square quarters,
the broad, stout loin and back, the
strong heart and the brightness of the
eye are not accidents, but results.
Such results as will be understood by
every skillful shepherd as being pro -
dual by definite causes. A flock built
teen this basic principle of skillful
breeding, followed by regular and in-
telligent attention will not only delight
the shepherds heart in general ap-
pearances, but will give bine good rea-
son to hope for reward In the good
coin of the realm.
A daily visit from the shepherd,
change from field to field as often es
collection may suggest, access to living
water, supplied with salt at all times,
provided with shade or shelter from
heat, a 1101(1 of well -grown grass re-
served for late fall or winter pasture,
are conditions which should be provided
for every flock. In winter they should
be provided with some succulent food,
such as roots or silage, fed with mixed
grains such as corn, oats and brat.
As roughness plenty of clover or cow -
pea hay should be ted. No man should
ever attempt to feed sheep through the
winter on timothy hay. I do not think
he can do so without great disaster.
Where conditions justify it, I suggest
that Jambi' should come in February, as
the early lamb has every advantage over
the late one. The lambing season is al-
ways an interestingtime for the shep-
herd.

when the flock deserves the most and
best of care. Neglect is exceedingly
costly at such a time. Event' morning
the new arrivals with their clams should
be separated from the nock, placed in
alolhee apartment of the barn and
given special care until they have a
good start on the journey of life.
if you would have plenty of milk for
the lambs when they come, begin to
feed with this end in view six wens or

The cow that is to make money must
make mills in quantities above the aver-
age. She must be a large eater, a good

the food into fine milk. The farmer
should not look for a small eating cow,

manufacturer does not attempt to manse

tain only a possible half ton. The milk
producer ran not force a ton of milk
out of a cow whose food in a given
time contains only a half ton of mills.
GROWING CROPS FOR THE SILO.
I generally plant my silage corn on
ground that has been in corn lite .1'o-
vious year, writes Mr. David toherts,
Sometimes I plant on sod and have
some so planted this year. When
ground has been in corn the previous
,yea', I mostly son' to rye In the fall for
spring pasture. I spread broadcast
with 0. manure spreader, cow stable
manure just before the land is plowed,
the latter part of April. The ground is
thoroughly disked, seraloh-harrowed
and put in as fine a condition as possi-
ble, before seeding. I use a two -horse,
double -crow drill and drop the grains
about one grain to 8 or 0 inches In
rows 4 feet apart, sometimes 3 feet
apart. This year, in addition to sfebie
manure, I put on with a fertilizer,
broadcast drill, a thin dressing of
ground fish manure.
I have three silos, two 12 feet square
and 24 feet high and one, a tank silo,
12 feet in dtometer and 24 feet high. I
plant about 12 to 14 acres for {hese
silos, and some years have more than
enough to IDI them. Southern 1-Torse,
tooth, Red Cob Silage, and occasion-
ally Blount's Prolific are used. The
sbralchdharrow is usually run over the
ground two or three days before, the
corns is up, to upset the young weeds.
After the corn is fairly up, I res a
weeder over the rows. Frequent culti-
vation with a wheel cmllivalar Is prac-
ticed through the season, until the corn
is laid by In- tine late summer.
In cutting for the silo, 1 use a har-
vester, and leave the filling of the silo
to parties who furnish power and cut-
ting. I have tried sowing Whippoorwill
cowpees with the corn, but this was
not very satisfactory, as the pens were
either choked out, or else over ran Ilse
corn so es to make harvesting diffi-
cult. This year, I propose planting the

