I.AKK AMNIA KXAMIMk. l.,iKK.rV II HI. W ! I.I ILady Across the Water By C N. 6 A. M. WILLIAMSON 0 conrRicrr. io. iy mcClure. rniuirs co. o o Chapter JS HE day after I came to Valley farm was one of the longest days of my lire. Not that It wasn't pleasant, for It was. But wbeu you Ket up liefoiv and finish breakfast at 7 It Uooj give jou a good uiauy hours to do what jou Ilk with. I wasn't allowed to help Mrs. Trow bridge and the girls with their work. Mr. Brett went - off directly after breakfast with Mr. Trowbridge and the two mysterious young men to get In hay or do something useful and farmy. so I sat in the maple grove with Vi vace (who Is a great favorite In the household) and wrote down all my ex periences since Chicago. We bad an enormous dinner at 12, which made me feel very odd. as I'm oot used to It But when we were called to "tea." I knew better than I did yesterday what to expect I've written home, of coarse. 1 wrote the day after 1 arrived. At Crst I felt 1 ought to cable, but If I did they might send at once, and on second thoughts 1 decided It wasn't necessary to go to the expense. So I just wrote to mother to say 1 couldn't stand It with Mrs. Ess Kay on ac count of her brother and I'd left sud denly to Join Sally Woodburn In the country; where 1 was boarding Quite close to her. I wrote to Mrs. Ess Kay, too, and said the same thing, asking her to kindly send on my boxes. She sent the boxes by what they call "express," but didn't answer my let ter, which rather astonished me, as I had thought she would scold aDd had dreaded It But when I told Sally she wasn't as much surprised as I was. She knew already everything that hap pened after I ran away from the Moorings and told me all about It which interested me a great deaL Mrs. Ess Kay had written her some things, and Mrs. Pltchley (whose maid is an Intimate friend of Mrs. Ess Kay's Louise) had supplied all the missing details. It seems that the day after the pink ball Mrs. Ess Kay had one of ber - headaches and no wonder. Feeling very Ul. hLip didn't take much Interest in me and took it for granted when Louise said I wasn't out of ray room that' I wanted to sleep till lr '"leon. Potter had been so furloui that he thought to punish me for my sins by sulking. Mrs. Ess Kay did not appear at luncheon, and Potter went out somewhere. But when I didn't show .. myself or even ring, the servants be jtan to think It odd and spoke to Louise. She knocked at my door, and when after rapping several times there was no answer she opened It to find the room empty, the bed smooth, my boxes packed and all Mrs. Ess Kay's presents to me spread out on a sofa. By that time it was after 2, and. If only they had known, I was leaving the Waldorf-Astoria to take the train for Chicago with Mr. Brett. Mrs. Eps Kay was so nervous with bw headache and the reaction after all ber work In getting up the great af fair that when she was told I was no where to le found she had hysterics and slapped Louise. I'otter was Kent for to the Casino and ime home in a rage. They talked -things over and made up their minds that I liiul either caught a ship sailing for home or else had gone to Chicago to join Sally. If It hadn't been that they were afraid of. a scandal coining -out In some horrid society paper they would have applied to the police for tielp, but as it was they didn't dare, and Potter said he could manage every thing himself, ' 'A ship really bad sailed that day, so, .as well as telegraphing to Sally, Pot ter went to the offices, . then to the docks, and made all sorts of inquiries. From what he heard about some peo pie who had engaged bertha at the last minute he couldn't he quite sure I wasn't one of them, having gone un der an assumed name. To add to the trouble, no uuswer came from Sally. Mrs. Halo, accord lug to Instructions, bad opened tho telegram and, knowing something of the story from Sally, wasn't anxious to relieve Mrs. E Kay's uilud about me In too much of a hurry. Instead of having th messagu wired again she inclosed it In an en-" velope and sent it on to Sally by post, so there was' another delay, and they knew nothing for certain until a letter from Sally and one from me Hrrlved at about the same time. Sally's opinion was and Is that Mrs. Fsd