"Oh, dear, yes!" assented Falkland
readily. "It was the talk ot London.
A Well, what have they discovered1!"

time of all those forgeries is supposed
to have left New York on the steamer
City of Chicago on the 12th of this
month; and, should this really he so,
he ought to have arrived in Liverpool
at the beginning of the week. Just as
you were speaking of this Brown of
'London it struck me "
"That he might be the forger him-
self? Ah, perhaps he is," exclaimed
Evelyn, with a gleam of amusement
In her eyes. "Let us all keep a careful
watch upon him, and do our best to
gain the reward which somebody has
I offered for him."
"Very well, Miss Eve; you may de-
pend upon me to help you in your In-
vestigations. My services are at your
disposal whenever you may require
them," was Falkland's reply; but,
though the words were uttered lightly,
there was a sort of resolution lying
latent beneath his apparent careless-
ness. "Only do not forget to take care
of your own cheque-books, or in the
meanwhile you may find he has been
dipping pretty heavily into your ex-
chequers as well. But goodby for the
present. I shall be coming again to
see for which night you will like tick-
ets for the theater, and then I will
telephone down."
* As the door closed behind the tall,
rather gaunt, but at the sauie time
prepossessing form of Gilbert Falk-
land, Lady Howard sank hack in her
chair with a sign of supreme satisfac-
tion.
"Dear me, what should we do with-
out that man? He is really too good
his words had carried more weight
than he had had the satisfaction of
imagining.
At the time it had never struck her
as peculiar that a man who was an
absolute stranger to her should have
been able to single out from the num-
ber of letters one in particular for her,
thus showing that he knew her address
perfectly. It puzzled her though, con-
siderably now, especially as the idea
Hashed through her mind, as it had
done before even as she stood in the
hall that that letter was not lying
among the others when she had first
looked over the table. It fiad seemed
a trifling - matter at the time; she
would never have troubled to think
anything more about It If Mr. Falkland
had not declared that this man must
have known something of her name
and had taken the earliest opportunity
of trying to make her acquaintance.
But now, since he had told her what
really villainous characters were con-
stantly to be found at such quiet sea
side hotels as the "Royal George," she
began to realize that, if this Mr.
Brown were one of the number, he
would be capable of anything, and,
seeing her coming, had probably hid-
den her letter in order to obtain the
necessary excuse for addressing her.
"Well, at any rate, he Bhall not
speak to me again!" mentally resolved
Miss Luttrell, as she stirred her coffee
and buttered a piece of toast. "Mr.
Brown of London is mistaken If he
imagines that Aunt Lydia and I are
two helpless individuals whom he can
take in and impose upon as he likes.
He had better try—that is all!"

There was nothing for it therefore j
but to let things take _ their own |
course for a day or two, In the mean-
while preserving such a strict silence,
when chancing to encounter Miss Lut-
trell, as to disarm her of all suspic-
ions, and then to trust tu fate to
throw lier in some way across his
rath. At any rate, he was prepared
to remain an occupant of No. 40, on
the second floor of the"Uoyal George,
even if he had to remain until dooms-
day for that auspicious moment to ar-
rive.
Until doomsday! Yet, when only
one hot sultry afternoon, one cool
dewey evening, and one sunshiny
morning had passed, Major Brown was
thoroughly impatient.
It was the afternoon of the second
Testing Cream !>v Weight.
From Farmers' Review: Since the
number of hand separators has In-
creased at home dairies, creamery but-
ter-makers have occasion to test a
considerable number of cream samples,
and this has been the source of a
great many inquiries during the past
few months In regard to cream test-
ing. Evidently factories are now re-
ceiving a great deal more cream from
their patrons than has formerly been
the case. A request was recently
made for "a rule for testing fat in
cream when testing by weight." In

