He threw himself into a chair, de
clined coffee with unnecessary abrupt
ness, and asked for brandy. Myrtlle
with a little pain at her heart, no
Infrequent visitor there, took her place
apart from the others, near Lord Hln
terleys and. spreading out the newt
papers commenced her evening' task.

The world seemed à very good place
to Lady Mary as from the depths of
her chair ander the cedar tree on the
following afternoon, she watched Chris
topher, conducted as far as the terrace
by the butler, descend the steps lightly
and move across the lawn toward her.
Be walked with tbe dignity and as
surance of a man whose life to being
worthily lived. It was a long way
across the lawn, and the girl who
waited for his coming had time for a
crowd of pleasant thoughts as she
watched the approach of the man on
whom she had set her heart. Every
thing that he did and bad done In life
appealed to her. He had aent'nieot
enough—that was proved by the ten
derness for Myrtlle to which be bad
confessed that
-Aight at Monte Carlo, a
night which she l v had always
bered ss one of the anhappiest of her
life. She had long since been con
vlnced. both by his manner and Myc
tile's, that tbe tenderness, such as It
bad been, had become merged In a
purely fraternal and kindly regard. Of
bis reticence toward herself she
thought nothing. He was possessed,
aa she well knew, of a very high sense
of honor, and she had always felt that,
however greatly she might have de
sired to hear his declaration, he would
say nothing until he had passed defi
nitely out of the somewhat miscel
laneous category of rising young men
Into tbe position of one whose future
Is assured. Today he was the young
est K C. and a seat In parliament
was almost within his reach. She
thought of her own fortune with a
deep sense of pleasure. It was larger
than he imagined, larger than any one
else except herself and her father
knew. Christopher would be free to
make the best of himself, free for all
time from any shadow of financial
worry. How well he looked, how
remem
strong and eager! She held out both
her hands sa be drew near, and her
smile of welcome made her for a mo
ment radiantly beautiful.
"How delightful to see you, Chris
topher!" she exclaimed. "And what
wonderful news! It's Just what yon
wanted. Isn't It, and Just what we alt
wanted for yon."
He took her hands and stood smiling
down at her. Her heart was beginning
to beat more quickly. She hoped that
he would suggest walking In the
gardens.
Re did not not sit down, nor did he
suggest the gardens. He had' looked
arennd for a moment, almost as though
disappointed to find her alone. Stilt
her heart did not misgive her. She
thought him a little nervous, and she
smiled tolerantly.
"You were a dear to telegraph to me
at once," she said. "I can't tell you
how Interested and flattered I waa"
"I wanted you all to know," he de
clared, looking around once more.
"How Is «very one?"
"la excellent health, thank you." she
answered. Father is hsvtng his usual
afternoon sleep. Gerald has been
here, but. as I dare say yon know, he
went away this morning. We roust
talk about him later, Christopher.
I am rather worried—but that can

He looked at/lii^-a little apologeti

"Myrtller* Mary repeated.

with a rather engaging smile.
"I wanted to see her and tell her

Monte Carlo that night when they bad
paced the terrace together. She had
refused to take him seriously, and he
had never once reverted to the sabject.

she herself could have helped with

"It is always s treat to see yon shoot.

I was your age. but I could never

"You muon't forget the difference In

yourself at those last two drives."
Lord Hlnterleys mounted his pony
Gerald shouldered his gun and
passed his arm through Uyriile's
"Come .along," he Invited, "we'll go
home through tbe forty-acre wood. It
lab't more than a mile. It seems to
me we've been standing about all day."

assented Joyfully.
"We are all coming presently." Mary
remarked. "Amos Is Just making up

"One tees so little of yon nowadays."
Myrtlle sighed. "You are all the time
In London."
"You're not going to lecture me?"
"That would not be for me," she
said gravely. "If you think It well to be
there. It to well. I am only glad that
von are here today. It has made your
father so happy."
They crossed the meadow and en
tered the little wood. The path here
was so narrow that Gerald took Myr

with emotion.

me about his visit here."
She walked on. her head uplifted,
her face a little tense.
"Y«o?" ahe murmured.
"I'd no Idea." Gerald continued,
"that he was seriously In love with
yon. Myrtlle. He's such a sober sort
of chap really—no lady friends, yon

he takes s fsney to any one. It's s

"He is not like you, Gerald." she
said quietly
"You're quite right, he Isn't," Ger

