BUILDING COLONIES. Tlmelr Advice for Beekeepers Wk Are Dealroaa of Obtaining; m Good Crop of Honey. We want to build all our colonies of bees up strong', for those that are strong in numbers are the only ones we can count on to store a good crop of surplus.- One of the greatest draw backs to successful bee keeping is that there are so many weak colonies on hand at the beginning of the honey - flow that it takes them through the short honey harvest to become strong; enough to store honey. Each and every hive should be overflowing with bees at the beginning of the principal honey harvest, for when they are thus very populous they can be depended upon to do good work, if the season is good. ........ Too many colonies run short of pro vision during' spring when they are building up, and the result is that they are crippled in force, for they cannot rear a brood without plenty of food in the hive or have daily access to a flow of honey. Feeding' is the only meth od that will bring them up to standard requirements, hence they should be liberally fed. Weak colonies may be brought up . strong very rapidly by giving them some brood from, the stronger ones, but we must exercise care in this or we will cripple the strong-eat ones and be no better oft than before. Draw only on extremely strong colonies to strengthen weak ones. If we have col onies that are in danger of swarming before the honey season is properly on, we can draw from them and thus check them from swarming. It is always in order to save frames of honey over from one season to an other for the purpose of supplying the bees with honey in spring. This is the most simple and easiest way of doing it, besides the most sure. Keep off all surplus boxes during spring and confine the bees to the brood cham ber until near the approach of the honey harvest. A. H. Duff, in Farm ers Voice. SAFE CHICKEN COOP. An Arraavemont Which Affords Per fect Protection from Hawks, Cats and Otber Thieve. In the illustration is shown a good arrangement for prqtecting half- grown chickens from hawks and cata. The wire netting is two-inch mesh, and the side and end boards may reach any height. The coop at the end gives protection at night and during the day from sun and rain. Of course it ' COOP WITH HAWK-PROOF RUN. may be made of any dimensions to suit convenience. We have seen such runs' only one foot high and we have seen them five feet high. Such an arrange ment is quite costly, but it gives per fect protection, and saves all trouble with birds flying over. Farmers Re view. BRAN IS EXCELLENT. Pomltrr Thrive on M imn It Ooava tales a Ooaerona Proportlaat of Kl Uat, Bran la excellent for poultry, and one point in favor of bran is that it contains a much larger propor tion of lime than any other cheap food derived from grain, and as the shells of eggs are composed of lime it is essential that food rich in lime be provided. It may be urged that the use of oyster shells will pro vide lime, but it will be found that it is the lime in the food that is most serviceable, because it is in a form that can be better digested and assimilated than carbonate of lime, says the American Fancier. Clover is also rich in lime; and when a mess of cut clover and bran is given the fowls they will need no oyster shells or other mineral mat ter as a source from which to draw the supply of lime for the eggs. Do not forget that in summer, however, the use of all kinds of foods should, be used with judgment. If the hens have a free range give no food at all as long as they are laying, but if they begin to fall oil, let bran be the leading ingredient of the food al lowed. In winter the bran and clover are even more essential, as the fowls cannot then secure green food on the range. Hae Learned a Lemon. Those who stick to the old method of setting hens, and there are many thousands who do, have learned val uable lessons from the incubator, says an exchange. First: They have learned to choose eggs of uniform size and of perfect shape, with sound shells. As incubator chickens do not have lice, they hove learned, second ly, to dust thoroughly their hens be fore setting, and two or three times during the period of incubation. Thirdly: They have learned to use clean nest boxes and clean bedding. They confine the hens to coops and take great pains to place proper food and water before them. Fourthly: Many test the eggs under hens, fol lowing the example of the machine men. and after testing three sittings. ' for example, and throwing out the infertile eggs, place the live eggs un der the two hens and re-set