Sorting Out the Layers.During July and August the laying

flock should receive considerable atten-tion, declares Mr. Willard C. Thompsonof the New Jersey Experiment Station.At this time-egg production will natur-ally dropoff considerably, as the periodof natural and extremely heavy produc-tion is practically over. This is tbeReason which Nature has intended a3 aresting period for the fowl.

As the economical and practical poul-try keeper desires to keep only birdswhich will bring him the greatest profit,t is important that every year the lay-

ing flock should be carefully lookedover, with the object of removing a partof these laying birds and any that havenot been good producers. The besttime to do this is iu the summer or be-fore the birds are housed for the winter.Under most conditions practically one-half of the laying flock should be dis-posed of each year. With few excep-tions tne birds culled out will be thosethat are nearly through their secondyear of egg production. The year ofheaviest production i-j the pullet yearAs the birds grow older the number ofeggs produced during the year decreases

Oue-half, tbeu, of the older birdsshould be disposed of in July and Au-gust, their places to be taken by pulletshatched during tbe current reason. Theremaining birds will probably form tbebasis of tbe breeding stock for anotherseason. The pullets should be depend-ed upon to produce eggs only. Pro-bably in ^very flock there will be anumber of birds whose general char-acteristics do not, point to their beinggood producerp. Good laying birds areusually characterized by adepth of bodyparticularly in the rear parts where theegg producing organs are located; bylarge, bright comb and head parts; clearbright eyes, and alert, active carriage.The birds with little bodies, small combsand apparent lack of developmentshould go along with the aged birds tothe market. Where trap nests are usedthis culling out of the flock is' mucheasier, for the individual records of eachbird are known. ,

The "boarders" should Dot be keptiu tbe flock, and it should be so man-aged as to increase the number of'•workers."

Henry Ford is suggested as a Repub-lican candidate for the Presidency onthe ground that, like his car, he can"run on his reputation." The Repub-lican party is full of candidates of thatkind.

| he Last f o r ! in the Lusitania Case;The President's Message to Berlin

• WASHINGTON—Following is tho official

toxt of the latest American note to Germany

regarding submarine warfare:

THE SECRETARY OF STATE

TO AMBASSADOR GERARD.

DEPARTMENT OF STATE, WASHINGTON.iI You are instructed to deliver textual!}' the

following noto to the Minister for Foreign Af-

fairs:

The note of the Imperial German Govern-ment dated the Sth of July, 1915, has receivedthe careful consideration of the Governmentof the United States, and it regrets to "beobliged to say that it has found it very un-satisfactory, because it fails to meet the realdifferences between the two governments andindicates no way in which the accepted •prin-ciples of law and humanity may be applied inthe grave matter in controversy, but proposes,on the contrary, arrangements for a partialsuspension of those principles which virtuallyset them aside.

The Government of the United States notes'with satisfaction that the Imperial GermanGovernment recognizes without reservationthe validity of the principles insisted on in theseveral communications which this Govern-ment has addressed to the Imperial (GermanGovernment, with regard to its announcementof a war zone and the use of submarinesagainst merchantmen on the high seas—theprinciple that the high seas are free, that thecharacter and cargo of a merchantman mustfirst be ascertained before she can lawfullybe seized or destroyed, and that the lives ofnon-combatants may in no case be put injeopardy unless the vessel resists or seeks toescape after being summoned to submit toexamination, for a belligerent act of retaliationis per se an act beyond the law, and the de-tense of an act as retaliatory is an admissionthat it is illegal.

The Government of the United States is,however, keenly disappointed to find that theImperial German Government regards itself asin large degree exempt from the obligation toobserve these principles, even- where neutral

'vessels are concerned, by what it believes thepolicy and practice of the Government of GreatBritain to be in the present war with regardto neutral commerce.

The Imperial German Government willreadily understand that the Government of theUnited States cannot discuss the policy of theGovernment of Great Britain with regard toneutral trade except with that Governmentitself, and that it must regard the conduct ofother belligerent governments as irrelevant toany discussion with the Imperial German Gov-ernment of what this Government regards asgrave and unjustifiable violations of the rightsof American citizens by German naval com-manders.

Illegal and inhuman acts, however justifi-able they may be thought to be against anenemy who is believed to have acted in con-travention of law and humanity, are manifestlyIndefensible when they deprive neutrals oftheir acknowledged rights, particularly whenthey violate the right to life itself.

If a belligerent cannot retaliate against anenemy without injuring the lives of neutrals,as w"ell as their property, humanity, as well asjustice and a due regard for the dignity ofneutral PoweBS, should dictate that the prac-tice be discontinued. If persisted in it W o u l « r ^ friendship between the people and Governmentin such circumstances constitute an unpardon- of thc\United States and the people and Gov-

ecsential or fundamental right of its peoplebecause of a mere alteration of circumstance.

The rights of neutrals in time of war arebased upon principle, not upon expediency,and the principles are immutable. It is thoduty and obligation of belligerents to find away to adapt the new circumstances to them.

The events of the paBt two months haveclearly indicated that it is possible and prac-ticable to conduct such submarine operationsas have characterized the activity of the Im-perial German navy within the so-called warzone in substantial accord with the acceptedpractices of regulated warfare.

The whole world has looked -with interestand increasing satisfaction at the demonstra-tion of that possibility by German naval com-manders. It is manifestly possible, therefore,to lift the whole.-practice of submarine attackabove the criticism which it has aroused andremove the chief causes of offense.

In view of the admission of illegality madeby the Imperial Government when it pleadedthe right of retaliation in defense of its acts,and in view of the manifest possibility of con-forming to the established rules of naval •war-fare, the Government of the United States can-

-not believe that the Imperial Government willlonger refrain from disavowing the wantonact of its naval commander in sinking theLusitania or from offering reparation for theAmerican lives lost, so far as reparation canbe made for a needless destruction of humanlife by an illegal act.

The Government of the United States, whilenot indifferent to the friendly spirit in whichit is made, cannot accept the suggestion ofthe Imperial German Government that certain

\esse l s be designated and agreed upon whichshall be free on the seas now illegally pro-scribed.

The very agreement would, by implication,subject other vessels to illegal attack andwould be a curtailment and therefore an aban-donment of the principles for which this Gov-ernment contends and which in times of calmercounsels every nation would concede as of.course.

The Government of the United States andthe Imperial German Government are contend-ing for the same great object, have long stoodtogether in urging the very principles uponwhich the Government of the United Statesnow so solemnly insists. They are both con-tending for the freedom of the seas. TheGovernment of the United States will continueto contend for that freedom, from whateverquarter^ violated, without compromise and at.any cost. It invites the practical co-operationof the Imperial German Government at thistime when co-operation may accomplish mostand this great common object be most strik-ingly and effectively achieved.

The Imperial German Government ex-presses the hope that this object may be insome measure accomplished even before thepresent war ends. It can be. The Govern-ment of the United States not only feels ob-liged to insist upon it, by whomsoever vio-lated or ignored, in the protection of its owncitizens,- but is also deeply interested in see-ing it made practicable between the belliger-ents themselves, and holds itself ready at anytime to act as the common friend who maybe privileged to suggest a way.