end then rub the feet dry with a rough

iN A GARDEN Cw'r'Y,
London Experiment is Proving a Suc-
cessful
uecessful Venture.
The Garden City of Letchworth, same
miles from London, England, is pro-
gressing rapidly, The other day a lot
of M,P.'s and other visitors went out to
see the place, and after the party had
made a thorough inspection of the es-
tate, Mr. Henry Vivian, I\LP.. who Is
one of the )loving spirits In file garden
city enterprise, addressed the gather -
Ing at some length. Ile told Chow a be-
ginning was made at Letchworth; bow
six acres were first taken on a nine
hundred and ninety-nine years' lease,
14 houses started, and spoke of the
alacrity with which the co-operative
method of housing had caught on,
Another six acres were afterwards
taken, on which 32 houses were nearly
completed. Later, another seven acres
were taken, and by the end of August
71 !houses would be completed. These,
with a few houses on detached pieces of
land on the estate, would manse 130 in
all required by the Tenants' Society in
about 18 months, and would be worth
about 8110;000. The dist inguislting
feature of co -partnership in homing was
that ownership was common, not indi-
vidual. A h<nre obtained through a
building society was a man's own; but
he had to take alt the Mks attending
such properly. If his employment left
the district In which he resided. his
house might become a burden, and
even a serious loss to him. In the Gar-
den City Tenants, Limited. he was en-
tirely relieved of this individual respon-
sibility for a particular house.
1Te occupied a house at about the
ordinary rent of his district, and any
profit which accrued from the whole
carie to him in proportion to the rent
he paid, which was credited to hem in
shares, and not cash. Thus (he ques-
tion of rent was not what IL was under
landlordism. Common ownership gave
the tenant member all that ilto under-
taldng yielded, and whether it reached
him in the form of reduced rent or in-
creased dividends was really only a
detail.

The quality of sleep also varies. The

night's rest, the after-dinner sleep of
undue repletion is nnreh'eshing and
sometimes stupefying. On the other
hand, n brief nnp may dismiss at once
the fatigue and languor of a busy man.
The greatest foe of sleep is, perhaps,
terror; suspension and nnxiely come
next.

(hero excellent in itself, namely, the
cold bath, the air bath, and physical
exeietse, t0 which one may add a fourth.

ilia daffy cold, or cool bath, but the ata
baht is of almost equal importance as
a tonic to the skin and a means of in-
crerising the power of resistance of the
perabodytutore, the effects of changes of, tan.
The alr bath should be taken night
and morning, all the clothing being re-
moved from the upper part of the body.
while one washes the hands and face
and 0105115 the teeth. This is clone at
first in a warm room, but gradually, as
the skin becomes accustomed to the Im-
pact of the air, the room ban be made
cooler, until finally the hardy air bather
can open the windows wide and let his
body drink in the cool fresh air while
he exercises moderately to prevent a
chill.
In the open-air bathing of summer the
perfection of the air bath is to be had
combined will the water bath. At the
same lime the swimming, if one knows
(tow to swim—and every child should
be taught, for the knowledge may save
his life and that of others in some emer-
goney—or the paddling and splashing,
if one cannot swim, will tone up the
muscles of the 01'1110 and chest, which
are usually underexercised as compar-
ed with those o[ the lower extremities.
Any body of water, even a shallow
stream, will do for the open-air 'heath,
but there is a special tonic virtue in
sea -water. The salts exercise a stimu-
lant effect upon the skin, and this sti-
mulation is carried by the nerves to the
Internal organs, dispelling sluggishness
and increasing lundlonai activity. The
appetite is increased, digestion is im-
proved, and constipation is often reliev-
ed by a 0011180 of salt -water bathing,
There are sane precautions to be ob-
served in ail outdoor bathing. One
should never take a dip within a short
time after a hearty meal, although, on
the other (hand, bathing on an entirely
empty slomaeh is not well. If the bans
be taken before breakfast it Is well to
eat a couple of crackers and drink a
glass of milk beforehand. Another
rule, and an important one, is to make
the bath brief. Ten minutes should be
the limit, and' five minutes will be long
enough if the water Is cold. The rub-
bing down should be vigorously per-
formed.
DON'T BE MOODY.
Moodiness is almost a form of disease.,
end certainly leaves its marls upon the
face. IL should be fought against until
continued by every woman who has
any care for her beauty .and attractive-
ness. Plenty of cheerful, pleasant oc-
cupation, which we can all find if we
try, will keep this enemy at bay. Never
be idle. Idleness produces unhappiness
and discontent. Worry, too, will add
years to a woman's lode). Cultivate a
habit of looking on the bright side.
Think good, sweet thoughts, and re-
member that our faces are the )mirrors
of our lives, whether we wili or no.
