it, If 11, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)
Seventy-year-old Mrs. Gerald Trav
ers certainly had no expansive repu
tation for liberality, but when Tom '
Travers, her long-departed husband's
nephew, found himself at the end of
lils meager resources the autumn of
Ids last winter in law school, he did
not let any lack of favorable reputa
tion In this regard stand in his way.
She had no end of money this his
old sister had told him and after all
he was not going to ask charity.
So he had put false pride In his
pocket and had gone to call on his
aunt by marriage though, of course,
he never dreamed of calling her any
thing but "Mrs. Travers." He wanted
to arrange to live in the garret or
somewhere in the old house so as to
help pay expenses that last season in
law school. In return he would prom
ise never to make himself more ap
parent than she wished, and would be
glad to take on any household tasks
tending furnace, shoveling snow, even
scrubbing kitchen floors, if she wished.
Mrs. Travers had not been unkind,
but she proudly said that no Trav
ers need stoop to menial labor. "You
come here at once, and occupy one of
the small rooms on the fourth floor,"
she had ordered. "You'll have meals
here, too, though not with me. You
can have them when you like In the
breakfast room I never use. I'll find
enough for you to do to square our
score "
"But I don't want to accept char
ity " Tom protested, and then old
Mrs. Travers had laughed, not alto
gether pleasantly, as Tom recalled
later.
"You'll earn your board and keep,
never fear," she said. "I'm not In
the habit of being imposed on."
Tom soon found that it was true
that he really was earning his way.
Every evening he reported to his rela
tive for orders and the tasks she as
signed him were always well planned
out before his coming. They did not
take so much time but they would
have tared the resources of any one
less persistent than Tom Travers.
One day she wanted to Invest $10,
000 that had Just come to her In a
matured bond. Tom was given orderB
to look up the best possible way for
her to reinvest that money. The next
day her pet dog needed to visit the
veterinary surgeon's ; would Tom take
him In the morning and see that he
was well treated? Another day a
friend landed from Europe, might
have a little difficulty with the cus
toms ; Tom was to do the meeting and
the smoothing. Then once, when the
dressmaker was coming, there were
countless samples of ribbons and silks
to be matched but Tom didn't even
ballc at that, nor on that other occa
sion when Mrs. Travers asked him to
go to the milliner's with her "to see
that the fool saleswoman didn't try to
give her anything unbecomingly youth
ful." So Tom paid his way.
One day toward spring Mrs. Trav
ers handed him $1500 In bank notes.
"There's a fair for the Day Nursery
this afternoon. I detest such things.
I'd send the amount in a check only
I don't want to give any one of the
women managing the affair the satis
faction of bringing In all that money
at once. But I would like to help the
good cause along a little. Now your
Job today will be to go to that fair
and spend this money a little here
and a little there without letting any
one know I'm responsible."
At first this did not seem like such
a herculean task at least not so bad
as the trip to the milliner's or some
other of his recent errands. But Tom
Travers had never attended a fair be
fore. He had the money changed Into
five and ten-dollar bills and carried
a fat wallet In an Inside pocket to his
afternoon lectures so that he could
stop at the fair In mid-afternoon.
First he went the rounds system
atically. He bought a five-dollar doll
at the doll table and left twenty dol
lars without taking any change. Then
he passed on to the fancy table, where
he acquired something all covered
with embroidery and lace, the purpose
nf which he did not know, and left
twenty dollars for that, though it was
priced but ten. At the candy table
he left five dollars for a pound of
adamantine fudge, left twenty dollars
for a single rose nt the flower table
and had little difficulty In getting the
young girl at the grab bag to accept
a ten-dollar bill instead of ten cents
for his chance.
But Tom so far had spent only $73.
He had $423 still to dispose of and be
found that he had already attracted
considerable attention. He took a
seat in the tea room, hoping here to
lerive inspiration for the rapid spend
ing of the rest of his money.