PRODUCE MORE EGGS
IN WINTER SEASON
"The Badger state's winter egg pro
duction can be Increased very notice
ably per hen by carrying out cer
tain easily followed plana," says O. M,
Johnson, superintendent of the Wto
-onsln College of Agriculture poultry
flocks.
"We have discovered," avers John
ton, "that pullets roust be separated
from the old hens to get the beat pos
sible egg production. If this policy Is
aot carried out, the older bens will
keep the pullets from their feed and
ooas them around so that they do not
have a chance to get full develop
ment."
By letting the pullett run with the
vider fowls, there Is also a great dsu
rer of spreading diseases. This too,
a fatal to eg g production. An under
leveloped pullet or one that is back
ward In her development should be
«old, continues the poultryman. These
pullets, as well as cockerels that are
aot to be kept for spring's breeding,
do not as a rule pay their board.
"Skim milk to one of the greatest
lids In egg production, and It should
ve used to the limit." says Johnson,
'and each pullet should never be with
out plenty of milk, either «our or
iweet." Washing the dish thoroughly
«ach time before feeding Is a precau
tion so as Co guard from disease*
When hens have all the milk they can
drink, very little water Is needed. In
fact It to best, advises the poultryman.
that pultet« do not have water if they
nave all the aklm milk they can drink.
Ht« milk «rill furnish them with wa
ter and at the same time the proteins

Whole cabbages hung up In the
«cratehing pens will fnrntoh flue green
feed, but other greenstuff« also serve
their purpose. Many poultryman make
lie mistake of throwing large amounts
9f green stuffs on the floor where It
lets moldy and dirty.
For tbe mash, which the pullet«
ihouid have access to at all times,
■»qual parts of bran middlings, yellow
comme« I, oats and beef scraps or
tankage has given tbe beet results.

"A dry, welt ventilated hen house
free from mites and lice to Important.
The Utter In the scratch pens should
not be too deep at first as the pullets
do not know how to scratch deep, or
rise will not. Yellow cracked com
«a good a scratch feed as one needs,
but one-third of any other wtaoieaome
grain can also be added."
Ration Recommended for
Making of Winter Eggs
The following ration tor wlntar egg
production recommended by the Mis
souri College of Agriculture, satisfies
the needs of tha bras and Is tconom
leal atJ practical. Daring the past
year It baa been fed on a number of
farms with good results: Scratch
grain—ten pounds of shelled com and
five pounds of dry threshed oats. Dry
mash—three pounds of wheat bran,
three pounds of wheat shorts and one
snd one half pounds commercial meat
scrap.
Where milk to plentiful three gal
lons of skim milk or buttermilk fur
ntohed each 100 hen« daily will take
the place of meat scrap. Either milk
or some form of lean meat must hr
supplied In every ration for eueres»
fui winter egg production. Commer
cial meat scrap can be obtained from
most feed denier* in 100-pound sacks
One ssck will supply protein needed
by 100 hens for more than two months.
Barley or feed wheat may be used In
stead of oats. Commeal or ground
oat» may be substituted for shafts In
tbe mash. Alfalfa meal or clover
leaves may take the place of tbe bran.
A good grade of tankage may be used
Instead of the meat scrap In feeding
this ration all grain should be fed In
deep straw to compel the birds to ex
er rise. The mash should be fed Id
self-feeding hoppers nr troughs and a
supply kept before the bird«. *n ad
dltlon to this ration, bens should have
an abundance of water, a supply of
green food and free access to sharp
grit and crushed oytfer shells or soft
limestone grit. With early batched
pullets, housed comfortably, and fed
this ration, winter eggs are assured.
Plan of Line Breeding
' Line breeding can be done by using
the same ancestry or Mood lines with
careful selection that avoids the bad
effects of Inbreeding. Tbe shade of
difference between tine breeding and
Inbreeding la sometimes very faint.
Breeding the pallets of a mating back
to tbe sire, and one of the cockerels
back to the hen. la a strict line breed
ing, which Is often practiced to estab
lish certain qualities in v strain.
One Nest for Six Fowls
One nest should be provided foi
sack five or six fowls, and even more
.f trap nests are used. Twelve by
twelve inches Is large enough and one
fourth-1 neb mesh hardware cloth ft
»xcellent for tbe bottom Wall nest*
are to be preferred to those located
under tbe dropping platform, but the
wall nests require a top place at an
angle of at least 40 degrees, to pre
vent tbe chickens roosting on them.
