CHAPTER XII. Coutlnned.)
It was about miduight, and thj moon
la the east waa strong enough to show
all the path through the forest.
It waa at this time that the strange
and wonderful scene was occurring
front of the old mill, and during which
Nora Warner fell into the power of her
old-time foe, the man most hateful to
her on earth the mad-house doctor.
As he left the house the-Captain cast
several glances over his shoulder in or
der to make sure that he was not fol
lowed. The very fart of his doing this
would seem to indicate that he was
bound upon some errand that would not
bear inspection.
Once among the trees he made his way
rapidly to a poiut where the shadows lay
densest, and there upon the ground lay
the form of a man. silent and motion
less. It was the mysterious foreigner.
The Captain had proven too much for
even the keen detective, and his manner
of convincing the man-hunter of the mis
take he had made had been a forcible one.
' In the struggle, and before Captain
Giant had struck a favorable spot with
his knife, the detective, whom he held
under his knee, having knocked him flat
with a sudden and terrible blow, caught
two of the 6 often of his gloved hand be
tween his teeth, and almost bit them off
t a point below the end joint.
The murdered man lay just where he
had fallen, and realizing this, the Cap
tain vanished among the trees, returning
in less than ten minutes, leading a horse
already equipped, which ho had secreted
In the forest to have ready in case of an
emergency, for he was one ot those men
who always make sure of a way to re
treat before proceeding any depth into
their schemes.
Presently he was mounted upon ' the
horse with the body of the foreign de
tective in front of him. and held in such
a manner that it looked like a comrade
asleep, with his head hanging upon his
breast.
lie kept in the densest portion of the
forest, for he did not care to be seen by
any one, though the chances of such an
event at this hour would have been poor
enough even upon the public highway, for
the negroes were of too superstitious a
natnre to think of wandering about the
country when ghosts and goblins -were
supposed to be abroad.
Because of his taking such a round
about way, instead of going direct, he
was a much longer time in reaching the
old mill than Roger had been when carry-
inc Carol there, earlier in the night.
Strange how his mind should have also
tnrned to this quarter as a lace of hid
ing. Surely there must have been some
thing more than chance in it an.
When he found himself in the immedi- '
ate neighborhood of the haunted mill.
Captain Grant brought his horse to a sud
den halt, and placed his dead charge up
on the ground. Then, securing his horse,
he raised the limp form of the murdered
detective in his arms, and, by the exer
tion of tremendous strength, bore it on.
lie disappeared inside the old mill.
There was a large chimney at one side
of the mill, and. for some purpose or
other, a hole had been made in this, the
bricks lying upon the floor close by.
It required a herculean strength to
Taise the dead detective to this opening,
but as he was not a man of over a hun
dred and thirty pounds in weight, the
Captain succeeded in accomplishing it.
As he let go his hold he heard the body
. fall with a thump to the floor. Then all
was quiet.
lie made no change, not even touch
ing one of the bricks upon the floor, for
though it had at first been his intention
lo brick up the orifice in the chimney, up
on second thought he realized it was
wiser to leave things just as they were,
for fear of exciting suspicions.
As he tnrned to leave he either saw,
or fancied he did, the head of a man out
lined in oue of the wiudows against the
light background.
The idea gave him such a start that he
fell over a piece of old machinery that
i. matins uDon the floor. This was the
...ir, that had reached the ears of
Curol and the widow.
km oon as he could recover he fled
hastily from the mill, turning once to
look back, and then plunging in among
the trees like a hunted stag.
Hart there been a witness to the horrid
V.nrial? He shuddered at the thought,
but found it impossible to decide whether
it bad been real or a specter or ms mi
agination.
CHAPTER XIII.
Tt ws twilight.
The trees were moaning a requiem for
departed day. and the last tinge of red
un dvinif out of the western sky, when
Curol suddenly sat up Ktruiglit, and her
heart seemed to stand still as she hearj
hi.nvv footfalls otltxide.
An Interval of silence ensued, and then
there came a rap, loud and cleer, upon
iIib door of the haunted mill. Carol held
her breath.
(she could not Imagine anyone elite com
ing at that hour than Roger, ami such
had been the intensity ot uer rccen
thoughts and feelings toward him that it
retried to ber site co in a not. uared not,
meet him face to face, at least until she
had time to recover uer seir-nose!ion
Ko she remained back while her mother
went to the door.
To ber astonishment It was a stranze
Toice that fell upon her ear a voire that
wan full of eagerness ami trembling.
"I have to beg your pardon for this late
visit, madam, but I am looking for a
friend of mine, and her continue J ab
sence has worried me more than I can
tell you. Have you seen Nora Warner?"
Carol started, for she realized that this
person, whoever he might be, was about
to receive a shock. Evident! he was
quite unaware of the terrible fate that
had overtaken the poor girl, and that she
was by that time, If still alive, confined
-within tht walls of the mad bouse that
had before been her prison.
Her mother retained her self -possession,
though she knew full well tlicro
was a blow in store for this gentleman,
whoever he might be.
"Step In, sir. and be seated. Do nut
refiixe, for 1 have that to tell you that
will strike blow st four heart, per
haps, though I know not what relation
you bear to rtora Warner, sue iu.
"Do not keep me in suspense, madam.
Nora Warner was very dear to me. lu
heaven's name tell me what has happen
ed to the poor girl." be pleaded.
"You knew something of her former
history. I presume?" inquired the lady.
She had a double object in view, the
idea of finding out, what he knew and
whether the story of Nora Warner, as
told to Carol, were true.
"There is nothing of her past that I do
not know, madam, and If she has come
to grief I am well aware of the source.
Let a hair of her head be injured and
her villainous husbaud, Roger larrul,
must settle with me. Pelay no'louger.
I pray you, for every second is torture
to me."
There was something frank In the
young man's voice and way of speaking,
that went straight to the little may s
heart, and she knew that he was honest
and manly, hence she sympathised with
him in his sorrow.
"I see you are her friend, sir, and as
such I shall confide the facts to you. Nora
Warner has again fallen into tho hands
of those demons from whom she once
