"I aro not very sure about the woman remaining there; she, too, may be taking French' leave," Mr, Lyttleton remarked, after eonsid- oring the situation for a moment or two. "Your flight from the house will bo likely to alarm her; she will probably reason that El- len has betrayed her:identity, and that her own safety will depend en concealment." "I had not thought of that," said Gerald, looking a trifle annoyed. ""11 might be rather awkward if she should skip and we eoucd not find her when she is wanted." "Yes. I believe I will attend to having a warrant made out, and have her arrested at once, A bird in the hand, you know," his friend responded, The next morning at ten o'clock Mrs, Adama Brewster was waited upon at her rooms in the Norman - die by a gentlemanly official, by whom she was arrested, and, be- ing unable to obtain bond, she was committed to await her trial, or until she could communicate with ber son-in-law, Mr, John Hubbard, who, she excitedly declared, 'would attend to the matter of bail for her." The next day the same officer. armed with a similar warrant, and ell other necessary authority, sailed in the Aurania, to cut short the luxurious career of the said Mr. Hubbard, and the present posses- sor of the Brewster estate. (To be continued.) "That is right," said Mr. Lyt- tleton, Mr. Plum wrote both names on the piece of paper; then, with a careful use of a sharp- ink -eraser and a few strokes of his pen, he changed Adam Brewster into Alden Bronsbern, and Alan Brown into Adam Brewster. "By Jove! you've Mt the right nail on the head this time, if you never did it before1" exclaimed the lawyer, seizing tho sheet of paper and examining the names critical- ly. "How •do you solve the puz- zle' I'm sure this doesn't look bungled, if that work in New Haven does," He passed it up to Gerald as he concluded. "No, I should say not," the young man observed, with an amazed look; "one would almost be willing to swear that the names had never been tampered with." "Well, I flatter myself that I have made a fairly good job of it," Mr. Plum observed, as he gave a satis- fied squint at his work. "All the same, a man is a bungler who un- dertakes to alter another person's letters and figures without first making a careful study of their curves, angles, and other eharac- teristics. There is a 'wonderful amount of individuality in chiro- graphy—it's a very interesting study, very. Mr. Winchester, did you take a magnifying -glass with you when you went to examine those recordsl' "No; I never thought of it," Ger- ald replied; "but Mr. Lyttleton as- serted at once, upon my return, that forgery had been attempted in connection with those names." "Humph 1 It's as plain as the nose on your faee," returned Mr. Plum sententiously. "To you, perhaps, Mr. Plum; but really, I do not believe that one person in a thousand would think c t such a thing while reading those names. Truly, if John Hubbard tampered with them, it has been very cleverly clone," the young man thoughtfully replied. "I'd like to be as sure of my life and health fax the next year as I am that those letters have been changed just as I've shown you," said the expert. "I'm not often fooled with such jobs." "I haven't a doubt that you are right," said Mr. Lyttleton, "al- though I should never have thought those names could have been made over like that. You have a natural aptitude in discerning such things; then, you have made a study of such tricks for so many years, you have a right to feel confidence in your judgment; but to us, who are in- experienced in such matters, those records would, doubtles, appear genuine. They must have appear- ed so to that justice who witnessed the copy which was produced in court last year, to prove the iden- tity of the pseudo Mrs. Adam•Brow• ster." '"'Yes; of course it does take a certain amount of 'know how' to detect these flaws in chirography," Mr. Plum admitted, "I'd just like a glimpse of that woman's certifi- cate, and compare it with what I've seen to -day." "We'll give you a chance, sir, very soon," replied Mr. Lyttleton, with a confident nod. He was more than pleased with the result of the expert's trip to New Haven, and felt that, with the discovery of that clay, he now had all the evidence that was neces• sary to win the battle for his Ili• ent. "I' think, Gerald, we are now prepa.ed to rush ,natters as rapid- ly as we choose," he remarked, after Mr. Plum bad taken his leave, "Did you succeed in securing the address I desired you to get?" "Yes, sir; the lady at present figuring as Mrs. Adam Brewster Trailed a letter this morning to 'Mrs. John Hubbard, No. 4 Avenue de le Opera, Paris,' " the young man responded, with a significant smile.

