CHAPTER III.
The Bandit.

Joseph A1aillard's library was on the
ground floor of the house; it was
sedate and stately room, and was In
variably shut off to itself. Not even
tonight, of all nights, was it thrown
open with the remainder of the house.
Here Maillard summoned half a
dozen of his particular cronies and
friends, after the stroke of midnight
had assured him that there was no
danger to be expected from the BAN
dit. His son was not among the num-
Der. The half dozen were nearly all
elderly men, and, with the exception
of joachim Fell, all were men of promi-
nent affairs.
About the table grouped Maillard
and his guests Maillard, standing be-
fore a small wall saTe that flanked the
open hearth, lifted his silver goblet.
asteam with beads. The moment for
which he had been waiting was here !:
he launched his little thunderbolt with
an air of satisfied Importance.
'My friends, ] have a confession to
make!" he announced. To-day | re-
ceived note from the Midnight Mas
quer stating that he would be with us
this evening, presumably at the hour
of midnight, his usual time"
These words brought an instant ST.
lence. The half-dozen men were
tense, watchful, astonished. But Mail
lard swung up his silver cup and
laughed sally.
81 took full precautions, gentlemen.
The hour of danger is past, and the
notorious bandit has not arrived-or,
If he has arrived, he is now in the
hands of the law. So up with your
cups, my friends-a lifelong health to
Mardi Gras, and damnation to prohibit
ton and the Midnight Masquer!"
From everyone broke a swift assent
to the toast, murmur of relieved ten
sion. The silver goblets were lifted,
touched in musical clinking Of edges.
and the aromatic breath of iuleps
tiled the library as the drinkers, in
true southern fashion, buried noses
in the fragrant mint. Then, as the
cups were lowered, from the recess of
the curtained windows at one end of
the room came a quiet voice:
II thank you, gentlemen! But l
must remind you, Maillard. that there
was not a time limit set in the note"
With a simultaneous gasp everyone
turned. Maillard staggered; his face
went livid. Every eye was fastened
upon that amazing figure now advanc-
ing from the shadows of the recess.
1t was the figure of an aviator, clad
in leather from top to toe, the goggles
and helmet shield completely masking
his head and features from recogni-
ton. In his hand he held an auto
matte pistol, which covered the group
of men before him with its threaten
ing mouth.
"Not a sound, If you please" he
warned, his voice thin and nasal-ob-
viously disguised. II trust that none
of you gentlemen is armed because

Plenty of the right kind of shade

two shade trees in a pasture are worse
than none at all since place to which
the sheep come day after day soon

add. The construction of small shades
which can be moved from place to
place is solving the difficulty for many
farmers.

Historians Have Never Been Sure of
Plans the Brilliant Adventurer
Had in Mind.

Aaron Burrs conspiracy has never
been entirely understood by historians.
He went West on some mysterious
mission shortly after his duel with
Alexander Hamilton, which resulted in
the latter's death, and it is suspected
that his purpose was either to found
g. new empire by separating the por-
ton of the country west of the Missis-
sippi from the rest of the Union, or
to make a conquest of Mexico. In
1906 he gathered up q number Of reck-

ARTIFICIAL SHADE FOR HOGS
Protection of Some Kind Should Be
Provided in Pasture Where
Trees Are Lacking.

Where there are no trees in the hog
pasture to provide the much-needed
shade during the summer months, an
artificial shade is a most important
part of the summer equipment. A
good shelter may be constructed by
setting short posts in the ground and
building a roof of light boards over
these. Windstorms should be guarded
against by mailing the boards securely.
