CHAPTER III (Continued).

"COnfide in me-! Inc American
voice is commanding. IF you don't l
am compelled to tell your husband of
this letter We can't let you tear your
self into nervous flinders and not
know how to aid you" To this he
adds, hoping by flippancy to tighten
her heart: Edwin will soon make
those pretty lips speak"

cries hoarsely. Il cannot-I will not

happiness. 1t is worse than If they
killed me as they will some day They

before | die"
Barnes thinks how his own imme
date wedding to Enid Anstruther has
been subtly thwarted by the letter he
carries in his pocketbook which he
guesses came from the same man. He
now knows that his love for his aft
anced Is being assaulted as we'll as the
honeymoon happiness of these two
just mated.
For the sake Of all Of us you must
speak," he commands.
The answer of the Corsican bride
mystifies the American more than
ever. She says nobly, yet doggedly:
For the sake of my husband, | am
silent"
"Then you compel me to tell Edwin
of the letter." he says shortly.
AS Barnes speaks, the bridegroom
enters and woman's tact destroys his
opportunity.
She throws herself enthusiastically
but coquettshly into the arms opening
for her and cries, half playfully. half
tearily: Edwin, in the railroad de-
pot received note that produced my
nervous agitation Mr.. Barnes thinks
it wise | tell you its contents. l don't.
Now, of course, if you say so, l must
do as you tell me. l am an obedient

round Edwins neck and whispers.

bluntness: You and Enid didn't hunt

enterprising a fellow as thought you,
Barnes, for l am quite certain that

At this, Marina utters q subdued yet
CHASTITY sigh. which is destroyed by
the kiss of her young husband. and the
unfortunate Burton goes silently away

The Knights Of Columbus.
Sunday the local Council Knights
of Columbus had the pleasure Of
entertaining several hundred
guests.
It Was tho occasion Of tho init.
alton u sixty-seven new members
into the secrets of the order, and
occasion was taken of this event
to mako the ceremony grand and

The church was beautifully de-
corated by the Sisters of Mercy

the Church the most imposing.
At half past eight o'clock after

at Duchamp's hall by the ladies'
of the town, who had made of this

Occasionally animals after being

usually the soreness of the parts is

Good Way 20 Test.

Is any butter fat getting away from
you? The daily loss may be small,
but in the aggregate it amounts to a
goodly sum. A test of .01 of one per
cent. fat in skim milk contains .01 OF
a pound Of fat. In 200 pounds OF
skim milk this amounts to .02 pounds
of fat, and If butter fat is worth 80
cents per pound. .02 multiplied by 80
cents gives 6 of cent, which is ap
proximately the value of the fat lost
from 200 pounds Of skim milk when
the test Of the skim milk is .01 per
cent. In 1000 pounds it would amount
to six cents, and in 10000 pounds 80
cents. If the loss per day is 6 cent,
then the loss per year may be found
by multiplying g cent by the number
of days in the year. AS rule, the
test of the skim milk Is about the
same. regardless of the test Of the
