was rapidly nearing Ciryne.
Rositta had sat motionless for a
short time. her mind revolving all the
details Of her plan.
Santos sat with his hands on the
wheel, eyes straight forward. watching
the faint yellowish glow that marked
the horizon. His heart throbbed with
happiness. He felt the presence of
the woman who was playing with him.
"Mr. Duprel!"
The dreaming man turned toward
the picture Of his dreams, letting the
bird fly its steady, rapid course.
"Will you answer me a question,
Mr.. Duprel?" she asked appealingly.
"As many, countess, as you wish to
ask"
First Of all. please call me Rositta
and will call you Santos"
Santos nodded. He had no more
power to analyze her motives, he
wanted to believe In the things that
were happening.
Were you ever in love friend
Santos?" She looked impishly into
Santos astonished eyes.
II never was before" he stammered.
"Then you are, now?"
Santos suddenly felt that weakness
that enveloped him In the presence of
the fair countess leave him; his deep
love had made him brave.
81 am, countess! Hopelessly in
love-" His voice was pathetic, a ming
ling Of longing and despair.
why hopelessly, my dear Santos?"
She had laid her hand on his arm, and
repeated the question.
Because dare to love you, you; is
my case not hopeless?" Poor Santos
trembled under the strain Of the past
half hour. All at once the despair,
the sufferings and his untold misery
were swept away in the wave of hap
piness caused by Rositta's arm about
his short neck He embraced the ex-
quisite woman 80 ardently that she
suffered, but she only replied with a
sweet, sense-ensnaring smile. Santos
| declared:
you have no idea what power you
possess over me. am your slave.
You can make Of me what you will, a
hero or a traitor. l am ready to die
for you"
1t was not necessary for Santos to
tell this. Rositta knew her power
even better than Santos.
They were nearing Ciryne, and San.
tos tried to regain his normal com.
posure. Rositta said gravely:
Listen to me, my dear. We must
be very careful what we do. l love
you and I want our love to last as
long as we live. You are all alone,
but have powerful connections and
still more powerful enemies who
would prevent our happiness. For
that reason we must plan carefully
and until that happy time comes,
when we can slip away to that little
home Of ours, we must be discreet
and cautious. Do not tell Of our love.
l will meet you whenever l can and
We will leave when the way is clear"
Il am yours, my dear Rositta, but |
know my happiness will betray my
love-"
The countess gazed straight ahead,
her hand still nestled In Santos. She
| continued:
Il have been all alone. The Presi.
dent, Mr.. Edison and his dear mother
have been very good to me, but have
| lOnged for someone IN he NV very
own. I have found you and now am
happy, indeed"
Could Santos have seen behind that
artful schemer's veil. he would have
recoiled, horror-stricken. But he could
only see the tender light in her eyes,
and hear the loving words from her
lips.

Cow In Poor Condition.

When a COW shows signs Of being
out of condition following calving she
should have a physic, says the Farm
Journal. Dissolve one pound Of EPSON
salts and Il quarter Of a cupful of salt
in three pints Of warm water and add
one cupful Of blackstrap molasses and
a tablespoonful of ground ginger root
Give this slowly and carefully from a
long necked bottle rs one dose. Blan-
ket the COW about the chest and body
while the physic is acting and allow
warm drinks of Cruel or haxseed tea.
When the physic has operated give her
twice daily in a pint Of haxseed tea
half dram of fluid extract of nux
vomica, two drains of fluid extract Of
gentiAn root and one ounce of pure al
cohOl. Allow some exercise when the
weather is fine and she is doing better.

CARING FOR SHEEP
IN COLD WEATHER

One Of the first essentials Of mnnng-
ing sheep in the fall Of the year is to
provide proper shelter, says the Ameri-
can Agriculturist. The cold rains and
damp nights Of the fall season, like
those Of the spring. are source of con-
slant danger. Unless given proper pro.
tectOn they are sure to catch severe
colds and run badly at the nose and
sometimes develop chronic catarrh or
pneumonia and die Sheep should
have good dry shed to sleep and rest
In during the fall and the shepherd
should take particular care that none
Is left out overnight. The shed should
be located on high and dry place and
should be kept well bedded to absorb
any moisture that may be present ut
any time. 1t should also have plenty

Pumpkins as a Sheep Feed.

Pumpkins are IN efficient and cheap
fall feed for sheep. The seeds possess
great medicinal value as Il vermifugc,
nutritive value. The pumpkins should
be scattered broadcast about the sheep
pasture. The sheep will gnaw their
way into the pumpkins and will eat
them up clean with little danger OF
overeating. The sheep like pumpkins
and do well on them where this feed
Is used as described.
