Mrs. Melville Graham smiled again

ment dld not specify at which enter
talnment she was to meet her recalci-

Ihe dinner, of course, came first on
the list. 1t was given by Lord and
Lady Clayburn, new acquaintanoes of
the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., and Cecilia ar
rived at their house in state of ner-
vous excitement that it took all her
strength to control The presentiment
was growing stronger every minute.
The Melville-Grahams We're the last
to arrive, and Cecilia looked anXiously
at the large party assembled in the
looked was not among them. 1t was a
great relief to her Oyerstrung nerves
when the solemn butler announced din
ner, anC they all filed into the dining
room.
Cecilia's cavalier was elderly, and his
conversational powers We're somewhat
limited. He sounded his companion on
one or two subjects, with very little
result, and then took refuge in silence
and the elaborate menu.
Left to her own devices, Cecilia be-
gan taking stock of the guests assem-
bled at table. She was getting quite
amused and interested in this occupa-
ton, when all at once startling sound
fell on her ears-a sound that thrilled
her like an electric shock, and made
her heart beat wildly.
It was Auriel de Vislnes' confidential
murmur. There Was no mistaking it.
She would have known it anywhere.
De Vismes must be in the room, that
at the table, and yet she could hear that
never-forgotten murmur so plainly. 1t
was coming nearer, too. What did it
mean? What could it mean? Nearer
and nearer. Now it was at her elbow.
"Turbot, ma'am?"
With a start Of horror, Cecilia turned
her head. There by her side stood a
gigantic footman, gorgeous, powdered
hunkey, resplendent in the Clayburn
full-dress livery of crimson and gold
with plush knee breeches and white
silk stockings. He held plate in his
hand, and his voice dropped to it's most
insinuating key as he began to repeat
his question.

chicks may be built for very little
money. One side of the coop is formed
by the side of a building or a fence,
and at the lower end comes within
two inches of the ground. The roof Of
rough boards is covered with tarred or
waterproof paper. An opening is cut
in one side next to the fence or wall.

corner is placed dust bath. The roosts

ant than anything else in the handling
of the dairy. Much complaint is being
made by dairymen that some Of
their cows are not profitable, and
while, in many cases, the trouble
is due entirely to some poor in
dividuals in the herd which may be
discovered by weighing the milk of
each COW and keeping a record nf it.
there is no doubt but that poor feeding
is at the bottom of the trouble in many
cases. 1t is frequently found that an
animal which is a loss in the hands Of
Brown is profitable when Jones gets
hold of the COW. In such cases it is
evident that the method of feeding or
the food itself was wrong in the first
case. Dairymen who are complaining
of their COWS and thinking of bringing
about Improvement by changing the
breed will do well to study the ques-
ton of feed and see if they are not
making some mistakes in that direc-
ton.
