Warren hadn't / better pack this
aiternoou?" said Helen as they stroll
ed into the lobby and Warren dropped
iazily into an easy chair.
We'll. this weather makes you fee
like lolling around" he remarked
What on earth do YOU have to pack
so soon for? We're not going till to-
morrow"
Il know, dear. but there's no need
of waiting for the last moment to dc
things, and | hate to be hurried
''All right, go alons-and. for heav-
ems sake, don't pack the clothes I'm
going to wear"
Helen laughed as she got up to go
Il promise. dear" she said laughingly
Warren looked after her as she
walked slowly upstairs. Helen had
learned to accept the heat philosoph-
ically and to take her time about do
ing things, and consequently she had
not minded the heat at all for several
days. Besides, Warren had noticed 4
change in her that puzzled him lit
tie. She did not worry him with de-
tails as much as she used to, and
every man at the port was crazy about
her. He had taxed her with it sew
eral times and she had denied il
lauGhingly.
Somehow she seemed different. and
anything that was not easily under
stood worried Warren. He wasn't the
kind of man who liked the mysterious
and aloof woman in fact, he wasn't
the kind of man who wanted his love
TO bother him.
Helen proceeded along the corridor
and just because she was happy she
picked up Winifred and kissed her in
her warm scented little neck. Winifred
squealed with pleasure. Helen put her
down with an Injunction to help moth
oh
pleasure as Winifred trotted back and
forth with her arms filed with clothes
from the bureau.
She began to fold things and place
them on the bed. All her filmy lin
gerie and Winitred's little underwear
were placed in the trunk first with the
shoes and the heavy coats. Then came
her own dresses and Warren's clothes.
Warren had bought a linen suit and q
Panama nat, and had worn nothing
else since he had been there, and now
Helen brought the suit he had worn
down, out of the closet and hung 1t up
on the door.
She wondered if Warren would like
to have it pressed and decided to
telephone down to the office and have
them ask Warren to come to the tele-
phone. Just at that moment the bell
rang, and Helen ran over to answer it.
Hello. dear. l was just going TO
send down for you. Do YOU want your
suit pressed before we go on the
steamer"
I thought so" as Warren assented.
I'll have it sent right down. Go for
a drive, why that would be lovely. /
thought you had to go TO Gatun on
business. All right If YOU want to be
bothered with us. I'm going to send

Helen turned and slipped Winifred's

elastic under her chin.

dark stormy DAYS when the muslin
curtains are down.
For the poultry keeper who rears
more than several hundred cmckS our
ing the season, a different system must
be used. There are now two systems
in general use on the large poultry
farms. The older of the two is the
long brooder house with its hot water
system; the other is the long broouer
house with the newer coal or oil burn7
ing big hoVers Both have advocates
and both improved systems have ac-
good work. The third, but
as vet not so much in general use, is
the colony system. The coal or OIL
and in some cases gas, is used Tor
large heater stoves, placed in big
colonyhouse brooding from 2OV 10
/ 500 chicks at one time. This last
system has much to recommend 1t, IN
.asuuch as il gives the required heat
with plenty of ventilation in quarters
where growing chicks can he accom-
modated until artificial heat is no
longer required.
End of Brooder Days
II is a well-inown fact that brooder
chicks must sooner or later be taken
from the brooderhouse, the time de-
pending largely on the chlGk ana tir1e
of the year All brooder chicks, to do
their best must be taken from the
brood derhouse to the colony system on
free range 1t is here the colony brood
ing system shows advantage. The
chicks are obtaining the proper heat
and above all a better ventilation than
ever secured under the old pipe sys-
tenn. Each chick can seek its own de-
gree of heat. 1t need not be too warm
or too cold. In the colonyhouse there
is plenty of room and when properly
there are no draughts. The
cost is less than in the long brooder

turned back to her packing. If War
ren wanted to go driving there would
not be time for very much packing.
Perhaps she had better let it go until
night. Warren hated to wait, al
though he never minded making other
people wait for him.
| The Strange Letter Again Comes to
View
She picked up the suit of clothes
and began to take the things out of
the pockets There were two hand
kerchiets. a knife, a little change and
some letters. She threw them idly
on the bed, and as she did the under
letter fell out and lay on the coun-
.terpahe uncovered. Even from where
she was standing Helen could see the
postmark Hindale. n. j., and the
feminine Superscription. She Won
dered IL the perfume were still cling
ing to it, and her hands grew cold
and her breath grew short as she
thought of it. The boy knocked at
the door and she handed him the suit
and closed the door with a bang. Then
she went over TO the bed and picked
up the letter. Certainly she had "a
right to read it, she argued to her
self. and yet she hated to pry into
Warren'S affairs.
suppose it was from a woman and
the kind of a letter she was afraid
II was, would it make her any hap
pier to read it? No, she would be
utterly miserable and she knew 1t.
Helen was honorable. more so than
the average woman, but then she had
been very unhappy about the letter
1t had shadowed her entire trip and
there We're times when she could not
get 1t out of her mind. Somehow. to
know the worst even if it were hor-
rible, would set her mind at rest.
and with sudden determination she
slipped the single sheet of paper out
OF the envelope. The letter read:
Dear Warren - Out here | have
been trying to bury my identity as
much as possible. So far l have not
had any luck with the thing YOU asked
me - undertake, but / shall hope to
have better news for you soon. Even
in country town there seems to be
plenty of hiding places and more than
enough prying fingers and big ears.
Yours.
RUTH BLACK"
Helen looked up with her face
mixture of puzzled relief At least.
1t wasn't a love letter. but what was
the mystery and the thing Warren
had asked her to undertake. and why
did she call him Warren? II was all
mystery TO any one but those con-
cerned. and Helen reflected that the
letter was written as il was on pur-
pose to defy detection. She tied the
letters up as they were and placed
them on the chiffonfer. and then she
picked up her hat and veil and went
slowly down stairs
Il left the letters that We're in your
pocket on the chiffonier. dear" she
said. watching him closely.
"All right, did YOU finish packing?
You were up there long enough to
pack for whole army. Come on:
we haven't so much time, and this IS
our last afternoon"

