"A Monsieur Duquesne."
Mrs. Carmac wrinkled her smooth forehead.

pause "But there is nothing unusual in that.

Raymond does not meet ones ideal of a Marian"
At that Yyonne constrained to smile.
Neither she the woman who dismissed Ray
mond and Duquesne so hippantly could guess
what sinister influences lurked behind the associ-
alton of those two men. An astrologer would have
found something ominous in that haphazard ref
erence to the planetary harbngers of disaster,
Saturn and Mars, and, oddly enough, half
thought of this sort did fit through Yvonne's
mind, because she often found amusement and
interest during the mild and clear winters of
Brittany in reading the armament from a stellar
atlas and there was hardly a constellation in the
northern heavens she could not name at sight

fvonne was so visbly relieved that Popple's

Poppe lost no time. Mrs. Carmac was explain

box, when porter entered and dumped a rust

CHAPTER XII.
Wherein Both the Reef and Mr.. Raymond Yield
Information.

Information.
Yvonne was looking forward to Raymonds re-
turn from Quimperle with ill-concealed rest
lessness that drew a sympathetic inquiry from
her mother.
Are you still fretting about Madeleine?" she
said.
This solictude was not feigned but it centred
wholly in Yvonne. The folly stupidity of some
pert village maid whom she had never either seen
or cared to did not interest Mrs. Carmac in
the least. Had she voiced her real feeling in the
matter she would have condemned her daughters
lack of proportion. During half lifetime she
had dwelt among the elect To her it was quite
immateria whether or not Madelene's career was
ruined. Nor was this pose on her part
She had trained herself to think that way. Yet,
so sharply may deeds clash with personal in
cination, both she and Walter Carmac were noted
for their philanthropy. She strove to do good,
but not by stealth. She could lecture Rupert
Fosdyke with genuine zeal; but, while seeking to
reform the victimizer, she had little pity for the
victim. From her point of view, Madeleine was
one of fixed percentage of girls who rebelled
against the social law OF course, one tried to
reduce their number, but it almost bad form
TO wear ones heart out because the expected hat
happened.
Yvonne, though she would not have cared to pu'
her impressions into words, was aware of this
attitude her mothers part, and it saddened
her inexpressibly. At such moments seemingly
impas sable gulf yawned between them Made
leine had been her trusted associate since they
were babies together, toddling up the hill in con
voy of some older girl to the kindergarten class
in the convent. She knew that her friend
pure minded and warm hearted. Nothing could
have shocked her greatly the discovery that
a man like Rupert Fosdyke should have succeeded
in So brief a time in undermining the moral
structure that Brittany builds so solidly In its
folk.
81 shall never fretting about her." she
answered If by some cruel chance Mr.. Ray
monds friend fails me, ! am minded to ask my
father to come with TO Paris tomorrow.
Madeleine will not resist me il once we are
brought face to face"
"Your father has far too much sense" said Mrs.
Carmac composedly.
"Oh. please don't talk in that strain. l cannot
bear it," pleaded the girl.

at the facts squarely? am surprised that Mr..

HEN MATCHES BROOD
OF TURKEYS: ADOPTS
QUAIL BROOD OF I

There is Il hen ON the S. f. Skinner
ranch that has a decided maternal in
stinet.
Some weeks ago she displayed in
dications Of wanting to set, but in
-lead Of allowing her to hatch a brood
Of chickens, the nest was filled with
turkey eggs.
The hen brooded on the large eggs,
all through the hottest weather, re-
manning faithfully at her post until
the eggs began to crack and the first
infant turkey pecked its way persist
entity through the shell.
At last the day came when the last
egg had yielded its fuzzy burden and
the hen stepped proudly forth from
the nest with her brood of turkeys.
But the physical makeup Of a young
turkey differs from that of Il chick
and the hen was perpleXed. She eyed
her progeny askanee, but the brood
answered her calls as readily as had
they been chickens. So she accepted
the turkeys as her own and watched
over them as carefully as if no dis
orepancy existed over the broods she
lad been accustomed to rearing.
The turkeys recently achieved the
age where they evinced a livelier inter-
est in bugs and were just beginning
to forage for themselves when the hen
acquired an addition to her charges.
The hen and her young turkeys
were scratching for food in field
when the old hen heard series Of
mournful cheeps that resembled the
bitch her own brood should have had.
She cucked vigorously and a small
bush near by yielded tiny quail who
Joined the hen with every assurance
ethat they would be accepted.
The hen during the first few days
after her second charges had adopted
her displayed some signs of being
puzzled, but the strangeness has worn
off now and the hen is caring for
the quail with the same solicitude as
she is for the turkeys.
Those who have seen the strange
family say that the quail display not
the slightest indication of fear and
there is every reason to believe that
they will grow up to be as tame as the
turkeys. "a ala IN s.

San Bernardino, Aug. ll.-That he
can see no chance for immediate peace
in Mexico under the existing con-
ditions. was the assertion today Of
Col Epes Randolph, president OF the
Southern Pacific company Of Mexico,
who is spending a few days at the
Arrowhead hotel in company with
William Sulzer. The impeached gov
ernor Of New York.

one of the present contendng fac
tions would bring about peace in the
country to the south about as quickly
rs anything could" Colonel Randolph
said, but this seems remote pos
sibility just at present. believe,
however, that the Villa and Carranza
factions should be allowed to fight it

Colonel Randolph said that fully
200 miles of the 1900 miles Of rail-
road owned by his company in Mex
leo is either destroyed or in such con-
dition that it cannot be used
"Once peace is assured he added.
we will send an army of workmen
into the country and will repair this
damage as rapidly as possible
Colonel Randolph predicted great
prosperity for the United States dur
ing the coming year, and especially
for California, which, he asserted, is
the coming state of the Union. He
said he based his prediction on gen.
eral conditions throughout the coun-
try, with which he is extremely well
