CHAPTER XIV.
The Par<i;e1 Hour

The PartlisJ Hour.
To Lieut.. Brant these proved days
81 bitterness. He had called twice
upon Hampton, both times finding the
wounded man propped up in bed, very
affable, properly grateful for services
rendered. yet avoiding all reference to
the one disturbing element between
them.
Once he had accidentally met Nadia,
but their brief conversation left him
more deeply mystified than ever, and
later she seemed to avoid him alto
gether. One day he deemed her but
an idle coquette; the next, warm
hearted woman, doing her duty brave
ly. Yet through it all her power over
him never slackened.
The end of this nervous strain came
in the form of an urgent dispatch re-
calling N troop to Fort Abraham Lin
coin by forced marches. The COM
mander felt no doubt as to the full
meaning of this message, and the SOL
der in him made prompt and joyful
response Brant had learned of the
consolidation of the hostile savages,
melted by Sitting Bull, into the fast
ness of the Big Horn range; he was
aware that Gen. Cook was already ad-
vancing northward from the Nebraska
line. Now he realized that he was to
be a part of this chosen fighting force
and his heart responded to the sum-
mons as to bugle call in battle.
Instantly the little camp was astir,
the men feeling the enthusiasm of
their officers. With preparations we'll
in hand, Brant's thoughts veered once
again toward Nadia. He rode down to
the Herndon house with grave face
and sober thought. He recalled long
the plainly furnished room into which
Mrs. Herndon ushered him to await
the girls appearance-the formal look
of the old-fashioned hair-cloth furni-
ture, the prim striped paper on the
walls, the green shades at the win
dows, the clean rag carpet on the floor.
The very stiffness chilled him, left
him i'll at ease. Then he heard the
rustic Of Naidas skirt and turned to
meet her She was pale from her
weeks of nursing, and agitated for fear
of what this unexpected call might
portend. Yet to his thought she ap-
peared calm, her manner restrained.
Nor could anything be kinder than her
first greeting, the frankly extended
hand, the words expressive OF well
come.
Mr.. Wynkoop Informed me q few
minutes ago that you had at last re-
ceiyed your orders for the north" she
said. her lips slightly trembling. Il
wondered If you would leave without
a word of farewell"
He bowed low Il do not under
stand how you could doubt, for have
shown my deep interest in you even
from the first. II have lately seemed
to avoid you, 1t has only been because
believed you wished it so.''
There was an embarrassing pause,
as though neither knew how to get
through the interview.

sos ton. But when the Union PACING
wants to Haul coal from Rock Springs
to Megeath, Neb., exactly as far from
Rock Springs as Carlinsville is from
Omaha, a rate Of $3.50 is demanded for
every ton hauled--more than twice as
much as the Wabash charges FOR the
same service.
The Union Pacific has taken the
method of placing in effect eXorbitaht
rates on coal in order that competitors
with its Union Pacific Coal Company
might be kept out of the field. Its
just like taking money from one pockest
and placing it in the other pocket, for
Union Pacific Coal Company to pay
freight rates to Union Pacific Railroad
company lis a general saying in coal
circles.

s;tarve|inu For Years.

Millions of men may live on baked
potatoes and restaurant smells with
out any particular privation But 1t
was different with young Richard
Mansfield He had been gently rear
ed. His mother adored him, and he
idolized his mother. She brought him
with her to Boston when he was boy
and put him In school. She took him
to various European countries and
artistic atmosphere. He played the
piano like an adept. He spoke several
languages. He painted well. He had
the key of admission to the politest
social circles. Yet because he was de-
termined to become an actor. and a
great actor, he was London starve-
ling for years and years, and nobody
ever heard him whiinper.
You may not like Richard Mans
field. Many persons who do not know
him dislike him. He seems to have
cultivated the art of making enemies
Of strangers to the ultimate limit. But
you must admire his nerve, his pluck,
his british bulldog tenaclty of pur-
pose. He was going to get there, and
he got there. After years and years he
got there-got SO far that Instead of
continuing to eat potatoes after using
them for pocket stoves he was living
In his own New York home by the time
he reached the age Of thlrty-fve and
eating in dining room furnished al
together with tables, chairs and side
boards from the royal palace at Yer
sailles.

Asbestos Horseshoes.

Asbestos horseshoes are an invention
of a Honolulu blacksmith. There has
long been a demand for such an ar
ticle, it is said. Visitors to the volcano
near Honolulu usually ride from the
volcano house down into the pit and
across to the Halemauman pit on
horses. But the heat underneath the
floor of Kilauea has been increasing to
such degree that the horses feet suf-
fer, hence the need Of non-heat con-
Quoting shoes.

