for the professor had stooped and was examining the carpet minutely. “ I thank you, I thank you.” “ Pray do not mention it. Cousin Rob ert, if you and the professor will excuse me, I will step across and take a last look at poor little Hermann. Where are his rooms?” Before I could answer, the professor was on his feet. "P ra y accept me as your guide." said he, moving towards the door. Graden bowed his thanks like a polite elephant. I followed the pair down the stairs. It was growing late, and the narrow streets of the students’ quarter were well nigh deserted. A moon, like a pol ished shield, hung over the old castle above us, picking out each turret at-d parapet in silver grey against the sleep- ing woods that swept upward to the sky-line. Across our path the gabled house cast broad, fantastic pools of shadow. A wind had risen with the moon, and sighed and quivered in the roofs and archways. Once, from a dis tant tavern, came the faint mutter of a rousing chorus, but soon It was swallowed and carried away by the midnight breezes. W e had not far to walk, and in five minutes the professor was tapping dis creetly with an ugly devil-face of a knocker on Von Stockmar's door. Pres ently the bolt was drawn, and Hans, the grey-bearded servant of the dead man, stood in the doorway, a lamp held high above his head. H e blinked upon us moodily, with eyes dimmed by old age and recent tears, till, catching sight of Graden’s huge bulk, he stepped forward with a snort of surprise, flashing the light in his face as he did so. “ Ah ! Goodness ! but it is Heinrich der Grosse'” he stammered. “ Ach! Herr Heinrich, but have you forgotten Hans of the Schlagers, servant of the honor able corps of the S^xo Borusen?” “ No, no, said Graden, staking thè veteran by tljf Jiand, “ So our little Her mann tajjt you for W l fervent, qs he promised i T h g is a sad dav for us’ both! old friend. Tell me, how dia it happen “ Do not ask me, Herr Heinrich, My mind wanders— I, who served him nigh on twenty years and was as a father and mother to him. The worthy fellow put down the lamp in the little hall into which he had led us, and mopped his eyes with a hand that trembled with emotion. But Graden persisted in his quiet way and soon extracted the details. It seemed that it was the custom of the dead pro fessor to take a nap after his midday meal. That afternoon, however, his sleep was unduly prolonged, and at four Hans, who knew he had an engagement about that hour, slipped in to wake him. His master was lying on the couch in his bedroom, where he was wont to take his siesta. But he was in a curious, hud dled position and breathing stertorously. Hans failed to rouse him, became alarmed, and hurried off for a neighbor ing doctor. That gentleman diagnosed the case as a sudden and severe chill which had settled on the lungs, causing violent inflammation. Everything possi ble was done, but by eight he was dead. Beyond the remarkable violence of ths seizure, the doctor had said, there was nothing In the symptoms. Overwork had doubtless undermined the constitution and rendered it vulnerable to a sudden attack. “ And while he was asleep— had he visitors?” asked Graden. “ The street door is never locked dur ing the day.” “ But would you not hare heard the steps?" “ It was my custom to sleep too. Herr professor allowed it.” "So. I should like to take a last look at your poor master, friend Hans. By the way, Cousin Robert, where is our guide, the learned Marnae? I did not see him leave the house." "Perhaps the Professor Marnae has al ready gone to my master's room, the second to the right on the first floor," suggested the old servant. (T o be continued.)

Guerler, the Illinois exp ert Start ing with a poor cow, one that produced 1M0 pounds o f butter a year, he reckons the food cost at $3!» and the labor at $12.50, while the butter is worth only $35, or less than the market value of the food consumed. The fancy butter cow produces 400 pounds o f butter per year, and on the same basis o f reck oning nets her owner interest on $400, besides paying for the food and labor. The price o f butter in both cases is reckoned at 20 cents. The fancy cow- consumed somewhat more food than the other, but the difference was mr,r,, than offset by the Increased amount of sklmmllk. According to Mr. Guerler. the fancy cow Is better worth $400 than the ordinary cow taken as a gift. Coat of M a k in g Batter. In a recent report published by the Iow a state dairy commissioner, the av erage cost o f producing one pound of butter Is given as follow s: In the creamery that makes 40,000 pounds o f butter a year, it costs 4 cents to make one pound o f butter, and in a creamery producing 50,000 pounds It costs 3.4 cents to make one pound; w h ile In creameries making 150.000 pounds per year It costs only 1.85 cents. In some o f the very large cen tra! plants, that are producing over 200,000 pounds o f butter per year, it costs 1.4 cents per pound. These fig. uree clearly show that the larger the creamery the cheaper butter can be manufactured, and they also show that It takes about 400 cows, tributary to one factory, before a profitable cream ery business can be established. 10!)fU-Kingdom of Jerusalem Godfrey de Bouillion king. formed- 1 1203— Full of Constantinople to the Vea- etlal crusaders. 1333— Edward I I I , defeated the Seoti «t battle of Hallidon Hill. 1553— Lady June Grey's nine days’ usur. pation ended. 1507— Mury, Queen of Scots, resigned her crown to her son, James VI. 102«— Quebec capitulated to the English; 130 years before its final conquest by Wolfe. 1030— John Oldham killed by Indians at Block Island. 1075— Narragansett Indians defeated by the Colonists. 1704— Gibraltar taken by the Dutch. 1” 04— Surrender of rhllllpsburg to th* French. 175«— English defeated French and In dians at battle of Niagara. 1700— British sloop Liberty scuttled and sunk by th» people of Newport. 1770—-American force defeated British at battle of 1‘aulus Hook. 1794— Vlcomte Alex de Beauharnals, first husband of Empress Josephine, guil lotined. 1707— Battle of the Pyramids In Egypt- 1803— Arthur Wolfe, Lord Kolwarden- murdered by the populace of Dublin. 1800— Fortress of Gaeta surrendered to- France.
