"I will give all my life to make you happy." "I am a soldier's daughter, and I can be a soldier's wife. I have tried hard to give you up. Paul, but I couldn't You are love's soldier, and It Is a a relief to surrender and have It over with." They fell to discussing plans for the future. It all went smoothly and airily until he asked her when he should go to Washington to claim her as his wife. She gave him a startled, puzzled look. To Washln'ton?" she murmured, turning very cold and weak. "You you won't have to go to Washln'ton, dear. 111 stay here." ' "My dear Beverly, I can afford the trip," he laughed. "I am not an abso lute pauper. Besides, it is right and Just that your father should give you to me. It Is the custom of our land." She was nervous and uncertain. "But but, Paul, there are many things to think of." she faltered. "You mean that your father would not consent?" "Well he he might be unreasona ble," she stammered. "And then there are my brothers, Keith and Dan. They are foolishly Interested In me. Dan thinks no one Is good enough for me. So does Keith. And father, too, for that matter and mother. You see, It's not Just as if you were a grand and wealthy nobleman. They may not un derstand. We are southerners, you know. Some of them have peculiar Ideas about" "Don't distress yourself so much, dearest," he Bald, with a laugh. "Though I see your position clearly and It Is not an enviable one." "We can go to Washln'ton just as soon as we are married," she compro mised. "Father has a great deal of in fluence over there. With his help be hind you you will soon be a power in the United" But bis hearty laugh checked her eager plotting. "It's noth ing to laugh at, Paul," she said. "I beg your pardon a thousand times. I was thinking of the disappointment I must give you now. I cannot live in the United States never. My home Is here. I am not born for the strife of your land. They have soldiers enough and better than I. It Is In the turbu lent east that we shall live you and I." Tears came into her eyes. "Am I not to to go back to Wash ln'ton r She tried to smile. "When Prince Dantan says we may, perhaps." "Oh, he la my friend," she cried in great relief. "I can get any (avor I ask of him. Oh, Paul, Paul, I know that my folks will think I'm an awful fool, but I can't help It. I shall let you know that I intend to be a blissfuf one, at least" He kissed her time and again out there In the dark, soft light of the fairy grotto. "Before we can be married, dearest I have a journey of some importance to take," he announced as they arose to leave the bower behind. "A Journey? Where?" "To Vienna. I have an account to Bettle with n mau who has just taken up his residence there." His hand went to his sword hilt, and his dark eyes gleamed with the flh she loved. "Count Mnrlanx and I hiive postponed business to attend to. dearest. Have no fear for me.

Their attendants and servants carried lusnaee T bearing tl;e princely crest of Daws Immwii and meant for Prince Dantan and his sister Camlace. In the part of the castle set apart for the visitors an Important consultation was held be hind closed doors. There Dantan met his countrymen and permitted them to renew the pledge of fealty that had been shattered by the overpowering Influence of iils mad half brother. What took place at this secret meet Ing the outside world never knew, Only the happy result was made known. Prince Dantan was to resume his reign over Dawsbergen as If It never had been Interrupted. The castle, brilliant from bottom to top, filled with music and laughter. experienced a riot of happiness such as It had not known in years. The war clouds had lifted, the sunshine ol contentment was breaking through the darkness, and there was rejoicing la the hearts of ail. Bright and glorious were the colors that made up the har mony of peace. Men and women of high degree came to the historic old walls garbed In the riches of royalty and nobility. To Beverly Calhoun it was the most enchanting sight she had ever looked upon. From the galleries she gazed down into the halls glitter ing with the wealth of Graustark and was conscious of a strange feeling of glorification. She felt that she had a part in this Jubilee. With Candace she descended the grand staircase and mingled with the resplendent crowd. She was the center of attraction, pressed in a simple, close fitting gown of black velvet without an ornament her white arms and shoulders gleaming In the soft light from the chandeliers, she was an enticing creature to be ad mired by men and women alike. Two stalwart Americans felt their hearts bound with pride as tbey saw the con quest their countrywoman was mak ing. Candace, her constant companion la these days, was consumed with do v. m i GRAUSTARK 3 (S3 Dodd, Mead It Co. light. "You are the prettiest thing In nil this world." she ecstatically whispered into Beverly's ear. "My brother says so, too," she added conclusively. Bev erly was too true a woman not to revel in this subtle flattery. The great banquet hall was to be thrown open at midnight. There were dancing and song during the hours leading up to this important event Beverly was entranced. She had seen brilliant affairs at