MY IADY'S MONEY
An Episode in the Life
of Young Girl
By Wilkie Collins

By Wilkie Collins

Samuel Bradstock!"
This ingenious exposition of the
exhaustive system of reasoning" failed
to produce any effect on Lady Lydiard.
You are wasting our time" she said,
sharply. "You know as well as do
that you are talking nonsense"
81 DON'T" said Felix Taking the
gentlemanly professions all around,
know of no men who are so eager to
get money, and who have so few
scruples about how they get it, as the
parsons. Where is there a man in
any other profession who perpetually
worries you for money? who holds the
bag under your nose for money? who
sends his clerk round from door to
door to beg few shillings of you, and
calls it an Easter offering?' The par
son does all this Bradstock is a par
son. put it logically. Bowl me over
if you can"
Mr.. Troy attempted to bowl him
over" nevertheless. Lady Lydiard
wisely interposed
when a man persists in talking
nonsense" she said, Silence is the
best answer; anything else only en-
courages him" She turned to Felix.
II have question to ask you" she
went on. you will either give me a
serious reply, or wish me good-morn-
ing" With this brief preface, she
made her inquiry as to the wisdom and
possibility of engaging the services of
the French police.
Felix took exactly the view of the
matter which had been already ex-
pressed by Mr.. Troy. Superior in in
telligence," he said, but not superior
in courage. to the English police. Cap
able of performing wonders on their
own ground and among their own peo-
pie. But, my dear aunt, the two most
dissimilar nations on the face Of the
earth are the English and the French.
The French police may speak our Ian
guage, but they are incapable Of un-
derstanding our national character and
our national manners. Set them to
work in the city of London, and the
English people would remain, from
first to last, the same impenetrable
mystery to them. In my belief, the
London Sunday would be enough of it.
self to drive them back to Paris in de.
.spair. No balls, no concerts, no the
aters, not even museum or picture
gallery open; every shop shut up but
the gin-shop, and nothing moving but
the church bells and the men who sell
the penny ices. Hundreds of French
men come to see me on their first ar
rival in England. Every man of them
rushes. back to Paris on the second Sat
urday of his visit, rather than confront
the horrors of a second Sunday in Lon
don. However, you can ,,y it, if you
like Send me written abstract OF
the case. and will forward it to one
of the official people in the Rue Jeru-
salem, who will do anything he can to
oblige me. OF course" said Felix,
turning. to Mr.. Troy, "some of you
have got the number of the lost bank
note. If the thief has tried to pass it
in Paris, my man may be of some use
to you"

"A hen ordinarily lays about $50
eggs" says Mr.. Mitchell, poultry spe
cialist. "a bird of good breeding will
lay about $50 eggs in year, nearly
twice as many as are laid by the scrub
hen. The most economical way Of
improving scrub focks is by putting a
purebred rooster at the head OF the
flock"

Necessary to Gull Flock.

First, decide how many hens you
are going to keep as breeders and
then buy, or contract for, enough cock
erels to mate with them. You will
need at least six for each hundred
hens. If you buy at three months of
age, and selected carefully, you will
need two for every one you wish to
mature. If you are careless in select
ing. you had better buy three.
This is the first step. Then Gull
your flock, according to the standards
fixed by the state college, or have 1t
culled by some one trained by the
college. Now you are ready for bust
ness.
If you want your flock, SO culled and
ready to mate, accredited, send 2 cents
for each hen to P. S. Dickey, secretary
of the Washington Accredited Hatch
cry and Breeders association, Puyal-
lup, and ask to be put on the accredit-
ed list. The association will do the
rest.
If you want your hatchery accred-
tied, send an additional fee of $500
per thousand Matching capacity. II
you intend to buy and hatch eggs from
outside flocks, send complete list of
all these hocks. When all of these
fiocks are accredited, your hatchery
will be accredited.
Fees to Be Paid.
This Is the whole thing In nut
she'll You don't have to walt for an
application blank, although these will
be ready for distribution later. Simply
meet the requirements as above, and
state that you are ready to comply
with the rules of the association, and
In due time supervisor will visit
your farm. If he finds conditions as
represented, you will be accredited.
Some counties are asking t. they
might file through their local secre-
tary. Yes, hundred, or thousand,
men may so file, provided that the 10.
cal secretary later file all applications
with the state secretary.
In conclusion, let me call your at
tention to the fact that there is a
minimum fee of $500 per flock and
$1,000 per thousand Matching capac-
ity. These fees cover all 1ocks up to
$50 hens, all hatcheries up to 5000 ca
pacity.
