CHAPTER LII.
Roleau, the Spv.

In all these rapid events of the last
few hours Roleau had been left quite
to his own resources. His mistress
had slipped away from him without
his knowledge. Count Frederick was
gone, he knew not where. He guessed
rather than knew that each Of them
might be seeking the other. That
meant, according to his reasoning
that they must be at or near the royal
palace. 1t was thither Roleau q,
length turned his own footsteps.
Discovered at last through the notice
attracted by his lack Of uniform, he
was halted by an officer, who brought
him forthwith to the commander Of
the army, none less than saehio, who
sat close to the king. watching the
progress of the battle.
General" said the officer to Sachio.
here is man who was trying to
get through our lines. What shall We
do with him? We think perhaps he
is a spy"
80, fellow, you are here again ?"
he said, grimly. Il know you. yes,
we'll enough. We have met more than
once before now. l recall you at my
lodging. and elsewhere. What do you
heref Where Is she, your mistress.
the young Americana"
"Yonder somewhere. excellency,'
said Roleau, pointing toward the pal.
ace.
Take him away. lieutenant, and
keep him safe until call for him"
1t was thus that Roleau remained
for q time unobserved. but was ultl.
mately caught In the general rout Of
King Cortislaw's armies. It was night
when finally the rout ended under the
walls of Grahoffen itself
Cortislaw was an old man when he
had started out that day. Since morn.
ing he had aged yet q dozen years.
Nothing was left to himi The end
of his life's dream was at hand.
Curses upon ali things!" exclaimed
old Cortislaw, at last, sweeping . level
glance under his bushH gray brows at
his courtiers. "Once more they have
proved too much for us. 1t was my
one remaining chance"
None dared raise voice against the
wrath of the broken king. After q
time, he went on:
What use, then, Count Saehio, was
their coin, after alli We had II, and
we lost"
Count Frederick told me, your ma.
jesty," began Sachio that what we
had was only counterfeit. He said
he gave 1t to the king Of Gretzhoifen
In a bit Of deceit for purposes OF his
own. It read the same-that may bs
sworn. Its errand should have been
the same. But as to our victory
look, 1t was counterfeit"
YES said Cortislaw, slowly. count
that not for US, but against US. I say
the cursed coin Is bewitched--it ID in
the service of Gretzhoffen, not our
own. 1t Is the evil spirit Of our own
kingdom. that will be sworn"
But" said Count sachio, after
time, the end never IL till all Ii done.
True, we have failed at arms, your
majesty, but after all, that does not
affect the existence Of the Gretzhotfep
treasure. l myself have been in that
room. have been beneath the walls
Il know the very place where that
secret Is concealed. Look, we have
all the coin-and even II this half Ia
counterfeit, their half. the true half
though 1t be, is no more than half.
They cannot read the riddle Of their
own treasure, and yet we know itl

ESTIMATING COST OF ROADS
Much Depends on Type of construe-
xion and Amount of Grading to
Be Done-Some Figures.

The cost of a road is dependent
upon not only the type of construction
but the amount and character OF
grading to be done, the cost of labor
and materials, the width and thick
ness of surfacing, the character and
amount of drainage required, and
other factors of equal variability
Based upon general averages, it has
been ascertained by highway special
lists of the department that under
average conditions macadam roads can
he built in southern states at from
$4,000 to $4,000 per mile gravel roads
at from $500 to $4,000 per mile, and
sand-clay and topsoil roads at from
$500 to $1,500 per mile.
In New England and the other east
ern states macadam roads are report
ed at from $4,000 to $4,000 per mile
grave. roads at from $1,000 to $4,000
and bituminous macadam from $1,000

TREATING R0UP AMONG HENS
Where Fowls Are Badly Affected AK

late Valuable Birds.

If fowls are badly affected with
roup the use of the az is the best
means Of procedure. Roup is con-
tagious and must be eliminated from
the flock at all costs.
If some of the fowls are especially
valuable, they may be isolated from
the rest of the flock and their heads
dipped in a solution Of potassium per-
manganate, made by adding quarter
teaspoonful of the commercial mix
ture to two quarts of hot water. The
operation is repeated three times
daily.
AS a preventive enough potassium
permanganate is added to the drink
ing water of the flock to turn it cherry

VALUE OF POULTRY MANURE
Worth Is Placed at Not Less Than SIS
and UP to So Per Ton by Some OF
Experiment Stations.