An Inexpensive Silo.
A correspondent of the Farmers' Re-
view writes: The silo has become a
necessary adjunct to a large propor-
tion of farms, especially dairy farms.
Various styles of silo are constructed,
but a very simple stave silo within
the means of almost anyone is de-
scribed by the Virginia Experiment
Farm. A circle 16 feet in diameter Is
marked on the ground and covered
with short pieces of plank. Four
pieces of plank 16 feet long, 6 inches
wide, and 2 inches thick are then set
on end on the circle at equal Intervals.
These are held in an upright position
by braces in various directions. An
iron band Is placed about 1 foot from
the bottom of the silo and hold in po-
sition by nails driven Into the plank
and bent up and over the band. A sec-
ond band Is placed about 1 foot from
the top. The rest of the staves are
then set in place, a nail being driven
into each to support the bands. The
latter are then tightened somewhat and
3 more put on, the distance between
the bands being about 4 feet. Instead
of hoops of round Iron ordinarily used,
bands made as follows are recom
mended: Procure (as can usually be
done) partially worn tire Iron from
heavy wagons. Get a smith to rivet,
not weld, these together so that two
bands will go around the silo. Rivet
to the ends of these bands short pieces
of iron one-half inch thick by 2 inches
wide. Turn up 3 inches of this thick
iron and punch three-fourths Inch holes
in the turned-up portion. For each
band procure ""two bolts a foot long
and three-fourths inch in diameter.
Have threads cut on holts nearly the
entire length, and place these bolts
through the holes in upturned ends
put on nuts and tighten the silo. These
are stronger, cheaper and easier to
work than the round bands, and con-
sidered a great improvement over the
latter.
The Major shrugged his shoulders
and knocked the ashes somewhat im-
patiently off his cigar as he suddenly
found himself lost in a vague mental
speculation as to how far those en-
treaties would fail or succeed. All th
same, there was a slight frown upon
his forehead as he turned away from
the window; and, apparently forget-
ting his resolution to take a walk
round the town, he threw himself into
a low chair, to puff away at his cigar
with renewed energy.
The hour of three had struck in
loud measured tones before he roused
himself again; and then, as though by
instinct, he returned to his post at
the window just in time to catch a
glimpse of Miss Luttrell and a large
white parasol disappearing across the
lawn in the direction of an Inviting
clump of trees.
So tho fellow had failed, after all!
Involuntarily a smile rose to the Ma-
jor's face, a particularly unsympathet-
ic smile.
"Pottr beggar!" he ejaculated.

The discussion as to the correct
method of producing that most profit-
able and hlgli-prlced product, the fash-
ionable carriage horse ot today, has
been raging with great virulence In
all the farm and stock publications.
Editorially The Breeder's Gazette re-
cently advised having a bit of blood
in the marc. A contributor to that
paper says: Unquestionably this is
needful where any of the foreign
coaching or carriage stallions are used,
for they each and every one carry such
heavy infusions of draft blood that
bred to draft marcs the result la any-
thing but the carriage typo. Recent
shipments establish this rule beyond
question. Now If a bit of blood Is
needed in the mare to give Unlsh, style,
action, pace and salable quality when
the foreign heavy-harness stallion Is
used why may not the reverse of this
operation work? Suppose that from
among the great multitude of draft
mares with which our farms are stock-
ed some of those possessing good form
and action were coupled with a harness
horse of good size, superior action and
breeding? Here are the same ele-
ments, why should not the same com-
pound result? Allow me to say that
It does with uniformity. My reasons
for saying so are as follows:
June 18, 1894, a neighboring farmer,
who is also a buyer and shipper ot
horses, came to my place with a big
draft mare, almost white In color and
quite coarse—not at all the type ot
draft mare which I would select to
couple with a harness horse. She had
been at the farm of an Importer for
two seasons, being stinted to draft stal-
lions without result. Ho wanted to
try a harness stallion to Btart her
breeding and she was coupled with one
that day. The next year ho brought
her back with a seal-brown filly at
foot, and she again got with foal by
a single service. Just before the
sleighing left he drove up In front of
my office with a handsome young
mare, clean of limb and a breedy look-
er. shouting: "Come out and look at
a good one." I asked him why be did
not ship her and he replied that he
liked to drive a good one himBelf; that
he had stepped her from his place to
Chatfleld, thirteen miles, In an hour.
I told him he ought to be ashamed to
drive a growthy youngster that way
and he replied that It never hurt her,
she did It easy.
Now what more could the foreigner
do on a bit of blood than the native
harness stallion, with many times
more than a bit of blood, accomplished
on the foreign draft blood?

