popped-it is a matter of about ten
minutes-my life bread is done.
Each grain of this life bread Is a
loaf, miniature, delicious loaf,
brown and crisp, that falls to powder

best-flavored bread in existence. But
it must be confessed that the loaves

Kate Field, Excellent Judge of Char

Field. She had the soul of poet, 2

world. In mentality she was fully as
strong as either of her brilliant broth

Yes, that's it, sir, that's it. l had

pocket of yours, sir, is very handy"
And Name CRY once more suited
the action to the word. She passed
behind NJ Richard and, so nimbly that
Moncharmin himself was impressed
by it, slipped the envelope into the
pocket of one Of the tails of M Rich
ards dress-coat
'"Of coursei" exclaimed Richard,
looking a little pale. It's very clever
of o. G. The problem which he had
to solve was this: how to do away
with any dangerous intermediary be-
tween the man who gives the twenty
thousand francs and the man who re-
ceives it, And by far the best thing
he could hit upon was to come and
take the money from my pocket with

CHAPTER XVII.


Moncharmin's last phrase so clearly
expressed the suspicion in which he
now held his partner that it was
bound to cause a stormy explanation,
at the end Of which it was agreed that
Richard should yield to all Monchar-
MINIS wishes, with the object of help
ing him to discover the miscreant
who was victimizing them
This brings US to the interval after
the Garden Act, with the strange con-
duct observed by M. Remy and those
curious lapses from the dignity that
might be expected of the managers.
1t was arranged between Richard and
Moncharmin, first, that Richard should
repeat the exact movements which he
had made on the night of the disap-
pearance of the first twenty-thousand
francs; and, second, that Moncharmin
should not for an instant lose sight
of Richards coat-tail pocket, into
which Name Giry was to slip the
twenty-thousand francs.

Best Poultry Tonics.

Fresh air, sunshine and exercise are
the best poultry tonics. But fresh air
does not mean drafts in the houses,
nor does sunshine call for exposure to
hot suns during the summer. The
houses should be SO constructed that
fresh air can constantly be present to
drive out bad doors and purify the at
mosphere.
The sunshine should be able to
reach every corner to destroy any
germs that might be lurking in damp
ness. The fowls should exercise by
scratching that a good circulation of
the blood may be stimulated The
above are the three best medicines in
the poultry doctors are.

not that now and then in later years

ing either. l am very glad to hear
it, Nine. Giry!"
Yes" the terrible dame agreed,
yes. it's true We neither of us
knew anything But you, you must
have ended by finding out"
Richard would certainly have swat
lowed Name CRY alive, If Monchar-
min had not been there! But Mon
charmin protected her. He resumed
his questions:
What sort of envelope did you put
in NJ Richards pocket? 1t was not
the one which we gave you, the one
which you took to Box Five before
our eyes; and yet that was the one
which contained the twenty-thousand
francs"
Il beg your pardon. The envelope
which NJ lie directeur gave me was
the one which I slipped into NJ lie di-
recteur's pocket" explained Name
CRY. The ore which | took to the
ghosts box was another envelope.
just like it, which the ghost gave me
beforehand and which | hid up my
sleeve"
So saying, Name CRY took from her
sleeve an envelope ready prepared and
similarly addressed to that containing
the twenty-thousand francs. The
managers took it from her They ex-
amined it and saw that it was fastened
with seals stamped with their own
managerial seal. They opened it. 1t
contained twenty Bank of ST. Farce
notes like those which had so much
astounded them the month before
How simple!" said Richard
How simple!" repeated Monchar-
min. And he continued with his eyes
fixed upon Name Giry, as though try
ing to hypnotic her.
so it was the ghost who gave you
this envelope and told you to substi-
tute it for the one which we gave
you? And it was the ghost who told
you to put the other. into NJ. Richards
pocket?"
Yes, it was the ghost"
Then would you mind giving US a
specimen Of your little talents? Here
is the envelope Act as though we
knew nothing"
AS you please, gentlemen"
Name CRY took the envelope with
the twenty notes inside it and made
for the door. She was on the point
of going out when the two managers
rushed at her.

said the old woman, in self-excuse,

knew nothing. Well, If you
knew nothing, should go away with
your envelopei"
And then how would you slip it
into my pocket?" argued Richard
whom Moncharmin fixed with his left
eye, while keeping his right on Name
Giry; a proceeding likely to strain
his sight, but Moncharmin was pre-
pared to go to any length to discover
the truth.
