pavement. To reach this room with
greater facility one descended two
crumbling stone steps. passed under

to enter mistit door found there.
As the sun rose on the morning fol-
lowing Fitzhughs escape from the
asylum IL found Esther standing out
side that misiit door, She had been
there. Internationally. since dawn.
Suddenly Fitzhugh turned the cor
ner. His appearance was not prepos-
sessing. His hat was gone, as was
his collar. His hair was tousled and
matted, his face covered with dark
growth OF beard; his shoes and trou-
sers were caked with mud. and as he
carried his coat under his arm his
shirt was seen TO be little more
than rag which chung to him damply.
For two days and nights he had
not known sleep. and In the past Ave
hours he had tramped three times as
many miles. Only constitution of
steel could have stood up under this.
but Fttzhugh had one. As he turned
the corner and swung down the street
with vigorous strides he seemed far
from exhaustion.
The moment the woman saw him
all the love and pity and tenderness
Of her emotional nature welled UP
In her bosom. and with little low
cry Of MY boy i"-more maternal
than amorous--she ran to meet him.
He took her outstretched hands. and
holding them wide apart smiled at the
anxiety in her face.

The earnestness and sincerity with
which he said this seemed to reassure
her Besides she was beginning TO
regret her Outburst and was glad to
be quieted. When after a while she
left him there was In her heart only
trace of doubt and a deep humilia-
ton. She was burning with shame for
having barred her most unlOvely side
to the eyes Of the man she loved.
In secluded corner Fftzhugh opened
the lunch and beneath the chicken
sandwiches and chocolate cake he
found heavy file and coll Of rope.
He managed to conceal them In his
coat without detection.

the moon was Obscured by clouds, and
the muttering of distant thunder her
aided a storm. Although he had not
slept for the last forty hours he had
successfully battled the temptation to
close his eyes and was therefore
awake when the first shadow crossed
the moon. He hustled into his clothes,
stuck the file into a pocket, buttoned
the rope under his coat and felt his
way through the inky blackness to a
western window. He slipped his legs
over the sill, gripped 1t with both
hands and lowered himself into the
black pit yawning ominously below.
He landed safely, and guided by the
forked streaks Of lightning and ac-
companled by the rumble and crash Of
giant thunder chords. he struck Off
across the prairie through the driving
rain, made detour and turned his
face toward Chicago.

low. This should emphasize the ne
cessity for the greatest endeavor to
reduce the number of inferior horses
produced. If the right kind of horses
and mules, the kind for which there
is always market. are to be pro-
duced the same care must be given to
their production as is given by the
breeders of cattle. sheep. and swine.
What is needed more than anything
else in the production of our work
stock is greater care in the selection
of both the stallion and the brood
mare. The poor producing brood mare
should not be bred. 1t is a losing
proposition to breed poor producing
brood mare even to the best stallion.
or to breed the good producing brood
mare to an inferior stallion, with the
hope that a good foal may be pro-
duced. While occasionally a good one
will be produced in this way. the re-
suits in most cases will be dlsappoint-
