CHAPTER xI.
The Thousandth Man.

1t had been new life to them, but
now 1t was all over. 1t was the last
evening of their week, and they were
spending it rather silently on
Blanche's balcony.
Il make it at least three hundred %
| said Cazalet, and knocked out a pipe
that might have been a gag. "You
see, we were very seldom under fifty!"
Speak for yourself, please! My
longevity's a tender point" said
Blanche, who looked as though she
had no business to have her hair up,
as she sat in pale cross-fire between
a lamppost and her lighted room.
CaZalet protested that he had only
meant their mileage in the car; he
made himself extremely ineligible
now, as he often would when she raj
lied him in a serious voice.
well, it's been a heavenly time"
she assured him just once more. "And
tomorrow it's pretty sure to come all
right about Scruton, isn't it?"
"Yes! Tomorrow we shall probably
have Toye back" he answered with
grim inconsequence.
What has that to do with it, Wal
teri"
"Oh, nothing. of course"
But still his tone was grim and
heavy, with a schoolboy irony that he
would not explain but could not keep
to himself. So Mr.. Toye must be
turned out of the conversation, though
it was not Blanche who had dragged
him in. She wished people would
stick to their point.
There's one thing I've rather want
ed to ask YOU" she began.
"Yes?" said Cazalet.
you said the other day that IL
would mean worry for you in any case
after tomorrow-whethert the charge
is dismissed or mott"
His wicker chair creaked under
him.

sisted, "lf the case falls through"

had to say. -
Surely you mean just the other
way about? If they commit the man
for trial, then you do come In, know.
It's like your goodness.
Il wish you wouldn't say that! It
hurts mel"
Then will you explain yourself?
It's not fair to tell me so much, and
then to leave out just the bit that's
making you miserable!"

SET ADRIFT BY ILLUSIONS
Young Mortal Allows Himself to BE
swayed by Conditions That Sur
round Him.

There is no chance and no anarchy
In the universe. Every god is there

He fancies himself in a vast crowd,
which sways this way and that, and
whose movements and doings he must
obey; he fancies himself poor, or.
phaned, insignificant. The mad crowd
drives him hither and thither, now fu-
riously commanding this thing to be
done, now that. What is he that he
should resist their will and think on
himself? Every moment new changes
and new showers of deceptions to baf-
fie and distract him. And when. by
and by, for an instant, the air clears
and the cloud lifts a little, there are
the gods still sitting around him on
their thrones-they alone with him

nave rushed In, anyhow. And It'll be
time enough to put Scruton under obli-
cations when I've got him offl"
Blanche looked at the troubled eyes
avoiding hers, and thought that she
had never heard of a fine thing being
done so finely. This very shamefaced-
ness appealed to her intensely, and yet
last night Charlie had said that old
Sweep was in such tremendous spirits
about it all! Why was he SO down
this morning?
She only knew she could have taken
his hand, but for a very good reason
why she could not She had even to
guard against an equivocally sympa-
thetic voice or manner, as she asked,
How long did they remand him for?"
Eight days"
We'll, then, you'll know the best or
the worst today week!".
"Yes!" he said eagerly, almost him
self again. But, whichever way 1t
goes, I'm afraid it means trouble for
me, Blanche; some time or other I'll
tell you why; but that's why I want
this to be the week of our lives"
So he really meant what he had said
before. The phrase had been no care
less misuse of words; but neither,
after all, did it necessarily apply to
Mr.. Toye. That was something. It
made 1t easier for Blanche not to ask
questions.
Cazalet had gone out on the bal
cony; now he called to her; and there
was no taxi, but a smart open car,
waiting in the road, its brasses blazing

New pehnItIon.

"The study of etymology," says the
Philadelphia Record, causes no end
Of trouble among that class Of school
children whose knowledge of English
is limited to words which figure in the
ordinary street conversation, and
many curious results have followed.
The custom usually observed by the
teachers is to require such a definition
of the word, then its derivation, and
finally sentence in which the word
is properly used. The word ''ligament"
fell to the lot of a rather diffldent boy
recently. He defined it properly as "a
band" but followed up the correct
derivation with this remarkable sen-
tence: Il was wakened up last night
by hearing a brass ligament going
down the street."

EARLY WINTER LAYING HENS
Can Be Accomplished by Early Hatch.
Ing and Proper Feeding Of PuIIets
In Early Fall.