the third, thus gaining time and compelling "Biddy" to do her full share of the -work. - HE OTHER. MAN By Copyright. MB, by J. P. "All very fine!" Rick sneered. "Now that you've got the title, I suppose you think you'll capture, the lady besides. But don't be too sure!" The caddish thrust told. The baro net quivered, and then steadied himself as does a good fencer when his enemy's foil touches a vital spot. His eyes blazed, yet still he kept admirable outward control of his temper. With cool and cutting irony he rejoined: "If the lady gets you, I shall be the first to congratulate her on her ex ceedingly wise choice. She might do better. I do not see bow she could do worse!' Then he passed out to the grass, paused, and again . turned to where Richard stood, speechless with rage and chagrin, saying as though to a men caller: '1 win order the gig round In an hour. There la a train at 12:40. I would not hurry you, or hint that I am the master here, but doubtless you will be glad to leave Denecroft,' And with a slight bow he passed round a turret angle, and Richard saw him no more. Thus the brothers parted. Half mad and blind with rage, morti fication, and self-condemnation Rich ard went to his room, tossed his traps "MARCTA," HE WENT ON, "BEFORE I GO YOU MUST CHOOSE ONCE FOR ALL BETWEEN THE RICH BARO NET AND THE POOR BARRISTER." into his bag, left directions for the gig to bring it after him, and then started to walk to the station. Long before he reached London his better self regained the ascendancy, and bitterly he rued the wrong he had done his. brother and the mess he had made of things. Pride forbade him to go back and apologize as he ought. Not a penny of that cursed money would he touch. He would leave Eng land and carve out an Independent fortune for himself. But at first he most see Jdarcla and find out If she too were among the things he had that day lost. Fortunately he found her "at home" and alone. It was the first time they had met since his father's death, and as she rose and eame forward with out stretched hands to welcome him she said - "I knew you would come to me first upon your return." - Her words and her manner fell like balm on his storm-tossed and angry spirit, and something like a sob had to be gulped down before he could speak, and even then his eyes were suspiciously moist. "Yes," he said, leading her to a seat, "and even now I am come to say good-by. I am leaving England," he continued in answer to the mute and appealing inquiry in her eyes. "Leaving England!" she replied in deep contralto tones; "and why?" "To make my fortune," he answered as Jauntily as he could. "But surely " she began, when he took the words out of her mouth. "Oh, yes, Sir Arthur has done the handsome thing so far as money is concerned, but we've had a beastly row, and I can't touch a penny. So I'm going away." "A quarrel with Sir Arthur going away!" she repeated dully, with dilated eyes. He nodded. "But it was all my fault; I acted like a cad. I was mad with doubt and uncertainty. Arthur be haved like a Dysart practically ordered me off the premises, just as I'd have done if he had cheeked me. I've only myself to thank," he concluded gloomily. Richard was very, very young, or he would have known that one of the surest ways to a woman's heart is self depreciation, especially when that woman is in love with a man. Because then she has the satisfaction of prov ing, among other things, that her idol is not made of clay. For Rick it was a relief thus to make confession, to look into her j troubled eyes, their depths stirred for j him, as he felt, and to divine- that she j at least would not be indifferent to his i I Marcia laid her cool palm on his hot hand, and unthinkingly , left It there. In a moment he had covered it with 1 the other, and held it imprisoned. j "I own I was in the wrong," he re- ! Iterated. "But I was wild at the thought ' riKDIRIC REDDALt Uppineott Compear. that perhaps I had lost everything. Marcia," he went on, "before I go you must choose once for all between the rich baronet and the 1 poor barrister. Yon know what I mean, dear!" . The warm color rose to her cheeks; her bosom palpitated; her breath came and went in fitful unison with its throbbing, v He held her hands Insist ently, nor did she strive to withdraw them. Raising her eyes to his she said, while a half smile dimpled her mouth: "You foolish boy! the choice w made years and years ago, and it isu-t the baronet!" she faltered, as her head sunk on his shoulder. - "My darling!" he exclaimed, as he strained her yielding form to him, "do you mean Itf" v ' - "Yes." she sighed blissfully; "It seems as If I had always loved you. Rick!" "And will you wait for me, MarciaT" he queried. v;;.