That is the best I can do.' Souravieff put his hand with impulsive gratitude into his pocket, and then, moved by the counter currents of prudence, drew it forth empty. "I am exceedingly obliged to you, Sar to," lie said warmly, '"and I am indeed glad to have been able to give you this lift. Here is jour hotel. No, do not thank me; the obligation is on my side, end remember, my man," he lowered his voice confidently, "if anything should in duce you to give up your present position you must be sure to let me know." That afternoon at four o'clock, while. In company with two fair ladies who shall be nameless, our friend Ludovic Sar to was sitting tranquilly in the Congres sional Limited speeding to Washington, a perturbed Bussian diplomat paced up and down the spacious reading-room of the I'nion Club, straining his eyes anxiously out of the broad windows with increasing impatience as the minutes passed by and iie Prince del Pino did not appear! CIIAPTKU IX. Saturday in New York had been ccld mid blustery, Sunday in Washington was warm with the breath of the tropics. On the wide pavements the summer sun fell glitteriugly wherever the black-etched shadow of the iong tree arcades gave it a chaii.e lo fall at all. There was touch of languor in the still air, a hreaihiess ness. the masses of greenery hardly mov ing a leaf, above them u palpitating blue sky. In the .Metropolitan Club the big elec tric fans were whirling madly all day, but the very few loungers in the comparative ly deserted rooms preferred to sit by the front windows looking out into shady II street, down which an occasional saun terer passed iu the lightest of summer "dot lies. As the day wore on the atmosphere be came heavier, the sky veiled iu an omin ous gray opaqueness near the horizon. "Going to have a thunder storm," pre di'led a tall man in white tiannels who was standing by one of the club windows at about five o'clock. "That's because I'm dining at the Country Club to-night. Just my link." He groaned. "It's diffi cult going through an electric storm in ln automobile." "Pocket your pride and take a trolley car." suggested the other man who was looking out. "Th-'M- cloud.v won't work tip b. lore midnight, aii)a, if they ,j tt all." lie put up an eye-glass. "There's an fi'lur I'.p coining along. Funny how you -an tell t ii in instantly by their walk!

W hile visible at intervals, near at hand seemingly and yet curiously remote, aloof, tho monument, like a silver arrow, pierced the siil air, pointing heavenward. Occasionally asking his way and al ways keeping a diligent eye on the latnp ;.'s;s. the foreigner found himself at last walking down the cloistered aisles of Massachusetts avenue, where he began to Ick quesiioningly at the different lions fronts ho was passing and consult th card in his hand. Stop-pmc before a white exterior of or nato lines, framed by an Italian garden ho glanced up nt the slightly bowed shut tors and then, coming to a decision, step ped rapidly along the carriage drive and lifted the ponderous brass knocker. "Is Mrs. Waring at home'.'" he asked iu duo time of the functionary in livery win) opened the door, and, receiving an answer in tho nllirinative, followed a sec end footman into a great hall, whose shrouded chandeliers and vast uncovered expanse suggested that its hostess was only there on the wing tor other latitudes Following his guide up a wide, shallow siaircase, he stopped before a curtained il.K.r, long enough to have the portiere drawn back and hear his name unuounc ed in mutlled tones. I'e'l'ore him was unmitigated dimness at lirst. out of which presently a eireh of black dots resolved themselves, stir rounding a white object all of this de veloping on nearer view into Gussie War ing, a seraplncally mundane figure in crepe do chine, behind her tea table, with half a dozen men around her. "I hoped you would come in," she said, holding out a hand of welcome to the newcomer. Then, turning gayly to her little court, "This is the Prince del Pino, arrived yesterday in America the very latest thing out, you see. We must make the most of him, my friends, for he's only here for a few days Motioning the honored guest to a chair beside her, she introduced him in hr characteristic, off-hand fashion to the men about him, and resumed her tete-a tete with the stodgy-looking Senator on her other side. The rest of the room looked at the Prince del Pino. "What does Y'our Highness think of our little village.' asked a stout man savoring unmistakably of the far West "Plenty of room to turn about in, eh?" 1 he supposed nobleman smiled gra ciously "To turn around in?" he ejaculated, In his precise English. "After the maelstrom of your New Y'ork, Washington seems to me a blessed retreat in truth a rest cure. But it is charming this place ! Everywhere fine houses, wide boulevards. well-dressed men, and as for your far famed American woman but (he made a bow