in troubling himself so much about us
and our concerns."
Lady Howard spoke feelingly. No-
body could have ever taken the reins
of government more unwillingly into
her own hands than her ladyship had
done upon the death of her husband
three years before, when she had been
left a rich but somewhat helpless
widow, with a large estate and three
growing children. In the years of her
married life everything had devolved
upon Sir Wilfred; and, though, as time
wore on, she became more accustomed
to her sense of perfect Independence,
and had actually consented to an addi-
tional care in the shape of the guard-
ianship of her niece, her brother's
child, she was still only too thankful
If any one would relieve her a little of
the weight of the responsibilities which
liung so heavily upon her shoulders.
Consequently Gilbert Falkland,
-whom they had chanced to meet upon
the continent for tho first time only
a month before, but who had Intro-
duced himself as one of the late Sir
Wilfi'ed's oldest friends, had found his
attentions thoroughly acceptable to the
widow; and, as it happened that ho
had been going by the same route as
Lady Howard and her niece, he had
constituted himself courier and guide,
and had taken upon his own shoulders
all the troubles and worries insepa-
rable from continental traveling.
At home In England once more, for-
tune had thrown Mr. Falkland across
tlielr path again, and Lady Howard
was only too pleased if he would still
do anything for her, even If it were
merely to arrange a drive or decide
which ot the pieces at the theaters was
k really worth seeing.
But Evelyn scarcely heard the sigh
ot contentment which had followed
Mr. Falkland's departure. Her thoughts
were running in quite another direc-
tion; for, In spite of the nonchalance
with i hirh she had laughed away Gil-
bert Falkland's observations upon the
encounter w 1th the man In the hall,
was somewhat breathlessly mounting
the last flight, a tall figure, which she
recognized at a glance as Major
Brown's, suddenly appeared at the top
of the staircase, which he was just
about to descend.
Summoning all her dignity to her
aid and with her head set proudly
back, Miss Luttrell had prepared to
pass on quickly without deigning him
more than a coldly regal bow, when
to her amazement, as his eyes met hers,
he immediately paused before her.
"I beg your pardon, Mis3 Luttrell,
but I believe I have found some lost
property of yours. Did you not drop
a handkerchief In the dining room last
evening?"
It was a trifling question, certainly,
still it sent the color flaming Into the
girl's cheeks.
"A handkerchief?" she repeated.
"No; I am sure I did not"—with a de-
cided shake of her head.
"Are you quite sure, though, because
I feel certain it is yours—at least it
has your Initials on it?" he returned,
producing the article in question and
holding up the corner where the crest
of the Luttrells was embroidered over
the initials "E. C. L." "This Is It. Is
It not yours?"
Evelyn looked at It astonished. It
was Impossible to deny the ownership.
"Oil, yes—H—It Is mine!"
The admission was made with such
' reluct* nee that Major Brown was con-
sclou of a feeling that in delivering
up the handkerchief to its rightful
owner he was rather under an obliga-
tion to her for deigning to accept It
than that she owed anything to him.
He was therefore quite astonished at
the polite but distant "thank you"
which rewarded his efforts, and stood
for ome minutes lost in contempla-
tion of the slight graceful figure as it
retreated down a long corridor.
"It is no go, I am afraid, this time,"
he muttered half aloud. "Sambo'a
mistress has scented mlsehlef already."
Yes, undoubtedly his scheme had
Ancient tVeddlng Houses.
In olien times certain towns and vil-
lages in England used to possess a
wedding house, where poor couples, af-
ter they had been wedded at church,
could entertain their friends at small
cost, the only outlay being the pur-
chase of such provisions for their
guests as they brought with them, the
house for the day being given free of
payment. At Braughing (or Brach-
ingea), in Hertfordshire, there wa3 a
wedding house of this kind, which had
a large kitchen with a cauldron, large
spita and dripping pan; a large room
for merriment, and a lodging-room,
with good linen. At Great Yeldham, In
Essex, there was another such house,
which was used by the poorer folk for
dining in after they returned from the
church. As the practice became obso-
lete the wedding house was turned into
a school. In 1456 Roger Thornton
granted to the mayor and community
of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, the use of the
hall and kitchen belonging to Thorn-
ton's hospital, for the use of young
couples, when they were married to
make their wedding dinner In, and re-
ceive the offerings and gifts of their
friends.
Why Purple llrcamo the Imperial Color
Purple became the imperial color be-
cause ot its enormous cost and rarity.
The only purple known to the ancients
was tho Tyrlan purple, which was ob-
tained In minute quantities ord;- fium
a Mediterannean species of shell fish,
called the murex. In the time of Cice-
ro, wool, double dyed with this color,
was so excessively dear that a slnglo
pound weight cost a thousand denarii,
or about thirty-five pounds sterling. A
single murex only yielded a little drop
of the Becretlon, consequently very
large numbers had to be taken in order
to obtain enough to dye even a very
small amount of wool. Amongst mere
than one of the nations of antiquity it
was death for any person but the
ereign or supreme judges to wear gar-
ments dyed with Tyrlan purple. Upon
tho accession of Julius Caesar a law
was passed forbidding any private per
son to wear it

