The Thrust of a Lance is scarcely more agonizing than the recur rent pains in the abdomen which follow the eating of improper food or too free in dulgence in ice-water. The immediate cause of cramps and colic is often the dis tention of the bowels by gas. Quick relief follows the use of Perry Datis’ Painkiller.

CHAPTER XXL MOTHER JANE. “Well, well, what did Trohm want hero this morning?’’ cried a harsh voice from amid the tangled walks behind me. “Seems to me he finds this place pretty interesting all of a sudden. ” I turned upon the intruder with a look that should have daunted him. I had recognized William’s courteous tones and was in no mood to endure a questioning so unbecoming in one of his ago to one of mine. But as I met his eye, which had something in it be sides auger and suspicion, something that was quizzical if not impertinent, I changed my intention and bestowed upon him a conciliatory smile, which I hope escaped the eye of the good angel who records against man all his small hypocrisies and petty deceits. “Mr. Trohm rides for his health,” said I. “Seeing me looking up the road at Mother Jane, he stopped to tell me some of the idiosyncrasies of that old woman. A very harmless courtesy, Mr. Kuollys.” “Very,” he echoed, not without a touch of sarcasm. “I ouly hope that is all,” he muttered, with a sidelong look back at the house. “Lucetta hasn’t a particle of belief in that man’s friend ship, or, rather, she believes ho never goes anywhere without a particular in tention, and 1 do believe she’s right or why should he come spying around here just these two days when”—he caught himself up with almost a look of terror —“when—when you are here?” he completed lamely. “I do not think,” I retorted, more angrily than the occasion perhaps war ranted, “that the word spying applies to Mr. Trohm. But if it did, what is there to gain from a pause at the gate and a word to such a new acquaintance as I am?” “ I don ’ t know, ” he still persisted sus piciously. “ Trohm’s a sharp fellow. If there was anything to see, he would see it even from his place down there. But there isn’t. You don’t know of any thing wrong here, do you, which such a man as that, hand in glove with the police as we know him to be, might consider himself to be interested in?” Astonished both at this blundering committal of himself and at the certain sort of anxious confidence he showed in me, I hesitated for a moment, but only for a moment, since if half my sus picions were true this man, above all others, must not know that my perspi cacity was more to be feared than ever Mr. Trohm’s was. “If Mr. Trohm is interested in this house,” said I, with a heroic defiance of ridicule which I hope Mr. Gryce has duly appreciated, “and since a period of two days, I beg leave to call your at tention to the fact that on yesterday morning he came to deliver a letter ad dressed to me which had inadvertently been left at his house, and that this morning he called to inquire how I had spent the night, which, in considera tion of the ghosts which are said to haunt this house and the strange and uncanny apparitions which only three nights ago made the entrance to this lane hideous to one pair of eyes at least, should not cause a gentleman’s son like you any astonishment. It does not me, I assure you. ” He laughed. I meant he should, and, losing almost instantly his air of doubt and suspicion, turned toward the gate from which I had just moved away, muttering: “Well, it’s a small matter to me any way. It's only the girls that are afraid of Mr. Trohm. I am not afraid of any thing but losing Saracen, who has pined like the deuce at his long confinement in the court. Hear him now; just hear him.” And I could hear the low and unhap py moaning of the hound distinctly. It was not a pleasant sound, and I was al most tempted to tell him to unloose the dog, but I thought better of it. “By the way,” said he, “speaking of Mother Jane, I have an errand from the girls to her. You will excuse mo if I speak to the poor woman.” Alarmed by his politeness more than I ever have been by his roughness and inconsiderate sarcasms, I looked at him inquiringly as he left the gate and did not know whether to stand my ground or retreat to the house. I decided to stand my ground, an errand to this wo man seeming to mo a mutter of some interest. I was glad I did, for after some five minutes’ absence, during which he had followed her into the house, I saw him come back again in a state of sullen dis pleasure, which disappeared as he came upon me still standing by the gate. “Ah, Miss Butterworth, yon can do me a favor. The old creature is in one of her stubborn fits today and won’t give me a hearing. She may not be so deaf to you; she isn’t apt to be to wo men. Will you cross the road then and speak to her? I will go with you. You