toward the figure behind the tea table) I made her acquaintance five days ago. you see !" Conscious that he was acquitting him self well, he broke oil, little realizing the ordeal Fate had in store for him! "Prince." Gussie had deserted the Senator and was smiling over her shoul der with covert mischief in her half-clos ed eyes. "You will have to prove an alibi We have nil been reading about you in the morning Post." She bent torward with the paper in her hand. ree, lour Highness: Over there on that column to your right. Adjusting his monocle, the man she ad dressed glanced over the sheet with an air of polite interest. "What can it be';" he exclaimed, even as he realized with instinctive certainty what he should find. "Ah! This sounds alarming!" And. with apparent amazement, he read aloud: "Special from the Liverpool Daily Transcript : "It has just transpired that a certain patient who is occupying a private room in the Queen's Hospital here is no less a person than the Prince Uoderigo del Pino, whose anticipated trip to America was interrupted by the attack of measles from wdiieh be is just recovering. It is hoped that the distinguished invalid will soon be able to carry out his first plans." So this was the end of the scarlet fever scare and Aleeste's well-guarded secret. In spite of his precautions, the truth was out! Something had gone wrong. Some one had blundered. Pulling himself together with a decided effort, the chauffeur looked up to find seven pairs of eyes confronting him with varying degrees of interest and curiosity. It was a difficult situation to carry off. appealing irresistibly to the adventurer's love of risk, to the actor's instinct for a dramatic climax. "This is an equivocal position in which I find myself! How am I to prove an alibi?" he ejaculated solemnly. "That is your afTair!" Throwing his head back, he faced them squarely, daringly, his thin lips twitch ing. "Yes." he pursued gravely, "this is the issue eiiln-r this report is false or," his eyes twinkled irresistibly, "I am my self. My friends, put it to the vote at once! I am in a sia'e of intolerable sus pense and exceeding agitation till I hear your verdict." It was an audacious move, but chnuTeiir knew what he was about. In counting the cost, he had not reckoned without his hostess. "Here's my hand!" she said, raising it in gay. swift response to bis whim. "I j.ut my money u the prince without hesi tation. II about you, gentlemen? nu in. mber, lie's at jour mercy." A burst of laughter answered her as every hand went up. the prodigious clap ping sealing the verdict. The lien k prince bad scored another victory, inde.-d a conquent. "A tl.onsiiiid thanks for your gratify ing cii!i'i--ii'-i'," he said, laughingly glanc ing at his new adherents. "Now for t he explanation: A it happens, the "certain patient in a private rotn of the fjueen's hoapitjJ' ia no lesj a person Vika my vnler. I had to leave the man bftilnd at the last moment with a case of measles---the reporters did the rest! I lesoech you. do not be afraid of mo!" He spread out his hands iu comic deprecation. "I have had that dangerous disease myself years ago, 1 assure you ! I do not want to be avoided in the least." And for the next half-hour he was most certainly not avoided, being undoubtedly the lion of the occasion, the chief center of attraction; and at the end of that time such is the magic influence of that trio of forces, a ready tongue, a ready smile, ami an attractive personality there was not a man in the large, dimly lighted room who would not have boon willing to swear that I ol Pino was not only a capital good fellow but a born aristocrat with every sign of his birth and breeding ! A little while after he had been borne off by two attaches in the direction of the embassies, a lithe, middle-aged man was admitted at the front door, left his hat in the hall, with a glance at the stacks of cards arranged in circular rows on the table, and, hurrying upstairs, pushed his wav past the footman, entering the drawing room unannounced. At sight of him there wns a .general turning of heads and a cry of "Soura vieff! You here!" "Why, M. le Comte," Gussie looked around. "This is a surprise! We thought you were in Newport !" Count Souravieff bowed over her hand. "I am only here for the day," he said. "I must return to Newport to-night in fact, I am due there this very minute (this impressively). Y'ou are responsi ble for my not keeping my appointment. Ah !" be settled down in the chair beside Mrs. Waring and dropped his voice to a confidential pitch. "The Fates have been working against me of late. I hnd in tended to be on the docks to greet you on your arrival yesterday, but, alas! your miserable steamship companies over turned my cart of apples!" He waved his white hands. "Concevez done, when I reached there with my permit, you had gone. Even my friend Hoi Pino had de parted. There was no one to