he wanted them to prevent a mob The judge said he thought all necessary precautions had been taken but to make assurance doubly sure he asked the governor to put Capt Noel Gaines of the McCreary

Taylor Wednesday morning The body was found lying face downward in a rivulet of running water with large stones placed carefully on top of it and would never have been discovered had Taylor not confessed Coroner Dehoney went at once to the scene summoned a jury and examined all the witnesses The testimony developed the fact that the girl had not been seen since November 21 instead of Christ mas night and Taylor was with her when last seen and consequently she has been dead 53 days or else Taylor kept her a prisoner several days in the deserted cabin where he sometimes slept The body was fairly well preserved and no cuts or bullet holes could be found She had on no shoes or stockings and no garments except a shirt waist a short jacket and a badly torn Her underskirt corset shoes and stockings had pre- viously been found in the deserted cabin by the girls grandmother and Wednesday her skirt and some bloody bed clothing were found hidden away in the cabin All those present at the

is to sell his mine that is all There was a few moments silence then Longworth said When are you going back I dont know I think I ought to see Von Brent I am not at all easy about leaving matters as they are I think I ought to get a renewal of the option It is not wise to risk things as we are doing Von Brent might at I wS ft ffiiiJSS length from her You And m be Lady Wentworth yet George

Although the steamship that took Kenjon to America was one of the speediest in the Atlantic service 3 et the voyage was inexpressively dreary to him He spent most of his time walking up and dowTn the deck thinking about the other voyage of a few months before The one consolation of his present trip was its quickness When he arrived at his hotel in New York he asked if there was any mes- ¬ sage there for him and the clerk hand ed him an enveloxje which he tore open It was a cable dispatch from Went Longworth worth with the words Proceed to Ottawa immeat Windsor diately Get option renewed Long worth duping us John knitted his brows and won ¬ dered where Windsor was The clerk seeing his perplexity asked if he could be of any assistance I have received this cablegram but dont quite understand it Where is Windsor Oh that means the Windsor hotel Just up the street Kenyon registered and told the clerk to assign him a room and send his bag gage up to it when it came Then he walked out from the hotel and sought the Windsor He found the colossal hostelry and was just inquiring- of the clerk whether a Mr Longworth was staying there when that gentleman appeared at the desk and took some letters and his key Kenyon tapped him on the shoulder Young Longworth turned round with more alacrity than he usually dis ¬ played and gave a long- whistle of sur- ¬ prise when he saw whom it was In the name of all the gods he cried what are you doing here Then before Kenyon could reply he Come up to my room said They went to the elevator rose a few stories and passed down an apparently endless hall carpeted with some noiseless stuff that gave no echo of the footfall Longworth put his key into the door and opened it They entered a large and pleasant room Well he said this is a surprise What is the reason of your being here Anything wrong in London Nothing- wTong so far as I am aware - We received no cablegrams from you and thought there might be some hitch ¬ any time get an offer for his mine just as we are forming our company and of course if the option had not been re- ¬ newed he would sell to the first man who put down the money As you say all he wants is to sell the mine Longworth was busy opening his let- ¬ ters and apparently paying very little attention to what Kenyon said At last however he spoke If I were you if you care to take my advice I would go straight back to England You will do no good here I merely say this to save you any fur- ¬ ther trouble time and expense Dont you think it would be as well to get a renewal of the option Oh certainly but as I told you before it was not at all necessary for you to come over I may say further- ¬ more that Von Brent will not again re- ¬ new the option without a handsome sum down to be forfeited if the com- ¬ pany is not formed Have you the money to pay him No you have changed a great deal since I saw you last You look haggard and not at all well What is the matter with you I do not think anything is the mat- ¬ ter I am in very good health thank 3ou I have had a few busines worries that is all said Von Brent Ah yes Iam very sorry indeed you failed to form your campany Failed echoed Kenyon Yes you havent succeeded have you Well I dont know about that we are in a fair wray to succeed You met Longworth and Melville who came out to see the mine I saw Longworth in New York and he told me you had taken them out there Are they interested with you in the mine Certainly they are helping me to form the company VonJBrent seemed amazed I did not understand that at all In fact I un ¬ derstood the exact opposite I thought you had attempted to form a company and failed They showed me an attack in one of the financial papers upon you and said that killed your chances of forming a company in London They were here apparently on their own business Arid what was their business To buy the mine Have they bought