-1 "For ever and always!" she rejoined, gladly and -proudly, smiling at him through her happy tears. , ' And thus they parted, plighting their troth.- In a week Richard Dysart sailed for Cape Town, to try his luck in the diamond diggings. CHAPTER IIL It is a far cry from the African veldt, with its tragedies and its strenuous struggles for Nature's crude wealth, to the neighborhood of the most re spectable Old Lady of Threadneedle street, yet under her beneficent shadow there are equally fierce strivings for financial prestige and power. In a richly and newly furnished suite of offices in Mincing Lane there sat one morning a man whose word and fiat had in less than a year become a power in the "city." Upon the outer door was emblazoned in severely plain script the name "Rossiter Kane." His outer office was besieged, even as early as" ten o'clock, by a motley crowd stock-brokers, promoters, solid men, with here and there a titled name, speculators, clerks, and messengers. The air teemed with, suppressed excite ment, and rumors of vast deals, enter prises of monetary pith and moment, flew from lips to eager ears. The weekly press printed the wildest gossip concerning the man, and even in the West End clubs one caught his name tossed and bandied about from group to group. ' "Most astonishing personality," said the veteran stock-jobber, Marmaduke Ashby, to some of his cronies. "How much Is he worth? Ask me some thing easy, dear boy; I know he cleared a , hundred . thousand in Tires alone. Everything he touches turns out well. Kane's lead Is good enough for me!" "Who is he. and where did he come from?" querrled another, not so well informed. "Says he's an American." was the answer, "but I know he came here di rect from South Africa. He must have been In the diamond fields, for he marketed some of the finest uncut stones ever seen In Europe." "Yes, and that makes me think of another funny thing," broke in young. Lord Appleby; "he doesn't seem to know any of the African gang. Wonder If he was ever an I. D. B.V these cabal istic letters standing for "illicit dia mond buyer." "Rot!" rejoined Ashby.. "He doesn't belong to the Barney Barnato crowd. that's alL Everything he does is well done, and there's none of their heath enish display and barbaric 'push' about Kane. He's a gentleman at heart, whatever his origin, or I miss mv guess. Why, he goes everywhere, and you'll find his name on the subscrip tion list of every hospital and charity In London." "I'd like to know how he does it," sighed young Appleby, who took am occasional flyer In stocks. "Why don't you ask him?" said one of the group Jokingly. "I did." was the naive reply. "Says he, 'I've starved, I've tramped, I've i almost begged, but things eame my way at last!'" ' "Sort of Orphic revelation, that," laughed Renniss. "Do you suppose it can be true?' "Shouldn't wonder a bit; 111 wager a hat that those cool eyes and. that smooth face have looked on some rare doings." When Kane threw open his Park Lane mansion all the world and his wife flocked thither, no less to be seen than to see the enigma of a man who had literally captured the realms of fashion and finance single-handed. 1 As he stood to receive his guests, with polished ease, as though to the manner born, one saw a man five feet ten inches in height, of rather spare yet hardy frame, delicately chiselled features cleanly shaven as an abbe's, with hair closely cropped, slightly tinged with gray at the temples, and a pair of blue eyes that had a curious trick of dilating and contracting, of darkening and lightening, according to the mood that possessed their owner. In age he might be anywhere from 35 to 50. On being presented to his host old General Scarlett remarked "They tell me you have been quite a .'traveler. Mr. Kane?" "I have seen quite a little of the world." was the smiling reply, "but very few know the ups and downs- that have fallen to my lot. I was bom to America, but my fatter I never saw ' to remember him. I was a waif , an outcast of the Sierra camps, adopted by an old miner who had nothing to give me hut his nanfe and surname." But for the interruption occasioned by the arrival of more guests Kane might have added that he had been a veritable Jack-of-all-trades teamster, -mail carrier, prospector, miner and gambler in that free-for-all country known as the "West." Drifting around the world to South Africa, he succes sively clerked in