speak to me but bis chauffeur." "What !" exclaimed Gussie at this junc ture. She stared at him with suddenly awakened interest. "Who did you say wns the only person to be seen?" Souravieff disliked interruptions ex cessively. Checked in the full flow of his eloquence, he raised his eyebrows as well as his voice, and explained to Gussie in a tone of mild reproof. "The man whom I met, madatne, was the chauffeur of my friend Del Pino." Then, conscious that he had the undi vided attention of the room, he went on with restored equanimity: "Eh bien ! from the fellow I acquired the informa tion that his master would be at the Club I'nion at the hour of four, so to that abominable place I repaired, in order to find out if Del Iino knew of your where abouts." Iiut at this point in his narrative there was another unaccountable interruption. "Excuse me," Gussie said, in a curious ly strained voice; "what was the name of the man who directed you to the club? The Prince del Pino, as far as I know, hasn't any chauffeur." Souravieff eyed her with rising dis pleasure. Never having heard of the Waring robbery, he considered this sec ond interruption on the part of his host ess absolutely Inane and in conspicuously lmd taste. "Pardon, niadame," he said formally ; "but the prince has a chauffeur a man named Ludovic Sarto, who managed his motor while we were in the Tyrol." There- was a pause, while everyone in the room hxiked wonderingly at the pair by the tea table, one of whom was lean ing forward, her eyes unnaturally bright and dilated, her manner more and more excited. "You saw Ludovic Sarto !" she ejacu lated at length. "I really can't believe it !" Count Souravieff now began to think that Gussie Waring was going out of her mind. "Well !"' lie said, laughing in a con strained way and glancing around for sympathy, "I can only state that I met the Prince's chauffeur or his double coming out of the steamship docks yes terday morning. Heboid my deposition, niadame !" There was another pause. "Then the prince was right !" remarked Gussie slowly. Her face had grown curiously pale and she shivered a little. "Yes," she repented, as if to herself. "He was right! Oh, think of it!"' this with a half-frightened gas -"that man must have been on board with us all the time ! (To be continued.) Too Sti-nily. The irate old farmer entered the employment office. "You sent me out a batch of farm hands, didn't you? he blustered. "Yes, sir." replied the clerk meekly. "And when I asked you if they were swift workers you said they were reg ular engines ?" "I think so." "Wal. by beck, they must be station ary engines men. "Why so?" "Because when they once get out on the barn fence thov don't move until they hear the dinner burn. A Ilrllltiiitl !!. "Speaking of the money question," remarked Greening, "what this country weds Is an elastic currency." "Then." rejoined his wife, proud of her ability to sec through a stone wall with a hole in it, "why doesn't the gov- rimient print banknotes on sheet rub ber?" '1 1 me lo Hack.

Cut deep enough Into the wood so as not to in jure the bud, and cut it so as not to l.ave too much wood under the bud. Then place the bud, c, on the end of f he knife and push down into the slit, as above described. Push securely In place, so that the bud is about 1 Inch below the upper cut. Then wrap care fully with yarn, as at d. Iu two or three weeks examine and see If the bud bus grown fast and so that the yarn Is not injuring it. Should the yarn be loose, retie. The bud should start to grow the following spring. Success largely depends upon wheth er the stock is growing vigorously or vheth'er the bud Is healthy. The bud serves the same purpose as the scion in grafting. From it springs a limb which will produce the kind of fruit borne by the tree from which the bud was taken. W. II. Underwood, in Farm and Home. Protect the Bird. The farmer is liable to forget his bird friends. I wish to tell some of my farmer friends what I have done this spring, in regard to our quails. When our assessor came around I gave In some quails, as well as do mestic fowls for taxation, as I knew about how many we had on our fatm when winter was over. Some will siy that you could not tell how many birds you have, because they will be en your farm one day, and on yo:ir neighbor's the next. While that is true, do not our domestic fowls go over on our neighbor's place, also, ii you give them opportunity to do so? Which most people do that 1 know of. Put do they not come back home every evening to roost it is the same with the quail, and he will roost on the farm where he was bred and hatched, providing he is unmolest ed by hunters, hawks, etc. If you were to chase your domestic fowls with dog and gun one-tenth ns much as you do the poor little quail. In the fall of the year, do you think that there would be many chickens on the roost In your chicken house at night? The writer has