CHAPTER Xxx.

As soon as Denzilia was fairly on the
way to recovery Mrs. Matthieson began
to make plans for her own departure.
She was anxious to get her son away
from neighborhood where he could only
uselessly torment himself with false
hopes. AT least this was how she put it.
But perhaps there lurked in her mind a
fear of the potency of Miss Vanbrugh's
charms. For she, although she. had been
willing that he should marry Miss Law
enham, was by no means sure that she
wished him to marry Miss Vanbrugh.
That was quite another thing. She
would prefer quiet English girl of his
own class She was not sure that she
liked Miss Vanbrugh. The Duke, how
ever, made no protest when his mother
proposed to drag hi2 away from Ter.
matt. On the contrary, he acquiesced
with readiness which Agnes said must
portend mischief. In very truth the
young man was ashamed to find how
much pleasure he took in Miss Van
brugh's society. He felt it was not al
together consistent with the passion he
had professed to feel, and indeed had
felt, for Miss Lavenham. He was, there
fore, for the first time in his life, willing
to fly.
When the project of speedy depart.
ure was preached to Montresor. he at
once announced his intention of remain.
ing in Switzerland. He offered no ex
planati of this resolve; he did not saw
whether he would remain at Zermatt or
60 on further. He merely said very de-
cidedly that he was not going to return
to England at present.
On the evening before the Dukes
party, which still included Langrishe,
left for England, Denzilia and Agnes had
a long and confidential conversation. 1t
was from Agnes own lips that Denzilia
first heard of Agnes engagement. Her
congratulations were very warm and sin
eere.
ITO Be ContinuedO
Wauwatosa news. [volume] (Wauwatosa, Wis.) 1900-1948, 1910-04-22

The only one of the party who main
tanned a stoical silence was M0ntresor.
During those days he moved about in
the sight of his fellow men like a morose
deaf mute, but he never mentioned Den
ELIAS name. The American girl took
him in with her bright eyes, and from
time to time, when she happened TO see
him alone, she would utter seemingly
casual word of encouragement. For Miss
Nanbrugh made up her mind from the
first that Denzilia would recover. Her
Representation proved correct
On the fourth day the doctor pro-
nounced that his patient was going to
live. On the fifth the doctor who had
arrived from England gave it as his
opinion that the injury to the spine was
not OF permanent nature. She would
have TO be very careful and consent to
be an invalid for months perhaps, but
she would, without doubt, ultimately re-
cover.
The day that these glad tidings were
made known was one of rejoicing to
every one in the hotel For Denzilia's
beauty and certain winning way had
won all hearts.
Only Montresor uttered no more than
when the news was conveyed to him, and
that in a constrained voice. Immediate
ly afterwards he abruptly quilted the
room, and was seen no more that day.
AS for Miss Vanbrugh, when she once
knew her friend to be out of danger her
spirits rose to height that rather as
tonished Mrs. Matthieson.
She marked the Duke for her own at
once, and though he remained faithful
to Denzilia in a manner his friends were
not accustomed to see him do, he yet
confessed that he found Miss Vanbrugh
very good company, and manifestly took
pleasure in her gay spirits and her subtle
batteries. She told him frankly that,
although she was loyal American, and
despised titles Of all kinds, yet it had
always been her ambition to meet with
a real live duke. She did not consider
that he was nearly sufficiently dignified
for his position. She begged him to in
vite her to come and stay with him at
his ancestral halls and to invite some
more dukes of more typical character
to meet her.
Miss Vanbrugh used to report these
conversations to Denzilia as she lay on
the sofa, but Denzilia was not interest
ed in the Duke. She desired only to
hear of Montresor. And of Montresor
Miss Vanbrugh was not so ready to
speak.
"He is very tiresome young man."
she would say mischievously. you
would have done much better to marry
the Duke. Mr.. Montresor has no inten-
tion of marrying you. He never so much
as asks after you. Whereas I am be-
sieged by inquiries about you from every
one else in the hotel the moment I put
my foot into the corridor. As for poor
Heterogeneous, he nearly wept when I
told him that you would soon be able to
be carried out into the garden"

The weather warnings are particul.

In regard to the method employed to
protect the fruit one of the experts
OF the weather bureau says:
Beginning with the fall of the year
fruit is spread upon trays for sun dry
Ing and curing. In September in
nearly all of the valleys Of California
large quantities of grapes are spread
upon trays and exposed to the sun

there is much open cotton In the

cotton before the storm arrived saved
1t from being blown out OF the hollis
and soiled by the rain and mud.
The flood warnings are said to have
reached wonderful degree Of accur-
acy. The warnings are usually issu'
ed SO far in advance OF the arrival Of

and other interests derive immense
benefit from them.

Weather Reports to the Rural
Residents OF Most Importance

about two hours for transmission and
ON the preparation of the charts. The
morning forecast covers the period
ending at p. M. Of the following day.
Next in importance are the special
warnings, which are constantly being
heralded throughout the country tell
ing of the approach of some unexpect-
ed change in the weather, which If it
caught the farmer or stock raiser ur.
awares. would prove most costly.
These warnings are usually issued
from twenty-four to thirty-six hours
in advance, though flood warnings for
important cities near the lower cours-
es of the larger waters are sometimes
issued a week or more in advance.
Every possible means is taken to
distribute the forecasts as promptly
and as widely as possible. They are
first telegraphed to about 1900 prin-
c!pal distributing points, from where
they are further disseminated by tele-
graph, telephone, and mail. In the
case of mail the bureau has at its
command, post cards, rural free de-
livery slips, weather maps and daily
newspapers.
Principally for the purpose of re-
ceiving weather warnings at the earl.
lest possible moment many agricultur-
lists have installed telephones in
their homes. Last year there were
more than 1000 telephone companies
cooperating with the weather bureau
in the distribution of the weather
forecasts.
The special warnings Of the bureau
have played prominent part in
building up the orange groves in Flor
ida. and in the planting of other crops
, in that far southern territory. In
Florida and various other states the
railways make a very effective distri-
button of cold wave warnings by
sounding four long blasts from the en-
CINE. This whistle signal thus gives
prompt warning to the farmers sever
al miles distant from the railroad
that cold wave is on its way. Often
steamers on rivers display cold wave
flags with great advantage to farmers
living near the streams.
Among the other important informa.
ton heralded by the weather bureau
is the Cotton Region Bulletin which

81 SIDNEY EsPEY.

Washington, Sept. 24.-To the av.
erage urban resident the daily wealth
er forecasts mean very little except
to those who are susceptible to colds
and generally read the forecasts to
determine whether or not it will be
necessary to wear rubbers or take
their umbrellas with them. But to the
rural residents these forecasts mean
much, and as matter OF fact are
really intended for them.
OF course, 1t Is a common saying
almost everywhere, that the weather
bureau is always wrong, and IL 1t
predicts sunshine you can, count on it
raining or showing. but as a matter OF
fact these criticisms are more for jest
than anything else. and IL the truth
were known the socalled wise-acres
OF the rural districts follow the fore
casts with implicit confidence. These
wise-ones have too often profited from
the special storm warnings issued by
the weather bureau by taking time
by the forelock and saving crops or
stock which would otherwise have
been ruined, not to place credence
in the weather bureau bulletins and
forecasts. p.
Although the weather bureau has
various functions to perform. from
measuring rainfall and humidity to
recording earthquakes thousands OF
miles away, by far its most important
work is the issuance of the daily fore
casts of the weather for every state

ings of storm or hurricans, of frost

floods whenever circumstances war