home, but none of them compared to this in regal splen dor. It was the sensuous, overpower ing splendor of the east. Prince Dantan Joined the throng just before midnight. He made his way di rect to the little circle of which Bev erly and Candace formed the center. His rich, full military costume gave him a new distinction that quite over came Beverly. They fell into an ani mated conversation, exchanging shafts of wit that greatly amused those who could understand the language. "You must remember." Beverly said In reply to one of Havone's sallies, "that Americans are not In the least awed by Europe's greatness. It has come to the pnss when we call Europe our playground. We now go to Eu rope as we go to the circus or the cjunty fair at home. It Isn't much more trouble, you know, and we must s?e the sights." "Alas, poor Europe!" he laughed. As be strolled about with her and Can dace he pointed out certain men to her, asking her to tax her memory in the effort to recall their faces if not their apparel She readily recognized In the lean, tired faces the men she had met first at the Inn of the Hawk and Ra Tn. "They were vagabonds then, Miss Calhoun. Now they are noblemen. Does the transition startle you?" "Isn't Baldos among them ?" she ask ed, voicing the query that had been uppermost In her mind since the mo ment when she looked down from the galleries and failed to see him. She was wondering how he would appear in court costume. "You forget that Baldos Is only a guard," he said kindly. "He Is a courtier nevertheless," she retorted. She was vaguely disappointed be cause he was missing from the scene of splendor. It proved to her that caste overcame all else In the rock ribbed east The common man, no matter how valiant had no place in such affairs as these. Her pride was suffering. She was as a queen among the noblest of the realm. As the wife of Baldos 6he would live In another world on the outskirts of this one of splendor and arrogance. A stubborn, defiant little frown appeared on her brow as she pictured herself In her mind's eye standing afar off with "the man" Baldos, looking at the opulence she could not reach. Her Impetuous, rebellious little heart was thumping bitterly as she considered this single phase of the life to come. She was ready to cry out against the Injustice of it all. The little frown was por tentous of deep Jald designs. She would break down this cruel barrier that kept Baldos from the li.-lds over which prejudice alone held sway, ner love for him and her determination to be his wife were not In the least dulled by these reflections. The doors to the great banquet hall were thrown open at last, and In the disorder that followed she . wondered who was to lead her to the feasting. The Duke of Mizrox claimed the Prin cess Candace. "I am to have the honor," said some one at her side, and the voice was the one she least expected to hoar utter the words. The speaker was the man who deserved the place beside Yetive, Prince Dantan himself. Bewildered, her heart palpitating with various emotions, she took his arm and allowed herself to be drawn wouaermgiy through the massive doors. As they entered, followed by the brilliant company, the superb or chestra that Beverly ha.l so often cn- Jojed began to piny the stirring "Hands Across the Sea." The musi cians themselves seemed to have caught the universal feeling of Joy and mirth that was in the air and played as if inspired, their leader bowing low fo the young American girl as she passed. It was his affectionate tribute to her. Prince Dantan, to her amaze- ifent, led her up the entire length of fee banquet hall to the head of the royal table, gorgeous with the plate of a hundred Graustark rulers, placing her on bis left and next to the slightly raised royal chairs. Candace was on his right, the picture of happiness. Beverly felt diezy, weak. She looked helplessly at Prince Dantan. His smlls was puzzling. As if in a daze she saw Grenfall Lorry with the Countess Yvonne standing exactly opposite to her, he, with the others, awaiting the appearance of the princess and the one who was to sit beside her. The music ceased, there was a hush over the room, and then Yetive came forward, magnificent In her royal robes, smiling and happy. A tall man In the uniform of an exalted army offi cer stood beside her, gold braid and be Jeweled things across his breast Bev erly turned deathly white, her figure Stiffened and then relaxed. It was Baldos! She never knew how she dropped in to the chair the servant held for her. She only knew that his dark eyes were mlling at her with love and mischief In their depths. There was a vague, uncertain sound of chattering; some one was talking eagerly to her, but she heard him not There was a standing toast to the Prince of Dawsbergen. Then the audacious ghost of Baldos (TO BE CONTINUED.) SOAKING STOCK FOOD. Some Hints For Breeder by Professor Thomas Shaw. Food is seldom soaked for horses. In the true sense of soaking it is proba bly never thus prepared. But when horses are worked hard it has in many Instances been found profitable to chaff the hay and grind the grain and to mix a the grain with a snfilcleucy of cut hay which has been moistened with