In the meantime the very value which thisQvernment sets ufton the long and unbroken

able offense"against the sovereignty of the neu-tral nation affected.

Tho Government of the United States isnot unmindful of the extraordinary conditionscreated by this war or of tho radical altera-tions of circumstance and method of attackproduced by the use of instrumentalities ofnaval warfare which the nations of the worldcannot have had in view when the^ existingrules of international law were formulated, andIt Is ready to make every reasonable allowancefor these novel and unexpected aHpects of warat sea, but it cannot consent to abate any

ernment of the German National impels it topress very solemnly, upon the Imperial GermanGovernment the necessity for a scrupulousobservance of neutral rights in this criticalmatter.

Friendship itself prompts it to say to theImperial Government that rep'etition by thecommanders of German naval vessels of actsin contravention of those rights must bo re-regarded by the Government of the UnitedStates, when they affect American citizens, asdeliberately unfriendly.

GERARD DELIVERSNOTE AT BERLIN

AMBAS8ADOR GIVES MESSAGE TOVON JAGOW WITHOUT

FORMALITY.

THINK SITUATION SERIOUS.

Washington Sure Break Will Cornsif Submarine Warfare

Goes On.

Berlin (via -wireless to Sayvllle, L.10—The United States Government'snoto on the submarine issue was de-livered to the German Foreign Office/by Ambassador Gerard.

The American Ambassador did notresort to any ceremony in presentingthe document. He rolled the notewithin a copy of an engineering mag-azine and walked with it in his handacross the square from the Embassyto the Foreign Office, where he wasreceived by the Foreign Minister, Dr#von Jagow.

Mr. Gerard remained in conversestion with Dr. von Jagow thirty min-utes. After leaving the Ambassadorwas surrounded by newspaper men,to whom he would give no intimationregarding the exact contents of thenote.. Dr. von Jagow was also retic-ent. Arrangements for Its publica-tion were made.

The note was transmitted to Ber-lin In seven sections. The first two ar-rived at night and the remaining sec-tions -were all here by 5 o'clock thenoit morning.

1,478 LIVES LOST IN CHICAGOEXCURSION STEAMER DISASTER

Steamer Eastland Lists at Dock Carrying Passengers WithHer in Plunge to the Riverbed—Western Electric

Employes Were Starting on Annual Outing—Entire City Appalled by Calamnity—Investi-

gations Begun—Many Acts of Heroism.

Chicago.—A conservative estimatejblaces the casualty list at 1,478 inthd sinking of the lake steamer East-land, -which capsized at its dock here,"whllo loaded -with employes of theWestern Electric Company and theirfamilies about to start on thefr an-nual picnic. Most of the bodies havebeen recovered by divers. Federaland city official will make a search-Ing investigation.

"A considerable part of the blamefor the Eastland disaster rests uponthe United States Inspection Bureau,"said Maclay Hoyne, State's Attorney,In a statement regarding his investi-gation of the wreck. "If the inspec-tors had done their duty the accidentcould not have occurred.

"We know the ship was consideredunsafe by thorn, because I have copiesof letters sent to Washington whichpredicted the awful occurrence. Imay introduce those letters at the in-Quest."

Other investigations were beingconducted by the police and by theGovernment Steamboat InspectionDepartment.

The Eastland has given up 901

a tug that made taut to warp thaEastland from the dock siartad pullingtoo soon; that congestion; of passen-gers rushing to the port aide attractedby some passing sensation tipped thesteamer over. .

According to steamship men thoamount in damages which the rela-tives of persons who perished on theEastland can recover Is only the valueof the hull. It is estimated to baworth $10,000.

Scores of firemen worked in the riv-er, where the great hull of the lakesteamer lies on Its side, taking fromthe dark waters the bodies of men,women and children whose lives werecut off in the midst of pleasure seek-ing.

When bodies were Identified at thetomporary morgue in the Second Regi-ment Armory they were taken awayby relatives, and almost immediatelythe places vacated were filled by othtrbodies brought from the river in po-lice, ambulances.

Hndreds kept vigil at the armorythrough the night, and at the breakof day their numbers were increasedby the arrival of others who resumed

Washington.—The note presented attho German Foreign Office by Ambas-sador Gerard, as viewed in Washing'ton, means that another submarineattack on American life will resultin a break between Germany and theUnited States.

The climax of President Wilson's•warning to Germany In regard to therights of Americans comes in thefinal sentence of his note, as follows:

"Friendship' itself prompts it (theUnited States Government) to say tothe Imperial Government that repe-tition by the commanders ot Germannaval vessels of-acts in contraventionof those rights must be regarded bythe Government of the United States,when they affect American citizens, asdeliberately unfriendly."

But that is not the only expressionthrough which President Wilsonvoices the determination of himselfand the American people. He notifiesGermany that the United States willcontend for its rights as a neutral"without compromise and at anycost."

Practices of the German navalforces such as have been protestedby this Government, if persisted in,will constitute "an "unpardonable of-fence against the sovereignty of anyneutral nation affected."

An Equal Application.As against these severe statements

there is a feature of the note whichis expected to go far toward allayingthe deep anti-American feeling that islikely to be- aroused in Germany. ThePresident's warning that the UnitedStates will contend for Americanrights on the high seas "without com-promise and without cost" is made toapply equally to Great Britain as wellas to Germany. These rights will beprotected "from whatever quarter vio-lated" is the way Mr. Wilson puts it.

There is no doubt that this will beregarded both in Germany and in theUnited States as a promise on thepart of this Government to deal asvigorously and insistently with Brit-ish violation of neutral rights on thehigh seas as with those o( Germany.

It often has been assertsd that couldthe German Government and feople beconvinced that the United States Gov-ernment was sincerely trying only toassert its rights and not to favor theAllies as against Germany mucn of tneresentment caused by the submarineissue would instant.lv disappear. Thisexpression was deliberately writteninto the note with this phase in mind.

Another Cor:olli?tor> Feature.There is still another feature of the

note in which thp Gorman Covfin-ment may fin-1 some cause for grati-fication. Tha President, in two para-graphs written by his own hand, ad-verts to the remarks of the Germannote of July 8 about the mutual interest of the two Governments in "thefreedom of the seas" and opens thoway to Germany to prove the sincerityof her statement that she really de-sires law to prevail during this war.

Declaring that both Governmentsare contending for the freedom of thoseas, the note Invotes the practicalco-operation of the German Govern-ment "at this tlm6 when co-operationmay accomplish moBt."

The President not only echoes thoexpressed wish of Germany that thisobject may be accomplished duringthe present war, but also asserts thatit can be attained.

An Interpreted" Warning.The President's words are combined

with- the assertion of this Govern-ment's determination to protect thorights ot American citizens at allcosts, and In some quarters createdthe impression that they were intend-ed to give notice that if the ielliger-

! ents themselveB did not enter into anarrangement whereby American rightswould be respected on the high seastho United States Gorernment wouldbe inclined to take such measures asmight be necessary to secure suohrights.

