THE T R IM NE.

Astonishment not unmixed with terror rendered him speechless The Scarlet Pim pernel' T e Godsl And the chief o f section and his friend at the mercy o f that Bend I Even now hie straining ears seemed to perceive through those calls for help a triumph •nt battle cry In a barbaric tongue. "H ere I" he cried to the trooper*. “T w o o f you are sufficient to bring these rascals along; and you corporal, and tw o men come with me. CHI ten I.a met and bit friends are being mur dered even now.“ He harried down the road followed by the corporal and two men o f the gendarmerie, while those that were left behind saw to It that the perpe tratora o f all this additional outrage and o f all this pother were duly start ed on their way. T o them RalTet shouted a Anal: T h r e e o f you remain to guard the prisoners and make ready for an Im mediate start when we return." Then he disappeared round the bend In the road. T b e shouting had ceased as Raffel snd his troopers hurried along. In- leed. at first he might have thought that hla ears bad deceived him, had not that agonised call for help still rta- *n Insistently through the gloom, tie searched the darkness, and suddenly a sight greeted him by the roadside which caused the hair to stand up >n his head. At first this seemed sothlng but a bundle lying half In and salf ont o f the ditch tn the mud. with tbe drip-drip from the trees making t slimy puddle around it. It was from this bundle that the calls for help and die curses proceeded. It was appalling I Almost unbeliev able for there were the chief of sec tion in the rural division of the de partment of Seine et Oise. C itlien Lauzet, and his friend from Paris irbom Captain BafTet knew as Citizen Chauvelln, a man who stood high In the estimation o f the government, and they were lying In a muddy puddle tn the ditch like a pair o f calves tied together for market. RalTet might nave dls6elleved his eyes, had It not oeen for the language which Citizen Lauzet used all the while that tbe rope which bound him was being cut oy the corporal. “ Thank the Lord." Raffet exclaimed fervently, "that you are s a f e r T i l have 'em flayed alive, the ras cals!“ Lauzet exclaimed In a voice rendered feeble and hoarse with much shouting, as well a* with rage. T h e guillotine is too mild a death for such miscreants. They attacked me. citi zen captain, would yon believe It? M el Chief o f section In the rural gendarmerie I Have you ever beard of such an ou trage! They shouted at oa from behind. My friend and i were riding along quite slowly, and we bad just turned Into the bridle path from tbe road. We beard the cart and all the shouting, but we thought that they were just a pack of drunken oafs returning fmm mar k e t So we paid no heed; not even when anon we heard that on the road the cart had drawn up and. chancing to glance back at tbe moment I saw those louts jumping helter skelter out o f tbe c a rt And the next moment they were on ns. the lot o f them. Ten or a dozen o f them they were, the rogues I” T h e miserable scoundrels I” Raffet ejaculated fervently. T h e y dragged us out o f our sad dles," Lauzet continued, “ they beat us ■bout the head." “ Name o f a nam e!" "And all the while they kept od shouting. T r a ito r ! T ra ito r! Give up the English spy to us.' [ d vain did we cry and protest They would not bear us, and what could we do against * dozen o f them? Then Anally they bound us with ropes, wound our cra vats about our mouths so that we could scarcely breathe, and lifted us Into that jolting cart, where we lay more dead than alive while it was driven by a lout at breakneck speed." "H a v e no fear, citizen," Raffet put In forcefully, "th eir punishment shall be exemplary.“ “ I have no fear,” Lauzet retorted dryly, “ for I’ll see to their punish ment myself. The scamps, the limbs of Satan I Rut I’ll teach them I There we lay, citizen captain, at the bottom of tbe cart, my friend Citizen Chauve tin, who wore tbe tricolor scarf o f o f fice around bis middle, and I, chief commissary o f the district, and those ruffians actually dared to wipe their shoes on us! So we drove for a kilo meter and a half through the forest. Then presently the cart drew op and all these louts Jumped down like a pack o f puppies and ran away up the hill with shouts that would wake the dead. The last I remember, for In the Jolting and my cramped poslton I had partly lost consciousness, was tbut my friend and I were lifted out o f the cart as unceremoniously as we had been thrust Into IL W e were then thruwn Into the ditch by the roadside, tn the mud. Just whore you ultimately found na. and our cravata were loosened from round our month*. Immediately we started screaming for help, but there was such a din going on up the road that we felt the sound o f our voices could not posslhlv reach you. Fortunately In the end. you did hear os, or maybe we should have per ished o f cold and Inanition." “ Malediction r Itaffot swore vl dously. “ And you might have been at tacked by those cursed English spies while you lay helpless here. We thought we heard them, and their bat tle cry, and hurried to your assist ance." Chauvetln showed no emotion. Aa soon as the rope that held him had been severed he had sat up on a brok en tree stump, staring straight out be fore him Into the mist, and m editative ly stroking his sore wrists and arm*. When first those abominable lout* had thrust him and Lauzet tn the bot tom o f the earl and he lay there bound and gagged, nursing hts stupen dous wrath and hopes o f revenge, he had become aware that the driver, who still sat aloft Just above him, had suddenly turned and, leaning over, had peered Into bit face. It had only been a brief glacce; the next moment the man was sitting up quite straight again, snd all that CbauveMn saw o f him wa* hla back, with the great breadth o f shoulders and a general look o f power and tenacity. Rut It was the brief vision o f that glanc* that Ohauvelln now was striving to recapture. The blue-gray eyes with their heavy lids that could not be dis guised. and the mocking glance which had seemed to him like rasping metal against his exacerbated nerves. And suddenly he called to Raffet.

But whatever vague hopes he might have entertained were dissipated soon enough by an exclamation from R af fet. “ Charles-Marie I What In a dog’s name are you doing here?" And a weak, querulous voice rosa In reply. “ He told me I was to run along and drive the cart back to Mantes for him. He— ” “ He?” queried Raffet sharply. "W h o?" “ I don’t know, Citizen Captain," re plied Charles-Marie. “ Who ordered you to leave the dili gence and your horses?” “ I don't know.

Who was It?” "H e was a drover from Alnconrt, Citizen Captain, and so he knew all about horses; and bow could I keep four terrified horses quiet all by my self?" “ You miserable fool 1" "A ll very well.

With fat cattle selling, when this was written, at $17.00 per hundred, the raising and feeding o f beef ani mals Is most profitable. However, the feeding operations on the farm will bring a greater return where there Is equipment to cut the labor cost and to house the animals so that the feed they consume be used to the best ad vantage. Herewith Is reproduced an exterior view of a modern beef feeding planL Also there are floor plans showing bow the exterior Is arranged and a cross-section giving some o f the de tails o f construction. The barn Is T ” shaped. The main structure is 34 feet wide and 100 feet long. The stable floor Is open and Is provided with nay racks and mangers running through the center. These racks are built up so that hay Is stored in the racks, making an abundant supply constantly available to the animals. At the front o f the barn are the feed storage and mixing rooms with twin silos, one on either side. These silos are 14 feet In diameter and 28 feet high.
