induce her to leave the spot. She stood

CHAPTER xxxlli.
Scorned.

The door of Barbara's boudoir stood
open. She motioned Lennox in. and
he obeyed, simply because his strength
had failed him. A door of communica-
ton also led to the room they had just
left, but he did not notice it, as he
sank down upon couch. He ROW
knew of the hope which had upheld him
in all this dreary search-kncw it by
the hopelessness OF his despair, while
Barbara watched his anguish With the
exultation OF triumph.
At last-at last she was nearing her
goal. She was doing out to Milton
dennox's heart the suffering he na4
meted out to her. And yet-and yet
she loved him-loved him, with dos
ecration of the word, it is true, with
a passion morbid in its intensity, cut
scorching, whitening in its heat. His
very pain was pleasure to her 1t
seemed to bring him nearer to her-to
level the barriers that had separated
them; she exulted while the mad,
sweet hope she had thought buried for
ever rose from it's ashes-that he
might yet turn to her.
For many minutes neither spoke;
she gently crossed the room and laid
her hand softly on his bowed head.
Milton, would have spared you if
I could" she whispered.
Her tone thrilled with pity.
You would have spared me-" he an
swered hoarsely-"you have fulfilled
your VOW. Let me leave this accurscd

:; Danish Dairy Cattle.

We may very properly inquire
whether there are cattle In other
countries which would improve our !
dairy herds or be valuable acqutsi-
ton to tho variety we now possess. 1
Although others may hold, different
views, it is the belief of the writer
that the only countries to which any
attention can proftably be given In
this connection are Denmark, France,
and Switzerland. The first named
furnishes the best example in the
world Of dairying as national spec
ialty, of rapid development, and OF
present high average production and
excellence. Here we find the Red
Danish cattle to be the standard stock, .
and very satisfactory business cows
But they lack uniformity except in
color, particularly in udder develop
ment and other dairy points, and in
the show ring the very best of thems,
could not hopefully compete with the
best Of any one of the four leading
dairy breeds of this country. AS dairy
performers they are good, but not re-
markable; the best yearly records the
writer has seen show an average pre-
duction of 5000 to $500 pounds of
milk per cow, in herds Of IL to -
animals of all ages, with an average
fat content of about 81 per cent, an
equivalent of 290 to 1926 pounds of
butter per year. A very celebrated
herd of 70 cows averaged 7,150 pounds
OF milk year. In Jutland there is a
dlstinctively dairy race of sharply de-
hned black and white markings in ap-
pearance reminding one of Holland
cattle, and still more of Brittanies, al
though between these two races in
size. They are very attractive COWS,
OF rather less than medium size, and
excellent mixers. Both these races
OF Danish cattle may be credited with
being economical producers; yet none >
OF them are wanted here, for super
lative excellence seems to be lacking
on the one hand, while on the other
they appear predisposed to tubercu-
'osis and very generally tainted with
this insidious and dread disease

upon to give variety and effectiveness

of spectators, which assembled from
all parts of the state 10 witness the
sport, if the shouts and applause which
greeted those that entered the list for
the prizes may be taken as an index Of
their enjoyment.
Governor Peabody and his stat were
present and took lively interest in the
proceedings, which did not drag as is
sometimes the case with athletic sports,
and when the program was ended most
of the visitors returned to Denver car

outing OF more than ordinary pleasure
and the Consciousness that they had
seen more than one record in high
school athletics broken.

former did not succeed in winning any
Of the laurels reserved for the victors.