Kay has1 something up her sleeve; that fahe won't write to me because she wants to bLow how hurt and scan dalized she is by my ungracious con duct, but that Bhe has some Idea for getting even with me sooner or later. If she hadn't that to keep her up Bally thinks ehe couldu't have resisted an Rawing my letter with a tirade. For tunately she'eau't claw me away from the Trowbrldges tnd uuko me marry Potter even If he would have me now after all my badness -otherwise sue wuuld ui-'riiaxis luivu tried . to act et once. AndnVTVift have me put lit prison on bread and water and solitary ! confinement, as uo doubt she would i like to do. Still. I don't feel quit ' easy In my mind alnuit her silence, lext ! Sally may Ih right about some dlsit- preeab !e plan ahe's hatching. ; I've found out everything about nil the members of the family at Valley 1 farm now, and I've got acquainted ! with most of the neighbors. The? ah tli::i wig!:!!!" If they live anywherv within twelve or fifteen ml lea. Mr. Trowbridge, although a fartm-r who works In his own fields. Is an "honorable." I was surprised when I heard that, as I dldu't suppose people bad titles In America. But he's a sen ator or something In his own state which Is very Important, so he Is railed 'honorable" officially and on let ters, as one is at home If that's all one can scrape up by way of a cour tesy title. The two young men who come In to cat with ns, but are never seen about the house at any other time, are "farm h-inds." though they are not treated at nil like servants, and Mr. Trowbridge lends them the newest books and mag azines (of which be has quantities) to read In the evening. It Is very strange about Patty and Ide. Though Patty Is so quiet. almoet meek In her ways, and dresses so plainly and is quite contented to work In the hot kitchen, cooking and wash ing dishes. It turns out that she Is a very rich girl, or will be. She Is an orphan, and ber grandfather, although a farmer, has more than a million dol lars (which sounds tremendous, hut wouldn't be as Impressive. I supose. If one did It In pounds), and when he dies, as be must before long, as he Is very old. Patty will have all his money Young people get on his nerves, so Patty lives with the Trowbridge, who are friends of his, and helps Mrs Trowbridge with her work. Ide really is a sort of servant but she would go away instantly If any body called her that and she is so afraid some one may think she Is In ferior to the others In the house be cause she Is paid wages for ber woik that she ' does ber hair elaborately. wears smarter dresses than the rest and puts herself rather forward with strangers so as to Impress them. She wouldn't even like to be called a "help," but says that she "obliges" Mrs. Trowbridge, and she wouldn't stop long enough to, draw another breath If she were not treated better if anything than Patty. After "tea" we drove to the Empori um at Hermann's Corners. The Em porium Is always open till half past 9. and there was going to tie an "Ice cream festival" there that night. I didn't know what an Ice cream fes tival meant but Mr. Trowbridge said should see for myself, and It would probably be different from anything I had yet experienced.- Mr. Trowbridge and Mr. Brett and I all drove In the buggy. It was rather a squeeze In one seat but It was fun. and we were very merry, i ; - , The rest all squashed Into a big wagon and sat on the bay. I would have gone In that way. too, but Mr. Trowbridge wanted me to try his horse, and we could bear the others laughing every minute as they came jolting on behind us. It was about seven miles to Her mann's Corners, and after a lovely drive through charming, peaceful coun try we arrived just as it was begin ning to be dusk. I couldn't have imagined such a place as the Emporium, and when I was in the thick of It 1 said to myself that it would be worth one's while com ing over to the States Just to visit It. if nothing else. If I had to choose lie tween I believe I'd rather see it than Niagara falls, for one knows Niagara falls from blographs and things, nnd nothing short of actually seeing could give one the slightest Idea of Mr. Whit Walker and his Emporium. My first impression of , the Kmiiorluoi was a huge, rambling wooden build