ION through Gulldford, Tunbridgo
Wells. Horsham. en- the outskirts OF
Lewes were reached And there the
trouble began.
THE chauffeur had insisted more
than once on descending at certain
inns and refreshing himself with
brandy.
by the time Lewes was In sight the
man was In a state of semi-lntoxica-
ton, and was quite incapable Of con-
trolling the machine.
CHANGING 10 turn her head at this
point Beattie saw coming up behind
them at racing speed half a mile or 80
astern another motor. which, even at
that distance, seemed strangely ia
mlliar to her.
Nearer and nearer It urew, the
stupehed Frenchman in charge of the
leading car becoming more and more
unable to steer It.
1T was at a bend in the road that
the catastrophe happened
ION the right hand was a high bank,
and into this the driver made to run
Beattie's car.
by a miracle of mercy he could not
turn the steering wheel, balancing
himself and falling out under the
wheels in front, which passed over his
body.
Though bewildered and panic
stricken, Beattie caught hold Of the
gear with both trembling hands and
tried TO keep the car straight. What
would have been the result of her
efforts it is hard to say, though it is
almost morally certain that in the
streets Of Lewes she would inevitably
have come to grief.
Now for Colonel Jim's part In It.
Putting on the pace for a final
squirt, he raced alongside of the run
away, managed to stop his own ma
chine, at the same moment leaoing
on to the other one.
Selling the steering wheel with his
left hand-his right arm was broken
on the leap-he wrenched it round and
brought the car to a full stop.
Then appeared the representative
of the law, who, running back, dis
covered that the chauffeur was fatal
ly injured.
THE rest you know, though there
is one little thing more which I will
tell you in confidence. as it renders,
from my point of view, all that
Colonel Jim did that day the more
heroic.
'Beattie told me, more than a year
after we were married, that some
words that escaped her rescuer's lips
as he reached her side in the flying car,
convinced her beyond all doubt that
he loved her, and that he risked his
life for the sake of a woman whom
he knew had given her heart to an
other man.
How Colonel Jim came to follow
after Beattie was owing to a servant
at the house, who overheard her or
ders to the chauffeur, telling him, as
ne drove up in his own machine al
most directly afterward and inquired
for her. He knew that her action
would compromise her with her
friends and society, and, in her in
terests, decided to persuade her to
come back.
"Of course, the dear old fellow had
to leave the service, though he has
since got his step on the retired list
Now what do you think of him, Tai
bot?"
Think Of him?" said why, that
for a man among men, never expect
to meet another like Colonel JIM"
"As you certainly never will" said
Maxwell, raising his glass. Here's ia
Colonel jim, and God bless him!"-

MR.. SIMMS HAS A
SERIOUS cOUNTENANCE

S@NlSoS SOSIN SINNINSSs
The thing that makes life worth the
while is the value of a smile, and that
is what you get in "Pickings From
Puck" which will appear at the New
Grand Manager tonight. 1t is a glad,
mad whirl of color, with it's many
voices of the chorus. and it is a pleas
full of glad smiles within the reach of
eve the glummest of is. The farce
goes with a vim and bounce, and the
lines are like a game of verbal ping
pong, SO deft are they in their hits.
Mr.. William Simms, who is the star,
has a serious countenance that no cos
metics could give him. Most funny
men are not funny to all people, but
all people feel that Mr.. Simms was cut
out for a funny man from his birth.
He cuts a wide swath and those who
admired his antics when he was chief
comedian with the Lillian Russell Op-
era company will help to crowd the
theater during the run of this tuneful
comedy.
The women with their airy gowns and
their gorgeous costumes assur us that
life has its joys. The combination of
song and dance, with the pretty scenic
effects. will prove to be a revelation.
and the new ping Pong" dance will
be the talk of the town.

manufacturers have discovered to their

to screw the oblong kcrchicfs round

FOOD AFFECTS BUTTER.
TAis fact IL Now Recognized ~ Sci.
entists and DRirymcn Here
aud Abroad.

Butter product Of a COW cannot be in
creased by feeding fatty substances, but,
the quality OF the butter can be always
Affected in that way. For this reason
the chemists are having no little difi-
Guilty In determining the purity OF but.
ter when the cows have been fed on GER
tain foods. such as oil cake. II is found
on analysis that toward the end OF a
cows lactation the volatile acids In the
butter fat become few. 1t has also been
found by a Swedish professor that cows
exposed to cold and wet weather give
butter fats that have in them a com
paratively small amount of butyric acid.
Even the Dutch butter made In the fall
OF the year when the nights are cold and
weather conditions bad have such a
small amount Of volatile acids in them
that 1t has ofen been supposed that the
butter was mixed with o~leomargarine.
We have not ~infrequently seen butter
In this country that appeared to have
TO more flavor than oleo. In fact the
writer was SO sure at one time that he
had been sold ol~eomargarine for but
ter that he sent a sample to the Mich
igan agricultural college for analysis.
II proved TO be pure butter. When pas
ture conditions are good the proportion
Of volatile acids is high and this gives
a butter OF high flavor. When the cows
are stabbed and we'll fed in winter the
volatile acids again appear in the but
ter TO an appreciate extent. Nearly all
foods have some influence on the flavor
Of butter.
Green fodder gives a butter that IL
low in the melting point and quite rich
In volatile acids-therefore It has high
flavor, II Is some what surprising to
note that silage gives a butter that has
a high melting point, and the same Is
true OF hay. The feeding Of grains favors
the increase Of volatile acids. Oats, cot
ton cake, peas and beans are beneficial
In their effects on butter. Feeds con-
tanning much sugar exert a rather de-
teriorating effect on the butter fat.
Cows that have been fed on c%ottOnseed
meal shOw a reaction for ~c6ttOneeed oil
when analysed, up to m per cent Of oil.
IL follows that an analyst might declare
nat a butter had been mixed with cot
tOnseed oil when the cow had only been
Ted ~cOttonseed meal. However, II the
analysis showed more han one per
cent. II might be regarded as reasonably
certain that the oil came In otherwise
than through the COW. But in the case
81 sesame oil a test carried on in Eng
land showed no reaction for that oil
after the sesame cake had been fed for
two months. In some Of the countries
OF Europe sesame oil must be put into
oleomarearine go that IL can by hat
means on analysis be distinguished from
butter.-Farmers' Review.