before escaped. The mad-house doctor
has been here."
"Is it possible?"
There was a crittine of the strong
teeth, and even In the candle light she
could see that the man's face paled with
the , comprehensive, knowledge of what
this meant.
She then went on to tell all that had
occurred, and he heard the news with
the aspect of a man who suffered aud
yet made no sound.
"Curses on his headT he muttered,
fiercely, when she was done, "he is the
worst demon on earth, and the time will
come when retribution will fall upon him,
and it shall be my hand that deals the
blow. If he has dared to harm a hair
of her head I shall torture the lite out ot
him."
When he became calm he made Inquir
ies, for it seemed that Nora had only told
him the circumstances ot her past with
out certain particulars, and be was glad
to be shown the torn card which the doc
tor had left behind him. and which Carol
bad thoughtfully picked up from the place
where she bad thrown it on the previous
night.
Of course this young man was the same
whom we saw in the company of Nora
Warner at the time when she fought
her memorable duel with Captain Grant,
the "Jack" whom the duelist thought he
had swn before and yet could not place.
While they talked Carol had joined
them and her presence was acknowledged
by the young man with a polite bow. lie
was unable to say what bad been Nora's
mission in seeking the young girl again.
but all he knew was that the poor de
ceived wife had discovered something of
the utmost importance which must be
communicated to Carol without delay if
she would save her from years of intense
suffering. This was what she had been
trying her best to tell when the brutal
keeper choked her further utterance;
The widow had not dared to tell Jack
the full particulars of that terrible scene,
for she saw that he was of an excitable
temperament, and also that he loved
Nora Warner, and she feared the result.
It was enough for him to know that she
was again in the power of those villains,
and as he seemed to possess Nora's en
tire confidence it might be readily sup
posed that she had some time in the past
given him to understand what manner ot
man the doctor was.
While they were yet talking, something
very like a muffled shriek reached their
ears and caused them all to spring up.
"What was that? asked each in won
der. B
"They say this place is haunted because
of singular noises beard here at times,
but I found tbey originated in a very
commonplace manner, for the lort atwve
this mill was occupied by a troop of
wild cats and during tbe night they were
wont to indulge in a melee that to su
perstitious ears sounded like the shrieks
of deadly foes, and their falls from raft
ers that ended each combat was to them
a repetition of the old murder that tooK
place here. I remedied all that by shut
ting up the boles In the window by means
of which they gained ingress, and ever
since that time I have never been both
ered by any unearthly sound. Whatever
It was we beard Just now, it came rrom
the interior of the mill, and will bear in
vestigation: so, if you would do us a
favor, sir, the time Is at band."
Jack was perfectly willing, and the
three immediately entered the main por
tion ot the mill by means of a door In
the back of the widow's humble kitchen.
They had lighted a lamp in place of the
dim cundle, and were thus enabled to
look around them in all direction.
When they stood within the mill proper
the young man looked around him. lie
saw but little of interest. The old saw
was there, but rusted so that It was
almost in pieces, and there were gaping
holes In the roof througn which both
rain and sunshine came at Interval,
according to tbe time.
While they stood thus there came to
their ears a plain, unmistakable groan
that made them start, and cold chill
run through their frames.
Again It sounded on their ears. This
time Jack's face brightened, for he saw
the hole in the gnat chimney, and st rid
ing up to It he cried into tbe orifice:
'Hello! where are you?"
The answer came immediately, and yet
was so mudlcd thst tbey could hardly
distinguish It.
In the chimney. lor heavens sake
get me out quick; I believe I am dying:
There was but one way to accomplish
this: Jack realized the fact it once. He
handed the lamp to the little widow and
replaced his revolver, feeling that he
would have no occasion to use It, at least
for the present.
Then he commenced enlarging the ori
fice by tearing down the bricks, always
working downward. Hornet lines he bad
dillicult work, but In the end he succeed
ed In his task, and the result was that
at the end of ten or fifteen minutes he
had cleared the way to within a foot or
so ot the ground.
Then stepping In, he bent down and
raised the form of the foreign detective
In his stout arms. When he had laid
him on the floor of the mill, he bent over
to examine tbe man's ghastly wounds.
"Who did this foul deed?" he asked In
horror.
"Wf-Jilspcred In reply, for he was
weak add almost dying. Jack uttered
smothered curs and, gaiuing his feet.
cried In voice that froze Carol with
horror:
"Some more of that demon's work.
May the curse ot heaven blight him and
his forever, lie Is one ot Satan s bends
and when we meet I shall send him to
the master he serves. Witness the oath!
CHAPTER XIV.
The words of the young man came very
near killing Carol Rkhmcnd, for uf
course she thought all along he had ref
erence to the Roger Darrel she know
and loved, and to think ot him as a mur
derer in addition to his other sin would
have beeu euough to have eutirely crush
ed her. ,
At the time she did not rememher that
ber mother and herself had seen Captain
Grant," or some oue closely resembling
him. leave the mill on the previous night
some time between the hour when Nora
Warner was carried off by her jailers an
daybreak.
All she could tl Ink ot was this one
fact, that besides being guilty of all those
other misdeeds, her Roger was not only
a murderer at heart, but was In a fair
way to become one in fact, for the un
fortunate man upon the mill floor looked
as thoueh he were dying. Her hearl
was now steeled against Roger, and at
their next meeting she must let him know
that he could not even call her friend. ..
While Carol was thus thinking upon
the matter, and deciding as to her future
plans. Jack was examining the wounds
of the detective.
"My man." said he 6nally, "you shall
live aye, live for vengeance on the fieud
whose haud struck those cowardly
blows."
The face of the detective lighted op
and a fierce gleam came into bis eyes,
for he would ask nothing better ou earth
than this.
Gently raising him. Jack carried the
poor man into the habitable part of the
building and laid him upon the blankets
prepared for him by the widow. Then he
proceeded to dress the wounds, and the
skill he exercised in this proved him to be
a young physician ot more than ordinary
talents.
He had a caste of remedies with him

