He rose again, and this time the

the lights were extinguished, patter-

stood alone In the darkness.

Then there was a silence between US
for many minutes, and peered eager

was too profound, only the OCCASION
q rafting Of his chains. the shifting
from foot to foot and the hard breath
ing coming to tell me that was not

bitter regret were mine, and I knew
enough of Jim fully to appreciate his
state OF mind. We had played and lost,
and /. now more fatalistic than ever,
failed utterly to believe that we could
have done other. 1t was easy now to
see the madness Of trusting SO implic-
lily to the carpenter, yet not to trust
would have rendered all our efforts
futile. Who would have believed the
man was leagued with the society?
BY my fathers direction we had sought
out Koon-Si. and his welcome was
such as to raise in us hopes Of success.
He had realized all we were led to ex-
pect, even to his physical mutilation,
and, though we might have been more
circumspect, I failed to see how the
end could have been altered.
Presently Jim's voice reached me out
OF the gloom.

THE POULTRY YARD.

Geese should not be picked after cold
weather sets in.
Hens that are expected to lay regular.
~ during the winter must have extra
care.
The objection to a hard board foe l
Is that it often causes lameness, crook
ed toes, etc.
Hens two or three years old will net
lay so many eggs as will pullets in the
first twelve months after they first be-
gin to lay.
Live poultry cannot be shipped any
great distance without loss either IL
summer or winter. 1t is best to SEND
all poultry to market dressed.
A turkey in good condition can be
made very fat in ten days by liberal
feeding. 1t will do better in a small!
yard rather than in close pen.
One reason why it is wasteful to keeE
food before the hens all the time Is
that as long as they have a plentiful
supply before them they will not hunt
elsewhere.
