ELL, Vincent, I congratulate
you on an excellent
O |/1 T O piece of work. 'Her An?
JliL * swer' is pretty sure to be
?ne tke attractions at
the Academy, old man."
And Frank Errington, who had just
looked in from the next studio to see
Vincent Armstrong's completed picture,
turned to his friend with a pleasant
smile, and shook him cordially by the
hand.
v-* "I'm glad you like the thing," responded
Armstrong, "and I hope it'll
be as successful as you predict. Tbat
v > Is to say, I should hope so if I?if Winifred
forgave me. Otherwise it doesn't
matter?nothing matters."
\ "Winnie hasn't answered your letter?'
Vincent shook his head.
"I hardly expected she would," he
said* gloomily.
"You're unduly despondent, Vincent.
You have been foolish, certainly, but
now that my cousin has learned from
v your letter exactly what took place
between you and Angela Weir I'm confident
she's not the sort of girl to remember."
"She did once," replied Vincent; "but
now it may be different. You may be
certain Ralph Weir has painted my
conduct in the blackest colors, -or Winnie
would never have written me the
reproachful letter she did. I'm dreadfully
afraid that in spite of my reply
she still believes his exaggerations."
"I don't see why she should, now that
you've explained the matter. By the
way," he added, after a moment's
pause, "I've been wondering why Weir
should have called upon you last
week?'
"So have I, Frank; but I think he
wanted to learn what had happened
between me and Winnie, and also
whether I had done anything big for
the Academy. You see, he hates me,
and?"
jae was uuerrupiea uy a iuuu.
at the street door below, and, rising
from bis chair, left the studio to answer
the summons. A minute or two
later be re-entered, crying joyously, as
be banded bis friend a telegram:
"You were rigbt, after all, old fellow.
' Bead that"
Errington obeyed, reading the following
message:
"Am in London with mother. Must
see you. Have three upper-box seats
His Majesty's to-night. Meet us outside
entrance at 8. All well.
"WINNIE."
" 'Her AnswerH " exclaimed Frank
with a glance at the picture standing
on the easel in front of them. "Really,
iVincent, you're not unlike the man
you've depicted on that canvas. His
doubts have been set at rest by a letter?yours
by' a telegram. This is the
main difference between you. Well,
old fellow, I'm delighted?delighted!"
- ; II.
Some three hours later?just after 7?
Errington, who had long since returned
to his own studio, was engaged on a
sketch for an illustrated paper?for he
was a J<black and white" man?when
Vincent Armstrong, dressed to go out,
put his head In at the door to bid his
friend "Good evening."
"And, by the way, Frank," he said,
"I shall have to bother you for your
latchkey once more, for I haven't found
my own yet. It's strange that it hasn't
turned up before this. Why, I first
missed it from its accustomed nail behind
the door the day after that man
[Weir was here."
"Well," replied the other, "you're welcome
to mine. I shan't be going out
till I go home at y, ana i aare say you
' .won't mind coming down to let me in
In the morning."
"Oh, no!" said Vincent, with a laugh,
as he took the key. . "I shall have been
np hours before you arrive, I expect."
Eighteen months before, when on a
sketching tour with Frank Errington,
the latter had introduced him to his
cousin, Winifred Alston, whose father
was the leading solicitor in the pretty
Hertfordshire town of Canthorpe. The
result of this introduction had been
that when, some weeks later, he returned
to London' he was practically
an engaged man.
He got off the 'bus at St. Martin's
Church, and reached the theatre just
before 8, eagerly scanning the people
who had already arrived at the upper
circle entrance. His friends were not
among them, however, nor were they
to be seen when the hour struck and
the doors were flung open. For the
next half hour he stood there watching
the fresh arrivals who came in everincreasing
numbers as the time for the
commencement of the play drew nearer.
His vigil went unrewarded, however,
and at 9 o'clock he began to fear
that something must have prevented
Winifred from coming.
L Weary and disappointed, he went
! straight back to bit studio, and, having
let himself in, raised the gas and
flung himself on a chair. Then he
glanced up at the easel on which he
had left his picture, and noted with
amazement that the curtain he had
thrown over it had been disturbed.
The next moment he bounded forward
with a cry of despair?the picture, his
great picture, was unrecognizable.
Some one had taken a brush and absolutely
covered the canvas with black
paint. Trembling in every limb, he
staggered backward to a small table,
on which, for the first time, he noticed
a lady's visiting card.
"Miss Winifred Ashton," he read, and
then the full horror of the thing burst
upon him. " 'Her answer!' " he gasped,
" 'Her answer!'"
And with a long, vacuous laugh he
ran from the room, stumbled down the

remembering no more.

