GREEN OR MIXED 063 ONLY A M NT OR, A CURIOUS MYSTERY EXPLAINED. CHAPTER XXV.-(Cont'd) The next morning, as a natural consequence, he began the clay with a dull, miserable headache; es breakfast he hardly spoke, and he set off for business looking so In that Sigrid wondered whether he could possibly get through his work. About ,half past nine there arriv- ed a telegrams which did not mend matters. Mr. Boniface was serious- ly unwell, would not be in town that day, and could not be at St. James's Hall that evening for the concert. Mr. Horner would take his place. Frithiof's heart sunk at this news; and when presently the fussy, bumptuous little pian enter- ed the shop the -climax of his mis- ery was reached. Mr. Horner read the telegram with a disturbed air. "Dear! dear! seriously ill, I'm afraid, or he would at least make an effort to come to -night. But al- ter all the annoyance of yesterday I am not surprised—no, not at all. Such a thing has never happened in his business before, ay, Mr. Fes- ter?" "Oh, no, sir," said the foreman, in a low voice, sorry in his heart for the young Norwegian, who could not avoid hearing every word. "It was quite enough to make him ill. Such a disgraceful affair in a house of this class. For his own sake he does well to hush it up, though I intend to see that all pro- per precautions are taken; upon that, at any, rate, I insist. If I had my own way there should have been none of this misplaced leniency. Hero, 'William!" and he beckoned to the boy, who was irreverently flicking the bust of Mozart with a duster, "Yes, sir," said William, "Go at once to Smith, the iron- monger, and order him to send some one round to fix a spring bell on a till. Do you understand?" "Quite, sir," replied William. Frithiof went on arranging some music which had just arrived, but he flushed deeply, and Mr. Horner, glad to have found a vulnerable point of attack, did not ecruple to make the most of his opportunity. "Why should I mind this vulgar brute?" thought Frithiof, as he forced himself to go on with his work with the air of quiet determin- ation which Mr. Horner detested. The miserable hours dragged on somehow, and at last, -late in the afternoon, Foster came up to him with a message. "Mr. Horner wishes to speak to you," he said; "I will take your place here." Then, lowering his voice cautiously, "It's my opinion, Mr. Feick, that he is trying to goad you into resigning, or into an im- pertinent answer which would be sufficient to cause your dismissal," "Thank you for the warning," said Frithiof, gratefully. Mr. Horner replied to hisknock , but did not glance round as he en- tered the room. "You wished to speak to me, sir 1" asked Frithiof.' "Yes; when I have finished this letter. You can wait," said Mr. Horner, ungraciously. Mr. Turner signed his name with a flourish characteristic of his opin- lon of himself, then swung round his chair and glanced at Frithiof. "Mr. Boniface left no instruo- tions as to whether you were to at- tend as usual at St. James's Hall to -night," he began. "But since no one else is used to the workI. "appose there is no help for it." Ile paused, apparently expecting dome rejoinder, but Frithiof merely stood there politely attentive. "Since you know the work, and are used to 3t, you had better at- tend as usual, for I should be vexed R any hitch should occur in the ar- rangements. But understand, pray, that 1 etrongly disapprove of your remaining in our employ at all, and that it is; only au t of necessity that submit to it, /or T topsider you unfit to mix with respectable hoo- pla') l''hatever the Norwegian felt, he managed to preserve a perfectly un- moved aspect. Mr. Horner, who wanted to stir him into indignant expostulation, was surely disap- pointed that his remarks fell so flat. "I see you intend to brazen it out," he said, crushingly. `But you don't deceive me. You may leave the room, and take good care that all the arrangements to -night are properly carried out." "Yes, sir," said Frithiof, with the quietness of one who knows that he remains master of the situation. Owing to the concert, his release came a little sooner than usual, and it was not much after seven when Sigrid heard him at the deur. His face frightened her; it Iooked so worn and harassed. "You will have time for some sup- per?" she asked, pleadingly. "No," he said, passing her quick- ly, "I am not hungry, and must change my clothes and be off again." "He might fanny some coffee," said Sigrid to herself. "Quick, Swanhild, run and get it ready while I boil the water. There is nothing like strong cafe noir when one is tired out." Perhaps it did him some good; and the glimpse of his home cer- tainly cheered him, yet, neverthe- less, he was almost ready that night to give up everything in de- spair Physical exhaustion had dulled the glow of inner comfort that had come to him on the previous day. His old hatred against those who succeeded once more filled his heart and thought at one time he had felt curious to eee Donati, and had heard all that Cecil had said in favor of the Italian's courage and unselfishness, yet now, in his bit- terness of soul, he began to hate the man merely because