known coveys that after being chased and shot at all day, would be whistling the call just at dusk, and after getting back to gether would fly to roost. I lliink that anything that Is ns valuable as the quail ami stays with you through such circumstances, should be protected better than most of our farmers are doing. J. II. T., In the Indiana Farmer. riettliiK a Stnrt with Sherp. When the farmers in the corn and grass states reach the point where they have their fields all fomvd hog tight, they should not delay for any consider able length of tlmo getting a start in sheep, says Wallace's Farmer. It Is not necessary to have a largo flock. It Is n good deal better not to have It for two or three reasons: One Is that sheep do not do well with bogs and cattle. This Is the reason why so few sheep are kept In the Img and cattle country. Another reason Is that those who have had no exiterience In sheep would do well to advance slowly, and. If m-ed Ite retreat rapidly. Twenty-five ewes and a good buck are ns many us the Inex perienced farmer should start with. The exiM-nsp of these Is comparatively small, the possible loss therefore not ereat In case the man should prove not to be n fit man to handle sheep. There are some men of this kind. The chances of loss, however, are very small where the farmer has any kind of sheep gumption bout him. S il fid STEPS IX The Illnek Itnupberrr The black raspberry has Its poeullnvl tles, and among them Is that of tho annual travel to new soil by means of the Hps. Stocks from the hill are com paratively worthless for new planta tions; and growers of valuable varieties must obtain their plants from the tips of the present year's growth. The first part of July, If it has not been attend ed to sooner, wlnyi the growing canes have reached the height of 4 feet, nip out the point with thumb and finger, and soon branches will come out along the cane, increasing the number to take root, and adding to tho productiveness of the plant the next season. Leave the bearing cane in Its place until fall. Later, when It Is time for tlu tips to attach themselves to the soil, the root ing can be facilitated by a slight cov ering of dirt. In preparing for the crop in spring head in the branches to two or three feet, according to their strength. Tt'NtliiK the Health of an Animal. The pulse of a horse when at rest beats forty times per minute; of an ox from fifty to ilfty-five; of a sheep and a pig about seventy to eighty. The pulse may be felt wherever a big artery crosses a bone. It Is gener ally examined in the horse on the cord which passes over the bone of the lower jaw in front of Its curved position, or In the bony ridge above the eye; and in cattle over the middle of the first rib; in sheep by placing the hand on the left side, where the beating of the heart may be felt. Any material variations of the pulse from the figures given above may be considered as a sign of disease. If rapid, hard and full It Is an indica tion of high fever or intlamnr.it ion ; if rapid, small and weak, low fever, loss of blood or weakness. If slow the pos sibilities point to brain disease, and If Irregular to heart troubles. Son- Fall Wheat Early. In the great corn belt of the Middle West most fanners are afraid their wheat will make too much top in the fall and sow very late In order to avoid the Hessian fly. As a rule, however, it is better to sow early enough to get eight or ten Inches growth. Harrow the seed tied frequently, making a tine dust mulch, which will conserve moist ure and cause regular germination. Wheat put In this way makes a strong er growtli In the spring and matures at least a week earlier. If early and late seeded wheat come through the winter without Injury the early wheat will al ways outyleld the other, although It may nave a tendency to lodge, w aten your own wheat next spring and see how It comes out and then sow next fall at a time to make It better the fol lowing year. Curtain Front Poaltry House. The style of curtain front house shown Is of the shanty roof type, 8 feet Inches high at the front and 4 feet 0 inches at the rear. The width of this Cl'RTAIX FRONT POULTRY IIOCSE. oi any or tne nouses may he varied to suit the builder. The front of this house consists of a curtain on a frame hinged in such a way that it may be swung to the roof to allow the sunshine to enter. The plans of the curtain front houses lend themselves to the construction of an enclosed house by using lumber instead of cotton. The roosts,' nest boxes, drop boards and in fact all interior fixtures, should be constructed and put up in such a INTERIOR FIXTURES. way that they may be easily removed for cleaning and disinfection. The dia gram Illustrates how they may be ar ranged with advantage in any house. The roosts should rest In sockets, and the drop boards should not be nailed in place, but simply rest on the cleats at the ends. In (en Kite FnrmliiK.
