Bending low he whispered Into Tom my's ear; “ I need scareety say that your lord- ship will be at no expense, none whatever.” Then he turned and gave a series of orders In German to a subordinate who stood near. Tommy leaned back In his gilt chair and looked round. He saw at once that he had been given one of the very best tables In the room. It stood at the edge of a great square carpet which covered the center of the floor. On the carpet Itself there were no tables. But diners at tables of var ious sizes sat round It in parties of two or four or six. Behind the tables which stood on the edge of the car pet were others. Behind these still more and these were set on a sort of platform a step above the floor of the room. Farther back among pillars and under archways In what Tommy thought of as broad side aisles, were other places for still more diners. Gazing round curiously Tommy caught sight of a woman standing up at one of the farthest tables. She was waving her hand and signaling to him. At a second glance he rec ognized her—Janet Church. In a se vere blnck dress, the only evenmg gown she took with her when trav eling, she looked much out of place In the Maseotte. Having attracted Tommy's attention, she began to cross the room toward him, evidently with the Intention of sitting down at his table. But this was not al lowed. The head waiter caught sight of her and gave an order to one of his men. Janet Church was stopped, turned round and conducted to the obscure and distant table which she had left. It would Interest me, though per haps no one else, to know what Tom my had to eat and drink that night.

Tommy saw that thin gray hair was carefully brushed across a hald patch on top of his heud. lie was by no means a young man. He had small twinkling eyes and a rounded paunch, llut lie bore himself with a certain dignity. Even when he was bowing low there was no sign of servility In his manner.