Vincent Armstrong stirred slightly as
he opened his eyes upon the May sun*
shine, then gave a deep sigh.
Finally he asked in a feeble voice:
"Where am I?"
"Hush," replied Frank Errington,
who sat by his bedside, "do not talk,
and I will tell you all. You have been
very, very ill, old fellow, and you are
in my father's house. I brought you
here in a cab one night, when?when
I met you just outside your studio. A
lucky meeting it was, too," he added,
cheerfully, pausing to note the effect of
his words.
"Yes, yes," whispered the other, "I remember.
The picture! Winnie sent
me a telegram to get me out of the way,
and then spoiled my picture. It was
her?"
He broke off with a half sob.
"You are trebly^ wrong, Vincent, as
you shall hear, though exactly how I
discovered some of the facts will keep
till later. It is sufficient to say that
one of the fellows in the next pair of
studios to ours supplied. me with
enough evidence to wring a confession
out of the man who had stolen the key
of your studio, who sent you the telegram
purporting to come from Winnie,
but whose intention of injuring your
picture was happily thwarted- in an extraordinary
manner. As a matter of
fact, your picture is one of the sue
ces9es of the Academy."
"Yon?you mystify me, old man."
But Vincent's voice was stronger, and
there was a new and eager look in his
eyes.
"Well, what happened was this:
Shortly after you had left to keep the
bogus appointment at the theatre there
was a knock at our front door, and I
was astonished at opening it to find
myself confronted by Winifred herself
and her mother. They had come up
from Canthorpe that afternoon on a
flying visit to town; they had to get a
train back in half an hour, and their
cab was waiting outside. Winnie had
brought a picture which she had painted
which she wanted your opinion on
?a capital copy of a Corot, though, of
course, of small intrinsic value. Well,
we took it into the studio, and?to make
a long story short?I placed it on the
easel to get a good view of it, removing
yours, which was much the same size,
by the way, to a corner of the studio.
Ten minutes later Winnie and her
mother left, Winnie writing a brief

message xvi juu uu ??
visiting card. They had, of course, had
no intention of visiting His Majesty's,
and I thought it would make them
uneasy if I told them of the telefcram
you had received, so I merely said you
were out Shortly afterward, leaving
Winnie's picture on the easel, I went
home, returning an hour later to await
your coming, and talk matters over.
"I've already told you how we met,
and it only remains for me to say that
while I was away from the studio
Ralph Weir, who'd watched me out,
but was really quite ignorant of Winnie's
visit to London, let himself in
with your key, and damaged what he
thought was your picture. And now,"
concluded Frank, "will you please excuse
me a minute? I want you to see
?your nurse."
Efe hurried from the room, and Immediately
afterward there entered?
Winnie.
Slowly she came forward to the bedside,
and almost before Vincent had
murmured the one word '-forgive" in
tender, loving tones, she spoke "her
answer."?New York News.
Five Tears In Hli House.
'A French count was kept prisoner in
his own house in Paris for five years.
His jailors were his two servants, who
wanted his property. The nobleman
is Count de Sampigny d'lssoneourt
He is sixty years old. His servants
were an old man and his wife, who
had been in the count's service for
twenty years. When the police broke
into the house a few days ago they
found the count and the two servants.
The count declared that the couple
had kept him in a constant state or
terror, and had prevented him from
leaving the place. They had further
compelled him to take doses of ether,
and to make out a will leaving to them
the whole of his property, the estimated
value of which is over $300,000.
Ail Act of God.
Judge John C. Pollock, of the Kansas
Federal Court, now sitting in Kansas
City, Kan., gave an opinion the
other day in the case of the Empire
and Minnesota cattle companies to recover
$50,000 from the Santa Fe Railway
for the loss of cattle during the
flood of 1903, in which he decided in
favor of the railroad company, holding
that the flood was an act of God, and
| that all persons whose property was
destroyed thereby must bear the losses
alike. The opinion is considered by
I lawyers to be of much importance in
the flood suits now pending in both
Federal and Wyandotte County courts.

To Import Mill Labor.
According to a news item, the presidents
of the cotton mills of Spartanburg
county have formed an association,
the purpose of which is to import
mill labor into the county that
the mill communities might be peopled
with first class help. It is believed
that the association will be eventually
widespread and that the presidents
of cotton mills In other sections of the
state and the Piedmont country will
co-operate in the movement for there
is a great scarcity ot labor at this
time and in order to carry on the work
it has been necessary to import labor
from the mountain districts.of North
^Carolina. . The I^bor from that state
is provfhg* a&tisfactory to the local
j mills. Of course at the first they are
! through inexperience green but possessing
intelligence after a few weeks
become skilled in the work.
The time waus when there was no
j difficulty in securing mill operatives,
but during the past few years cotton
mills have been built so rapidly that
it has been impossible to secure the
required number of operatives. The
farms in the county have furnished
considerable help, hut only a certain
per cent of the people in the county
are willing to take up mill work and
leave the farms and this proportion
has long since become exhausted and
now the mill owners must look elsewhere
for their supply of laborers.

