CHAPTER XXIX.

In fact, the two lovers were in that
state of ~ecstatic somnambulism in which,
with eyes and ears wide open, they are
able to see absolutely nothing, besides
each other, and to hear no sounds save
the murmured words that passed between
themselves, to the perfect and memorable
exclusion of everybody else. Listening,
as anybody in the world will listen, to
the cooling of real lovers, and looking at
them slyly through the wicket, as any
body in the world will look at real lovers,
Bud Ellet could see and hear almost all
that could have been seen and heard by
John Wickly, leaning back on the front
seat, in the shadow so deep as to be in
effect absent, and therefore not at all in
the way.
''There appeared to be some real es-
cuse for my disguise and my lmperson-
alton Of a fictitious individual" Mr..
Huntley was saying, as his left arm fit
ted itself snugly into a comfortable sup
port for her head, where his hand could
lie protectingly, caressingly upon her left
shoulder without the slightest %inconven-
fence to anybody. You see the other
road held the mortgages as collateral for
a debt of the Farmers Bank. And by
some means they had gotten a hint of
the existence of coal veins under your
land. l was employed by our company
to go and make a thorough investiga-
ton of the whole matter as secretly and
quickly as possible. Fortunately for us
and for you, the other company was not
impressed with the value of the deposit
to the extent of inducing them to act
very promptly. And consequently my
work was almost completed when they
began their survey that revealed to
them the great value of the deposit. Then
came strategem and strife. Both COM
panies had obtained right Of way, save
some formalities On the part of our op-
ponents that enabled us to claim ex-
elusive right up to that time; and not
only to put down our track, but to pre-
vent them from putting down theirs. BY
means of my character of geologist, and
my brown wig, l could come and 90 ue-

her brown silk hat down against his
cheek In a way that everybody openly
derides, and secretly applauds and envies.
The protecting and caressing left hand
upon her left shoulder beats a little tat
too of grateful applause.

adversary had become aware of what

When Lambs Need Dipping.

If mature sheep are troubled with
ticks and lambs III with the flock
most Of the ticks in two or three weeks
after shearlng will have left the old
sheep to live upon the tender skin and
amid the longer wool OF the lambs. 1t
Is therefore evident that money will
be saved by dipping the lambs. In
badly infected cases a second dipping
will prove advantageous unless the old
sheep were dipped at the first applica-
ton. Ticks multiply very rapidly, and

geny will cause the whole flock untold

The most noticeable feature about a
Russian at home is his boots. Rus

form is known as the Wellington. The

Sub-Soiling for Orchards.


Fruit trees, and particularly apples,
require a deep soil and, Of course, one
that Is fairly rich. There are hun
dreds Of acres of rich clay soils that
would do splendidly for apples If prop
erly prepared. Trials which have re-
suited in failures have been almost
wholly due to the fact that the soil
had not been opened deep enough to
permit the roots of the trees properly
to penetrate 1t.
If such soils had been subsoiled,
using the implement made for that
purpose which does not throw back a
wide furrow, the roots would have q
chance to get into the soil severa
inches deeper than otherwise, anG
after that would be strong enough b
pierce the soil below without its being
losened. OF course 1t must be remem.
bered that II the soil below the dis.
lance penetrated by the subsoiler Is
wet and remains so, 1t Is not suited
t. tree roots. On the other hand, II
1t is simply wet enough to retain a
good amount of moisture, the trees
will then make a most desirable
growth.

Garden Hints.

The suckers Of gooseberries, currants
and red raspberrles should be rigldly
pulled.
In making the home garden do not
overlook garlic, chives, shallots, herbs,
etc, as they are exceedingly desirable
for ~flavoring purposes.
Early varieties of dwarf peas can
be grown between the rows OF tomato
plants. By the time the tomatoes are
large enough to occupy the ground the
peas will be out of the way. The pea
vines may be removed or left as a
mulch for the tomatoes.

Arsenic in Clothing.

The Department of Agriculture has
,een investigating the amount of ar
,enic used in coloring wall papers
ind in preserving articles of clothing.
Samples of wall paper were purchas'
ID in the open market in Washing
on and examined. Only four SAM
,les contained more than OIL grain to
he square yard. This is the maxi
mum quantity allowed by the law OF
massachusetts,, which is the only
State in the Union having a law reg
Rating the use of arsenic in wall pa
ser and wearing apparel. Several
samples of stockings were examined,
md a number were found to be heav-
Ily charged with the poison. Black
stockings seemed to contain a larger
amount of the drug than colored
stockings. Furs and fur rugs were
found to contain from 20 to LOO
lines as much arsenic as would be
allowed by the law of Massachusetts.
Poisoning caused by wearing gar
ments containing arsenic is a very
real danger and menace to health,
which is probably often overlooked.
Many cases of arsenic posing of OBJ
cur origin, no doubt, might be a

New Bread Making Process.

"The good housewives Of this coun
try" said an official of the state de-
partment the other day, will be in
terested in a report recently received
from United States Consul Mahin at
Nottingham in regard to a newly in
vented process for making bread, the
chief virtues of which are that 1t re-
duces the time and labor.
"As is well known, most Of the time
required in the ordinary process OF
making the staff of life is in the prep
aration and treatment of the dough.
After that has been mixed and knead-
ed it must be left to rise, a process
consuming anywhere from four to
twelve hours. Under the new process,
it is said, that this new operation Is
reduced to one hours time. The pro-
cess ia as yet a secret. but Is said to
REQUIRE no additional plant or ma.
terials. the desired effect being pro
duced by the action of temperatures.
AT a recent practical demonstration,
the bread was made UP into dough
ready for the oven in SO minutes, and
the batch of twenty-five loaves was
produced from the raw -four in two
hours and ~thirty-fve minutes. The
flour was weighed and the number OF
loates compared with the number pro.
duced by the ordinary process, n ii
was found that under the new process
eight more quartern loaves than usual
were produced from a sack Of -four

Why She Felt Lenient Towards the

A great deal depends on the point OF
