him or connected him with the sounds
that had thrilled and alarmed him over

he had hardly thought any coherent

FATTEN TURKEYS AND GEESE
Former VIII Put on Flesh Rapidly u
Fed Corn and Allowed Range
Geese Need Water.

In answer to query as to the best
method of fattening turkeys and
geese, an exchange publishes the fol.
lowing reply:
AS a rule, turkeys do not fatten
quickly II shut up In yards or small
enclosures. but put on flesh rapidly
II fed corn and allowed to range. In
the absence Of corn, wheat would be
the next best with a change to oats
every second or third feed. Young
turkeys make rapid growth If given
a fair chance, and to a turkey fair
chance means plenty of room. He Ia
best contented when he can go where
ever he likes, and discontented one
Will not thrive. At this season Of
year he can do no harm II given the
run Of the farm. BY feeding in the
evening sufficient to fill the crop he
will grow we'll on this, together with
what he has foraged during the day.
Ii fed heavily in the morning. he will
not forage SO we'll during tho day, but
the evening feed will serve to send
him TO roost with q full crop and also
Induce him to come homo to roost.
Don't attempt to induce them to roost
under cover until the really cold
weather comes. II you do they will
probably suffer from cold, which may
lay the foundation for roup later on.
Pullets will not make good breeders
next spring. so save the best of the
old hens.
II you mean 70 "force feed" youi
geese In the way that you would fowl
for the market, don't think that the
quality Of the flesh you would thus
add would be appreciated by the con-
sumer. Constant feeding of corn with
plenty Of water WILL make a goose
that Is not on free range mass Of
fat without much solid flesh. Plenty
Of corn fed while the flock has free
range and can get sufficient other
food, such as grass, to balance the ra-
ton will make good feshed and
we'll fatted carcass. Water plays an
Important part In fattening geese, and
they must have plenty Of 1t II the
food they consume Is to produce the
best results. In all cases Of fatten-
ing It Is much better for the breed
Ing stock that are to be kept over II
they can be separated from the stock
that Is to be fattened. and this also
saves on the feed bill. This Is where
the colony house plan of yarding
comes in useful.

STOPPING THE SMALL LEAKS
Many Dollars Are Wasted on Average
Farm In Many Things "Too
Small to Notice."
(By G. 8. MILLER.)


The most impressive thing I ever
saw was man who kept 5000 sheep
pick little wisp Of wool off fence
board and put 1t In his vest pocket.
I couldn't help asking him how much
wool he saved In the course Of the
year in that way. He said probably
about two pounds. That seemed like
pretty small business to me, but after
got better acquainted with that man
learned that he had habit Of pick
ing up loose nails. scraps of iron and
all that sort Of junk, and began to
think him very close, until at last it
dawned upon me that the old man
ran his whole farm on the same idea.
He wasted nothing, but was not
stingy. He kept the big things going
as well as saving the small ones, and
he was immensely rich. A good many
dollars are wasted on the average
farm every year In things too small
to notice." Many a farmer would get
out Of his buggy to pick up a cent
who allows a nickel's worth of grain
to dribble here, hay to be lost there,
and so on all around the farm. The
little things are worth thinking
about.

CHAPTER XI.-ContInued.

In the cab, Maitland, turning to
watch through the rear peep-hole, was
thrown violently against the side as
the hanson rocked on one wheel into
his street. Recovering, he seized the
dashboard and gathered himself to-
gether ready to spring the instant the
vehicle paused in its headlong career.
Through the cabby's misunderstand-
Ing of the address, in all likelihood,
the horse was reined In on its
launches some three houses distant
from the apartment building. Matt
land found himself sprawling on his
hands and knees on the sidewalk,
picked himself up, shouting: You'll
waltz" to the driver, and sprinted
madly the few yards separating him
from his own front door, keys ready in
hand
simultaneously the half-winded po-
liceman numbered around the Fifth
avenue corner, and man, detaching
himself from the shadows of neigh
boring doorway, began to trot loutish-
ly across the street, evidently with
the intention of intercepting Maitland
at the door.
He was hardly quick enough. Matt
land did not even see him. The door
slammed in the mans face, and he,
painting harshly, raped out an i'm
precation and began frantic assault
on the push-button marked "Janitor.'
AS for Maitland, he was taking the
stairs three at clip, and had his pass
key in the latch almost as soon as his
feet touched the first landing. An In
slant later he thrust the door open and
blundered blindly into the pitch dark
ness Of his study.
For a thought he stood bewildered
and dismayed by the absence OF light.
He had thought, somehow, to find the
gas lets flaring. The atmosphere was
hot and foul with the odor OF kero-
sene. the blackness filled with strange
sounds and mysterious moving shapes
A grunting gasp came to his ears, and
then the silence and the night alike
were split by report, accompanied by
a streak of orange fame shooting
ceilingward from the middle of the
room.
Its light, transient as it was, gave
him some inkling of the situation. Un'
thinkingly he flung himself forward
ready to grapple with that which first
should meet his hands. Something
soft and yielding brushed against his
shoulder, and subconsciously, In the
auto-hypnosis of his excitement, he
was aware Of mans voice cursine
and woman's cry Of triumph trailing
off into a wall of pain.
On the instant he found himself al
grips with the marauder. For mo

