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

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

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,

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

The rest of the room looked at the

"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.

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

"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

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

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

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

It Is sometimes desirable to bud or

Tho work of budding can be done by
!a fdiui'p, round-pointed knife and a
piece of yarn. Usually the best results
follow by selecting a place where the

and under It. Start about 1 Inch be
low the bud and come out again 1 inch
above the bud, as at b. 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

below the upper cut. Then wrap care

three weeks examine and see If the bud

Is not injuring it. Should the yarn
be loose, retie. The bud should start
to grow the following spring.
Success largely depends upon wheth

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.

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.

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

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

dust mulch, which will conserve moist