II#{BU�� TO PROGRESSNI A The Press of Canada were favor ed with an invitation from the Northern. Navigation Company to le present on the first voyage of the new Steamship Hamonic, rec- ently cotapleted by the Oollingwood Shipbuilding Company, The Ha- monic is the fencer vessel afloat on fresh waters, and is completely a Canadian product from keel to mast head. She is 365 feet in length, has a breadth of 50 feet, with a .moulded depth of 27 feet, and a gross tonnage equal to 200. freight oars, or 5,000 tons, and in her appointments is superior to the average ocean liner. There is run- ning hot and 'cold water in every stateroom throughout the boat, with individual ventilation from the o•eo;%n VALUE OF OAT HAY FOR HORSE FEED. Good, well -cured oat hay makes an excellent feed for horses, and, also for almost all other kinds of live stock, as oats furnish the very best of coarse, cereal roughage, which is very good for their system. Oats aro often red unthrashed, and usually horses relish them, both straw and grain, and in fact it is a very good feed fed in this way, but for feeding both straw and oats we think it is quite common to sow oats in the spring, and later, when the crop is well advanced, to eat and mire as hay, the same as timothy or other hay crops. In this case the crop is not quite so mature as it would be if cut for threshing out the grain. When well cured, however, this makes a bright and very pala- table hay. Naturally the greener the condi- tion of the oats when cut the poorer will be the crop in digestible food. When cut for hay, oats should he mown as any other grass and treat- ed in a similar manner. Heavy succulent oats may be cut in the morning after the dew is off and then kept stirred to let in the air so as to cure out wall. With warm, drying weather this green oats may be cocked up the next clay after cut- ting, and if opened up and exposed the following day to a bright, clear sky, possibly may be bawled in that afternoon. However, the essential thing is to get in the crop free of excess moist- ure so that it will not mildew in the mow. The time required to do this will of coarse depend on the condi- tion of the oats. If very heavy more time will be required, but if rather light they will cure quicker. We believe that one of the most commonest faults in feeding horses is the lack of variety in feed. Tak- iug into consideration the number of differene grains and feedstuffs it does seem strange that every team owner should not provide for bis animals a ration that would be per- fectly acceptable to the system at all times. It is .s fact, however, that very few farmers give what aright be termed well-balanced t'.a- tion. Many of our farmers still cling to the old ration of corn and hay, which has long since proved to be expensive and wasteful. It you want the best results feed a ration that contains all the elements of nutri- tion in properly balanced portions. Corn alone it not a well-balanced grain for feeding, neither is oats nor barley, Barley is rapidly gain- ing favor as a feed, however, and when properly combined with the other grains makes 60 excellent ration, When you feed a ground ration, you prepare it for quick digestion, Your animals utilize ib more read- ily a d there is practically ne waste.

CANADIAN PRODUCT, While space does not permit us to mention more of the many ex- clusive features of the palatial Hamonic, it is certainly a point of eiational pride to remember that this beautiful and staunch, enorm- ous steamship is entirely a Cana- dian product, and was completed in detail at the yards of the Col- THE STEAMER "IIUIONIC." outside arranged for each room, while there are also numerous special suites which are equip- ped equal to the finest apart- ments to be obtained in the largest and most modern ho- tels. These rooms are fitted with large comfortable brass bedsteads, clothes closets, etc., and are furnished in mahogany or oak; ad- joining bathrooms have tile floor- ings and large porcelain baths, mir- rors, etc., and are complete in every requirement for comfort. Special mention should be made of the dining -room, which is situ- ated on one of the upper decks, where there is abundance of air and light, and a view of the water may be had from unusually large square plate -glass windows run- ning down from the ceiling to a level with the tables, This room is of imposing proportions, occu- pying the entire width of the ship, being 80 feet in length with double large plate -glass entrances from the Grand Saloon. The room is finished in selected solid mahogany, with tables and chairs of the same. From the centre of the dining -room rises a large donee, supported by handsome carved columns with ca- pitals, This room in every way would do justiceto the finest ocean liner of the most modern type. Beautifully carved stairways from either side of the Grand Sa- loon lead up to the Observation Room, of which the entire side walls are of large plate glass windows, giving an absolutely unobstructed view out over the water. The Ob- servation Room is the most popu- lar and enjoyable meeting -place of the entire boat, as here the men ivay sit in the larger wicker loung- ing chairs enjoying their cigars, and watch the passing scenery or talk with the ladies, have a game of cards or listen to the musie sup- plied by the orchestra, or perhaps a song from one of the ladies an - c tnpanied on the beautiful piano built specially to suit this room, which is finished in green weather- ed oak.

