CHAPTER III.

| By HEAVEN. I'LL FIND OUT
| The horse was all but walking Swinging
into an easy. but rapid, trot, he soon caught
! sight Of the vehicle again.
| Taken up with each other, the lovers
| failed to notice the man with set, determined
/ face and vigilant eye following in the roar;
close beside the woods that bordcred the
road where the shades were darkest, keep
| ing out of their sight, yet always keeping
| them in his.
Luck seemed to favor him. There was no
traveller i'll view on the road. But, uncx-
pectedly, an old peasant, bending beneath a
bundle of fagots, came out of the forest
and. as soon as the carriage had passed,
! turned around. with the usual rural curios-
/ ity, to look after it. So he did not observe
/ the figure that plunged into by-path
among the trees and. few moments later,
emerged at point some distance beyond.
Those servants" reasoned their pursuer,
''can't possibly get out of sight, while I'm
among the trees, because the road is per-
| fectly straight for some distance on, yet !;
and they're going slowly, too"
! What was his dismay, then, on emerging
from the wood, to see no carriage.
In astonishment. he glanced up and down
the road.
Nothing was in sight, except the old

fagots; and, far beyond the latter, in the
distance, shepherd, driving flock Of
sheep.
Whittier could they have disappeareds
They, certainly, had not gone on ahead.
On the other hand, he had been especially
careful to glance in the direction from
which they had come. 1t was, therefore,
equally certain that they could not have
turned back, unless-here there came over
him dim recollection of certain, half-cor-
cealed woodpaths, or lanes, leading into the
forest.
| 1t was some distance from his present
] position to even the nearest Of these lanes.
He was very much out of breath, and by
the time he reached the first, darkness
would be rapidly falling. Still, he pressed
on. AS he hurried past the flock Of sheep
the shepherd started after him, evidently
amazed at the sight of a gentleman running
along the public road
He soon came to a wood-p path on his left.
The sheep had nearly obliterated the wheel
tracks from the highway, but he was posi-
tive that he detected faint and apparently
fresh ruts running into this lane.
Onward he plodded, in a logged, deter
mined trot So dark was it among the
trees and so dense the growth of weeds and
grasses along the path thai it was quite i'm

THE object OF cooking of meals should be
to soften the connective tissues, and allow
the digestive fluids to act more directly
upon the nutrtive elements. In the case Of
most vegetables, the starch which COM
poses them, is, by cooking, gelatinized, and
s1hus rendered more digestible. Boiling,
roasting or broiling may be preferred as
means of cooking meats; and each, in its
way, If properly done, adds to the diges-
tibility. But frying has the opposite effect
BY this process, SO common in many fam
lilies, the meat is covered with greasy
layer, composed of the fat in which it has
been fried: and this resists the action Of tie
digestive fluids. This method Of cooking is
said to be especially an American institn.
ton, and to this may be attributed much Of
the dyspepsia Of our people.

A REMARKABLE OPERATION.
Performed on Citizen of New
York, Who Is Still Alive.

6pecias to the Indianapolis Journaa.
New YORK. March IA very rare and peril
Gus operation in surgery was performed in this
city few days ago. It was the last resort to
save the life of man suffering from nephrectic,
or kidney disease. The operation, which is of
German origin, and which has seldom been sue
cessfully performed in America, is known as
nephrectomy, which consists in the removal of
the affected organ.
It requires great surgical SKILL and even then
the success of the operation is not assured.
Only three ont of ten cases OF the kind in this
country have been permanently cured The
chief danger is from hemorrhaee during the
operation, or from peritonItis during the healing
process.
The patient in this case was Charles Ottman,
of Ottman Brothers, meat dealers at 81 Fulton
Market He is a married man, about forty
years DID, living at 222 East Fifteenth street.
He had been sick for some time and was treated
by DR.. H. p. Loomis. of So East Thirty-fourth
street, a son of Professor Loomis DIR. Loomis
decided that it was hopeless case. and that his
patient could not live more than month if the

lasted little over hour. The hemorrhage

with anodynes and antiseptc preparations, and
the incisions sewed up. Up to the present time

crisis has passed
Medical authorities speaking of nephrectomy
report that of forty-nine operations in

periods.
Six of the successful cases were not fully
cured until from two to FIVE years after the
operation.
These statistics" continue the writer, ''are
not favorable to the operation, although in 42
per cent. of the cases of adults there was no re-
turn of the disease. aud the probabilities are
that with earlier diagnosis and removal. the per-
centage Of immediate recoverirs would have
been larger and the number of patients rendered
permanently free from the disease would have
been considerably increased