ing series will appear here soon)

house and the capacity of the brooder
greater. The chicks may have unlim-
tied run if desired. The colonyhouse
is one that can be moved to new
ground If found necessary. whereas
the long brooderhouse was stationary.
There is no danger of sour runs and
it seems to be the ideal system for the
one-man or the two-man plant.
Large CoIonyhouses
The smaller brooder stoves will fit
nicely in the SX10-ft. colonyhouse with
7-foot high front and 5-foot high
rear: loft. by loft. and 12-ft. by
12-ft colonyhouses are also used with
good results. The cost of these col
onyhouses is not great. The popular
eft. by S-ft. is manufactured by sew
eral firms who make a speciality in
poultryhouses and they can be pur-
chased from SIS to $40 fully equipped.
The larger SIT. by loft. and 12X12-ft.
can be purchased from $25 to $50.
These are not cheap makeshift poul-
tryhouses but whether bought or built
for that money should last long time.
especially if painted. To stand the
weather test, all poultry buildings,
when not covered on the outside with
some of the prepared roofing papers,
should have at least two coats of good
paint applied.
All pOultrS Keepers seem 10 nave
their hobbies as to the proper kind
of a poultryhouse to use and when
the average beginner sees so many
different styles advocated he is often at
a loss as to which one to adopt or as
to which brooding system is best for
him.
All have some good points. but none
has as many good points combined as
the shed roof colonyhouse. Both from
an economic standpoint as well as
practical, this style of house is becom-

for the best product of each OF the
several varieties of Orpingtons.
OF these the single comb white Or
pingtons attained the greatest popu-
larity. and, indeed. for time they
were bred on a broader scale than
any of our American varieties. They
are extremely heavy producers OF large
tinted eggs. The chicks make excel
lent table fowls from broiler size Is

These fowls are really excellent gem
eral purpose fowls-great layers and
good producers in winter. when eggs
are high. The chicks are rapid grow
ers and of fine flesh making, really
delicious table fowls and, when full
grown, weigh from . Y to s II pounds
for females and Z Y to 8 u pounds for
males. and often more. They make
excellent capons. are docile and easily
confined. Tests have shown that white
Orpingtons are profitable either as
farm flock with unlimited range or for
the small backyard flock, where the
ground space is necessarily small.

Solving Brooding Question

The brooding question can be solved
by knowing the number of chicks to
be reared and the systems depend
largely upon the number of chicks to
be hatched and reared. The outdoor
brooder has its use, especially during
late Spring, when weather conditions
are apt to be fine. but when the fact
is taken into consideration that when
the artificial heat is no longer required
the growing chicks must be quartered
in the colonyhouse, the economic
proposition is in favor of the indoor
brooder, placed in the colonyhouse in
which the chicks can grow to matur-
ity without change and in which the
operator can more easily attend to the
chicks in bad weather With the col
onyhouse system, they have more room
and surely better ventilation. Novices
can depend on these systems to do
good work if properly handled with the
improved incubator. With the i'm
provement in brooder construction and
commercial poultryhouses now on the
market, supplied as cheaply or more
so than if homemade, there seems no
good reason for the beginner to resort
to the fussy hen as either a hatcher
or a rearer of future winter egg pro-
ducers. If the poultrykeeper has not
solved the mystery of incu baton the
day-old chick can be sent to his door
in good shape, to be placed in the up
to-date brooder and reared success
fully.

HOW TO SUCCEED
RAISING POULTRY

The beginner in poultry raising
has many lessons to learn. He
must realize 1t Is a business the
same as any other money making
proposition. 1t requires capital,
experience and knowledge before
it can be conducted on a scale large
enough to pay.
This should not discourage any
one from undertaking 1t. If you
have an aptitude for the work you
can succeed at it, But work is es-
sential to success. Read next weeks
article on the subject. 1t will ap-
pear next week exclusively in the
