"Ah!"
The exclamation was sharp, short
and conveyed little. Yet with its es-
cape, the whole scaffolding Of this
mans hold upon life and his own fate
went down in indistinguishabl chaos.
Mr.. Challoner realized a sense OF
havoc, though the eyes bent upon his
countenance had not wavered, nor the
stalwart figure moved.
Il have read some Of those letters"
the inventor finally acknowledged.
The police took great pains to place
them under my eye, supposing them
to have been meant for me because Of
the initials written on the wrapper.
But they were meant for Oswald. You
believe that now?"
II know It,"

A quick recoil, a smothered excla,

this simple statement which had

which had never been pierced before.
It was a sight no man could see I'M

the next word he uttered might open
between them.
But Orlando Brotherson possessed
resources Of strength Of which, pos

Mr.. Challoner, still more affected by
the silence than by the dread have
mentioned, turned to confront him
again, It was to find his features COM

Feeding on q Small Lot.

The table leavings, the parts Of vege-
tables that are usually thrown into the
garbage can, will comprise half the food
for a small flock Of chickens. The waste
in family for a year is enormous.
In small focks, as in all fiocks, atten-
ton must be paid to cleanliness and
exercise. Chickens. to be in good egg
laying health, must be kept clean and
they must have exercise. A scratching
pen is always a necessity. They must
be made to scratch for their grain food.
The deeper the litter the better for the
chickens. Keep them busy and they will
shell out the eggs and put on good flesh
In a previous article 1 have advocated
the smaller run In order to give scratch
ing room. In fact, with a coop and a
scratching pen and no run. chickens will
thrive better than with only a coop and
a run. 1t has been demonstrated that a
flock absolutely confined all the year
round, and properly cared for will lay
better than a flock tina, is allowed to
roam at will. Many poultrymen never
allow their chickens out from one year
to another.
So don't worry about your run. Bur
