CHAPTER VII.

Edith Longworth went to her state
room and there had what women call a
good cry over her failure. Jennie
Brewster continued her writing, every
now and then pausing as she thought,
with regret, of some sharp thing she
might have said, which did not occur
to her at the time of the interview
kenyon spent his time in pacing up and
down the deck, hoping for the reap
pearance of Miss Longworth, an ex-

was the hope deferred which maketh

refusal. Old Mr.. Longworth dozed most
of his time in his steamer chair. Went
worth, who still bitterly accused him
self of having been fool, talked with
no one, not even his friend Kenyon.
All the time the great steamer kept
forging along through the reasonably
calm water just as if nothing had hap
pened Or was going to happen. There
had been one day of rain and one night
and part of a day of storm. Saturday
morning broke, and it was expected
that some time in the night Queenstown
would be reached. Early on Saturday
morning the clouds looked lowering, as
they have q right to look near Ireland.
Wentworth, the cause of all the worry,
gave Kenyon very little assistance in the
matter that troubled his mind. He was
in the habit, when the subject was re-
ferred to, of thrusting his hands into his
hair. or plunging them down into his
pockets, and breaking out into Ian
guage which was as deplorable as it was
expressive The more Kenyon advised
him to be calm, the less Wentworth fol-

lowed his advice. AS a general thing,
he spent most Of his time alone in very
gloomy state of mind. On one occasion
when the genial Fleming slapped him
on the shoulder, Wentworth, to his great
astonishment, turned fiercely round and
cried: -t $780, t...~.s.s.E 1sl 49,.
IF you do that again. sir. I'll knock
you down." a 49,
Fleming said afterwards that he was
Completely flabbergasted' by this,
whatever that may mean. and he added
that the English in general were aquee1
race.
1t is true that he gathered himself to-
gether at the time, and, having laughed
little over the remark, said to Went

have known the last sentence she ut

gone before.
Really, Miss Longworth, I had some
little admiration for you when you
biazed out at me in the way you did;
but now, when you coolly repeat your
offer of a bribe, adding one-third to it,
all my respect for you vanishes. You
may go and tell those who sent you
that nothing under Heayen can prevent

In saying this, however, Miss Brews-
ter somewhat exceeded her knowledge.

Edith calmly, putting her hand over the

do it,
For a moment the two girls stood
there, the one flushed and excited, the
other apparently calm, with her back
against the door and her hand over the
electric button. A glance through the
window showed Miss Brewster that the
mate had got into the boat, and that
they were steadily lowering away. n
LET me pass, you-you wretch!"
"All in good time," replied Edith
Longworth, whose gaze was also upon
the boat swinging in midair. Jenny
Brewster saw at once that if it came
to hand-to-hand encounter she would
have no chance whatever against the
English girl, who was in every way her
| physical superior. She had her en-
| velope in one hand and the gold in the
| other. She thrust both of them into
her pocket, which, after some fumbling,
| she, found. Then she raised her voice
in one Of the most appalling screams
Edith Longworth had ever heard. As
if in answer to thatear-piercingsc scream,
| there arose from the steamer q loud
and ringing cheer. Both glanced up
to see where the boat was, but it was
not in sight. Several ropes we're dang
ling down past the portfolios. Miss
Brewster sprang up on the sofa, an1
with. her small hands turned round
the screw which held the headlight
closed.
Edith Longworth looked at her with
out making any attempt to prevent the
unfastening of the window.
Jennie Brewster flung open the heavy
brass circle which held the thick green
J glass, and again she screamed at the top
of her voice, crying "Help!" and ''Mur-
der!"
The other did not move from her po-
sition. In the silence that followed
the steady splash of oars could be
heard, and again a rousing cheer rang
out from those who were left upon the
motionless steamer. Edith Longworth
raised herself on tiptoe and looked out
Of the open window. On the crest of
a wave, 500 yards away from the vessel,
she saw the boat for moment appear,
showing the white glitter of her six
dripping oars; then it vanished down
the other side of the wave into the
trough of the sea.
''Now, Miss Brewster, you are at lib
erty to go.'

CHAPTER x.

