She could not meet you Mr. Peck,

That's what I'm waiting for--the

Miss Carter leaped at once, with
much yiyacity, into a justification
Of herself and her friend.

"is Reoll's father. He is an unscru-
pulous person, and poor Roola has

unsatisfactory state?"
Rufus was terribly disappointed.
Is that square deal, maam?'
NE asked
1t was the best We could do
in the circumstances.
There was finality here, as well
as a vague suggestion of apology.
Rufus fell silent for a space. Who
was this lady with the reminiscent
voice? His mind evolved an artful
idea.
I'D be glad to flag a waiter and
order up another dish of cold re-
freshments," he remarked. Are you
indulging?"
You are very kind said the
lady, but should prefer coffee

The light lunch arrived, and Ru-
fus watched his companion eagerly.
A low laugh came from behind the
veil.

CHAPTER TX.
The Yelled Lady.

Rufus pat in the afternoon at
Central Park After leaving George
Augustus he went back to the room
and armed himself deferring TO
police regulations in a measure, by
sequestering upon his person only
one of the two revolvers. He blush
cd 10 think that he was to meet
lady so equipped but salNc his
conscience with counterthoughts Of
the Spanish ambassador, the stout
gentleman, and others OF the lady's
friends.
Rufus descended upon the park
by way OF the lake and the swan
boats. Following a tame navigation
of the placid pond, he rambled al
will, marking the flight of time as
recorded, more or less accurately,
on the face of his silver watch He
found the menagerie and the mon
key house, and ultimately he rested
in the Casino.
His tight, high-heeled boots were
constructed for riding rather than
for walking, and he was glad of
the opportunity to rest his feet. II

Peck" said the lady.
Rufus dropped his spoon. The veil
was impenetrable, but there was
something familiar about the voice.
What is that to you, ma'am?"
inquired Rufus, reproachfully.
You were to be at the obelisk

For the Home Nurse.

we'll as in word. Be quiet and
firm, and able to exert authority.
Be ever on the alert to antici-
pate a patients wants, but with

irritating to a nervous person.
A wise nurse will not deceive

so; but say that you will be as

Cheerfulness is better than

Cruelty in Shipping Poultry.

A bill has been introduced in
Congress giving the Interstate
Commerce Commission the right
to devise rules governing poultry
shipments. The bill stipulates
that live poultry shall not be
overcrowded in shipment, that
the coops or cages shall be of
such size as to permit the birds
to stand upright; that provision
must be made for adequate ven
tilation in shipping coops and in
the cars; and that the poultry
shall have food and water at
least once every twenty-four
hours. A penalty of from 500
to $500 is affixed for violating
these regulations, or such other
regulations as the Commission
may adopt. This is a good bill
and ought to become a law at
once.

cestry got very few chestnut
colts from chestnut mare, and
many of these bay stations got
only bay colts from chestnut
mares. This indicates that the
bay color is dominant over the
chestnut or surppresses it. 1t
was further found that bay stall
lions having both bay and chest
nut in their immediate parent
age got both bay and chestnut
foals in about equal numbers
from chestnut mares. The 702
foals from II such stations were
found to include 1886 bays 347
chestnuts, or practically so per
cent. of each. This is in accor-
dance with Mendel's law Of the
transmission of dominant and re-
cessive characters, and indicates
that probably the bay and chest
nut colors in horses are on the
average transmitted in about
these proportions wit respect to

Feed the Pig EARLY.

The general tendency is to let
the pigs get along on whatever
may be at hand until "fattening
time" and then invest either
purchased or homegrown grain
which has a cash value in the
finishing process. This practice
should be very nearly reversed.
The young pig has a very limited
capacity for utilizing bulky or
coarse vegetable wastes. Careful
experiments have been made at a
number of our stations to deter
mine the relative efficiency of
various available feeds as growth
producers for the pig. There is
every basis for the assertion that
the young pig should have the
benefit of purchased concentrate
ed food if milk is not available.
He will pay more for what he
eats in the first four months than
in the second four, or during any
succeeding period of equal length.

Arrested For Printing Cartoon.

Because he printed in his paper,
the Memphis Herald, a cartoon
on the political disturbances in
congress, which was declared by
authorities to be obscene and in
decent, and attempted to circu-
late it through the mails, A l..
Rowe, its editor, has been ar
rested. Mr.. Rowe is indignant.
He says he has been misjudged
and misinterpreted. The cartoon
was on the front page and dwelt
en- the situation between the In
surgents and the Republicans in
congress. The former were rep
resented as a bull, an indicative
of Congressman Ernest Bullock,
of Jackson, Miss, while the reg
ulars were pictured as the usual
elephant. All the papers which
came to the post-ofice were sup
pressed and the editors arrest
followed.
