veloping into an alteration. The
diners, who knew all about the para
graph, were smiling broadly.
II asked you where she was" said
Winton doggedly.
Winton's former waitress took pity
on him. She had liked Winton, and ad-
mired him as different from the crowd
who focked into the place. "She's
gone to the races" she whispered
Winton left the hotel. He knew that
he had made fool Of himself for the
second time. The story Of his infatu-
alton would be all over Malopo.
He had not known that there was
any racing that day. He had noticed
nothing, absorbed as he was with his
one thought. But now he saw that a
procession of carts and wagons, horse
men and pedestrians with here and
there a smart dog-cart, was making it's
way toward the south side of the town.
Winton tramped along in their wake,
until Malopo was left behind, and he
saw the race course In front of him,
crowded with spectators.
Vehicles Of every kind were drawn
up about it. and as he approached he
saw the spectators clearing from the
track. Then he perceived the horses
galloping round the ellipse.,
He worked his way through the mob
to the grandstand, roughly
ed hodgspodse Of crude uprights and
seats, paid his admission fee, and be-
gan to search it Systematically for
Sheila. She was not there; he assured
himself OF that after a few minutes
of careful scrutiny. There mrst have
been thousand persons present, and
the general disorder upon the course
made his investigation difficult; but
he was resolved to find her.
He began to make his way around
the barriers, scrutinizing the occupants
Of the vehicles. II Sheila was at the
races, some man had taken her, prob
ably in a carriage. But Winton's jeal-
Ousy was smothered by his concern.
Nearly all Malopo had turned out.
Everybody was drinking and shouting
and yelling as the horses came gallop-
Ing home toward the flag box
Of the judges. Bookmakers, standing
on chairs, shouted the odds, and ev-
erybody held racing card in his hands.
A dozen men caught at Winton, offer
ing odds:
''Shylock, three to two Back the
favorite, gents! Little Boy, nine to
four! Here y'are, misterl'
He shook himself free, growing more
and more somber and resolute as the

Judge Davis looked about him unctu-
ously and smacked his lips. He knew
well how to take advantage of the ad-
miration which his gallery play
aroused.
'The Chronicle will not be intimi-
dated in its policy of public Justice"
he pursued. do you wish to lay a
charge of assault and battery against
Mr.. Garrett?" he inquired of Sam.
81 want him arrested!" yelled Sam.
'He cut my lip. I'm British subject
and l demand justice"
"And you shall have it," answered
the judge white or colored, every
man is entitled to the full protection
of the law Go home, young man, and
reflect on that" he said to Winton
81 made a mistake" said Winton
hoarsely.
THAT'S better, my friend"
Eyes, made a mistake" he shouted,
shaking his fist in the judges face.
"Next time this happens it's you who
will pay the penalty. I'll take the hide
off your bones, you cowardly dog, old
as you are Understand me-" he con-
tinued, looking so frantic that the
judge stepped back to avoid the antici-
pated blow, powerful as you may be
in this town, you'll attack any woman
through the medium of your paper at
your personal peril !"
Pushing his way through the crowd,
he went at great rate until he found
himself unaccompanied. He began to
realize that he had made a fool Of him
self. He had given Sheila exactly that
publicity which he desired to avoid.
He had played into his enemies hands.
He must find her now before any
thing else was DONE
He strode into the Continental. The
men were just going into the dining
room. WintOn accompanied the crowd;
but at the cashiers desk he saw a stout
blonde, with rouged face and penciled
eyebrows, and Sheila was nowhere in
the room. The entrance of Winton,
glaring about him and showing all
the evidences of his agitation, at
tracted universal attention.
The manager recognized him as one
of his disappointments. Winton's re
moval to the, European had angered
him, and he had a sneering remark
at the tip of his tongue which died
away as he saw the look on Wintons
face
where's Miss Seaton?' demanded
Winton.

man. This amt no drawing room

don't, get out"

EARLY CHICKS PAY BEST
EITHER FOR EGGS OR MEAT

Early Matched chicks are by far
the most profitable, whether grown
to maturity for laying or sold as
poultry flesh, says the United
States Department of Agriculture,
and the following suggestions in
regard to the successful raising and
feeding of young chicks have been
found to be practical.
The brooder house and stove
heater which are used for caring
for the chicks during the first few
weeks of their lives must be in
working order before the chicks ar
rive. The most common style of
brooding is the use of a stove
brooder in a colony house, keeping
from $50 to 500 chicks in a flock
in each house and placing the houses
about $50 feet apart on a good grass
range. A house 10 by IA feet makes
a suitable colony house which can
be readily moved if built on runners.
Chicks brooded early in the season
will do better in large house, about
10 by 20, partitioned so that one side
is used for brooder stove and the
other for a cool exercising room.
Wire netting should be placed in
the corners Of the brooder house to
prevent the chicks from huddling
and crowding in the corners.
Chicks should not be fed for the
first 36 to 48 hours, after which they
should be supplied regularly four or
five times daily with easily digested
feed which contains little waste
Il Oh H.
ingly until about the fifth day, when
they can be put on full ration. An
excellent feed can be made of in
fertile eggs taken from the incu-
bator, boiled for Is minutes, chopped,
and mixed with a dry mash of
equal parts of cracker meal, bran,
and corn meal, using a sufficient
amount of the grain to make dry
crumbly mixture. Dry rolled oats
are excellent for chicks and can be
used as one feed; the other two or
three feeds being the commercial
grains.
At two weeks of age the chicks
can be given dry mash in hopper.
consisting of parts, by weight, of
rolled oats, parts bran, 2 parts
corn meal, part high-grade meat
scrap, 1 part middlings, and y part
dried buttermilk. Commercial chick
feed should be fed three times daily
in addition to the dry mash Milk
is an excellent feed for chicks and
should be provided either as a liquid
or in the dry form to secure the best
growth.
When the chicks are one month
old, they should be fed a coarSer or
intermediate chick grain, and ut
about two months of age the scratch
feed can be changed to equal parts
of wheat and cracked corn, fed two
or three times day.

