He was put in this superb condi-

Kindness an Asset.

Sheep and other nervous animals
which are being fattened for market
should be kept as quiet as possible or
their feed will not do them the most
good. The more you handle all the

Hog Wisdom.

Prepare warm. dry, but venti-
lated quarters for the brood
sows and do 1t now. Cold
storms will be here before we
are ready for them.
Every hog raiser should own a
dipping plant. 1t keeps away
lice and disease too. One good.
big dead hog will pay for a dip
ping plant nowadays.
Young sows TO be bred this
winter should not be placed
with fattening hsgs, but kept in
separate lot or pasture.
Fall pigs after weaving should
be given good feed to keep them
growing when cold weather sets
in. Pumpkins will be a good
feed for pigs in early winter.
Feed them shorts daily in their
slop while they are growing.

well, sub, that's what we did, and
the instant l clapped eyes on him
knew it was Risdale all right, although
he was thinner and sallower and more
stoop-shouldered; yet there was no
mistaking the mans profile, his aquil-
inc features, his quick nervous walk,
and his extreme height-at least six
feet three or four.
But what, l asked myself, was he
doing in Jamaica? And why? Where
was the money? Why the assumed

the loot, as we'll as to nab the crlml'

ton and the reputation of Bullivants

mystery-for that there was a mys-

of John Risdale out of the ordinary

Swallowed Mr.. Oliver Hazard. AS in
New York he was a pattern of method
and regularity-never left his lodgings
at night, was always on time to the
tick in the morning, and apparently
enjoyed the trust and esteem OF his
new employers.
Il found he had been in Kingston for
over a year; that he had applied for
his present job without credentials,
and had been taken on sufferance and
with some slight suspicion. But ap-
parently all this had vanished, and
Bullock & Bullock now trusted him
implicitly. The more learned about
Hazard and the more l studied
him, now near at hand, then from a
safer distance, the more my pet pri-
vate theory was strengthened. For
some days l debated how l should put
it to the test, finally deciding upon a
sudden surprise.

Mr.. Gustav Himmelreich, Hochheim,

For a number Of years suffered

Last year, however, I suffered for
eight months without interruption so

sciously knew no more than did
where that hundred thousand dollars
had vanished to. The kindest thing, l
felt, would be to get him home to his
wife and little Lois; indeed, wild
horses wouldn't have kept him away
once we landed SO saw him safely
in their arms, enjoining him not to
stir out until he saw me again, and
then came down here to think and
piece things out in some sort of logical
order.

out of his head with business worry

of money and walked out of the bank,
dropping his real identity the instant
he got outside.
This was all pure theory, you un-
derstand, yet it was afterward borne
out by actual happenings. But that
didn't bring me any nearer that hun.
dred thousand dollars; Risdale's mind
was a complete blank and no taking.
So after spending half the night in the
quiet of this very Office l evolved a
plan and a test which believed would
at once prove the paying-teller of the
Borough National to be an honest man
and lead to the recovery of the miss
ing money. But first had to inter-
view the bank officers and gain their
consent to try my scheme. My idea,
you see, was to reproduce for Risdale
the actual conditions and surroundings
of the day when he disappeared with
the money and then see whether his
subconscious mental processes would
lead him along the same lines.

About the Wedding Ring.

The wedding ring, which was toler-
ated by the Methodists, was ana.
thema to the early Puritans, who re.
garded personal adornment as one of
the many snares of Satan. Wesley,
who was a high churchman, probably
recognized its symbolical value. In
the old English marriage service it
was the custom for the bridegroom to
put the ring on the thumb of his
bride, saying: lin the name of the
Father" then on the first finger, say
ing, land the Son." then on the sec.
ond finger, saying, land of the Holy
Ghost" finally on the third finger.
with the word Amen" The ring was
left there because, as the Sarum rub.
ric says: "A vein proceeds thence to
the heart" In the modern marriage
service the ring is placed at once
upon the third finger, the invocation
to the Trinity being understood.

had carefully coached Risdale as to
the part he was to play:
Precisely at quarter Of ten ne pre-
