.costlnued From yesterday,

I steadied myself with long breaths,
bracing i%nvoluntarily against the ten
sion. Then all at once the door opened
silently and softly closed; and as L
turned to look someone rustled past
me, visible only as a solid shadow in
the gloom. and without a word slipped
into a seat at the table. The others
made room, and q chair was moved up
quietly, no one speaking or even paus-
ing in the song. But my heart pounded
in my ears and my hands heated as 1
cIenched them, for somehow L knew as
certainly as il / could have plainly
seen that the newcomer was MRS
Tabor.
And it was as if she brought with
her an increase of the already tense
expectancy, as If her w nervous
trouble spread out about her like a.
deepening Of color, like a drop of blood
falling into water already tinged with
red RI was my own imagination, OF
course the excitement of being close
unon nv quest, and the reaction of
silence closing over the interruption
OF her entrance; but felt n exertion
of breathing, as if [ were Immersed
IN to the chin in water. IL the at
mosphere had been like a weight be-
fore. 1t was now like a deliberately
closing wise. In the intervals of the
droning hum at the table, the silence
took on a quality of ~brittleness. Little
brushings and rustlings ran in waves
around the room, and thought how a
breeze runs over a field of tall grass,
where zach tuft in turn takes up its
neighbours restlessness. 1t occurred to
me suddenly that most of the people
here were women; and the sense of the
crowded presence led me to imagining
crowds and throngs of women grouped
in pictures or dancing in rows upon the
stage. And then ] remembered sharply
that I could not see Mrs. Tabor, and
wondered whether my certainty that it
was she had any more foundation than
these other fantasies. l heard my W
breathing, and that of many others.
1 felt vaguely irritated that all these
breathings were not keeping time, and
instinctively brought my own into the
rhythm of the predominating number.

COLLECTION
SYSTEM PLANNED
Manhattan and Hudson Road
Arranging for "Seven-
cent Tickets"

A system of collecting the new
seyen-cent tickets and instruction
which will aid the passengers in dis
corning the different rates Is being
worked out by the officials of the Man
haitian and Hudson Railroad. The in
creased fare on the Hudson tubes
goes into effect on December "a, but
will only affect those who use the up
town service In Manhattan. While
several systems are under c~onsidera-
ton 1t is believed that 1t will finally
be decided to ave three tickets.
One of these tickets will be marked
seven cents, one marked five cents n
the other two cents. There is no In
crease in fare on the downtown line
running from the Hudson Terminal at
Cortlandt street to Jersey City, the
Erie station and Hoboken. The patrons
Of this line In either direction are not
affected by the change, and will con-
tinue to drop their tickets in the slot
as has been the custom.
A passenger taking the tube from
any of the Jersey stations for uptown
New York. will have to buy a ven
cent ticket. This will be punched by
enters the tube instead of tickets
being deposited in the box. as was
the custom with 1he 1ve-cent tickets.
When the passenger arrives in Man
haitian he will deposit the ticket which
he holds into the box as he leaves the
tube. Passengers from uptown New
York bound for Jersey City will also
have to comply with this arrangement.

Maclean's hand relaxed upon my

throat, for l knew who made 1t, beyond
the possibility Of mistake.

"You mustn't be afraid, Miriam-you

over me, and / felt my hair bristling,
not with nervousness, but with a kind
of anger. The EMBELLISHMENTS of the
whole scene was too s~ickening-the
poor mothers hysterical fondness, the
utter sincerity OF her emotion, and the
sentimentalism that whined in reply,
so perfectly calculated to irritate and
control the crippled mind, and the ele-

this account of Minnesota's greatest
COW will no doubt say that he could
not do in his barn with this same
COW what has been done. Is there
any man farming in this section for
the past twenty years who is willing
to admit that Mr.. Schilling has in
a few years been able to feed and
care for cows better than they have.
He has no expert help, only farm boys
from this neighborhood who have been
taught dairying in the school of ex-
perience on Spring Brook Farm. Mr..
Schilling says that this great COW was
MIXED twice day with the exception
of one month and that she ate no hay
at all last winter, having been fed
sheaf oats, corn fodder and ensilage
for rough feed. Another COW that
Mr.. Schilling feels very proud of is

Bouquet for Hamilton.