Tom was Interrupted in his reverie
by the appearance of a very pretty
young woman clad In what was in
tended to represent the costume of a
Hutch peasant It wasn't at all au
thentic, but it was very becoming. The
girl was Susan Dodge of the old,
aristocratic, Immensely rich Dodge
family.
She had rotne to ask for Tom's
order. "Smile your sweetest," some
one had whispered, "and maybe he'll
leave you a ten-dollar bill. He's
shabby enough, but seems to be a
millionaire In disguise."
"I don't think he's shabby," Susan
had answered. "The most aristocratic
people often dress the most incon
spicuously." Susan smiled her sweetest when
she took his order and Tom drank the
tea and wafers she brought as If they
had been nectar, because of the sec
ond even sweeter smile with which
they were served.
When she returned with the check,
on which wus written twenty-five
cents, Tom cautiously took his wallet
from his pocket, glanced at it as he
held It under his coat and then count
ed out $250.
"I don't want any change," he said
with considerable embarrassment.
"And please don't say anything. You
see "
Susan had sat down beside Tom, be
cause from her sheer surprise she
really felt unable to stand. Then she
noticed that his suit really was shab
by, and that there were mended places
on his shoes. Perhaps he was unbal
ancedyet as she looked into his
clear, straight-browed eyes she knew
this conjecture was wrong.
So Susan took the money with a
little gasp of surprise and promised
to say nothing about the amount un
til after he had left.
"I still want to spend $175," Tom
said. "What shall I do with Itr
"Oh, there's a crazy quilt that poor
Mrs. Hawkins made over at the do
mestic table. Nobody In the world
will buy It, and she'll be disappointed.
It's marked $50, I think."
Tom handed Susan the balance of
his roll of bills.
"While I sit here, would you go and
get that quilt and leave this money
for It? But don't say anything."
Susan kept her promise she did
not advertise Tom's generosity until
after his departure. Then she told
somebody, who told somebody else,
and then was noised abroad the fame
of the fairy prince. By those who had
seen him It was agreed that he was
one of the best looking of men, that
tils manners were perfect and that It
was perfectly obvious that he was a
man of great fortune.
Gradually thereafter Tom found
himself a much-sought-after young
man. Dowagers who recogulzed him
as the mysterious young philanthropist
bowed to him as they passed and on
two or three occasions he was hailed
and Invited to take a place In the
limousine of one of those dowagers,
who expressed her surprise at seeing
htm on foot. It was Mrs. Fellows
Mrs. Daniel Fellows of well-known
social prestige who beamed upon
Tom and asked him to call and the
call led to a dinner Invitation. Tom
did not wish to explain his own pov
erty because he was bound by his
word not to let It be known that his
aunt had really been so liberal to the
Day Nursery. Besides, he ruther en
Joyed playing the role of a young and
eccentric millionaire, and all nn occa
sional fling In society would cost
would be the running expenses of his
evening clothes which he had already
acquired when he played In the col
lege glee club. Then this was an op
portunity of seeing Susan, for Mrs.
Fellows explained that she would be
one of her dinner guests. By way of
giving a meager explanation of him
self Tom said he was studying law.
Yes, he belonged to the same family
as Mrs. Gerald Travers. He did not
explain that he bvlonged to an en
tirely Impecunious branch of the fam
ily, and that with his aunt's fortune
already bequeathed to women's col
leges In the Orient, and with some
twenty cousins and some ten or a
dozen aunts and uncles to be consid
ered first, In case the will were bro
ken, he was quite without prospects.
Tom knew he should at least have
made his position clear to Susan, but
he didn't. And this made It awkward
a month or so later 'when Susan, con
fident In her own radiant beauty and
the admiration that was very appar
ent In Tom's eyes, told him In a round
about way that the reason why she
had decided never to marry was be
cause a certain young law student of
her acquaintance didn't seem to want
to make her his wife. Tom said noth
ing. There was nothing he possibly
could say. Not for 8e years would
he be in any position to support an
ordinary wife, and heaven knew when
he could support a girl like Susan.
That night when Tom arrived at
his aunt's house after one o'clock the
old woman was sitting up for him.
