I glanced at Mabe1''s letter, It was dated June 4th. She had left on the day following. I could learn rothing further, In an excited, unsettled state of mind, enable to decide how to act, I returned to London, and then, out of sheer want of something to do, I travelled down to Heaton. The old place was the same: neglec- ted and deserted, but full of me- mories of days bygone. Old Baxter and his wife were both dead, and the caretakers were fresh servants whom my agent had apparently en- gaged. I also learnt that Parker, the faithful old woman who had tended to my wants in Essex street, had also passed away more than two years before. I spent a dismal day wandering through the house and park, than drove back to Tewkesbury, and on the following morning returned to London, In the six years that had elapsed since my last visit to the Manor nothing had changed save, perhaps, that the grass had grown more luxuriantly over the gravel- led drive, and the stone exterior was being gradually rendered grey by the lichen which in those parts overgrows everything.

She had conte to me with a cool demand to raise a loan of half a million sterling, and it was plain from what she bad explained that the money was urgently needed for the protection of the State against enemies both internal and external. My own position was uni- que. Had not Gedge showil' me those official documents, which gave ere concessions in the Principality of Bulgaria, I should have laughed this woman's curious story to scorn as a piece of impossible fiction. But I had glanced over some of those papers at Denbury, and was satis- fied that I had actually had many dealings With that State during the six years of my unconscious but prosperous existence. There seem- ed every truth in her statement that to her had been due my success in the City in the first instance. "And supposing you broke your promise and went to Scotland Yard?" she suggested at length, her eyes still fixed upon me. "What would you expect to find?" "To find?" I echoed.

As the days went by an increasing de- sire possessed me to ascertain more of that woman who called herself Grainger, and was the confidential emissary of a reigning prince. She alone knew the truth, therefore why should I not carefully watch her movement's, and endeavor to discover her intentions? From the veiled threat she had uttered, it w•as evident that although she did not fear any revelations that I might make, yet she regarded me as a person detrimental to her in- terests. As long as I had acted as her agent in negotiating loans for the Principality, she had secured for me high favor in the eyes of Prince Ferdinand. But the fact that I had gained consciousness and refused to assist her further had taken her completely by sur- prise. That same evening I called at the Bath Heel, and ascertained that "`Mrs. Grainger" had left some days before. She had not, it ap- d became.

The mellow summer twilight was fast deepening into night as 1: strode along Piccadilly towards the Circus, after leaving the grey -eyed woman who held the secret. What she had revealed to me was startling, yet the one fact which caused me more apprehension than all others was the curious means by which she had discovered my where- abouts. If she had been enabled to du this, then the police would, no doubt, very soon find me and return me to my so-called "friends." In despair I thought of Mabel. Long ago I had surrendered my whole heart to her. She had at forst placed a strong and high-mind- ed confidence in me, judging me by her own lofty spirit, but that unac- countable rupture had occurred, and she had gone from me crushed and heart -broken. In my pocket I carried her letter, and the more I thought over it the more puzzled I contrary, she remained perfectly calm. Her self-control was extra- ordinary. "And what would it profit you, pray?" she asked. "I should at least know that I had endeavored to bring to justice those responsible for the poor fel- luw's death." "It would only be an endeavor— a vain one, I assure you." "You mean that the secret is too well concealed ever to be reveal- ed," I observed quickly. "Yes," she said; "you have guessed aright." "And, in other words, you defy me- to discover the truth?" word I have not said so. The defy is scarcely one which should be used between us, I think, con- sidering that our interests are to- day mutual—just as they were on the night of the crime." "I fail to see that," I answered. "I have no interest whatever in hidden, in this terrible secret keeping Ei • for while I do so Iamacting the part of accessory." But surely you have an interest in preserving your own life?" she urged. "Then you imply that if I were to lay information at Scotland Yard I should be in peril of my life'' 1" I asked, looking straight into those calm oyes that ever and anon seem- ed full of mystery. "Of that I cannot speak with any degree of certainty," she respond- ed. "I would only warn you that he this matter continued silence is by far the best." a veiled "But you have uttered threat!" I cried. "You are aware of the whole facts, and yet refuse to impart to me the sinipie informa- tion of the whereabouts of Mrs. An- ton.

"I ain unable to give you any information regarding the lady you mention," she replied, with a slight frown of annoyance.

