stance: He kept one day of the year reli-
gfously, and kept 1t always in the same way.
Long years before he had been blessed with
a wife who both understood and loved him.
He had never forgotten this fact. and once
a year. presumably on the anniversary OF
her death, it was his custom to go to the
cemetery where she lay and to spend the
whole day under the shadow Of the stone
he had raised to her memory. No matter
what the weather, no matter what the con-
dition of his own health, he was always to
be seen in this spot at the hour of z, lean
ing against the shaft on which his wife's
name was written. eating his supper In the
company of his dog. 1t was custom he
had never omitted. So we'll known was 1t
to the boys and certain other curious indi-
viduals in the neighborhood that he never
lacked an audience, though woe betide the
daring foot that presumed to invade the
precincts of the lot he called his or the
venturesome voice which offered to raise
itself In gibe or teer He had but to cast
a glance at Ridge and an avenging rush

he seldom had occasion to resort to this ex-

he was allowed to eat his meal undisturbed,
and to pass out unmolested even by ridi
Guile. though his teeth might still be busy
over some final tidbit. Often the great
tears might be seen hanging undried upon
his withered cheeks.
So much for an oddly which may stand
sample of many others.
One glance at the room into which he
ushered me showed why he cherished so
marked a dislike for visitors. 1t was bare
to the point of discomfort, and had it not
been for certain quaintness in the shape
of the few articles to be seen there should
have experienced a decided feeling Of re-

between this poverty-stricken interior and

No further opportunity was afforded me
that night for studying the three leading
characters in the remarkable drama ] saw

me by the captain which took me from the

Gossip.

Next morning the city was in a blaze of
excitement. All the burning questions of
the hour-the rapid mobilization of the
army and the prospect Of a speedy ad-
vance on Cuba-were forgotten In the one
engrossing topic of young Mrs. Jeffrey's
death and the awful circumstances sur
rounding 1t. Nothing else was in any ones
mouth and but little else in any ones
heart. Her youth. her prominence her
union with a man of such marked attrac-
tons as Mr.. jeffrey, the tragedy connected
with her marriage, thrown now into shad-
ow by the still more poignant tragedy
which haG so suddenly terminated her own
life. gave to the affair an interest which
for those first twenty-four hours did not
call for any further heightening by pre-
mature suggestion Of murder.
Though I was the hero of the hour and,
as such, subjected to an infinite number
of questions, followed the lead of my
superiors in this regard and carefully
refrained from advancing any theories
beyond the obvious ore of suicide. The
moment for self-exploitation was not ripe;
I did not stand high enough in the con-
fdence of the major, or. may say, Of the
lieutenant OF my own precinct, to risk the
triumph anticipated ultimately by pre-
mature expression Of opinion.

uttered something like a sighting remark
when on that first night endeavored to
call the captains attention to some Of the
small matters which had offered them
selves to me in the light Of clues. Perhaps
1t was the prospect OF. surprising him some
day which made me 50 wary now as we'll

MANIPULATING tho Udder.

In Milk Testlnu.


No test, whether the Babcock or
some other will run itself. It must be
handled by man not only honest, but
also competent. The test Is acurate,
II everything connected with its max
ing Is right. There are numerous
things that need to be looked after.
The milk, before the sample is taken,
must be thoroughly mixed. This can.
not be done by merely stirring It
around. Such stirring may still leave
most of the cream in the upper part.
1t must be mixed by pouring the milk
back and forth from one pail to an.
other. The temperature Of the milk
being tested should be the same for
each sample. The acid must be exact
in quantity and uniform In strength.
A failure at this point may give only
unreliable results. Then the speed Of
