SYNOPSIS.

At IA years of age Admiral Sir Peter
Hawkshaw's nephew. Richard Glyn. fell
deeply in love at first sight with Lady
tentions. The lad. orphan, was given
a berth as midshipman on the Ajax by
his uncle. Giles Vernon. nephew OF SIT
Thomas Vernon. became the boys pal.
They attended a theater where Hawk
shaw's nephew saw Lady Arabella. Yer
non met Philip Overton, next in line for
Sir Thomas Vernon's estate. They start
ed duel which was Interrupted. Vernon;
Overton and Hawkshaw's nephew found
themselves attracted by pretty Lady Ara
bella. The Ajax in battle defeated French
warships in the Mediterranean. Richard
Glyn got G2,OO0 prize money. He was
called home by Lady Hawkshaw as he
was about to blow in his earnings with
Vernon. At a Hawkshaw party Glyn dis
covered that Lady Arabella was a poor
but persistent gambler. He talked much
with her cousin Daphne. Lady Arabella
again showed love for gaming. Later she
held Glyn and Overton prisoners. thus
delaying the duel.

afternoon, with much uneasiness con-
corning my meeting and future inter
course with Lady Arabella; for | had
not seen her since the occurrence in

that boz on the ear she gave me, yet
no man can see a woman shamed be-
fore him without pain, and the antici-
patton of Lady Arabella's feelings
when she saw me troubled me. But
this was what actually happened when
we met. Lady Arabella was sitting in
the Chinese drawing room. her lap

dozen tops. Lady Hawkshaw had
left the room for a moment, and Ara.

she called measuring love-ribbon. This
performance never failed to throw
gentlemen into ecstasies. Daphne sat

raised his pistol and. taking deliberate
aim at the bird still singing in the
hedge, brought 1t down. 1t was mere

hat and bowed to the ground, and
Giles responded by taking off his hat

TURKEYS NEED
MUCH ATTENTION
Cures for Numerous Ills They
Are Subject To.

The poultry raiser who is fortunate
enough to have large area of ground
should not overlook the turkey as a
money maker. However, never keep
turkeys and hens together. There are
ailments which are almost harmless
to hens which prove fatal to turkeys.
In raising turkeys keep them free from
lice and do not overfeed them. In the
spring the turkeys need green food. in
sects or animal food and plenty of
fresh, cool water and good range. Do
not keep them shut up in houses, ex-
cept in winter and even then, except
when sleet falls or the weather is ex-
tremely severe, they must have plenty
of air. One of the most fatal diseases
to turkeys is blackhead. In some
places this disease has wiped out
whole focks.
Diarrhea is the most pronounced
symptom. This, however, sometimes
occurs from other intestinal disorders
and does not alone signify the pres
ence of the malady. The next symp-
tom is the dropping tail, followed by
a dropping of the wings, after which
death soon occurs. When the disease
is at its height the head assumes a
dark color, hence the name black

susceptible or they may be more deli
cate and cannot Withstand the inva-
sions of the parasites SO we'll. They
begin by moping and humping as If
they were cold. A blackening of the
head does not always occur.
The disease is caused by animal
parasites, which can be detected only
by the aid of a microscope. Clean food
given to fowls, as one bird with dis
ease will infect the feeding ground
of others. A sick bird should be
removed from the flock and placed in

Considerable American property was

NORTHWEST APPLES BEST.
Bring Higher Price Than Those From
Any Other State.