EASTLAND OWNERS WARNED.

"Great Risk of Serious Loss of Life,". Said Secretary of Com-

merce Redfield.

Syracuse.—William C. Redfield. seerotary of Commerce, mado public cor-respondence with W. H. Hull, genera!manager of tho Chiparo-St. JoeSteamship Company, owners of thqsteamer Eastland. These lettersprove that the Eastland was inade-quately equipped for emergencies.They show further that the manage-ment of the steamship was unwillingto meet the requirements of the sea-men's act and frankly asked its sus-pension. Hull's letter in part fol-lows: ' ,

"In order to keep her maximumcarrying capacity at the-present fig-ure we would have to increase herequipment in life rafts a;id lifeboatsGG 2-3 per cent. This is a physicalimpossibility, if it were possible tcput this amount of equipment on theEastland the weight that would baadded to her upper deqk would-makethe boat difficult to handle."

Secretary Redfield's reply' in partfollows:

"You mention that your vessel isat times-in excess of an hour fromshora (at midlake 1 hour and 35 min-utes) and that she is at times withinhalf an hour or more away from othersteamers. Your position is, theroforeone in which in case of serious ac-cident you might be at least n haHhour from help and over twenty mlloafrom shore, while possibly having onboard as many as 1,799 persons forwhom there arc neither life boatsnor life rafts."

CHAPTER VIII—Continued.

"Well, the laot I received only afortnight ago. If you will wait a mo-ment I will go and get it. It was sostrange that I haven't destroyed it."And she went out, and I heard bythe the frou-frou of her skirts that shewas ascending the stairs.

After five minutes of breathless anxi-ety she.rejoined me, and handing methe letter to read, said:

"It is not in her handwriting—I won-der why?" ,

The paper was of foreign make, withblue lines ruled in squares. WrittenIn a hand that was evidently foreign,for the mistakes in the orthographywere many, was the following curiouscommunication:

My Dear Lydla:Perhaps you may never got this letter—

the last I shall ever be able to send you.Indeed. I run great risks In sending it.Ah! you do not know tho awful disasterthat has happened to me, all the terrorsand the tortures I endure. But no one canassist me, and I am now looking forwardto thc time when it will all be over. Doyou recollect our old peaceful days in thegarden at Chlchester? I think of themalways, always, and compare that sweetpeace of thu past with my own terribleBufferings of today. Ah, how I wish Imight eee you once again, how that Imight feel your hand upon my brow, andhear your words of hopo and encourage-ment! But happiness Is now debarredfrom me, and I am only sinking to thegrave under this slow torturo of body andof soul.,

"This will pass through many hands be-fore It reaches the post. If, however, itever does get dispatched and you receiveIt, will you do me one last favor—a favorto an unfortunate girl who is friendlessand helpless, and who will no longer trou-ble the world? It Is this: Tako this let-ter to London, and call upon Mr. Martin"Woodrofte at 9S Cork street. Piccadilly.Show him my letter, and tell him frommo that throuKh It all I have kept mypromise, and that tho secret Is still safe.He will understand—and also know why fcannot write this with my own hand. Ifha is abroad, keep it until ho returns

It is all I aak of you, Lydlu. and ]Know that If this reaches you, you wllnot refuse m«. You havo been my onlyTnend and confidante, but I now bid youfarewell, for thu unknown beckons meJind from the grave I cannot write. Againfarewell, and for ever.

Your loving and affectionate friend,ELMA.

"A very strange letter, is it not?" re-marked the girl at my side. "I can'tmake It out. You see there is no ad-dress, but the postmark Is Russian.She Is evidently In Russia."

"In Finland," I said, examining theetnmp and making out the post town tobe Abo. "But have you been to Lon-don and executed this strange commis-elonT"

"No. We are going up next week. I. Intend to call upon this person named

'Woodroffe."I made no remark. He was, I knew,

abroad, but I was glad at having ob-tained two very important clues: first,the address of tho mysterious yachts-man, Woodroffe, alias Hornby, and,secondly, ascertaining that the younggirl I sought was somewhere in thovicinity of the town of Abo, the Fin-

port «5 *ho Baltic."Poor Elma, you see, speaks in her

letter of some secret, Mr. Gregg," mycompanion said. "She says she wishesthis" Mr. Woodroffe, whoever he Is, toknow that she has kept her promise«od lias apt divulged i t This onlydears out what I havo all along sus-pected." .

"What are your suspicions?""Well, ufrom her deep, thoughtful

jnanner, and from certain remarks sheat times nude to me, I "believe ElmaIs in possession of some great and ter-rible secret—a secret which her uncle.Baron Oberg, Is desirous of learning.I know she holds him In deadly fear—•he 1B In terror that she may inadver-ttutly betray to him the truth!"

mystery until it was all bewildering.Had it not been-otor the mystery of itall—and- myspm) ever arouses the-hu-man curiosity—i should have given uptrying to get at the truth. Tet as aman with some leisure, and knowingby that letter of Elma Heath's that shewas in sore distress, I redoubled myefforts to ascertain the reason of It all.

On leaving Leghorn I had given upall hope of tracing the mysteriousyachtsman and had left the matter .inthe hands of the Italian police. But,without any effort on my own part, Iseemed to have been drawn into a ver-itable network of strange Incidents, allof which combined to form the mostcomplete and remarkable enigma everpresented in life.

Those September days -were full ofanxiety for me. Alone and unaided Iwas trying to solve one of the greatestof problems, plungsfi as I was in averitable eo& of mystery. I wanted toaee Muriel Leithcourt, and to questionher ftirtber regarding Elma Heath.Therefore again I left Euston and,traveling through the night, took myseat at the breakfast table at Green-law next morning.

Sir George, who was sitting alone—it not being my aunt's habit to appearearly—welcomed me, and then In hisbluff manner sniffed and exclaimed:

"Nice gofhgs on up at Rannoch!Have you heard of them?"

"No. What?" I cried breathlessly,staring at him.

"Well, It's a very funny story, andthere are a dozen different distortedrerslons of it," he said. "But, fromwhat I can gather the true facts are

and that no card waa necessary. He,however, gave the name of Chater."

"Chaterl" I cried, starting up. "Areyou certain of that name?"

"I only know what Cowan told me,"was my uncle's reply. "But do youknow him?"

"Not at alL Only I've heard thatname before," I Baid. "I knew a manout In Italy of the same name. Butwhere is the vlBltor now?"

"In the hospital at Dumfries. Theytook: him there In preference to leav-ing him alone at Rannoch."