an up-country store, dealt faro and played the piano in dance-houses in Kimberley and Johan nesburg, where he had also picked up some knowledge of the diamond country. -. ".' "How had he come by his wealth in diamonds?". Found them, like many another man. of' course. Success had come to him very suddenly a "strike." : he called It and then changed the sub- Ject j Men sought his society for the mar j ket "tips" he could give; women liked , him for the air of quiet power which pervaded every word and action. Said one titled dame to some inti mates over their afternoon tea: ' "My dears, his house is a marvel of chaste elegance, and bis weekly din ners are a dream! In his waking hours he is surrounded by crowds of clients, guests, or. dependents. How he stands the pace is more than I can fathom, yet he is always smiling and debonair, cool and . collected, and .never at a loss for a timely 'word or a suitable remark: De Lacy says he seems equally at home with dowagers or debutantes, with dukes or cab-drivers, with money-kings or erossing-sweepers." ; And It was true, every word of It. One episode, widely reported at that time, throws a flood of light upon the character of this much-canvassed per sonage. Kane had manipulated a big corner in "Cochineal Consols;" one of the fan cy stocks of the day, and had the mar ket at his mercy. Among the "shorts" was a small speculator named Ackerly, who on more than one occasion had run foul of Kane and his schemes. When "settling day" came, Ackerly stood to be ruined if Kane chose to force mat ters. It so happened . that his daugh ter, Rose Ackerly, who had been stu dying music, was to make her pro fessional debut the same night at Queen's Hall. Upon the eventful morning that would seal her father's fate she drove up to Kane's office and besought an interview with the great man. Her eyes suffused with tears, and her voice trembling with emotion, she begged the financier's indulgence for her father. "Women should not meddle with such matters." was Kane's curt and stern comment. Then "Does your father know -of this visitr "No, oh, no, sir," was the tremulous but evidently truthful reply. - "You must understand, I am sure, Miss Ackerly, that it is merely the fortune of war, and ordinary usage in ! the city is no respecter of persons," said Kane quietly, and then with a sudden change of manner and a genial smile he went on: "But such a sweet supplicant must not go unrewarded. ! You may leave it to me your father shall not suffer." He stopped her thanks with a wave of the hand, and then, Inquired: -.' "And how is your recital coming along? Can I be of any assistance there?" j , "If you only would!" the girl began. ! timidly. "One needs so much Influ ence in London, you know." "Say no more," said Kane, quickly. "I see how it is; you shall have a good house." Hardly was she gone, a new light shining in her pretty, eyes, than Kane dispatched a messenger for 50 guineas' worth of seats, and put his secretary at work addressing notes to the more influential of his friends, begging their j acceptance of the tickets enclosed, and j bespeaking - their musical e. As a consequence, Rose Ackeriy's fortune was made. "I can be hard as nails," Kane said when taxed with soft-heartedness anent this performance; "Ackeriy's a cor and richly deserved to be made to squeal; but every man should know how to temper Justice with mercy. I've been in too many tight places my self not to realize how it feels to be Jumped on!" , So there you have the unique person ality, outward and inward, then newly launched in the cream of English so ciety. No smart function was complete without him, and in response to his own lavish entertaining in town during the season, he was deluged with invi tations to visit some of the most ex clusive country houses in England 'for the shooting season. Being a bachelor, "with not a relative in the world," as he said, he was naturally regarded as a big fish in the matrimonial swim, and might have married a titled beau ty before the summer was over, thus reversing the accepted Anglo-American procedure in recent years. In course of time Rossiter Kane's round of autumn visits brought him to Denecroft. Three years had passed from the date of Richard Dysart's self-expatria-tion. Time had brought no outward change in the lives of those hitherto : concerned in this story. Stella Dysart ! was still reigning mistress- at .Dene- ! croft. Sir Arthur, as may be imagined, j lost no time in putting the all-impor- i tant question to Marcia Churchill, j only to be met with a gracious but kindly