One of thcGarrison; Or, A nystcrlous Affair. CHAPTER VI. (Cont'd) "Thex- would bo nothing gained by your knowing. Indeed, you would hardly understand it if I told you. I muat bid you good day now, for I have *tayed with you too long, llemeniber, I count upon you ae oue of the L'komber garrmou now." "One other thing, sir." I said, hurriedly, for he wag turning away; "I hop* that you will not be angry with your daugh- ter for anything which 1 have told you. It was for my sake that she. kept It all eeret from you." "All right." h said, with his cold, in- Tillable eroilf. "I am not iiuch an orgo in the bottom of my family aa you seem to think. As to this marriage question, I rihould adviHe you a- a friend to let it drop altogether, but if that In iniposiilbfe I n. UM in- -i that it Btaud over complete- ly for the present It ia impoceiblo to tav what unexpected turn of eventu nr-v take. Oixxl-bye!" He plunged into the wood and was Quickly out of eight among the ilen.-r plantation. Thua ended this extraordinary inter- rlew, in which this strange man had be- gun by pointing a loaded pistol at my breast and had ended by partially ac- knowledging t-he possibility of my becom- ing li.f future aoa-in-law. I hardly knew whether to be cast down or elated over i'.. On the on band he wa likely, by keeping a closer v-h over hiH daugh- ter, to prevent us from commuaicating B freely as we had done hitherto. Against thl* there wa the advantage of having obtained an implied consent to the re- newal of my null at some future date. On the whole. 1 came to the conclusion as I walked throughtfully home that I had improved my petition by the incident. But this danger this shadowy, unspeak- able danger which appeared t- > rise up at every turn, and to hang day and night wrer th* tower* of C'loomber! Rack my brain as I would I oould not conjure up any solution to thu problem which was not puerile and inadequate. One fact truck me a being significant. Both thn father and I he son had assured me, inde- pendently of each other, that if I were told what the peril was, I would hardly realise its. significance. How strange, and bisarre must the fear be which ran ecarce be eipreiKed In intelligible language. I held up my hand in tho darknpmi before I turned to sloop that night, and I swore t-hat no power of man or devil nhnuld ever weaken my love for the woman wluxe pure heart I had had the good fortune to win. CHAPTER VII. In making thi<i statement I have pur- posely couched it in bald and simple Ian iruage, for fear I should he accused of x>lorlng my narrative for the sake of ef- fect. If, however, I have told my utory witb any approach to realism, the read- er will understand me when I - iy that by this time the succesHion of dramatic incident* which had occurred had arrest- d my attention and excited my imagin- ation to the exclusion of all minor topics. How could I plod through tho dull rou- tine of an agent's work, or interest my- self in the thatch of this tenant's bothy <>r tha nailN of that one's boat, when my mind wan taken up by the chain of evontH which 1 have described, and was Hill buny weking an explanation for the>m?

Regarded merely u an ah- tract problem, this mystery of the Ili-.iitnTi t-iiie family had a lurid fascina- tion about it, but when the woman whom I loved a thouxandfold better than I did myself proved to be no deeply mi. r<- <.! in the solution, I felt that it was impox- kible to turn my thought* to anything elxe until it hud been Dually cleared up. My good father had received a letter from the laird, dated from Naplcx, which told us that he had derived much benoftt from the change, and that he hud no In- tention of returning to Hcotland for some time. This was satisfactory to all of us, for my father hnd found UrankKozne auch an eiccllent place for study that it would have been a sore trial to him to return to the noise and tumult of a city.

"Yon are an impertinent iicoundrel," said the general. "If you had been a good soldier you would never need to ask for help. I i hull not give you a farth- ing." "One word more, eir," cried the tramp, for the other was turning away; "I've been in the Terada Pass." The old coldier sprang round M if the words had been a pitol-shot. "What - what d'ye mean?" he stammered. "I've been in the Terada Paeii. sir, and I know a man there called Oboolab Shah." These last word were hUhed out in an undertone, and a maliciouH griu over- spread the face of the speaker. Their effect upon the general was ex- traordinary. He fairly staggered back from the gateway, and his yellow coun- tenance blanched to a livid mottled gray. For a moment he wan too overooine to speak. At last he gapped out. "Ohoolrb Khaht^wbo ore you who know Ohoolab Shah?" "Take another look." ald tho tramp; "your eight U not o keen an it was forty years ago." The general took a long, earnest look at tho unkempt wanderer in front of him, and aa he gated I saw the light of recog- nition spring up in hie eyes. "Hod i> s my soul!" ho cried. "Why it'u Corporal Uufus Smith." "You've come, on it at laet," naid the other, chuckling to h.m..-:t "I was won- dering how long it would be before you ' knew me.