"Alone?""Of course. Everyone has left, now

the host and hostess have slipped offwithout Baying good-by. Scandalousaffair, isn't it? But, my boy, you'll re-member that I alwayB said I didn'tlike those people. There's somethingmysterious about them, I feel certain.'That telognfan gave them warning ofthe visit of tho man Chater, dependupon It, and for some reason they'reafraid o'f him. It would be Interestingto know what transpired between thetwo men In the library/ And these arepeople who've been taken up by every-body—mere adventurers, I should callthem!" And old Sir George sniffedagain at thought of such scandal hap-pening In the neighborhood. "If Gilraemust let Rannoch, then why In thename of Fortune doesn't he let It torespectable folk and not to the firstfellow who answers his advertisementIn the Field? It's staply disgraceful!"

"Certainly It ij a most extraordinarystory," I declared. "Leithcourt evi-dently wished to escape from his vis-itor, and that's why he drugged him."

"Why he poisoned him, you mean.Cowan says the fellow is poisoned, butthat he'll probably recover. He is al-ready conscious, I hear."

I resolved to call on the doctor, whohappened to be well known to me, andobtain further particulars. Thereforeat eleven o'clock I..drove Into Dum-fries and entered his consulting room.

He was a spare, short, fair man, atrifle bald, and when I was shown inhe welcomed me warmly, speakingwith his pronounced Galloway accent

"Well, it is a very mysterious case,Mr. Gregg," he said, after I had toldhim the object of my visit "The gentle-man is still at the hospital, and I haveto keep him very quiet. He was poi-soned without a doubt and has had avery narrow escape of his life. /' Thepolice got wind of the affair and Mac-kenzie called to question him. But herefused to make any statement what-ever, apparently treating the affairvery lightly. The police, however, aremystified as to the reason of Mr. Leith-court's sudden flight, and are very anx-ious to get at the bottom of the curiousaffair."

"Naturally. And more especiallyafter the tragedy up in Rannoch wooda short tima ago," I said.

"That's just it," said the doctor, re-moving his pince-nez and rubbingthem. "Mackenzie seems to suspectsome connection between Leithcourt'ssudden disappearance and that mys-terious affair. It seems very evidentthat the telegram was a warning toLeithcourt of the man Chater's inten-tion of calling, and that the last-namedwas shown in just "at the momentwhen the fugitive was on the point ofleaving."

Knowing all that I did, I was not sur-prised. Leithcourt had undoubtedlytaken him unawares, but knights of in-dustry never betray each other.

My next visit was to Mackenzie, forwhom I had to wait nearly an hour,as he was absent in another quarter ofthe town.

"Ah, Mr. Gregg!" he cried gladly, ashe came in to find me seated in a chairpatiently reading the newspaper. "Youare the very person I wish to see. Haveyou heard of this strange affair atRannoch?"

"I have," was my answer. "Has theman in the hospital made any state-

"Merely that he has no wish to 'prosecute, and that he has no state-ment to make." _

"Can't you compel him to say some-thing?" I asked.

"No, I can't- That's the infernaldifficulty of It If he don't choose tospeak, then we must still remain inignorance, although I feel confidentthat he knows something of thestrange affair up in the wood."

And although I was silent, I sharedthe Scotch detective's belief.' The afternoon was chill and wet as

I climbed the hill to Greenlaw.The sudden disappearance of the

tenants of Rannoch was, I found, oneveryone's tongue in Dumfries. In thosmoke room of the railway hotel threemen were -discussing it with ' manygrimaces and sinister hints, and thotalkative young woman behind the barasked me my opinion of the strangegoings-on up at the castle. I decidedthat the man who had smoked, andchatted with me so affably on that hot,breathless night in the Mediterraneanmust remain In Ignorance of my pres-ence, or of my knowledge. ThereforeI stayed for a week at Greenlaw witheyes and ears open, yet exercising carethat the patient in the hospital shouldbe unaware of my presence.

The Inquiry Into the death, of theunidentified man in Rannoch wood hadbeen resumed and a verdict returnedof willful murder against some personunknown, while of the second crimethe public had no knowledge, for thebody was not discovered. Chater, assoon as he recovered, left the hospitaland went south—to London, I ascer-tained—leaving the police utterly Inthe dark and filled with suspicion ofthe fugitives from Rannoch.

One day I called at the castle, thefront entrance of which I found closed.Gilrae, the owneY. had come up from

ror and silver-topped bottle*, and MIgazing out saw, to my surprise, it wttthe only window which gave a view ofthat corner of Rannoch wood whenthe double tragedy had taken plat*.Indeed, any person standing at thftspot would have a clear view of thatone distant window while out of sightof all the rest A light might be placedthere at night as a signal, for Instance!or by day a towel might be hung fromthe window as though to dry and yetcould be plainly seen at that distance.

Another object in the room also at-tracted my attention—a pair of longfield glasses. Had she UBed these tokeep watch upon that spot?

I took them up and focused then,upon tho boundary of the wood, find-ing that I could distinguish everythingquite plainly. .• '

'That's- where they found the menwho was murdered,'' .explained theservant, who still stood in the door-way.

"I know," I replied. "I was just try-ing the glasses." Then I put themdown, and on turning saw upon themantel shelf a small, bright red can-dle shade, which I took in my hand.It was made, I. found, to fit upon theelectric table lamp.

"Miss Muriel was very fond of a redlight," explained the young woman;and as I held it I wondered if thatlight had ever been placed upon thetoilet table and the blind drawn up—whether It had ever been used as awarning of danger?

As I expressed a desire to see theyoung lady's boudoir, the maid Cam-eron took me down to the luxuriouslittle room where, the first moment Ientered, one fact struck me as pecu-liar. The picture of Elma Heath wasno longer there. The photograph hadbeen taken from its frame and in it»place was tho portrait of a broad-browed, full-bearded man In a foreignmilitary uniform—a picture that, be-ing soiled and faded, had evidentlybeen placed there to fill the emptyframe.

"Has the gentleman who called onthe evening of Mr. Leithcourt's disap-pearance been back here again sincehe left the hospital?" I inquired as asudden idea occurred to me.

CHAPTER IX.

Strange Disclosures Are Made.'The strange letter of Elma Heath,

combined with what Lydta Moretonhad told me, aroused within me a de-termination to Investigate the mystery.V*om the moment I had landed fromfes Lola on that hot, breathless nightA L*fk*nu. joyatanr had crowded u#o«

"It Is Not In Her Handwriting—I Won-der Why?"

these: About seven o'clock the nightbefore last, as Leithcourt and his houseparty were dressing for dinner, a tele-gram arrived. Mrs. Leithcourt openedit and at once went off into hysterics,while her husband, in a breathlesshurry, slipped off his evening clothesagain and got into an old blue sergesuit, tossed a few things into a bag, andthen went along to Muriel's room tourge her to prepare for secret flight."

"Flight!'.' I gasped. -"What, havethey gone?"