ing rather like a vast bain, with a dozen smaller barns tacked on to It and windows let in, Jt Is painted pea green and has a rough veranda run ning partly around It a high veranda with no steps, or, if any. at such lung intervals that you must search for them. But as there's uo pavement we Just scrambled out of the buggy and cart on to the veranda, and there we, were landed among the most extraor-. dlnary collection of things I ever dreamed of." The stock In the Empori-1 urn having overflowed from the Inside ! on to the veranda, we stumbled about' among boxes of eggs, sewing machines, crates of dishes, garden tools, brooms, rockl'iir 'ball's, perambulators, boots, 'canned" fruit hildren's toys, lug gage, green vegetables, ice cream freez ers, bales of calico, men's suits, piled up books, clotheslines and thousand other "goods." Just as we threaded oui way through, the groups of young men, who looked at us a good deal, people were lighting th gas, lu the Emporium. It was In candescent and blazed up suddenly with a fierce light as If Jt were a vol cano having an eruption All the wo men Inside (there' was quite a crowd of them, bareheaded or In perfectly fasciiiaUng frjlli'd. sunbonnetai shrieked end' r6en cycled. A raJrT who vn surrounded by girls said something we couldn't hear which mad everybody laugh, and Mr. Trowbridge exclaimed: . "That's Whit, sure, holding conrt IVtntdn't be anybody else." "And I guess that's the honorable. said the vtfi-e we had heard such a nice voice: It was enough to make yon Inngh with pleasure Just fo hear It and the head we could see towertnr over the minhonnor began to wove to. ward ns The girls edged away (rood naturedly, and there was a man almost as fine looking as Mr. Brett siuIIIm at ua and holding out his big hand. Everything was big about hliu lib voice, his brown throat, his shoulders and bis good white smile, shining with kindness and two rows of perfect teeth; his nature, too. ns you coulj see by his beaming, humoruus fray eye and the generous dimple In hit square chin. "Whit, this is the little English lady ship I've told you about who's staying over at our house." snld Mr. Trow bridge. So we were Introduced, and the great Whit shook my hand with a vigorous magnetism which made me feci I would like to clap and give him three cheers. Tie Is the scrt of man 1 should try t-y make president of the rnlted State If I were an American, and I'm sure he would ret lots of votes from his part of the country If he were nominated. "I'm real pleased to meet you." said he. "and I'm honored to have you visit my store. Say. I guess some of our American lending ladles will have to get a hustle on If they want to save themselves now you're over here. I didn't know they made 'em like that on your side. I tell you what It Is. honorable. I won't have much use for some of our fellows if they let her go back, eh? Now. ma'am, you Just tell me what handle I'm to put to your name, but I think I'll call you prin cess." "Then I'll call you prince." Accompanied by Mr. Walker and Patty, whom he chose as the compan ion of our explorations, we went up atalrs and downstairs and left no cor ner of the Emporium unvlslted. "Aren't you afraid to leave so many things outside on the veranda?" I ask ed. "Suppose they should be stolen?" The great man only laughed, but a lanky customer who overheard drawled out: "What steal from Whit Walker of Ilermann'a Corners! Waal, I guess the skunk mean enough to do that would get himself lynched by every decent chap in this darned county." "I've got one friend, you see, prin cess," chuckled my king of the Empo rium. , . "You've got two," said I. "Well, now, that's mighty pretty of you. Bay, do you mean it honor bright?" "Honor bright," 1 repeated. "Then I wonder if I might ask a Ut ile favor of you?" "Of course. What U Jt?" "I'll tell you before we part But come on down now, girls. I want you should both choose a present to take home." , . . , By this time the "Ice cream festival" was beginning. It was held In a va cant lot behind the Emporium, and a canvas awning had been put up ver two or, three dozen bare tables, on the grass. Several - employees' of the "store," extra hands perhaps, were kept frantically busy ladling out'.frou? huge freezers into earthenware saucer big slabs of frozen custard. All the gallant young beaux of the neighbor hood "treated" the girls they wished to favor and spent' 10 cents a snui-er for the "Ice cream," with a big sugared "cooky" thrown In. The great Whit himself invited me to alt down wttlk him. So Mr. Brett, who had been com ing up. to ask Patty and me both, per haps, whisked Patty away, leaving: me to Mr. Walker. '"Sow TJ1 tuJIJ-ou ttjat favor I want" sald.be. "f6ope jou won't think. I'm presuming too" much" on a short ae-' qalntahce. but Iff a' mighty Impor tant thing for me. 