In spite of the noise which he haG
heard, it vas hardly to be sup.
posed that she had entered the
barn. And, after a few minutes
search, he was about to go ont,
when there came, from the left. a
clash of things falling about and
some hoops dropped to the
ground not far from whore he
stood.
They came from above, from a
loft likewise crammed with vari-
Gus objects and implements and
reached by a ladder. Was he to
believe that the visitor, surprised
by his arrival, had taken refuge
in that hiding place and made a
movement that caused the fall of
the hoops?
Don Luis placed his electric Ian
tern on a cask in such a way as
to send the light right up to the
loft. Seeing nothing suspicious,
nothing but an arsenal of old
pickaxes, rakes and dis,lsed
scythes, he attributed what had
happened to some animal, to some
stray cat; and, to make sure, he
walked quickly to. the ladder and
went up.
Suddenly, at the very-moment
when he reached the level Of the
floor, there was "a fresh noise, a
fresh chatter of things failing: and
a form ose from ale heap of rub
Dish with "a terribleSgesture.
1t was swift as lightning. Don
Luis saw the great blade of a
scythe ~c4caving the air at the
ssleight of his head. Had he hest
tated for a second, for the tenth
OF a second, the awful weapon
would have beheaded him. Ais it
was, he just had time to- flaften
himself against the ladder. The
scythe whlstled past him, grazing
his jacket. He slid down. to the
floor below.
But he had seen.
He had seen the dreadful fade
OF GaSton Sauverand, and, behind
the ma of the ebony walking
stick, wan and livid in the rays Of
the electric light, the distorted
features OF Florence Levasseur!1

LUPIN's ANGER.

He remained for one moment
motionless and speechless. Above
was a perfect clatter of things be-
ing pushed about, as though the
besieged were building themselves
a barricade. But to the Fight of
the electric rays, diffused day
light entered through an opening
that was suddenly exposed and
he saw, in front of this opening,

the roofs. ~
He %leyelled his revolver and
fired, but badly, for he was think
ing Of Florence and his hand
tremSlea. Three more shots rang
out. The bullets ratified against
the old scrap iron in the loft. The
fifth shot was followed BY a cry
of pain. Don Luis once more
rushed up thesladder.
Slowly making his way through
the tangle OF farmimplements and
over some eases of dried rape
seed forming a regular rampant,
he at last, after bruising and
barking his shins, succeeded in
reaching the opening, and was
greatly surprised, OH passing
through it, to find himself on level
ground. 1t was the topsof the
slipping bank against which the
Ibarn stood.

The Cattle Shortage.
From the Century Magazine


Probably nothing better illustrates the
present food shortage than figures AS to
the depletion of the worlds cattle herds.
When the German army retired after it's
big advance into France. 1t swept before
ii from France and Belgium, 1,SOO, 600
cattle, all of which were long ago slaugt,-
tered. BY the end Of 1916 French herds
had decreased $500, 600 head, and a year
later the French cattle shortage was re-,
ported to be 10,SO0.0 600 animals. In Den
mark. under a recent order, o%ne-fourth of
the hogs We're killed. and it is estimated
that one-half nave now been slaughtered
There is 40 longer food for them. For
the same reason. Holland has had to kill
1000, 600 OF her cattle. England, in order
to raise more grain. has been compelled
to pillow up 2.+OO.000 acres of grass land,
reducing her cattle raising ability by just
SO much. Altogether, according to the
food administration, since the war began,
there has been a decrease in. European
herds of $500. 0o0 cattle and, 5000. 600
sheep. AS against this declease there has
been in the. United States an increase Of
only Al per cent IN 1916 and Az per cent
in 1917 I'm the number of our cattle other
than nilch cows. and our entire total of
such cattle at the beginning Of 1918 was
only 43,546,O00.

Civil War Price. Compared.
From the Popular,ScienSe. Month

FFoM CUe OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. Monthly.
In these days of triJuAtioH L, when every
thing rises but fathers wages, we all very
consistently bemoan the high cost of liv-
ing. But this is not the first and only
time that prices have been high. During
the civil war wages ran from SLIP 81 day
for a~borer lItdk$2 a day rer skilled work.
men. This however. did not prevent a
shave from costing 10 cents, or a haircut
20 cents. Hotel rates were $3.50 to e a
day, and Aice, which was considered a
great luxury. was supplied at 50. cents a
week for 10 pounds daily. Strangely
enough sugar was the CHIEF bone of con-
tention in ~those>days, too, and it cost IL
to Is cents a pound.

MazerouN did o breathe an
other word. For that matter the
speed at which they al once be
gan to 90 hardly left him time to
raise a protest. Not Il little
anxious. he thought only of
watching the horizon and keeping
a lookout for obstacles.
The trees vanished on either
side almost unseen Their foliage
overhead made a rhythmical
sound as of moaning waves. Night
insects dashed themselves to death
against the lamps.

enough Mazcroux ventured to
observe. "Thrre S no need to put

The speed increased and he said
no more.

OF course they ought to have
gone to the left. They wasted
seven or eight minutes in wander
ing through the streets and re-
celving contradictory instruc-
tlons. When the motor pulled up
at the station the train was
whistling.
Don Luis jumped out, rushed
through the waiting room, found
the doors shut, .iostled the railway
officials who tried to stop him,
and reached the platform.
A train was about to start on
the farther line. The last door
was banged to. He IAN along the
carriages, holding on to the brass
rails.
Your ticket. sir! Where s

collector.
Don Luis continued to fly along
the footbeards, esa~illg: a swift
glance through the panes, thrust

tried to jump on to another foot

With a blow of his left fist
he knocked the ticket collector
down; with a blow of his right. he
sent Mazeroux spinning; and

station master, he rushed along
the platform to the luggage room,
where he took flying leaps over
several patches of trunks, packing