"Listen, and I'll tell you. The serv-ants have described the whole affairdown in the village, so there's no doubtabout it. Leithcourt .showed Murieltho telegram and urged her to fly. Atfirst she refuso'd, but for her father'ssake was Induced to prepare to accom-pany him. Of course, the guests werein Ignorance of all this. The broughamwas' ordered to be ready in the stableyard and not to go round, while Mrs.Leithcourt's raaid tried to bring thelady back to her senses. Leithcourthimself, it seemed, rushed hither andthither., seizing the Jewel cases of hiswife and daughter and whatever valu-ables ho could place his hand upon,while the mother and daughter wereputting on their things. As he rusheddown the main staircase to the library,where his check book and some readycash were locked in the safe, he met astranger who had just been admittedand shown into the room. Leithcourtclosed tho door and faced him. Whatafterward transpired, however, is amystery, for. two hours later, after hoand the two women had escaped, leav-ing the house party to their own diver-sions, the stranger was found lockedIn a large cupboard and insensible.The sensation WBB a tremendous one.Cowan, the doctor, was called, and de-clared that the stranger had beendrugged and was suffering from aomenarcotic. The servant who admittedhim declared tho,t the man had said

ment yet?""None. He refuses point blank," an-

swered the detective. "But my ownIdea is that the -affair has a very closeconnection with the two mysteries ofthe wood."

"The first mystery—that of the man—proves to he 'a double mystery," Isaid.

"How? Explain i t ""Well, tho waiter OlinLo Santlni Is

alive and well In London.'1

"What!" he gasped, starting up."Then he Is not the person you Identi-fied him to be?"

"No. But he was masquerading asSantlni—made up to resemblo him, Imean, even to the mole upon his face."

"But you identified him positively?""When a person is dead It is very

easy to mistake countenances. Deathalters the countenance so very much."

"That's true," ho said reflectively."But if tho man wo've burled is nottho Italian, then the mystery is con-siderably increased. Why was thereal man's wife here?"

"And where has her body been con-cealed? That's the question."

"Again a mystery. TVo have made athorough search for four days, withoutdiscovering any trace of It Quite con-fidentially, I'm wondering if this manChater knows anything. It Is curious,to say the least, that the LeithcourtBshould havo fled so hurriedly on thisman's appearance. But have you ac-tually seen Ollnto Santlni?"

"Yes, and have spoken with him.""I sent up to London asking that In-

quiries should be made at the res-taurant in Bayswater, but up to thepresent I havo received no report."

•;i havo chatted with Olinto. Hiswife has mysteriously disappeared,but he is in Ignorance that she isdead."

"There is widespread conspiracyhere, depend upon it, Mr. Gregg. Itwill be an interesting case when weget to tho bottom of it all. I only wishthis fellow Chater would tell us thereasoa he called upon Leithcourt."

he had ao appointment with his master "What does he say?"

Leithcourt Closed the Door, and Fac.edHim.

London and discharged all the latetenant's servants, keeping on only hisown. Ann Cameron, a housemaid, wasone of these, and it was she whom Imet when entering by the servants'hall. ° '

On questioning her, I found her mostwilling to describe how she was inthe corridor outside the young mis-tress' room when Mr. Leithcourtdashed along In breathless haste withthe telegram in hiB hand. She heardhim cry. "Look at this! Read It, Muriel.We must go. Put on your things atonce, my dear. Never mind about lug-gage. Every minute lost is of conse-quence. What!" he cried a momentlater. "You won't go? You'll stayhere—stay here and face them? GoodheavenB! girl, are you mad? Don'tyou know what this means? It meansthat the secret is out—the secret isout, you hear! We must fly!"

Tho woman told me that she dis-tinctly heard Miss Muriel sobbing,while her father walked up and downthe room speaking rapidly in a lowtone. Then he came out again andreturned to his dressing room, whileMiss Muriel presumably changed fromher evening gown into a dark travel-Ing dross.

"Did she say anything to you?" IInquired.

"Only that they were called awaysuddenly, sir. But," the domestic add-ed, "the young lady was very pale andagitated, and we all knew that some-thing terrible had_happened. Mrs.Leithcourt gave orders that nothingwas to be told/to the guests, who dinedalone, believing that their host andhostess had gone down to the villageto see an old man who waB dying.That was the story we told them,Bir."

"And in the meantime the Leitn-courts were in the express going toCarlisle?"

"Yes, Blr. They say in Dumfriesthat the police telegraphed after them,but they had reached Carlisle and evi-dently changed there, and so gotaway."

By the administration of a judicioustip I was allowed to go up to MissMuriel's room, an elegantly furnishedlittle chamber In the front of the fineold place, with a deep old-fashionedwindow commanding a magnificentvlow across the broad Nlthsdale.

LESSON TEXT-I Klnss 10:1-10, 13.GOLDEN TEXT—Wisdom Is better than

rubles.' Prov. 8:11

The. visit of this wealthy queen. •from the region of southern Arabiahas always appealed to the Imagina-.tlonB of men.-. Solomon's kingdomwas at the apex of Its glory. Therawere' no wars, Israel's borders wereextended and "the temple and thoseother wonderful buildings had all beencompleted.

The chief value of thiB lesson is notin Solomon's wisdom nor in what thisqueen saw and heard, but rather it isin what has, is being, and will be doneby Christ, of whom Solomon Is a typeand who seized upon all of this gloryto teach us a great lesson (see Matt6:28-34). Caesar's famous phrase,slightly altered, Is in this connectionquite applicable—"I came, I saw, I(was) conquered."

I. "Hard Questions," vv. 1-3. Solo-mon is here a great type of Christ: (a)His greatness could not be hid (Mark7:24). Solomon's fame filled theknown world (I Kings, 4:34). Thefame of Solomon's wisdom, philosophy,proverbs, poems and knowledge of God(v. 1) drew to his court this queen,and we must recall that it was proba-bly a 1,500-mile toilsome camel-backjourney for her to come to his court,(b) She brought a "very great store"(v. 10) of gifts, which, according to .oriental custom, she presented to Sol-omon. Our Dest gift to our King isourselves (2 Cor. 8:5). (c) She cameto learn of "the name of the Lord"who had done so much for Solomonand his people; to learn wisdom forthe guidance of herself and her peo-ple. We come to a King who pos-sesses all wisdom (Matt. 12.42). Solo-mon had a wonderful missionary op-portunity. God is today sending hearthungry people to this land from themost remote parts of the earth. Arewe using our privilege to point themto the true God and to Jesus, his son?This queen did not believe what shehad heard (v. 7) and resolved to findout for herself. In this she is a rebuke-to those more favorably situated who,though cqnstantly beholding the workof God In human hearts and lives, stillsay, "I do not believe." The queenof Sheba will rise up in judgmentagainst all who refuse to "come andsee" (John 1:39, 45-51; Matt. 12:42).(d) This visit Is a prophecy of thatday when the kings of Sheba andSeba will come with their gifts forthe greater son of David (Psalm 72:10,15; Isa. 60:6-9). The wisdom whichour king bestows is eternal life, "toknow him" (Prov. 2:2-6; John 17:3).

