CHAPTER TX.

The momentary happiness which
his unexpected impression upon
Frances brought to Holbin soon gave
place to jealous rage. 1t was impos-
sible for him to rest satisfied. He
told himself that the war was on;
that he had been wonderfully success
full in his contact with the secret foe,
and that victory was still possible.
He went forth blindly into the city,
seeking information of an unknown
wounded man, but, of course, no ex-

reason that no one knew of such .
man. At dark he sought the police
man whose beat was nearest the
Brookin residence.
Pistol shot? Oh, yes; he had heard
pistol shots every night since the war
fever came on; the town was full
of excitement. And the officer re-
membered also that recently car
riage had been twice driven furiously
upon his street near daylight-the in
cident had impressed him because the
hour was that in which the city was
usually quietest. He had been un-

der the impression that the carriage
belonged to DR.. Brodnar, and he had
satisfied himself with the reflection
that some sudden illness had made
the speed necessary. "Why," he
asked. sis there anything wrong
afoot?" Raymond assured him tina,
there was not and passed on, leaving
the officer convinced to the contrary.
All the facts Hoibin had gathered now
confirmed Louise, but he had reached
the limit of his powers except in one
direction. NANNY" was the last wit
ness, and he hesitated long because
,, of her relation to Frances. Finally, in
desperation he privately summoned
her to his room. The woman stood
looking curiously at him as he
charged back and forth across the
floor until he paused and confronted
her.
"You are called nanny, believe"
he said, sternly.
Eyes, sah!" Nanny was startled
and amazed.
You are, of course, aware that you
now belong to my mother, and that
| have charge of all her property"

at him anxiously.
THAT makes no difference, woman.
We recognize no will in this house

want you to answer my questions now
| and conceal nothing, or 1T will be an
unfortunate day for you, old as you
are! Where were you night before
last? Nanny was astounded. No
one ever addressed her in such man
ner. She had long been a privileged
character. True, since the coming of
| the second Mrs. Brookin she had lost
much of her prestige, but she still
held sway over the servants; and in
the wing she reigned supreme.

for the three days preceding the date of
publication and it contains the very latest
news up to the hour Of going to press.

ments with the publishers whereby it is
enabled to make the most liberal and as
tonishing offer we ever made.

une we will send you the Farmers Trib-
une twice-a-week) with your ~paid-in-ad-

tuniry slip by. Send in your subscription

Mitchell Grass.

Mitchell grass is very highly regard,
ed as a hay and forage plant on the
interior plains of Australia. It is very
productive, and the strong root system
enables it to Withstand long periods
Of dry weather, so it is thought that it
should be of value in our southwestern
states. Seed from Australia tried Oh
the Potomac flats terminated readily,
and a fair stand was obtained. By the
middle Of July the strong, leafy plants
were II to Is inches high, and the first
heads were appearing. Two weeks
later found the height increased to 2
to 211a feet, and some Of the seed was
ripe. Production of seed continued
throughout the season, the last being
gathered Oct 20, at which time the
plants were about three feet high and
the foliage very abundant. Frosts in
early November killed the foliage.
Most Of the growth was made during
July and August, which were exceed
ingly dry and hot months.

CORN FOR THE SILO.
thicker on the ground than it should be
planted where the object is to produce
grain. Corn is distinctiVely a sun plant,
and if it is so thickly seeded that the
ing plant there is produced a product
which is lacking in digestibility and
which is not relished by farm stock.
A few years ago some experiments
were conducted by the Cornell expert
ment station, the object being to deter
mine what method Of planting corr
produced greatest food value. Certain
plats were drilled in thickly 50 that nc
ears would develop, other plats were
planted with the rows 40 inches apart
and with the plants close together in
the row, and other plats were planted
In hills from 8 to 3h feet apart. While
8 larger quantity Of produce was OBJ
tanned per acre where the corn was
drilled in thickly, yet it contained a
higher per cent of moisture and was de-
fcient in protein and in fat.
While the money value Of the broad
casted corn is not very different from
the value Of that grown on the other
plat, this estimate does not take into
account the digestibility Of the various
products.
The variety Of corn which shall be
planted must be determined somewhat
by local conditions. In central New
York the Pride of the North gives very
satisfactory results. Whatever variety
is selected it should be one which shall
approach maturity before frost. The
man who plants SO thickly that he cuts
It with the reaper is surely failing to
get best results, says Country Gentle,
man in conclusion to the foregoing ad-
vice.