The general, whose face still bore evi- dences of his agitation, undid the bolts with nervous, trembling nngera. The re- cognition of Corporal Uufus Smith had. I fancied, been a relief to him, and yet he plainly showed by his manner that he regarded his presence a by uo meana an unmixed bleeping. "Why. loru^ral," he said, ae the gate swung ou*n.

This will be his fourth, and he has already spent $2,000,000 en- deavoring to secure the highest honor in the yachting world. If sporting conditions can be arrang- ed, his new yacht is to be called Shamrock IV., and like every Irish- man, he has great belief in the luck of the four-leaf shamrock. When Sir Thomas went over to America to watch the fight put up by Shamrock II., an inquisitive re- porter asked him: "Is the report correct that, in the event of Sham- rock winning, Mr. Watson and you intend to get married J" Sir Thomas replied that he could not speak for Mr. Watson, but aa for himself he thought one big job waa J enough to tackle at a time, and he j considered he had quite sufficient , trouble ahead without doing any- 1 thing so rash.

Character is made up of small duties faithfully performed, of de- nial, of self-sacrifice, of kindly acts, of love and duty. The backbone of character is laid at home, and whe- ther the constitutional tendencies be good or bad, home influences will, as a rule, fan them into ac- tivity. Kindness begets kindness, nd truth and trust will bear a rich harvest of truth and trust. There are many trival acts of kindness which teach us more about a man's character than many vague phrases.

The calf may be left with the cow for three or four days or until the milk is fit for use. The calf should then be taken away and placed in a separate stable, if it< is possible, as the cow will give less trouble if she cannot see her calf, writer Mr. J. C. McNutt. By missing one feed, the calf will usually be hungry enough to start p to drink readily and will usually j jive little trouble when it finds the ) bucket contains milk. Four pounds j :>f milk per feed three times a day for the first ten days will give the ! calf a good start when a small amount of skim milk may be substi- tuted for a part of the whole milk, the amount of the skim milk being increased, so that when the calf is a month old it is getting skim milk entirely. When the calf is two weeks old the feeds may be changed to two per day with the amount of milk increased, as the calf shows ability to handle it. After three weeks the calf will begin to eat a little grain. An excellent grain ' mixture for calves is made of corn- j meal, oats and wheat bran in equal parts, with a little linseed meal ad- ded. To grow calves we!! they should j have just what they will clean up, readily at each feed. Plenty of green grass is good for them, but in very hot or very cold weather a fine quality of clover hay will pro- duce excellent results. Calves should have milk until they are five or six months old, for best results. If they are forced to subsist on coarse feeds and grain too young they will be stunted, as their digestive system is not de- veloped enough to handle such food exclusively at an early age. Cotton seed meal should never be' fed to calves under twelve months of age. It always proves detrimen-j tal to development of the young' calf. This being true, it is better to feed such feeds as oats, bran and corn, which are known to be satis- factory. To secure good size the animal should continue to grow! steadily until mature. What to Feed the Poultry. The following is an excellent ra- 1 tion for fattening poultry : One part cornmeal, one part oak' flour, one part barley meal, one part beef scrap, eight parts butter-' milk or skim milk. This makes what is called slop' feed, as it is thin enough to pour.! The best feeding results are had with crate feeding. The birds, five or six in number, are placed in a slat coop. The bottom is of lattice work, and that makes it self-clean-! ing. There is plenty of room in the coop, but the idea is to prevent exercise. The crate should be put in a pro- tected place, but not in a house. Under a tree or at the side of a building is a good place, if it is where other fowls cannot molest' them. They are given no food for 24 hours previous to the feeding period, which should last from two to thre weeks. The milk will be sufficient to allay their thirst. Feed-' ing in this way has brought gains of from 25 to 85 per cent. It costs from five to seven cents' worth of grain to put on a pound of gain.: But if it did not pay from a feeding viewpoint it would in other ways, for the flesh of a bird fattened in this way is far better, being much whiter in appearance and more juicy and much more palatable.