She ordered him to sit down beside
her and rated him soundly for his
late hours. And then she said:
"Tom, you have surprised me. I
thought you were an ordinary, self
effacing young man like the rest of
your tribe, "willing to grub along with
your law books, permitting poverty to
cramp you ana keep you back. But I
have noticed that you have been go
ing out much of late, and through a
private detective I have found out
where you have been going. You have
apparently been taken up socially by
really worth-while people. You are
clever enough to do a little social
climbing. I like that In you." Then
she dismissed Tom end told lilm not
to keep her up any longer. But as
he was leaving the room she called
him back and with much embarrass
ment told blm that she had decided
to make him her sole heir.
"I like you. I admire you. Marry
a rich wife if you like, but don't feel
that you have to. And you needn't
wait until I'm dead, either," she
laughed mirthlessly. "I've planned to
k-lve you $200,000 now. We'll make
arrangements In the morning "
And arrangements were made, and
very soon afterward other arrange
ments to Tom more Important. For
be hurried to the home of Susan and
offered hit heart and hand, and was
accepted even before he had had time
to discard the old patched shoes for
new.

Egg Waste for Jfouitry
Is Recommended by Ohio
Egg waste from Incubators Is rich
In protein and, after boiling and grind
ing, can be profitably fed to poultry by
mixing It with a dry mush to form a
slightly moistened, crumbly mixture.
In tests at the Ohio experiment sta
tion, Infertile and dead-germ eggs
were boiled for an hour, passed
through a sausage mill, dried, regrouud
and mixed In the dry mash us a fat
tening ration for young cockerels. The
average gains from this mixture were
0 per cent greater for the egg product
than for skim milk, supplying the same
amount of protein.
For feeding market broilers In
crates the following mixture proved
excellent: Ground corn 40 parts,
standard wheat middlings 20, and
moist egg product 40, with enough
water added to make a batter that
could be easily poured.
Like all moist mashes this mixture
should be led with great cure to avoid
overfeeding, as the egg material Is a
concentrated feed and Is greatly rel
ished by the birds.
Cholera Is Contagious
Among Chicken Flocks
Fowl cholera Is germ disease which
Is very fatal, says Harry Emblem,
head of the poultry department of the
Oklahoma college. A fowl showing no
symptoms of the trouble may be found
dead under the roast the next morning.
All affected birds do not go In this
way. Some may linger a few days,
showing a great thirst, due to fever,
also a loss of appetite. The bowels
will appear very loose, the bowel dis
charge being of a greenish-yellow
color.
This trouble Is contagious and can
be carried on the feet of fowls and
man. If this trouble Is apparent a
thorough cleaning up of the premises
should be mude, and the house thor
oughly cleaned and disinfected. The
ground around the house should be
plowed and cultivated. All affected
birds should be killed and burned.
Development of Chicks
Comes From Attention
Best development of young chicks
comes from close attention to the
brood coops, cleanliness, proper feed
and water, shade and free range. Keep
a good mash before them. Watch for
lice and mites. They multiply rapidly
during warm weather. Clean and
spray houses and coops.
The eggs of ducks retain their
hatchablllty for a shorter time than
the hen eggs. The fresher the eggs
are when Incubated, the better.
If your turkeys are wild, make
friends with them. It is cheaper and
easier to handle birds that trust the
caretaker.
Experimental work by the bureau of
animal Industry, United Stutea De
partment of Agriculture, shows that
good egg yields and economical results ,
can be secured with a wheatless ration
for chickens. J
Lice, overfeeding and filth kill two- j
thirds of all turkeys that die. The
other third die from too close confine
ment, accklent or Inherited weakness.
Let turkeys roost In the open air,
but In a high, dry place. If turkeys
roost near a swamp there Is almost
sure to be trouble from roup.
Young ducklings and goslings must
be kept from the dampness the same
as chicks. They grow fastest If kept
on soft mush feeds and only allowed
enough water to drink.
Reflection on Great Cities.

of pleasure and money, Idle curiosity,
iniquitous purpose, and wanton mirth
