At Purdue university the experiment
station collected and published a lot
of data showing the appalling loss In
cream due to the universal tendency of
separator operators to turn the ma
chine too slowly. Their bulletin No. ZIG,
volume 13, was a revelation to many,
many dairymen, who had been losing
anywhere up to 500 per year worth OF
butterfat, simply by turning their sepa'
rators below speed.
At the fairs recently, a leading
speedometer manufacturer had thou
sands Of tests run to get further proofs
positive that a great majority of OPP
orators turn their machines below
speed. Over % per cent of the dairy
men turned their machines too slowly.
And a majority turned them so far be-
low speed that they were losing
pounds and pounds of butterfat every
week.

Death Hovers Near Ethel.

Ever since she succeeded in IN
weighing Lieutenant Baum into reveal
ing to her the secret Of the fork in the
road, Ethel had waited her opportunity
to telephone the news to the French
front 1t seemed to her that the Ger
man intruders would never leave the
public room, even for five minutes.
Meanwhile she had lowered near. And
at last she was convinced that the
coast was clear.
Cautiously she opened the door and
peered inside. She saw no one SO she
stepped into the room. For just few
moments she hestated, to assure her.
self that there was a lull in the move
ments of the enemy. Apparently they
had withdrawn to spruce themselves
up after their long march.
She nerved herself to her task.
She stole to the fireplace glanced
over her shoulder for one last hurried
survey of the room, and reached her
hand out for the instrument. She had
barely taken it up when she heard the
command
"Haltw
Ethel turned. To her startled eyes
the room seemed suddenly full Of sol.
diers. And giving a little cry, she
dropped the telephone upon the floor.
Lieutenant Baum confronted her
sternly.
"You are a spy for the French he
said.
mo, no! Let me explainv'
He ignored her protest.
"Load!" He snapped out the order
to his men. And as they obeyed Ethel
cried:
mo, no, no! For Gods sake don't
shoot me like thatv' Trembling. she
stood there, while they covered her
with their rifles.
Then another cry of "Haltw rang
out. This time the command came
from the doorway. 1t was Larry Red

He had not recognized Ethel at first,
for her back was toward the door.
But now they gazed at each other in
amazement. "a spy, eh?" Larry re-
peated. what makes you think SOP"
''She went to use that telephone. It
leads to the French" the lieutenant
said.
Excellent, excellent. Larry told
him. Butt shall investigate this
matter"
But Major Won Brenig-" Baum be-
gan.
Larry brought him up sharply.
II am your superior officer" he re-
minded the lieutenant. And at that the
other saluted. "In ten minutes" Larry
continued, you will report to Major
Won Brenig that you captured the spy

"Yes, Herr Captain

At a sign from Baum the soldiers
withdrew, with the lieutenant leading
the way.
Larry waited till the last man was
out of the room and the doors had
closed behind them. Then he sprang
to Ethel's side

"Yesw That was all she could say,

With Sorrow.

An example of the genially naive Is
the following, clipped from an ex-
change:
"It is with sorrow that we announce
an accident to Mrs. John Whitman,
wife of the well-known grocer, who
sells three pounds and a half of sugar
for a quarter. While he was chasing
her around the yard in fun the other
evening she stepped on an old tomato
can and severely lacerated her foot.

tain Redmond. Indeed. he saw that he
was in a devilish tight hole. And rack
his brains as he would, he could think
of no way out.
Larry was right. The girl he loved
did hear him. Before Streetman had
said another word, Ethel leaped from
behind the cigar counter with her re-
volver leveled at Streetman.
Hands up! Hands up-or I'll kill
you" she cried.
Streetman wheeled about in amaze
ment. And before he could collect his
scattered wits Captain Redmond had
wrested the German spy's revolver
from him.
ethel, my dear, you shouldn't have
mixed up in this" Larry reproved her.
Streetman heard him with increasing
wonder.
"'My dearv' he repeated after Larry.
"Then you know Captain Redmond?"
he exclaimed, searching Ethels face
for the information he only now be-
gan to suspect.
II do" she told him unfinchingly.
He saw everything clearly at last.
"Then, by God! You're the English
man she lovedv he exclaimed as he
turned to Larry.
Ethel did not wait for Captain Red
mond to answer.
Eyes, yes, love him. she con-
fessed shamelessly. "I've always loved
him."
Then you lied to me when you said
you hated him." Streetman accused
her. You lied when you said you

he realized how she had tricked him.

Ethel. "But you can't be her hus-

Streetman sneered.
Her husband? So that's

even laughed at the thought, in spite
of the menacing revolver that Captain

Then let me explain-since you and

this.

CHAPTER XIX.
A Surprise for streetman.


Well satisfied at the happy termina-
ton of the episode, the major and his
men retired once more. And Larry
now found himself alone I'm the room,
except for telephone sergeant who
stationed himself at the field instru-
ment which he had placed upon a table
when the Germans first reached the
Lion dor. At least, there were no
others present so far as the sergeant
knew. In their consuming interest in
that trapdoor. not one of the invaders
had noticed Ethel as she crouched be-
hind the cigar counter
Ordered by Larry to leave, the ser.
geant explained that Major Won Brenig
was expecting a message.
"Come back i'm fifteen minutes" Lar.
ry ordered. II will take any messages. -
The fellow had no sooner gone than
Larry started for the cigar counter.
"Well, my darin', so far so goodr'
he said in n low voice. And then to
his dismay he heard someone at the
street door. Ssh! Don't get up yet.
Someone is comingr' Larry warned
the girl.
To his immense alarm and conster-
nation, as the door swung open he saw
that this latest arrival was no other
than Henry Streetman.
They saluted. And as a wave Of rec.
ognition swept across Streetmans face
he whipped out his revolver and cried,
"Haltp'

feet.
"What Is it?" Ethel inquired.

"What do you mean?" she asked
wonderingly. He had already pulled
up the trapdoor. The paddock had not
been closed. "You want to hide me
there?'
Somehow, she shrank from the
thought of descending into that dark
hole. 1t seemed to her that once she
sought that shelter they would surely
find her I'm the end.
