hatred for a bully, but In spite of his
Coarseness, there was a certain fascl
nation .about him which blinded Ros
alia to his real character. They were
married In the whirl of gayety which
befitted the daughter of a multkmll
Ilonalre, and left New-York for Eng
land. Long before the honeymoon
ended Rosy discovered that Nigel cared
only for her money, and nothing what
ever for her pretty, rather shallow
self, and by the time Storaham court
was reached Rosy was desperately
homesick and frightened. Her life
In the little English village, even while
she was the lady of the manor, was
made a nightmare by Nigel and his
mother; and when, bewildered and
terrified, T.osy sought spiritual con
solation and comfort from Mr. Ffol-
liott, the vicar, Nigel accused her of
having a lover. He Intercepted her let
ters, Jled to her about her parents, snd
at last furious at her refusal to ask
her father for money, he struck her
so that she fell In a heap against a
chair, and cried out with a crazy, aw
ful little laughr
Nifrel, be careful ! " Yon don't know
how valuable I am t I might I might
have a son!" . '
Fifteen years passed, and the Shut
tle of Life, weaving back and forth
between the two countries, weaving a
ceaseless web over the ocean, twisted
a thread In the life of Betty Vander
poel that stirred her with the spirit
of adventure that had been born In
her Dutch forefathers, and always a
voice cried out to her to go to Rosy,
to see why the letters from England
had been so few and so unsatisfying.
Betty was a lovely woman of twenty
five, very different from the gawky,
long-legged little school-girl who had
angrily defied Nigel Anstruthers, but
she kept her determination and her
will-power, and booked her passage on
the Mauretanla with a party of
friends. At sea a storm came up that
threatened to send the ship to the bot
tom of the ocean, and, rallying tbe
frightened people who were with her,
Betty had the unexpected assistance
of one of tbe second-class passengers,
a silent gentlemanly Englishman, who
helped -her to keep order among the
passengers, and then as suddenly as
he came, disappeared Into the second
cabin. The storm abated at last and
England was reached In safety, but
Betty did not see the man again.
When Betty reached .Stornham
Court her worst fears were confirmed.
Rosy was changed from a dainty,
pretty, lovable girl Into a faded wreck,
timid and dowdy before her time. Her
son Ughtred, was a .hunchback, and
with the cringing nature of his kind,
tried to hide himself from the world.
Nigel was on a trip to the Riviera, and
his mother had died, which left Ros
alie alone In the Court, which was
tumbling down for lack of repair.
With plenty of money at her call, and
with plenty of courage, Betty set about
her work of transforming Rosalie, and
building up tha house, which soon
changed from a dingy, gloomy pile to
the stately English country house It
should have been. Sha superintend
ed tha repairing of several of the
houses la the village, and one day,
during bar regular drive about Stom
bam. aha went farther and visited the
grounds of the Mount Dunstan estate.
. Mount Dunstan was almost as badly
ta need of help as Stornham. There
was a superstition which had coma
down through the years that the earls
of Mount Dunstan were cursed, and

grounds, - Betty fomd the' man who
had been .the second-class passenger
on the Mauretanla, and assuming from
his dress that he was the keeper, she
talked to him and learned something
of the family of Mount Dunstan. As
she was going, she offered him money,
when to her surprise she learned that
he was the earl. More" annoyed than
confused, Betty forgave him for the
deception, and gradually friendship
sprang np between the two house.
Then, as If to cement -their friend

of G. Selden, the junior salesman for
the Delkoff Typewriter company of
New York, who made Mount Dun

the daughter of Reuben S. Yanderpoel

the faint hope of selling her a type

carried him Into the house and cared
for him, and through his slangy, care
free manner, he unconsciously broke
down the barrier of prejudice that
surrounded Mount Dunstan, and went
back to America happy in the posses
sion of a letter to Mr. Yanderpoel, the
establishment of a longed-for "terri
tory," and the order for six typewrit
ers which were to ba sent to Eng
land. -
The long summer days found Ros

self, and perfectly contented to have

Riviera, and, having exhausted hit re

Rosy fell back Into her old timid ways,
but with a view to propitiating Bet

kindness as he could assume. Every
thing be did was dona with the hope
of making -Betty like him, until be
found that Mount Dunstan, penniless
as he was, loved Betty, and, although
she did not confess It Betty loved him.
Nigel was crafty, however, and bided
his time, until there came a dreadful
scourge of fever that swept the vil
lages and terrified the people. Mount
Dunstan, gave up his home as a hos
pital, and heedless of his own well
bring, he acted as doctor, nurse and
minister, and won rrom everyone the
love and respect that waa his due;
and then, when the fever was abating,

Improperly load their live stock when
sending It to market, and thereby run
great rinks of sustaining serious looses
through crippled or dead animals, say
specialists of the bureau of markets,
United States Department of Agri
culture. With freight' rates at their present
levels there Is a strong temptation to
economize on this Item of expense by
crowding a few more animals Into an
already well filled car. Representa
tives of the department however, who
see thousands of carloads of live stock
unloaded at the great central markets,
are of the opinion that If farmers and
stork men could see the condition la
which much of the live stock reaches
the stockyarda they would be Im
pressed not only with the folly of
overloading, but also with the abso
lute necessity of taking every precau
tion against Injury and death of the
animals while In transit
Overloading is one of the common
est, and at the same time most serious,
mistakes made by the Inexperienced
or careless shipper. It seems such aa
easy matter to crowd just a few mora
ablmals into a 'car, and the fact that
once in a great while an overloaded
car will go through without serious
mishap aeeuis to urge tbe shipper on
to tempt fate just ooc mere. The
wise shipper, however, will have noth
ing to do with this false economy, say
specialists of tbe department Ha
will lay down a hard and faat rule to
load only as many animals In the car
as can ride comfortably, and from
this rule he will not deviate.
The chances of loss through ever-
loading are greater In warm weather
than in cold. Temperatures may ba ,

hogs. The shipper should remember
that stock cars frequently stand la
freight yarda completely hemmed to
by trains of box cars. Under such
circumstances, If the animals are

is hot overheated and dead animals
are almost certain to result
Another mistake frequently made la
to load mixed stock without proper
partitions. When two or more specie
of live stock are shipped In the sama
car they should generally be kept
separate by building strong partitions.
This is particularly Important when
large animals are shipped with smsQer
ones.
It has been found that shipping Uve
animals any considerable dlstsnoe la
an undertaking always fraught with
some risk. This risk however, may
be materially reduced. In the opinion
