Left alone, the two girls looked at
each other; and then Kitty DyneVoI

angrily, II know O lady when | see

Five minutes later they were walk
Ing back to Uplands together, and
Beryl was telling Kitty how long and
dreary she thought the way the first
night Of her arrival,
II don't wonder" returned Miss
Dynevor, "A drearler place to arrive

II was born at Uplands Harold, my
brother, was born at the Manor. There
had been something wrong with the
Uplands drains, and mother went to
the Manor for two months, The old
gossips used to declare 1t meant he
would Inherit the property, that the
master OF Dyneyor was always born
at the Manor, They were quite wrong
however, But / forgot-perhaps you
don't know our story?"
Mrs, Grey told 1t to me-" said
Beryl frankly. II think II is one Of
the saddest ever heard. wonder

Mother and Harold are too good
to really hate any one, / am afraid
when things 20 wrong at home, and
they look moro bothered than usual,
my feelings towards Mr. Llndon are
rather bitter"
"I suppose you don't remember his
wife?"
"oh, no; was not born when she
left England. OF course It was really
her fault the place passed away from
us; but have always felt sorry for
her"
81 wonder why?" remarked Beryl,
trying to keep the eagerness cat OF
her voice.
"A very little thing, There was a
woman in the village here Aunt Nina
took with her as maid, When they
got abroad ! think she was promoted
to be q kind OF humble companion. She
came back about twelve months be-
fore Aunt Nina died, and she lived
with us for q few years, She was not
given to talking; but now and again
she'd let out things. She was my
nurse, and / was just the age Of Beryl
Lindon, Aunt Nina's second child,
Somehow she'd say things now and
then which made me feel Mr. Lindon
ill-treated his wife. She never said
anything outright-never enough FOR
me to repeat 1t to mother; but though
l was only little thing-she left be-
fore l was ten years old-she said
enough to make me sure my aunt was
unhappy"
They were at Uplands now. Beryl
had no time to ask the nurses name,
or II she were still living at Easthlll,
Mrs, Dynevor stood on the veranda
waiting to welcome the stranger, and
the conversation was changed.

Egg-eaters among hens are unneces-

egg-eater is the same hen that lays
the soft-shelod egg. This Is proof
that both things arise from the same
source--a wrong condition in the
fowls feed or care,
An eastern paper reports hen that
has formed most excellent egg-laying
habit, She began to lay about the last
Of April. and up to the last of No

Kitty, she seems q charming girl, And,
my dear, IL Harold were not the best

IL shouldn't be half as brave and

Kitty frankly.
Arrived at the Uplands, mother and

eye fell on letter with the Marion

But the lawyer had gone out OF his
way to do Harold kindness, He
would not even trust one Of his clerks
to write the letter OF warning which
he sent to his old friends son. The
letter was marked "private''--a need
less precautlon, for Harold Dynevor
would be sure to keep Its contents from
his mother and Kitty until the last
possible moment.
Dear Dynevor: / have bad news
for you, It has reached me from a
true source that Eustace Lendon in
tends to give you three months notice
OF foreclosure at Micaelmas. My in
informant believes that he is keeping
his intention dark, so that It may take
you by surprise, In the hope that the
three months will be all too short for
you to get the needed capital, need
not assure you OF my most earnest
sympathy. Still, the amount, though
large, is not preposterous, and 1t ought
to be possible to arrange things. Any
how by this letter you have FIVE
months to raise the money instead Of
three,
Yours sincerely,
w, Proctor,
Harold Dynevor put his head on his
hands and fairly groaned, He had
been old enough when Dynevor Manor
passed to a stranger to feel the loss OF
the old place very keenly; but that
was as nothing compared to the bit
terness he felt at the bare thought Of
Uplands, his mothers home, going
from them to the man who was their
direst foe
please God, 1t shall not be-" he
said reverently, as he folded the letter
and put 1t in his pocket. Mother shall
never lose the house she was born in
II can help 1t, I'll work as man never
did before, I'll toll early and late, but
that money shall be found. And
Eustace Lindon must content himself
with Dynevor Manor; Uplands shall
not be his!"
But, brave as was the resolve, Har-
old did not make light Of the difficult
ties in his path, To raise such a sum
would have been hard task even in
prosperous times; and now, when a
succession Of bad harvests had spelled
something like ruin to many a land
owner, the difficulties Of the attempt
were quadrupled.

