NORA ALEXANDER

THE clock in the hall had chimed 2
a. m, but Janet Kimbolton still
fingered by the dying fire in the great
lonely drawing room, absorbed in the
memory of long dead past.
"Jean!"
She started violently. Had she
heard it or only dreamed it? Dreamed
that stifed, stricken whisper? Only
one human being ever called her that,
and it was 20 years
At that moment the electric light
was switched off and a curt, incisive
voice came to her out of the darkness.
Don't scream. You needn't be
afraid. l swear not to harm you"
Then Janet Kimbolton realized the
situation. She had dreamed it, of
courSe-dreamed that whisper. But
she was no coward, though her bravery
was of kind that comes when life has
lost its SAVIOR, the bravery that fears
nothing because it hopes nothing.
Il am not afraid" she answered COM
posedly, and waited.
For few moments only the faint
tlnkle OF gems striking against pol
ished surface broke the stiffness, for
the man was struggling hard for self
control.
you are brave woman" he said at
last, with genuine admiration.
She gave herself mental shake. 1t
was obviously absurd that this myster-
ious burglar should recall the tones of
voice so long since silent to her. She
was half dreaming still, she told her
self. Yet it gave her queer sense of
comfort in her helplessness.
81 am not going to take your jewels, ="
he went on slowly; when have gone
you will find that they are all here"
"Are they-not worth taking?" she
questioned, with a touch of humor that
never deserted her.
They're worth just about $5O,OOO,"

MOLASSES FOR STOCK.
cellently on 1t in Louisiana for
Several Years.

Molasses has for two years been in
general use in Louisiana for the feed
ing of horses, mules and all stock, and
probably nine-tenths of the draught
animals in the sugar district get this
food either alone or mixed with oats
or corn. The animals like it, and are
kept in splendid condition by it,
Sugar mules" which are fed on mo-
lasses mainly, are worth from 20 to
25 per cent. more than the mules on
cotton plantations, which are fed
generally on cottonseed and cotton
seed meal.
Molasses has been a waste prod
uct in Louisiana ever since the i'm
proved processes in the manufacture
of sugar have extracted more of the
saccharine from it than formerly. 1t
has been problem how to get rid of
1t. The discovery therefore that it
could be used as a food for stock was
of double value. Six months ago a
factory was erected for the manufac-
ture of cattle food from molasses.
The process is very simple. The mo-
lasses is mixed with corn or oats in
nearly equal proportions. The mix
ture is pressed into a solid mass and
dried and then ground into a fine
powder.
1t is like the cottonseed meal with
which cattle and horses are fed
throughout the world. The horses,
mules and cattIe are very fond of
the molasses, and they do better on
it than on any other food fed to
them. They keep fat and are capable
of extraordinary work in hauling
heavy loads.
This one factory turns out $50 tons
of molasses preparation a day; and
the stuff is being rapidly subs tituted
on the plantations for the raw mo-
lasses, not because it is any better,
but because it is more conveniently
handled. So far the use of moIasses
for feeding horses has been confined
to New Orleans and the sugar dis
tricts, but by this process, which
enables it to be handled easily, it is
likely to be shipped elsewhere. Only
a small part of the Louisiana mo-
lasses crop, which runs to from 3d.
100000 to 50,000,OOO gallons a year, is
used for horse and cattle food or in
any other way; and a large proper
ton of it is thrown away or burned
in the furnaces with the bagasse and
other waste and refuse.

Under the direction of the depart
ment of agriculture at Washington,
Prof. F. NJ. Webster has been making
thorough examination of the farm
lands of Indiana and Illinois, in an
effort to discover and destroy the
rusts and germs which are working
havoc among the crops. His exam
nation of the extreme southern part
of Illinois, which is just completed,
has been very thorough and ex-
haustive, and the result is very graft
flying to the farmers of that section.
Prof. Webster claims that scarcely
any sections yet examined are more
free from destructive germs than
southern Illinois; and he attributes
this fact to the great diversity of
crops and to the rotation of grains
prevalent in that section. A bulletin
will soon 10 issued, giving the re-
ports and results of his labor.

study Science of Feeding.

In no other branch of the live stock
industry does weight for age cut such
a figure as in the hog business. A pig
that is not good grower and gamer
is no good. His breeding on paper
may be fine, but if he is not growing,
he will not satisfy the customer who
is looking for hog that will breed bet
ter and growthier stock. All breeders
of pure-bred hogs, therefore, should
be good feeders, and no one who is
not good feeder should attempt to
break into the business. 1t is well to
learn to feed hogs before spending
much money for fancy breeding stock.
Many who have failed with pure-bred
stock have simply been ignorant of the
science of feeding. 1t cannot be
bought or learned, except by expert
ence and practice. The man who
doesn't know how would better get
his experience on grade hogs. 1t will
cost him less.-Cincinnati Commercial

that 1t had already published the
information lately brought to
light i'll relation to the late W.

"The Article attracted the at
tention of Mrs. Al Brosius and
she remembered that Connie Sims
had been brought here from
Goodland, l. L. and had died at
the Akin hospital with typhoid
fever and the body was taken
to Goodland for interment. The
hospital register was looked up
and the following entry was
found:
"Connie Sims, boln IN Groes-

hospital Nov. II, 1896. Died
Nov. 81, 1896 of typhoid fever.
Brought from Goodland, l. T."

OF the history of VIM. H. Sims,
whose life seemed to have been
a checkered one and a portion of

Limestone county where Connie
was born. His wife subsequent
ly left there and went to Indian
Territory where she married Sam
Peyton, an uncle of Mrs. Brosius
OF this union Austin Peyton, who

is how Mrs. Brosius came to know
about Connie Sims. The mother

killing in Branchville.
News and Courier.

Branchville, Jan. 20. Annie
Evans, colered, was killed here
early yesterday morning in Rich
ard Sweat's house. A jury was
immedif tely summoned to hold
an inquest and, after almost a
days Investigation, Richard Sweat
was arrested for the crime. The
gun that she is supposed 20 have
been shot with was found in the
bed between the mattresses.
Sweat gave different tale about
the gun being secreted IN the bed
from that told by his wife. She
did not know the gun was in the
bed, and he SAID that she put it in
the bed. The daughter Of the de-
ceased told still another story,
stating that when she heard the
shooting she jumped up and saw
her mother lying on the floor, and
about that time Sweat raped on
the back door to let him in.
The negroes collected in squads
last night, threatening to lynch
Sweat, but up to this writing
Sweat is still alive and he will be
carried to Orangeburg this morn
ing to await trial at the next term
| of court.
