laundering down the platform came
the afternoon train, great event in
the town life.
From the Pullman alighted widow,
in deep mourning. AS she got off and
moved down the platform it was ap-
parent that she walked with pro-
nounced limp.
At the end of the platform the chauf-
feurs were still calling, while the new
conner looked over the crowd hastily.
Suddenly he caught sight of the face
of the widow. He stepped forward as
she approached. The others held back
as they had agreed and paid no atten-
ton. 1t was like forcing a card.
He held the door open and she en-
tered the cab, unsuspecting. "Mr. Del
Mars" she directed, simply.
He pulled away from the station. On
through the pretty country roads the
chauffeur drove the heavily yelled
widow until at last they came to Del
Mars bungalow.

fare to alight.
''Wait for me-" she said, without
paying him yet. 81 shall not be long

AS she limped up the gravel walk
he watched her closely. She went to
the door and rang the bell and the
valet admitted her.
Del Mar was still sitting, thinking,
in the library.
"Mr. Del MARI" she inquired.
The voice was not exactly soft, aid
Del Mar eyed her suspiciously. Was
this the person he expected, or a
plant?

The widow, too, evidently wished to
make no mistake. AS she spoke, she
raised her hand. BY that simple &C
ton she displayed a curious and con-
spicuous seal ring on her finger. It
was the sign of the ring for which Del
Mar had been waiting.
He extended his own left hand. On
the ring finger was another ring, but
not similar. AS he did so, the widow
took the ring from her own finger
aA placed it On the little finger of Del
Mar.

The woman raised her thick veil,
disclosing the face ola man!
1t was the same face, also, that had
appeared in the photograph sent to the
old fisherman by Woodward
Awkwardly, the man searched in the

THIRTY-FOURTH EPISODE
THE HARBoR DEFENSE PLANS.

Alone in the doorway before his
rude shack on the shore Of the prom
ontory sat an old fisherman, gazing
out fixedly at the harbor as though
deeply concerned over the weather,
which, as usual, was unreasonable.
Suddenly he started and would have
disappeared into his hut but for the
fact that, although he could not him.
self be seen, he had already seen the
intruder.
1t was a trooper from Fort Dale. He
galloped up and, as though obeying to
the letter his instructions, handed an
envelope to the fisherman. Then, with
out word, he galloped away again.
The fisherman opened it quicklysl In
side was a photograph and a note. He
read:
FORT DALE.
Professor Arnold:
J.. Smith, clerk in the war depart
ment, has disappeared. We are not
sure, but fear that he has a copy of

walks with a slight limp. Look out
for him.
LIEUTENANT WOODWARD.
For a long time the fisherman ap-
peared to study the face on the photo
graph until he had it indelibly implant
ed in his memory
Finally he turned and entered his
hut. Hastily he took off his stained
REFER. From a wooden chest he drew
another outfit of clothes. The trans
formation was complete. When he is
sued forth from his hut again, it was
no longer the aged disciple of Izaak
Walton. He was now a trim chauf
feur, bearded and goggled.
In the library of his bungalow, Del
Mar was pacing up and down, now and
then scOwling to himself, as though
there flashed over his mind stray recol-
lections of how some of his most cher
ished plans were miscarrying.
Still, on the whole, he had nothing
to complain of. For, a moment later
the valet entered with telegram for
which he had evidently been waiting.
Del Mar seized it eagerly and tore
open the yellow envelope. On the
blank was printed in the usual way
the following noncommittal message:
Washington, D. c., August IL, 1915.
Mr.. Del Mar:
What you request is corning. An
swer to sign of the ring. SMITH.
Good" muttered Del Mar as he fin
ished reading Strange, what little
gold will do-when you know how to
dispose of it"
He smiled cynically to himself at the
sentiment.
At the little railroad station they
were quite proud of the fact that at
least two of the four hacks had been
replaced already by taxicabs.
1t was, then, with some surprise and
not little open jealousy that they
saw new taxicab drive up and take
its stand by the platform.
If the chauffeur, transformed from
the lonely fisherman, had expected
cordial reception, he might better have
stayed before his hut, for the glances
the other drivers gave him were as
black and lowering as the clouds he
had been looking at.
The new chauffeur got off his seat.
instead OF trying to brazen it out, he
walked over to the others who were
standing in group waiting for the ap-
preaching train whose whistle had al
ready sounded

