Coming back. he looked again at the
window; then. with gesture toward
Mr.. Grey, turned the corner of the
building and began to edge himself
along its side In an endeavor to reach
the rear and see what 1t offered. But
he came to sudden standstill. He
found himself on the edge of the bank
before he had taken twenty steps. Yet
the building projected on, and he saw
why it had looked 30 large from a GER
tain point Of the approach. Its rear
was built out on piles. making Its depth
even greater than the united width of
the three stores. At low tide this
might be accessible from below, but
just now the water was almost on a
level with the top of the piles, making
all approach impossible save by boat
Disguised with his failure, Sweetwa-
ter returned to the front and, finding
the situation unchanged, took a new
resolve. After measuring with his eye
the height Of the flrst story, he coolly
walked over to the strange horse and,
slipping his bride, brought 1t back
and cast 1t over a projection of the
door. BY Its aid he succeeded in climb
ing up to the window, which was the
sole eye to the interior
Mr. Grey sat far back in his buggy,
watching every movement
There were no shades at the window,
as have before said, and once Sweet
waters eye had reached the level of
the sill he could see the interior with
out the least difficulty. There was no.
body there. The lamp burned on
great table Uttered with papers, but
the rude cane chair before 1t was emp
ty, and so was the room. He could see
into every corner of it, and there was
not even hiding place where anybody
could remain concealed. Sweetwater
was still looking when the lamp, which
had been burning with considerable
smoke, 1ared up and went out. Sweet
water uttered an ejaculation and, find
ing himself face to face with utter
darkness, slid from his perch to the
ground.
Approaching Mr.. Grey for the second
time, he said:
| Il cannot understand it, The fellow
is either lying low or he's gone out,
leaving his lamp to 60 out too. But
whose Is the horse? Just excuse me

Sweetwater did not answer He
dared not. How speak OF the electric
torch he as a detective carried in his
pocket? That would be to give himself
away. He therefore let this question
slip by and put in one of his own.

spaces before him. "Duck your head,
sir, I'm going to row In under this
portion of the house"
Mr.. Grey would have protested, and
with very good reason. There was
scarcely a space of three feet between
them and the boards overhead. But
Sweetwater had so Immediately suited
action to word that he had no choice.
They were now In utter darkness,
and Mr.. Grey's thoughts must have
been peculiar as he crouched over the
stern, hardly knowing what to expect
or whether this sudden launch into
darkness was for the purpose of flight
or pursuit. But enlightenment came
soon. The sound Of q mans tread in
the building above was every moment
becoming more perceptible, and while
wondering possibly at his position Mr..
Grey naturally turned his head as
nearly as he could In the direction Of
blank eyes into the darkness when
Swestwater. leaning toward him, whis-
pered:
Look up! There's trap. In min
ute he'll open 1t. Mark him, but don't
breathe a word, and I'll get you out of
this all right"
Mr.. Grey attempted some answer,
but 1t was lost In the prolonged creak
Of slowly moving hinges somewhere
over their heads. Spaces which had
looked dark suddenly looked darker;
hearing was satisfied, but not the eye.
A mans breath painting with exertion
testified to a nearby presence, but that
man was working without a light In a
room with shattered windows and Mr..
Grey probably felt that he knew very
little more than before. when sudden

darkness. a face so white. with every
feature made so startllngly distinct by
the strong light Sweetwater had
thrown upon 1t. that it seemed the only
thing In the world to the two men be-
meath. In another moment 1t had van
ished, or, rather. the light which had
revealed It.
"What's that? Are you there?" came
down from above in hoarse and none
too encouraging tones.
There was none to answer. Sweet

had already shot the boat out of its

Sweetwater was startled. Looking
round. he saw launch. or some such
small steamer, riding at anchor not far
from the mouth of the bay. But that
was not all. Between it and them was
a rowboat like their own, resting quiet
ly in the wake of the moon.

Sixteen of the chicks proved to be
pullets which began to lay just before
they were seven months old The
month after they were eight months
old, that is, from January 4 to Febru-
airy 8, they laid 300 eggs. Five differ
ent days they laid IL eggs and one
day 49, Their feed consisted of bran,
shorts or shipstuff beef scrap, cut
bone, grit and oyster shells before
them all the time. Besides, they had
all the skim milk and warm water
they wanted to drink and opportunity
to thresh out all the cowpeas they
wished to eat. Just before going to
roost they and two cockrels were
given three medium sized ears of corn
each night.
No separate account was kept of the
food they ate, as they were fed out of
the same bins as the other IT'S fowls
on the place, all fed alike; but charg-
ing them the average cost for the
whole flock, the 25 eggs they laid cost
just two cents dozen in money laid
out. Even If charged for the corn
and cowpeas at the selling price in the
local market, ! could not possibly
make those pullets' eggs cost five
cents a dozen. The eggs sold in Jan
uary, cases and express charges out,
netted "a 1-3 cents a dozen. This easily
gave net profit of 20 cents dozen,
or S. profit for the month. From ex-
periences like this, l know there is
money in laying pullets and that feed
does not cost all their eggs are worth.

HOMEMADE cATARRH CURE.
Sufferers Should Make This Up and
Try 1t Anyway.

Any one can mix right at home the
best remedy of it's kind known. The
name Cyclone" is given to the fol-
lowing prescription, it is supposed, be-
cause of it's promptness in driving
from the blood and system every YES
tige of catarrhal poison, relieving this
foul and dread disease, no matter
where located. To prepare the mix
ture: Get from any good pharmacy
one half-ounce Fluid Extract Dande-
lion, one ounce Compound Kargon and
three ounces Compound Syrup Sarsa-
parilla. Shake well and use in tea
spoonful doses after each meal and at
bedtime.
This is a harmless, inexpensive mix
ture, which has peculiar action upon
the eliminative tissues of the Kidneys,
assisting them to filter and strain
from the blood and system all ca
tarrhal poisons, which, If not eradi-
Gated, are absorbed by the mucous
membrane, and an open sore or ca
tarrh is the result.
Prepare some and try it, as it is the
prescription of an eminent catarrh
specialist of national reputation.

SOME NEW FRENCH KNIGHTS.
Queen of Holland Has Agreed to Rec
ognixe Vatican Titles.

Among the lucrative sources of rev.
enue of the pope before the separa-
ton of church and state in France was
the toll or tax on titles of nobility
and decorations. Since the rupture
the French government no longer rec.
ognizes the ennobling titles and dec.
orations of the holy father. To have
the right to wear the Vatican ribbon,
or to be called count, it was necessary
to obtain confirmation of title. This
gave much perplexity to the candi-
dates.
The question has just been settled.
Queen Wilhelmina has consented to
validate such titles and distinctions.
The result has been an amusing pill
grimage to The Hague-and also in
an increase in the price of these pom
tifical favors.
In the last few weeks the French
Knights of the Golden Spur, of the
Holy Sepulcher, of Christ, Of Gregory
the Great, of Plus TX. have greatly in