it Practically yes Of course while your option holds good I cannot sell it but that as you know expires in a very few days Kenyon finding his worst suspicion realized seemed speechless with amaze- ¬ ment and in his agony mopped from his brow the drops collected there You appear to be astonished at this said Von Brent I am very much astonished Well you cannot blame me I have acted perfectly square in the matter I had no idea Longworth and the gen tlemanwTho was with him had any con- ¬ nection with you whatever Their at-¬ tention had been drawrn to the miriethey said bv that article Thev had in vestigated it and appeared to be satisfied there was something in it in the mine I mean not in the article They said they had attended a meeting which you hd called but it was quite evident you were not going to be able to form the company So they came here and made me a cash offer for the mine They have deposited 20000 at the bank here and on the day your option closes they will give me a check for the -- very much more than W000 and per haps one of them struck by your very sane appearance at the moment might hand over the sum to you I think hovvever- - George that you would be more successful if you met the capital ¬ ist in a secluded lane sohie dark night and had a good reliable club in your hand Of You are right said George course there is just as much possibil ¬ ity of my reaching the moon as getting that sum of money on short notice Yes or on long notice either I imagine I know plenty of r en who have the money but I wouldnt under ¬ take to ask them for it and I dont be ¬ lieve you would Still there is nothing like trying He who tries may succeed but no one can succeed who doesnt try Why not go to old Longworth He could let you have the money in a moment if he wanted to do so He knows you Whats your security what are you going to do with it that I eternal mine of yours Yes that eternal mine I want it to be mine That is why I need the 20000 i Well George I dont see much hope for you You never spoke to old Long worth about it did you Ee wasnt one of the men you intended to get into this company He would have treated us better thaj No he was not I wish he had beer bis rascally nephew has done Ah that immaculate young man has been playing you tricks has he He has played me one trick which is enough Well why dont you go and see the old man and lay the case before him He treats that nephew as if he were his son Now a man will do a great deal for his son and perhaps old Long worth might do something for his nephew Yes but I should have to explain to him that his nephew is a scoundrel Very well that is just the kind of ex- ¬ planation to bring the 20000 If his nephew really is a scoundrel and you can prove it you could not want a bet- ¬ ter lever than that on the old mans ¬ amount Brent Very well then there will not be the slightest use in your seeing Von I have not ¬ ¬ good How much money does Von Brent Young Mr Longworth arched his eyebrows and gazed at John through his eyeglass I will let you have my third of the money if that will do any ¬ want How should I know To tell you Mr Kenyon and truth never the truth hurts or oughtnt to I dont at all like this visit of yours to America You ¬ and Mr Wentworth have been good enough to be suspicious about me from the very first You have not taken any pains to conceal it either of you Your appearance m America at this partic- ¬ ular juncture is nothing more nor less than an insult to me I intend to receive it as such I have no intention of insulting you said Kenyon if you are dealing fairly ¬ 1 said Kenyon and duped I had have been cheated grave suspicions of it all along but I did not act upon them I have been too This man timorous and cowardly Longworth has made a pretense of helj ing me to form a company Everything he has done has been to delay me He came out here apparently in the interest of the company I was forming and now he has got the option for himself Yes he has said Von Brent I may say I am very sorry indeed for the turn affairs have taken Of course as I have told you I had no idea how the land laj You see you bad placed no deposit with me and I had to look after my own interests However the option is open for a few days more and I will not turn the mine over to them till the last minute of the time has expired Isnt there any chance of your getting the money before then Xot the slightest Well you see in that case I cannot help myself I am bound by a legal document to turn the mine over to them on receipt of the 20000 the moment your option is ended Everything is done legally and I am perfectly helpless in the matter Good Yes I see that said John He went to the telegraph office by and sent a cablegram Wentworth received the dispatch in London the next morning It read We are cheated Longworth has the option on the mine in his own name ¬ Serves me right CHAPTER XXI with me - - an insult I wish to have nothing more to say to you I give you my advice that it is better for you and cheaper to go back to London You need not act on it unless you like I have nothing fur ther to say to you and so this interview may as well be considered closed And how about the mine I imagine the mine will Take care of ¬ There it is again That remark is ¬ think this is courteous treat ment of a business partner My dear sir I do not take my lessons in courtesy from you Whether you are pleased or displeased with my treat ment of you is a matter of

