-You can rely on me- said Raoui.
He hardly knew what he was say
ing. for his ideas about Christine, al
ready greatly confused, were becom-

which he had seen In sort OF night

also on the opera ghost, whose fame
had come to his ears one evening
when he was standing behind the
scenes. within hearing OF group OF
scehe-shifters who were repeating the
ghastly description which the hanged
man. Joseph Buquet, had given OF the
ghost before his mysterious death.
He asked int low voice: What
makes you think that Christine is
fond OF me, madame?"
She used to speak OF you every
day"
'Really7 And what did she
tell your"
"she told me that you had made her

Their joint exclamation OF horror
was heard all over the house They
felt that they were smarting under
the ghosts attacks. Leaning over the
ledge OF their box, they stared at Car

Five Points of a Good Dairy Cow.

0. c. Gregg, the celebrated dairy
expert and farm lecturer from Min
nescta, gives the following five points
to guide in selecting good dairy
COW:
l. Thin and sharp in the crops
(back of shoulders). Broad, feshy
crops indicate short milker.
9. Large barrel. The capacity
to consume large quantities of food
governs The capacity to give milk.
A large roomy workshop is necessary
to take care of raw materials.
8. Capacious udder, long and wide
in its body attachment. Room be-
tween the thighs is important. A
meaty udder is undesirable, but one
that milks down and has much loose
skin when empty.
4. Milk wells large-the orifces
in the body wall thr, ugh which the
milk veins pass back to the heart.
These weirs'' Indicate the amount
of blood flow.
5. The eye indicates the nervous
energy. 1t is the gauge of the en-
CINE, or nervous system, that drive
the vital organs of the body.
1t these five points are right, YOU
are sure to have good dairy COW.
OF these" says Mr.. Gregg, Il con-
slider the large milk wells the most
important and the best index to the
dairy capacity of the COW,

Four Big Days at County Fair.

The big Valley County Fair which
is to be held at Glasgow on September

sources OF eastern Montana and Val.

ltors have signiied their intention to
participate in the display. The finest
horseflesh ever gotten together at one
place in Montana will be there to
compete for part Of the $500 in pre-
mlums. 81 900 is offered in the cattle
section, and the aristocracy of cow
dom will be i'll evidence for blue rib
bons and prize money. Sheep, swine,
dogs, poultry, grains. grasses, vege-
tables, fruits and flowers, art works,
culinary, dairy products, and sewing,
ETC., III the Women's department.; all
these are offered liberal first and sec
ond prizes. Premiums for all de-
partments aggregate the handsome
amount of $1,000.
On each Of the four days of the fair
will be given rare program Of rae
ing. $4,000 in purses will be given
for the races, and that a classy bunch
of movers viii be there to take II
whack at some of the money goes
without saying.
Another event which is hound tn
make a hit is the ten-mile automobile
race. A purse of $3.50 is given for
this event. It's bound to cause some
real thrills.
What with racing, baseball, carni-
val features, and the complete midas
