CHAPTER XIII.-(C'ont'd)
"He at once aroused my curio
sity by 'telling me sensational de-
tails of a widespread plot to de-
thro:ie to Sultan. An essential
part of the conspiracy was to ob-
tain possession of the diamonds be-
fore they had been cat, as they
were an heirloom from the Prophet,
and it would be a terrible thing in
the eyes of the more fanatical s;eo-
tion of the Mohammedans if they
were tampered with in any way.
'`This sounded reasonable
enough, as the same story had been
dinned in my ears for several
weeks.
"At last we reached the Carl-
ton. We got out and he paid the
cabman, who drove off round the
corner; then my new acquai,itanee
explained to me that he placed nu
greater tryst in his fellow -country -
Men than did their ruler. There-
fore he hat! led them to believe he
was staying at that hotel, whereas
'he had in reality taken up his
abode in the fiat of a French fam-
ily with whom he was acquainted,
If I would come with him for a
moment he promised to place me
in possession of certaie documents
which would render easy my expla
nations to the Foreign Office next
morning.
"I accompanied him without hesi-
tation, secure in the knowledge that

ins'' -de and outside the house. We
went to the mansions where he said
he lived. The place had a perfect-
ly respectable exterior, and is situ-
ated, as you know, in a reputable
thoroughfare. We ascended to the
second floor, entered the fiat, and
were ushered by a middle-aged
Frenchwoman into a sort of sitting -
room.
"Dubois turned to a writing -desk
and unlocked a drawer.
"'Here are the decrements 1
promised you, Mr. Talbot,' he said :
but, to my .amazement, he whippeci
out a revolver and held it within
two feet of my breast.
"'If you move, or attempt to cry
out; seep area dead man!'
"At the same instant a door be-
hind me opened and some three or
four persons entered. I was so
furious at the trick that had been
played upon me that 1 disregarded
his threat and sprang at him. but
he did not fire, FIiuging the re-
volver behind him un the writing
table he closed with me. Before I
well knew what had happened 1
was tied hand and foot, gagged,
and placed helpless in a chair. A
few minutes later, alter a mutter-
ed consultation between my cap-
tors, I was taken to the room in
which Fairhohne found me, and 1
never left the place until nearly
nine o'clock last night.
"It was a most ghastly experi-
ence. I would sooner die than go 1
through it again.
"If ever I get within measurable
distance of Monsieur Henri Dubois.
I promise you that I will repay c
him with interest some of the agony
he inflicted on me. I never thought
I should hate a man as I hate that s
Frenchman. 1 do not want to kit] a
him. I want to torture him!"
This was the first sign that Tal-
bot had given of the anger that
filled his soul. For a moment ne
one spoke. Edith stifled a sob, and
Sir Hubert Fitzjames broke the
tension of swearing as vehemently
as ever d'.icl the army in Flanders.
"lou have suffered," £sial Brett
quietly, "but not in vain. 'It is

Waldorf Astor's arbitrary atti-
tude with regard to fishing rights
in that portion of the River Thames
which runs through his property
near London hacl an embarrassing
sequel during his last visit to Ire-
land, He was stopping at Ballyna-
hinch Castle, Galway, and having
heard stirring accounts of the num-
ber's and weight of the pike in
Air. Waldorf Astor, M.P.
Lough Oorrib and the foe sport
the fish provided, he went out with
rod and line to try his luck.
There are usually no restrictions
with regard to fishing, in season,
in the Corrib, but Astor's reputa-
tion had preceded him, and local
fishermen determined to spoil the
millionaire's sport. The tenant
whose land adjoins that portion of
the lake in which Astor commenced
to operate his line indignantly or-
dered him off as a trespasser under
penalty of prosecution.
A few dollars were offered in con-
sideration of allowing the sport to
proceed, but the tenant refused to
be bribed or cajoled, so Astor had
to remove himself and his tackle
amid the cat calls of an assembled
crowd of young and old anglers who
came to back up the veteran in his
uncompromising attitude.
Five or six years ago Waldorf
Astor came into conflict with
Thames anglers over the right of
fishing in that part of the river ad-
joining his land at Cliveden. He
first tried to stop them from fish-
ing in those waters under any cir-
cumstances, but the Thames Con-
servancy, who are responsible for
the stocking and preservation 91
the fish, claimed the right of recog-
nized fishing clubs to fish there.
Astor insisted on his "rights"
and told the anglers and the
Thames Conservancy authorities
that if they wanted sport they
should go into the river in boats
and ply their rod and _lino from
there, but they must not stanch on
his land. His action caused much
indignation, and evidently it is be-
ing stored up against him. -