Too much cannot be said on the question of separating and caring for cream ab the cream gathering creameries, Ib is a string that cannot be played upon too often in the present condition of the but- ter business. Cleanliness is at the toot of the matter. Keep the cows clean and in clean places, Let the milker be clean, his clothes as well its his hands, Clean the udder be- fure beginning to milk, and milk with dry clean hands. More patrons are weak in sep- arator management and handling the cream than anything else. Ono ,rf the creamery instructors report- ed last year that he found separa- tors sitting in every conceivable place from the kitchen to the hog pen. A clean separator is one of the most valuable adjuncts of the dairy. But it cannot keep bad flav- ors and dirt out of the milk or cream unless properly used. It should be thoroughly cleaned after each separation and kept clean. It should be operated in a place where everything is clean and the atmos- phere pure. When the mills is run through the separator it is at the temperature at which it is taken from the cow, or nearly so, In 'other words, it is just in a condi- tion to absorb bad flavors. In the separating process the milk is ex- posed to the surrounding air. It passes through the separator in a fine stream, every particle coming in touch with the separator. If the latter is not clean and free from taint, the milk, or rather the Dream, is sure to be affected. There is too much thin, sour cream being supplied. Thisisdue to improper separating. A richer cream should be secured. It will keep better; there will be a smal- ler amount to keep cool, less load for the driver, and less bulk for the butter maker to handle. The bet- ter quality of cream will insure better butter being made and a better financial return to the pat- rons. Many creamery patrons lack pro- per cooling facilities. Some pat- rons seem to think that the buying of a cream separator will enable them to do without ice. But ice 'is just as necessary for cooling the cream as it was for cooling the milk to facilitate the raising of the cream before the separator was bought. Ice in plenty should be supplied for cooling the cream as soon as separated. earth; I had been bore at once from! porter caused him suddenly to re - calm and lofty and delighted spe-I collect that a couple of days before crlations into the very heart of fear I her departure she had sent a dress - and tribulations.

ALWAYS READY TO SERVE—Solt, by A't Orooer®; 1055 first 25 cubic centimeters drawn from the teat, the mid -milk being taken when the milking was half accomplished. The numbers were quite variable, but the results largely confirmed those of other investigators, one of whom found 97,000 bacteria in the first milk, as compared with about 9,000 in the mid -milk, and 500 in the strippings. It see.as that the bac- teria clustered in colonies about the end of the teat are largely washed away by the first .few streams of milk drawn from the quarter. The practical lesson is, of course, to re- ject the first two or three streams of milk from each teat, not even allowing it to come in contact with the inside of the pail. As the fore- milk is very thin and watery, prac- tically no butter -fat is lost, while the bacterial content of the mess of milk will be very much reduced, and its wholesomeness and keeping qualities accordingly improved. A SCOTTISH SEA -FIGHTER. Remarkable Man Was the Earl of I) undonald: Thomas Cochrane, Earl of Dun- donald, one of the great examples of knights errant of the sea, was as pugnacious as the wildest, most fire-eating Irishman. "The hound's and boar's heads in his coat of arms were typical," says Capt. Jack Brand in his recent book, "The Free Lances." "He was as swift as one and as ferocious as the other." He was, moreover, a man of hu- mor. He was always laying tricks and traps for the enemy. In defending Fort Trinidad, near Rosas, in Spain, which ho had seiz- en with his bluejackets, finding that the enemy had made a breach i i the walls and might be expected to assault at any time, he prepar- ed an immense trough, or box, the sides of which lie greased so that when the French carne through the opening in the walls they would have an opportunity of "shooting. the chutes' under most favorable circumstances. The famous Captain Marryat, who was one of Cochrane's midship- men, tells of an incident in the same siege. When the British were retiring under fire, Cochrane di- rected the men to make the best of their way to the boats, which they did on a dead run, He himself was Inc dignified for such a perform- ance, and stalked along with mag- nificent indifference to a hail of shot. Marryat, who walked in his rear, had no scruples as to his own dig- nity, and finally suggested that as he was only a midshipman, it might he possible for his captain to let him cut and run, whereupon Coch- rane remarked blandly that be had intended that Marryat should have gone with the rest, but since he had remained with his commander, he might as well be made useful. a, • ne "is of life,"said Cochrane, , Y some importance to the expedition. edition. Yours, comparatively speaking, is valueless, for there is only one cap- tain to the ship, whereas midship- men can be had for the asking." He therefore directed Marryat to walk behind him and keep off the shot, which was a joke—Cochrane being over six feet tall—the humor of which the novelist did nob ap- preciate until many years after, Again, says Captain Brand, Coch- rane, visiting Malta, was imprison- ed by the chief functionary of that island, whom he openly accused of the most comprehensive and com- plete system of "grafting." Coch- rane wont to prison because he had to. When the prison fare was set before him, he refused to eat, say- ing he would starve to death rather than submit to such injustice. He Wits a captain in the navy, a mem- ber of Parliament, a noble lord. To allow such a man to starve to death was not to be thought of. The perplexed functionary ordered that whatever Cochrane desired in the way of subsistence should be furnished him from a neighboring inn, He evidently knew little of Coch- ranefor the hotel bill for one month nearly bankrupted the gov- ernor.

