VALUE OF BLANKETINe cous
Practice Adopted in Aus.r,t, to Give Excellent Results pur' ra'o
 ing Cold Weather

For some years past a n,,,. dairymen in Australia haze os eI the practice of blanketing cows p.eu s. ing wet and cold weather. The ~ suits in every case are spoken '. re being highly satisfactory. When aS are kept warm the food tbev sume, instead of being utilize, WI maintain daily heat, is largely as voted to the production of min, ~ in this way the dairyman real,,os e large profit on the very small ou.,.a required to provide blankets for h,, cattle in cold weather 's
 Men who have studied the srh,... closely say that the effect of coress on COWS is very remarkable rts quiet cows become more quiet and contented, while those that ara shs. or nervous have their nerves sootbod and submit of being handled witbon. fear This is no fad of one or ,vo men, but has become so commoo that the manufacturers have nlacsa several kinds of blankets as cove, ings on the markets, with a view ., supplying the demand that b.s arisen.
 It is said. however, that a homo. made blanket, made from old whoa. bags. serves the purpose as well aa anything. After they have been worn for a short time they become thor oughly waterproof.

 The young doctor whom Doctor VII cox had left in charge happened to be passing through the hall, and stopped as he heard the request.

 The four of us-the doctor, Davis. Louise and myself, in the order named. uptoed into the generals room. Twas prepared for great change in him. but his appearance was really terrifv- ing. Perceptibly thinner, aged as by many years, all shriveled and shrunk- en, he lay chained to his bed by his afiiiction, unable to lift leg or arm, his lips fallen nervelessly apart, his tongue lolling uncontrollably-dead dead, dead, save his eyes. AC I nflicn side it appeared to me that he reeog- nized us both and 1 could detect the same pleading look I had noted the night before.

 Seeing how much his presence dis turbed the invalid, Davis turned quick ly and left the room. Louise and I followed, leaving only the doctor and nurse.

us was swept away knew then 1t was only fear that she had been for ward in showing her affection. Hand in hand We raced up the stairs after the inspector, and ranged ourselves on the other side of the bed from him.
 Between us, her long hair in braids, only the white bandage around her forehead to suggest her wound, lay the silent figure of Katharine Parrish. The pallor of her face seemed only to enhance her beauty, and though her eyes were closed. her long dark lashes still gave expression. As We watched, she began stirring restlessly and her hands twitched nervously. Suddenly her eyes opened wide. not with the light of intelligence, but with the bril- liancy of hysteria or the excitement of fever. She made an intellectual at tempt to rise in bed but she was too weak. Sinking back on the pillow she shrieked: Promise me, Hugh. promise me, you'll do 1t at once"
 After that one sentence she relapsed into inconsistencies. 1 feared for a moment that she was dead. The doc tor hastened to her side and began to feel her pulse and listen 10 her heart. II seemed many minutes before he turned to us with a reassuring whis- per:
 Tt is nothing serious-a relapse to be expected after that outburst. Her heart is stronger than l expected She will not likely regain consciousness for many hours, but there is no inme diate danger"
 His manner. rather than his words, invited us to go. so Louise and l fol lowed Davis from the room.
 The inspector seemed to have for. gotten his haste to depart. He sat down abruptly on a diyan in the up. per hall, with his face resting in his hands. and gave himself up to intent thought.
 Louise and I stood a little apart, dis. cussing in whispers katharines strange outcry. What could she have meant?
 She meant Crandall, of course" said Louise. "She mentioned Hugh did you hear it?"
 I nodded assent.
 Probably she was repeating 6 con versation she had with him just be fore she shot herself" 1 suggested What do you suppose she wanted him to promise herr"
 Louise shook her head. I racked my brain in vain for some theory to fit her words to her own desperate act, to Crandall's flight, to her ia. ther's terror. l judged from Davis abstracted manner that he, too, was similarly engaged
 Everything" l said to Louise, ''ev cry single thing We have learned points to Crandalls connection with the mystery that has hung over your father and Katharine When we have found him We shall learn what it was. am more and more convinced that he is guilty of some crime, something terrible. something that your father and sister knew"
 The inspector laughed aloud.
 We turned toward him. I in indigna tion, Louise in astonishment, to find him looking at us with an amused smile.
