Maid's Adventure.

Take young girl of about twenty
who, in her childhood. was pampered
of fortune in money, position, good
breeding. and pets, turn her loose
on tie world at the age of ten
with no prop but a faithful, 'sickly
and destitute old nurse, kill off the
nurse 4 couple of years later, let the
girl fend for herself as scullery-maid
and what not through the uninterest-
ing stage that precedes the sudden
bloom OF unexpected beauty, give her
a long succession of jobs secured ION
her looks and lost because she
wouldn't. lead her up to the crowded
portal Of despair and the l0ng-drawn
out surrender; then snatch her sudden
ly back from destruction, feed her,
give her the sole freedom for night
Of Mr.. Robert Hervey Randolph's com,
Portable apartment and-what will she
dc? The answer is easy. She will
find the bath and turn on the hot
water.
That was the very first thing thar
Miss Imogene Pamela Thornton did
after she had finished spying from the
window on the movements of s'hat
she supposed was Mr.. Randolph and
what, in reality. was Mr. Patrick
O'Reilly in Mr. Randolph's best top
hat, best scit of evening clothes and
overcoat, best gray silk muller, price
twenty-five dollars, and best patent
leather shoeS-the last 4 very tight
fit which made the retamped gentle
mans gait a cross between that of a
chicken or a hot stove and drunk
on his reluctant way home
Even the unsuspecting Miss Thorn
ton was puzzled by that halting loco
motion in connection with what she
knew Of Mr.. Randolph, but she added
it, two and two, with the mysterious
twenty minutes spent by that gentle
man and the driver in the recesses OF
the cab, appareEtly to settle differ
enee in ideas as to the value of
waiting taxi, and decided that poor
Mr.. Randolph must have issued from
the Interview in a seni-crippled state
She herself was too excited to let
pity altogether absorb her, Without
waiting for either the tortured way
farer or the taxi to get quite out OF
sight, she dropned the window curtain
and turned possess herself of her
world of comfort for night. A
starved instinct led her straight to
the luxuriously appointed bathroom,
AS previously intimated, she turned
on the hot water and clasped her
hands ecstaticallS as she watched its
crystalline surge and imagined she
could smell the opalescent Steam.
But not for long was she Inactive
Having surrendered to circumstance
to the extent Of promising to stay in
the fiat until ten the following morn
ing, she decided TO do the job whole
heartelly, for hnogene Pamela was
one of those lucky and fated young
women who can never give themselves
by halves. If happiness so much as
showed its nose, 1t was her nature to

1t makes quite a difference In the
profits OF the farmer stock raiser
whether he obtains 81 cents per pound
for his hogs as meat or from y to y
cent per pound for them as dead hogs
and soap-grease material. Which Of
these prices he obtains depends upon
how the animals are loaded in the
cars. Many shippers, either through
ignorance or in an effort TO save a
small amount of freight, overload or
improperly load their live stock when
sending II to market, and thereby run
great risks Of sustaining serious losses
through crippled or dead animals, say
specialists of the bureau OF markets,
United States Department Of Agri-
culture.
With freight rates az their present
levels there Is strong temptation to
ecOnomize on this .sem OF expense by
cr0wding a few more animals into an
already well-filled car. Representa-
tives Of the department, however. who
see thousands Of carloads OF live stock
rnleaded at the great central markets,
are of the opinion that II farmers and
stockmen could see the condition In
which much OF the live stock reaches
the stockyards they would be I'M
pressed not only with the folly off
overlooking, but also with the abso-
lutte necessity OF taking every precau-
tion against injury and death Of the
animals while In transit
Overlooking Is one Of the common
est. and at the same time most serious,
mistakes made by the inexperienced
or careless shipper. II seems such an
easy matter to crowd just few more
animals into car, and the fact that
once In q great while an overloaded
car will go through without serious
uiishap seems to urge the shipper On
10 tempt fate Just once more. The
wise shipper. however, will have moth
ing to do with this false economy. say
specialists Of the department. He
will lay down hard and fast rule to
load only as many animals In the car
as can ride comfortably, and from
this rule he will not deviate.
The chances Of loss through over
loading are greater In warm weather
than 10 cold. Temperatures may be
such at the time Of loading that tho
animals are fairly comfortable, but be-
fore they reach market the weather
turns suddenly hot, with the result

discussion.

Doctor Haley does not profess that

biological research.
Likewise he insists his experiment

that anywhere from one to II animals
suffocate. This is particularly true Of
hogs. The shipper should remember
that stock ears frequently stand In
freight yards completely hemmed In
by trains of box cars Under such
circumstances, IL the animals are
crowded In the car and the weather
is hot. overheated and dead animals
are almost certain to result.
Another mistake frequently made 10
TO load mixed stock without proper
partitions. When two or more species
Of live stock are shipped In the same
car they should generally be kept
separate by building strong partitions.
This Is particularly important when
large animals are shipped with smaller
ones.
II has been found that shipping live
animals any considerable distance IN
an undertaking always fraught with
some risk. This risk. however. may
