C H A P T E R V I — Continued It occurred to me at once that Nor heys, goaded to exnsperation by Ca ble’s conduct to Miss Temple, had gone off with her and got married somewhere. "Did you,” I asked, “ find out wheth er Miss Temple Is in London or not?” "No, I didn't. You surely don’t think he’s gone off with her?” “ It might be worth while finding out whether she’s in London or not.” I went over to the telephone and rang up the Belvedere theater. I asked whether Miss Temple was there and at what hour she might be ex pected to dance. Someone who was either In a hurry or a bad temper re T h e W o n d e r S o le f o r W e a r — plied that Miss Temple was unable W e a rs tw ic e a s lo n g a s b e s t le a th e r f to dance owing to Indisposition.

I told him that every thing was ready. As a matter of fact, Cable haa had an agent from Lystria waiting in Berlin for a w eek, ready to make a dart across the frontier the very moment Norheys arrives. Every one in Lystria la pre pared for the coup d’etat The patri arch and most of the leading nobles are to be in the Scliloss Arnberg, one of the old royal palaces. Cable has poured money Into the country and has got the whole thing thoroughly organized. In fact, he told me that he’d managed to bribe the President of the Megalian republic and three of his cabinet ministers, so that they won't make a fuss when Lystria de clares Its Independence. I ’ve settled things with the French, more or less, that Is to say, they've agreed to leave it to the League of Nations.” “ Which means?” Troyte smiled slightly. “Talk,” he said, “ and time.” “ So you really think that If Nor heys has gone there—” “ Everything will go quite smooth ly,” said Troyte. “ But I wish he’d told me he was starting at once.” “ And It might have been better,” I said, “ If he hadn't taken Miss Tem ple with him.” " I don’t believe he's done that,” said Troyte. "Hang It all, the boy's a gentleman. He wouldn't go off to marry the princess with that other woman In attendance.” I felt as sure as I could be about anything that Norheys had not gone off to marry the princess. But he might possibly have gone to Lystria to see If he could secure the crown without the princess. He told me he was anxious to please hts uncle and to supply the empire with oil. “ What would happen,” I said, " I f he asked for the crown and refused to marry the princess?” “ He wouldn't get It,” said Troyte. "The Lystrlans are legitimists to the backbone." “ And if by any chance— I ’m not saying that It Is so, I ’m only making a suggestion—If by any chance Miss Temple followed him there of her own accord, what would happen?” “ I should think," said Troyte, “ that the patriarch would probably hang Norheys und Imprison Miss Temple. But that can't have happened. The girl wouldn’t be such a fool as to go there on her own." Then a servant came In and mur mured to Troyte that Mr. Cable want ed to see him on very Important bus iness. “ Show him In," said Troyte. I had never seen Procopius Cable. With Norhey’a description fresh In my mind I expected a repulsive look ing man. Norheys called him "a Se mitic toad,” an “ octopus," and “ a slimy money-lender." I was agree ably surprised. He did not look like a gentleman, hut there was no doubt about Ills being masterful and strong. I saw that he possessed ability of an uncommon kind. I could understand how It was that Troyte believed him to he an empire-builder. Clive and Warren Hustings. In earlier days Drake and Frobisher, later on per haps Cecil Rhodes, must have been men of essentially the same sort of character. But looking at the man. It was tolerably certain that he waa not by birth an Englishman. He had become English because England 1* the natural home of men o f his type, the only country which has ever un derstood how to use them. But the foreign strain waa unmistakable. It was not Semitic. It was not Latin. I do not think It was Slav. It was something that made him more ex citable and more liable to display ex citement than a man of our blood would he. HD eyes were sparkling. His face seemed to shine and his movements were Jumpy when he walked into the room. When he saw me he stopped, half way between the door and the fireplace. Troyte Introduced me formally, told him that he need not hesitate to speak in my presence and Invited him to sit down. Cable still looked at me doubtfully. Troyte explained that I was Norheys' godfather and knew all nbout the Lystrlan business. Then Cable blurted out the news. “ I came round to tell you.” he said, "that I’ve Just had a telegram from Caslmlr. You recollect, don't you. Count Istvan Caslmlr is the most In fluential of the Lystrlan nobles. He's my agent In Berlin.” "Yes,” said Troyte. “ He was to re ceive Norheys there.” “ Everything has gone capitally so far,” said Cable. “ Lord Norheys ar rived In Berlin. Caalmlr met him. They crossed the Megalian frontier today." “ Today?" said Troyte. "Norheya and Caslmlr?" “ Lord Norheys and the princess," said Cable. '’Caslmlr couldn't go with them. He wouldn’t havp been allowed to cross the frontier. The patriarch Is waiting for them In the Schloss Amberg. They ought to ar rive there