All the Mnid,. Eault.

A well-to-do young Philadelphia Of
somewhat sensitive disposition left
for Florida recently on his honeymoon.
He registered with his bride, who was
accompanied by her maid, at one Of
st. Augustine's palace hotels. The
young couple thought they would feel
much more at ease IL the fact that
they were but recently wed was kept
a secret, they agreeing that their
actions should in no way afford n cue
to curious and inquisitive people. 80
they earnestly admonished the maid
not to tell any one that they had Just
been married, warning her Of the con-
sequences IL the fact should become
known about the hotel.
Everything went along smoothly for
three days, and then the young couple
suddenly discovered to their dismay
that they were being closely scrutin-
lied by every guest in the house. In
the dining room scornful looks were
cast at them by the ladies'. and there
was no mistaking the fact that they
were the subject of considerable com.
ment, which they felt certain was un-
complimentary. They held q consul.
tatlon, and called the maid. She was
closely questioned as to whether she
had answered any queries concerning
them, and, after good deal of fenc.
ing, finally blurted out: "They kept
telling me that you were just married,
and I got mad and told them they
were liars, that you weren't married
at allv"-PhiladelDhi0 Record.

bureau he was saying to himself that,
having effaced the opprobrium which
yet rested on her fathers memory,
Emmeline would pardon him that he
had preserved his fathers life.
And then came another reflection;
Mrs. Chesterton had been already de-
nounced to Justice; and IL that woman
were arrested and she should confess
all hope to save his fathers life would
then be lost to Theodore.
Despairingly the poor young man

sloDpins Cows.

. There is q general belief that slop-
piny cows greatly increases their flow
Of milk, and that the resulting yield is
correspondfngly poorer in butter fats,
and to prove or disprove this the ex-
pertinent station at Guelph, Ont, has
for the past two years been expert
menting along this line, and to their
surprise there Is practically nothing
in the belief.
The cows. when fed the grain in
form Of slop, would. IL fed once a day,
give slightly more milk and slightly
lower, but not uniform, percentage Of
fat, about o. Of per cent; but in
every instance where slop was fed
twice a day there was decided fall
ing on III milk yield. These tests
were conducted In periods of thirty
days each 80 as to get the full effect
Of the feed, and In the general aver
ages the dry granted cows came out
ahead. ~
Az to the variation of fat content Of
the milk, the sum total of all the nv
erages showed TINT there was no more
loss In the fat content of cows fed dry
foods, and the sum total OF. two years
experiments is, against the idea that
slop food increases the milk yield. II
anything IL to be deducted from the
tests 1t 10 that cows gave less milk IL
the stopping was very marked, and
tho percentage of fat yielded was
actually inconsequential 80 far as
change was concerned in either case.
The conclusions are thnt the best
'slop" that can be fed to q COW is q
good ration Of corn, silage, roots or un-
cured grain folders, and the drink
that COW has Is best in the form of
good water, governed by the inclina-
ton OF the animal to drink.-Practical

HOW SHOPPING WOMEN LUNCH

The other day, '.and therefore 1t Is not

CHAPTER XXI.



Emmeline's positive and reiterated
assurance failed, as was very natural,
to convince Theodore that the person
she had just beheld in that room was
the man who had stolen into Barring
toms house to possess himself of the
important letter hidden there.
And Emmeline's advocate was angry
and indignant that she would continue
to persist in what lie termed her mad
assertions.
And to himself he said:
"Viscount Dareleigh, the possessor
OF an illustrious and long-enobled
name, miserable thief; how utterly
impossible!w
But that the supposition was an out
rageous insult, it woul be positively
ridiculous, lie told himself.
He entreated that Miss Lindsay
would not continue obstinate In the
belief she had expressed; counseled
her to reflect and to acknowledge that
She had been mistaken; that a fancied
resemblance had for the moment de-
ceived her.
But Emmeline was not to be moved
from her conviction.
And she asked of Theodore who and
what was that man whom SO suddenly
ana Unexpectedly and for the SECOND
time In her life, she had there and
but then beheld-what was his name?
II will not seem strange that, not
for one instant did her thoughts turn
toward Viscount Dareleigh; that The
cdore's father should have been the
robber and assassin, would have mp.
peared to her wildly impossible as did
Ut to Theodore himself,
To say that 1t was Viscount Dare
leigh whom but just before she had
beheld, would lie, as Theodore be-
lieved, to convince her. in a moment,
Of the error under which she now
was laborlng.
And yet the visc0unt's son hesitated;
he could not have told himself where
fore, to pronounce his fathers name.
And Emmeline was to receive, Mt
tkat time, no reply to her question;
for just as Theodore Ind decided to
inform the young lady that 1t was
Viscount Dareleigh whom she had SO
inconsiderately libelled, Noel Barring