the girl, lifting her hand and gently
taking the revolver from her fingers.
Below, O'Hagan was parleying
through the closed door witA the late
callers. Maitland could have blessed
his hot-headed Irish stupidity for the
delay he was causing.
Already Anisty was on his feet
again, blind with rage and crouching
as If ready to spring, only restrained
by the sight of his own revolver,
steady and threatening in Maitland's
hand.
For the least part Of a second the
young man hesitated, choosing his
way. Then, resolved, in accents of
determination: STAND up, you hound!"
he cried. Back to the wall there!"
and thrust the weapon under the burg
lars nose.
The move gained instant obedience.
Mr.. Anisty could not reasonably hesi-
tate in the face of such odds.
"And you," Maitland continued over
his shoulder to the girl without remov-
ing his attention from the burglar, into
the alcove there, at once And not a
word, not whisper, not sound until
l call you'll"
She gave him one frightened and
piteous glance, then, unquestioning,
slipped quietly behind the portieres.
To Anisty, again: Turn your pock-
cts out!" commanded Maitland.
"Quick, you fool! The police are be-
low; your freedom depends on your
haste"
Anisty's hands few to his pockets,
emptying their contents on the floor.
Maitland's eyes sought in vain the
shape of the canvas bag. But time
was too precious. Another moments 8
procrastination and
THAT will do," he said, crisply,
without raising his voice. Now listen
to me. At the end of the hail. there,
you'll find a trunk closet, from which

Naturally you would. Now go!"
Anisty waited for no repetition OF
the permission. Whatever the mad
ness Of Mad Maitland. he was con-

HISTORICAL RECORD OF RINGS.

the World.

The ring began when man thrust
his finger through a hole in a pretty
shell, and later learned to make rings
Of Jet. The ring is very magical.
Lord Ruthven, who helped to kill Riz'
zio, gave Queen Mary ring which
was "sovran" against poison, and she
generously replied with the precent OF
her fathers wonderful jeweled dagger
Of French work, no longer in exist
ence. Whether Ruthven fooled with
this magnificent weapon in the affair
Of Rizzio or used cheaper article is
uncertain. At all events Mary based
on the ring that was an antidote to
poison a charge Of sorcery against
Ruthven. The judges Of Jeanne dare
regarded with much suspicion her lit
tie ring Of base metal, gift from her
parents, inscribed with the sacred
names Jesus Maria.
It was usual to touch the relics OF
saints with rings; Jeanne dare said
that her ring had touched the body OF
St. Catherine, whether she meant OF
the actual saint or relic Of the saint,
brought from Sinai to Ferbois. The
ring might contain relic, or, later, a
miniature. fear that do not believe
in the virtues or vices Of poison rings.

! oner's demeanor, something far from
seemly, to his mind.
The humor of the situation had Just
dawned upon Maitland, and the young
man was crimson with appreciation.
Go on, go on!" he begged, feebly.
Don't let me stop you, Hickey. Don't,
please, let me spoil it all. Your Sher-
lock Holmes, Hickey, is one of the
finest characterizations l have ever
witnessed. 1t is a privilege not to be
underestimated to be permitted to play
Raffies to you. But seriously, my dear
sleuth!" with an unhappy attempt to
wipe his eyes with hampered fists,
don't you think you're wasting your
| talents?"
By this time even the policeman
seemed doubtful. He glanced askance
at the detective and shuffied uneasily.
AS for the cabby, who had clustered
in at first with intent to demand his
due in no uncertain terms, apparently
Maitland's bearing, coupled with the
| inherent contempt and hatred Of the
| nighthawk tribe for the minions of the
law. had won his sympathies complete
ly. Lounging against a door -jamb,
quite at home, he genially puffed an
unspeakable cigarette and nodded ap-
probation of Maitland's every other
word.
But Hickey-Hickey bristled bellig-
erently.
Fine" he declared, acidly; fine
and dandy. l take off my hat to yeh,
Dan Anisty. l may be bad actor, all
right, but yeh got me beat at the
post"
Then turning to the policeman: II
! got him right. Look here!" Drawing
a folded newspaper from his pocket,
he spread it open for the officers in
spection. "Yeh see them pictures? ?
Now, on the level, is 1t natural?"
The patrolman frowned doubtfully,
glacing from the paper to Maitland.
The cabby stretched curious neck.
Maitland groaned inwardly; he had
seen that Infamous sheet.
Now listen," the detective ex.
pounded with gusto. "Twict to-day this
here Maitland, or Anisty. meets me.
Once On the stoop here, nd he's Matt
land IN takes me to lunch-see? Next
time it's in Harlem, where I've been

he gives me the slip nd chases down

"Uh-huh," grunted the patrolman,
scowling at Maitland. The cabby
caressed his nose with'a soiled fore
finger reflectively, plainly bit pre-
JUDGED by Hickey's exposition.
"One minute" Maitland interjected,
eyes twinkling and lips twitching.
How long ago was it that you began
to watch this house, sleuth?'
Five minutes before yeh come"
responded Hickey, ignoring the insult.
Now"
'"Took you long time to figure this
out, didn't it? But go on, please"
well, l picked the winner, all
right" flared the detective. 81 guess
