CHAPTER TX.

What happened in Elith's room that
night / did not learn until the next
morning, but | will give her account IN
this place in order TO preserve the Sc
GuenCe OF events.
True To her resolve, she hal left the
window open and the b. IL down, ex-
actly as on the preceding III shts. 1t was
her habit to lock the door, and that she
did not omit to do SO on this occasion she
was convinced by the fact thatshe found
some difficulty IN turning the key, and
ha aftorward trlel the handle to know
if the bolt was shot. She left the lamp
burning on the table, screened from her
bv the lace curtains of the bed. 1t was
half past eleven when she lay down, and
She felt so little fear that she fell asleep
almost Immediately.
4 pillow slipping from beneath her
head awokc her, she believed. Her first
consciousness was that her head felt IN
comfortably low. She put her hand out
TO find if she hal slipped to the edge Of
the bed; bu. no, her position was UNI
changed.
Then it struck her that she had left a
light IN the table; it was now out, and
all was dark.
She wondered if this was n trick OF
imagination. Wa she awake or asleep:
She touched her eyes to be SUI they were
open. Then it occurred to her that she
might have been asleep n long while.
There was nothing extraordinary in a
lamp going out. or her head slipping from
felt for the pillow.
TO her establishment she found that
both were zone.
IL was drOll. She felt inclined to laugh
thinking how she must have tossed about
in her sleep to knock both pillows out
But the bedciothes were perfectly smooth,
the lcd on each side of her even, and
soft. and yielding. That was strange.
II must have done all the tossing with
my head" she said to herself, still tickled
bv the oddity of the thing.
One thing was certain-she could not
sleep in comfort with nothing but n bot
ster under her head.
She leaned out and felt upon the floor
ms far as she could reach 10 the right.
J The pillows had not sli ppcd ont on that
side. Then putting her shoulder agains;
tine wall she felt down on the lcf.. There
was nothing there. What dill it al
mean? Decidedly this must be a ncw
freak of her Imagination.
She wasnot Yet thoroughly frightened.
The spirit VINO could steal her pillows
must have some sense Of hImog; II WIS
preferable to drumming On the win:ow-
panes and glaring through the blinds a'
her. Hearing and sight had been tried,
and now her sense &C tcucL va f. lie
tested.
Bat though she tried to mako light Of
tho affair, she felt that s0%nething terri
bic undcrlav its comic aspect, and y lit
tie shiver ran through her ut thethouSn;
of getting up and striking n light. Ii
MAS 40 much easier to be il
the daylight thar in such darkness rs
this.
After all. perhaps the pillows had Slid
out OF the be in "a natural way, and lay
! only just a little beyond her reach. Bat
rather than stretch her arm ono again in
the dark space, she preferred 10 put vi
with the bolster doubled.

She doubled tine bolster and gave il y
! little pat: then she put up Il lock of hair

mo- TO be stupid about a little thing like
that; and. wondering whether she should
dare to tell of this incident i'm the morn
ing, she dropped on her elbow, and laid
down her he~ad-down, down, down till
it touched the bed.
"What was this?' she asked herself.
starting up III a fright. She felt from
side TO side; now the bolster was gone;
there WAS nothing there but the bed.
But this pantomime trick was no long
or comic. She felt the tears Of fright
springing in her eyes. and something ris-
ing in her throat. Cold fear chilled her
TO the bone.
Was she in reality awake? The strik-
ing of the clock in the belfry assured her
of that.
Ding-dong, ding-dong, 6ii.a dong, ding
dong it lightly chimed; and the hour was
tolled out slowly. so~norously, solemn:
Boom. boom. boom, boom.
But If this was not h~allucination, what
was it? The work of actual hands?
what then? If they had no more direful
intention than to play a trick of this
KIND. they were not TO b. feared. 1t was
not terrific; ii YVES merely childish mis-
chlet, and this reflection suggested that,
after all, il might only be Lola who was
trying to brighten her. And just for one
moment, rs She leaned back on her ell
bow. she fanclcd she saw something like
those luminous eyes in the midst of the
darkness, and close to hcr-tnere! there,
above her, toward the side Of the bed.
as it YOU, LOla:' she asked, but in a
voice SO faint. for she was sick with
fright, that she herself could hardly hear
the words Sine spoke.
1t was a fancy, or the eyes were turn
ed away. Yet, still leaning upon her ell
bow that quiyered under her. she strain
ed her eyes to penetrate the darkness.
Not long, perhaps, though it seemed
SO, her heart beating painfully, her mouth
parched and dry. the hoe breath catching
the back of her throat.
Something seemed To be touching her
hair. Was il the lace curtain?
She raised her trembling hand, and
felt something level with the top of her
head. But il was not the curtain. 1t
UdS the pdVOT. Or she res mad!
Her strength gave way, and she fell
back upon th6bel; but the terrible sus-
picion that the pillows had been with
drawn for the purpose Of smothcr!ng her
made her throw her hand up.
II pillow had descended. it was close
II her face. She tried TO scream, but
the pillow was already upon her mouth,
and smotherei the cry.
IL closed down upoa her hood. firm
and hard. She could no longer breathe.
1t pressed upon her throat, us she lay
with the back Of her mead pushed down
into the bel.
The touch Of Death arousedt the instinct
OF self prcservation within her, and, with
returned. cried with all her force for
help.

The origin of the polled breeds Of cattle
Is not definitely known. According to
the Aberdeen Angus Herd Book, however,
there appears to be evidence that the
breed of the present day is a liueal de
scendant from the ancient pollcd cattle of
the northwest of Scotland, known at the
beginning of the present century in their
respective districts as the Angus bodies
and the Buchan Humlies. The first ac-
count of the importation of "a breeding
herd of Aberdeen Angus cattle according
to Prairie Farmer is that of Professor
Brown of the Ontario, Canada, experiment
farm, made IN 1876 and consisting of two
cows and bull These polled cattle are,
at the present date, prominently known
IN the provinces of Ontario and Quebec,
in Missouri, Nebraska and Illinois I'm
portatons have also been made in Maine,
Ohio, New Jersey and Massachusetts.
Experiment with these cattle seems to
have proved that they are well adapted TO
various climates; that they are hardy and
deep mixers. The fact of their being
polled is accepted by many as great
point in their favor

Results gained from prizes offered by
The London Dairy for the best preserved
eggs seem to show that the lime water
system is, all things considered, tho best.
A pound of lime should be stirred with IA
gallon of water, and the eggs, perfectly
fresh immersed thei lin in barrels or jars.
This excludes air and any germs that
might cause mildew or mold, and pre-
vents evaporation, so that tho contents
of the egg are not reduced IN bulk. II is
important to have considerable excess