The princess' turn was evidently the chief performance of the eve ning. Conversation ceased. Men sal down their glasses and leaned for ward In their chairs. The music of the band sank to a soft rhythmical throbbing. A drum muttered softly. A girl In a dress shining with se quins stepped daintily down among the tables, stood In the middle of the carpet and curtsied low to Tommy. He could have sw’orn that It was to him alone that she curtsied, that she took no notice of any one else in the room. He also had an unpleasant Impression that she disliked, or per haps despised him, and only curtsied to him because she was forced to do It. The managers of the Maseotte. having secured the services of a real princess, made the most of her, and gave her every chance of making the most of herself. The higher lights were extinguished all over the room. Only the small shaded lamps on the diners' tables still burned. A bright beam from some hidden lamp fell on the princess and followed her whar- ever she moved. The twitching of the violin strings grew faster. Tha players drew their bows across the strings and the music came loud and tempestuous. The girl on the carpet with the light on her looked younger, fresher, more beautiful than any of the others who had danced before her. Unfortunately she could not dance. Her performance would scarcely have won applause In a second-rate theater. Her steps and attitudes were graceful enough but were easy of accomplishment. There was no kind of spirit or any delight in her dancing. Even Tommy, who knew nothing about tbe art, realized thut this girl was greatly tha Inferior of those who had gons before her. Her dancing meant noth lng, conveyed nothing except a feel ing that she disliked doing It and de spised the people she was doing 11 for. It seemed to Tommy that she was dancing specially for him and that she disliked and despised him more than she did the others. The music rose to a climax of sound. The dance came suddenly to an end. The lights blazed out again. The girl sank to the ground In a low curtsey with her skirts spread out round her. right In front of Tommy's table, within a couple of feet from him. There was a burst of applause. Men stood tip and shouted. It was not the dancing they approved. Not a Jewess among them, not a slant eyed Russian lady, not a profiteer, or even an American but knew per fectly well that the girl could not dance. Their applause was for them selves, not for her. It was the new rich proclaiming their triumph over the old aristocracy, over royalty It self. Risen from the sllma of the war period, they acclaimed themselves masters of the old order which wal there, like Samson among the Phil istines, to make sport for them. The band blared Into a noiay march The girl remained crouched at Tom my's feet, flushed and panting. th< fingers of her right hand twitching at the bodice of her dress. Sudden ly she rose. With a quick nod and a little motion of her hand she flicked a note across to Tommy. It fell on the plate In front of him. The girl, without glancing at him again, look ing neither to the right nor to the left, walked through the applauding people and disappeared. ( T O HR C O N T IN U R D .) Snake Does N o t “ S tin g ” The stinging snake Is a mytn. Al though thousands of people apparently believe there is such a thing as a stinging snake, and many of them in sist that they have seen such snake* no competent scientist or observer has ever had the privilege of seeing on«. Rewards for stinging snakes are oc casionally offered. but no such snakea are ever produced. The nearest ap proach to the supposed stinging snake Is the “ Furancla abacura." l small, harmless snake with a needle-llke spine on its tail. In different parts of the South this snake, along with kindred specl»*. Is known variously as the hoop snaxe, the rainbow snake, the mud snake and the stinging snake. But the notion that these snakes sting with their tails la all poppycock.— Exchange M ira cles o f St. Leonard I f there were such a personage. St Leonard would certainly have been ths patron saint of prisoners. He was originally s French nobleman St ths court of Clovis l. and became a monk and founded a monastery which, after his death, about 599. was known as St. Leonard le Noblst. He was famed for his charity toward prisoners, and Is re puted to have worked many miracles on their behalf. These miracles In re leasing unhappy captives continue# after hts death, according to tradl tlon. which was very convenient, si his festival happened to he the Aral i day of the Michaelmas term, wh** »r lts were made returnable.— Family llet si A Brief suggestions on shearing sheep are given below by the animal hus bandry division for the benefit o f those farmers who are growing sheep for the first time and are inexperi enced in the method of shearing. The first mistake commonly made in shearing sheep Is the method of catching and holding. There are three ways by which the sheep may be satisfactorily caught. The first is to throw the bund in front of the neck, the second is to grasp them in the rear Hank, and the third is to catch the left hind leg just above the hock in the right hand and then grad ually pull the sheep backward and throw the left hand around under the chin. The next tiling to do is to lift the sheep entirely clear of its feet and place it on its rump, Inclining it back somewhat so that the hind legs cannot get a foothold. Sheep placed in such a position will struggle very little— the beginner, however, will have considerable difficulty In prevent ing the sheep from struggling vio lently. In shearing, the wool should be cut smoothly and close to the body. A very common mistake is to clip them the first time not very close to the body and then go over the surface again and reclip. This method re sults in a lot of short fibers which are practically worthless, so far as the manufacturer is concerned. The fleece should be kept intact and should not be taken off in hunches or patclies. After it is taken from the body It should be carefully rolled with the inside (side which was next to the body) out. When thus rolled it gives the fleece a splendid appearance and it will sell better on the market. Probably the worst mistake made in shearing sheep is that all sorts of twine are used in tying the fleeces. One should select twine which has a very hard finish and which will not shed its fibers in the wool. Good three-ply No. 4*6 twine is very satis factory. There is a so-called wool twine on the market which is very soft and sheds its fillers readily, which is very objectionable. Ordinary bind er twine, which is used in harvesting small grain is also objectionable. There is a paper wool for the pur pose of tying fleeces and which is thoroughly satisfactory. After tying, the fleeces should be stored in a clean, dry place where they will not accumulate moisture or dust. When placed in bags for ship ment or storage care should be taken to select bags which are closely woven, so that they will not shed their fibers on the fleeces. When placed in ordinary burlap sacks the fibers from these sacks will gtt In the fleeces, and when woven into cloth or blankets they will not dye readily and consequently the buyer cannot afford to pay as much for fleeces stored and shipped in such bags as he could if the proper type of bag were used. Better Demand for Pure- Bred Horses in Kansas Unusually large numbers of licenses Issued to owners of stallions, and the good demand for breeding stock of the Kansas State Agricultural college herd Indicate an Increased interest over Kansas In pure-bred horses In the opinion of Prof. D. L. Mackintosh of the department of animal husbandry. Licenses Issued so far this year to stallion owners number 150 mure than those given out at the same time In 1924. Within the past ten months the col lege has sold 17 stallions and mares to Kansas breeders. The outstanding Individuals sold from the college herd were the Belgian stallions Colgar and Hazelton Lad. Colgar. winner at the Kansas free fair 111 Topeka, and at the American Royal last year, was sold to W. F. Swafford, Concordia. Hazleton Lad. winner at the free fair, and re serve grand champion at tl#e Kansas state fair, was sold to J. F. Schowner of Miltonvale. Prices for pure bred stock are fair, and the demand Is fairly steady over the state, Professor Mackintosh re ports.

All sy m pto m s left.” the D O A N ’S O dd Fishing Several hundred Indians, including women and children, assembled at Fisher Bay, at the mouth of the Naas rlvqr, In eurly spring, awaiting the ar rival of the oolielmns, aceorillng to word from Prince Rupert, British Co lumbia. The annual run of the fish usually lasts a month. The Indians come from great distances to fish for them through the Ice, and out of the catch they make oollchan grease, which they use In place of butter. In previous years as many as 1,000 of the Indians have assembled at the moutli of the river, but this year there were not more than 300. In proportion to population.
