CHAPTER XIV.
Delivering the Goods.

In spite of her indignant protests and
her contrary plans, Hester appeared at
the garage the next morning shortly be-
fore 10. There seemed nothing else for
her to do. Hour after hour through the
night the troubled girl had sought for
some different course and had found moth
ing. Somehow this chauffeur had discov-
cred her other name, the name she had
given to the police. Jenny Regan, and she
could not make any move until she found
out how much more he knew. She could
not carry out her plan of restitution nor
confide in Betty Thompson until she
learned what was back of Anton's ugly,
threatening attitude. He was not bluffing
she felt sure Of that.
The chauffeur received her with busi-
nesslike nod. He was cleaning the big

Scale of Work in France.

Some idea of the immense scale of the
work in France may be gained from the
fact that last year there were 3.321 stall

and 5000 colts were purchased. The
most of these horses were half-breeds,
but there were over 300 thoroughbreds
and 500 draft horses. There is one big
central breeding farm of 1.1OO acres, and
several smaller ones with twenty-five sta
tons or .'haras'' throughout the country.
Both Germany and Austro-H Hungary go

National Government Adopts
Plan for Improving Stock.
RESULT OF CONFERENCE
Rearing of Animals on System
Which Prevails in Europe.
BETTER MOUNTS FOR ARMY
Scheme Also Designed to Benefit the
Farmers Throughout the
United States.

| Following meeting of the government
officials interested in horse breeding for
| the army, it has been decided that the
government shall start horse raising
somewhat on the lines practiced by the
governments abroad. This will result in
a better strain of the animals the coun-
try over. will furnish better horses at
less expense to the army and will help
the farmers of the country by putting
better animals on the farms and making
more money for the individuals.
The meeting was held in the division
of animal husbandry of the Agricultural
Department. Representatives of the army
and the horse breeders were present
while the department was represented by
George Rommel, the chief of the division.
Il was decided that a start in purchas
ing stock would be made within the next
ten days. Fifteen or eighteen stations
will be first bought, and after that pos
siby forty viii be acquired in the course
of the year.

Assures Market for Colts.

No effort will be made at present to
breed extra fine horses, as is done, for in
stance in Germany. The government will
merely furnish the farmers Il better grade
than they are able to get ordinarily, and
an assured market for the colts. If the
government for any reason does not exer-
else it's option on the colt at three years,
then the farmer has the horse without
cost.
The plans of the government are some
thing like the system of breeding stations
in Germany. There the horses are usu-
ally ha:f-breeds though they are better
at that than the average of the horses
the farmers employ. But Germany has a
thoroughbred horse station where they
raise horses that are raced.
They have frequently bought Derby
winners, and paid enormous prices for
them. This was the case with Ard Pat
rick, for which they paid over s1o0,eoo,
and Galtee Moore, costing a little less
than S1lD ONO.

High-Class Animals Only.

The plan of the government will be
little different from that followed by the
governments abroad. 1t is aimed to have
only very high-class animals in the gov
ernment stud. They will be bred only un-
der approval by the Department of Agri-
culture as conforming to the army re-
mount requirement Colts will be OPP
toned by the government at $3.50 each.
| If in the meantime the farmer decides
/ to keep the colt, if he has a chance
| to sell it at price higher than the gov
! ernment will pay. he can be released
| from his contract by payment of $25.
| 1t has not yet been decided where or
! how many government stations there will
be. 1t has been determined in a general
way that one will be In Vermont prob
ably at the Morgan horse breeding farm
of the department there There will be
second station. probably in Virginia for
Virginia. West Virginia, Kentucky and
Tennessee, and possibly part of Ohio and
Illinois. The aim will be at the start to
concentrate the efforts Of the department
so that when the army officers go out
20 buy horses they will find them con-
ceEtrated in a reasonable area around
the stations.