water. When horses are on short allowance for time to eat they can take more food In a given time thus prepared'than if given in the ordinary way. Bran is also fed to them occasionally as a mash that is, water is poured on It, frequently hot, and the mass is stir red so that it all bivomes moist Thus prepared the bran can be more readily eaten by horses, and the influence on the digestive tract Is also probably more helpful because of the moisture than If the mass had been fel dry. Food is seldom soaked for cattle. The chief exception Is corn. It Is not soak ed when thus prepared for them In or der to make it more digestible, blit be cause of certain exigencies, that arise relating to the feeding. When corn gets very dry, especially on the cob. and Is fed to cattle for a loug term of feeding It Is liable to produce soreness j of the mouth. When this result fol lows they are chary about consuming It and do not eat enough to produce the gains that are sought. Experi ments have shown that corn soaked for swine does not produce more gains than when fed dry. Cattle not only moisten food well while masticating, but the fluids are abundant with which it comes in contact in rumination and also In the various processes of diges tion. Sheep do not require soaked food. In fact, It would be more or less distaste ful to them. They have an almost marvelous power of masticating food, so that it can be completely digested. Nearly nil If not indeed all the small Cereals are greatly Improved for swine by soaking them. In some Instances, when the weather will admit of It, they may be soaked for at least three days. Usually, however, they are fur ther Improved by grinding and also by soaking subsequently. When thus pre pared they are more readily consumed, somewhat more easily digested and will be consumed in larger quantities. It Is v admissible In the winter to feed whole grain other than com to swine well advanced in growth and to brood sows when scattered on a hard and clean feeding place. If fed in a trough it will be consumed so quickly that much of It will escape digestion. Professor Thomas Shaw. Fertilizing Value of Food. In fattening cattle the value of the manure is usually set off against the cost of labor. The fertilizing value o. a ton of clover hay at present prices for nitrogen, phosphoric acid and pot ash is estimated at' above $7. With the grains fed the fertilizing value varies, but it is highest with those that are more nitrogenous. Of the fertilizer Ingredients consumed in the feed over 90 per cent is distributed up on the land in the manure. Frofessor D. W. May, Kentucky Experiment Sta tion. SECRET OF GOOD STOCK. Hi Fcncy Methods of Feeding ind Handling Necessary. Interviews with several of the men who finished prize winning steers In the car lot classes at the late interna tional do not reveal any fancy methods of feeding or handling their cattle. All of them started with good beef blood, which Is of course the first requisite of a good beef animal. This good blood was not In the form of a $3,000 bull either, for these men are not breeders of pure bred cattle. It was in the form of successive crosses of good bulls such as any man can buy at a reasonable price today, and these suc cessive crosses were of the same breed. No mixing of breeds to get a little more of this or a little less of that, but breeding straight forward toward bet ter cattle. After good blood came blue grass, hay, corn, oats and at the finish some oilmeal. All of these except the oil meal the feeders raised on their farms, but they fed enough. There may be some feeders of cattle who are giving their stock wasteful quantities of feed, but we are not acquainted with them. There nre many who really waste feed because at some time or other in the animal's life they do not feed enough. economy or proauctton as well as quality of product demands that all classes of meat animals have enough. And, further, these cattle were un der the eyes of their masters. They were not neglected, chased or excited In any way. They had no fancy barns, but ran to sheds, as a rule, just as all steers should. No doubt it would be a losing proposition for the average feed er to attempt to make his beeves as ripe as those which win prizes at great shows.- He finds It more eco nomical to sell when they are fat enough for the market's requirements. But the shoR- feeder's methods are only those of the up to date commer cial cattle producer good blood, care ful handling and feed enough to keep them going forward all the time, says the National Stockman and Farmer. Rheumatism In Hogs. At this season of the year, when the weather changes are frequent extra precautions In the hogpen will jay. Avoid damp bedding and, above all things, shut off the cold, damp winds. Hogs that are well kept are especially susceptible to rheumatism. Now, don't go and turn your hogs outJn the cold In order to make them hardy, so they will be able to ward off the disease. It will be more profitable for you to give them reasonable protection. On the other hand, do not think it neces sary to have a frost proof, air tight hog house. There Is reason in . all things, especially In caring for hogs. Wkcr She Come I&.
