TALK OF THE TOWN

Mrs. William Cruickshank OF Summer
street left the city yesterday for Water
yliet, n. ", where she is making an ex'
tended visit with relatives.
Private Wilton G. Smith, adopted son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles H. HENDERSON Of
Church street, is receiving treatment IN
an embarkation hospital at Newport
News. Va, according to a letter received
by Mr.. Kenerson yesterday from the Off
Ger in charge of the hospital. Only few
weeks ago the family was advised that
their adopted son had been seriously
wounded. Later came letter from
Red Cross nurse saying that he was IN
base hospital near Paris and apparently
recovering. News of the young mans ar
rival ON this side the Atlantic serves to
end the suspense occasioned by failure to
receive additional news of his condition
Mr.. and Mrs. Kenerson are advised by
the hospital authorities not to plan to
visit the young man at once, as he is to
be transferred to general hospital.

ing to Kusiak old Gideon had been
seen constantly with one man. They
had been with each other at dim
ner and had later left the hotel to-
.gether. The name of the man who
had been so friendly with old Holt
was Gordon Elliot-and Elliot not
only was another enemy of Macdon-
aid, but had very good reasons for
getting out of the country Just now.
The strong jaw of the mine-owner
stood out saliently as he gave short,
sharp orders to men in the crowd.
One was to get the coroner. sec
ond Wally Selfridge, another the
United States district attorney. He
divided the rest into squads to guard
the roads leading out of town and to
see that nobody passed for the pres
ent.
The coroner took charge of the
body and Wally of the bank. The
mine-owner and the district attor-
ney walked up to the hotel together.
AS soon as they had explained what
they wanted the landlord got pass

had used.

The bank president stepped to the
door and threw it open. He eX-
planned the situation in three sem
tences.
II can't let you in now, boys, until
the coroner has been here" he went
on to tell the crowd. But there is
one way you can all help. Keep your
eyes open. If you have seen any
suspicious character around, let me
know. Or if anyone has left town
in a hurry-or been seen doing any
thing during the night that you did
not understand at the time"

Come to that, don't. But he had
n key to the barn where the sled
was. Holt has been putting up at
the hotel. 1 reckon it is easy to find
out if he's still there"
Macdonald's keen brain followed
the facts as the nose of q blood
hound does a trail. Holt, an open
enemy of his, had reached town
only two days before. He had bought
one of the best and swiftest dog
teams in the North and had let slip
before witnesses the remark that
Macdonald would soon find out what
he wanted with the outfit. The bank
had been robbed after midnight. To
file open the grill and to blow up
the safe must have taken several
hours. Before morning the dogs of
Holt had taken the trail. If their
owner were with them, it was a

he whispered.
His finger pointed through the
darkness to the other end of the

Poor old fellow! You weren't built

He turned abruptly away and be-
gan examining the safe. The silver
still stood sacked in one large COM
partment. The bank notes had es-
capped the hurried search of the
robbers, but the gold was practically
all gone. One sack had been torn
by the explosion and single pieces of
gold could be found all over the safe.
Macdonald glanced over the papers
rapidly. The officer picked DIP one
of dozens scattered over the floor.
1t was a mortgage note made out to

the others. Evidently the bandits
had torn off the rubber, glanced over

found valuable aids in the destruction
of the various animal parasites, as
well as a protection from some more
serious troubles.
Advantage Of Isolated Hog Houses.
The advantage Of isolated hog
houses, each accommodating few
hogs. rather than one large piggery
for the entire herd, has been referred
to previously. In districts where
cholera is prevalent these are undoubt-
edly the best shelters. They make 1t
more difficult to carry contagiOn to all
animals in the herd, and the destruc-
ton Of one Of them in case Of an out
break does not entail a great expense.
An added advantage is that they may
be moved from place to place as need
cd. While more work Is necessary in
feeding. the convenience and safety
from their use more than Offset this
disadvantage.
Danger In lnbreedino.
While inbreeding is the surest and
quickest means to fix type. 1t should be
resorted to with the greatest care. The
value of the system is that 1t enables
the breeder to intensity desirable char
acteristics in a herd and makes i'm
provement possible In a shorter time
than where selection alone Is used. 1t
| stands to reason that II desirable
characteristics can be intensified, the
same will be true. of undesirable ones.
Much Of the disaster which seems to
have followed inbreeding has probably
been due to the fact that this point
was overlooked or given only slight
Importance. and thus loss Of vitality
and constitution and susceptibility to
disease have followed. Therefore II
the young breeder contemplates In
breeding. he should avoid matings that
tend to unite similar defects. Not only
should care be taken to prevent this
in the animals mated. but there should
be no chance Of bad effects due to the
inheritance Of undesirable character
istics, from parents and other ances
tors. Some of the greatest work eveI
done in hog breeding has been baset
on these principles