Hall, the builder, who disappeared over two
years ago, turned up yesterday, having come
directly from the Rochester Insane Asylum,
where he has been confined. In August, 1885,
three weeks after his marriage, Mr.. Hall left
his home for the Boston Block. telling his wife
he was expecting to take a contract for the
erection of a row OF buildings. That was the
last seen of him until yesterday. A search for
the missing man was instituted and kept up for
months. hut without success. The matter Was
placed in the hands of the police but after some
time they up the hunt, not having been
able to run down q clew. Then private de tect-
ives were nut on the case. but they also we're
completely baff1ed. Hall cleared up the matter
In n strange story: He said that after leaving
the architects office he went out to the short
line bridge, at the western limit St Paul. TO
look at the location of the houses he TO
build. and before returning sat down to rest
just then a St. Paul policeman, IN search Of

over his treatment. and will bring action for

has announced that his phenomenal
gelding, Jay-Eye See, who held the
best record at trotting for twenty
four hours in 1891, wilt be trained
to try and lower, not only his own
record of 2:10, but that of Maud s. i,

ways driven the handsome flyer, will
undertake to have him in readiness
to make the trial at the meeting of
the Northwestern Trotting Horse
Breeders association, to be held in
Chicago about the middle of next
August. He is confident that Jay
Eye-See will be able to do all that is
asked of HIM. Mr.. Cases assertion
has met Mr.. Robert Bonner's atten-
ton and he is to have Maud S. pre-
pared to equal and probably surpass
any record that the Western geldlng
may make. 10 that end John MUIR
ply is to begin training the queen
of the turf about the 1st of March,
at the same time that Biiher begins

Ra' sing Our Own Calves.

Those WHO keep cows solely for
their milk, who simply supply their
creameries, have often grave doubts
as to whether 1t pays to raise their
own cows from the produce of their
own herds. The question has been
discussed at many meetings during
the past winter, but so far as could
be ascertained, without In any SUBJ
stantIal manner, determining it fur
ther than to show that some prac-
ticed it and succeeded, others did
not succeed, whilst In many cases
it was neither believed in, or prac-
tIced. With the man who has a
we'll bred dairy and the use of de-
slrable bull, there is little question
but it is more profitable 10 do so
than to buy, If he will only take the
trouble TO do it properly. On the
other hand, if those who have mis-
cellaneousiy bred herd, as they us
ually have who buy, the attempt
may often prove failure. The fol-
lowing is offered as one method by
wlch it may be economically and ef-
fectively done If desired.
A foreign lecturer on dairy topics,
in talking about the profit of raising
calves, says: Let me take the calf
as the first means of multiplying the
number of the herd. If it is fed
upon new milk, undou btedly it Will
lose money for time, although it is
not so certain that, even in that
case, it will not pay better in the
long run; but the plan 1 suggest is
to let the calf drink milk four or
five days, and then to change its di-
ct, until at the end of a fortnight it
is getting nothing but SKIM
med milk and an emulsion of linse ed
oil and water. This is prepared as
follows: Twice weekly, on food pre-
parlng days, the linseed for the COW
is put into an iron tank with so many
gallons of water, enough to main
tain it in q lIQuId state when cold.
1t is then steamed by means of a
steam jet until the seeds split and
mingle with the water, which it does
very easily. The solid portion of
the linseed sinks to the bottom, and
the liquid Is the emulsion from
which the calves food is taken, and
this the calves get with gradually
diminishing quantity OF skinned
milk urtil they feed well on hay and
haff and meal, when the milk is let
