CHAPTER CXXXT,
GUYS Betrayal.

Guy Hooking looked about him
with curiosity and not a. little dis
gust He had already seen this
room from the outside, but on that
occasion his view had been limited
and his examination OF IL had been
brought to a sudden conclusion.
StiII he was acquainted with Its
salient features.
Mats, dTapery. tables-the deco
rations generally-were Eastern.
Luxury was aimed at but II the
glamour OF it-seen at close quar-
ters-had somewhat faded. The
heavy curtains were dust-laden, the
walls-where visible-were grimy
and stained. There were hunks at
either end Of the room. one above
the other. as on board ship. with
curtains hanging before them so as
TO conceal the occupants from view.
Some of these curtains were drawn.
BUT the temporary possessors OF
other hunks were less careful 10
conceal themselves. e 1t was early
in the evening. and they were not
all occupied.
4 few men reclined on couches
such as Guy had already seen
through the window, some smoking,
some already asleep, and the China
man. Chan-Ling, lowered about the
room, refilling a pipe when neces-
sary, imperturbabIe Of expression
but talking TO such clients as
seemed disposed to conversation.
The thick Eastern carpet was worn
and foul. and the air was heavy
with opium fumes.

remember them all, but perhaps

Hogs ought to have lots of
range-grass, clover, weeds, etc.
These are their natural feeds.
If they cannot be allowed the
range of fields and woods, they
ought at least to have some crop
such as peas or soy beans which
they can be allowed to harvest
along with corn. When they
have such range they gain faster
and cheaper than in any other
way, and if corn alone is to be
fed. feeding it while the hogs
are on range is the very best
use to put corn in growing hogs
up to the fattening point, after
which corn alone is all that is
necessary.
