ICE MAKING APPARATUS

Every farmer can have his own ice
plant at cost of from S13 to $50, if
he will use the apparatus described in
a new bulletin just issued by D. J. d.
Walters, professor CT architecture in
The Kansas Agricultural College.
The ice plant is made of galvanized
iron and consists of double tank
with a inner tank Of about 10 feet
long by feet wide and IL inches
deep. The top of the tank should be
slightly wider than the bottom. The
inner tank should be divided into six
compartments by means of galvanized
iron strips.
This double tank should be placed
near an outdoor pump where the COM
partments can be easily filled with
water. Being exposed on all sidess
the water will freeze in from one to-
three hours. A bucket of hot water
poured into the space between the
tanks will loosen the cakes so that
they may be removed. One freezing
will give 5 cakes of ice each weigh
ing 120 lbs. Fourteen freezings will
yield tons of pure ice, or enough to-
last an average family for a year.
The cakes of ice can be packed away
in sawdust in the cellar as they are
frozen.

These two spies will be brought here
to the dock just before the ship sails.
There is some confusion-but they get

safe. Very good, the vessel sails. She
is a; sea ore day, two days. Then all
at once there is hue and cry-stowa-
ways discovered-two OF them. Very
well. that is all. They tell their story,
but the captain of the ship thinks
them to be stowaways, and nothing
else. They have the look Of such. As
such they will be landed in due time
at New York. Their passage money
is paid not to the ship but to you
yourselves-more than you would
make for six months wages. And be
sides that, you have done good serv-
ice to our country, which is far more
friendly to your own, my hearties,
than that America to which these
spies must be deported. What say
you, then? 1t is a bargain?"
1t seemed that it was to be bar

He knew of such an instance nova
vessel of sorts was lying loaded and
almost ready to sail. Perhaps chance
would favor him.
He made his way across the crowded
docks to the gangway of the steamer;
but he sought no converse with the
captain or the purser of the ship. In
stead he beckoned to him one or two
deck stewards, whom he selected after
a quick look as countrymen of a land
he knew.
See here, my good men," said he
when he had them aside. "As l fancy
we are all interested in making money
is it not true?"
A grin made the answer of the two
sailors, who stood expecting some gra.
tuity.
The gratuity came-it fell into their
hands-in gold-and in large pieces!
They stood dumfounded and speech
less for the moment, but Sachio went
on:
Listen, men," said he. There are
two spies here in the city, man and
young woman. They are dangerous
to our country. They are our pris-
oners-we took them in the assault
on Gretzhoffen in the recent war be-
tween these two countries. They are
both Americans. l know how much
your country loves Americans-you
can guess how much love them"
True, true,' said one of the men.
"That is right. We know them
those Americans"
Precisely" resumed the nobleman.
Now, we must get these spies out of
this country secretly. They refuse to
take passage. Very well-we will
book it for them then. And see, l
pay you the passage money instead
of paying 1t to the ships purser.
Somewhere in the hold you could
watch them. could you not, men?
None will be the wiser, and you will
be the richer. What then, my
hearties?"

upon Kitty's guards with such des

were scattered and helpless. A mo

ing some exit from the palace walls.
The hue and cry followed them now
Almost they had escaped, but not
quite. Even at the great door of the
palace itself they were apprehended
by yet other armed men. Once more
they were brought before the king.
SO 1t seems we have two incor
rigibles," commented that monarch
coldly as he faced Roleau and Kitty
still painting. This man, as you
know, Sachio, is far more dangerous
than his accomplice here. She is dan.

has hesitated at nothing-not even
murder. What shall we do with him p

islaw, imperiously.
Sachio therefore now had his task.
But how to achieve it was his ques.
ton. He knew well enough he could
not oblige either Kitty or Roleau to
book passage across the ocean unless
they so desired.
Attend to these two, lieutenant,
said he to the officer of the guard.
Keep them safe until / return"
He fastened now as rapidly as he
might to the water front, where at the
somewhat restricted docks of Grahof-
fen an occasional ocean liner touched.

Travel lncoqnito.

Roleau paced his narrow cage like
some restless wild beast, some half
formed plan in his mind. The time
was at hand for his guards to bring
him his midday food. He heard them
approaching before long, four of them,
all careless, singing some ribald ditty
of the line and trench. He saw them
open his door and enter, putting down
the basin which held his meager prison
fare. 1t was enough! The door of the
cell was open.
With a leap and snarl Of rage the
powerful man was upon the guards
striking, wrestling, assailing here and
there with such violence and such skill
that soon the four were much at his
mercy, taken altogether by surprise as
they had been. Once more holiness