Dairy Notes

It was something Of surprise to IL
linois milk producers to be told by q
Wisconsin cheese expert that the milk
from which most creamerles make but
ter Is not clean enough for the usel OF
the cheesemaker. 1t was supposed that
the milk from which our best cream
cry butter Is manufactured Is as good
as can be obtained for any purpose.
Mr. Aderhold says not, and he may
be right. In the making Of butter the
milk Is passed through the separator
and great deal Of filth removed in
that process. Besides, only the cream
Is used in the making OF butter. In
the making of cheese the whole milk
Is used, and 1t Is not passed through
the separator.
II seems to be n fact that milk as q
food is becoming less popular every
year in Illinois. Not that the aggre-
gate amount consumed Is growing
less, but that the relative amount Is
lessening. We think the explanation
is not far to seek. People have learned
that milk, unless drawn under proper
conditions from healthy cows, is a
menace to health. No one cares to
drink milk drawn from tuberculous
udders. No one cares to use a fluid
that has been carried In utensils that
have been washed with water from
wells in which typhoid fever germs ex-
list. AS is we'll known there Is no bet
ter medium for the development Of any
kind OF disease germs than milk The
question is how shall the public fear
be allayed? The answer appears plain
to us: Make the conditions such that
the milk will be pure and then con-
vince the people that the case is as

BLOW FOR STRIKING FIR EMEN
United Mine Workers Declare All Union
 Men Must Return to Work.

wilkesbarre, Pa., July 1S.-The coal operators and the striking stationary engineers of the Wyoming Valley take opposite views of the action of the ex- ecutive committee of the United Mine Workers, which met in Scranton to- day. The committee decided that all firenen who are members of the United Mine Workers organization must re- turn to work.
 The operators think this is severe blow to the men on strike, and one from which they cannot recover. On the other hand the strikers claim that 1t will not effect them much as only a comparative1y few firemen belong to the United Mine Workers. It would seem that settlement of the strike now rested with the mine mployes themselves and not with the operators. The United Mine Workers have appar- entity declared for one policy and the stationary engineers for another. There are 10000 miners in the Wyoming and Lackawanna region and only about 1.SOO men. If the coal companies can secure enough firemen who are mem bers of the United Mine Workers to do their work in the boiler rooms there is nothing to prevent them from starting LID their colleries. A great many of the operators are confident that they can secure the required number. The strik- CTS, however, hold that they cannot and that the strike is as far from set tlement as ever.

 The matter of transferring $3.000 for the use of the park commission m ad- dition to the appropriation made ION the commission last December was alsns8 taken up. An act passed by the lasts legisla ture provides that the financag board may appropriate from unexpend- ed balances money to supply any deflS ciency which may arise in the needs of park maintenance for the present year, and in accordance with that the parln commission asked for the transfer OF $3, 900 to add to the appropriation for East Rock park.

 cessionatre Then ISills Himself.


 Buffalo, N. T., July 1S.-Ernesto z. Zeozaya, twenty-four years old, and a Mexican of good social standing, en- tered the streets of Mexico on the north Midway at the Pan-American grounds about Il o'clock tonight and after at tempting to murder Concess1onaire Me- Garvie, he fired a bullet into his own heart.
 He is said to be connected with rich banking family in the city of Mexico. It is said that he is a Cuban by birth and a grandson of the Cuban general Gomez. He came to this city from the City Of Mexico about three weeks ago.

 Tonight just as the bull fight began he walked up to MT. McGarvie and made final appeal. When he was in- formed that there was nothing for him to do, Zeozaya drew revolver from his pocket and fired at MT. McGarvie, the ball grazing the latter's arm. Geo. zaya then turned the weapon on him- self and fred The bullet passed through his heart and he dropped dead.

