SYNOPSIS.

Hall Bonistelle, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., pre-
pares for the days work in his studio.
Flodfe Fisher, his assistant, reminds him
OF a party he is to give in the studio that
night Mr.. Doremus, attorney, calls and
Informs Hall that his Uncle Johns will
has left him 100000 on condition that
he marry before his twenty-eigbth BIRTH
day which begins at midnight that night.
Mrs. Rena Royalton calls at the studio.
Hall asks her to marry him. She agrees
TO give him an answer at the party that
night Miss Carolyn Dallys calls. Hall
proposes to her. She agrees to give him
an answer at the party. Rosamund Gale,
art model, calls. Hall tries to rush her
into immediate marriage. She, too,
defers her answer until the evening. Flo
die tries to show Hall a certain way out
of the mixup, but he is obtuse. Jonas
Hassingbury, heir TO the millions in case
Hall fails 70 marry time. plots with
Flodfe to block Halls marriage to any of
the three women before midnight. Flodie
arranges to have the three meet at the
studio as II by chance. At that meeting
much feminine fencing ensues, in which
Flodie uses her own foil adroitly. Hall
comes in. Alfred. the janitor. brings in a
newspaper with the story of the queer
legacy. The ladies' alliance to humiliate
Hall dlssolves and they retire to plan war
for the 100000 prize Successive tele-
phone messages from the three ladies in
form Hall that he is accepted by all
three Desperate, he asks Flodte to save
him from the three-horned dilemma by
marrying him. She refuses, and goes with
Alfred, who has long been a humble
sutton, to get a marriage license. Jonas
arrives for the party.

Say" he began potnrblank to Rosa
mund, 'be you any relation to Abijah
Gale? / believe his mother was a
Nettleton."
Rosamund glared, and Hall, sefxfng
the happy chance, had already begun
to edge OF, with a mumbled some
thing about duties and guests. People
had, In truth, begun to arrive and the
place was filing rapidly. The must
clans had begun to play; Flodie looked
In, with a distressed face, and beck
oned. Still Rosamund held him by
the sleeve.
Jonas fired again. Amt never been

you ought to run down to our village

Rosamund turned the full glory of
her gaze upon him. ooh, yes" she said
sweetly, 81 can easily believe that"
But alas for her irony! This indul-
gence had cost her her prey. Hall was
already across the room, and Jonas

PREPARE ROASTERS
FOR MARKET TRADE
Ohio Farmer Begins Fattening
When the CockereIs Weigh
Four Pounds.

When we furnished soft roasters to
in an exchange, we began fattening
about September 1, when the cockerels
were about four pounds weight (soft
roasters are crate-fed cockerels). We
now sell most Of ours in New York
city and have our first ones ready for
the Thanksgiving market When the
weather is cool enough to risk ship
ment that distance (and we keep 1t
up as long as we can buy nice young
chickens), we make the work fit In
with our other work; we begin as soon
| as we can after the silos are filled
and our stock cattle are in.
We keep the wind pump going
| when we are dressing and let the cool
ing trough overflow. The temperature
of the water is about fifty degrees F,
and cools them as well as ice water,
but no better, and not quite so quick
ly. We do not draw any that we ship,
but draw them for our local trade,
after first weighing as dressed. We
| find they are worth four cents per
pound more drawn than dressed
Some markets require them drawn
| but not table drawn. Only the small
| intestines are taken out without cut.
| ting any opening.
If poultry is properly dressed and
cooled, it keeps better and longer
| than if drawn, and the carcass Is very
| much improved If kept at a tempera-
ture Of about fifty degrees F. for one
or two weeks before being drawn and
cooked. If any feed is left in the crop
| it gives a sour favor to the carcass
| because the fermentation of the food
takes place there. But when that is
over and the feed passed out into the
| intestines, and the carcass cooled as
| soon as dressed, no bad favors re-
| suit. If the skin Is cut to remove the
| entrails, bacteria enter and very soon
| spoil the carcass.

CHAPTER XII.

Guests were coming in punches,
now, and kept Hall so busy for half
an hour that he had no time to plan
how he should escape from the other
two women with whom he must in
evitably have matrimonial converse.
So far, he was not particularly anxious.
ROsamund he thought he could dis
pose of somehow, putting her OF till
Flodie should change her mind; and
from Carolyn Dallys and Mrs. Royal
ton he feared little. He would trust.
at any rate, to the inspiration of the
moment. With four millions-and Flo
die-he didn't much care what they
thought of him. 1t was a caddish trick,
perhaps, but-four millions! The end
would have to justify the means.
So, handsome and elegant and popu-
lar, witty and well-bred, he laughed
and gossiped with his guests, started
the dancing, introduced one to another,
showed his color prints, and between
times watched the mousy girl in white
who had SO suddenly assumed an ex'
traordinary importance in his life.
Flodie, merely bowed to and patron
lied by most of the guests, had discov.
cred an unexpected friend in Mr.. Dore-
mus. He. finding her his only &C.
quaintance, had stuck to her like q
burr. F1odie liked him. At one-step
he could not cut much of a figure, but
seated in the Office with Flodie, wher<
she could keep an eye on Alfred and
the caterer. 1t was not long before she
felt impelled to make him her ally,
With all his elephantine wit and his
manners of the old school, Mr. Dore
mus treated her in a jocose, fatherly,
indulgent way that inspired her trust
And, that evening, Flodie had dire
need of a coadjutor She began I'd

