6onoma. With the exception Of his too
frequent absence and calls for money,
Ill went we'll with him after he entered
Into partnership with Mario Delaro.
Indeed 1t seemed as though Velas-
quez had at last settled down to civil,
reasonable kind OF life, and towards the
beginning of 1875 Mario had so restored
his confidence in his Portuguese partner
that he sometimes listened to his prop
ositions Of joint Investment In mining
stocks, at which for time they both
made money, SO much so that the deals
continued to increase in amount until
one day Velasquez induced Delaro to in
vest twenty thousand dollars with him
In q mine which he had privately heard
was going to be doomed for all IL was
worth.
The speculation turned out to be o
success, and, elated at his lucky hit,
velasquez became greedy for more.
He invested in other mines and lost
heavily; then he gave his notes for:
large sums, and day or two before set,
tling time with Delaro for the success-
full deal he found himself nearly Afty
thousand dollars in debt with no i'm.
mediate prospect Of being able to meet
his obligations
He had realized on his own share OF
the deal in which Delaro was interested,
but Delaro had not yet cashed his GER
tihcates.
: Velasquez was in bad mood, and
ready to meet any emergency with
fraud or violence when he started back
to San Paola to meet Delaro. He reached
Delaro's house, whore he had always
been guest about seven o'clock on the
evening Immediately preceding the
morning on which Delaro had been
found dead.
After dinner he and Delaro repaired
to the library, and commenced to dis
cuss matters OF business.
Velasquez, as we know, was In no
very pleasant state Of mind, and Delaro
was In an equally bad mood, owing to
the fact that quantity Of wine had
been spoiled at the cellars that day, the
result of neglect on the part Of one of
the workmen.
The conversation was quiet enough
at first and Delaro calmly signed the
transfer Of the mining stock so that
Velasquez might complete the negotia-
tions on his return TO San Francisco.
Aftey this Velasquez told Delaro that
he had been specuiating further and
had lost considerable money; and that
In order TO square himself, he must
borrow at least twenty thousand dol.

noted that he was o person OF especial
Importance in the community. He was
tall but rather thin and had very per,
ceptible stoop, although being on horse
back II was not easily noticed. His
eyes were Jet black and were covered
by heavy. bushy eyebrows; his beard
was carefully trimmed and his dress
rather too perfect for the locality.
While the expression on his faco was
not repulsive. II was Of Kind whioN
would cause man to exercise extreme
care and caution in dealing with him.
A glance at his features was enough
to make clear the fact that he was not
American born, although his dress and
manners would not have indicated
otherwise.
As the party with the wagon drew
near TO him he stopped his horse and
inquired: what is the meaning OF this

there any marks Of siolences" 'Indeed
there are" said the ofiicer, there Is no
doubt but that he has been foully mur-
dered."
"But, my God" exclaimed velas-
quez, ''can II be possible that gentle-
man who bore the good will OF every
body, as Mario Delaro did, can have
been slain in cold blood?" "Such is
the case" calmly replied the officer.

he was answered. Meanwhile, Mr..
Velasquez, will you kindly undertake

ply, "for she went yesterday morning

A Curious Honey Package.

A Michigan correspondent in American
Bee Journal describes novel package
containing honey, which may be sold at
fairs and elsewhere at from five to ten
cents each. He says: ''It will be seen
that needle is large enough to make q
hole at the small end of the egg shell, and
the hole In the other end will need to be
as large as small pea. By running the
needle in only FAR enough to break the
inside skin Of the egg the contents can be
blown out with the pressure Of ones
breath. When the shells are empty I ELL
them by means Of glass syringe, and
have to be careful not to get any honey
ON the edge Of the shell, or it would pro
vent the mixture Of rosin and beeswax
from sticking. The heat of the warm
preparation needs to be counteracted in
some way, as it causes q little expansion,
which would force the honey out through
the hot wax" u.

a Plea for Gross Bred Poultry.
A New Jersey poulterer makes plea
n American Agriculturist for market
poultry obtained by, proper crossing.
He says: For market the desired points
arc On increased production Of eggs and
improvement for the table. These are
the legitimate grounds which justify
cross breeding. In crosses we combine
quality with size, a., for example, Hou-
dan on Cochin or Brahma, or Cochin on
fDorking. The latter cross Is after the
English fashion. They take 3 good
2-year-old Cochin cock and mate with
nix good Dorking hens Of . year old.
The pullets Of the cross are next season
mated with game, and their produce is
then marketed. Thus they gain size
from the Cochin, and quality from the
Dorhng. By the game cross very little
81 size is sacrificed, while smother first
rate cross, Ia. point Of quality, 10 added.
An Englishman, rsfsrring 70 this cross,
once said: .The flesh i white g. snow,
and @ sayory as any aldermanic gour-
mand could DESIRE" Il must be under
stood. however, that nothing is gained
BY mating the progeny. Gross bred
birds should never be mated together.
When we make the cross we have the
ideal of our experiment; beyond that
there = . downward tendency. We do
not beliove any great success can 10 OBJ

duction. That d, no cross can be -

UH1cKEN ooop AND RUN.

CHICKEN COOP And RUN.
run may be cheaply made a. follows:
Take two twelve inch boards, six feet
long, and one twelve inch board the
length and width Of coop, and nail to
ends Of longer planks; then three six
inch boards, cut In same lengths, and
nailed together same as the twelve inch
ones. Fasten the marrow board frame
on top Of the twelve inch board frame by
mailing three inch strips upright at or near
the corners and open end, leaving space
Of three inches between the twelve inch
and six inch frames. Then stretch wire
netting across the top Of frame and the
run is complete. ..a ~ss.s Ii. r.
The run is not fastened TO the coop by
nails or otherwise, but is made to slide
up and fit to front Of coop, and may be
removed In q seconds time to clean out
the coop. Let the bottom boards set on
the ground so that the young chicks can
not get out of the run nor the other
chicks get into 1t. Twenty or thirty OF
these coops and runs can be placed on q
small space Of ground, and the chicks
get nothing to eat or drink that is not
good for them; one brood does not get
mixed with others, thereby causing quar-
reling and fighting among the mother
hens and death Of many chicks. A large
number Of broods can be handled with
half the time and trouble, and in case OF
sudden rain and storms the entire lot
are where they can step into the coop
and keep dry and warm. Besides, the
hens, when thus confined, are not con-
tinually on. the 60 hunting food for their
chicks, thus fatiguing and firing out the
little fellows and causing them to get
chilled because not frequently hovered.
Half the young chicks die from conges-
ton caused from becoming chilled. The
Texas correspondent who originally de-
scribed the foregoing In Southern Fam
cier makes his coops about two and one
half feet square and shaped as shown in
the illustration. This gives ample room
and renders the coops light enough to
conveniently handle.
