CHAPTER XIV.
The Telegram.

the Tole0f1m.
This was the document and these
the words which Deborah. widow Of
the man thus doubly denounced. had
been given to read by the father Of
the writer. in the darkened room which
had been and still was to her. an abode
OF brooding thought and unfathomable
mystery
No wonder that during its reading
more than one exclamation Of terror
and dismay escaped her. There we're
10 many reasons for believing this
record to b IN absolute relation Of
the truth.
lncoherent phrases which had fallen
from those long-closed lips took on
new meaning with this unveiling Of
an unknown past. Repugnances for

old days. she now saw explained. He

tive to every eye but his own. As for
entering its gates-she had never

Then the watch! Deborah knew we'll

by what stroke Of luck he had got SO

veering back to her old idea ~ to his
responsibility for the crime com.
mitted in Dark Hollow? Yes: she could
not help It. Denial from a monster
like this-a man who with such memo
ries and such spoil. could return home
to wife and child, with some gay and
confused story Of . great stroke In
speculation which had brought him
in the price of the tavern it had long
been his ambition to own-what was
denial from such lips worth? The
Judge was right. Oliver-whose in.
genuous story had restored his image
to her mind. with some Of its old
graces-had been the victim Of circum.
stances and not John Scoville.
Her thoughts had reached this stage
and her hand. In obedience to the new
mood. was lightly ruffling up the pages
before her. when she felt light touch
on her shoulder and turned with a
start.
The Judge was at her back. How
long he had stood there she did not
know. nor did he say. but when upon
feeling his hand upon her shoulder she
turned, he was there; and while his
lips failed to speak. his eyes we're elo-
quent and their question single and im-
perative.

prepared BY the United States Depart
ment OF AEriculture.)
One Of the most common causes Of
poor quality of butter 10 the lack Of
immediate. thorough cooling Of the
cream after separation. Tho United
States department of agriculture has
made . careful Investigation Of con-
ditions existing on . large number Of
dairy farms where nrst-class cream II
produced. and the data obtained shows
that. II properly cooled. cream OF the
best grade can be produced with but
little extra labor or expense.
Dsirymen in certain parts of New
England are delivering practically all
their product to the creameries while
sweet. although the cream Is often
held on the farm from one to four
days In summer and from one to seven
days In winter. After It reaches the
creamery It 10 pasteurized and shipped
Q distance OF from 80 to 800 miles.
where It 10 sold in the form OF sweet
cream. These results are accomplished
BY the liberal use OF ice. nearly every
farmer having stored large quantities
n the winter for use in cooling milk
and cream the following summer.
These dairymen realize the import.
aAce Of the use OF ice and provide
themselves with Q suitable supply.
They have followed this practice for
several years, and most Of them have
provided . convenient source Of sup
ply, suitable houses for storing, and
Sce-water tanks for the immediate
cooling OF the milk or cream.
Some creameries accept any kind of
cream without regard to it, condition
when delivered. and pay the same
price for all grades Of cream. In some
dairy sections noted for the high quail.
ity Of butter produced, the operators
oe creameries have found that in order
to get the highest market price for
their butter It IL necessary to demand
. good. clean. raw product. and they
arc now grading all cream and paying
on quality basis. As q result the
producers are studying the situation
more closely, as they realize that they
must provide better facilities in caring
for their product. Many creamery
patrons who deliver sweet cream OBJ
ject to having 1t mixed with cream Of
Inferior grades, 20 they find 1t to their
advantage to deliver the product In
individual cans.
During the summer months It IL sell
dom possible to find ordinary well
water which will cool milk and cream
even to a. low . temperature as so
degrees Fahrenheit. It u apparent,
then, that some form of special cool
ing should be provided for this pur.
pose.
Satisfactory les-Water Tanks.
For the purpose Of securing informa.
tion from actual conditions, ice-water
tanks Of many different KINDS and
shapes, some with ond some without
insulation and tieht-fitting covers,
have been examined on more than 60
farms. The average temperature of
Milk and cream which was held in
these tanks was about 40 degrees

PLAN FOR CUTTING FIRewooD
Farmer oftsn Cuts Out Very Osse ~
Timber and Leaves poorsst-
Sssk Dead Trsee First.

Some farmers are very reckless In
tho manner in which they cut their
timber for drewood. Often the very
best Of the timber IL cut and the poor
est left in the woods. This IL mis-
take, and the. farmer should follow
. well-laid plan when getting up wood
for winter use.
He should seek all dead timber arst.
There will be great many trees that
have been broken by the storms and
their dead limbs will be on the ground.
Some trees will have been blown down
or will have fallen on account Of de-
cay. All the fallen timber should bo
gathered up first. This gives the wood
pasture . neat appearance and saves
the cutting of lot Of the good timber.
Then every dead tree should be taken
out.
II enough dead timber cannot be 60
sured for firewood, then the green
must be cut. Here a person should
exercise good judgment. All young
trees should be left, for they will grow
into large ones after . while. 1t is true
they are more easily chopped down
and more quickly chopped into wood,
but . man who pursues this policy 10
robbing himself Of f1rewood for the
future. Then all straight tall trees
that are fit for posts should be left.

LANNIN'S BIG WHINE

NEW YORK, Oct. 2-Boston's royal
rooters" will see the worlds series games
played in Philadelphia.
After much conversation, in which
threats were hurled back and forth. a
compromise was Aeached this afternoon
whereby President Lannin, of the Red
Sox, will be able to tell the rooters a
block of 800 seats will be waiting for
them in the Phillies' park.
Lannin had served an ultimatum de-
claring that unless President Baker, OF
the Phillies, gave him the seats desired
he would declare the series off.
Under the peace pact this is the way the
800 seats will be gathered together:
Boston will get the regular number
of 200 tickets, to which each club is en-
titled in the foreign" park.
President Baker viii give up 100 of his
allotment.
The National Commission will also
give up" turning over 100 or 200 seats
TO the Boston cause, and President
Lannin probably will purchase a block OF
100 extra tickets himself. which will be
placed at the disposal of the Boston
fans.

Southpaw Wins From District

Bill Nusbickel Out

OTHER BOXING COMMENT

Willie Moore, Southwark's hard-hitting
southpaw, succeeded in shading Tommy
Howell. of the same district. by earning
the better of the finsl round in the wind
up Of a good show at the National A. G.
last night. Both boys, punching hard
and fighting at a fast pace, answered the
gong for the last round with honors even.
Moore clinched honors in the first, fourth
and sixth rounds, and Howell showed up
better in the third and fifth sessions,
while the second was even.
Because of Howelrs wildness he missed
several vicious right and left hand
punches, which, had they landed on a
vulnerable spot, would have knocked
Willie off his feet, If not down for the
ten" count When Tom missed, Moore
counted with stift right jabs to the face
and left wallops to the head and body
In the very first round Howell was on the
verge OF a knockout as the result of a
terrific left-hand uppercut to the chin,
but he clinchsd and the bell came to his
rescue.
Fred Jordan, the big sailor heavy
weight, made his professional debut in
combat with Lengthy Joe Rosen and,
although outpointed by a shade, the tar
proved he is a promising fighter. Kid
Sheeler outslugged Henry Hauber in a
hard-fought battle; Benny Kaufman won
from Lew Singer in six rounds, and Steve
Ketchell knocked Mickey McCabe out in
two minutes and 30 seconds OF the first
round. Singer substituted for Willie
Jones and put up a remarkable fight
against Kaufman.
Because of business reasons, Billy Nus
