further. 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. T h e
driver and the cart, where are they?“

T h e captain's sharp eyes searched
the mist that was rising in the valley.
“ The driver seems to be on the
box," he said. “ 1 shall want him to
drive these rascals back to Mantes."
‘Send him to me at once." Chao-
velin broke in curtly.
Raffet gave tbe necessary orders, al

But

enough by an exclamation from R af

“ Charles-Marie I What In a dog’s

“ 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. Citizen Captain.” pro
tested the unfortunate Charles-Marie.
“ It s God’s truth. I don't know.”
"Y ou must know why you are not
sitting on the box of the diligence.”
“ Yes. I know thet, for I scrambled
down as soon as I saw Gaspard fall
on y6n, Citizen Captain."
“ Why did you scramble down?”
“ Because the horses were restive.
At the first pistol shot they started
rearing and I bad i mighty task to
hold them
Fortunately, some one
came and gave me a band with them."
“ What do you mean by ‘some one
came'? 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. Citizen Captain, but I
never was a fighting man. and I didn't
like those pistol shots all about me.
One o f them might have caught me, I
say, and it was only right I should
find cover somewhere, lest Indeed I
be bit by mistake."
"Y ou abominable coward t" Raffet
rejoined savagely. “ But all that doe*

"W ell, citizen. It was like this: The
drover from Alnconrt saw that 1 was
not altogether happy, and he said to
me, T h e re 'll be a lot more fighting

Mr W illiam A. Radford will answer
questions and givs advica FRE E OF
COST on all problem! pertaining to the
aubject of building work on the farm,
for tha readers of this paper. On ac
count of his wide experience as editor,
author and manufacturer, be la, with

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. They are connected with

As a rule, the narrower any kind o'

good workmanship Is used and mn
terlals are all right In themselves.
The reason for this Is that th*

less than It Is fo r a wide one, and tha

care should be given the fumlamentnl*
that mean comfort and stnblllty, su*'l
as heating, plumbing, solid structural
construction, c tc„ but the housewife's
demand* for nrnple storage and closet
space must not be overlooked.
The entrance should be hospitable
and so placed as to help the harmony
o f the building—not necessarily In the
exact center o f the front wall, hut In
harmony with the other features of
the house. One too frequently seen
fault o f modem houses Is that the
doorways are small. The fine, big
