when it had been famous as a health
resort, but 1t was all changed nova
wreck. She looked at it a moment,
then, as she had nothing better to do,
approached it.
She advanced toward a window Of
the dining room and looked in.
Del Mar waited only until the last
straggler had passed. Then he dashed
off as fast as his horse would carry
him straight toward the deserted hotel
which served him as headquarters for
the supplies he was accumulating. AS
he rode up one of his sentries ap-
peared, as If from nowhere, and, see
ing who it was, saluted.
Here, take care of this horse" or
dered Del Mar, dismounting and turn
ing the animal over to the man, who
led him to the rear of the building as
Del Mar entered the front door, after
giving a secret signal.
There were his men in goggles and
masks at the work which his knock
had interrupted.
Give me a mask before | enter the
room" he ordered of the man who
had answered his signal.
The mar handed the mask and gog-
giles to him, as well as a coat, which
he put on quickly. Then he entered
the room and looked at the rapid
progress of the work.

Mar a moment later, satisfied at the
progress Of his men.

tenants indicated.
I'D like to take a look at him."
added Del Mar, just about to turn and
leave the room.
AS he did so he happened to glance
at n of the windows. There, peer
ms through the broken shutters, was
a face--a girls f~ace-Elaine!

went off, dashing across the.road into
a field in full chase after the hounds,
taking the fences and settling down
to a good half hours run over the
most beautiful country l have ever
seen.
The huntsman winded his horn and
mirthful shouts of Gone away!"
sounded in imitation of a real hunt.
Elaine was one OF the foremost. Her
hunter was n carefully trained, and
she knew all the tricks Of the game.
Somehow | got separated, at first,
from the rest and followed, until
finally caught up, and then kept be-
hind one Of the best riders.
Del Mar also got separated, but, as
/ afterward learned, by intention, for
he deliberately rode out of the course
at the first opportunity he had and let
Elaine and the rest of us pass without
seeing him.
Elaine's blood was up, but some
how, in spite Of herself, she went
astray, for the hounds had distanced
the fleetest riders and she, in an at
tempt at a short cut over the country
which she thought she knew so we'll,
went a mile or SO out of the way.
She pulled up in a ravine and looked
about. Intently she listened. There
was no sign Of the hunt. She was
hot and tired and thirsty and, at a
loss just how to join the field again,
she took this chance to dismount and
drink from a clear stream fed BY
mountain springs.
AS she did SO, floating over the
peaceful woodland air came the faint
strains of the huntsman's horn, far,
far off. She looked about, straining
her eyes and ears to catch the direc-
tion OF sound. Just then her horse
caught the winding of the horn. His
ears went erect, and without waiting
he instantly galloped off, leaving her.

1t was too late. She stopped and
looked dejectedly after him as he dis

the side of the ravine, slowly.
On she climbed until, to her sur
prise, she came to the ruins of an old

the window. "Now-get her!"
The men had sprung at his alarm
They could all see her and with one
accord dashed for the door. Elaine
sprang back and they ran as they saw
that she was warned. In genuine fear
she too ran from the window. But it
was too late.
For just then the sentry who had
taken Del Mars horse came from be-
hind the building, cutting off her re-
treat. He seized her just as the other
men ran out. Elaine stared. She
could make nothing of them. Even
Del Mar, in his goggles and breathing
mask, was unrecognizable.
Take her inside" he ordered dis
guising HIS voice. Then to the sentry
he added, Get on guard again and
don't let anyone through"
Elaine was hustled into the big de-
serted hallway of the hotel, just as
the tramp had been.
you may go back to work" Del Mar
signed to the other men, who went on,
leaving one short but athletic-looking
fellow with Del Mar and Elaine.
Lock her up, Shorty" ordered Del
Mar, and bring the other prisoner to
me down here"
None too gently the man forced
Elaine upstairs ahead of him.
In tho attic the tramp pacing up
and down, heard footsteps approach
on the stairs and enter the next room.
Quickly he ran to the doorway and
peered through the keyhole. There he
could see Elaine and the small man
enter. He locked the door to the hall,
then quickly took a step toward the
door into the tramp's room.
There was just time enough for the
tramp to see lis approach. He ran
swiftly and softly owe to the farther
corner and dropped down, as though
sound asleep. The key turned in the
lock and the small man entered, care
full to lock the door to Elaine's room.
He moved over to where the tramp
was feigning sleep.
Get up" he growled, kicking him.
The tramp sat up, yawning and rub
bling his eyes. Come now, be reason

SUSPECTS TUBERCULOSIS.

