CHAPTER XVIII.
A Change Of Plan.

That day and the next Westerling
had no time for strolling in the gar
den. His only exercise was few
periods Of pacing on the veranda. Tur-
cas-, as tirelessly industrious as ever,
developed an increasingly quiet insist
ence to leave the responsibility of de-
cisions about everything Of importance
to chief who was becoming increas-
ingly arbitrary. The attack on Enga-
dir being the jewel Of Westerling's
own planning, he was disinclined to
risk success by delegating authority,
which also meant sharing the glory of
victory.
Bouchard's note, though officially dis
missed as matter Of pathology. would
not accept dismissal privately. In
flashes of distinctness 1t required to
him between reports of the progress
OF preparations and directions as to
dispositions. At dusk of the second
day, when all the guns and troops had
their places for the final movement I'M
der cover Of darkness and he rose
from his desk. the thing that had
edged its way into crowded mind
took possession of the premises that
strategy and tactics had vacated 1t
passed under the same analysis as his
work. His overweening pride, so SEN
sitive to the suspicion of a conviction
that he had been fooled, put his rela-
tons with Marta In logical review. He
had fallen In love in the midst of war.
A cool and intense impotence pos
sessed him to study her in the light
Of his new skepticism, when, turning
the path of the first terrace, he saw
her watching the sunset over the crest
of the range.
She was standing quite still, a slim,
soft shadow between him and the light,
which gilded her figure and quarter
profile. Did she expect him? he won
dered. Was she posing at that in
slant for his benefit? When she
turned, her face in the shadow, the
glow of the sunset seemed to remain
In her eyes, otherwise without express
sion, yet able to detect something I'M
usual under externals as they ex-
changed commonplaces of greeting.
We'll, there's change In our off,
cial family. We have lost Bouchard-
transferred to another post!" said
| Westerling
Marta noted that, though he gave
the news a casual turn. his scrutiny
sharpened.

the rest of the staff was immersed In
the activity Of the preparations for the
attack on Engadir. He knew that he
could not sleep If he lay down. So he
spent the night at work. In the morn
ing his successor, young man whom
he himself had chosen and trained,
Colonel Bellini, appeared, and the
fallen man received the rising man
with forced official courtesy.
"In my own defense and for your
aid" he said, II show you copy of
what l have just written to General
Westerling."
A brief note 1t was, in farewell, be-
ginning with conventional thanks for
Westerling's confidence in the past.

concluded. at is my belief that Miss
Galland sends news to the enemy and
that she draws it from you without
your consciousness of the fact. l tell
you honestly. Do what you will with

1t took more courage than any act
Of his life for the loyal Bouchard to
dare such candor to superior. See
Ing the patchy, yellow, bloodless face
drawn In stiff lines and the abysmal
stare of the deep-set eyes in their
bony recesses, Bellini was swept with
wave of sympathy.
Thank you, Bouchard. You've been
very fine!" said Bellini as he grasped
Bouchard's hand, which was icy cold.

we shall kill two Browns for every
Gray who has fallen that we shall
yet see them starved and besieged
and crying for mercy in their capital,
replied Bouchard He saluted with a
dismal, urgent formality and stalked
out Of the room with the tread of the
ghost of Hamlets father
The strange impression that this
farewell left with Bellini still fingered
when, a few moments later, Wester.
ling summoned him. Not alone the
| diffidence of new member of the
staff going into the presence accounted
for the stir in his temples, as he wait.

Then Westerling picked up Bouchards
note and shook his head sadly.

lier that 1t was case for the doctor
and not for reprimand. Mad! Poor

ground every window of the house was
ablaze, like some factory on busy
night shift. She could hear the click
Of the telegraph instruments already
reporting the details of the action as
sheerfully as Brobdingnagian crickets
in their peaceful surroundings. Then
out of the shadows Westerling reap
peared.
"The apron of Engadir is ours!" he
called. Thanks to you'll" he added
with pointed emphasis. Back in the
house he had received congratula-
tions with a nod. as IL success were

WINTER PRODUCERS OF EGGS
Question of Keeping Old Hens During
Cold Weather Season Should Be
Decided by Conditions.