II. "Had Seen All," vv. 4-7. Whenshe had listened to Solomon's wisdomand heard the answers to her ques-tions, tho solutions to her problems,and had witnessed the wonders of histemple, court and ministers, "therewas no more spirit (breath) in her."(Cf. Josh. C:i.) And similar experi-ence came to those three who went tothe Mount, of Transfiguration with Je-sus. Solomon's wisdom Is fulfilled InChrist (Col. 2:3). "The house that hebuilt" Is a type of that temple he Isbuilding of living stones (L Peter 2:4,5; Matt. 16:1.8). "The meat of histable" is excelled by the food on ourking's table, the word of life (Jer. -15:16; Ps. 119:103), his own . body(John 6:55). Our king, tdo, has hisservants (Eph."2:6; Rev. 3:21). Their"appeal" is not to be compared withthe "robe of his righteousness" andDur "standing" (2 Cor. 5:21) is moreexalted than that of any at Solomon's,or other earthly courts. We are notservants but "friends," yet we are-his ministers" (Rev. 5:10; I Pet. 2:9).Various translations suggest (v. 5),"and his burnt offering which ho of-fered in the house of the lord."

III. Praises, vv. S-19, 13. (1) Bytestimony, vv. 8, 9. "Happy are, thymen" who listen to such wisdom, whodwell in the midst of such achieve-ments. One of the greutest joys isto converse with the wise and thegood. Our happiness is in our privi-lege of standing before Christ and tohear his wisdom (Luke 10:39-42; Prov.13:20; 3:13, 14); no servant Is de-barred (John 12:26). The queen glori-fied the source of Solomon's glory,which was all the gift of Jehovah'sgrace (see 2 Sam. 12:24, 25 R. V.marg., Mutt. 3:17; Isa. 42:1). She didnot see the oppression of the people,the temptation to luxury and the de-cline in religious life which so soonled to decay after Solomon's death.When our king shall reign ho will "dojudgment and justice."

Even so our king blesses us abund<antly "above all, we can ask or think"(see John 10:28; 17:22). The king-dom of heaven Is greater than Sol£mon's (Matt 12:42) (a) in wisdom(I Cor. 1:24); (b) in riches (Eph,8:8); (c) In power (Heb. 2:8); (d) inblessings (2 Chron. l:lfr, cf. Phil.4:19) and this kingdom is "amongyou."

Men "'see" what they aTe searchingafter; they receive true knowledgethrough experience. We may see thiskingdom and its working if we let him,who Is the "light of the world," enterour hearts and lives.

Working For Complete ReunionThe Rev. Dr. Henry W. Temple,

member of the faculty of Washingtonand Jefferson College, Pennsylvania,says that, in 1912, be was one of thefour million Republicans who voted theProgressive ticket. In that year Dr.Temple, was elected to Congress, as aProgressive, from the Twenty-fourthPennsylvania district. In a recentletter to a Republican friend, Dr.Temple describes the Progressive move-ment as "not a revolt against Republi-can principles. It was, "be adds, "inpart a protest against certain abusesthat had crppt into the old organizationand in part a movement to add to theolder Republican principles certain newpolicies'which would bring about bettersocial and industrial conditions."

Continuing, Dr, Temple says:Republicans who believe precisely as•we believe stayed in the old party andendeavored to correct its abuses and towork such changes as would bring, the-Progressives back to the Republicanranks. A large number of the Pro-gressives did go back at the election of1914, because they were dissatisfiedwith existing industrial conditions, andmany more in Pennsylvania are goingback now because the Republican partyin this State has already enacted intolaw several of the more important poli-cies called for by the Progressive plat-form of 1912.

"The Republican party needs ourvotes: it is inviting us to come back,and, it seems to me, is ready to comehalf way to meet us. With conditionsas they are, I am pleased to see thismovement. I am convinced that thereis nothing more important in Americanpolitics than the reunion of these twoparties before 1916, and I intend to dowhat I can with propriety to bringabout that reunion.1'

This is a symptomatic statement.Wkile there may be a few men whoheld important positions in the Pro-gressive party who still believe in thevitality of that movement and who willpersist in keeping up an organizationwhose weakness grows more evidentfrom day to day, the great bulk of Pro-gressive leaders and of, the Progressiverank and file are back iu the Republi-can party, and, like Dr. Temple, aredoing what they can to bring aboutcomplete reunion of the men who dilfer-ed iD 1912 and whose diOerence?brought upon the country its witheringweight of Democratic woe.

Back to Essentials.

S, G. KIBBLER.

At times when one looks about himit seems as though the whole world isoccupied with trivialities, Of course,we know well that there are manypeople who are searching the depths otlife and truth, but speaking generallythese appear to be sadly in the minority.The vast majority of people live only inand for trifles. Nowhere is this moreapparent than in our own land. It isa significant'fact that' America, whichpublishes sevpaty-five percent of theworld's popular magazines, producesonly six percent of the new books. TheAmerican reader wants light fiction andsilly gossip, not something to make himthink and advance morally. Considerthat larger portion of humanity knownas the "working class." The averageworking person devotes ail wakinghours to his work and his amusementonly. Every tendency of modern labormovements is to decrease the workingtime and increase the rate of pay, sothat' a man will have more time andmoney to spend for pleasure. The ideaof self-improvement never enters, orODly temporarily.

Is it any better among the small lei-sure class? Ordinarily, the rich mansets a bad example for his poorer neigh-bor. The latter is influenced by thedesire to possess a like amount of moneyclothes, land and automobiles, andeither labors to that end or is sullenand discontent. "If I cannot" havethem, you shall not,"—hence the"muck-raker," the fanatic and the poli-tical howler. ''Civilization is only skindeep," says the proverb. Such we cannot believe to be tbn truth. It maynot appear s>o to the general public, butthe general public never bothers aboutseeing real basic principles,—only thetrifles and external veneer attract itseyes. -However, notwithstanding allthe wonders of science and invention,of chemistry and electricity, of steamand gasoline, humanity- still groansunder the same old burdons. Thegrowth of sin and strife measure theprogress of faith and peace All ofEurope was so closely knit together bytrade and political ties that historianssaid there could be no more war. With-in a few days the nations sprang toarms, and now half tbe civilized worldis in the murdering business We livesuperficially, tossed by the- surfacewaves, and have lost our grip on essen-tials. What the world needs just nowis less of the froth of modern civiliza-tion and a firmer foundation on the"life more abundantly."

GRASPING AT THE SHADOW

No man—especially If he Is mar-ried—would deny woman any rightshe demands. Take the earth andgive us peace, but why doea woman,long for the ballot?

When all Is said and done, Is notthe selection of the butcher, more im-portant to the home than the electionof a mayor; is not the employment ofthe dairyman a far more importantevent in the life of the children thanthe appointment of a postmaster; isnot the selection of books for thefamily library more important thanvoting bonds for-jail and court house?Why doeB woman lay aside the im-portant things in life? Why leave tiresubstance and grasp at the shadow?

Be it said to the credit of woman-hood that it is not; as a rule, thewoman who rocks the. cradle thatwants to cast the ballot; It is notthe mother who teaches her childrento say "Now I lay me down to- sleep"that harangues the populace; it is notthe daughter who hopes to reign asqueen over a happy home that longsfor the uniform of the suffragette. Its, as a rule, the woman who despisesher home, neglects her children andacorns motherhood that leads paradesand smashes windows.