admitted that the young man had a fluency of expression which was very much more terse than proper When the real significance of the dispatch became apparent to him George outdid himself in this

there per--ha- I have seen many ps insanitary hovel undisturbed seemed no real kindness And yet he was loath to set the parish or the sanitary officer upon their track He held very strong- ¬ ly to the opinion that an Englishmans house even if it be nothing better than a pig sty is his castle and in his heart by no means approved of the wide com- ¬ pulsory power then lately given to the local authorities Besides after all what could such authorities do Compel them to evacu- ¬ ate their miserable shanty no doubt But the old people would then simpty change their local habitation not their mode of life And as regards starving themselves not all the boards of guard- ¬ ians in Somerset could make people eat have willingly crossed their threshold even if the door had been left open But these old misers were altogether too suspicious to reason and seemed to live in an ever increasing fear of having their privacy invaded My uncle as he himself told me shortly before his death was greatly exercised about his two strange par- ¬ ishioners Many rectors would have considered themselves absolved of all obligations toward people who not merely never attended church but re- ¬ fused even to admit their clergyman into their house when he called But that was not my uncles way EverjT poor man who lived in his parish he held to be under his pastoral protection and he felt himself bound to look after his interests In regard to these two old misers however it was difficult to know what was the kindest course To let them live on in their present half starved condition and in that fearfully At first they had sometimes ventured to lock up their house and make an ex cursion together into F He named the adjoining market town which I will not further particularize But by and by

costume and of many nationalities His sunny smile and white gleaming teeth are of the verv essence of- thp blue sky overhead He does not stand still in the street and appeal to passers by to buy his wares He flits from cafe to cafe and interviews loungers smoking their narghilez in the open air JHe adopts the gambling system as be pfifa more direct appeal to human pas ¬ sions In his hand he carries a lucky bag When he enters a cafe he invites you to dip your hand in the bag and try your luck for a pair of live turkeys a beautiful Egyptian shawl shimmering with gold or silver embroidery or some other of the many ornaments peculiar to the east It is difficult to resist his persuasive eloquence The method of procedure is this In his lucky bag the hawker carries 200 numbers The figures are neatly in ¬ scribed on small slips of stiff paper These are rolled and curled up in the lucky bag which resembles a pillow case more than anything else When the peddler enters the cafe his quick eye soon detects a likely customer To start by doing a trade will greatly enhance his chances with others Terms are arranged say three tries for a half franc Then you guess per ¬ haps three times at the lucky number say between 100 and 120 as arranged On drawing the first number you pay down your half franc Of course the odds are very much against you The hawkers in Cairo and Alexandria make a very fair harvest wrhen these cities are full As much as 15 to IS francs for a turkey which cost five francs is pretty good profit Somebody of course wins it in the long run The articles disposed of in this way comprise boxes of splendid peaches and other fruits soap flowers in great va ¬ riety plants and the beautiful point setia turkeys and other live stock game in season fish dates a great variety of ornaiments cunning devices in clocks furniture etc There is another side to the picture The eastern hawker would not be con ¬ tent with the mere gamble for a lucky number without exercising his natural ingenuity While he is talking to a would be flutterer he drops his hand into the bag and begins shaking up the numbers These it should be explained are made up in batches of tens and which are composed of twenties slightly different qualities of paper In the bag is a false bottom So deli carte is Hassans or Abduls touch that tion he can distinguish one batch from the Brother Tom she

