INFERTILE EGGS KEEP BEST!

A largo part of ths heavy lost from
bad eggs can bo obviated by tho pro

tho Investigation concerning tho Im
provement of tb farm egg which dur
ing the past two years have been con
ducted In tho middle west by tho bu
reau of animal Industry of tho depart
ment of agriculture.
Secretary Wilson of ths department
of agriculture estimates that, between
the producer and the consumer, there
la an annual loss of $45,000,000 In tho
egg crop of tho United States, tho
greater portion of'whlch falls on tho
farmer, who Is by far the largest
producer. Of this enormous loss,
about one-third, or J 15.000.000, la
caused by heat which develops ths
embryo of the fertile egg, causing
what Is known to the trade as a
"blood ring." As It Is Impossible to
produce a "blood ring" In an Infer
tile egg, such au egg will stand a
higher degree of temperature without
serious deterioration than will a fer
tile egg.

of eggs would market their male birds
as soon as the hatching season Is
over, a large saving would be made,
as practically every infertile egg
would grade a first or second If clean

No mors simple or efficient method
for the Improvement of the egg sup
ply of the country could bo adopted
than tho production of Infertile, ass.

THE STORY OF
AMAROFF THE POLE
(Continued.)
I was just about to announce my
self, when one of the men knocked
over a brass candlestick which stood
on the desk, so that It rolled to the
further side. With a grunt of annoy
ance, he stepped leisurely round and
dropped on his knees to recover It.
Once out of sight of his companions.
however, he whipped out a square of
wax from his pocket, and with extra'
ordinary rapidity took an Impression
from a key that he had kept con
cealed in his hand. It was all over In
five seconds, and from the shelter the
desk gave to him. no one but myself
could have been the wiser. He rose,
replaced the candlestick, and con
tinued his work.
Whether the fellow had played his
companion a trick or not. I had no
desire to be caught acting the spy.
So, pulling the curtains aside. I walked
Into the room. They all turned quick
ly upon me, the black-bearded man
staring hard as If attempting to re
call my face. But Peace was the first
to speak.
"Good afternoon. Mr. Phillips," he
said, as If I were a visitor he had ex
pected. "You are Just In time to drive
me back. Have you a cab waiting
"No." I hesitated.
"It's of no consequence. We can
flnd another at the top of the street

turning to the big man, who had never
taken his eyes off me. "are you quite
satisfied, or do you wish your men to
make a further search?"
"No, Mr. Insbector." he answered,
wltn heavy foreign accent, "we
Rre Quite content. Nodlng more Is
necessary."
"Shall you be .wanting to come
again?"
"No for us It Is sufficient. It Is
for you to continue. Mr. Insbector.
You tink you will catch these men
who kill him. heln?"
"We shall try." said Teace. with a
modest droop of the eyes.
"Ach but where can there be cer
tainty in our lives? Come now, my
children, let us be going. Alexandre,
you have the door-key of the studio;
give him to the Inspector here."
So It was the door-key, thought I.
of which Mr. Alexandre obtained a
memento behind the roller-top desk!
Peace gave a polite good-bye to his
companions on the step, locked up the
little green door, and then started
down the street at my side.
"I had no business to come poking
my nose into your affairs." I said.
"Anything you say I shall thoroughly
deserve "
"Don't apologize." he smiled. "I
was pleased to see you."
"And why?"
"You can do better things than re
main a wealthy dilettante. Mr. Phil
Hps. You are too broad In the shoul
ders, too clear In the head, for living
In the world that la dead. Such little
Incidents as these they drag you out
of the shell you are building about
you. That Is why I was pleased to
see you. I have spoken plainly are
you offended?"
"Oh, no," I said, waving my stick
to a passing hansom, though I did
not refer again to the topic which I
foresaw was likely to become person
ally offensive to me.
He sat back In his corner of the csab.
filling his pipe with dextrous fingers,
while I watched him out of the cor
ner of my eye. When It was well
alight, he began again on a new sub
ject. "Ixmdon's a queer place," be said,
"though perhaps you have not had the
time to flnd It out. There are for
eign colonies, with their own religions
and clubs and politics, working their
way through life ust as if they were
In Odessa or Hamburg or Milan.
There are refugees Heaven knows
how many, for we do not that have