Good Water Oat.
During the past season farmera who
have had streams running through
their farms have been kept very busy
keeping up water gates. Having auch
a stream through my farm I have beeu
thinking up a very good plan for wa
ter gates. I have four or five gates
made according to the plan, a sketch of
which I enclose. The plan of gato, I
think, is about as simple as I have
seen. Upon one aide of the stream an
ordinary post is act, on tho opposite
side a much longer post la act, on the
top of which is provided a pulley. The
gate can be made to fit the gap In the
stream, having in the tops of the cross
pieces pulleys. A rope or wire extend
ed from the top of the short post
through the pulleys on the gate, and
then extending through the pulley at
the top of the long post, with a weight
attached to the end, completes the do-

by driving some stakes down lu the

to be used In the handu of Carol's moth
er.
The detective possessed a magnificent
constitution and his wounds were uot
fatal, so that he was In h fair way for
speedy recovery, being in excellent hands.
Resides that, the burning desire for re
venge upon the man who had dealt him
such a cowardly blow was enough of tin
ineentive to keep him alive, for it brought
his will into play.
The widow was his attendant, for Carol
could not stay In the house, such was tbe
tumult of her thoughts In regard to Rog
er. But for the fact that Jack, for pru
dential reasons, had talked of all other
subjects before his departure save the
one they were interested in. they might
have learned that which would have fall
en like a bomb between them.
The detective was more communlcstlve,
for his heart warmed to the widow as the
one to whom he owed his life. lie was
a Russian by adoption, but In reality was
a born Englishman, w'hich accounted for
his sneaking the language so properly.
While he entertained the little lady
with long stories of the American adven
turer's doings in Russia, and bow, fall

he was a plotter against the life of the
Czar, the fact never leaked out that each
of tbem bad in" mind a far different per
sonage. Thus the terrible mistake was allowed
to become deeper, and the characters in
our story drifted along as the stern de
cree of fate willed.