Bristol, R. l., July 1S.-When the Constitution starts westward she will be supplied with extra canvas, spars and rigging, and there is also stored in the sail loft here a steel mast, boom and yards which may be brought into use In case of an emergency. The Constitution never looked more trim than to-day at the close of work. The crew had nearly finished oling the un- derbody and the topsides shone in a new coat of paint. Some painting was also done below decks. Some mechan- ical work was done on the pintels of the rudder and at the same time the cleats of the boom were given more staunch fastening. There was a general inspec- ton of every part of the Constitution when repairs had been completed.

 CAPTURED FROM STEIN.
Final Step as the Situation Was Con- sidered Hopcless-Steyn, However, Urged the Continuance of HOstilttes - Great Hope of Foreign Intervention.

London, July 1s.-The war office is- sued late tonight a dispatch from Lord Kitchener giving the correspond ence between MT. Reitz and MT. Steyn that was captured with the latters baggage near Lindley, July Il.
 MT Reitz, under date of May 10, wrote MT. Steyn that a meeting of the Transvaal government had been held, attended by General Botha, General Viljeon and MT. Smutz, to consider the national situation. He went on to cat alogue the difficulties-the numerous surrenders of burghers entailing heavy responsibility on the govern lnent, the rapidly decreasing supply of ammunition, the disintegration of the government and the lack of any defln- ite assurances of European interyen- ton.
 "In view of these facts,'' he said, the government has decided to address message to President Kruger pointing out the terrible conditions. The time has pasesd for us to let matters drift as at present. We must take final step.''
 MT Steyn, replying May 15, upbraids MT. Reitz with weak heartedness. say ing: There is still sufficient ammu- milton to continue the struggle You ask what prospect there is of suc- cessful termination. I ask what chance there was for two small republics when they declared war against the mighty power of Great Britain You will say that we trusted in God and in foreign intervention What reason Is there now to place less trust in God?
 "I have seen recent European news papers and l firmly believe that com plications will occur in Europe in the course of few months which will se- cure our good fortune"
 Mir Steyn also says the fact that Mir Kruger and the Boer delegates remaln in Europe convinces him that they con- slider the case not beyond hope lie adds that he has summoned General De Wet and urges MT. Reitz to take no steps until he has heard further from him.

MORE STEEL MEN TO QUIT.

Sent Telegram to President sha fer Ask

 Them Not to Until They Are Organ

 Once-This is the Last of the Hoop
 Plants and Its Close VIII Tie Up This
 Branch of the Steel Industry Conn
 pletely.
 Pittsburg, July 1S.-Most important of all news regarding the steel workers strike that reached Pittsburg to-day was the action of the men employed in the Duncansville plant of the American Steel Hoop company. A telegram was received by President Shaffer from the men in the morning asking if they should strike
 President Shaffer answered telling the men not to come out unless they were organized. In the afternoon an- other telegram was received asking that an organizer be sent to them at once.
 Vice President John Pierce started for Duncansville this evening to com plete the organization. The Duncans- vile plant is the last of the hoop plants to remain at work, and the Amalga- mated association officials say if they are successful in closing this plant they will be masters of the situation IS far as the Steel Hoop company Is concern ed. at least.
 The action of the Ohio board of ar bitration in offering to bring about a settlement of the strike created some talk to-day in steel circles. M. M. Gar land, former president of the Amalg'S mated association and at present col lector of the port, said that he did not consider the action of the Ohio board as unusual, but rather the carrying out ,0a their duties as such body.
 In the immediate vicinity of Pitts burg the evident intention of the com- pany to attempt the reopening of the Dewees Wood plant at McKeesport is the only incident so far calculated to cause uneasiness. The men claim to be confident that enough men cannot be secured to operate the mill, and say no opposition will be made to any who may wish to go in. The police authorl- ties, however, have taken every pre- caution.
 The present center of the troubles seems to be at Wellsville, Ohio, where a public mass smeeting was held this af- ternoon for the purpose Representing sides of the controversy to the men and citizens generally The entire district contributed attendants at the meeting, and a. number of speeches were made, the principal one being that of Presi- dent Shaffer, of the Amalgamated asso- ciation. Another meeting will be held to- morrow.
 A dispatch tonight from Monessen says: ''In spite of all efforts to the con- trary, the tin mill here is still running full, and as far as present appearances indicate, 1t promises not to be affected in the slightest by the strike"