'It's about that lit tle gal over there." ' "Patty?" I asked. He nodded. ,.. "Nooody else. There ain't anybody lse, so far as I'm concerned, meaning no disrespect to you, princess. My old friend the honorable says she Just worships you and would lie down and lot you walk over her if you wanted." "I didn't know," 1 said. -"Well, It's gospel truth, 1 guess, and t don't blame her. Jf you" "She has been sweet to me," I Inter rupted. . "It's Just like that pretty., quiet lit tle thing," said Mr. Waker. . "I wish she'd be that sweet to mo, . I want her mighty bad to have me, princess, but she's read novels, ' I guess, and any how, she doesn't think I'm romantic enough. I was always kind of afraid there was somebody else,' Now, I shouldn't wonder If It ain't that good looking young cousin of the Trow bridges. Couldn't you find out for roe, as she thinks1 such a lot of you? And if she hasn't got her heart too much set ou anybody else, could you try to use your Influence for pie?" "You can dvpeud on mo, to do my i "hst." I said. Itut I didn't feel amused and full of fun any more as I looked over at Patty and Mr. Brett. If she admires lilm-and how could she help ttT-there'a no reason why ha shouldn't admire her when one comes to think f It She Is pretty and sweet, a per fect little lady and an heiress. THE HART TEST. Invention to Dttirmin the Percentage of Catsin In Milk. Palrymcu In many sections are Inter ested In the uew Hart test for casein In milk. Dr. U. It.

To some the test appears Important In the possibility which It offers o the development of dairy herds for the specific purpose of producing milk rich In casein for the manufacture or cheese. Useful Instrument For Dairymen. A small silver, nickel plated or bard rubber tube la sometimes nsed to draw the milk from a sore teat and la a useful instrument to have on the dairy farm. It ia simply Inserted into the milk channel, when most of the milk will run oot without any aqueeslns or sucking. But It should lie used wltb great care, so aa not to Injure the teat. THE HORSEMAN. The colt should have nore than a passing acquaintance wltb the saddle and bridle at six months ef age. Curing a Pullnr. It is claimed by one who has tried It that a driving horse that pulls ou the bit can be cured by fastening a small ring on each side ef the bridle and, as near the brow batr iu possible. Paaa the tines through ait rings and snap them Into the rings- at the brow band. This, with a common Jointed !U. will enabled a cbDd to hold a "poller," or hard moutUsd horse, with ease under almost all circumstances. It can be used on a. fust horse In. double team or on both, as desired. It la cheap and easily applied, and it won't make the mouth) sore.' Indications of Dissasa. An Irregular pulse- in a horse la a strong symptom of grave disease, , In a healthy horse the eulse beats thirty two to tbirty-eigh per udnule,, but forty-eight per minute may not da note disease In socne boraea. To take the pulse place the- finger of the right band across the artery below the Jaws, holding tbe watctj In the- left handt. and Count the beats;', A rise. of temperature above 100 degrees denotes that some thing la wrung. To take tbe tempera ture use a thermometer.. By practice a high temperature- can be easily de tected by -inserting the baud la the mouth of the animal. Cold tegs and cold ears and cold sweat are bad symp toms. Difficult and quick , breathing Indicate lung trouble, and snoring la caused by disease of the brain. A rough coat is a lxd symptom, denot ing indigestion. Fever In a horse ia Indicated by dullness, a quick pulse, high temperature, extended and in flamed nostrils and usually great de sire for water.
