Up to a certain point lie always did all tho talking; but he know when to quit, lie submitted himself to their crogs-oxainlnntlon graciously. Thoy wero simple, hurd-hoadod men, and ho answored them patiently and careful ly. lie had accumulated a great fund of data relating to the life of such structures as he proposed building! the cost of maintenance; the heating nnd Hunting questions and the matter of service. Much of this was wholly new to tho country capitalists! It was novel and It was Interesting and there wns u glamour about It that oharmcd them. "You'll go ovor to the club for lunch con, gontlumon," ho said, when tho whistles Mew nt 12 o'clook, and sovoral of his symllcnto drow out tliotr watch es "with me," ho added. "Wo'll go about 1." . After' seeing thorn fed at tho dom morclal Club he parted with them with tho understanding that ho was to Bunroli for a proper idle for tho Pnto- kn Flats, as the apnrtmont house was to ho called, and report on a dny llxod lie returned to his oltlco for n further conference with Van Cleve, his lawyer. j no tint project was uppermost in imi comb's mind, nnd ho was bent on push Ing It thruiigh. Ills Intorurbnnltos had already aubscrlbed for consldernbla stock and ho was rensonnbly sure of getting all the money he nteded. Tlmei were good; there wns plenty of capital I 'oiling Investment, nnd the Incnrporn lorn of tho Putoktt Land nnd Improve ment Company were men of considera ble Influence In their several commuul ties. "I sny, Van Cleve." remarked Dal- comb to tho lawyer, "we're going to mi. mo n lilg winner out of this. Home of the things I've put through are Jolly rotten I but this flat scheme Is nwny up and out of sight the best thing I cer tackled." "Those farmers nru stuck on It, nil right," said Van Cleve. "Vou certainty know how to blow hot nlr." "There's only one place for that lint." remarked llaleomh. musingly. "That's otd Dsmerou's place on tho creek at High street. The malaria Is nil drain ed out of there now anil It's getting more valuable every day. The exten sion of the park system along the ereek and the building of the boulevard wilt give tho region a whirl, It's only n country-town Idea that nptrtmonl Mouses must bo built on tho court, house square; but we'll show them, all right" Ho opened a plat book nnd pointed out to Van Clevo tho location of the Dameron ground. "I suppose the old man will throw a fit when I ask him for n price on '.ho strip. Kvcrybody seems to be nfrnld of i:rn Dameron lint I'm not half as imieh afraid of him ns I am of his daughter, who's a pleasant rest for tired eyes, all right.

I rvaent kelug cut be tore my friends by a man whom thoy hare a right to aeeume I know." "1 fear that you exaggerate. Captain l'ollook.

Ills effort to be respectful In his an per showed a quality of character that touched the old man, who looked at the ereet, uneomuromliilHg rlgure with liking In spite of himself. "I am not In the liablt of giving rea son for things 1 do. Captain I'ullock. and It would pain me very much to be obliged to explain why I may have eemed to treat you with discourtesy.

"Vou will pardon me It I sit down, Captain Pollock" and Merrlam drag ged a chair forward and sank Into It, whllo I'ollook remained standing and glaring nt htm.

"Entirely. 1'ray have a scat, to oblige me." Pollock sat down reluctantly. Tho house wns very quiet; It was a hot day and tho nlr In the room was tense. "Captain," said the old gentteman, quietly, with his black eyes resting kindly on the visitor, "I regret very much that you have come to mo with this question becauee you havo never In tho world done anything to offend mo not In tho slightest. As far ns I know, you are a gentleman beyond any question, nnd worthy of the highest consideration In all places." "Then, sir " "Mease wait!

It doesn't concern you nt all. It was a matter between your father and myself." "I don't suppose you over saw my father In your life. He's been dead fif teen years!" "Quito that." iwtd tho colonel. "I could, from my tMpors here, give you the exact date If It were Important. Your father nnd I were somewhat ac quainted during the Civil War and the recollection Is unpleasant. I beg you to drop the matter. I am an old men " "You are mad, you are perfectly mad!" declared Pollock, his voice ring ing out In the room. "You not only Insult me, but you drag my dead father Into this romance. If you didn't llki my seeing your nieces, why didn't you say so In n straight manly way and not Invent a lot of fanciful tales to back you up? It's wholly possible that you knew my father. He wns n man of honor! His name Is n good one In his own Htnto. I mil proud of It And It ought to count someihlng for mo Hint I am an olllcor In the army Hint he fought against I would warn you, sir, that my father's name Is n sacred thing to mot" "I'm sure that Is so, Captain Pol lock.