The old-fashioned way of placing the hand upon the child's body^and annuncing that it "felt Meanies or "had a fever, without any re- gard to mathematioel accuracy as to degrees and fractions, worked just as well and perhaps better than the new -fashioned way, carried to a nervous extreme, At the lames time a rise of temperature always means something, and it most de- cidedly means the calling in el a. physician if it does not go down of itself or yield to simple remedies. When the temperature is taken by the mouth $he thermometer should register about ninety-eight and seven -tenths, although this may vary at different times during, the day in perfectly well people_ When it registers ninety-nine de- grees, or ninety-nine and five - tenths degrees, the person is said to be feverish. Anything haloes ninety-eight degrees is subnormal, and anything over one hundred and five degrees is called hyerpyrexia, or high fever. In many cases a fever is a sorb of blessing in, disguise. These are the fevers caused by the toxins of bacteria, of which typhoid is a type. The whole system is then engaged in a fight against the germs, and the battle is waged to more advant- age, apparently, when "the blood is fighting hot." This is why, al- though the fever can be beaten down by the applieation of cold and the administration of drugs, it is often poor practise to suppress it M this way. Getting the fever down may be a momentary satisfac- tion, but it does nothing to help cure the underlying cause. It is as if a general should insist upon silencing his own guns. At the same time the fever must be watched and kept in check, be- cause this sort of fight is calling for un immense outlay from the system, and a raging fever not only burns up bacteria, but it feeds upon tis- sue and blood and all it can find as any one can testify who has watched or lived through a conval- escence from one, What is true of the fever of a germ disease is false altogether in the fever of sunstroke. In this ease the fever is the disease: le is not a regiment of infantry, but a conflagration, and it must be put out as quickly as possible, and by all the means at one's disposal—cold baths, ice -packs, ice -water, any- thing that will beat it down. The character of a fever is a great assistance to diagnosis in many cas- sis, and this is why a physician should always be asked to sit in judgment on it, Youth's Compan- ion. lingwood Shipbuilding Company.

The vessel has a double bottom contain- ing 14 compartments, and the hull is divided into 9 water -tight com- partments with steel bulk -heads running up to the spar -deck, com- pletely separating the freight spaces from the part of the ship occupied by the passengers and crew. GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY. The Grand Trunk Railway Sys- tem ran a special train from Te- rmite to Collingwood to accommo- date the guests for the trip, and also had a special train which met the boat at Sarnia, taking all back to Toronto again. Each of the ladies of the party was presented with roses, and the gentlemen were given cigars, after a very excel- lent luncheon had been served. The Hamonic will, nest week, be put on the regular weekly route from Sarnia to Port Arthur, Fort William, Duluth .and return, with which the Grand Trunk Railway will make connections. PRESENTATION TO 1 'A MONIC Just at the completion of the voyage, a. special presentation of a silver plate for the Hamonic was made by the guests as a nark of appreciation of the courtesy exten- ded to them by the Northern Navi- gation Company and the Grand Trunk Railway System. Speeches were delivered by Hon, Frank Cochrane, Minister of Mines; Hon, W. J. Hanna, Provincial Secre- tary; Capt. Foote of the Hamonic, and Chas. M. Hayes, Gen- eral Manager Grand Trunk Rail- way System. The guests consist- ed of officials of the Northern Na- vigation Company, Grand Trunk Railway System, and members of the Press throughout Canada, —4orouto Truth horse digests the food quickly, and tening ration has been found most whatever ration you feed should effective in our poultry department, be prepared with a view to supply viz: TWO parts finely -ground oats; the nutrition the horse needs, one part finely -ground barley ; one Your horses will work better and 1 1 keep in better Condition on a small- er amount of ground grains of the proper kind, and en abundant sup- ply of good doughage, sueh as well - .cured oat hay, than they will on a ration of whole corn, feed them what you will of it..

To Prevent Colds.—A simple way to get warm after exposure to cold ie to take a long breath with the mouth firmly shut. Repeat this several times until you begin to feel the heat returning. It requires a very short time to do this. Tho long breath quickens the pulse and thus causes the blood to circulate faster. The blood flows into all parts of the veins and arteries and gives out a great deal of heat. It is stated this method of deep breath- ing prevents colds and a great many other ailments if begun in time, Hot onions, according to a French r:hysiciau are said to be a sure cure foe pneumonia. The remedy is as follows: Take six or ten onions, ac- cording to size, and chop fine, put ii, a large pan over a fire, then add