fetid oh insufferably fetid It nearly poisoned me and my first impulse was to beat a hasty re- ¬ treat into the open But a 1owt moan from the corner attracted me I looked and there I saw a sight at once loath- ¬ some and pitiable Crouching against the wall upon the damp and moldy floor was a figure covered with an old sack I went nearer At first I could not see which of the two itwras But on looking more closely I made it out to be the old woman She was almost naked except for the cov- ¬ ering of the sack and one of her yellow arms which lay exposed looked unspeakably lean and shriveled and weird I also noted another point The tangled black hair which had ahvays struck me so about her was now- - be-¬ trayed as not being her own It was a wig half on and half off at that mo- ¬ ment

where a nice floor is required the upper course may be made of yellow pine It is also the best wTay to lay a floor in mows or bays where hay is to be stored over stables or wagons as it is more impervi- ¬ ous to dust and dirt than are matched boards and is also stiff and strong Ploors intended to sustain heavy ma- ¬ chinery such as hay presses or thrash ¬ ing machines it has formerly been the custom to make of three inch plank both edges being grooved so that a tongue could be laid in where the edges joined This method is expensive and does not make as good a floor as is con- ¬ structed by using three thicknesses of lumber laying the middle course di agonally and being careful to lay the upper course so that it shall break joints over the lower course By this means the floor is like one solid piecs of lumber which will not spring or warp out of place American Agricul- ¬ the bees ¬ tic weather follows and prevents them from taking a cleansing flight the col- ¬ ony will

bees at all seasons He watches them throughout the year anil is ac ¬ quainted with the situation and conditions of each colony It happens some- ¬ times that a colony goes into winter quarters with a large number of old and nearly wornout bees and but few of younger stock In very cold weather the older bees succumb and falling soon clog the entrance to the hive Un- ¬ less they are removed the entire colony will smother The entrance must be kept open This is easily done with a wire hpok about a foot long Some- ¬ times excessive moisture in a hive causes some fatality often sufficient to block the entrance at the bottom Thus it is necessary to watch the apiary every day to avoid unnecessary losses Care is required in removing dead bees in order that the live ones may not be disturbed or aroused to activity It sometimes happens notwithstand- ¬ ing the attentio that may have been given to fail feeding that a colony may have consumed its supply of honey in midwinter It must be fed or be lost Methods of feeding are familiar to all but it is not out of place to state that one of the simplest and easiest is to fill a wide mouth fruit jar with a sirup made of granulated sugar and water of a consistency thick enough to an ¬ swer the purpose and tying cheese sacking tightly over the mouth of the jar Invert the jar and place it direct- ¬ ly over the cluster The bees soon find it and appease their hunger Some bee keepers however prefer bee candy fo this purpose It is made by boiling sugar sirup until it reaches the candy state and then pouring it while hot into pie tins When cold it is ready for use It is placed on the frames over the cluster and does not disturb ¬ Farmers Voice turist SPLENDID ABOUT REGISTRATION NEST BOXES A Row of Them Can Be Made Trotting Horse Breeders Have Been Too Careless About Small Expense at a Very The general and universal depression in the trotting iiorse business during the last three 3 ears has bred a great deal of inexcusable carelessness on the part of breeders and owners of stallions bearing on the subject of establishing and verifying pedigrees says the Western Horseman As is well known under the ruling of the Register association an animal cannot be registered without a certificate from the owner of the sire or his accredited agent and also a certificate from the owner of tho dam at the time she was bred Durinir recent years all owners have been more or less recreant about registering and many standard but unregistered ani- ¬ mals have changed hands and many who bred standard mares to standard sires have neglected to have their hold ¬ ings registered As the future looks much brighter for the breeding inter- ¬ est owners are growing proportionately concerned about registration and at this point they encounter trouble as parties who bred standard animals and sold them unregistered and owriers of stallions to which mares were bred manifest a great indifference about furnishing evidences to establish breed ¬ ing when called upon This is not right Any breeder who sells an animal unreg- ¬ istered is in honor bound to promptly furnish evidence of breeding when called upon and an owner of a sire who will not promptly furnish the evidence of breeding when called upon and an owner of a sire who will not promptly furnish the evidence that a certain mare was bred to his horse on a certain date when applied to for that evidence is not entitled to the patronage of othei bleeders ¬ It The row of nests shown in the illus ¬ tration can be made by anyone at all handy with tools They answer