give him her confidence, bit by bit,
watching his face more than listening
to his replies, and decided that che
could trust him; he had sympathy and
tact When, at last, after many inter.
ruptions, her story was told, Mr.. Dors-
mus took off his misty glasses and
wiped them.
Miss Fisher" he said soberly, IF
can help in this crisis, let me implors
you to tell me how"
Flodie got up slowly, and looked into
his kind blue eyes. Would you mind
coming into the studio for few min
utes?" she asked I'm so afraid we
may be interrupted or overheard /
want to tell you something"
Mr.. Doremus offered her his arm,
and escorted her into the studio.
BY eleven o'clock both Carolyn Dali
lys and Mrs Royalton had come. They
had, in fact, arrived together, having
shared Mrs. Royalton's limousine. This
preconcerted action was caused less
by friendship than mutual suspicion.
The two ladies dared not trust each
other out of sight, and each for fear
the other might gain an advantage,
sacrificed her own desire to be be,
forehand with her plans.

(By s. B. SHAW.)

(By S. B. SHAW.)
A great many fruit-growers make
the mistake of allowing their fruit to
become too ripe before picking, and as
a result the produce, which looks
fresh enough in the orchard or garden,
reaches the market overripe and often
decayed.
Overripe fruit or vegetables should
always be sold in a market which can
be reached within a very short time
after leaving the farm and very ripe
fruit should be consumed at home or
! canned.
Never ship bruised fruit, because
every bruise means quick decay and
rotting fruit never brings it's cost on
the market. Some growers harvest
their fruit by shaking it on the ground
on beds of straw placed around the
trees or by knocking it off with poles
or clubs. Fruit gathered in this way
is almost useless.
Fruit should be picked in bags or
baskets slung around the picker s
neck in order that he may use both
hands and every individual fruit
should be laid, not thrown, into the
receptacle. Growers of fine oranges
have learned that even the slight
abrasions made by the picker's finger
nails will cause decay, and in many
orchards the pickers are provided
with gloves to prevent injury of this
kind.
Next to proper picking comes grad.
the most important operation in pre-.
pairing fruit and vegetables for mar.
ket. This work can best be started
in the field with the growing Of the
crop. Careful cultivation means fewer
culls and less expense for sorting and
grading.
Uniformity is the chief requirement
to be considered in this operation and
fruit and vegetables should always be
sent to market uniform in condition
quality and general appearance. Mar
kets are seldom overstocked with good
~ developed, unevenly ripened and
badly selected products that injure the
sale of the better articles.
Produce of all kinds should be sort
ed SO that in each package the speci
mems are as nearly alike as possible
The efficient grader has in mind the
appearance of the whole package and
not the individual specimen.
The time has come when the better
grades of fruit and vegetables are put
up in special packages that go with
the sale of the product. The increasing
demand of this period for produce in
gift packages" has created very
strong competition among manufac
turers, and prices have been reduced
to the minimum.
It is good plan for amateur grow
ers, who have not shipped to the gen
eral markets, to first visit the farms oi
successful growers and learn by obser
walton how produce should be picked
graded and packed in order to bring
the best prices.
To show the importance Of the
proper grading and picking of fruit il
may be mentioned that some apples
sold on the New York market at 50
| per barrel, while apples from the same
orchard at the same time sold at 81

Time to Feed Chicks.

Do not feed young chicks till they
are at least one or two days old. They
absorb the yolk shortly before leav-
ing the shell, and that gives all the
nourishment their systems can use
for some time.

per box. The former were ungraded,
while the latter were graded, wrapped
and well packed
Most of the fancy fruit from the
western states sold on the eastern
markets is wrapped in paper and
packed in boxes. Apples of this kind
frequently sell on the Chicago and
New York and other big markets at
from 10 to Is cents each, while IL
they were packed Unfortunately in

Trained pickers can also face each

Better Grade, Better Prices.

The increased consumption of poul-
try and eggs from a sanitary point of
view as articles of diet has also de-
manded a better grade, not only by
individual purchasers, but by the gen.
eral public, and higher prices are also
obtained, and are cheerfully paid, too,
by the consumer if the poultry pro-
duct be satisfactory.
