For moments no word was spoken
John Burt stood by an opened win
dow, with his back to his friend, and
gazed out into the darkness.
Tell me about it, JIM" he said,
breaking the silence.
Blake related the details Of his in
PRODUCTION to Arthur Morris and told
of the night spent in the latter's apart
ment. He repeated the conversation
as nearly as he could recall it.
John abruptly changed the subject
and questioned Blake about his inter
view with Peter Burt, and smiled
quietly wnen he related his expert
ence with the old man. He was not
dispeased that Blake had been forced
to reveal his secret.
81 have anticipated his advice about
going to New York" said John. MY
plans are made, and if you are will
ing. we will make New York the fu
ture headquarters of James Blake q
Company with the San Francisco es-
Enlistment a branch house. Think 1t
over, Jim, and let me know your de-
cision as soon as possible"
'Ive thought it over" said Blake.
"Tm ready to go to New York the
minute you say So"
Very well, we'll go this month"
said John Burt.
1t was long past midnight when
Blake drove away and left John Burt
to the narrowing society of his
thoughts. For hours he sat before the
portrait of Jessie Garden. He recalled
the day when she had laughingly
placed the cherished tintype in his
hand. And now she was in Paris, by
the grace and under the bounty of
Arthur Morris-the one man in all
the world he hated.
"Its a lie-an Infamous, damnable
Iie!" he repeated as he paced up and
down the room. ut is not so-it shall
not be SOL"
But the black clouds of DOUBT again
obscured the rift made by vehement
hope. What reason had lie to doubt

Great Britain's Butter Imports.

In 1887 Great Britain was importing
about $4,000 tons of butter per year.
Last year she imported $4,000 tons.
This is an increase of 10000 tons in
seventeen years, or an average in
crease per year of 5000 tons. The
population of Great Britain has dou-
bled in fifty years, but the butter i'm
ports have very much more than kept
pace with the increase of population.
Denmark is the greatest source of but
ter supply the United Kingdom has
to-day. Germany used to send about
5000 tons annually, but has now prac-
tically dropped out of the race. The
Australasian colonies are becoming
year by year bigger factors in the i'm
portation of butter.

that which does not demand the dan
ger and turmoil of battle, is not
worth struggling for,
Four weeks later John Burt stood
on a ferry boat and gazed for the first
time on the matchless water front
and the ragged but impressive sky
line of New York city.
Blake had preceded him, and had
installed the permanent headquarters
of James Blake & Company. He met
John as he stepped from the train.
The two old friends greeted eac44
other with unfeigned cordially Blake
was in high spirits.
I'm glad you're here, John" he
said as they were seated in car
riage I've been in an awful fix for
week or more. What in thunder is
my opinion on the new currency bill,
John? Ten reporters and hundred
nnanciers have asked me that ques-
ton, and | have refused to commit
myself What shall tell them,
john"
"We1l discuss that over dinner"
laughed John. He gazed at Blake
earnestly, and asked: do you know
If Miss Garden has returned?"
IL have been unable to ascertain
that" said Blake. Il haven't seen
autobiography who would know.
I've been awfully busy, John"
Il know you have" returned John
in his old, cordial manner. Have
you secured hut for me, Jim?"
Il have fitted up dream of an
apartment for you, and have ordered
your favorite dinner"
The following day John Burt began
his New York career.

John heartily congratulated Blake
on his mastery generalship.
I'VE will talk business tomorrow,
JIM" he said Il am more anxious
to hear of other matters. Now, tell
me the news. Did you hear of Miss
Garden? Is my grandfather alive?"
Peter Burt is alive and well, said
Blake, glad to bring some good It'd
ings
Alive and we'll" repeated John
Burt. May God bless him! That is
good news. Go on, Jim
Arthur Morris is alive said Blake,
without lifting his eyes.
The local papers contained that
news, observed John, carelessly
What's the matter, old man? You're
pale. Are you ill?"
1--WE bad news for you, John, he
said, desperately. Il may as well tell
you and be over with it. Miss Car
denis engaged to be married."
Johns lip frightened and red spot
burned on his cheek.

