one might have tossed biscuit aboart
of her. The sputter Of the craft along
side was now punctuated by volley
Of curses.
The police launch sheered of. ant
the sound Of her exhaust grew rapidly
fainter and fainter. But not until l,
had wholly ceased did Big George give
over his post at the wheel. Even then
he went down the ladder reluctantly
and without word of thanks, Of ex
planation or Of apology. With hin
this had been but a part Of the days
work. He saw neither sentiment mol
humor in the episode.
From the crows nest of the Bedford
Castle q week later the lookout stared
down upon white expanse that
stretched beyond the horizon. At dawn
they began their careful search, feeling
their way eastward through the open
lanes and tortuous passages that sep
arated the foes. now laying to for the
northward set Of the fields to clear a
path before them, now stealing through
some narrow lead that opened into
freer waters.
Captain Peasley did all the navigat.
ing in person, but eventually they were
hemmed in so closely that for day
and night they could do nothing but
drift with the pack. In time, how
ever, the winds opened crevice
through which they retreated to follow
the outer limits farther eastward un
til they were baked again.
Late one evening they discerned
smoke ON the horizon, and the next
mornings light showed a three masted

To Cherry Malotte this had been a

ncr had lost the restraint and GOODNESS
which recently had disturbed their re-

environment had thrown them much
together, and their companionship had
been most pleasant.
Two days after sighting the Juliet
they raised another ship. one Of the
sailing fleet which they knew to be
lowering In the offing. and then on the
9Th Of the month the capriclous cur
rent opened way for them. Slowly
at first they pushed on between the
foes into vast area Of slush Ice,
thence to a stretch as open and placid
as country mill pond. The lookout
pointed a path out Of this, into which
they steamed. coming at length to
clear water. with the low shores OF
the mainland twenty miles away.
At sundown they anchored in the
wide estuary of the Kalvlk river, the
Loisy rumble of their chains breaking

boat was entering the lock.
Now we are locked in" said Uncle
Frank.
Sure enough they were. There were
gates in front. gates behind, and the
banks on each side built up with
stonework.
"See that big white stone" said
Uncle Frank, pointing out one by the
upper gates. "Now see the water reach

The gateman opened two small, slid
ing doors in the great front gate, and
the water from above rushed In. The
water rose In the lock, and OF course
the boat went up too. The water just
reached the white stone.
They were upstairs now, and there
was nothing more to do but to wait
until the big gates were opened and
then to sail out.
He watched carefully and then gave
great shout Of delight when they
were safely out.
"Is this the only lock?' Peterkin
asked.
YES" said his uncle, "the only lock.

Peterkin listened very attentively,
and when he had thought 1t all out he
asked, "And we shall have to sail out

Boyd turned and beheld the body Of
man stretched face downward on
the floor. Beyond the fellow in the
gray suit was disappearing into the
crowd. Then he saw gleam Of blue

The DuaI.Purpose Animal.

All breeds Of cows or horses have ad
mirers, who point with pride to record,
made by their favorites. Every breed
aud type has its special good qualities
and peculiar weaknesses, and no one OF
them Is best adapted to all localities, or
TO all branches of dairying.
Whatever breed may be chosen for the
dairy or for any other purpose, the in
dividual animals should be good of theil
kind. emphasize the word good, be
cause ON that depends the future OF
dairying.
OF course, a good pure-bred animal Is
the best, but a poor specimen of any
breed, no matter If its pedigree is al
long as Brooklyn bridge and written
with gold letters, Is worth less than
good scrub.
Just what breed man should keep
for dairying is not for you and me u
say, but for the man who is going to
buy. Why? Because he knows the loca
ton, the character Of the pastures, the
care that will be given to the herd and
whether the product to be marketed is
milk, butter or cheese. More than this
he has, as every farmer should, par
ticular breed, a certain type OF thai
breed that fills his eye.
II he gets what he wants, what be
thinks is best adapted to his conditions.
he settles down to make those cows dc
something; he looks after all their
wants. In fact, they become q part OF
his life. He talks about them at every
opportunity, and when people won't
listen to him, he goes to the tie-up and
talks to them.
| Though many attempts have been
made to develop breed Of cattle, profit
able for both beef and milk, success along
this line has not been reached; aud as it
seems more than ever probable that such
breed will never be developed, 1t IL
wise for dairyman to stick to the true
dairy type.
| In this state as everywhere else, the
grade COWS are of higher standard
than the average pure-blood, because thu
man raising grades does not keep cali
unless it is a good specimen of it's kind,
while breeders of pure-blooded stock
can find some amateur dairyman to buy
their poor stuff, on the records OF iti
ancestry.
The Jersey, although small pro-
ducer, is generally of high butter-fas
test, and being an economic producer, Is
a great favorite among butter makers
and creamery patrons.
The Holsteins are noted for their larg
or milk production, but on account OF
low butter-fat test are most popular
among milk men.
Among the butter making breeds, w
find Gueruseys, Ayrshires, etc. Those
| 10 this state who are trying to make the
beef industry flourish, find the Here
| ford, Shorthorn and Devon very adapt
able to this climate, and inclined to take
on flesh under fair conditions.
