He had some thing on hie mind, Bomethtu& ho had dreamed without hopo of Its realiza tion. He had long wished for Edlth'M love, the love of a woman, not a child, for a man.

Her ques tion waa accompanied by a reassuring smile. It brought him courage. I don't see how you can live here alone," he said, "and you have no rela tive to come and llvo with you. 1 was your fathers friend.

"Intrust met Did father doubt that I mlaht safely be Intrusted with any secret T" Not aa a woman, only aa an Irre sponsible child. I will tell you all.

Your father went to see him about the mat ter and there were high words between the two. The next morning the .miser waa found murdered." Bdltb leaned forward to catch every word, a look of dread on her face. "Tour father waa arrested charged with the murder. Nobody doubted that he waa guilty, and since a number of criminals had shortly before got off by the inefficiency of the law a number of men determined in this case to be the law themselves. I got wind of the move and, taking my gun, went to the jail to help the sheriff protect your father. Nearing tt. I aaw the men advancing to attack tt Taking posi tion behind a tree.

"I wanted to give myself up and take the consequences of the killing I bad done, but your father and vour mother dtosuaded me. They said tt waa perfectly legitimate and by It I had saved your father'a life, for It turned out that the sheriff waa unpre pared to defend him and waa ready to give him up to the men who bad brought with them the wherewithal toexecHte blm I euppoae this to true, but I think I would have felt better all these years If I had confeaaed."

THOS. SHAW.) There Is now In tho quarantine at 8outh Quebec the largest Importation ot milking Shorthorns over brought to America. Heretofore only a low Individuals of this class have over crossed tho Atlantic for this country. These cattle wcro purchased In Eng land by Mr. J. J. Hill, and will be brought to his North Oaks farm not far from St Paul. Mr. Hill Is a atrong believer In tho value ot the two purposo cow, that Is, tho cow for milk and also for beef, usually spoken ot now as tho dual purpose cow, and of cows of this class ho regards nono as superior to the milking Shorthorns, called In Britain tho dairy Shorthorn. He believes that this type of cow la one that Is admirably suited to the needs of tho nverago farmer, and in this ho Is unquestionably right not withstanding tho teaching of many In our experiment stations to the con trary. Many In those stations have taught that there won no place for the dual cow on the farm. They have said aho was "a myth; a delusion and a snare." They have claimed that to keep hor on the farm was llko "going to hunt prairie chickens with a bull pup," or like "riding Into battle on a heavy draught horse." Those men were hon est lu their statements, but they sim ply did not know. They thought they knew, but they were mistaken. More over, tbey claimed that dual cattle could not ho bred. For twonty-Uve years some of thosu men havo boon diligently, propagating that nonsense, and the public funds have borno the expense. The tolly ot such teaching will be apparent from the following: In Eng land there Is today an association for promoting the Interests ot this breed. This association haB now 185 mem bers. In 1912 It published the records ot milk production from 234 females, of which quite a percentage were heifers with their first lactation pe riod. Tho average of milk production from these was betwoon 7,000 and 8,000 pounds for tho year. Some went higher than 13,000 pounds. At Kel enscott Lechlade, Gloucestershire, tho owner, Robert Hobbs, has kept milk ing Shorthorns constantly since 1878. Tho herd how numbers nearly 200 cowa in milk. Since 1908 tho average of all thesn, Including a large let of heifers, In milk production has boen considerably more than 6,000 pounds each year. The cow Dulcle 7th, with a ono-year milk record ending May 81, llvlS, gave 13,533 pounds, and the cow Rnae 37th 14.277 pounds. Many other Instances ot similar production may be cited. Cows of this breed stand first In the milking trials of the shows more frequently than those ot any other breed, Including the milking breeds. While the production of milk is thus highly satisfactory, all the males not wanted for beet are grown Into bul locks. They are reared on skim milk and adjuncts during the milk period. Tbey are sold at the age of eighteen to thirty months. At twenty-four months they usually average not -less than 1,200 pounds, and aell for 810 to 125 each. They are favcrttea wRh the butcher, as there Is less loss to cutting up the carcass than with bul locks reared on the dams. There ia a larger proportion of lean and leaa un desirable fat on the hand reared steers. It Is a fact that fully 80 per cent ot the milk used in Britain comes from pure and grade Shorthorns and nearly as high a percentage of the meat Mr. Powell, the venerable secretary of the Shorthorn association, told the writer that even many of the breeders of Scotch Shorthorns are now milking their herds. Think of the prices which those cattle bring. At the dispersal sale of Oarrett Taylor last year 183 females of all ages sold for an average of 83. 16s, M. The people of Argentina. South Africa. New Zealand and Australia are now buying those cattle in large numbers, and yet tho wise men of our stations claim that they can't bo bred. Mr Hill's Shorthorn Importation consists of twenty-eight wlJj which three are males. The females are young cows from two to six years old. Tbey are all now milking and .ontn in due time.
