Fellow dropped into the Office to-
day. The renting is in his hands.
You'll imagine, just as I did, that a
place of the sort rents for about $50
a month, but what do you suppose his
price was to me, I paying a month in
adyance?"
Ten dollars less, perhaps"
"Only $50 a month. It's cheaper
than a farmers hencoop. He's got
two or three other bungalows on the
same beach, and he wanted to adver-
tise the fact that l was a tenant. Why,
l can gather in and send to town $50

"But what is a bungalow"
"A bungalow? You don't know

my dear, is a-a"-
"a what?"
just now I can't exactly describe it.
He said it had all the modern con

There you go. Always croaking

the man would have come to me if the

not. Men don't SO around lying about
bungalows. Besides, l am going out
there in the morning and look the

pay for all repairs. By John, woman,

The subject was dropped at intervals
during the evening, but never for long.
and when bedtime came Mr.. Bowser
was SO excited that it was two hours
before sleep came. Then he locked his
fingers behind his neck and dreamed of
grabbing and claiming and gathering
in barrels Of ozone, and still in his
dreams he caught a whale in a bear

Each of the many stock foods, or
continental spices now on the market,
has its own particular composition,
and 1t Is better, both from the points
of view Of economy and cleanliness, to
make use of these, but II this Is quite
impossible the following recipe may be
safely adopted: Turmeric, one-nalf
pound; cumin, one-half pound; gentian,
three-fourths pound; ground ginger,
one-half pound; grains of paradise,
one-half pound; bi-carbonate of soda,
six ounces; fenugreek, six ounces;
blood root, four ounces; asafoetida,
four ounces brown sugar five pounds;
fine salt, / "a pounds. The above in
gradients should be well ground by
the druggist and be thoroughly mixed
with one thousand pounds Of finely
ground meal, or, if desired, 1t may be
fed without the meal. When mixed
with maize meal the quantity to be
fed to a horse, cow, or OK at each
feed is one pint, and to each calf,
foal, sheep, or hog, half a pint When
fed without the meal it should be CIV
en- In the proportion of a tablespoonful
to a horse, COW or OK, and half that
quantity for each Of the smaller farm
animals.

Indigestion in Cows.

1t Is a common expression to speak
Of COW as losing her cud when she
stops Illuminating. The trouble is due
to Indigestion wholly, and may be
easily remedied, in most cases, by a
proper diet. Usually this trouble &C.
ours most frequently in the winter,
when the cows are heavily grain fed
but sometimes occurs with cows in the
summer who are on the range, but are
receiving some grain. In such cases
3 good plan Is to cut out the grain ra-
ton entirely for a few days, or until
the COW again chcws her cud. For a
time after she resumes Illuminating
feed her largely on the grass with
some good hay, and gradually get her
on to the grain. A day or two after
the grain ration has been cut off the
cow should have a single dose Of one
pound of Epson salts and two ounces
of ground ginger root mixed In two
quarts of warm water. In the winter
reduce the grain ration one-half, give
her the medicine named above at the
beginning Of the treatment, and make
up the ration with roots or ensilage.
At all times COWS should have free &C
cess to rock salt, for it is a great diges-
tive.

level with the top of the stack, then
carried over and dropped at any place
on the stack. 1t will keep two men
busy on the stack all the time, and
they will not have to reach over the
edge of the stack to help get the hay
up. Besides, 1t does not drag up the
side Of the stack, as many pitchers do,
nor does it make the stack heavier on
one side than the other. A round
stack can be built twenty feet high
and easily made to hold from twelve
to fifteen tons. 1t saves time, money,
help, muscle, patience land other
things too numerous to mention"

CHAPTER XVII.