Any Other State.
Consul General Robert P. Skinner,
writing from Hamburg. Germany, de-
tails facts relating to the apple indus
try of this country as reflected in the
prices received there, and shows that
Oregon and Washington apples bring
more than those from any other states,
the scale being in comparison with the
California product as follows:
State Per l-bushel case
Oregon. Washington -. S2.6l@3.57
California ........... 1.60@Z.61
As to the possibilities of the exten.
sion Of the apple trade with Germany,
the report shows that in 1908 Germany
imported l64,42 tons of apples, Of
which the United States supplied only
10, SOC tons; in 1907 Germany import
ed lSl, 457 tons, the Unitel States
sending 9,229 tons.
Germany enforces rigidly inspection
for the San Jose scale, and this pest
has been found on number of ship
ments from the Pacific coast. Mr..
Skinner says, however, that as a rule
American apples reach Germany In
good condition. He urges that care be
exercised by all apple shippers to free
their orchards from scale and all other
pests, and then exercise constant super
vision of their employees to insure that
the fruit shall be packed 30 as to make
it pleasing to the eye as well as protect
it against bruising while being trans
ported.
Hamburg is the great apple receiv-
ing port. There, writes the consul,
honest and impartial rules of sale are
observed and the seller always receives
what is his due, the market regulations
and government inspection having been
developed in manner to make it GER
tain that always there shall be no
crooked work or unjust rejection Of
shipments.
German fruit buyers have for years
been sending their representatives to
America to look over orchards and
packing houses, and keep informed on
the conditions of the industry in all
important localities where considerable
quantities of fruit are produced. These
agents often 60 without making known
their identity, and thus obtain infor-
nation which might otherwise be
harder to secure.
The report ofConsul General Skinner
agrees with previous reports which
have been sent to the government from
abroad-that Pacific coast apples now
lead this country in all European
marts. 1t likewise emphasizes the
necessity of maintaining the present
high standard, in order that the high
prices now obtained may be main.

CROP A RECORD BREAKER.
Prospects in Pacific Northwest Never
Better Than Now.

Prospects in Pacific Northwest Never
Better Than Now.
According to information received
during the past week the Pacific
Northwest will produce almost four
times as many cars of potatoes as a
year ago.
This increase is startling, even
though the comparison with the pro-
duction of a year ago is not exactly a
correct showing, for the 1908 crop was
just about half of what was produced
the previous season.
During the present season the acre
age Of potatoes in the Pacific North
west, but more especially in Oregon,
shows the greatest increase for one
year ever noted here. While q large
per cent of this increase was in the
Willamette valley, most Of the addi-
tional acreage was planted in Eastern
Oregon.
Eastern Washington and Idaho like
wise have very heavy potato acreage
increase and the production there will
be much greater than during any pre-
vious year. Western Washington had
greater acreage of potatoes than a
year ago, but the difference in favor of
this season is not great so far as the
additional planting is concerned.
Potato crop prospects could scarcely
be improved over what they are in
Oregon, Washington and Idaho this
season, and the same is stated to be
the case in California. In Eastern
Oregon, where some Of the poorest
showings were made in grain produc-
tion this season. the crop of potatoes
never looked better.
In the Willamette valley, potatoes
will show better quality this year than
ever before and the sizes will be Just
that which gained for this section the
reputation of growing the very best
potatoes in the entire United States.
In seasons previous to the present
one, the potato acreage and production
of Eastern Oregon. Washington and
Idaho had little, il anything, to do
with prices at Portland or San Fran
cisco, but this season each of these
sections will be strong factor in the
market and unless all signs fail prices
will reach lower figure than for some
seasons.
Potato prices have been 20 high
along the Pacific coast in recent years
that the trade can scarcely come to
think that lower prices will again be
in effect. With such heavy increase
in acreage and a production so much
greater per acre than normal, the sup
plies will be fully as great as any de-
mand would justify, and that being
the case, present out Of line values will

COloNiST RATES AGAIN.

Railroads to Give Reduced Fares to
Pacific Coast This Fall.
Chicago. July 27.-Colonists' fares
to the Pacific coast which have been
under consideration at the rate meeting
Of the Transcontinental Passenger as
sociation for several days, will be made
this fall at the same rates as hereto
fore, s33 from Chicago, s32 from st.
Louis and $25 from the Missouri river
to California and North Pacific states.
Their availability will be reduced,
however. from the usual go days to q
month, from September Is to October
Is.
This was decided upon because the
heaviest movement has been found dur
ing the first and last ten days of that
period. About 1000 people are ex-
pected to take advantage of the rates,
which are for single trips.