obliged to be content with the regular roost ¬ ing arrangement of the house The broad board above the nests is fastened to the door frames and above this is stretched a 32 inch strip of poultry net ¬

perhaps the most conspicuous ex- ¬ ample to be found of our fortifying a purely strategic position for Key West has some intrinsic consequence as a town In the Dry Tortugas what we have of value is one of the finest most commodious and safest harbors of the southern coast and it is desired both to make it available for ourselves and to prevent it from being seized as the sheltering haven and the base of an enemy A round half century has elapsed since Fort Jefferson was begun in 1846 under President Polk with Jefferson Davis as secretary of war It is one of the- largest works in the United States covering the greater part of Gar ¬ den Key and was originally designed if we do not mistake for about 420 guns although only a part were mount¬ ed and it cost about 5000000 It was seen then as now that an enemys fleet obtaining the harbor of the Dry Tortugas as a base might control both the Florida straits and the Yucatan chan- ¬ nel For this reason it has shared with Key West the reputation of being the military key of the Gulf of Mexico During the civil wrar Fort Jefferson was used as a military prison but when in the reaction after the war post after post on the seaboard lost its garrison and was even suffered to fall into de- ¬ cay Fort Jefferson followed this fate It attracted attention for a time as the place of confinement for Dr Mudd whose life sentence was remitted after his valuable service during the yellow fever scourge of 18G8 when the surgeons cf the station succumbed Then it became as it is to day a quarantine station and this use of it is according to a report made by the inspector-general- s department a few years ago an obstacle to its reoccupation In that report it was urged that the harbor of the Dry Tortugas has been for years a tempting and easy prize for the audacious and that owing to its isolation and accessibility we might have lost it at any time during the in ¬ terval without knowing until too late that it had passed out of our possession Its real value as a naval auxili ary would have become apparent in the effort to recapture it It is noticeable that in the list of the 21 principal ports requiring defense compiled by the fortifications board or 1SS5 the harbor of the Dry Tortugas is not included Rut that is not a point against it as even Puget sound was not found in the list Several years ago Gen Howard advised the reoccupation of Fort Jefferson and the present movement is founded on the desirability of getting a more sheltered and deeper harbor than Key West for a naval coal ¬ ing station in that region The Drj Tortugas lying about 60 miles to the west furnish it is believed such a har bor and at all events on this point the board will report Twenty years or more must have passed since the garrison of Fort Jef ¬ ferson after being reduced in 1S70 was withdrawn altogether The marine hospital service which then took pos- ¬ session of it naturally kept up only what its own accommodations needed and the account given by the army in specting officers a few years ago as to its military condition was discourag ing Rotten gun carriages cracked bas tions rust guns in fact general de cay were apparent on all sides The brieve work throughout needed and still needs repairing All the bastions had cracked and settled and there were thousands of lineal feet of cracks in other parts of the walls Many of tho casemates leaked and the moisture had caused an excessive formation of stalactites Nearly all the embrasures of the two tiers of casemates had been en larged so as nearly to equal in width the span of the arches It is said that this mutilation of the fort was done by the troops during the fever epidemic of 1SG8 The six wooden platforms for the 15 incth guns in barbette are in ruins through decay The other barbette platfqrms are of old pattern but with four inch pintles Whether they would withstand the shock of full service charges cannot be definitely settled but probably not If the Dry Tortugas should be turned into a naval coaling base the hospital would doubtless be removed and a wharf built Probably many of the buildings could be repaired and made useful both for naval purposes and foi the artillery garrison that would be sta tioned there Fort Jefferson is of thb old type as are the guns now7 mounted there but the condition of 23 ten inch guns was found by the inspectors to be ood and it would be easy to supplement the old ordnance by some modern high power guns and mortars so as to give the station an adequate defense ¬ - summer says