What are the first symptoms OF
tuberculosis in fowls?-Mrs. A. K,
Dunn County.
AS general rule about the only
symptom that we notice is that, al
though they continue to eat, the birds
usually got thin in flesh. For some
reason quite a good many of them
show symptoms of being lame. There
is no way that know that one could
tell from looking at a hen that she
has the tuberculosis. A careful post
norton examination, and many times
a laboratory examination, has to be
made before one can say for certain
that an individual is affected with the
disease. On pOst-mortem examination
we pra 3tically always find whitish
nodules in The liver, in the spleen,
and sometimes in the intestines-

buttermilk. Give this to them from
the time they are twenty-four hours
until they are seventy-two hours old.
We should prefer putting it in a small
drinking fountain so that they can
help themselves but cannot get into it
to spatter themselves seriously. When
the chicks are seventy-two hours old
give them any good grade OF chick
feed or a mixture of fine cracked
corn and fine cracked wheat, bread
crumbs, corn bread. or in fact, any
thing that is free from must and
mold that they will eat. You can make
good mash by feeding equal parts
of ground corn, bran and rolled oats.
If the chicks are raised in broodeIS
in rather large lots you will need to
use the dry feed that can be fed scat
tered III the litter, such as the chick
feed. Where the chicks are raised
with hens they can be given feed of
an entirely different character as they
will run out of the coOps and take
exercise of their own accord
If you will tell me more about how
you try to raise chicks / could per-
haps help you some. At least l should
be glad to try. G. Halpin.

WHAT ABOUT wATERGLAss.

Previous to this year we have al
ways prepared our winters store of
eggs by wrapping each one separate
ly in paper. This summer I read an
authority on using waterglass, or
liquid glass, for preserving them.
have since seen the same formula
quoted in various farm Journals and
home helps" columns so decided to
try it as it is much simpler than our
OH method. Since my decision a
party tells me that the process is not
satisfactory. that the waterglass taints
the EGGS and they do not keep we'll
Now the authority I was going to
follow states that the eggs will keep
satisfactorily for a year have never
tried this method nor am | personally
acquainted with anyone who has. so if
YOU can in any way assist me shall
be very grateful and shall await your
verdict before beginning my winter
packing-Mrs. J. r. NJ, Dane County.
We have found the waterglasa
method very satisfactory for preserv,
ing eggs. We put eggs down in April
and May when the supply is at a
maximum and the price the lowest
and find them entirely satisfa ct0ry for
cooking purposes during the season OF
greatest scarcity: that is. in the latter
part of November and December. vs.
have many dozen put down now in ara
experimental way using different soIv-
tions and other materials besides wa
terglass. as well as quite a good many
down in waterglass. To date we hava
found the waterglass method the most
satisfactor, but hope that we can find
something that will be cheaper and
just as good The essential thing in
putting eggs away is TO have them
fresh. from clean nests and kept cool
from the time they are produced un,
til they are put down. We last year
sold some of the waterglass eggs to
some of the most particular people
in Madison and asked them to use
them for cooking purposes and report
to us. The results were very salts
factory. You need to be careful that
the waterglass does not evaporate. if
it does evaporate then the eggs will
become musty.-James G. Halpin.

MANY HENS HAVE LIVER
TROUBLE

We are having trouble with our
hens. They seem to be in good health,
then in two or three days their combs
turn to a very deep red, almost pur-
pie. and they will not eat. They sit
around bumped up, and then die.
What is this disease. its cause and
cure? What is the best feed for young
chicks?-E. s.. Dane County.
From your description we conclude
that these hers are affected with
some sort OF liver trouble. Liver
trouble is very common among the
fowls and is not as we'll understood as
it should be The only sort of medi-
cinaI treatment that could be recon-
mended would be to give something
like two teaspoonfuls of castor oil to
each of the hens when it is first noted
that they are out Of condition. If the
aiver is seriously involved it would
usually pay to market the birds that
seem unusually fat rather than keep
them and run the risk. If some Of
these hens die | wish that you would
open them and write me a description
OF the appearance Of the liver and the
spleen and we will help you out in
any way that we can.
The best feed for young chicks. in
my estimation is elabberad milk or

Tricksey III and the bulls ST. John o.
West Grove 1897, Benjamin 1871,
Tricksey's Squire 2542, Muzzurka 1885
and Tricksey's Balboa 2840.
Her fourth calf, Benjamin, was pur'
chased by Mr.. George G. Hill Of Fond
du Lac county and kept as long as he
lived. He died at the Wisconsin ex-
pertinent station, where he was being
used.
Benjamin excelled not only in the
show ring but also as a sire. He won
first prize at the Wisconsin state fair
in 1892, 1894 1886, 1897 and 1898 and
sweepstakes at the same fair III 1892
1896 and 1897. He was also first at
the Minnesota fair and Omaha eXposi
ton in 1898.
He was the second sire to be record
ed in the advanced registry OF his
breed and has two SONS and four
daughters entered in the lists Of great
producers. In all, he sired Is regis
tered daughters. A number Of his get
were prize winners at the Wisconsin
state fair for many years and also pro
duced many good producers. Many OF
the more recent excellent sires Of the
breed trace back through their dams
to Benjamin.
