CHAPTER XVII.
rhumbs Down for nouchard.

Thumbs Down for Bouchard.
Haggard and at bay, Bouchard faced
the circle Of frowns around the pol
ished expanse of that precious heir
loom, the dining-room' table Of the Gal
lands. The dreaded reckoning Of tho
approximations which, kept him rest
lessly awake at night had q GYpPmQae,st the
next star council after the e' fail Of the
Twin Boulder RedoIbt. With the last
approach to the main line of defense
cleared, one chapter Of the war was
finished. But the Officers did not man
ifest the citation that the occasion
called for, which Is not saying that
they were discouraged, They had no
doubt that eventually the ,Grays would
dictate peace in the Browns acapital.
Exactly stated, their mood was one. Of
repressed professional irritation, Not
until the third ATTEMPT Was Twin 'Boul-
der Redoubt taken As far as results
were concerned, theg nicely 'planned

the Grays into an impossible fire zone
THE trouble Is we, are not In
formed" exclaimed Turcas, opening
his thin lips even less than usual. but
twisting them in a significant manner
as he gave his words a 9rasping en-
phasis. The others hastehed to follow
his lead with equal candon ''
Exactly. We have no reports of
their artillery strength, which we had

chief of artillery. ,{r s.5"
"Our maps of their forts could not

For the next two weeks Marta's role
resolved itself into a kind of routine.
Their cramped quarters became .
refuge to Marta In the trial Of her
secret work under the very nose of
the stan. With little Clarissa Eileen,
they formed the only feminine society
in. the neighborhood. On sunshiny
days Mrs. Galland was usually to be
found in her favorite chair outside
the tower door; and here Minna set
the urn on a table at four-thirty as In
the old days. y -
S No. member Of the star was mofe
frequently, present at Martas teas
than Bouchard.. who was developing
his social instinct late in life by sit

others to do the talking while, he

grimly to his point.
He looked at Bouchard, and every
one began looking at Bouchard. 1.-THE
Gray tacticians had been outplayed by
their opponents, II their losses for the
ground gained exceeded calculations,
then It was good to have a scape-
goat for their professional mistakes.
Bouchard was Westerling's choice for
chief OF intelligence. His BLING 10y
atty was pleasing to his superior. VINO,
hitherto, had promptly silenced any
suggestion of criticism by repeating
that the defensive always appeafedsto
the offensive to be better Informed
than itself. But this time 'Westering
let the conversation run on without 2
word of excuse for his fayorite. IL.
Each fresh reproach from the stan.
whose opinion was the only god he
knew, was a dagger thrust to Bou-
chard. At night he had lain awake
worrying about the leak; by day he
had sought to trace it. only to find
every clew leading back to the, stan.
Now he was as confused In his shame
as sensitive schoolboy. Vaguely,
in his distress, he. heard Westerling
asking question, while he saw all
those eyes staring at him. ....

Engadir?' lid, - 49,

have died Of this disease, proper care
in the selection Of fresh stock and the
careful and intelligent use of hog chol-
era serum.
Hogs should be fed a balanced rar
ton consisting Of such materials as
corn and various corn products, bran,
wheat middlings. oil meal, tankage and
distillers' dried grains and, whenever
possible, they should be supplied with
forage crops, such as green alfalfa
or alfalfa hay. Hogs should be sup
piled with an abundance of pure. clean
water, plenty of shade in hot weather.
dry bedding, and airy. light, well ven
tilated hog houses.
Great care should be exercised In
the purchase Of new stock in order to
secure healthy. vigorous animals, free
from disease. In this connection, IL Is
we'll to bear in mind that hog cholera
has an incubation period lasting from
to 20 days, during which time the
animal may appear normal to all in
tents and purposes. Separate quar-
ters should be provided for the isola-
ton Of all newly-purchased animals,
where they may be kept from the rest
of the herd for period Of three weeks.
and kept under observation for any
symptom OF the disease that may ap-
pear.
Following an outbreak of hog chol-
era in herd, a thorough cleaning
l,.s-
quarters must be resorted to. Fire
and fresh air-slaked lime are the most
efficient agents for the destruction of
