In a stability furnished parlor sat
Jenetts Macomber, aged nineteen, and
her lover, Leon Wynne, ten years her
senior.

Leon shook his head. There's some
game in the wind" he said. well,
good night. I'll see you before you go"
The next day Leon Wynne called
upon Martin Cahoon, the lawyer who
had advertised for Jenetta. He found
a shrewd looking man, indeed one
whom Leon saw at a glance would
have no mercy in money matters
Il have noticed, said the young man,
''that you have advertised for Jenetta
Macomber, sole heir to the estate Of
Andrew Macomber"
Il have" said the lawyer, bringing a
pair Of piercing eyes to bear on Leon.
Il am Andrew Macomber's only
child. This Jenetta Macomber comes
from another branch Of the family.
She is my cousin"
"Can you substantiate thatT'
Il can"
Cahoon looked incredulous
See here" said Leon. There's no
use in you and me trying to fool each
other. This girl is under my influence.

Leon went directly to Jenetta and
told her the whole story. Then be
drew up paper confirming his claim
to the property, and she signed it. The
next day Leon took the paper TO the
lawyer. Cahoon looked at 1t, aston
ished. Then crafty smile passed over
his face.

"Not half the risk OF trying to work

Dust Baths.

We hope our readers will not forget
that there are only certain times in
the year when dust may be had from
tho welltrayeled highway During
most OF the year the road is either
frozen or muddy or In the process OF
drying, at which time II is not pos.
slble to get dust suitable for the use Of
the fowls. A few barrels OF dust at
this time OF year win serve to keep
the fowls free from body lice all the
rest OF the time. II will require a
little effort to make this collection
now, but II will save much work later
on busting the fowls one by one with
sulphur compounds or insect powders.
This hand work should be avoided as
much as possible. Give the fowls a
good dust bath and they will take care
OF the lice question.
II may be necessary TO go some dis.
lance to get the dust desired unless
the road In front OF the farm house is
well Travelled. The dust bath should
be arranged In good'sized box and
placed in the pen In place where tho
sun win strike II and keep II dry.
The hens like to lie and dust them.
selves IN the sun. especially In winter.
During the summer months dust
bath may be made out OF doors, near
tho poultry house, but should be pro-
tectod from above by some kind Of a
protection against rain. Otherwise a
sudden shower may turn the whole
thing into mud and II viii be several
days In drying out
The greatest difficulty we have
found with the dust bath is the lnollna-
tlon OF the hens TO roost on the edge
OF the box az night, II a cover is put
over IT, they try TO roost on the cover
But this can be olSiated by Ringing
the cover to the wall and having II
drop over tho box In a slantlng man
ner. The fowls will then find It i'm
possible to stick on the cover much
as they may desire TO do so. we
have had hens make the dust bath

annoying. We have no panacea iol
