CHAPTER XIX.
The Man In Rags.

The Marquise d'Esclignac, under the
stars, interviewed the native soldier,
the beggar, the man in rags, at the
foot of the veranda. There was a moon
as we'll as stars, and the man was dis
tinctly visible in all his squalor.
What on earth is he talking about,
Robert?"
about Sabron, marianne" said her
godson laconically.
The Marquise d'Esclignac raised her
lorgnon and said:
Speak, mani What do you know
about Monsieur de Sabron? See, he is
covered with dirt-has leprosy, proba-
bly," But she did not withdraw. She
was a great lady and stood her ground.
She did not know what the word
"squeamish" meant.
Listening to the mans jargon and
putting many things together, fremont
at last turned to the Marquise DIES
clignac who was sternly fixing the beg
gar with her naughty condescension:
Marianne. he says that Sabron Is
alive, in the hands of natives in a Ger.
tain district where there is no travel
in the heart of the seditious tribes. He
says that he has friends in a caravan
of merchants who once a year pass
the spot where this native village Isl

anything about 1t, we must use his II

"Of course" said the Marquise d'Ei

'He has explained" said Tremon
that the only way Sabron can b

"ohi" said the Marqulse d'Esci7gnac
II don't know what TO DO Bob! What
part can we take IN thisf"
fremont pulled his mustache. Mimi
had circled round the beggar, shutting
at his slippers and robe. The man
made no objection to the little crea-
ture, to the fluffy ball surrounded by a
huge bow. and Mimi sat peacefully
down in the moonlight, at the beggar's
feet.
Mimi seems to like him." said the
Marquise d'Esclignac helplessly, 'she
is very particular"
"She finds that he has a serious and
convincing manner" said fremont.
Now the man, who had been a silent
listener to the conversation, said in
fairly comprehensive English to the
Marquise d'Esclignac:
eff the beautiful grandmother could
have seen the Capitaine de Sabron on
the night before the battle"
Grandmother, indeed!" exclaimed
the marquise Indignantly. Come,
Mimi! Robert, finish with this creature
and get what satisfaction you can from
him. l believe him to be an impostor;
at any rate, he does not expect me to
mount camel or to lead caravan to
the rescue"
fremont put Mimi in her arms; she
folded her lorgnon and sailed majestic

A little fiaxseed meal OF linseed oil
meal added to their feed helps the
growth of feathers and gives bright,
healthful and glossy appearance to
their plumage. The care of the birds
during summer has a wonderful in
fluence upon the number of eggs the
older hens will lay during the winter.

Anta :. sterIllzer.

Many schemes have been deveIbped
for Kidding clothing Of soldiers OF
vermin, as substitutes for the rem6.ay
used in peace times--simple cleanli-
ness. Gasoline or kerosene rubbed
into the seams is the favorite idea.
A member of the French Academy 81
Medicine, however, has reported q
simpler scheme, which is good during
warm weather.
The soldier is directed to take of
his clothing and lay 1t on an ant hill.
The ants will soon discover the hiding
places OF the lice and capture them
with enthusiasm.

CARING FOR FARM POULTRY
Abundant Supply Of Pure Water, Grit
and Charcoal Should BE Provided
for Flock in Summer.
By r. G. wEATHERsToNE)

10y " w LA AOINb.)
During summer we should provide
an abundance of pure water, grit and
charcoal for the farm flock. Keep the
houses cool at night and we'll ven
tilated at all times when the fowls are.
kept inside. Wheat, oats and mash
feed once day makes an excellent
supply of feed during the warm
weather.
Feed no musty and fermented feed.
A sour mash is highly injurious. Sour
milk may be used to moisten the
mash but no more should be mixed at
one time than the fowls will clean up
at one feeding.
Allow no feeds to accumulate in the
feed troughs. Feather eating among
hens is usually prevalent during sum-
mer. In some cases the feathers are
almost stripped from the neck Of the
birds and the flesh is lacerated with
the beaks and burned by the sun.
This habit is invariably caused by
lack of proper substance in the feed.
Prevention is better than cure, and
perfect health and vitality among the
flock should do this.
Old hens intended for the market
should always be sold early before
they begin to moult or else you will
be compelled to feed them three or
four months before they have COM
pleted a new set of plumage and look
fit to be sold as market poultry.
l have found nothing better than
to feed them sparingly with nitro
genous feeds until about the first week
in September and follow this with an

These people cross-question you as

The first part of The Gossip's con-
versation amused her. She had gone
through with all the struggle before
she gave The Man her promise. But
in her discussion concerning the mat
ter with either The Man or The
Mother the suggestion of The Gossip
had not entered.
Suppose there should be children!
The Mother had not suggested such
a possibility, and The Girl had been
too much absorbed in just loving The
Man to think of 1t. Her consent to
marry him had been merely matter
of personal concern. The heritage of
The Man had already touched him
with a ghostly finger, suggesting to
him that he was marked for other
things than marriage. But he was
young. The Girl was young, and had
so much of vital strength. They would
go away together to the heights and

erations of The Mans family?" ques-
toned The Gossip.
YES" answered The Mother of The
Girl quietly.
And The Girl knows?" probed the
visitor.
Eyes, she knows" came the even
tones of The Mother again.
"And you will not interfere?" went
on The Gossip, and before The Mother
had time to tell her that the life of
The Girl was her own to give or with
hold, the talker said:
Suppose there should be children"
And The Girl, reading in the next
room, heard.

The Man.
But suppose there should be chill
dren?" suggested The Gossip to The
Mother of The Girl.
The Girl pushed the idea aside and
went on reading in the next room, but
the words she had heard kept running
in between the printed lines of her
book.
She went for walk in the twilight
stiffness, and 1t seemed to her that
everywhere there were children,
healthy, splendid specimens, bubbling
over with life and happiness, and
every one that turned smiling face
to hers seemed accusing her of some
horrible thing she was about to do.
She called to see friend, and in q
friendly little chat tried to force The
Gossip's suggestion from her mind, but

AS the days went by and prepare
tions for The Girls wedding pro-
crossed the thought implanted in her
mind by The Gossip became as a plant
that stretched out its tendrils and
wove them into the wool Of The Girls
life, and so tenaciously did they cling,
and so fast did they grow that they
crowded out flowers Of thought like
rough and hardy weed, until they
filled The Girls conscious hours, and
Tapped over into her subconsciousness
haunting her dreams by night.
The invitations to the wedding were
in the house and The Girl and The
Man had spent a very happy evening
addressing them. The prospective
bride had gone to bed little less
troubled IN mind than had been hel