If the average farmer realized the
great value placed on poultry manure
by some of the largest experimental
stations in the United States, he
would be more careful in the gather
ing, storing and proper distribution
of same over his land.
1t is claimed that average poultry
manure consists as follows: Water,
66 per cent; nitrogen, to 8 per cent;
phosphoric acid, z to 5 per cent; pot
ash, 8 to 10 per cent. This analysis
would place the value of every ton
of poultry manure at not less than SIS
and up to So.

PROBLEM OF RAISING GEESE
Goslings Should Have Tender Grass t

Be Dampened Slightly.

Goose eggs may be hatched under
geese or hens, putting from four to six
under the latter and eight to ten under
a goose. They require about 80 days
to hatch. Goslings should have tender
grass to eat from the first. Give them
a mash of bran, cornmeal and any
other ground grains that are fed to
chickens. Rolled oats, whole or in
parts, make best feed for the first few

PREVENTION OF FR0sT-BITE
Difficult Matter to Keep Long Watties
Of Males From Getting Wet
Treat With vaseline.

Even in well-ventilated, comfortable
houses, it is difficult to keep the long
wattles Of the males from getting wet
and freezing. A good preventive is to
keep the comb and wattles creased
wi tn vaseline.
If the mischief is already done, do
not take the bird to a warm room
until the frost is out. Apply cold wa
ter, or snow, handling very gently,
and when the parts are OF normal
size, apply mutton tollaw, or Compton
ice.

slightly.
Be sure to not allow any Jumps CT

BUREAUS TASK IS TO FIX STANDARD
 FOR ALL SORTS OF THINGS
Not Only Weights and Measures but About Every Detail of Every Public Utility Passed Upon by Federal Bureau of Standards Idea Is to Present WeI-Tested Methods Which Will
 Commend Themselves to All States

stacle to meter manufacturers. At present meter acceptable in San francisco might not do at all in New York
 The bureau, thanks to the experts. could furnish at this moment set of rules Tor the government of public utllltles anywhere, which, with possi- ply few minor alterations. could be put into effect with marked benefit to the community and without serious hardship to the corporations affected. For instance, three sets of model cleo trlc ordinances have been prepared one for large cities, one for medium sized cities, and one for smaller cities ana towns. Big-city requirements are lncllned to be more stringent than those applicable to smaller communi- ties, and to enforce these requirements upon electric power companies in small towns would be more or less of hard ship. Then there is a different set of model regulations, suitable for adop- ton by state utilities commissions, which strike happy medium between the stricter regulations of the large cities and the laxer rules applicable to the smaller communities. In formu- lat1ng these tables of measurements the bureau has received support not only from utilities commissions throughout the country but from cleo tric companies as well.
 It frequently happens that represen- tatives of the bureau are asked by pub lie utilities commissions to attend hear ings on matters of more than usual importance. In such case an expert is sent, and usually he supplies data of vast benefit in enabling those in- terested to reach definite conclusion. Safety Codes.
 One important phase of the bureaus work is its plan to formulate and have adopted national gas and electric safety code for the protection of both workers and consumers. The idea is to have the code uniform throughout all states. This work however, is not completed. Sometime this year a con- ference will be held in Washington to consider the bureaus national cleo tric code, and if adopted by the con- vention its adoption by the state leg islatures will be urged
 The same method has been followed in the preparation of gas safety code for all the states
 To investigate the telephone as a public utility it has been necessary to make some survey of telephone transmitting and receiving apparatus, as well as switchboard equipment. So far this work has been slight but from now on the bureau will devote itself more energetically to this task In the opinion of the bureau telephone stand ards are in sore need of fixing.
 Public service commissions through. out the country are noting increasing frequency of petitions for permission for connections between telephone sys, tems under different ownerships and the question is constantly arising as to whether an impairment of service would result