On the Farm
KEEP BARNYARDS CLI!EAN.
It has always been a source o£ -
groat wonder to me how any dairy-
man can expect to produce good
milk when his cows aro compelled,
to wade through mud anal filth in
the barnyard, writes Mr. J. B.
Lyon,
Even if the barn itself is sornpu-
lonsly clean—which it cannot be it
the yards are muddy—the odor aris-
ing from the filthy barnyard will
offset all the efforts made to keep.
the milk clean when it comes from
the cows.
There is no one solution to fit all
barnyards, Each must bo treated_
by itself and to meet the conditions
existing in it. If the yard is situ-
ated on a gentle slope, all that will'
be needed is tile drainage, placed.
about six feet apart. Tile will keep
any barnyard perfectly dry, but if;
thee° is only an occasional low placea.
in the yard the tiling need net be
placed so close together.
In some yards a great deal of
broken rock, gravel and coal cin-.
ders are necessary to keep the.
ground in good condition. If the
ground is a black heavy soil it may,
be kept reasonably dry by covor-
ing'. it with these materials. Tho''
first thing to be done is to 00100100
the top soil to a depth of at least
six inches, then cover the ground
with the largest broken rock. This
may be in pieces of from two to five
inches in diameter, Large pebbles
are excellent for this purpose at
they allow the water to dram per-
fectly from the surface.
The layer of large rocks or stone
should be thoroughly tamped down'
with a heavy tamping iron or relied
with a field roller.
The second layer should bo a lit-
tle smaller and the third vary fine
crushed stone. The last layer may
be mixed with cindees which make
a hard surface and if it is properly
leveled off can after time easily bo
scraped with an iron or wooden
hoe.
Of course, the, ideal barnyard is
ono made of crushed rock and ce-
ment, but this is quite expensive
and is hardly necessary. With a
clean dry yard -surrounding the
dairy barn the milk can be kept in
perfect condition as it is nota dif-
ficult matter to remove every par-
ticles of manure or mud from the
yard every day.
I once saw in Pennsylvania a
dairy consisting of 60 cows where
the barnyard was as clean as the
floor of the barn itself. The floor
was cemented but the barnyard was
finished with crushed stone and cin-
ders, cement being :nixed with the
top layer all well smoothed off. Two
mon with a wooden scraper with a
surface about two feet pushing
them before them, cleaned up this
yard thoroughly in 30 minutes twice
a day. This was equal to two hours
of one man's time, but the dairy-
man said he thought it time well
spent as ho never could produce
milk absolutely free from odors un-
til he had fixed hissesarnyard as de-
scribed.
KEEP MILK CLEAN.
Only those farmers who either
fail to profit by the lessons taught
in producing sanitary milk or who
have never learned such lessons,
continue to mill: in the old-fashion-
ed open pail, into which falls filth
from the cows' flanks and which al-
lows the milk to absorb all the
odors that surround it.
ly the use of sanitary milk pails,
dirt can be kept out of the milk,
and that is the main thing. It is
much easier to produce pure milli
by keeping the dirt out of it than
to attempt to take it out after it
has once fallen in.
But the: sanitary milk pail alone
will net give us aleali milk. The
cows must be thoroughly brushed
every day, and their udders washed
and dried just before milking. The
milking must be done in absolutely
clean sheds or in the open, prefer-
ably on a grass plot, and the milk
removed to a clean House, 1x11000
it can be quickly cooled.
One of these things is good
enough in its way, but all must be
observed if we produce an article
that is absolutely eleen.
GOOD SUGGESTIONS.
Cut out the old hoes, the cocker-
els and useless roosters, fatten and
trend them to market. De it now,
because they will eat their treads
elf during the winter if kept with
the fleck,
Never sell the best pullets from
the fleck any more than you would
sell your best sows and owes. Only
by keeping the best for breeding
ptu'poses can you hope to build up
your bock, ,
As diseased chickens aro always
hard to cure the best way, to save
trouble, is to prevent disease by
keeping the premises el:rsolut,ely
clean, 1f thin is done—which does
not' mean half way clown, but eh
seliteedy—very few diseases will