Several of the journals devoted to
hotel news have made fiattering men,
tion of J. E. Hamilton, the new pro-
prietor of the Hotel La Grand. The
following, taken from the Hotel
World, of Chicago, shows how widely
and favorably Mr.. Hamilton is known
to the trade -:
'The Hotel La Grand, Morris,
Mimi, has been sold by Chas. Eckes
to James E. Hamilton, who was form
erly associate proprietor of the Saul
paugh Hotel at Mankato, Mimi, and
is brother of C. B. Hamilton, one
of the proprietors of the Oxford Hotel
at Denver. The LaGrand is a mod
ern three story brick structure of
eighty bed rooms. While Morris is
not large place, its location and
railroad facilities make it an excep-
tional hotel town, and even a good
Sunday town. In the LaGrand Mr..
Hamilton has an excellent plant and
one of the most profitable small hotels
in the country. In referring to this
deal friend of his said to The Hotel
World: 4 can't help but admire
Jim for keeping within his own
resources and preferring. under the
circumstances being an electric arc
light in small town to being much
DINNER light in a large city. "

A REAL DAIRY COW.
Northfield Cow Produced over
600 Pounds Butter in Year.

The following from the Mortified
News relative to a prize winning
dairy cow owned near there should be
of interest to every dairy farmer for
the high standard it shows of what a
dairy cow ought to bet
Two years ago the dairy fraternity
in Minnesota was startled by the an
nouncement that Mortified COW, Es-
ther Piebe DeKol End had made 20. 43
pounds butter in seven days and la
pounds in thirty days, giving an aver
age of 1O5 pounds of milk a day in
the seven day test and an average Of
SO pounds of milk a day for thirty
days. This record held good for cows
of all breeds up to last April when
these two records were broken by a
COW on the Irwin farm near Mime
apolis.
Now the State record for a COW in
yearly test has been taken by a
Mortified cow and it so happens that
this cow is niece of the great Esther
cow that made Mortified famous in
the dairy world. The COW, or rather
heifer, is only three years old and is
the property of w. F. Schilling at
Spring Brook farm. She began her
yearly test year ago on Oct. 1st,
and in the 365 days produced ID, :
403.4 pounds of milk. which made into
commercial butter would produced
604.26 pounds. No COW of any breed
yet reported has produced anything
like this amount and the average for
cows in the State is about 16O pounds
of butter annually. Just to give
some idea of what a COW like this is
worth to her owner The News will
give some figures. If her product
was sold as butter at thirty cents a
pound it would have brought IN
$181.27 in cash. The skim milk
would have been worth for feed $32. so
or total of $213.77. Had her pro-
duct been retailed at FIVE cents quart
she would have brought her owner
$3.50 for the years work. Besides
this she has a fine heifer calf for

The contract to build Audrain'.
new County Infirmary was let Tues
day afternoon to the ]. b. Evans Cor
struction Co., of Columbia, at $14,
S6l. The next lowest bidder was BY
the s. w. Dumas Construction Com
pany of Columbia at $14,S97.
These bids were re-submitted to
the court several times before the
contractors and the court could
agree. The court was determined to
keep within the limit Of the $4,000
voted by the people for this purpose
on March 10th last.
The contract with the Evans peo-
pie covers everything-lighting heat
ing and plumbing included. The
work on the structure will be be-
gun just as soon as all arrangements
can be made for the material and
get 1t placed on the site.
With this exception, about every
detail has been looked after. The
exact location of the building has
already been selected by this court.
The plans by which the contract
was let are practically the same,
that r. L. Phillips, who drew them,
submitted to the Court and were ac-
cepted at a meeting several weeks
ago