Italian Ambassador Visits South.
The Baron Edwardo des Planches,
ambassador of Italy at Washington,
spent last Sunday hi Charleston and
vicinity, having come to South Carolina
to look over the truck lands In
view of the agitation for Italian immigration
in this section. In company
with Mayor Rhett, M. V. Richards, of
the Southern railway, Italian Consul
Sottile and Captain Jean Montet, of <
the French cruiser Troude, now in
port, fihe ambassador was taken out
to see the splendid truck farms near
the city. A trip to the famous Magnolia
gardens was made and a lunch
enjoyed at the Charleston hotel, ot
which the distinguished visitor was
given much valuable information.
The ambassador left Sunday night
for Atlanta, wfcither he went on the
same minion to Georgia.
There have already been several
Italian colonies located in Georgia for
agricultural purposes, and thus far
the colonies give promise of great success.
.
The advent of Italians into the
southern states of America has aroused
the attention of their government
and Ambassador des Planches as a
result comes to see with his own eyes
the lands that are tempting his countrymen
to leave their own historic
soil.

Tig raising is, no doubt, a very profitable
business where cheap food can
be had from city garbage, else so
many of the extensive farmers near
the cities would not persist in swine
breeding year after year; so well, in
fact, does the business pay that the
nearby farmers sometimes express
wonder that more is not done in the
pig raising line on the back farms,
where the food can be raised very
cheaply and the swine pastured a good
part of the time, and all without the
annoyance to neighbors sometimes
caused in thickly settled districts. A
good market can be found almost anywhere
for young pigs of common
stock, while pure-breds can be sold at
correspondingly better values by those
who have the knack of working up a
trade in such lines.
Soil Feeding Experiment*.
Two years' experiments at the Oregon
Station gives the following results:
Twenty-five bogs and seventeen
head of cattle have been kept
from the middle of May to the middle
of August on a very small acreage of
ground. Crimson clover was first fed
to the herd, then a first crop of alfalfa
was used, followed by peas and green
oats. After this a second crop was
fed, and last a third crop.
An account of the cost for cutting
and feeding has been carefully kept,
which has aggregated three cents per
cow. Based on present prices the income
from the dairy products during
this period is expected to be $284.20.
This shows that by soiling any farmer
can make up for the want of pasture
for a long, dry summer period.
At the same time he will be enriching
the land, for the nitrogen in the growing
plants will save him the purchase
of the necessary fertilizers, in order to
produce the same results.?L. A. N., in
Tndiana Farmer.
Stirring Cooking Food.
Where more or less food for stock is
cooked, some handy way of stirring it
ought to be devised. Of course, the
I old-fashioned ladle, or the great wooden
spoon, is always available, but if
the quantity is large, to use these instruments
means aching arms and
shoulders. A stirrer which will save
much labor is readily made in the following
manner: Make a shaft of a
strip of wood two inche3 thick and
long enough so that it will qstend
three or four inches above the top of
the kettle. At the bottom of this shaft
make paddles by crossing two thin
boards two or three inches wide.
Fasten a crank to the top of the
shaft, and to this crank fasten a pole,
or not as preferred. Then prepare a
strip of board six or eight inches wide,
bore a hole through the middle,
through which to pass the shaft match
both ends to fit over the handle of the
kettle and at one. end fix a slide and a!
set screw to hold it in place. If the
cooking of the food for stock is done
away from the house, as it ought to
be, one should build a fireplace of
bricks and cement in which to set the
kettle. The illustration shows both
the fireDlace. or not. as suggested,
and the plan for making the stirrer,
and it will be seen that it is comparatively
easy to arrange the device
, as suggested.?Indianapolis News.