tomorrow evening. Next morning the wedding will be -ele- hrated in the Koyal chapel. Tomor row afternoon the coronation will take place." Cable was excited, wildly excited. He stepped forward, tool! Troyte’s liqueur glass, filled It with cognac and j raised It high above his head. “ God save the king of Lyetria," he said. He swallowed the cognac, and. fol lowing the best precedents, threw clown the glass. It ought no doubt to have emphasized the toast by be- mg shivered to atom* Bui T ro yte » j Persian carpet la soft. The glean merely rolled about a little. I picked It np quite unharmed and set it oa the tray. “ I suppose,” I aald, “ that there’! no possibility of a mistake about your news?” "There can’t be a mistake,” said Cable. “Caslmlr la thoroughly reli able. The telegram Is In my private code, so you couldn't read It If I showed It to you. But you may take my word for It that It comes from Caalmlr. No one else has the code.” ” 1 don't see any reason to suppoaa there is a mistake,” said Troyte. ’’Norheys told me he meant to go to Lystria, though I didn't know he meant to »tart day before yesterday.” "H e started a week ago,” said Ga ble. That puzzled me. I was quite cer tain that I had seen Norheya less than a week ago. Certainly Miss Temple was dancing in the Belve dere four days before. I saw her there myself. Whatever Norheya had done, she had certainly not left Lon don a week ago. “ Does your telegram say whether there waa any one else with Norheya and the princess?" I said. “ You’ve told us that the Count Caslmlr couldn't go with them. Did they go off to Lystria alone?" "There was a lady with the prin cess,” said Cable. “ Who?” I asked. “ I don’t know,” said Cable. "Some lady-in-waiting, of course," said Troyte. I was more puzzled than ever. I felt convinced that Miss Tem ple was with Norheys wherever he was. Unless he had succeeded In working out his plan for marrying both of them I failed to see what could have happened. “ I think,” said Troyte, “that we ought to follow Mr. Cable’s example, and drink the health of the king and queen of Lystria.” He rang the bell. In a few min utes we had a bottle of champagne on the table between us. Troyte filled three glasses. He and I stood up. Cable had not sat down. “ Long life to the king and queen,” said Troyte. “ The restored monarchy of L y a tria," said Cable. "Oil," I said, “ and plenty of it.” Troyte drank. Cable hesitated, looking doubtfully at me. He sus pected that I might be poking fun at him, and that kind of man always hates a Joke. I held up my glass and smiled amiably. Then— things occasionally happen In this dramatic way even In real life— Norheya and Viola Tempts walked In. “ Hullo 1 Uncle Ned," aald Nor heys, “Just ran round, don’t you know, to tell you that Viola and I were married the day before yester day. Did the trick In Dover and ran over to Paris for twenty-four hours. Excuse our not being dressed and that sort of thing. The train's only Just In.” Troyte stared at him. So did Ca ble. Neither of them spoke. I felt It was my duty to break a alienee that was becoming awkward. “ Oddly enough," I said, “ we were just drinking to yeur health when you came In.” “ Were you?” said Norheys. “ Now how the devil did you know? I sup pose It got into the papers somehow. What I always say Is; It's no use trying to keep things out of papers. ‘The marquis o f Norheya and hie beautiful bride leaving the church after the ceremony, and all that sort of thing. What? With a photograph of some other fellow and quite a dif ferent girl grinning at you. I don't know how it's done; but there It is, you know. Anyhow, I'm glad It waa broken to you. Uncle Ned. I waa afraid It might be a bit of a facer at first. Not that I'm going to back out of Lystria. I always told you I was quite on for that. So’s Viola. Viola Is as keen as I am and we'll start to morrow If you like." “ Are you Lord Norheys?” gasped Cable. “ That exact man, and this ia Lady Norheys." " I f you’ re Lord Norheys—" said Cable. " I don't blame you for not recog nizing me.” said Norheya. " I expect the photographs you saw In the pa pers gave me a long white heard or something. But I'm the man, the actual and only original. Do tell him who I am. Uncle Bill. He doesn't seem to believe me.” " I f you’re Lord Norheva, some one else must have gone off to Lystria with the princess." "Good old Calypso,” said Norheya. “ Done a bolt on her own, I suppose. Family chauffeur, perhaps. What I always say la this: I f a girl haa any spirit It’s a mistake to drive her up agulnst the ropes, telling her she's got to marry some fellow she's never seen. They won't stand It, and I don't altogether blame them. Jolly Independent, all of them, specially since the war." " I f you’ re Lord Norheys," Cable said, "who has gone off to Lystria with the princess?" He spoke In a dull flat tone. Troy te made no attempt to answer him. Norheys put his arm round his wife's waist and winked vulgarly at me. There waa a long and embarrassing silence. I broke It In the end with an Idiotic answer to Cable's question "Unless It's my sister Emily's lost curate, I don’t see who it can be.” Then I giggled nervously.