Late fall chickens should be pushed
forward by every means in the reach
of the poultry grower. Both meat and
ground bone should be fed in consid-
erable quantities, so that the birds
will have got a good growth and good
supply of feathers before the end of
November. Probably the best single
food to help attain this result is ground
beef meal. It is rather expensive, buT
goes a good ways. If reserved for the
use of the late chicks ten pounds
would last them till well along into
the winter,

Farmers that feed large quantities
of wheat screenings to poultry should
be careful that the screenings do not
contain too large a proportion of seeds
of the corn cockle. These seeds are
poisonous, but are so only when eaten
in some quantities. They will kill any
kind ot farm stock, but are seldom
eaten by any farm stock in quantitlea
to kill except by poultry. There is
little doubt that many a farmer has
lost fowls by mysterious diseases, as
he supposed, that have really been
killed by the innocent-looking corn
cockle seeds fed In his screenings.

Every kind of business tends to seek
a level of profits, it Is therefore un-
reasonable to invest $500 in the poul-
try business and expect it to return
an annual income of |1!U0 or $300. A
man should expect a profit only ot 6
per cent after deducting from the
total receipts enough to cover all ex-
penses, with an additional amount ap-
plied for deterioration of buildings
and for repairs. The man that credits
himBelf up for all work done and then
has a net profit of 6 per cent on his
Investment is doing as well as he can
reasonably expect to do. Some people
get discouraged in raising poultry be-
cause they are not able to realize the
fancy profits they had figured out be-
fore starting In the business.

