a weasel at the entrance Of a ston.

a weasel at the entrance of a stone
rat-hole!
No wonder H%asbrouck Rutherford
cried out so hoarsely that they heard
him through the thick door, with that
great beast at his throat!
They found him when they came in,
far down at the bottom of the shiny
stairs, a great, loose bulk against the
outside door-the dog standing over
him.
They're that way" said the English
servant who had lifted him, comment
ing afterwards, those dogs! I've seen
them in the old country. They never
touch a thing that's dead
He must have fallen backward
when the beast jumped at him-from
just near the top" said the other to
whom he spoke, discussing the prob
abilities of what no man actually saw.
What could you expect?" asked the
other. "a heavy man like that-strik-
ing backward on his neck"
But whatever may have been the
exact and unanticipated cause of Has
brOuck Rutherford's W death, his
prophecies concerning the extinction
of the Gorgam Trust had not yet been
fulfilled. In fact, a very singular stu
alton had been created by his last
act. The two chief active agents
the physical brain and body, so to
speak, of that great legal person
had gone. But the Trust itself lived
on. And it still held in it's incorporeal
grasp the young ward around whose
person it had been constructed.

US; when we go out, It goes out tool"
He spoke now in a voice touched by
a kind of ecstasy-the voice of one
who stands on a pinnacle of high emo
tons, of intense thought, with all the
petty motives of life put behind him.
And Mary Manchester, watching him,
debated what she should do-could do.
Could she, if she would. convey to
those outside the cumbrOus eXplana-
ton of the one thing which must be
done-how to prevent the entrance of
this man she and the other watcher
now expected? Could she do this before
the man prevented her; and should
she, if she could, draw them into this
danger of almost certain death? But
then a sudden light came into her eyes.
She heard the louder growing of the
angry dog behind the door into the hall.
In spite of her h%urrying thoughts, the
girl herself sat perfectly silent-still
apparently unresisting, waiting for the
execution of her plan, the thing she
had definitely decided would be best
for her to do now. Certainly, she rea-
soned, having brought this man here to
help her, she and no one else was re-
sponsible-and should take the risk
The least that she now could do was
to prevent his murder. She waited, lis
tening-to the growing puzzled murmur
outside the hallway door, the occasion
al protests of the dog, the sound of
the heavy, even breathing of the man
beside her. Then all at once the one
particular sound that she waited for
came. She heard the sound of some
one moving behind the side door-the
door of the personal entrance of old
Daniel Gorgam to his study. At last,
she knew, it was time for her to act.
There are certain advantages which
women have, even in a time of vio-
lence. She was lighter, quicker-sensed,
more responsive to her nervous i'm
one might say, than this great
brute beside her. She heard first; she
moved first; and when the key was
turning in the lock of old Daniel Cor
gains private door, on the other side
a girl with disheveled hair and fright
ened voice was beating IN the panels,
and crying out in wild warning:
keep out-keep out-keep outl He
will kill you'll He will kill you'll He
will kill you'll"

you've got to let me go now" she
said, aroused, seeing he would never
take her seriously. I'm going to leave
here-stop this farce of pretending to
be what / am not-go away. And II
I've done this wrong" she said, FOL

smiling. Go where?"

to take her seriously.

ing my temperature-opposing me. You
wait. 1 can't have you doing this
yet"
1t was a surprise to her, in a way
all very different from what she had
expected. She saw very clearly now
what must be done by her. She must
confess publicly, show who she was
take whatever punishment there was
for her act; end this Trust and turn
the great fortune over to its rightful
owner. All that was necessary was
for him to consent-to help her show
the situation, who she really was. And
this she had supposed he would do
most readily. She was therefore most
surprised at his attitude. He might
not care, it seemed to her, to keep
the Gorgam Trust alive, but he GER
tainly had no haste about ending it.
"What do you take me for?" he
asked her with an approach to seri-
BUSINESS when she kept urging him. do
you think I'll let you do what you are
talking about? Drag this thing through
courts-and incidentally yourself? Get
smeared with publicity like a common
criminal?"
why shouldn't 1 be? l am one"
"There seems to be-" he said, "a
difference of opinion upon that point
between you and me. And BESIDES"
he said with a rather masterful and
peremptory way he seemed to be tax
ing with her at times lately, II don't
propose you SHALL You are not strong
enough-well enough, for one thing;
and you know it,"
But she insisted that she was, and
that she would go in some way. And
he must let her. Finally he mentioned
the possibility of a compromise.
"IH tell you what I will do, though"
he conceded. 81 believe that between

us we can work out a compromise.
Just wait. Be patient"
1t was some little time-after he
was able finally to be driven out to
take care of business matters to some
extent-before he brought out, one
night when they were together in the
smallest and most homelike of the
great downstairs rooms, the compro-
mise which he had been working out.
Lately she had been more and more
insistent on having matters settled,
more and more determined to get away
from her false p~osition-and in a way,
from him, the man whom she had
~conspired to injure and keep from his
rights.
"In tell it all to you in ORDER" he
said. "-my scheme for a compromise.
I've been working on it for some little
time"

"In the first place." he told her, II
have done this: 1t was necessary, you
see," he said, explaining, that some
one be appointed to the position of
Jasper Haig as active manager of the
Trust"
YES" she said, waiting.
$50 1 had myself appointed. You
don't object?" he asked her when she
did not answer but sat looking at
him.
"object, moi" she said. "Why
should /? It's all yours, anyway-not
mine. Yet I don't understand it," she
added somewhat suspiciously. It
seemed to her that it might be another
scheme of evasion or delay on his
part-to keep her from doing what she
intended to.
ST thought" he said, that perhaps
you might thank me for it But you
will-youll understand it later. That's
the first point. Now the second point
in my scheme: I've arranged it now,
what you wanted, so that you are no
longer Adelaide Rutherford-that is,
you will not have the unpleasant fea-
lures of her! I've fixed it so you will
be no longer under that cloud of being
legally insane.'
"That does not change the real sit
uation about Adelaide Rutherford" she
objected, "-the n thing that would
be almost impossible to bear"
"What?"
"Her reputation of having been In
sane"
Her reputation" he said, with

anced Ration
(By M. A. Nye, Blue Valley Farm
Service.)
We have heard much about bal
anced rations. Dairy experts, agri-
cultural papers, speakers, writers
and farmers speak of feeding balanc-
ed rations to stock. Therefore, to
feed a balanced ration must be inn
portant.
Does it produce milk at reduced
cost? Do my present feeds that /
have on hand for the winter permit
me to feed a balanced ration? viii
the crops which ! plan to put out this
next spring give me any balance to
my next winters feed? Am feeding
one now? Would have to buy ex-
pensive feeds to balance my rations
What crops will I have to raise in
order to have balanced ration up
at my barn each fall for my winters
feeding?
We will try to throw more light
upon the question of a balanced ra-
ton in the following paragraphs.
No feed by itself except grass pas
ture makes good balanced feed for
stock.
Good pasture has all the needs of a
balanced feed. Young stock will grow