The hen more than year old Is
not winter producer Of eggs. Why
this is so it is doubtful if anyone can
tell. The pullet produces the winter
eggs, but as she gets older, her sea-
son of egg production is later. The
question then is whether 1t is profit
able to winter the hen two years OF
more old. The answer is yes, il one
has q good market for eggs in the
spring and summer, even though you
buy the food, and decidedly yes, IL one
grows the food for the fowls. If the
market in the spring and summer In
not good, then it will not pay to win
ter the old hens, SO that, after all. IL
is not question Of management. but
one of being governed by conditions.
In feeding the old hens during the
winter, economy must be practiced.
and the best way Of doing this Is to
have all these hens by themselves and
feed them light ration.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1915-02-12

as much as they will readily eat up
clean and not waste or allow to sour.
Never exciting hens, but rather
keeping them tame SO that they will
have confidence in the feeder and not
become scary.
Keeping the houses perfectly clean
and CHEEKY, so that good health may
be maintained, and that lice may ,be
discouraged in making their head
quarters about the premises.
Never overcrowding the f1ocks, as
small families will do more work. It
is better to keep Is hens in a house
built for rs than Is in a house only
big enough for Is.
If these warnings are carefully heed
ed there will be no difficulty to secure
winter eggs. Hens have no particular
laying season; they usually lay best
in warm weather because conditions
are better-it is up to the poultry man
to supply these.

Poor stuff always encounters a glut.

Poor stuff always encounters a glut.
Ship dressed male birds in separate
packages. .'#
Warm quarters and the right ration
will bring out the eggs.
Never pack dressed poultry until all
the animal heat is out of the bodies.
A light morning feed for the flock Is
best, because it keeps them hustling
through the day.
A tablespoonful of baking soda
placed in the water two or three times
week will prevent bowel trouble.
During the winter months, or while
fowls are confined, supply them with
suitable grit, charcoal and green stuff
in addition to the regular grains.
A pullet is in the pink of show con-
dition just before she lays her first
egg; laying dulls the plumage, takes
away the brightness and sheen. and
affects the shape.
Don't let the pullets that are to be
'hown come to laying. This can be
nut off by changing such pullets from
ouse to house, and by feeding q
laintenance ration only.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

All on tbs subject for the present!
When it was taken up again his sue
cessor would be In charge. He, the
interchangeable, the over-intense, with
medieval partisan fervor, who loathed
in secret machines like Turcas, was
the first man Of the staff to go for In
competency.
"And Engadir is the key-point," Wes-
&erling was saying.
YES" agreed Turcas.
80 we concentrate to break through
there" Westerling continued, while
we engage the whole line fiercely
enough to make the enemy uncertain
where the crucial attack is to be
made"
But, general, If there is any place
Shat is naturally strong, that" Tur-
1cas began.
1.-THE one place where they are conf
dent that we won't attack" Wester-
ring interrupted. He resented the
staff's professional respect for Turcas.
After a silence and survey Of the
Eaces around, he added with senten-
Sious effect: "And l was right about
Bordir!"
To this argument there could be no
answer. The one stroke of general
ship by the Grays. who, otherwise, had
succeeded alone through repeated
Eaass attacks, had been Westerling's
hypothesis that had gained Bordir in
O. single assault.
"Engadir 1t is them" said Turcas
with the loyalty of the subordinate

FARM :
POULTRY
TO SECURE EGGS IN WINTER
Hens Have No Particular Laying Sea-
son-Do Well In Cold Weather
II Given Attention.

Z II followed carefully, the hints given
below will insure satisfactory supply
of eggs during the winter:
Never exposing the fowls to blus-
terry, snowy weather, remembering
that cold, uncomfortable hen cam
not be expected to be profitable one.
Therefore the houses must be Of gen.
erous size.
Early Matched pullets.
Strong, healthy yearling hens.
Roomy, comfortable, well-ventilated
houses.
Regular feeding of food rich in MI
trogenous qualities.
Scratching sheds and the fowls
made to hunt for the grain among the
litter.
Each year breeding from the strong
est and best layers and never inbreed-
ing.
Using trap nests by which the
drones can be detected, so as to give
the room and feed to the workers.
Never overlooking, but given just
