BOOK THREE.
Tho Modern Monte crl.to.


Two weeks more sufficcd to make
the Marquis OF Montezuma famous in
London. Every day new accounts of
astonishing features connected with
his life appeared ir the papers.
Naturally the Marquis was the most
sought after man in all London.
Bushels of invitations poured in
upon him over which his secretaries
we're busy all day. their labor being
usually polite note, declining the
honor on account of pressing engage
ments.
The Marquis accepted a few invita-
tons, and these generally took him
10 the clubs, though the season was so
late few notables could be met with
there.
Captain Livermore had forced the
Hon. Prentice Langford to keep his
word-he had. early made the acquaint-
ance of the American Midas, and they
reached the friendly stage of inter-
course that Is marked by a game be-
tween gentlemen, but somehow. for the
first time in his life, the genial cap
tain found luck run harshly, and, in
stead of handling some of the wonder
| full wealth of the nabob. he was strip
red of all the ready cash he had at
hand.
Certain of retrieving his fortunes,
he played time after time. Finally he
staked his all on last chance. Evil
fortune followed him to the very end
he was compelled to drink the dregs,
for he had lost.

opponent, he saw sparkle in the eyes
of the Marquis, glow of triumph that
gave him n cold chill.
Where had he seen that same look
before? Cudgel his brain as he would.
he could not remember. II am done
for tonight, Marquis; you have won
all l possess: your luck is prodigious," "
he said, as he rose.
"Ah! indeed, you are kind to say so,
captain; but I assure you 1t was not
always the case. The demon of mis-
fortune has had his little fling at my
door, even as he now knocks at yours,
but you see l lived through it, and my
hour has come. Shall we enjoy any
further social play, captain? I assure
you, 1t is a rare pleasure for me to en-
gage in this little pastime with gem
tleman of your skill and attain
ments.''

to scrape any part of my resources to-

satisfied that l am down to bed rock.

grimly.

some later date I trust to see you

He nodded assent.
The Marquis was glad when my lady
dragged him away TO another part
of the garden TO meet others OF her
fair guests: but he understood what
hidden meaning lay beneath the words
which the biack-eyed Spanish beauty
fioated after him. and which would
arise many times to haunt him:
'Au revoir. Marquis. ! always keep
my word!"
The opportunity had come at length.
A few hasty words from his hostess
and the Marquis found himself face

Asp.rssss Ps.ssias.


The old methods OF planting aspara-
gus would hardly apply at this day
when that deiieaey Is raised in im-
mense quantities in large fields. Just
imagine trenehing q field OF several
acres extent. IL used to be thought
that the only way to raise this plant
was to dig trenches three and four fsst
deep and MI them with alternate lay
ers Of manure and turf mixed with
soil These trenches were sometimes
not only three feet deep. but each one
was three feet wide. Practically all
the manure buried at such . depth
was wasted. The asparagus Is a plant
that feeds near the surface. IL TO-
quires good deal OF water. but II does
not draw Its food from the water. u
will not feed below the water table
In the soil. Today fields arc well pre-
pared and enriched. and the planting
OF the asparagus roots proceeds about
as rapidly as does the planting OF po-
iaioea- Tho roots are placed at .
depth Of foot or less. sometimes not
more than fourth Of that II Ii bet
ter TO place tho plants at depth OF
SIX Inches or more This Is especially
the case when the plantation covers
large field. as II Is necessary to cuiti-
vate over the plants to keep down tho
weeds. Shallow planting may give an
early yield for tho 1rst year or two.
but the plants will not be SO sstisfnc-
tory In years to come Anoti er old
fnllacy was that OF close planting.
Fifty yearn ago the plantations OF as
parasus were mostly on small arcaa-
II was no unusual thing to md tho
plants set In rows foot apart aud
six inches apart In the row. This In
a few years gave perfect network OF
roots In tho soil. and tho asparagus
stalks wcrc hardly larger than lead
pencils- Now tho plants when set on
large areas arc generally nj least three
feet apart. and sometimes tho rows
are four feet apart. with plants thrco
feet apart In the rows.

Cattle in Porto Rico.

There is no spot on the globe where
they raise better milch cows and beef
cattle than in Porto Rico. 1t
may not be generally known that Lord
Durham took with him to Europe in
the eighteenth century number of
Porto Rico cows and bred them to
Holstein stock, thus producing the ia
nous Shorthorn Durham, but such Is.
nevertheless, the case. Feed
and water are most plentiful. the cat
tie need no housing nor care whatso-
ever and there is plenty of shade for
them in most parts of the island-a
combination of conditions that fore
shadows a bright future for the cattle
raising industry in Porto Rico.-Porto