How He "Made Good"

Mansfield came to America to re-
main permanently about twenty five
years ago. He had achieved fair sue
cess en- the London stage. He APP
peared here first in comic operas and
comedies and won considerable rep
utation. 1t was in his part of Prince
Karl, in the play written by A. G..
Gunter, who died only few months
ago, that Mansfield made good and
started fairly on the road to his great
reputation. But he had to struggle.
II am as determined rs the tides of
the ocean and as patient as the Cath
Ollie church." he once remarked when
adverse criticism was encountered.
Mansfeld's breakdown In his prime
is due to overwork. That determine
ton which has possessed him from tho
first las undermined his health. He
reached the private palace car and the
Versailles dining room furniture only
by the severest sort of labor-inces-
SAINT, nerve destroying, plugging toll
at the tasks he set for himself. Some
men may spend their summers i'll idle
ness. Mansfield used to retire to his
New London home and spend the
warm months studying furiously.
When he reached the rehearsals he
was always letter perfect. He knew
his lines. He knew his characters.
And they were such characters
Shakespeare's Schiller's, Moliere's,
Ibsen's and those of lesser tragedians
and comedians. Not only did he know
his characters, but he became them
for the time. When I play Richard

Richard Mansfield is practically an
American actor, and America is proud
to claim him. He was born, however,
on the little island of Helgoland fifty
years ago. His father was a British
army officer and his mother Russian
opera singer.

Doe. This Mean Your

The wise farmer usually carries
hammer IN his pocket.-American
Farmer.
Why, bless your heart, Mr.. Editor,
If you'll come out our way wen show
you some wise ca farmers-and some
who are not farmers-whO carry h
hammer in every pocket and one In
each fist. Yes, and they are indus
triously at work with these same
little hammers. Mending fences? Oh,
no! Simply putting people wise to
the conditions as they, the knockers,
see them.
If you are land buyer, they will
meet you at the train and steer you
away from this particular locality on
account of its poor soil, or that par
ticular place because Of shortage of
water, etc.
II you fly in the face of providence
and persist in investing, some species
of the genus knocker will call on you
before you get the 'setten'' room
carpet nailed down, to advise you
concerning your neighbors. He will
recount all the unwholesome tradi-
tions OF the place, exposing long
cherished family skeletons and going
into details concerning ''pasts" in the
lives of the people until you stand
perplexed, almost persuaded to offer
your holdings ut twenty cents on the
dollar. "Be good and you will be
lonesome" is the text which con-
stantly recurs for your contemplation.
If your courage survives and you
try something in the way of farming,
your effort prOvokes smile, and II
by any happy chance you achieve a
measure of success, 1t will be in spite
of universal predictions to the con-
trsry. If you are easily discouraged
you may become tinctured with this
germ of "innocuous desuetude," in
which event your efforts will gra-
dually slacken until crop Of the
weeds is your only asset at harvest
time.
Finally, when life's fitful fever Is
ended, and you have inherited that
eternal rest which is the reward Of
honest living, you are laid away-un-
less by some horrible chance you are
awakened out OF the trance to hear
some Interested knocker arguing with
your sorrowing wife how she might
have buried you cheaper and better
by sending to Montgomery Ward for
the coffin.

One of the most extensive bulletins
ever issued by the Colorado Expert
ment Station is now in press. The
bulletin Is prepared by our DIR. w. r.
Headden, and is IL study Of the di-
gestibility of Colorado hays, and will
he issued as Bulletin l2i. This bulle-
tin is really u continuation Of the
study which WAS begun some years
ago and which was issued as. Bulle-
tins 30 and 03, in 1897 and 1905. Those
did not give the comparison Of the
feeding values of hays. Many times
the results of feeding IRE different
from that indicated by the analyses.
This further study is more directly to
determine the digestive values Of the
various hays, and their relative feed
ing values. This hns been done by
feeding hays OF known composition,
and following the food through the
digestive tract. The work has invol-
we'd hundreds If not thousands OF all
alyses, and has been carried on for
years. The results will be of extreme
Importance to the chemical study Of
such material, and will lead to II bet
ter knowledge of folders and hays,
and the principles of feeding.
The bulletin itself Is not one which
will be expected to be popular, or
adapted for popular reading, as such
results must necessarily be in tech
meal form. a shorter bulletin with
out the analyses will be issued as No.
1875, and will be sent to tho entire
mailing list.

Feeding Values of Colorado Folders.

The question pertaining to the feed
ing values of hays and folders pre-
sent many difficulties, whose solution
is perplexing, whether attempted by
means of chemical analyses, or by
feeding experiments. In Colorado
we know that for the production Of
milk or flesh, we have no fodder that
approaches alfalfa in value. There
are other folders that are good, while
others are Indifferent or poor. The
attempt has been made to find means
to Judge the relative values of such
folders by determining their chcmi-
cal composition, but the results have
not agreed with feeding experiments.
The Colorado Experiment Station
presents the results of n study of a
number of folders In Bulletins 124
and 1875, in which DIR. Headden has
endeavorcd to discover the reasons
for such wide differences. The COM
position ofthe folders is given, and
he has presented the results of n
study of the same folders with the
object Of presenting the properties on
which its value depends.
The conclusions confirm the results