of his po- pularity. The architects of most English music -halls have scant regard for the comfort of the artistes. Here, sitting face to face on hard benches, were ranged to -night many of the first singers of the day. There was Sardoni, the good-natured English tenor and composer. There was Mme. Sardoni-Borelli, with her noble and striking face and man- ner; besides a •host of other cele- brities. But Carlo Donati had not yet arrived, and Mr, Horner kept glancing anxiously through the glass doors on to the staircase in hopes of catching sight of the great barytone. Frithiof lived through it all like a man in a dream. Mr. Horner turned to Frithiof at that moment. "Go and eee whether Signor Do- nati has come," he said. "His song is next on the programme." Frithiof made his way to the oloak room, and, as he walked through room leading the narrow r m to it, he could distinctly hear the words of some one within. The voice seemed familiar to him. "Badly received? Well, you only failed because of nervousnese. In your second song you will be more used to things, and, yon will eee, it will go much better," "But you surely can never have had the same difficulty to struggle with?" said the young tenor, who, with a very downcast feet, stood talking to the newly arrived bary- tone. "Never l" exclaimed the other, with a laugh which rang through the room, "Ask Sardoni I He'll tell you of my first appearance." 'Then, as Frithiof gave his mes- sage, the speaker turned round and revealed to the Norwegian that face which had fascinated him se strangely just before his illness—a face not enly beautiful in outline and coloring, but full of an unde- fined charm, which made all theor res as to the oontoit and objection- ableness of successful men fall to the ground. "Thank you," he said, bowing in reply; I will come down at onose All went smoothly until, early in hlst. J. 1'll•:11i'ONT tont#:LN, The Great American Financier. the second part, the Italian bary- • tone was to sing a song with violin obligate. By some unlucky acci- dent 1 rithiof forgot to place the �' mu_,eStand for the violinist; and perceiving this as soon as they were on the platform, Donati himself brought it forward and put it in position. It was but a trilling oe- eurreuee, but quite sufficient to rouse Mr. Horner, When the sin- ger returned he apologized pro- fusely, and turned upon Frithiof with a rebuke, the tune of which made Dunati's eyes flash. "Pray du not make so much of it," he said, with a touch of dig- nity in his manner. Then return- ing again from one of his journeys to the platfurm, and noticing the expression of Frithiof's face, he paused to speak to him for a mo- ment before returning to give the encore that was emphatically de- manded. It was not so much what he said as his manner of saying it that caused Frithiof's face to brighten, and brought a frown to James Horner's brow. CHAPTER XXVT. Carlo Donati had considerable in- sight into character; not wily had he been born with this gift, but his wandering life had brought him in- to contact with all sorts and condi- tions of men, and had been an ex- cellent education to one who had always known how to observe. He was, moreover, of so sympathetic a temperament that he could gen- erally tell in a moment when trou- ble was in the air, and the ridicu- lously trivial affair about the music - stand, which could not have dwelt in his mind for a minute on its own account, opened his eyes to the re- lations existing between Mr. Hor- ner and the Norwegian. That something was wrong with the lat- ter he had perceived when Frithiof had first spoken to him in the cloak- room, and now, having inadvertent- ly been the cause of bringing upon him a severe rebuke, he was deter- mined to make what amends lay in his power. He cut short Mr. Horner's flatter- ing remarks and reiterated apolo- gies as to the slight contretemps. "Pt is of no consequence at all," he said. "By the bye, what is the nationality of that young fellow ? I like his face." "He is Norwegian," replied Mr. Horner, glancing at Frithiof, who was arranging the platform for Mme. Gauthier, the pianiste. "You think, no doubt, that I spoke. too severely to him just now, but you do not realize what a worthless fel- low he is. My partner retains him merely out of charity, but he has been proved to be unprincipled and dishonest," The last few words reached Fri- thiof distinctly as he cane down the steps; he turned ghastly pale, his very lips grew white; it was as though some one had stabbed him as he re-entered the little room, and the eyes that turned straight to the eyes of the Italian were full of a dumb anguish which Donati never forgot. Indignant with the utter want of kindness and tact which Mr. Horner had shown, he turned abruptly away without making the slightest comment on the words, but often through the evening, when Frithiof was engrossed in other things, Donati quietly watch ed him, and the more he saw of hila the less he was able to believe the truth of the accusation. Mean- time he was waiting for his ONE I!Yf 'ALL VINO It's the CLEANEST, SIMPLEST, end BEST 001,E 07E, one env, hay—why yea don't seta have to I:now idiot KIND of.