John Burt sprang to his feet, hurl-
ing the chair backward with a crash.
He strobe forward, his eyes blazing
with fury and his features convulsed
with passion.
Its lie, Blake--it's lie, and you
know it's lie"
He lowered above his astonished
friend. His fingers were clenched and
his lips twitched. Turning abruptly,
he walked across the room with his
hands pressed over his forehead. For
a moment he stood silent, then abrupt
ly turned to Blake with his hands
outstretched.

AduIteratinu Dairy Products.

The adulteration of dairy products
does not mean only the putting In or
bulky substances to deceive the Gus
toner that finally buys them. The
term has much broader meaning III
the view of the, lawmaking powers
that have attempted to deal with the
subject. Milk may be adulterated by
the addition of water, and that is the
most common way of adulterating II,
but the man that adds any preserva'
tive adulterates his milk and is blam-
able under the law. The adulteratlon
with preservatives is more harmful
to the people than the adulteration by
means of added water. When the
water is added little money is
filched from the pocket of the con-
sumner, but in adulterating by means
of adding formaldehyde the producer
takes the health away from the one
that uses it, if the adulteration be
heavy or if the consumer be weak.
Adulteration of butter consists gen
orally of adding what is known as
neutral oil and selling it for butterfat.
But of late years other kinds of adul-
terations have been brought in many
OF which are more subtle than that OF
adding a foreign substance to the but
ter. One kind of adulteration is to
add more water than the butter would
naturally contain by working the but
ter at a high temperature. A second
kind OF adulteration is done by churn-
ing at high temperature, thus add
ing a large quantity of casein with
the butterfat, The resultant butter
is largely cheese and will develop a
cheesey flavor in a few weeks if not
used In either case direct fraud has
been committed on the consumer. Not
only should every honest man refrain
from adulterating his butter, but the
officers of the law should be keen in
hunting out violators of the law
against adulteration.
The common way of adulterating
cheese has been to add neutral oil
and other compounds not butter or
casein to take the place of butter fat
that had been removed. That has
been largely stopped by the officials,
but the new way is to skim off part of
the butter-fat from the milk that is to
be made into cheese giving a full
cream" cheese that is not full cream,
but has in it too much casein. 1t is, in
reality, skim cheese, even though
the milk from which it is made may
be what is known as a three per
cent" milk.

the statement made by Morris? Had
standing? Was not Jessie under obi
cations to him?
And what of Jessie? What valid,
lasting claim had he on Jessie Car
den? A few words spoken under the
stress of great excitement, a promise
of her friendship and of her prayers
nothing more.
No word from him had come to her
during long years. For all she knew
he was dead. What right had he to
expect that she should play tne part
of Penelope to silent, untrothed
Ulysses who reused to return from
exile?
This suggested a train of bitter con
lecture Why had he not been con
tent with a modest fortune? Why
had he devoted years to the amass-
ing of wealth which now Knocked his
love? Why had he despised the pre-
tensions of Arthur Morris? Why had
he failed to take steps to positively
ascertain the result of Morris
wound?
The words of Peter Burt came back
to him: ut is written in Gods word
If thou faint in the day of adversely
thy strength is small; for just man
I falleth seven times and riseth VI
again." Had he fallen seven times!
From the hour he left the old man
side until that night, no shade OF dis
appointment had come into his life
I Success had followed success and trl
umph had succeeded triumph. Every
prophecy made by Peter Burt had
| been more than fulfilled,
AS he recalled the past he remem
bered with keen joy the>parting words
of the old man: You have the love
| of woman | respect. She will wal
for you. Do not let the impotence o.
your love imperil your chances.
The sense of coming victory stole
over him as he stood before the por
trait and repeated the words: "Sh'

has remained about the same for
three years, but the value of exports
was greater by million dollars than

Why Trees Lean North.

In this climate young trees are liable
to lean away from the sun, toward the
north or east. The best way to keep
them straight is not to set them so
they lean toward the sun but to keep
them in balance by winter pruning. 1t
will be observed that the limbs on the
north side tend to grow faster than
those on the sunny side. In some
varieties the southern limbs turn to-
ward the trunk Of the tree, away from
the intense sunlight, while the north
ern limbs spread well out away from
the body of the tree. Shortening the
limbs on the north side equalizes the
weight of the head of the tree so it
will not tip to the north.-Prof. J. c.
Written.