The poultry keeper above all other business men has the advan- tage of having for sale a product which is saleable every day in the year in any part of the country. There is no town so small, no vil- lage so remote that poultry and eggs are not in demand at all times, and in many instances the more re- mote the town the bettor the prices. The poultry keeper has also the ad- vantage of being able to foretell within a narrow range what price he will obtain for his produce. He knows that at certain times he will be able to get high prices and at other trines prices are very likely to fall. He knows that year after year certain price curves will be found in the market quotations and these will not vary widely in any series of' years. The price of beef, mutton, pork, wool, cotton, farm produce of any kind, is likely to swing through a wide arc in conse- cutive years, prices being made on demand or according to the qua- lity produced,ed, Withh the products of the poultry yard it is different. Prices go up and down almost as regularly as if they had been fixed to remain permanent, and the pcultry keeper need not worry abort supply and demand, He should give his whole attention to the economic phases of the work, He should endeavor to feed so as to produce the greatest possible revenue from a given quantity of feed. He should study his fowls and use every endeavor to secure the largest number of eggs from each laying hen, It is characteris- tic of the business of producing eggs that a shortage in the summer rr -an overplus in the winter does not affect prices to any great de- gree. This is because the law- of average applies. If one poultry man's hens lay well in winter the increased supply is not large enough to lower prices, while if one flock ceases to produce in early summer other flocks go right on producing the usual summer out- put, This gives the individual poultryman an opportunity to con- duct his business so as to get the best results by producing the larg- est number of eggs ata time when the prices are highest. In the poul- try keeping as in any other busi- ness it is ability to see ahead which makes for success.

Little Marjorie had received her first invitation to a birthday party, and while she had very little idea of what a party is like, she was full of js,y about it. When the day came and it was time to get ready, Marjorie skipped gaily up the stairs two steps at a time. But as she opened the door and saw her dress laid out neon the bed, with the rib- bons and sash, a shadow ever so small clouded her face. Perhaps it was the "best dress"—for there was certainly something connected with that and church, or making very proper calls with mother and sitting straight and quiet. It is a task for a little girl to sit perfect- ly quiet. "Mother, is a party something to eat?" Marjorie asked, as her mo- ther was arranging the buws on her hair. "Well," mother answered, quite hurriedly, "not altogether." This reply Was -somewhat confusing, and din not reassure Marjorie. When she was .ready and came down to the hall, she found Mary Green, who was a little older than herself, and who was to take her to the party. Mamma said they must hurry along. Somehow Mar- joi•'e's enthusiasm had gone, and she was beginning to grow afraid of the party. The little cloud grew larger and larger, and a tear slow- ly splashed on the best dress. Mary quickened her pace, half - dragging the reluctant little girl by the hand, and when they reached the front door, Mary lifted the heavy bronze knocker. The crisis bad come. The fearful sound was more than Marjorie could bear, and hastily wrenching her hand HEALTH "Tutt, BLUES."There are two opposite tendencies "n medical practise of the present day. One regards mental disturb- ances as dependent upon abnormal physical states; the other looks np- oe the mind as the regulator of, or ea least exerting a very marked in- fluence upon, the health of the body. Both thea° views are un- doubtedly right in part, and both are wrong in their exchtaiveness, in refusing to admit that the mind and the body exert a reciprocal in- fluence upon each other. Mons sans in corpore sand, a sound mind in 0 sound body, was the ancient definition of perfect health. In it was tine recognition of the fact that both mind and body have to do with health, and that neither can be dis- ordered without acting reflexly up- on the other. Putting aside the discussion of the influence of the mind upon the body, which no one who has given thought to the subject, however materialistic in his conceptions he may be, can doubt, it may be in- teresting and profitable as well to note an instance of the opposite in- fhience ; of the effect upon the men- tal vision of a slight bodily defect. Every one knows from sad ex- perience that uncomfortable condi- tion most approximately called "the blues." It is a state of tem- porary pessimism, tiering which the unhappy victim can see no silver lining to the clouds that beset his soul. The mental faculties aro not impaired, reason and judgment re- main, and one will- even admit, when argued with, that things aro not as black as they seem, yet he cannot dissipate the fog that. sur- rounds him and shuts out from Itis mental view all the blessings of his lot, It seems as if nothing is more purely mental than an attack of the blues, yet in fact nothing is more purely physical. It has no foun- dation of real grief, neither is it due to any apparent disease of the body. In fact, as has been argued very plausibly by a California phy- sician, it is frequently clue to ab- dominal congestion. This may seem absurd, but its explanation is ra- tional. The mind, in its •prison of the body, is dependent upon the heal- thy function of the brain cells, and this funoticn depends upon a sup- ply of good, pure blood. Stagna- tion anywhere in the system pre- vents this supply, and nowhere is stagnation more apt to occur than in the abdominal organs.