refusal and the tidings that 'his brother had been beforehand. Thence- j forward he remained single, nor i showed no signs of transferring his af fections elsewhere. ' Marcia kept her troth, although lit tle aad been heard from the absent lad. A brace of letters in the first six months; then a long silence; finally a single impassioned appeal enclosing his picture, for which she had asked, reiterating his undying love, begging her to wait for , him. hinting at all sorts of bad luck, but intimating that a, certain venture then impending would make or break him. After that, silence and suspense. ; , True to his word. Sir Arthur paid in 2,000 to Richard's credit at the fam ily banker's, but it was never drawn against. Whatever he was doing, the boy was clearly determined to sink or j swim by. bis own unaided efforts. The j Baronet, on his part, felt too deeply j wounded to write or make any over- tures at a reconciliation. ; So Marcia waited, her beauty en- ' hanced and spiritualised by her faith ful love and daily hope. "He will come back," she said for the hundredth time. -. "Of course he win," echoed Stella, for Rick had been her favorite brother, and In these latter days she and Mar cia learned to love each other as sis ters, and Jokingly vowed to live to gether as old maids to the end of the chapter.. Rossiter Kane had met Stella Dysart in town, likewise Marcia Churchill. With the former he appeared to be at once empresse, and It would be hard to say which of the two girls liked him beet. With Sir Arthur, too, he got along famously, for his was the happy faculty of adapting himself, ohamele- on-like, to the surroundings or the per- Vson with 'which or " with f whom he happened for the moment to be brought In contact. He could interest himself in Sir Arthur's old manuscripts and early Italian "canzonets, although, as he quietly confessed to Stella, he had no personal appreciation of their beau ty or their value. - "I started too late In life. Miss Dy sart," he would say,' "and what I need most Is some kind person to take pity on me, become my mentor, and lick me into shape, as we used to say out west." . it needed no oracle to interpret the rr v. v inference. Rossiter Kane, had the nomination been left to him, would have chosen his mentor then and there, and the post would have pos sessed a life tenure. - Evidently Kane's time had come at last, and he was hard hit, He had es caped the nieces and the maohina- MORNINO AFTER MORNING FOUND HIM AT HER SIDE IN LONG RIDES. tions of managing mammas all through the season, only to surrender at dis cretion to this motherless girl whose thoughts were more for her absent brother than for the chances of pick ing up a husband. And, then, of course, she had not known him very long or very well. But this was a matter that could read ily be remedied by a mastermind, and Kane took care that Stella Dysart hnulrl .hRTP nlantv rvf ihnnpa tn ha. ,m RJ.,ntj0(1 vm tn ,ho two weeks he spent under the Baronet's roof. " -; v V. Day after, day, al though, a splendid shot, he would decline to go out with the other guns; morning after morn ing found him at her side in long rides through the Dorset woods and uplands; night after night in the drawing-room he strove, like Othello, to awaken her interest by recounting strange tales of . adventure by flood and field ' of which, It is but fair to cay, he was only occasionally the hero. Nor were his efforts wholly in vain. Stella Dysart was half-won when her curiosity was excited and her expecta tion aroused by the many moods of this extraordinary man. From the instant of their first meet ing, Roaster Kane determined to win her for his wife. Thenceforward life had but one object for him, and if ever a pure and unsullied affection for a spotless maiden could redeem a man and lift: him out of his lurid past, here was certainly such an occasion. Akin to every other man born of woman, Rossiter Kane was a com pound of good and evil, with the evil predominating at times, not from love thereof, but from force of circum stances. A modern satirist has registered the truthful saying that it Is easy to be virtuous on five thousand a year. Kane the pariah, the outcast, forced to live by his wits, took life at a vast ly different view-point from Kane the millionaire. A change of fortune killed off the weeds, and gave the in- l nate and dormant good in his charac ter a" chance to fructify. If he could only have blotted out I certain cruel memories of stratagems and spoils his present outlook would have been serene and full of promise. ' CHAPTER IT.