"Sheila, I asked you why you are
here" said WintOn with patient OBJ
stinacy.
The girl smiled mirthlessly. 81 am
here with gentleman, Mr.. Garrett
she answered. Surely that is answer
enough. Do l look as if 1 had been
dragged here against my will?
Her lips quivered, but she was COM
posed enough. NO." answered Win
ton. And there was nothing more to
say. A few of those about the carriage
were beginning to look at the trio Gu
riOusly. Then the start of a race drew
away their attention, and the course
was pandemonium of yelling spec
tators as the horses ran by.
WintOn turned and began to make
his way homeward. He had been on
the point of making a fool of himself
for the third time that day: but his
tragedy had turned into a sordid
drama. He felt that he did not want
to see Sheila again.
He took a circuitOus road back to
Malopo. 1t was nearly sunset when
he arrived. He meant to go to the
claim, but somehow an impulse made
him linger in the town long after the
stream of vehicles with their shouting
occupants had returned from the race
track.
He watched the scene bitterly, the
riotous groups that pervaded the mar
ket square, gathered about the stoepS
Of the hotels and filing every saloon.
He hated Malopo more bitterly than
he could have thought possible. Some
how it seemed like a concrete enemy,
a soulleSs monster that ground men,
body and soul, as it had ground Sheila.
And in spite Of himself the memory
of the girl came back to him, and with
1t a great terror. A sense of danger
to her set his feet along the mean
street that led to the sordid brick
houses.
Sheila, alone in Malopo, and De Witt,
hot after his prey Sheila, helpless
1t was growing dark as suddenly as
darkness falls in the low ATTITUDES.
WintOn hastened until he saw the
squalid court before him, and the pump
in the center. There was a light in
the girls room, and the dog-cart was
drawn up at her door-no, not the dog
cart, but Cape cart, with a pair of
horses, such as is used for travelling.
And in it sat De Witt, amid a pile Of
small pieces of baggage.
AS Winton drew near he saw Sheila
standing in the doorway. She wore
her hat and a travelling cloak. De Witt
bent down and spoke to her; he gave
her his hand, and, hesitantly, the girl
went forward
Then Winton sprahg out of the shad-
ows between them. And there was NO
need to ask any questions.
De Witt leaped to the ground; but
before the men came to the grapple
Sheila had caught with eager hands
at Winton'S appraised arm.
"Stop!' she cried. For nay sake,
stop! You don't understand
Hell understand soon enough 7"
snarled De Witt, beside himself with
rage. Il won't fight him You aren't
worth it, I've been patient and waited
to the limit; now you send the fool
away, or your father can swing!'
Go" whispered Sheila, and, releas-
ing Winton, she put her hands to her
head and looked at De Witt in terror
Where are YOU taking her?" de-
manded Winton.

behavior of the moo became more un-
restrained, and the sickness in his
heart grew as he thought of Sheila
there.
How could the girl find pleasure in
such a place? And who was her COM
panion?
He looked at the faces of the women
seated in the carriages, and for the
first time he was conscious of a ter
rible fear. He knew next to nothing
of Sheila. Suppose he had been mis-
taken and had read in her what was
not there-and denied to himself the
existence of qualities that were evident
to any less infatuated than himself
He recalled the yelled warnings of
Van Beer and Ned.
He had forced himself upon the girl.
and, If he had mistaken her nature
and character, how could he blame
her?
At last he found her in the middle
afternoon.
She was seated in a smart dog-cart
OCS1dC OC w III 14C was NAlCulIlR IuG
race and shouting vociferously as he
waved his card His animation owed
a good deal to the empty bottles of
champagne at his feet Sheila was
listening to him, and laughing. Win
ton wondered whether her mirth con-
cealed any deeper feeling whether she
was enjoying her situation there
Why had she gone with De Witt?
His heart began to gallop. He walked
slowly toward them. He understood at
that moment why men kill each other
over women. He knew that jealousy
had the least share in his emotions:
rather it was the sense that death
alone could justify the girls outrage
against her better nature.
He did not know what he was going
to do. Had he had a revolver he would
probably have fred automatically at
De Witt, and awakened to find him
dead at his feet. AS it was, the sit
uation was relaxed in just such COM
monplace way as aSerts so many uag-
edies. De Witt recognized him ana
nodded with surly amicability. She1la
smiled anxiously.
"That was good run" called De
Witt. ~"Miss Sheila and l have hooked
in fifty pounds on Little Boy"
Winton did not answer him, but fixed
his eyes on Sheilas face. He knew
now that his dreams had been a de-
lusion, that the girl was not to blame;
that she was worthless woman who
had become nothing to him.
He met her look gravely, and then,
through the smiling mask, he seemed
to penetrate TO the girls tortured soul.
He read the hopelessness, the shame
beneath her smile.
"Why are you here?" he asked.
De Witt, who was half drunk, turned
to him in maudlin remonStrance.
II tell you why she's here" he hic-
cuped. Because she likes me. See?
Likes me and don't care about you
eh. Sheila?'
He placed his arm about her, and
the girl, shrinking in his grasp, yet did
not seem to resent the familiarity.
'Sheila," said Winton, IF you came
here out of affection for that man,
Heaven knows it's no business of mine.
I'll go away. But if you came here
because he threatened you by means
of the power he has over your father,
Heaven help him!"
DE Witt leaned forward and clutched
the whip. you go to the devil !'' he
rOared.
