SCIENCE IN KEEPING EGGS
BY New Process Shells Are First Dlsin.
fected and Then Immersed In
Paraffin Wax Vacuum.

Science seems to be making an &C
tive inroad on prejudice and Ignorance
and even the man who has been fight
ing book farming is willing to con
fess that great strides have been made
along certain lines that have been
beneficial to his own interests. The
latest we have had up to the present
in the preservation of eggs and the
prolonging Of their edible qualities has
been by the water glass system, which
is quite generally known. Now comes
scientist who claim method that
will even up the egg business at a
wonderful rate. The shells by the
new process are first disinfected and
then immersed In a vessel of paraffin
wax in vacuum. The air In the shell
is extracted by the vacuum, and atmo-
spheric pressure is then allowed to
enter the vessel, when the hot wax
is forced into the pores" of the she'll
which thus hermetically seals It.
Evaporation of the contents of the
egg, which has a harmful effect, is
thereby prevented, and the egg is
practically sterile. - Register and

the army fell on Shendi and demol-

two figures, Wilfrid Stennis and

her head was pillowed on his shoul-

Two sentences are all we need to over
hear of their murmured conversation:
"Eunice means happy victory you
know" the girl was saying. 1T has
certainly proved so for u.s. Don't you
think so, Wilf?"
He pressed her closer to him for
answer, and then with his free hand
he pointed to the dying day, saying:
t"At evening time it shall be light"

CHAPTER x.-continued.

He found Eunice in the old parlor
but not alone. John Trevecca was
now confined to the house, and only
ventured out on very fine days. The
girl was bending over him. arranging
his pillows, as Stennis was announced
With a little cry of astonishment she
Strengthened up at the sight of him,
and after slight hand-clasp stood
idly by while Wilf-once more, it
seemed, the kindly, simple Wifi of
oid-sat down by the side of the sick
man and strove to cheer him up.
But something told Eunice it was
not for this or for merely friendly
call that he had come.
"Eunice," he said at length, rising
and standing before her, Il have
brought you some wonderful news.
There has been dreadful mistake,
and for these three years past have
been occupying the place that is right
fully yours"
The girl stared at him with af-
frighted, wide-open eyes.
Don't be alarmed" said Wilfrid
reassuringly. Its nothing to be
afraid of. l only learned the truth an
hour ago, and l wanted to be the first
to tell you. 1t seems that you are
the daughter of my Uncle Andrew
we are first cousins, you see-whom
he believed to be dead, and all his
money belongs by right to you. 1t is
what he would have wished-if he
had known that he had a daughter
he would never have thought of me,
you know. So from this mo-
ment | retire in your favor. The law
yers will tell you all about it, and 1
shall instruct them to turn everything
over to you. l believe that's all
came to say, Eunice. Good-by"
He took her hand in farewell, which
before she could detain him by look
or word he was gone. She took one
step in his direction, her arms out
stretched in a gesture of great yearn-
ing, uttered one heart-cry, wifi"
and then fell to the floor in a dead
life before, nor has since.
Then followed for few days a per-
feet whirl of excitement, for Mr.. Car |
boy appeared upon the scene and |
verified in detail all that Wilfrid had
sketched in outline And when it |
came to considering the narrative
dOyetailed together so astutely by
Roger Hews, old John Trevecca was
able to add many little corroborative
details which had lain dormant in his
memory for years.
So Eunice Trevecca found herself
In all probability the richest single
in America. Her first thought
was to give her stepfather the best of
care and attendance, under which his
health speedily mended, being of a
naturally hale and hearty.
At first Eunice insisted that Wilfrid
should share and share alike. Find
ing this impracticable, she offered to
settle a certain definite sum upon him.
But not a dollar would he accept. say
ng that if she would forgive him the
arge sums he had disbursed during
his false tenure he would be content.
All these attempted negotiations
we're conducted by the lawyers; not
1nce did the cousins meet, not a line
passed between them.
