CHAPTER u.
The Yelled Woman,


The intensity of the question, the
compelling, self-forgetful passion Of
the man. had startling effect upon
the crowd Of people huddled before
him. With one accord, and without
stopping to pick their way, they made
for the open doorway, knocking the
smaller pieces of furniture about and
creating havoc generally. Some fed
the house; others stepped to peer in
again from behind the folds of the
curtain which had been only partially
torn from its fastenings. Miss Weeks
was the only one to stand her ground
When the room was quite cleared
and the noise abated lit was a fright
full experience to see how little the
Judge had been affected by all this
hubbub of combined movement and
sounG she stepped within the line Of
his vision and lifted her feeble and
ineffectual hand in an effort to attract
his attention to herself.
But he did not notice her, any more
than he had noticed the others. Still
looking in the one direction, he cried
aloud in troubled tones:
"She stood there! the woman stood
there and saw her! Where is she
now?"
she is no longer in the house."
came in gentle reply from the only one
IN or out Of the room courageous
enough to speak. "She went out when
she saw us coming. We knew that she
had no right to be here. That is why
we intruded ourselves, sir. We did
not like the looks Of her, and SO fol-
lowed her In to prevent mischief"
How dared you'll How dared shell"
Then as his mind regained its full
poise, "And how, even II you had the
temerity to venture an entrance here,
did you manage to pass my gates?
They are never open. Bella sees to
that"
AS she watched she saw his eyes,
fixed up to now upon her face, leave It
and pass furtively and with many hesi-
tations from object to object, toward
that spot behind him where lay the
source of her great terror. till finally.

No one in authority was present;
no one representing the law, not even
doctor; only haphazard persons from
the street and few neighbors who
had not been on social terms with the
judge for years and never expected
to be so again. His secret!-always a
source of wonder to every inhabitant
of Shelby, but lifted now into matter
of vital Importance by the events Of
negro! Were they to miss its solution,
when only door lay between it and
them-a door which they might not
even have to unlock? Miss Weeks
was about to utter an impassioned ap-
peal to their honor, when the current
Of her and their thoughts was changed
by sudden sense OF some strange
new influence at work in the room, and
turning. they beheld the Judge Upon
his feet, his mind awakened, but his
eyes still f1xed-an awesome figure;
some thought more awesome than be-
fore.
Death was present with them-he
saw it not. Strangers were making
havoc with his solitude-he was as
oblivious Of their presence rs he had
been unconscious of It before. His
faculties and all his attention were
absorbed by the thought which had
filed his brain when the cogs of that
subtle mechanism had slipped and his
faculties paused inert.

"And would this be so fatal to your

suggestion.
'It would be breach of trust which
would greatly disturb me. I want no
body on my grounds, nobody at all.
Has not my long life of solitude within

back Of his chair.

Although this was the company's

Some of the estancias which raise cat
tie for beef are now milking their
cows. In such cases the cattle are
given over to dafrymen, who take care
of the milk for percentage of the
profits. The cows will be divided up
into herds of from $50 to 200. and one
man may be in charge Of each herd.
The milk is taken to the factories or
creameries, and the dairymen get ABOUT
one-half the profits.
There are two large butter factories
in this country which are run as CO.
operative institutions. These are La
Argentina and Ell Progreso. La Ar
gentina works up the skim milk or
more than 100 creameries. and both 1t
and Ell Progreso are exporters of but
ter. I am told that there are num-
her of other dairies with from 1000 to
5000 cows, and that these include such
breeds as Shorthorns, Red Lincolns and
Red Poles, as well as the Dutch breeds.

to be good for beef as well as for milk.
