behind. where Il was Lost 9 their
sight forever.
There was Simultaneous exclamar
ton Of horror, q simultaneous rush
forward on the part Of the two unhap-
py mummers, as this browning catas-
trophe reduced their capital to three
pence-half-penny.
"Joe, I've done IT," groaned the
heavy man, miserably, scarcely daring
to meet the others eyes. "And II
you were to kick me-hard-T
wouldn't say a word. If it will re-
lieve your feelings, Joe"
Joe's cheerfulness came to the res
cue. He laughed, rather half-heart-
eddy, but perhaps it was to his credit
that he could laugh at all. The
heavy man did not laugh. Goaded to
evaporation by this final blow Of fate,
he suddenly raised his arm with an
impressive melodramatic solemnity
and called down from the heavens
whitening maledictions on Lewishani
We're, the absconding manager, and
the original source Of all their woes.
1t was a creditable performance; It
embodied tags of all the great historic
courses" of the entire range Of the
Legitimate DRAMA and all touched
on Lewisham Vere's perfidy with a
completeness and finish that would
have left an onlooker with the feeling
that this was absolutely the last word
on the subject-that nothing more
could be said.
Montague paused, though merely to
take breath, but the comedian took
advantage of the lull to haul down
the dramatically extended arm.
you'll feel better now you've got
that off your chest, Monty, but I
should let it go at that" Grisson said,
soothingly. For one thing, there's
some one coming. l don't know that
his opinion of our sanity matters par
ticularly; only-well, you catch my
meaning?"
AS it happened, the man who had
just appeared in sight was Jack La
thom.

CHAPTER XVI.
The Man They Met.

Jack Lathom's long, swinging stride
had come to an abrupt stop with an
instructive caution as he turned out
of the lane that led into the high road
to see the two men standing where
the road forked. The knowledge that,
after his escape on the previous
night the police would be hunting
the countryside for him was enough
to make him suspicious of every
strange face he met.
He had been persuaded, almost in
spite of himself. by Freddy Thornton,
and later by Hilda, to take advantage
of the opportunity of escape that cir
cumstances had flung in his way. The
week he had passed in prison between
the time of his arrest and the magis.
trates' inquiry made him realize now
how sweet thing liberty was, and he
had no intention of being recaptured
if he could help it.
But his first glance at the two dis
consulate actors treasured him.
Where he stood he could hear frag-
ments of the terrific stage curses that
the man in the dilapidated fur coat
was calling down as from the heavens
on Lewisham Vere's head, before the
shorter man, espying the presence on
the scene of third person, took the
opportunity of Monty's pausing for
breath to interrupt the more rotundo
periods Of fnvective and to pull down
the dramatically outflung arm. 1t
struck Lathom that they were proba.
bly, strolling players, and that he had
nothing to fear from them.
Besides, nearly the width of York.
shire divided him from Wildfell, and
as yet all that had appeared in the
morning papers was a brief account
of his escape in the accident to the
cab. The description given of the es
capped prisoner might have applied
equally we'll to five out of every ten
we'll built young Englishmen OF
breeding picked out at random in the
streets of any town.

The ends and sides of the mold may
be removed after twenty-four hours,
but the posts should not be handled
for at least one week, during which
time they must be sprinkled several
times daily and protected from the
sun and wind. The intermediate
strips may be carefully withdrawn at
the end of two or three days, but it
is better to leave them in place until
the posts are removed. Although a
post may be hard and apparently
strong when one week old, it will not
attain it's full strength in that time,
and must be handled with tie utmost
care to prevent injury. Carelessness
in handling green posts frequently re.
suits in the formation of fine cracks,
which, though unnoticed at the. time,
give evidence of their presence later
in the failure of the post.

It would not seem that a law
against the sale Of rotten eggs would
be necessary in these days, but Penn
sylvania seems to think one expedi-

there is a large trade in "rots'' and
"spots"-spoiled, cracked and dirty
eggs-and a bill has been offered in
the Pennsylvania legislature to make
their sale and use crime. "Rots'
and spots are bought by whole
