MIR. McNulty left Ireland IN 1861 not
through any choice of his, but because
he loved his country with fervency
that brought upon him the hand of the
English government. In 1888 he came
to Minneapolis and since 1885 has been
member of the police force. He has
been chairman of the street railway
employees association for some time,
and his good counsel has assisted the
organization very materially in troubles
that have arisen between employer and
employee. Mrs. McNulty, nee Buckley
formerly of McGregor, Iowa, has re-
sided in Minneapolis for the past six
years. Previous to her marriage she
was engaged in the millinery bushes
and has always been known as most
estimable lady. The IRISH STANDARD

GRANULAR BUTTER.
A Process Of Butter Making Which II Far

Process Of Butter Making Which IL Far
Superior to the Old Way.
There is evidently a want of knowl-
edge about keeping butter for winter
market. There has been great inn
proycment in making butter in the last
few years. and with this Improvement
has come great change in the tastes
and wants of butter consumers in the
large cities. Formerly the well-made
and well-kept June butter commanded
the highest price. but now the sooner
butter is marketed The more valuable
it is. Within ten days. the expert tells
us, the original flavor begins to vanish.
aud with this comes u rancid taste;
though still sweet it will not bring the
price that it would have commanded
when first made. Many labor under
the dclusion that butter made by the
new process will not keep. The So
called NEW way consists in churning
the butter until granulatcd. and then
taking out the buttermilk before
it is Incorporated with the butter.
instead of churning the whole into
solid mass as by the old pro-
cess. The buttermilk is run out by
removing the cork from the churn.
BY this process the salt is evenly dis
tributed through the mass with much
less labor and more perfectly than can
be done by the old way and the butter
can be packed a. once. The new pro-
cess saves half the labor. and the pro-
duct is much better for present use or
for keeping. But however well mado
by any process or how carefully kept,

volving churns without inside ma

NEARER AND NEARER CAME THE STRANGER
minarets of the city cleaned family on the
high ground in the distance.
There is Ell Baba,' said Fairfax, pointing
to lofty tower, three or four miles to the
right.
Nebbitt scanned the shore with his tel
escope.
Not soul in sight, either on water or
land.''
The two men then continued their prone
made on the deck, Nebbitt occasionally
pausing to admire and pat two polished brass
cannon that stood in the bow.
"Ah, my Beauties" quoth he. .'the thun-
der Of your voices can not fail to terrify
those Italian thieves.
Soon the rattle of the anchor-chains was
heard and the yacht swung around, head on
to the Atlantic
A hasty survey Of the horizon revealing
no vessel. the boats were at once lowered
and the two cannon placed, one in each.
Away they sped to the shore, Nebbitt, Ok
ford, the two Fairfaxes and Roger, the
valet. The water shone like FURNISHED
mirror and the '.yamovna" rode almost mo-
tionless upon the scarce-heaving sea.
Perhaps 200 yards back from the strand
stood Ell Bahia, on a gentle elevation. Behind
it, at possible distance Of more than 100
.yards. rose a mound, covered with q close
growth of bushes.
In an instant Nebbitt's eye told him there
to plant his cannon.
The five men then spent the afternoon
thoroughly inspecting the tower and its
surroundings within a radius Of half to
three-quarters of a mile, but found nothing
that might indicate recent visitors or hidden
treasure.
sThere il nothing to do but wait" said
Fairfax. If we attack them on board ship,
they will destroy the papers and we will be
no better of than we are now, as regards
the hiding place of the treasure. We must
wait behind those bushes until they have
discovered it to us. Then we can attack
them. They can't fail to be here soon"
Fairfax said Nebbitt, taking him
aside, "those tyamr-steamers generally carry
small crews. suppose seven or eight Of
them may come ashore, leaving the other
half-dozen to look after the vessel. Now,
with these cannon, we five men ought to
annihilate them, If need be. So / advise
you not increase the number of your con-
fidants. Your brother, Oxford and Roger
and myself are quite enough to let into the
secret Of this vast wealth.
Near night-fall faint line Of smoke was
seen curling upward some fifteen or sixteen
miles TO the northwest Nebbitt, who had
returned to the yacht, said to the Captain
"Suppose you steam out about SIX knots
an hour, and meet that craft. If she is the
Vampa, signal to me by passing her, with
out altering your course; and don't return
till morning. II it is not the Vampa, come
back at once
on steamed the ..Namovna," the five men
observing her from their hiding place.
Nearer and nearer came the stranger.
Finally, the two vessels met and passed
close to each other, perhaps four and a half
miles from the shore. With batcd breath
and straining eyes, the little party watched
the 'Namovna." She pursued an onward
course, veering neither to port nor star
board
Its the Vampa.' cried they together.

CHAPTER xxxII.

i THE RUINED TOWER, Ell BABA."
Night had long since fed and the broad,
bright sun was now shining with all the
glorious effulgence Of morning.
Fairfax recognized the shore as that Of
remote. deserted island, Of which there are
many OF the coast Of Maine.
His pains grew more and more intense
Suffering the most exquisite torture, he
Strengthened out and set the bent arm,
while the bones cracked and grated and
gritted one against the other Constructing
rough splint, he bound it about the arm
with strips Of clothing.
Besides the torture from his wounds, the
ipangs Of hunger now began to trouble him.
His boat was gone adrift! How should he
regain it! Desert! No man could swim
long in those chilly Maine waters and live
much less one in Fairfax's condition.
As Heaven would have it, the wind
changed and he saw the boat about quar-
ter of mile southeast of the island, drift
ing back; but, evidently, SO that it would
pass by, and not touch the shore.
When the opportune moVent ar
rived, in he jumped and swan slowly and
heavily out towards it, making but poor
progress, indeed, with his broken arm and
tired muscles. Worn and utterly exhausted.
as he was, it was most foolhardy attempt
and nothing but his tremendous VIII kept
him up Little by little the distance was les
scned. but so was his strength, for he was
barely able to pull himself up over the stern
into which he fell headlong GREATNESS and
chilled through and through to the very
marrow, stiff and benumbed with the cold,
his head aching a. if it would burst.
But no man, buoyed up by the mighty
hope that inspired Fairfax, had time or place
to nurse his ailments or for falling ill., He
quickly recovered himself, and being shut
off from the use Of both oars, cut a sculling-
notch in the stern and so propelled himself
toward Mt. Desert.
Three kilograms left Bar Harbor the same
afternoon. The first was addressed to Fair
fax's brother, Dana, a bright young clerk in
New York shipping house. 1t read thus:
