Whatever may have been the mys;
terry Of his past life, the marquis DEM
onstrated the fact beyond all perad-
venture that he was man Of action,
able to meet an emergency as It arose
and overwhelm it.
One leap and he was outside the
door Of his attic room-another took
him to that of the adjacent chamber,
from whence had come the murmur OF
voices
He tried to open this, but was BAT
iied--then he remembered, having
heard the key turned in the lock after
the entrance of the detected miniature
painter,
He threw his full weight forward, in
such a manner that the impact was
something tremendous.
There was a crash, and the door flew
back.
Into the chamber darted the mar
quis, holding his breath, for the deadly
fumes of the wretched little charcoal
stove were almost suffocating.
His first move was to throw up the
WlnuOW, IuuS dAAOWAhb q SuAASAe Va
pure air, at least as good as this sec
ton Of London could boast, to sweep
through the chamber, draught being
formed by the open door.
Next he picked up the pitcher Of
water standing on the box and DASH
ing it over the smoldering charcoal,
effectually wound up its miserable part
OF the tragedy.
To the bed he hastened.
The women lay there wan and mo-
tionless-indeed, his first thought was
that he had come to the rescue too
late, and that death had already
claimed his victims.
Picking up the younger one in his
strong arms, this resolute man OF ac>
ton bore her to the window and laid
his burden down where the incoming
current OF air would fall upon her
face.
Then he went back for her older
companion.
Her eyes were open, though she
seemed to be enthusiastically she
had partially covered her head with
the bed clothes and thus In measure
escaped the full result of the smoth-
ering sensation.
Again he hurried to the side OF the
form at the window bending oh. so
eagerly over her. and scanning her
pinched face for signs Of returning
animation.
The futter of an eyehd. low sigh,
slight movement Of hand-these
were enough to tell him the Joyful
tIdings. and when he had assured him-
self OF this fact, faint. but ferveni

lips OF the man.

The Marquis OF Montezuma.
1t was lovely June, and London shell
tered at least a million and a half of
visitors within her gates, for the great
est Jubilee the world has ever known

ing of hxty years reign on the part
Of the beloved sovereign, Victoria.
Among the millions who gazed upon
the marvellous spectacle, none occu-
pied a more commanding position than
a gentleman of distinguished appear
ance, who seemed to control several of
the best windows In the second floor
of famous hotel in front OF which
the procession moved.
His manner seemed cold and re-

peared gloomy, as might man bowed
down with heavy cares.
Among those who speculated with
regard to the Identity of this mysteri-
Gus guest of the fashionable hotel
were a couple Of gentlemen seated at
the window of an office further down
the street.
One OF these was no other than Cap
tain Maurice Livermore. the famous
traveller. His companion was a club
man, who pretended to do little bust
ness for the looks of the thing, which
accounted for the office in the Strand.
Come, tell me who that fellow over
yonder may be? He seems to lord 1t
like prince of the blood. From what
part of the world does he hail?" ask

him, the Marquis Of Montezuma.

The ideal draft horse might be bred
with greater certainty, says a writer
on horses, if the mare be equally as
well-bred as the sire to be used upon
her. Men of wealth can afford to buy
and establish horse breeding ranches,
but the mass of the horses must for
years to come be bred on the farms,
and by men who are breeding for the
there is in it, that they may lift
the mortgage and pay for the home,
and they have not the means to buy
high priced mares to breed from, nor
is it necessary for them to do so. Let
them take the best mares they own
not the poorest or worn out, blemished
ones, but those that are sound in wind
and limb, unless the unsoundness
surely come from accident or some
epizootic disease. Never breed a
mare simply because she is good for
nothing else, but breed from the one
that is good and the more goodness
she has the better

inent-domain fanatics, farmers would
have felt more kindly toward sports
men and the granger legislators would
have been more friendly when assis-
lance was asked to pass game-protec-
tive laws. On the contrary, they
passed laws entrenching farmers still
more strongly in their rights, not the
least of which are the penalties inn
posed for trespassing.
The friendly farmers and the true
sportsmen however are still among us.
By the posting of notices game is in
directly protected and the true sports
man, who is a gentleman always, duly
regardful of the rights of others, knows
how to be persona grata with the land
owners and finds good shooting in
consequence. The hoodlums and
toughs who shout about the rights of
the people to kill game anywhere,
have gradually been forced to realize
how vague and unstable are their
claims. In the course of this evolu-
ton more and better sportsmen have
been produced and best of all the peo-
pie in the country are not having their
farm animals shot down and their
own lives endangered by the unprin-
cipalled hounds who prowl around the
country with breech-loaders and shot
guns under their arms.

fed in conjunction with skim milk
for a. period of 100 days it was found
that the lot fed corn alone made an
average net gain of ninety-eight
Mound. while the hogs fed corn and
skim milk made an average net gain
of 11S pounds. In this instance 1t
required 4.16 pounds of corn alone
TO make one pound of gain, while in
the other lot it required 200 pounds
of corn and 2.31 pounds Of skim milk
TO make one pound of increase.
AS result of the above expert
ments it was concluded that skim
milk may form the largest part OF the
ration for young and growing pigs
with advantage and impunity For
the fattening of swine weighing on
an average of over 100 pounds 1T is
economical to give an allowance OF
skim milk not exceeding five pounds
per day. In every case the swine fed
with part of their ration of skim milk
was lustier, more vigorous and OF a
more healthy appearance than swine
fed on a ration of grain. Pound for
pound, skim milk was conceded to be
worth from one-siXth to One-fifth as
much as mixed grain ration.

The Annual Raid Of The Hunters

Every farmer in the country is just
now having an annual spasm of dis
tress over the invasion of pot-hunters
and game slayers who go about the
country armed to the teeth" as the
police reporters call it. After all the
outrages of tresspass that have oc-
Cured in the name of Sportsmanship,
who can blame the farmer for posting
notices and fOrbidding sportsmen to
enter thereon? Some men seem to
think that because ranchman owns
several hundred acres of land he has
not the same right that an urban res
ident has who owns forty-foot yard.
1t goes without saying that a person
entering the citizens yard without the
consent of the owner would be sum-
marily ordered out and no one would
think of going onto ground to play
any kind of game, for instance, with
out first asking permission.
If anyone presumed otherwise he
would not question the right. of the
owner to order him off, On the other
hand when it comes to the farmer with
his two, four or eight hundred acres,
they call him selfish old crouch, a
hog who wants all the shooting him
self and often blasted foreigner who
thinks he owns all the game in the
land because he posts warnings and

pathy of farmers who object to sports

looked down with scorn upon all men SO
foolish and stupid as to work hard for a
living. His story graphically depicts the
successful metropolitan thief at the height
of fame and fortune. and contains much
significant information to the understand
ing which exists between criminals and the
metropolitan machinery OF justice.
But the most adroit, daring and we'll
financed New York criminal must come to
the inevitable finish. according to this auto
biography of thief. There arrived time
when Jim was not able to square himself
with the police captain of his district, and
was tried. convicted and sentenced to five
years and seven months in Sing Sing. From
that moment dated his downward course as
an unsuccessful criminal. and the story that
follows is one of baffled outlawry ending in
complete Generalization. The criminal can
not war successfully against society. This
apparently true story of thief's life makes
this fact plain beyond disputins. 1t is a
teaching that will be confirmed by the eX-
perience Of every honest policeman who has
had any considerable service in the sup