fore a harbor, Sandy Hook and New
York. On it were indicated all the de-
lenses, the positions of guns, every
thing.
The chauffeur had no intention of
remaining inactive outside while he
knew that something that interested
Him was transpiring inside. He had
crept up by the side of the house to
the window. But he could see little
and hear nothing.
A moment he strained every sense.
It was no use. He must devise some
other way. How could he get into
that room? Slowly he returned to his
car, thinking it over. There he stood
for a moment revolving in his mind
what to do. He looked up the road.
An idea came to him. There he saw a
little runabout approaching rapidly.
Quickly he went around to the front
Of his car and lifted up the hood. Then
he bent over and pretended to be tink-
ering with his engine.
AS the car was about to pass he de-
iberately stepped back, apparently
not seeing the runabout, and was
struck and knocked down.
The runabout stopped. the emer-
gency brakes biting hard.

MONEY IN SMALL
FLOCK OF SHEEP
(By R. NJ Murphy, Division of Extern
sion, University of Tennessee.)

sion, University of Tennessee.)
There is more money to be made
from small flock of sheep, judiciously
handled, than from any other kind of
stock on the farm. They do not stand
crowding, but on nearly every farm
in the state there is room for a small
flock. Mr. H. c. Lawler, of Martin,
Tenn, is taking advantage of the
sheep situation in the following man
ner: He furnishes the farmers of thel
surrounding community small flock,
assuming all loss from dogs or DEATH
from any cause, for one-half the wool
and lambs. For number of years he
has been increasing the number until
he now has scattered through thel
country more than 500 ewes in 6ocksl
ranging from rs to so in number, gen.
orally. In the community where, up
until he started this not sheep was
to be found because of fear Of the dogs,
etc. Indications are now that in the
course of the next few years every
farmer will have small flock. They
have paid, and paid well, in this COM
munity because cotton has been low
in price and the farmers have needed
the money. Mr. Lawler makes 80 per
cent on his investment, which is more
than he can make in many other legit-,
innate ventures, and the farmer just
simply finds his half, for he has AMI
abundance of weeds and Japan clover
going to waste. There is great oppor-
tunity for this plan to succeed in many
other communities in the state.

Hog cholera, the greatest scourge OF
the swine industry, is still a problem
of large proportions. An emphasis OF
the sanitary and hygienic side of It
seems indicated that more Roadway
may be made in controlling it.
In this connection it may be well to
quote some pertinent truths expressed
on this subject by the Missouri Agrl'
cultural College, as follows:
Hog Cholera.
Symptoms:
l. Loss of appetite and feverishness.
2. Huddling together in beds, wab'
bly, gait, weak in hind parts.
8. Eye-lids matted together. Red
splotches on skin of belly and inside
of hams.
4. May have diarrhoea, or may be
constipated.
5. Post-mortem shows lymph glands
congested, lungs speckled, spleen en-
larged and soft, kidneys speckled like
turkey egg, ulcers in intestines.
Prevention:
1. Keep hogs free from parasitesI
such as lice and worms.
2. Furnish proper sleeping quarters,
avoid draughts, wet bedding, piling
up. ETC.; these conditions may cause
pneumonia and thus predispose toI
cholera.
3. Change location of hogs occasion
ally.
A Do not make sudden changes I'M
methods of feeding; such may cause
Indigestion and lessen resistance to
cholera; slightly laxative ration is
best.
5. Keep newly purchased hogs sepa-
rated from rest of herd for at least
four weeks
6. Use care to prevent infection car
riers coming from farms where dis
ease is located.
7. Hogs coming in contact with pub
lie highways or streams are in danger
of exposure to cholera at any time.
/ 8. Sheds and pens should be occa-
sionally disinfected with slaked lime
8. When hogs are exposed to the
disease vaccinate at once with the sin
gle treatment (serum alone).
! Control
1. Quarantine all sick hogs so that
infection will not be carried to other
| herds.
2. Burn all careasses of hogs that
have died of cholera or other diseases.
8. Administer serum to all apparent
ly healthy hogs.
4. Clean up all pens, hog houses and
yards, and disinfect with freshly
slaked lime.
5. Remove all filthy and insanitary
mud wallows.
The sick hog and the dead hog are
the most dangerous sources of chol
era; watch these and forget the buz
zard. Do not deliberately put cholera
on your farm by vaccinating by the
simultaneous method (serum and
virus). When necessary to vaccinate
use serum alone.
