TO me. IT'S not fair to me. It's not
even fair TO yourself"
While she was speaking the door
opened and Brewster, the butler,
stepped into the room.
"Mr. Streetman is calling" he an
nounced In well-modulated tones.
'sOh, show him up" Miss Wfllough-
by ordered. And as soon as Brewster
had vanished she shot swift smile al
her companion. Speak OF the
devil" she said good-naturedly.
"Oh, he isn't the DEVIL Georgy re-
piled. "More of a snake, | think. !
There was certainly no reason to doubt
her extreme dislike Of the gentleman
who was at that moment waiting be
low.
Etheps hand was on the doorknob
but she hesitated long enough to say
to Georgy:
ST won't be five minutes. Stay and
amuse him there's a good girl"
"Not IY' Miss Georgy declared. III
| he wants to be amused he can read
Punch" And as she spoke she slipped
of her perch on the chair-arm and
started for the door through which
Brewster had disappeared.
''Don't be rude to him, please
Georgy!' Miss Willoughby entreated
She knew that Georgy and Mr.. Street
man must meet; and she could not re
frain from trying to smooth the way
for her guest.
"Oh, I'll be polite enough-in my
own way" Georgy replied grimly
She was well aware that she was ar
enfant terrible: and she often took 9
mischievous delight in shocking people
by some unconventionality.
Ethel Willoughby had already CLOSED
her boudoir door behind her; but
Georgy had not yet reached the hal
before Brewster returned to usher ii
the caller, who was close upon his
heels.
Henry Streetman, handsome, we'll
groomed, slightly foreign in appear
ance, bowed with extreme affability as
he came face to- face with GeorgJ
| Wagstaff.
But Georgy was decidedly cold tt
him. She could be frigidly naughty
when she chose.
"How do you dov' she said, hardly
pausing in her hasty exit from his dis
tasteful presence. "Ethel's dressing,
she told him hurriedly, She'll be
in in minute. Goodbye and hold
| ing up her head In undisguised scorn
she promptly left Streetman to hiE
own devices.

executed his order, Streetman himself
stole quickly to the door that led, as
he knew, to Miss Willoughby's dress
ing room. He stood there, silent, for a
few moments, listening. And then he
returned to the waiting butler.
'What news, Herr Roeder?' he In
CURED.
Nothing, mein Herry' Under Street
mans brisk questioning the man had
suddenly become metamorphosed. His
manner OF a most correct English but
Ter had fallen of him like a cloak.
And now he saluted his interrogation in
a fashion Enthusiastically military land
German, at that. It was as If the fell
low had two personalities.
Streetman came nearer to the fell
low and bent his cold eyes upon him.
'You have searched Sir Georges
desky' he demanded.
~ have searched everywhere, :"
Brewster-or Roeder-declared, still
standing at attention. An onlooker
could not have mistaken the fact that
Streetman was the buffers superior
in rank. "But can dnd no trace of
any papers about the navy such as
You described"
"Haye you tried his officer" his con-
federate yentured.
Henry Streetman nodded.

of the value of bull is the character
of his offspring, and this is the safest
and surest guide. Many aged bulls
with good records and splendid Off
spring are sold at bargain prices to
avoid inbreeding, and afford an excel
lent opportunity to the man who
wishes a good bull at moderate cost.

Select Cows on Their Records.
Cows may be selected according to
type and apparently by men who are
good judges, but the only safe and sure
basis for selection is the annual milk
record.
The keeping of milk records in all
parts of the country and in all classes
and kinds of herds has shown:
/. That some herds make large an
nual profits while others make none.
2. That in the best herds there are
usually some improbable cows, and
very many such in the poorer herds.
g. That without records the owners
Of the herds could not tell with any de-
gree of accuracy which cows were pay
ing profitably and which were not.
4. That many dairymen would have
made greater yearly profit had they
sent their herd to the butcher at the
beginning of the year, thus saving half
their feed and labor expenses and get
ting all the profit from their best cows.
A fact worth noting is that several
worlds record cows of different breeds,
now worth thousands Of dollars each,

CHAPTER n.
For the FatherIand.

Henry Streetman turned and stared
after Georgy with raised eyebrows.
A blind man could not have mistaken
the luminosity that the girl felt toward
him. But that did not trouble Henry
Streetman. He was not person
whose feelings were easily hurt.
He had hardly strolled to the center
OF the room when the butler reap
peared and paused just inside the
double doors that led into the passage.

SCRUB Cow Which Lacked 1884 Of
Producing Enough Milk to Pay for
Her Feed and Care in One Year.

we're sold to their present owners for
small sums by men who had not taken
the trouble to find out what kind of
cows they were keeping.
EssentiaI.to Keep Records.
It is difficult therefore, to see how
dairyman can afford to run the risk
of keeping improbable cows by refus-
ing to keep records. A merchant who
could not take time to keep books
would soon go bankrupt; and business
methods must be the rule or the dairy
farm If a profitable business is to be
built up. Even if it should take one
weeks work in year to keep a good
system of records, the time will be well
spent if the work Of the year were to
result in an annual profit of $1,715, or
a loss Of $3.50 as a consequence Of
keeping records or not keeping them.
The time required is really very small.
The milk record is the dairyman'S
barometer; by means of it he can keep
checked up on his individual cows, on
his mixers and on his system Of feed
ing. BY means of it he will notice any
increase or decrease in milk flow, and
in the latter case be able to avoid trou-
BILE by removing the cause. More inter-
est is taken in feeding the cows care
fully when their records are kept. A
circular balance scale and sheet Of
paper ruled off, together with the Bah
cock test will do the work. Cow test
ing associations are doing good work
all over the country. From ten to
twenty or more farmers may club to-
gether and agree to pay qualified
man to test their herds each month,
sharing expenses equally. The system
is particularly valuable to the men
with purebred herds, as they can get
their good animals tested for the adj
vanced register. Record keeping helps
the dairyman to get rid of his rob
ber."
Gull Out Improbable Cows.
Cows that prove improbable should
be soldsat once. Those paying only
small profit may be kept until better
ones are bought or raised to take their
places. Young heifers that do not
show up during their first lactation
period may sometimes make good
showing on a second years trial. Good
cows can often be purchased that will
pay for their feed, care and cost prices
in one year and return good profit
besides.