CHATTER y.
After Edith Longworth left her
Jennie Brewster INDUCED in a brief
spasm Of Mysteries. Her good sense,
however, speedily got her out of that,
and as she became more or less calm
she began to wonder why she had not
assaulted the girl who had dared to i'm
prison her. She dinly remembered
that she thought of fierce onslaught
at the time, and she also remembered
that the fear of the boat leaving during
the row had stayed her hand. But now
that the boat had left, she bitterly re-
GREETED her inaction. and grieved un-
availingly over the fact that she had
stopped to write the account of the dis
aster which befell the Caloric. Had she
not done so, all might have been we'll,
but her great ambition to be counted
the best newspaper woman in New
York, and to show the editor that she
was equal to any emergency that might
arise, had undone her. While it would
have been possible for her to send away
one telegram, her desire to write the
second had resulted in her sending none
ut all. Although she impugned her
own conduct in language that ono
would not have expected to have heard
from the lips Of a daughter of million
aire, her anger against Edith Long
worth became more intense, and
fierce desire to have revenge took pos
SESSION of the fair correspondent. She
resolved that she would go up on deck
and shame this woman before every
body. She would attract public atteH-
ton to the affair by tearing Edith
Longworth from her deck chair, and
III her present state of mind she had
no doubt she had the strength to do it.
With the yearning for revenge fierce
and strong upon her, the newspaper
woman put on her hat and departed for
the deck. Like an enraged tigress she
passed up one side and down the other,
but her would-be victim was not Wis
lille. The rage of Miss Brewster in
creased when she found her prey was
not where she expected. She had a
fear that when she calmed down her
own good sense would assert itself, and
her revenge would be lost. In going
to and fro along the deck she met Ken
'yon and Fleming walking together.
Fleming had just that moment come up
to Kenyon, who was moodily pacing
the deck alone, and, slapping him on
the shoulder, asked him to have a
drink. >. <-
1T seems tome" he said, "that I never
have had the pleasure of Offering you
a drink since we came on board the ship.
1 want to drink with everybody who is
here, and especially now, when some
thing has happened to make it worth
while''
II am very much obliged to you," said
John Kenyon, coldly, "but never drink
with anybody" ... .~
:. "What, never touch it at all? Not even
ale?" &
'Not even ale" .--
"Well, am astonished to hear that.
Thought I every Englishman drank ale"
"There is at least one Englishman
who does not.'' .,n
"All right, then, no harm done, ane
no offense given, I hope. may say,
however, that you miss lot cf fun in
this world"
II presume I miss few headaches,
also"

to the front in this connection. The
following, taken from an article in The
American Poultry Journal, gives an
idea of the extent of the business in
that city:
The new United States government
census will show Belgian hare breed
ing to be one of the great industries of
Chicago, one that will mean revenue
of hundreds of thousands of dollars,
with capacity and possibility almost
unlimited.
The pioneer in this comparatively
new industry in Chicago is the Ameri-
can Belgian Hare company, located at
269 South Sacramento avenue. This
company is incorporated. with S. J..
Chapman president and E. e. Gillen
vice president. Mr.. Chapman has been
a publisher in Chicago for 15 years.
Mr.. Gillen is q thorough business man
and has been extensively connected
with the Belgian hare business in Cali
fornia Mr. Chapman has also been in
California and has had practical expe-
rience with Belgian hares in that sec
ton of the country that seems to have
been captured by this absorbing and
profitable business.
In August, 1899, Mr. Gillen went to
England and personally selected %
head of stock Then in November,
1899. he went over and brought back
between 300 and 800. He is a judge Of
stock and, with unlimited means, Sc
cured the cream of England's prize
winners, among their valuable bucks
being the Great Lord Upton, Gold
Dust, Champion Golden Sovereign and
many others. This last lot is the lar
gest single Importation of thorough
bred Belgian hares ever made. These
men have accomplished in the forma-
ton Of the American Belgian Hare
company and the giving of their time,
attention and money what has perhaps
never been done before. They have
started ON a broad foundation of am
pie capital. knowledge of the business,
with only imported STOCK imported

The question confronting most tur-
key raisers at present Is How can 1
manage my turkeys so as to reduce the
death rate Of the young flock?'
Most people can raise turkeys to
three or six weeks. In this there really
has been change since we raised our
first turkeys. If in those days we
brought young turkeys to 6 weeks old,
we considered them safe at least until
the late fall, when we usually lost q
few and never could tell why they
died. Last year and the year before
the report was prevalent that after the
turkeys were weeks old they seemed
to grow thinner day by day and finally
died without any apparent cause. Many
of them were examined and no disease
revealed. This was mentioned several
times in The Reliable Poultry Journal,
and a correspondent of The Journal
wrote the following, for which he will
please accept our thanks even at this
late day:
Tell Mrs. Mackey that the trouble is
the poults are killed by the chiggers.
They do US more damage than any
thing else"
We presume this is the little grass
chigger which buries Itself In the flesh
at least it does on people and Is very
hard to exterminate and very painful
to endure. We had never thought Of
this. The only remedy known to us is
grease. and too much of that is fatal to
the poults. If the gentleman meant
mites, which often infest poultry build
ings, liquid lice killer and whitewash
will exterminate them. The houses or
coops must be whitewashed early in
the morning and well aired during the
day. 1t is dangerous to use the liquid
lice killer for the little ones, as they
might be smothered by the fumes

The recent distress on the southwest
ern ranges is the natural result of over
crowding and the destruction of
sources of water supply, says The Ma
tional Stockman. A drought of any
length brings about a water famine
which is even more distressing than a
scarcity Of forage. The forest reserves,
the natural sources of water, have been
destroyed, the pastures have been over
taxed and thinned out. And now cat
tie are being shipped out or lost be-
cause range privileges have been thus
abused. If official reports are to be
trusted. ranges, both northern and
southern. are not capable Of supporting
the amount of stock they did years ago
because Of continued close pasturing.
The system which makes It necessary
for every man to get all he can from
the range without regard to its future
usefulness is radically wrong and must
end In disaster to those who depend on
these nagturps