The brood to which these specimensbelong has been'designated as No. 6and covers a very wide ran go of terri-tory. It reaches from the Great Lakesas far south as the middle of Georgia,and from the Mississippi River to theAtlantic Ocean. In this territory itsdistribution is scattering, being concen-trated in some places and apparentlyabsent in others. Past experience in-dicates that it is a very light brood andthat the amount of damage done by itn New Jersey will be very small. The

entomologist of the New Jersey Experi-ment Station is very anxious to obtainall possible records of its occurrence,and would' greatly appreciate thecourtesy of any one sending in speci-mens accompanied by .a clear statementof date and locality of capture. '

NATIONALS CAME NEAR POSSESSING WOOD

X

Walter Johnson.

Where would the Washington teamfie today with Walter Johnson and JoeWood, two of the greatest pitchersIn the game, both working on Grif-fith's pitching staff?

It was fate, or rather fate In thefllsguise of poor business ability, thatprevented these two twirling starefrom being teammates on the Wash-ington club.

In the spring of 1908, the Nationalsplayed an exhibition game in Kan-aas City and Joe Cantillon watched afoung pitcher strike out seven of thenine batsmen that faced him in thelast three innings. The name of thispoung player was Joe Wood. Cantll-lon made arrangements to secure

REINSTATE SCHULTE AS IDOL

Under Masterful Leadership of RogerBresnahan Cub Veteran Is Playing

Brilliant Game.

Frank Schulte, last of the players onthat great Cub team which played theWhite. Sox in the world's series of1906, is again a big factor in makingthe Cubs and another world's series"all for Chicago" possible.

For a couple of years after thebreaking up of the old Chance ma-chine, Schulte slumped badly in hiswork and Bresnahan evidently sawlittle hope for him, for common re-port had It efforts were made to tradehim off, but with the Cuba back intheir once familiar posltioa at the top

Frank Schulte.

of the heap the old spirit seems tohave taken hold of "Wildfire," and heIs. living up to the name that lovingChicago fans bestowed upon him. Henever had a bigger year than this sea-eon, and that is saying much. Cubtans have reinstated him as one o£their principal idols and it is his rightthey should do so.

The renaissance of Schulte is indica-tive of the new era for the Cubs un-der that masterful leader, Roger Bres-nahan.

St. Louis Secured Sisler.Many teams wanted George Sisler,

the former college baseball star of theUniversity of Michigan, but it wasthought he was the property of thePittsburgh club. Manager BranchRickey of the St. Louis Browns took achance and won the services of thisplayer, who can field, hit, pitch andrun—four good accomplishments.

Talcum Powder Ball.Pitcher Jim Shaw of the Washing-

ton team is said to contemplate exper-imenting with the talcum ball. Whathe seems to need most is a ball thatwill go somewhere near to where heaims It. There is nothing the matterwith what he throws now, except thatIt won't go within a mile o£ the plate.

Golf Players Hit Hard.Eddie Collins, Ty Cobb and Trls

Speaker are devotees of golt and arestill rated great hitters despite thetheory of some that the bonnie gameinjures l ie batting eye.

Joe Wood.

Wood right then and there. The Wash-ington manager was given to under-stand that when the time came todispose of Wood the National clubwould be given first chance.

Cantillon allowed the prospectivedeal to go at that and during thesummer Boston purchased Wood with-out Cantillon ever being consulted orgiven a chance to bid for Wood.

With Wood and Johnson on thepitching staff, the Washington club,with its present fielding and battingstrength, would now probably be lead-Ing the American league.

And how sweet that world's serieswould look to Griffith with that de-pendable pair in harness!

SHOULD NOTHAVE MOVED

Story of a Man Who Was Mak-ing Good, but Roving Fever

Got the Best of Him.

On May 4th, 1915, tho St. Paul Farm-er's Dispatch contained a very Inter-esting account ot the experiences of aman from Staples, Minn. Realizingthat be was not making much head-way, he decided to look up a home-stead in Canada. With $200, he andhis wife took up a homestead near.Outlook, Saskatchewan. After recount-Ing his experiences of a few years. Inwhich- they had undergone hardships"\vhkh wero likely to' be unavoidable,-<vith a Bmall amount of capital, hocontinues the story by stating thatIn the fall after a fak summer's workon his 100 acres cropped, he cleanedup nearly all his debts, having nowfour good horses, a complete set offarm machinery including two wagonsand a "Swell" top buggy and eleveahead of cattle. He continues, "How-ever, I was not satisfied. I had beenreading of the splendid' homesteadsthat were 'to be had in Montana."Wheat was cheap and I thought Itwould get cheaper, BO I began to thinkthat homesteadlng as a moneymaklngproposition was better than farming.

I did not stop to consider that wheatwas not the only thing; as a matterof fact I had ao!d pork for 14 cents apound. Eggs and butter had kept usn groceries and more, we had nowfour milch cows, two heifers coming inand more growing up. We had a creamseparator, and some hogs. We had aquarter section of land that couldralse an abundance of small grain,roots and grass for feed, but I couldnot see all that; I had the 'moving*•ever, and decided to sell.

I Bet the price on ths land at $3,000cash. I could not find anyono with,that much money, however, so I camodown until I finally sold for $1,400.

We had an auction and sold the per-sonal property. On the fialo we gotjust about enough, cash to pay the auc-tioneer; tho rest was all notes.

The horses brought about two-thirds'what they were worth. Tho imple-ments sold for hardly one-third ofwhat they had cost. The cattlabrought a good price.

Must Make Another Start.Wo now have a homestead in Mon-

tana, but we find tbat after movinghere and getting settled, what moneywe had did not go far. We have threedorses, about all the implements weneed,, and a llttlo better buildings:han we had on our former place. Weaa.ve no cattle, though we had to build•nuch fence to keep- ranch stock outof our fields. Wo havo about $500worth of honest debts.

True, we have a half section Inplace of a quarter, but that is no goodto us, as long as we have not thocapital .with which to work It.

In summarizing It all up I see wher»I made my mistake. It will take fullyfive years to get into as good circum-stances aa we were before we madothe change. It is five years lost.

Genuine must bear Signature

(By E. T. DE GRAFF.)After 16 years' experience with

fowls, I have concluded that Rhode Is-land Reds combine more practicalqualities and fewer undesirable onesthan any of the 20 varieties I havekept.

Their popularity is due to their rap-Id growth, oblong bodies with -wide,plump breasts and yellow skins.

Besides their early maturity theyare hardy and lay large eggs, espe-cially in winter. As mothers, theycompare favorably with PlymouthRocks and Wyandottes and are freefrom the objectionable fattening-up-•beklnd characteristics of these breeds.

In raising these birds to table sizes,tho following is my regular practice.In a corner of the house cellar is anasbestos-lined incubator room.