| It is believed that in waterglass we
have a preservative which will, when
used for preserving eggs, give better
satisfaction than any other method
available for those who desire to keep
eggs for any great length of time.
Eggs put down by this method have
kept for three to nine months, and the
eggs have some out in better condition
than by any other method tested.
When strictly fresh eggs only have
been put down, at the end of six
months they have invariably come
out in better shape than the average
market eggs supposed to be fresh.
Use pure water that has been thoroughly
boiled and then cooled. To each
ten quarts of water add one quart or
slightly less of waterglass. When the
heavy jelly-like solution is used, threefourths
of waterglass will be ample.
The solution maj be prepared, placed
In the jar and fresh eggs added from
time to time until the jar is filled, but
be sure that there are fully two inches
of waterglass solution to cover the
eggs. Keep the eggs in a cool, dark
place, well covered to prevent evaporation.
A cool cellar is a good place in
.which to keep the eggs. If the eggs
are kept in too warm a place, the silicate
is deposited and the eggs are not
properly protected.
Do not wash the eggs before packing,
for by so doing you injure their keeping
quality, probably by dissolving the
mucilaginous coating on the outside
of the egg. For packing use only
perfect eggs, for stale eggs will not
be saved and may prove harmful to
the others.
All packed eggs contain a little gas,
and in boiling such eggs they will
crack. This may be prevented by
making a pinhole in the blunt end of
the eggs.
To do this hold the egg in the hand,
place the point of a pin against the
shell of the egg, and give a quick,
sharp blow, just enough to drive thopin
through the shell without Injury
to the egg.?North Dakota Station.
Good Work With Hand Separators.
The method of separating cream by
hand machines on the farm and collecting
it for the creameries is becoming
very popular in some regions and
seems likely to supersede the old plan,
of taking the whole milk to the factory.
The advantages of the plan are very
evident. The farmer is saved the daily
trip to the creamery, an item which
represents considerable time, and at
certain times of the year great inconvenience.
He has the fresh skimmilk
to use for calf feeding, free from being:
mixed with other milk, which may.
be soured or contaminated with germ*
of disease, and from neglected or badly
kept herds, and the milk is in the best
possible condition for production of
veal. ' By
running a route through the- ' .
cream district the collection can all
be done by one. man, thus providing
the farmer a market for his cream at
his own door. These advantages are
so evident that farmers are demand- '3
ing the convenience and insisting on
being relieved from the need of hitching
up a team to haul the milk every)
day.
The defects of the plan are such a*
to have prevented the change in somedistricts.
The main trouble is the
lack of uniformity in the cream. Some
farmers with little experience with
modern dairying or the use of separa-., ,
tors fail to exercise the care needed In
clean milking, a clean room for the
separator, cooling the milk and separating
it while it is fresh.
The problem of making the system
a success Is that of educating the producers
to separate the milk under thebest
conditions and to have the cream .
collected regularly and frequentlyCream
collected once or twice a week
is unfit for use, but the successful
routes collect at least four times a
week. Some creamery managers ln? ^
sist that the main trouble is the failureto
keep the cans clean. These managers
give special attention to deliver- |
ing the cans perfectly, clean and sweet;
having a double set of cans and leaving
them at each farm all ready to use.? v'.|

Silage ts. Grain.
The object of this experiment was to . Q
determine whether silage might not
be substituted for a considerable portion
of the grain usually fed to dairy; . . ^
cows. Two rations were fed carrying /M
practically the same amount of dry
matter. In one ration over fifty per
cent, of this dry matter was derived
from silage and less than eighteen ;}M
per cent was derived from groin. ^'181
In the other ration over fifty-seven
per cent of the dry matter w^s d^- -.
rived from grain, no silage being fed*
Ten cows, representing five different jgj
breeds, were fed these rations from
two to four months, five cows taking ?
the test the foil four months.
The cows fed the silage ration pro- ;
dnced 96.7 pounds of milk and 5.08
pounds of butter fat per hundred
pounds of dry matter.
The cows fed the grain ration pro* - ,
duced 81.3 pounds of milk and 3.9
pounds butter fat per hundred pound*
of dry matter.
The cost of feed per hundred pound*
of milk was $0,687 with thd silage
ration and $1,055 with the grain ration.
The cost of feed per pound of
butter fat wag 13.1 cents with the '
silage ration and 22.1 cents with the
grain ration.
The average net profit per cow per:
month (over cost of feed) was $5,864 ^
with the silage ration and $2,465 with |j
the grain ration. 4
Comparing the average daily product J
of each cow for the entire test with hear
average daily product for the month
previous to the change in ration (op ?
the first month of their test in the
case of two cows), the cows fed the- i
silage ration shrank 2.84 per cent in
mHt ami mined 1.89 Der cent in butter >-'
fat production. The cows fed the |jj
grain ration shrank 9.11 per cent in
milk and 14.18 in butter fat production.
Upon the conclusion of the experiment
each lot of cows was found to - J
have gained in live weight: The silage; * |
fed cows an average of 47 pounds per
head, the grain fed cows an average ~ sof
57 pounds per head. ~
The facts herein reported seem to
justify the conclusion that silage can be
made to take the place of a considerable
portion of the grain ration. It . |
is believed that by growing more of
the feeds rich in protein?clover, al^ilfa,
soy beans, cowpeas, field peas, ^
vetches an<jl ensoillng them, or feeding
them as hay, it will be possible to fur- .
ther reduce the amount of grain feed.