troubles them so long as they pay
rent and taxes, and keep their hands
out of each other's pockets or from
each other's throats. They under
stand us, too, and stop playing at as
sassins and conspirators. But once
In a while habit Is too strong for them,
and something happens."
"As It happened to Amaroff?"
"Yes as it happened to Amaroff."
"It was a political crime?"
"Yes."
"And the reasons?"
"They have the advantage of sim
plicity. Amaroff was a member of
the Ilusslan secret-service, detailed
to mix with and observe the Nihilist
refugees. The Czar enters Paris in
two days, and when the Czar travels
the political police of all the capitals
are kept on the run. I suppose
Amaroff showed an excess of zeal
that made his absence from London
desirable. Anyway, he was found
dead, and the Russians reasonably
conclude It Is the Nihilists who killed
blm."
"Who were those men In the
studio?"
"Tho big fellow was Nlcolln, the
bead of the Russian service over here.

"And they finished their search?"
"You heard them say so."
"Exactly; but why. then, did they
want an Impression of the studio
key?"
He turned iion me with a sudden
Impatience In his eyes.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
I told him of my arrival, and what
I had seen from my post behind the
I curtains of the doorway. He did not
speak when I had finished, but sat,
ruffing at tils short pipe, and staring
out over the horse's ears. So we ar
rived at our door.
"If you have further news tonight
will you call In before going to bed?"
I asked blm as we stood on the pave
ment. "I cannot promise you that. I have
some Important Inquiries to make In
tU East Knd this evening, and I do
not know when I shall return."
I suppose I looked depressed at his
answer; Indeed the pn jpect of a
lonely evening in my rooms with such
a mystery In course of solution out
side, seemed oddly distasteful to me.
"It is a rough district, as you know,"
he said, watching me; "but would you
care to come along?"
"There Is nothing I should like bet
ter," I answered simply.
"Well It's against the regulations;
but they allow me some license. Be
ready at nine, and I will call for you.
Wear old clothes, a cap and a scarf
round your neck to hide your collar.
Is that understood?"
"Yes," I said, and so It was settled
between us.
We were punctual In our meeting,
and trotted eastward over the roads
we had covered on the previous day.
When we stopped It was at a narrow
rift In a wall of mean dwellings. We
dismissed the cab and threaded our
way down the alley, which opened out
upon a miserable square. The houses
that surrounded It had once been of
some pretension. In a simpler ago
merchants had doubtless lived there,
men who owned the tall Blilps that
had lain In the river near by. But now
the porticos had crumbled, the iron
railings hail bent and rusted, the plas
ter had fallen in speckled patches
from the walls. In tho center a few
ancient trees still dragged on a dis
consolate existence. It was a silent
place where wheeled traffic never
came. And when, through an upper
window, a woman suddenly poured
forth shrill abuse upon a drunken man
clinging to the railings, each oath
rang loudly In the furtive silence.
As we paused at the mouth of the
alley, a tall man, with a drooping yel-,

when we turned Into a beer house at
the corner he followed us, standing a
little apart In an angle of the bar.
There were half a dozen men and
women of the life wreckage of the
great city sitting on the benches; but
before the Inspector was served with
the drinks he ordered, they had whis
pered one to another and melted
away. As the last one slunk through
the door, Peace beckoned to the tall
man. who Joined us.
"Well. Jackson," he said, "you can't
hide your light under a bushel In
Stepney, that's certain."
"I'm ffrald not, sir," he grinned.
"Leastways not In Maiden Square."
"Well, have you found the place?
Oh, that Is all right," for the man had
glanced at me with a brief suspicion.
"This is Mr. Phillips, who has been
of much service to me In our little
affair; let me Introduce you to Ser
jeant Jackron. Mr. Phillips."
I shook hands with the Serjeant,
who said that be would take a glass
of beer.
"And the place?" asked Peace, when
we bad seated ourselves on a corner
bench out of earshot of the man be

"Yes, I know what that means.

The Inspector's prophecy of the pre
vious night came back to mo wl'li
sudden remembrance: "Amaroff was
murdered In a. room with a Minded
floor, probably at no great distance
from l.eman street, seeing that they
carried him there in a costers bar