To make butter with natural yel
low color during tho whiter months Is
almost a lost art lu this age ot frauds
and shams. While farmera and dairy
men denounce oleomargarine as a fraud
and want a law to prevent It from
being colored yellow, they do not aell
their owu butter with Its natural color,
but use a few drops of butter color to
give It an attractive tint. I supply a
few private cuNtoiners with butter, and
while I do not claim that my butter Is
as dark a yellow In the winter as In
the months when the cows are on pas
ture, yet it always has color enough
to look well without adding artificial
coloring to the cream. To make yellow
bntter In the winter without artificial
aid requires extra care In making tho
butter, In feeding the cows and select
ing the cows. Borne cows will make a
darker tinted butter than others. Tho
Jersey cowa are perhaps the best for
making yellow butter In the winter and
firm butter during the hot summer
months. If butter color was not used
this fact would add to the value of
Jersey cows.
lu feeding to mnke yellow butter I
think there Is nothing better than car.
rots. With a good supply of these
roots, together with plenty of 'clover
liar and good corn and bran, with the
right care In handling the cream, It Is,
possible to produce line butter in couij
weather. I generally nave some uiuu
grass left In the wood pasture In the
fall, and the cattle can get a bite when
there Is no snow on the ground lu ths
winter. Jersey Hullctln.
Meat and the Kuu Yield.
When feeding meat to hens do not
use the fatty parts. Tbe object in feed
lng meat to hens Is to supply them
with nitrogen or albumen and not fat,
as the grains contain all the fat and
starch they require and In a cheap
form. If the fat Is fed It doe not as
sist In any way to provide material
for eggs," but rat her 'retards than as
sists laying. The cheap portions of
beef, such as tbe neck, are better for
fowls than the choicest fat and Iciin
Bleaks. Meat is expensive when eggs
are low, but nevertheless gives a profit,
though small. In winter, however, It
Is cheap feeding, considering Its value
as an egg producer. One breeder states
that during one winter when eggs were
scarce and sold for 50 cents a dozen
he bought meat at 20 cents a pound,
fed an ounce dally to each ben, and It
paid him well, as he secured plenty of
eggs, while his neighbors were not get
ting any.

Truth About the Fretful Porcupine
Told by Old Trappers.
There U something about the porcu
pine which draws tho Interest of a
great many persons, according to the
attendants at the New York Zoological
Gardens In the P.ronx, says the New
York Tribune. It Is one of the first an
imals for which youthful visitors ask
when they come to the pnrk, and many
of their elders also want to be direct
ed to the porcupine pen. Some of the
visitors have strange Ideas about how
the porcupine came to bare quills and
what be can do with tbem.
"See the pins sticking out of that lit
tle black ball," said a fond father who
was giving bla young hopeful a lesson
In nutural history. "That's a porcu
pine, and It lights with those quills.
When the doss come It raises Its quills
and at the right time slioota them out,
Just like tbe powder shouts tho bullet
out of the gun."
"It does, does UT exclaimed an old
man who was peering through the bars
at the same porcupine.
The father looked up quickly, and
bis glance asked: " And who tho di k
ens are you?"
"I've lived most nil my life up In
the Adirondack, where porcupines are
thick," explained the old man, "and I've
hunted them many times. It's a mis
take alout their being able to shoot
their qullla."
"But I've seen dogs with the quills
driven Into nose, chest and legs," re
turned the father. "How do you ac
count for that?"
"Most people do not know," contin
ued the man fronrthe mountains, "that
the porcupine lights with Its tall, using
It as a man would a dub. The tall Is
heavy and well covered with quills, and
the beast bns perfect control over It
when It comes to purposes of defense.
It can strike a blow with sufficient
force to drive quills Into a stick of hard
wood, to say nothing of a dog's flesh.
"When the porcupine turns tall It Is
time for tho enemy to retreat, for the
defense Is about to begin. The blow Is
delivered quickly, without warning, and
It leaves a bum b of quills wherever It
strikes. This iiietlnd of righting with
Its tall Is responsible for tho theory
Hint the porciiplno can shoot lis
quills."

that the cows may be brought to the
exposition grounds before the flrvt of
the year. Their location la at the north
end of the live stock site and Just west
of the, proposed live stock farm or
main amphitheater. The barns will be

12 will be provided for the cows at
calving time, and two box talls will
furnish quarters for bulls. The second
floor will have four feed bins, each
holding about WW bushels of ground
feed. Weeping quarters for the men In
charge of the cows are also provided.
The arrangement of the burns permits
full Inspection of the stock by visitors
and of the care of the cows to the best
possible advantage. Chief Coburn and
Secretary Mills express themselves as
well pleased with the plans.