Exports of horses to Germany con-
tinue to attract attention both at home
and abroad. Regarding American
horses in Germany, the Hamburger
Nachtrichtcn, in a recent article, says.
"Importations from America have
caused the horse-raisers of Holstein to
suffer much of late. A stock company
has just been formed in Berlin for tho
express purpose of importing horses
from the United States. The Ameri-
cans have succeeded in breeding a
hors« which compares very favorably
in every way with the Holstein animal,
especially in those points so highly
prized in a Work horse, namely, broad
hips and large build generally. The
best markets for Holstein horses have
always been the provinces of Saxony,
Thuringia and Brunswick. The de-
mand is created by the large sugar
factories. This market has been de-
creasing of late, owing to American
horses being purchased in Berlin. A
few days ago this Berllu company
shipped a drove of eighty through
Hamburg en route for Milan, Italy,
where they are to be used on tho tram-
ways. Almost every week a long
freight Xrain filled with American
horses leaves the Berliner Bahnhof for
various parts of Germany. In spite of
expensive freight and a tariff of $7 per
head, the Americans have built up a
very respectable competition in the
German market."
Too much hard work for the hen la
not desirable. It is possible for the
hen, even In the fall months, to make
a living on the farm without being fed,
but she will have to be continually on
the scratch to do It. She will roam
over a vast area of land and gather in
all the stray bugs and weed seeds and
lost grain. But iu doing this she will
expend more muscle and heat than la
Besirable. The hen can have too much
pxerclse ns well as can the dairy cow.
It must be remembered that in devel-
oping the hen we are not trying to
The He.t Cure tor I!l .ii.e«.
There is one simple remedy that
seldom fails when a number of hens
become droopy, refuse to lay, and
shown sign? of bowel disease. In
ninety-nine cases among one hundred
the difficulties encountered are due to
indigestion, which arises from over-
feeding. By withholding all food for
three or four days a cure will nearly
always result without the aid of medi-
cines, says Poultry Keeper. When
hens are fat it is difficult to injure
them by three or four days' fasting,
as they are then well provided with
the stored fat on their bodies. Before
they can starve they must first become
poor In flesh. The fasting, however,
enables the hens to becone clear ot
the cause of the ailment, rests the di-
gestive organs, and enables them to
better digest any food that may then
be allowed. When three or four days
expire In fasting thein, then ,'ive only
one meal per day for a week, allowing
lean meat, one pound to twenty hens,
and the change of diet will also prove
ot advantage. Hundreds ot remedies
have been suggested for ailments of
poultry, which require time and labor;
but the best and most harmless remedy
Is to follow the method nuggested
above, and the result will seldom be
disappointing.

Newspaper bulletin No. 79, Indiana
Experiment Station: Upon the an-
nouncement of the United States de-
partment of agriculture that it had
achieved success In the treatment and
prevention of hog cholera by the new
serum, it was predicted by the vet-
erinarian of the Indiana station that
commercial firms would soon produce
a "serum" and claim it to have all tho
merits of that produced by the govern-
ment. Neither experimental work or
experience is necessary for cholera-
cure firms to claim success. Recently
we have been informed that such firms
are operating in Indiana, and as a
result cholera is following in their
path and tho disease being introduced
into herds when it had not previously
been In the neighborhood. The In-
diana station desires to learn of the
success or failure of the hog cholera
serum treatment in every locality in
which it has been tried, and also of
all outbreaks of disease which may
have followed serum treatment, and
we solicit correspondence upon the
subject.
Reports have also been received that
agents of cholera medicines in White,
Warren, Pulaski and Fulton counties
claim authority to sell goods recom-
mended by the station, and agents in
Marshall and Kosciusko counties claim
to be agents of the state board of
agriculture. All agents making such
claims In any part of the state are
frauds and Bhould be prosecuted.—A.

1 Minnesota Creameries.—An encour-
aging sign is that nearly all the cream-
eries are being operated by individuals
or companies of not more than two or
three persons. A lew years ago it waB
next to impossible to got a man to
put money alone into a creamery, and
on that account most of the creameries
in Minnesota were established by mu-
tual stock companies of farmers, a
dozen and more In a certain district

money each and sharing the profits.

the supply of poultry Mr 1899 will be

there will he good prices after winter

age, hut this supply will also be corre-
spondingly short. Next spring tho
prices for the early broilers will no
doubt be higher than for many years
previously, and the Incubator will pay