When a hatch J s made, 50 of theliveliest chicks at about thirty hoursold are removed in the afternoon andplaced in a thoroughly clean, paintedlouscproof brooder, each chick hav-ing its bill dippecfin water to teach"It to drink. The other chicks remainin the Incubator until next morning.

The first feed consists of stalebread, soaked in either sweet or sourmilk, and squeezed out.

The second day they are given therange of the brooder scratching floor,upon which are scattered sand andcharcoal dust with some litter.

Until they are six weeks old theyget mostly chick feed in the litter andcharcoal, grit and meat scrap in a hop-per.

All utensils are kept scrupulouslyclean; they are boiled once a week. .

Green food Is always given themwhen there is no grass run. The out-

Period Commences Earlier In YoungFowls Than In Old—Valuable Ad-

dltions to Bill of Fare.

Tho proper months for molting areAugiM, September and October, butin young stock it is apt to begin a•month earlier and in old a monthlater.

The older the fowl the more de-layed will bo the commencement ofthis period.

If not already done, the sexes shouldbe separated until the fowl has com-

door brooding is in a clover-coveredpear orchard with running spring wa-ter.

A very good food is made by addingsome charcoal and meat scraps tojohnny cake.

The chicks are'also fond of drywheat bran which Is always beforethem. Feed little and often is therule.

Milk is often given in addition towater. All liquids are protected BOthe chicks cannot wet themselves.

I know of no breed that possessesmore vitality right from tho shell.One of the reasons for this is thechicks feather out rather slowly un-til about two months old.

Most of the food goes towards mak-ing flesh, bone and muscle insteadof feathers.

In this respect the reds are superiorto those" breeds that feather outyoung.

When three weeks .old the chicksweigh about eight ounces, and whenthey reach the first broiler stage atsix weeks, they weigh about ono andone-fourth pounds. Two weeks laterthey weigh about two pounds.

At this stage the cockerel is com-mercially more profitable if plumpand hatched at the right season thanhe ever will be afterwards if feed andcare are considered. In the roastingstage at three months, they willweigh three pounds and will.gain apound per month thereafter until theyweigh five pounds.

In this stage they appear awkwardbecause of their rapid growth and de-velopment of their second feathers;but their well-shaped bodies, long,plump white breasts make them veryattractive when dressed for market.

a feather-making nature, the fowlscannot shed the old coat.

When a hen receives a large supplyof carbonaceous food she increases herfat without supplying the necessaryelements needed in the renewal ofthe feathers, and there- is a general,wasting away, inactivity of the bird,and death. When no stimulant is giv-en, tho shafts of the new feathersseem to stick on too long, not split-ting open freely.

' The Meter's Record.A representative of the gas depart-

ment called on a householder and In-timated that he was afraid somethingwas wrong with the meter. From theofficial point of view, of course, meterscan only show one fault, and the symp-tom which had cast suspicion on thismeter was that It had registered lessduring the quarter than in the corre-sponding part of the previous year.But the lady of the house has a convincing explanation of the decline.

"You see," she said, "my daughterwas engaged last winter. She gomarried in June."

The official, who was evidently aparent himself, was quite satisfied,and the meter left the court withoua stain upon its high character.

Any weakness a fowl may lWe ispretty, sure to develop at moltingtime.

Molting Is not a disease, but thestrain in growing the new feathersis apt to weaken the fowl, making itmoro or less susceptible to sickness.

It is generally supposed that Ittakes one hundred days for a fowl tochange UB coat ot feathers.

The Van Dresser method of semi-Btarvlng and then overfeeding fowlsto make quick molt has not stood thetest expected. Poultrymen, as a rule,are more favorablo to old nature'smethod.

iAPE WORMS CAUSE TROUBLE

Best Preventive Measure Is to RemoveRuns to New Ground—Separate

All infected Birds.

Gapes in chickens are caused bythe gape worms which live from yearto year in the soil of the ground wherethe infected chickens have been kept.The best preventive measure is tomove the runs to ground that has notbeen so occupied for two or threeyears.

If the chickens are kept until theyare six weeks old on ground thta isfree from worms, the trouble •will beover for that year. A good plan is tomove the entire chicken plant to newground and devote tho old ground tovegetables, grain or grass.

About the only remedy for the In-fested chick is to extract the gapeworms from Its throat with a loopedhorsehair or a very fine wire. Thehair or wire should be disinfected ina solution of a tablespoonful of creo-lin in a pint of cold water each timebefore inserting it in the windpipe.Affected chicks should be separatedfrom the well ones, and the quarterswhere they are' kept should bo sprin-kled daily with slaked lime. Put a fewcrystals of permanganate of potash inthe drinking water—enough to turn itpinkish. By this means you may beable to Rave a good many of yourchicks, but an ounce of prevention isworth many pounds of cure.

Ignatius Szenko, of Trenton, is in acritical condition at St. Peter's HospitalNew Brunswick, as a result of an auto-mobile accident on George's Road, nearDayton, on Sunday. He has a com-pound fracture of the skull, severalbroken ribs and a broken leg.

Daniel Carter, the driver of the ma-chine, is also in the hospital with lacera-tions of the face and head, but his in-juries are not serious.

Two cars filled with wedding guestswere speeding on the road, the car con-taining the bride and groom attemptingto outpace the other car containing theguests. In attempting to pass oneanother the car shot off the road andinto a telegraph pole.

The .occupants of two of the carswere on their way to Trenton, havingattended a wedding at South River. Inthe car which was wrecked was NikeferFeresko, of 200 East Trenton avenue,Trenton, and his bride of a few hours.

Szenko was seated in the front seatof the limousine in which the groomand bride were riding, as were the at-tendants of the newly weds. Carter wasdriving the car and was driving at agood speed to lose the other cars inpursuit tilled with the guests. The pur-suing party had a high powered ma-chine and gave the limousine a merryrace. The pursuers were closing in onthe bridal party when a third car fromthe rear entered the race.

The occupants of this third car arenot known. The drivers of the twomachines didn't bear the approach ofthe third machine and continued theirrace until a section oi the' road thatwas wider.

A widening in the road juBt at thespot where the accident happened gavethe driver of the third car an oppor-tunity to shoot ahead of the other two.As he attempted to pass the other carsthe middle machiDe swerved to theight, blocking the way of the machinef the bridal party. Chauffeur Carter

pulled close to the edge of the roadbut he went over too far, and the limou-line shot into a field and crashed into a

pole. The car upset. Upon hittinghe pole, Szenko was dashed out against.he pole. It is believed that in thismanner he received the fractured skull,

arter was also thrown out and was:aught beneath the car. The occupantsf the limousine were all pinned in and

were cut with flying glass.

Jack Earsk who was driving themachine in which were the wedding

uests continued for about a mile beforehe noticed that the other machine wasnot iollowing. He then turned andwent back and found the wrecked ma-;hine in the field.

The occupants in the wrecked ma-chine were gotten out and the machineifted off Carter.

The limousine was a wreck. Theroof was torn off. The radiator hoodwas battered in and the mud guardscrushed flat. The panes of glans in themachine were shattered as was thewind shield.
