huddled audience, cursing the
soldiers, laughing gleefully in
the faces Of her stately, scorn-
full guests, greatly to the irritation of
Baron Dangloss, toward whom she
showed an especial attention.
Tullis was holding the prince in his
arms. Colonel QuinnoX stood before
them, keeping the babbling, leering
beldame from thrusting her face close
to that of the terrified boy The Count
ess Marlanx, pale and rigid, her Won
drous eyes glowing with excitement,
stood behind John Tullis.

thunder died away and the lightning
trickled off into faint flashes. The sky
cleared as if by magic. The exhibit
ton, if you please, was over!
''It is the most amazing thing I've
ever seen," Dangloss said over and
over again.
The Countess MarlanX was trem-

tried to laugh away her nervousness.
"Mere coincidence; that's ALL" he
said. You can't believe she brought

Ten minutes later the cavalcade
started down the rain swept road to-
ward the city, dry blankets having
been placed across the saddles occu-
pied by the ladies and the prince. The
witch stood in her doorway, laughing
gleefully, inviting them to come often.

young Count Vos Engo without so
much as a friendly wave of the hand
to him.
Vos Engo, being an officer in the roy
al guard, rode ahead by order of Colo
mel Quinnox. Truxton, therefore, had
her back in view-at rather vexing
distance. too-for mile after mile of
the ride to the city. He galloped along
beside the baron, prey to gloomy
considerations. What was the use?
He had no chance to win her. That
was for story books and plays. She

so unintelligible that even he could
not gainsay the statements Later
she bent her piercing eyes upon the
prince and refused to read his future,
shrilly asserting that she had not the
courage to tell what might befall the
little ruler, all the while muttering
something about the two little princes
who had died in a tower ages and ages
ago. Seeing that the boy was fright
ened, Tullis withdrew him to the back
ground. The Countess Marlanx came
next. She was smiling derisively.
You have returned from some one
whom you hate" began the witch.
He is your husband. You will marry
again. There is a fair haired man in
love with you. You are in love with
him. can see trouble
But the countess deliberately turned
away from the table, her cheeks fam
ing with the consciousness that a smile
had swept the circle behind her grace
full back.
"Ridiculousw she said and avoided
John Tullis' gaze. Il don't care to
hear any more. Come, baron! You are
next"
Truxton King subdued and troubled
in his mind, found himself studying
his surroundings and the people who
went so far to make them interesting.
His eye had fallen upon a crack in the
door that led to the kitchen, although
he had no means of knowing that it
was a kitchen To his amazement,
cleaning eye was looking out upon NE
room from beyond this narrow crack.
He looked long and found that he was
not mistaken. There was an eye glued
close to the opposite side of the rickety
door, and it's gaze was directed to the
Countess MarlanX.
Without pausing to consider the re-
suit of his action, he sprang across the
ROOM shouting as he did so that there
was a man behind the door. Grasping
the latch, he threw the door wide open,
the others in the room looking at him
as if he were suddenly crazed.
There was instant cOmmotion, with
cries and EXPLANATIONS from all. Quick
as the others were, the old woman
was at his side before them. snarling
with rage. Her talonlike fingers sunk
into his arm, and her gaze went dart
ing about the room in most convinc
ing way.
Baron Dangloss was convinced that
the young man had seen the eve. With
out conjunction he began search OF
the room, the old woman looking Oh

ment. Nothing special need be said of
treating chicks in this connection
more than is discussed elsewhere IN
der the topics of housing, food and
care.
Cleanliness.
The advice commonly given in poul-
try papers concerning cleanliness in
f1icts upon the poultry keeper more
labor than need be. 1t is all right for
the fancier. who sells his birds for
high prices and whose profits depend
largely upon the impression his plant
makes upon the visitor, to sweep the
floors of his chicken house with as
much care as the housewife does her
parlor. But the farmer and the utili-
ty poultry keeper cannot afford to in
crease their labor unnecessarily, for
the labor bill at best is the heaviest
item in poultry keeping.
There is a general notion prevalent
that filth causes disease This, strictly
speaking, is not correct, and lack of
cleanliness does not breed disease, al
though contagious diseases can be
checked by disinfectant, which, of
ness. Poultry if given dry whole
grain will have no opportunity to get
filth in their food and if the house is

are given off, there is no need Of re-
moving the droppings more than once
a month. In winter time they can be
allowed to accumulate for even longer
periods.
In mild climates where birds are on

Contagious Diseases.
Poultry suffers from numerous in
t1ividual diseases. such as bound crop,
bumblefoot. apoplexy. etc. Such dis
orders must be dealt with by the poul-
ryman when the occasion arises and
need give him no serious concern, as
the loss involved is of small conse-
/ luence.
Roup is the greatest scourge of the
poultry yard ranking as consumption
does among men. Roup. like human
