Yes, they are distantly related to

"Ah. 8 very satisfactory connection

no little satisfaction. Proceed. sir"
There is nothing much else to say
about myself, except that l love your
daughter and with your permission

Mr.. Maitland had thought long and
seriously over the state of affairs. He
had proposed in his desperation to
give her hand to Armstrong If he
found her. 1t had been impossible to
keep secret the story of her adven-
ture, her rescue and the death of Arm

that gossip should have busted itself
with her name. 1t would therefore
have been somewhat difficult for Mr..
Maitland to have withheld his consent

MISSOURI SWINE HOUSE PLAN
Shown In lIIustration-Hoes Ma
nlpuIate Swinging Doors.

An excellent plan for a hog house
is given by William Critchell in the
Missouri Valley Farmer as follows:
Illustration No. l shows the floor
plan of my hog house, "a by go feet.
In this house there are 16 stalls, by
s feet divided into sleeping place 8
by 9 feet and feeding place by 6
feet-one cooker room 5 by u feet,
one feed bin by II feet, and drive
way feet wide with sliding roller
doors.
No. 2 gives an idea of the concrete
floor, "a feet wide A is the sleeping
place, B the feeding floor with 2-inch
rise next to bedding to keep out litter,
c the driveway feet wide A, C and A
are all on the same level. The feeding
floors (BB) are inches higher than
AA, sloping to A inches higher than G.
All litter drops into the driveway,
where it can be taken up and hauled
out as fertilizer. No. shows the
house plan, with lighting space at top
and small swinging doors at bottom.

OXFORD SHEEP ARE PROLIFIC
Breed Originated in England from
Cross of Cotswold and Hamp-
shire Downs-GroW Rapidly.

Oxford sheep originated in England
in the early part of the 10th century
from a cross of Cotswold and Hamp-
shire Downs. They have been known
since 1857 as Oxfordshire or Oxford
Downs, and are now widely distrib-
uted over the United States and Can
ada. They are the largest and heav-
lest of the Down breeds. When in
good flesh the rams should weigh $50
to 275 pounds, and the ewes from 200
to 225 pounds The wool is rather
coarser than any other of the medium
wool breeds, and the fleece is heavier,
weighing from 13 to 70 pounds I'M
washed.
The face is usually an even dark
gray or brown, with or without a gray
spot on the tip of the nose. They are
best adapted for lands furnishing good
pasture, and do not succeed as well
under range conditions or on rugged,
broken pastures. The ewes are very
prolific, triplets being not uncommon.
The lambs grow rapidly and ere of
good form. The chief shortening
of the breed is that it is not as hardy
as some others.

two older men went out leaving New
bold alone.
But l don't quite understand quer-
led Mr. Stephan Maitland.
He heard a soft step on the stair
in the hall without; the gentle swish
of a dress as somebody descended
from the floor above. A vision ap-
peared in the doorway. Without a
movement in opposition, without a
word of remonstrance, without throb
of hesitation on her part, he took her
in his arms From the drawing-room
opposite, Mr. Robert Maitland softly
tiptoed across the hall and closed the
library door, neither of the lovers be-
ing aware of his action.
Often and often they had longed for
each other on the opposite side of
door, and now at last the woman was
in the mans arms and no door rose
between them, no barrier kept them
apart any longer. There was no obli-
cation of loyalty or honor, real or i'm
agined, to separate them now. They
had drunk deep of the chalice of cour-
age, they had drained the cup to the
very bottom, they had shown each
other that though love was the great
est of passions, honor and loyalty were
the most powerful of forces. and now
they reaped the reward of their abne-
cation and devotion.
At last the woman gave herself up
to him in complete and entire aban-
donment without fear and without re-
proach; and at last the man took what
was his own without the shadow of
a reservation. She shrank from no
pressure of his arms, she turned Der
face away from no touch Of his lips.
They two had proved their right to
surrender by their ability to conquer.
Speech was hardly necessary be-
tween them. and IL was not for long
time that coherent words came. Little
murmurs of endearment. little pas
sionate whispers OF a beloved name
these were enough then.
When he could find strength 10 deny
himself a little and to hold ner at
arms length and look at her, he found
her paler, thinner and more delicate
than when he had seen her in the
mountains. She had on some witching
creation of pale blue and silver; he
didn't know what it was; he didn't
care-it made her only more like an
angel to him than ever. She found
him, too, greatly changed and highly
approved the alterations in his APP
pearance.

never realized what handsome man
you were
He laughed at her.
Il always knew you were the most

"Oh, yes, doubtless whea 1 was the

And IL there were millions you
would still be the only one. But it
isn't for your beauty alone that l love

fight against loving you WAS based up

Summer Care of the Pics.

Many farmers think that they can,
not afford to feed the pigs literally
during the summer season. The pigs
are allowed to shift for themselves in
many instances and of course do not
make much growth but one may sea
a pretty good profit in feeding at the
present high prices of both feed and
pork
The hogs will just about live on the
pasture they can gather from the field
and what grain is given them goes to
growth and any one who has tried it
has found that only a moderate ration
fed to the shoats on pasture will make
a good growth throughout the season.
Early spring pigs of any good breed
can be made to average a pound OF
gain a day by the time they are eight
Or ten months old and large part OF
this can be made on pasture,

In England the best one-day bag
was that of the Due de Luynes and
five other guns on Lord Strathmore's
Wemmergill moors in the Upper Lune-
dale district of Durham; 1889 birds
were killed during four drives in
stormy weather.
On the Duke of Deyonshire's Upper

nine guns out. The best bag was OBJ
