To the Rescue.

AS soon as Norman Forde had fin

label, Aksakoff took it and withdrew,
leaving him alone.
He had concentrated his whole mind
on the writing of this letter, steadily
thrusting back the questions that Ak
sakoff's revelations had evoked until
it was completed, and only determined
to compass the sending of message
of love and hope and confidence 70
Christabel. He was still too much in
the dark to do more at the moment.
But now that he was alone these ques.
lions thronged upon him.
First and most importunate was the
question of Christabels deliverance.
1t seemed to him that all he had to do
was to put the case before the British
consul, who, in his turn, wuld bring
it under the notice of the proper au-
thorities. and Christabel would be set
free at once. Like most Englishmen
who have not Travelled much, he sad
the traditional belief in the power. and
in the disposition to use it, of British
consuls, but his recent experience had

Illustrations of this particular kind Of
tattening apparatus were frequently
seen." With the same purpose in
view we pass it along. If it does not
prove suggestive, it will at least prove
interesting.
The apparatus is designed for the
special fattening of poultry, and is de-
vised to save time and labor of the at
tendant, and to accommodate as many
birds as possible in small space. The
cage for the birds revolves, and the
platform for the attendant can be
moved up and down.

CHANGE IN ENGLISH RACING.
Flat Races Will Give Place to steeple.
chasing and Hurdles.

chasing and Hurdles.
There has been a great change in
the character of English racing in the
las; fifty years. Away back in 1888
thele were held in the United King
com SO race meetings. OF these SO
iaye been entirely abandoned. In
1915 there were 1873 meetings held, of
" hicl, 50 are now abandoned.
At the present time, says Bailey's
Magazine, we have % fiat race meet
;n:s. that is. those held exclusively
Under Jockey club rules, and 1855
steerlechsse meetings under the rules
Of the National Hunt committee.
The immense increase of steeple.
chase meetings and the abandonment
OF many old fashiond flat racing meet
ings. which often combined jumping
races. is accounted for in great
measure by the rule that no meeting
should be permitted that did not give
$500 day in prizes, and that no flat
race should be of less value than G1OO
to the winner.
This rule has been the deathblow to
country meetings of the old style, and
they have in great measure been re.
placed by hunt steeplechase meetings.
SO that now we find that the arenas
for steeplechasing and hurdle racing
far outnumber those of fiat racing,
and that many of our finest agricul.
tural and old sporting counties have
not single fiat race meeting held
in them, while in others there are only
one or two Of them.