And I, who wanted incident" who
feared the WEAKNESS of a monotonous
voyage Of six thousand kilometers, in the
course of which | should not meet with
an impression or emotion worth clothing
in type!
l have made another muddle of 1t, l
admit. Ny lord Faruskiar. of whom
had made hereby telegraph-for the
readers of the Twentieth Century.
We are, as l have said, two hundred
yards from the valley of the Tjon, so
deep and wide an to require a viaduct
from three hundred and fifty to four
hundred feet long. The floor of the
valley is scattered over with rocks and
a hundred feet down. If the train had
been hurled to the bottom of that chasm
not one of US would have escaped alive.
This memorable catastrophe-most Inter
esting from a reporters point of view
would have claimed a hundred victims.
But thanks to the coolness,. energy and
devotion of the young Roumanian, we
have escaped this terrible disaster.
All? Mol Kinko has paid with his
life for the safety Of his fellow passen-
gers.
Amid the confusion my first care was
to visit the luggage van, which had re
manned uninjured. Evidently, IL Kinkc
had survived the explosion, he would
have got back into his box and waited
till put myself in communication with
him.
Alas! The Golfer is empty-empty as
that Of company which has suspended
payment. Kinko has been the victim o.
his sacrifice.
And so there has been hero among
our travelling companions, and he wal
not Faruskiar, this abominable bandit
hidden beneath the skin of a manager
whose name 1 have so stupidity publish
ed over the four corners of the globe
1t was this Roumanian, this humble, thi
little, this poor fellow, whose sweethear
will wait for him in vain, and whom sh

plan Of Farusklar and his Mongols,
when 1t was too late to stop It, but l
was silent regarding the intervention OF
Kinko. The moment had not come, and
would do him justice in due time.
Now that all danger had disappeared,
we must take immediate measures for
running back the cars on to the Pekin
line.
Tho best thing to do is to go to the
nearest station, that of Fuen-Choo, and
telegraph to Tai-Youan for them to send
on relief engine" 1 suggested.
Twelve of us, including Pan Chao,
Caterna and myself, volunteered to ac-
company Major Noltitz. But by COM
mon accord we advised Popof not to
abandon the train, assuring him that we
would do all that was necessary at
Fuen-Choo.
Then, armed with daggers and revolv-
ers-it was one o'clock in the morning
we went along the line to the junction,
walking as fast as the very dark night
permitted.
In less than two hours we arrived at
Fuen-Choo station without adventure.
Evidently Faruskiar had cleared off. The
Chinese police would have to deal with
the bandit and his accomplices. Would
they catch him? l hoped so, but doubt
ed it.
At the station Pan Chao explained
matters to the station master, who tele-
graphed for an engine to be sent from
Tai Youan to the Nankin line.
At three o'clock, just at daybreak, we
returned to wait for the engine at the
junction. Three-quarters of an hour af-
terward its whistle announced its APP
proach and it stopped at the bifurcation
of the lines. We climbed up on to the
tender, and half an hour later had re-
Joined the train.
The dawn had come on sufficiently for
us to be able to see over a considerable
distance. Without saying anything to
anybody, l went in search Of the body
of my poor Kinko. And 1 could not find
1t among the wreck.
AS the engine could not reach the
front of the train, owing to there being
only single line, and no turning table,
it was decided to couple it on in the rear
md run backward to the junction. In
this way the box, alas! without the Rou-
manian in 1t, was In the last carriage.
We started, and in half an hour we were
on the main line again.
Everything ends in this world below,
even voyage of six thousand kilometers
on the Grand Transasiatic; and after a
run of thirteen days, hour after hour,
our train stopped at the gates of the
apital of the Celestial Empire.

Improved Hay Devices.

The man who has stood with his
back to the stack pitching hay by
hand under a hot July sun will APP
preciate the picture here shown, says
a writer in the Ohio Farmer. The der
rick or pitcher will cost the man
on the farm about So in cash. 1t is
mounted on runners twelve feet long.
The base of the frame is 10 by 10 feet
square and the top 5 by feet. The
telephone pole in the center is twenty
five feet high. The arm is fourteen
feet long and the brace about twelve
feet. The pole and arm can be turned
in a complete circle by means Of
crowbar inserted in the pole near the
bottom.
An entire haycock can be easily
lifted straight from the ground to n
