LETTER FROM LESLIE PRES
COTT TO LESLIE PRESCOTT,
O0NTTNVTED

I was perfectly silent, little Mar
quise. I did not intend to help that
woman exploit any Of her scandalous
thoughts. She ought to know that
Jack must have many models and of
course they are all pretty girls. If
1 were to start in being jealous OF all
| the young women who are connected
with him in his business I would have
nothing else to do except be very
miserable.
After a few moments silence she
said, Have you heard the plot Of
the play by any chance, Mrs. Pres
| cott?" and before I could answer no,
/ she commenced to tell me a long
story about a man who had betrayed
q girl and before the baby was born
had fallen in love with another girl
and married her.
Isn't It Funny
isn't it strange" she said to me
right here, that men will do those
things and then expect to marry
beautiful. virtuous young women?
often wonder If any Of us would
marry if we could look into the pasts
of the men whose wives we become. "
I rather fiared up at this. little
/ Marquise, and I told her that I felt
had no right to inquire into my hus-
bands past before I married him
and she countered with, do you also
think that he has no right to inquire
into yours?"
Absolutely not
But you know all men expect their
wives lives from the cradle to mar

is one page in 1t that is marred or
creased or wrinkled or blurred, they

Don't you think that has gone out
of fashion. Mrs. Smithson?" I asked.

you. if, inst for the sake Of illustra-
ton, may say that the dear little
baby boy who was placed on the step
, outside this apartment was found to
be your own-what do you think your
, husband would do If the knowledge
of this came to hfm2"
II don't know. I hope he would

then I stopped. I knew she wouldn't
understand. The expression on her

ct hope" repeated, that If l had
loved a man well enough to give my
self to him when 1 was very young
and If he had gone out of my life and
something had come up that made
me understand he was not worthy,
and ar last I had found another man
who did seem worthy and who loved
me and married me, 1 hope he would
understand. If in my loneliness and
mother love I had contrived way TO
have my baby with me. hope the
good God would take pity upon me
and never let my husband know. never
let him be grieved or me tortured"
Then, If the case were reversed
you would never want to know, Mrs.
Prescott7" she asked.

MEANS OF SPREADING IT. b.
Several Causes Responsible for Preva.
lenee Of Dread Disease Among
Cattle Herds.

How did tuberculosis get such a
hold in my herd7" is question that
has puzzled many stockman. The
following causes have been found by
experts to be largely responsible for
the prevalence of tuberculosis among
cattle:
Bringing INFESTED cattle into the
herd.
Common drinking tank.
Common feeding troughs or pasture
Nosing at fence lines or breaking
through fences.
Poorly ventilated barns or sheds.
Feeding of unpasteurized milk from
infected cows to calves or hogs.
Unburned dead animals eaten OF
scattered by hogs or dogs.
Breeding to infected bull or serving
cows outside tested herds.
There are other ways in which the
disease can be spread. but undoubted.
ly stockmen can do much to check
the inroads of this disease by reducing
to the minimum danger from the
sources mentioned.

The use Of acid phosphate with ma

nitrogen, as well as actually adding

phosphate is frequently recommended
for use with manure, but 1t does not
do much good as a preservative,
though it is undoubtedly of benefit as

readily available it viii be good as a
