and for two hours more, after other
chickens have gone to roost, the
Grisard chickens continue to
scratch and lay.
And the result: Grisard' s chick
ems are laying as many eggs IN
winter as they do in the longest
days of summer. Other hens, that
go to bed at twilight and rise
with the sun, produce only about
so per cent. of their normal ca
pacity.
Grisard has christened tho eggs
of his most energetic hens "Twi-

More daylight in the hen-coop
not only produces more eggs, but
also is good for the chickens, be-
cause they get more exercise, says
Mr.. Grisard.

while making the rounds of the theatrical
offices, | happened into one just at the
moment when they We're looking for girl
of my type to replace an actress who had
been taken ill. The part was in Mr.. Lor-
rimore's new play, and | was sent down
at once to his home at Hillside, Long
Island, to read the part to him and Mrs.
Lorrimore. They kept me to dinner, and
when | went back to the station | missed
my train. There was no other due until
eleven o'clock, and it had begun to storm,
so it seemed wiser to stay overnight at
the Inn, which was close by, and go back
to town next morning. Being very much
excited about my new part | could not
resist studying it aloud, though | am
afraid | woke up a man who was asleep
in the next room"
Again she paused slightly, and a faint
smile tlickered across her face, though she
did not look my way. And that was all
she said about our encounter at Hillside.
She was talking then for publication, and
it was understood between her and Miss
Hoyt that Mary Leighton and the reason
for the broken engagement should not be
mentioned.
RUT may as we'll say right here that it
was my hint of Miss Leighton's con-
nection with the case given that night at
Hillside, which resulted in Miss Hoyt's
return to New York at the eleventh hour.
Puzzled by my words, she had finally
gone to the kensington to see Miss
Leighton, and had learned the whole truth
from her. For, of course, Winifred War
rem was the Winifred who was in Miss
Leighton's confidence at the time of the
marriage in Melbourne, though after Miss
Leighton's return to England the two
girls had lost track of each other-until l
unknowingly brought them together again.
Realizing something of the real state of
affairs, and convinced, by Mary Leigh
tons regret at the unhappiness which her
own misfortunes had brought on others,
that she would be only too glad to have
the truth reach Miss Hoyt, Winifred had
felt justified in writing it to her. The
answer to the letter was the telegram of
which Mrs. Slocum had spoken. In it
Roberta Hoyt had announced her immedi-
ate departure for New York.
IL suppose Miss Leighton was admitted
to Mrs. Slocum's house by you, was she
not?" Baker asked Miss Warren, when
the above situation had been explained.
That is why she was seen by no one?"
"Of course" answered Winifred "We
went into the house together. She had
been helping me with my stage clothes.
| had everything sent to her at the Ken
sington. You see, 1 was terribly afraid
that in some way that pawnbroker might
identify me and that my appearance in
the new play might be stopped. left

had kept my promise and told no one any
thing. But in her telegram Miss Hoyt had
asked me to bring everything to the
theater, including the wig, so that we
could explain how we had managed our
plan"
"There's one point I'd like cleared up,
Miss Warren" said Hillman. What did
you mean last night when you told a man
at Mrs, Slocum's door that twelve o'clock
was bound to Gomez"
"Oh was somebody listening?" Miss
Warren asked, surprised. "Why, that is
saying among actors on the first night
of a new play. When they are so nervous
they feel that they can never live through
the ordeal, they soothe themselves by
saying that in any case it will all be over
by midnight. You see, had been dining
with Miss Leighton and her friend Miss
Wilmington, and Miss Wilmington sent
me home in her car. A gentleman who
teered to see that | arrived safely-that's
all of that"
AND | think that's all for me, too-oh,
no, | was forgetting the sealed letter.
or course, nobody found out what was
in that for a year Farnham and his wife
went West, and We're ecstatically happy,
according to all reports. Contrary to ex-
pectations and predictions, she turned out
as enthusiastically domestic as her grand
father could have wished.
The contents of the sealed letter came
to my knowledge through communica-
ton received by "the late Miss Warren"
as she was calling herself about that time
which was just after her marriage Ito
me- We We're back from our wedding
trip and getting settled in our Atlanta
home when the news from Bobbie arrived:
Grandfather's letter sounded so exactly
like him that it made me homeSick for him
and l wanted to cry. But Herbert, Jr., on
my lap, was yelling as hard as he could and
the Farnham contingent seemed noisy
enough as it was. Well, grandfather said
he hoped that the year had brought me ex-
perience and wisdom and that, knowing
now how hard money is to get and to do
without, l was ready to be sensible and
settle down. If, by any chance, had mar
ried, was to receive at once one half of the
estate; if not an allowance was arranged
for-but the provisions for that contin-
gency don't matter. The other half of the
property is to be doled out to us as the in
crease in the family warrants it-so much
per chick. And, according to Mr.. Rosser's
calculation, to get it all the number of our
offspring will have to reach thirteen and
five eighths-whch think you will agree,
would be a large and interesting family.

have to live very cheaply, for the pawn
broker had not given me as much for the
things as we had counted on, and, of
course, had to buy some clothes to re-
place Miss Hoyt's which | was afraid to

right, and couldn't bear the thought of

aunt had not reported my absence to the
police, but was sure my guardian would
do so as soon as he returned from Europe
The purpose of the masquerade was to

the effect-though that was secondary

preston that | was Miss Hoyt. The sim
pest plan, decided, would be to address
some man, mentioning very distinctly the
name, Roberta Hoyt, and, when he should
tell me | had mistaken him for some one
else, to apologize and hurry home. Then,
when the fact of Miss Hoyts disappear
ance was published, he would be sure to
tell of meeting her. My reason for select