The round barn has a special ad- vantage in the work of distributing silage to the cows, Feeding com- mences at the chute where it is thrown down and eontinued around the circle ending with the silage cart at chute again ready for the next feeding. Tho same is true in feeding hay and grain, writes Mr. W. J. Fraser, Another great advantage is the large, unobstructed haymow. With the self-supporting roof there are no timbers whatever obstrueting the mow, which means no dragging of hay around or over posts or gird- ers. The hay carrier runs on a cir- cular track around the mow, mid- way between the silo and the out- side wall and drops the hay at any desired point, which means the sav- ing of much labor. The circular construction is the strongest, because it takes advant- age of the lineal instead of the breaking strength of rho lumber. Each row of boards running around the barn forms a hoop that holds the barn together. Any piece of timber is many times stronger on a lineal pull than on a breaking stress. All exposed surfaces of a round barn are circular, as both the sides and roof are arched, which is the strongest form of construction to resist wind pressure. Besides, the wind 1n striking it glances off, and can get no direct hold on the walls or roof as it can on the flat side or gable ends of a square or rectangu- lar structure. If the lumber is properly placed in a round barn much of it will per- form two or more functions. Every row of siding boards running around the building serves also as a brace and the same is true of the roof boards and the arched rafters. If the siding is put on vertically and the roof built dome shape, no scaffolding is required inside or out. These are points of economy in the round construction. Another item of economy in the circular barn is less framing lum- ber. This form has the strongest possible construction with the least lumber in the frame and the least bracing, not a single timber larger than a two by six being required above the sill, The arched circular roof requires no support and no scaffolding is needed inside during its construction. In comparing the 00 -foot round barn with a rectangu- lar barn of the same area, the two barns should afford the cows the same amount of space on the plat- form. Allowing each cow in the 60 - foot round barn three feet six inch- es in width at the rear of the plat- form, it will accommodate 40 cows and leave space for two passage- ways. But, in a rectangular barn only three feet four inches plat- form space need be allowed for each cow and the 78% -foot barn, with. two three-foot passageways across it for convenience in feed- ing, will accommodate 42 cows. While the rectangular barn has stall room for two or more cows, the round barn contains space in the centre for a silo eighteen foot in diameter. The complete bills for materials for these barns show the exact sav- ing in lumber on the 60 -foot round barn over the plank and mortise frame rectangular barns, 36x78% feet, The lumber bills of the rectangu- lar barn show an increase in cost of 28 per cent, for the plank frame and 54 per cent, for the mortise frame. The round barn 60 feet in diameter, contains 118'/.., and the rectangular barn 225 lineal feet of wall. The 90 -foot round barn would hold 100 cows in two rows, headed together, 66 of which would be in the outer circle and have three feet six inches each in width at the gut- ter. This leaves sufficient room for feed alleys and walks and two pas- sageways, one three feet and the other seven feet wide for the ma- nure and feed earner. All of this is outside of the central space tor a silo twenty feet in diameter and 71 feet high, with a capacity of 620 tons of silage and in the mow there would still be an excess above the capacity of the rectangular barn of 33,000 cubic feet, which would hold 66 tons of hay or as much as the entire mow of a barn 32x36 feet with twenty -foot posts. In the final summing up of the cost of all the material for the nom- Onthe Farrn tunity, but he was unable to get a word with the Norwegian until the end of the concert, when he met hint on the stairs, "Are you at liberty?" he asked "Is your work hero over?" Frithiof replied in the affirms• Live; and offered to look for the great berytone's carriage, imagin- ing that this must be the reason he. had addressed him. "Oh, as tai the carriage!" said Donati, easily, "it will bo waiting at the corner of Sackville Street. But I wanted a few minutes' talk with you, Med first of all to apolo- gize /or having been the unwilling hearer of that accusation, which I fain quite SUNS is falai)," (fo be continued:) TOE VALETS OF KIN GEORGE ABOIJP THE ROYAL GEN'.ILBI MAN'S GENTLEMEN, The Chief Valet Speaks Engilslq French, German and Italian. His Majesty has three valets—a chief and two assistant valets. The • chief valet has been with his Majes- ty for the past twelve years. His duties are to superintend the care of the Royal wardrobes, to attend on the Ring in the Royal dressing - room, and to crake all instructions concerning the King's clothes which may be given him either directly by his Majesty or by one of the private secretaries, says London Answers. His Majesty's clothes are kept in a large room adjoining the dressing - room. The walls of rho room are lined with wardrobes, which are di- vided into two sections—ono sec- tion contains the King's uniforms, and the other his Majesty's ordi- nary morning, walking, and evening suits of clothes. Overnight, the chief valet is in- structed regarding the uniforms, if any, and the suits of clothes which the King will require for wear the following day, and these are placed by the assistant valets in the Royal dressing -room. Before a snit or uniform is sent into the Royal dressing -room it is inspected by the chief valet, to see that it is proper- ly brushed, ironed, and ready for wear, No Assistance Required. Every morning the suits which the King has worn the day previously are brushed and ironed by the assis- tant valets. The King, it may be noted, never wears the same suit two days run- ning. As a rule his Majosty would not wear the same suit oftener than once in the week, and when it has been worn about two dozen times ib would be put out of the Royal ward - rob as. The present King keeps earlier hours than did his late Majesty, King George customarily rises at seven o'clock, when he takes a cup of light coffee, which the chief valet brings him directly the Ring enters his dressing -room. His Majesty then has his bath;'which is always a cold one; whilst the King is in his bath -room, the chief valet puts the links and studs into his Majesty's shirt, puts out an assortment of ties on the dressing -table, and places the boots or shoes the Ring intends to wear on a mahogany boot -stand, and then retires. The Sing dresses himself without the aid of a valet, except when put- ting on a uniform, when the chief valet is generally in attendance. When the King travels, the chief valet superintends the packing df his Majesty's luggage, which is done by the assistant valets. A list of everything that is to bo peeked is made out by the chief valet, and on the arrival of the luggage at the Sing's destination the list is check- ed over by the chief valet whilst the portmanteaus are being unpacked.