Late hatched pullets rarely lay until
the middle Of the winter or early
spring. Chickens should be hatched in
April or May if they are expected to
furnish eggs in the late fall or early
winter. The season in some localities
is quite short, and IL is often difficult
to get fully matured pullets before
winter sets in. This can be done, how.
ever, by early Matching and proper
feeding Of the pullets during the late
summer and early fall. If the pullets
do not receive their proper growth by
the first of November and show signs
of laying, it is doubtful whether they
will lay to any extent until the follow.
ing spring.
The cockerels should be separated
from the pullets as soon as possible,
thus giving pullets plenty Of oppor.
tunity to develop size. II they are al.
lowed to mix indiscriminately with
the old hens and cockerels, they are
liable to be stunted in growth, as it is
impossible for them to get their proper
allowance Of feed. Keeping them out
on the range, separated from the rest
OF the flock, is the best method OF
handling them.

ing to Martha unless something was
coming of It," She had just sense
enough to keep her conditional clause
to herself
| Yet IL they were only out to enjoy
themselves, In the way Miss Blanche
vowed and declared (more shame fol-
her), they certainly had done wonders
Tor q start. Martha could hardly
credit all they said they had done
and as an embittered pedestrian there
was nothing that she would put past
one Of those nasty motors. 1t said
very little for Mr.. Cazalet, by the way,
In Martha's private opinion, that he
should take her Miss Blanche out in
car at all; II he had turned out as
well as she had hoped, and meant
anything" nice boat on the river
would have been better for them both
than all that tearing through the air
In a cloud Of smoky dust; 1t would
also have been much less expensive,
and far more 'the thing"
But, there, to see and hear the child
after the first day! She looked so
bonny that for a time Martha really
believed that Mr.. Cazalet had "spo-
KEN" and allowed herself to admire
him also as he drove of later with his
wicked lamps alight. But Blanche
would only go on and on about her
day, the glories of the Ripley road and
the grandeur of Hindhead. She had
brought back heaps of heather and
punches of leaves just beginning to
turn; they were all over the little
house before Cazalet had been gone
ten minutes. But Blanche hadn't for
gotten her poor old Martha; she was
not one to forget people, especially
when she loved and yet had to snub
them. Martha's portion was picture
postcards of the Gibbet and other land
marks of the day.
And If you're good" said Blanche,
you shall have some every day, and
an album to keep them in forever and
ever. And won't that be nice when
it's all over, and Mr.. Cazalet's gone
back to Australian"
Crueler anticlimax was never
planned, but Martha's face had
brought it on her; and now it re-
mained to make her see for herself
what an incomparably good time they
were having.
Above all was it delightful to feel
that their beloved car was waiting for
them outside, to whirl them where
they liked; for quite early in the
week (and this was a glaring aggra-
walton in Martha's eyes) Cazalet had
taken lodgings for himself and driver
in those very Nell Gwynne Cottages
where Hilton Toye had stayed before
him.

A Good Snort.

The whole family was downstairs
watching a magnificent thunderstorm
when the mother suddenly remem.
bered about little Marie. who was
alone in the nursery and might have
awakened and became frightened. She
slipped away to quiet her.
At the door she paused, and a vivid
flash of lightning illuminated the whole
room. Little Marie, who had been to
the ball game that day with her big
brother, was sitting up in bed clap
ping her hands with excitement and
shouting:

Whose is that, Sweep?"
Mine, for the week Pm talking

buck up and get ready to come out!
A week doesn't last forever, you
know!"
Blanche ran off to Martha, who
fused and hindered her with the best
Intentions. 1t would have been diff
cult to say which was the more ex-
cited of the two. But the old nurse
would waste time in perfectly fatuous
"reminiscences of the very earliest ex-
petitions in which Mr.. Cazalet had
led and Blanche had followed. and
what a bonny pair they had made
even then, etc. Severely snubbed on
that subject, she took to peering at
her mistress, once her BARN, with fur
tive eagerness and impatience; for
Blanche, on her side, looked as though
she had something on her mind, and,
indeed, had made one or two attempts
to get 1t of. She had to force it even
in the end.
There's just one thing want to
say before / go, Martha. You know
when Mr.. Toye called yesterday, was
out?"
"oh, Mr.. Toye; yes, remember,
Miss Blanche"
We'll, don't want you to say that
he came in and waited half an hour
In vain; in fact, not that he came
in at all, or that you're even sure YOU
saw him, unless. of course, you're
asked"
Who should ask me, wonder?"
We'll, don't know, but there seems
to be a little bad blood between Mr..
Toye and Mr.. Cazalet."
Martha looked for a moment as
though she were about to weep, and
then for another moment as though
she would die of laughing, But a
third moment she celebrated by max
ing an utter fool Of herself as she
would have been told to her face by
anybody but Blanche, whose yellow
hair was being disarFanged by the
very hands that had helped to impris.

"oh, Blanche, is that all you have
to tell me?" said Martha.
And then the week of their lives be-

have been. They were not making