roulette wheel and po ¬ ker and keno lay outs were easily pro curable as the conferees well knew and that part of the programme was soon settled The friend suggested as a pretty epilogue the introduction of a pair of bulldogs guaranteed to reduoe each other to mince meat in three rounds This rather staggered the ambi- ¬ tious host but his friend is a ward poli- ¬ tician and with the eloquence he always keeps on draft soon convinced the other that the evening would be a failure without those bulldogs The evening arrived and with it came the guests The ladies were prettily shocked at sight of the gambling para phernalia but became accustomed to it in an astonishingly short time and shar ed in the games with becoming vim It was when the yellow bulldogs made their unexpected entrance that the hor ror of the fair guests proved genuine The beasts yelped and growled and showed other peculiarly canine symp toms of spoiling for a fight There ¬ upon the ladies sought refuge on the pi- ¬ ano and card tables and chairs con ducting their retreat as from a mouse Notwithstanding excited feminine protestations the friend who had been consulted as to a novelty in entertain ¬ ment unleashed the dogs It vrns an ex citing climax to an original evening The dogs feasted for fiva minutes on choice bits of each other- anatomy The ladies soreamed and the friend who was consulted exulted in the success of bis novelty When he was quite con vinced and it took a considerable time to convince him that the ladies deaire for gore had been fully gratified he doused the dogs into a

Berry Had a Desperate Struggle Witk The ugliest appearing animal that ever walked a log killed a rabbit or fought a trap is the lynx which is just as ugly as it looks ten months in the year and somewhat uglier during the other two Not only will the lynx fight anything that walks the woods but it will also tackle a visitor from the clear ings be he man or dog or half grown calf if the occasion offers Jim Berry was hunting up in jMaine about 40 miles north of Greenville when he and his friend suddenly came upon the carcass of a caribou whioh a bear was eating The bear made itself scarce much to Jims regret as he wanted to kill the bear Without say- ¬ ing anything to his friend he left camp the next day and started for the carcass intending to watch it in the hope that the bear would return He waited and watched until about 8 oclock in the afternoon when he began to think of returning to camp A soft footfall baok in the woods the orafty step of some wild animal just then sounded in his ears Pretty soon the bear was chewing the caribou meat and Jim could see it plainly He leveled his buckshot gun and pulled the trigger when the wabbling muzzle was pointed in what he thought was the right direction The beast went down and Jim started for it Then he stopped with his mouth open The beast had leaped to his feet and jumped sideways with its back up Jim knew the yell and he also reoog nized the humped back It was a wound ed lynx spoiling for a fight Not having time to level his gun to shoot the man clubbed it and the blow stunned the cat a little but the beast got in a rake on the mans leg and tore his trousers and hide too Another frantic sweep of the gun barrel laid the beast flat and then a revolver bullet killed the animal The buckshot had torn the top of

for the proposed building I regard this movement as deserving of popular approval and aid said the minister It aims to secure a wider intelligence and a better tone of morali- ¬ ty among our people Every one should give according to his means After theditor the doctor and the banker had talked in the same vein the lawyer proposed that they get down to Deaoon Olose he contin business ued has a desirable lot for which he asks 2 000 It strikes me as a pretty stiff price but I have no doubt that he will make us a donation of 500 and make a deed of the site for 1500 There was applause in which the deacon did not participate but rising reluctantly he delivered himself as follows I must say that I agree with what has been said in praise of this en ¬ terprise Our town needs it and there is no place for it more desirable than the lot I have offered Of course I want to bear my full share of the expense Since I offered you this lot the deacon went on there has been a great improvement in times Money is easier prices are better and realty gets an en hanced value because of the general prosperity I will let you have the lot for 2500 and throw off 500 as a donation The minister muttered something he was glad the rest did not hear The doctor laughed the banker scowled and the lawyer moved to adjourn in a voice that told the deacon he would have to seek some other market for the lot

On the slopes of the Himalayas the native women have a most curious plan of disposing of their babies and keeping them quiet while they are engaged at work in the fields during the greater part of the day Before the mothers set out to work in the morning they wrap their babies in swaddling barids leav- ¬ ing nothing but their little faces ex- ¬ posed Then the babies are taken and laid under a ledge of rock from which water is falling and by means of a bamboo the water is made to drip gen ¬ tly on each babys forehead The effect of the dripping water is most soothing and soon the little ones are all asleep and remain motionless till taken up by their mothers on their return from their work when they are carried off to be unwrapped dried and fed The Wonderful Marrliing Ant v Paul Du Chaillu