"Please bo sealed, and don't I beg of you, ntsrm tho servants, I'm going to tell you what tins trouble . and before I Ugln I want lo nMlogln for doing so. And when I finish It wilt take but n moment I'm going to aiol- eglse to you again. I am M years old. Captain Iollork. and I don't remember Unit I ever niMdogtsed to any one be fore. The most comfortable thing a man can have Is a had memory. My trouble Is that I never forget anything. It was after we nau captured lonel- aon. I HM len sent nacg nere to Ml rlona, my home, on an errand to the (loverner, who was having a time of It, righting Copperheads and getting troo Into the field. Tlte old railway elation down here woe a horrible sight the night the iMtieuon prisoners were brought In. Many of them were slek and they wore taken from the oars and laid out on tho lloor until thoy oould bo carried to Camp liurnslde, whleh had been turned Into n rebel prison. "I was down looking over the prison ers when I struck a little chap who was badly used up. He said his name was Hamilton. He was n Confederate private, but evidently a man of educa tion ami breeding. He was on fire with fever, and the whole sit net Urn at the station was so forbidding that got liermtssion lo take him to my father's house. TlMt'a where Mr. D.tmeron lives now. The oirleer In charge of the prisoners was a friend of mine; and when he let me take Hamilton away, aa a favor, I gave my personal pledge that he should be delivered nt the prison whenever they wanted him. "At home we took a fa nay to Hamil ton. He was up and about the house In a couple of weeks. I gave htm some of my civilian clothes so that he eould go down Into town. There eeciued to be nothing unusual about him. He was a forlorn young fellow a prisoner, tar from home, and my father and the reet of them at the house liked him. We used to call hint our little rebel. One day the commandant at the prison sent a guard to the house to ar rest Hamilton, but he bad disappeared. We harned then that he was all kinds Of a bad lot a dangerous spy who had been captured at Uonelson purely by accident but he had turned his oaptUM and Illness to good advantage. Mart ona was the headquarters or a darlnvt bund of Southern sympathisers, and Hamilton hud established linos of com- munUVUlan with the leaders. There was a scheme afoot to assassinate the Oovurnor. and he was to have done the act Ills line of retreat to the Ohio had been carefully managed. Hamilton had warning of the dis covery of the plot there was a Cop perhead behind every loyal man here In those days and got away safely. Hut you oan see that, having vouohod for him and harbored him, I was put In a nice position with the authorities. I offered to submit to arrest, but they wouldn't have It. The Governor sent for me and told me to go and tlnd Hamilton. I was captain of artillery and my chances of advancement were good; but I resigned my commission and spent a year looking for him. He be came notorious as a spy, who sllppod In and out of our Unas with astound ing daring. He found out that I was after him, nnd we used to exchange our compliments at long range. As I think of It now I got a good deal of tun out of the chase, and" tho old man smiled "I fancy the other fellow did, too. The story Is long and It wouldn't In terest you. I never caught him. I went once Into a circle of men In the Gait House at Louisville where he sat X thought I had him sure. ' ca up and holtcd, I following. We hn a mad run for It there In tho street, but ho got away.

That business ruined my ca reer In tho army. Thero are a gresl many things that might have been dif ferent. If 1 hadn't seriously compro mised myself In that matter. Tho con tcmptlblo thing was tho abuse of hos- piiamy nnu commence, i prouaoij saved tho man's life; nnd ho betrayed us nil In tho most Infamous fashion possible." Pollock roso abruptly. He had lis tened with a pttztted took on his fact to Itodney Merrlam's recital. He laugh od now, tho nervous laugh of relief. "This man was a spy, sent out by th Confedernto War Department on spe cial errands for tho Confederate Presi dent ' Is that right?" ho asked. "Thnt Is correct.

I havo no objection to him on that ac count Hut he served mo a. scurv trick I ought to forget It, t suppose, but, as I toll you, I m nn old man, nnd I look backward a good deal. Youi father served mo a nasty trick and your presence here has reminded me ol It very disagreeably." "That man, Mr, Merrlam, was no more my father than you are." "I oan hardly be mistaken. Tout father wan a Confederate officer hi was a Tennenneo man " "Ho was all that. sir. Ho was nn en gineer on duty at Itlchmond through out tho war and was never n scout ot spy In his life. If you had been ni careful as you pretend to bo In tooklns up his record you would havo found that out'1 "Hut the nnme? It Is your name." Tho old man was greatly annoyed and perplexed, and ho rose now slowly and stood facing the young ofllcor. Trnnk Pollock, the spy, was a re mote cousin of my father's. I don't be lieve father over hsd any ncqunlnlanci with him. I wns named for nnothet connection of the family, who wasn't u I'ollook at nil. Your man Pollock got Into n tot of sarnpes after the war. I'll even grant you that ho wasn't quit reputnble. If you wish to verify whnl I sny I'll refer you to a hundred men In Knoxvllle, Itlchmond, Memphis, Atlan ta, who knew my father nnd who know of this othor man, too. Do you want my roferencea?"

Healthy Fowls. Tho natural tnhorltanco ot nil fowls Is constitutional vigor, provided, ol courso, thoy nro not enfeobleu by In judicious brooding. Constitutional vigor can be malutnlnod nnd brought nbout by choosing tho strongest, healthiest nnd hardiest of tho stock for breeders ovory spring nnd by killing off tho wonk nnd sickly ones In the fall. Tho Introduction of fresh blood frequently not only keeps up tho stamina, health nnd vigor of stock, hut It alio enables them to resist slok noes nnd auddutt changes of woollier much hotter than fowls closely and continuously Inbrod, or fowls not bred to nuy dogroo of constitutional ox oellenco, or selected for establishing any permanent quality. Poultry Runs, Thoro la moro or loss dry woathor during tho summer, nnd the runs not Infroqucntly becomo bnked, nnd In heavy soils moro or less filthy, Tho man who has tho host lntorests of his stock nt heart will once n weok use a hand plow In such yards and stir up tho soil so aa to mako It loose and fresh, If ho does this nt night, the next morning tho fowls will get at work, scratching, hunting worms nnd stirring up things gonerally. It Is wondorful how much they find tn this turned up soil that furnishes thorn both amusoment nnd food. Food for Fowls. Tho nntural grain food of fowls Is hard nnd they should bo fed hard grain when In confinement All poultry that nro not pure-bred are not scrubs. .When growing fowls expressly for markot, many poultrymen prefer cross breds.