U R IN E H A R T , K n o z v llls , I1L) The successful raising of sheep on a farm depends a great deal upon the lambs produced by the flock. In fact, the meat side of the Industry bears a direct relation to the profits of the flock. The three essentials in the produc tion of desirable lambs are : Good breeding, proper feeding and castrat ing and docking. The latter concerna us moat and la also the most Impor tant since desirable and profitable lambs cannot be produced without castrating and docking them. The in fluences st work to educate the Amer ican people to eat more lamb and mutton cannot succeed if lambs are not properly bred, fed and castrated, and as these products must sell in competition with beef and pork, It is essential that the quality la at least aa good as that of the others. No one thinks of marketing bull calves and boar pigs, and yet this is Just what is being done in the case of lambs. The castrating and docking of lambs is es sential if the farm flock is to pro duce s real profit and the veterinarian la in a position to help bring about the deeded change. U is estimated that 80 per cent of native lambs arrive at the markets entire and undocked and the shipments are often branded as “ a trashing bunch of natives” by the buyers. Lambs which are undocked, uncastrated, un even in size, weight, quality and con dition, coming from the farming states, sell from $2 to $4 less per hundred weight than lambs properly docked, castrated and graded. In short, if the westerner did not find it profitable, cas trating and docking would not be so universally practiced in the western states, where sheep raising is a vast Industry. The benefits derived from the early castration of lamks are: More weight per age; no pregnancies from cohabitation of the aexes. greater docility. Improved body development and quality of meat. The castration of iambs la not a dangerous operation if properly dona. Lambs should be castrated at about the age of fifteen days, provided the weather conditions are good. Damp, chilly days are very unfavorable for such operations. It is essential to sort out the males before the work begins in order that they may be caught with the minimum of excitement. A clean, dust-free place should be provided, and there ahould be clean quarters provided for them to run in after the operation. Clean hands and knife are essential and scalpel, which la the best knife for the purpose, must be sharp. To avoid catching them the second time, dock ing ahould be done at the same time. Docking improves the uppearance of lambs, prevents filth from accumulat ing on the tails and removes a useless appendage. And besides, feeders are more likely to buy docked lambs than undocked ones. The veterinarian can make himself useful by advising farmers who raise lambs, along these Unea, and cun reap the benefits In the confidence good ad vice always brings a practitioner when It serves such a useful purpose Cost of Producing Hogs on Farms in Corn Belt Studies of costs In producing hogs are being made by the bureau of agri cultural economics on some 150 farms In the corn belt. These studies In clude the management of swine herds ¿ind the feed and labor requirements on hoga that are handled under the different methods of pork production practiced in the belt. Acreages of two crop*— alfalfa and sugar beets—are Increasing rapidly In Bennington county. Minn., according to reports to the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. Farmers of the county are endeavoring to establish a cropping system which will provide for more than one source of Income and for maintaining good soil conditions. Only a few acres o f alfalfa were well established in the county In 1919. At this time the county agricultural ex tension agent arranged with one or two farmers In each community to plant demonstration plots of this le gume so that farmers In all parts of the county would have an opportunity to see how the crop Is grown and what results might be expected from It. So successful were these demon strations that over 2,000 acres were planted in the next two seasons, and by last year the total acreage approx imated 10.000 acres. The sugar-beet crop reached 8(X) acres by 1924 and the farmers who have watched the progress of the crop say It has dem onstrated Its value for growing in their county. Take Care of Ewes When the lambs are to come while the weather Is cold, the ewea should have access lo a yard on the sunny, sheltered side of the barn where they will not he disturbed by other animal». When the weather Is pleasant, one ahould continue to Induce them to take a good deal of exercise, but when a ewe la about ready to lamb she should not he allowed to wander far from shelter, for a lamb dropped ovtalde la almost certain to chill ta death.