needu’t be afraid. ” The way he said this, the confidence he expected to inspire, had almost a ghastly effect upon me. Did he know or suspect that the only thing I feared in this lane was he? Evidently not, for he met my eye quite confidently. It would not do to shake bis faith at such a moment as this, so calling upon Providence to see me safely through this adventure I stepped into the highway and went with him into Mother Jane’s cottage. Had I had any other companion I would have been glad of this oppor tunity. As it was, I found myself ignor ing any possible danger I might be run ning into in my interest in the remark able interior to which I was thus intro duced. Having been told that Mother Jane was .poor, X. had .expected te .confront fiqualor'ltnd ‘possibIy~fllth, but I never have entered a cleaner place or one in v. liich order made the poorest belong ings look decent. The four walls were unfinished, and so were the rafters which formed the ceiling, but the floor, neatly laid in brick, was spotless, and the fireplace, also of brick, was as deft ly swept as one could expect from the lilt’" scrub I saw hanging by its side. Cron: bed within this fireplace sat the rid woman we had come to interview. Her back was to us, and she looked helplessly and hopelessly deaf. ‘“Ask her,” said William, pointing at her with a rude gesture, “if she will come to the liQU.se at sunset. My sisters have some work for her to do. They will pay her well.” Going toward her, I passed a rocking chair, in the cushion of which a dozen patches met my eye. This drew my eyes toward a bed, over which a counterpane was drawn made up of 1,000 pieces at least of colored calico, and noticing their varied shapes and the intricacy with which they were put together I wondered whether she ever counted them. The next moment I was at her back. “Seventy, ” burst from her lips as I leaned over her shoulder and showed her the coin which I had taken pains to have in my hand. “Yours,” said I, pointing in the di rection of the house, “if you will do some work for Miss Kuollys tonight.” Slowly sho shook her head before burying it deeper in the shawl she wore wre toed about her shoulders. Listening a minute, I thought I heard her mutter: “Twenty-eight, seven, but no more. I can count no more. Go away!” Lot I’m nothing if not persistent. Feeling for her hands, which were hid den away somewhere under her shawl, I touched them with the coin and cried again: “This and more for a small piece of work tonight Come, you are strong; earn it. ’ “What kind cf work is it?” I asked innocently, or it must Lave ap; cared innocently, of Mr Kuollys. who was standing :.t my 1 k. He frowned, all the black devils in his heart ceu..ug into his look at euce. “Kow do I know ! Ask Loreen; she’s the one who sent vie 1 don't take ac count of what goes ou in the kitchen.” 1 begged his pardon, somewhat sar castically I own, and made another at tempt to attract the attention of the old crone, who had remained perfectly cal lous to my allurements. “I thought you liked money,”I said. “For Lizzie, you know, for Lizzie.” But she ouly inuttored in lower and lower gutterals, “I can count no more,” and, disgusted at this failure before William, being one who accounts fail ure as little short of disgrace, 1 drew back and made my way toward the door. “She’s in a different mood from what she was yesterday when she snatched a quarter from me at the first intimation it was hers. I don’t think yon can get her to do any work tonight Innocents take these freaks. Isn’t there some one else yon can call in?” The scowl that disfigured his none too handsome features was a fitting pre lude to his words. “You talk,” said he, “as if we had the whole village at our command. How did you succeed with the lock smith vesterday? Came, didn’t he? Well, that’s what we have to expect whenever we want any help. ” Whirling on his heel, he led the way out of the hut, whither I would have immediately followed if I had not stop ped to take another look at the room, which struck me, even upon a second scrutiny as one of the best ordered and best kept I had ever entered. Even the strings and strings of dried fruits and vegetables which hung in festoons from every beam of the roof were free from dust and cobwebs, and though the dish es were few and the pans scarce they were bright and speckless, giving to the shelf along which they were ranged a semblance of ornament. “Wise enough to kwp her house in order,” thought I, and actually found it hard to leave, so attractive in my WHEN SHAKESPEARE COMES Tht' I.PtlKt'r will I’refU'Ilt Nix |{ft*erve<l Seittn to tli« MoHt I’opiilar Lady In Uaffiit»y.

Ransom, who Is well known in the South on account of his conspicuous work in agricultural mat ters and his connection with the South Carolina department of agriculture, and now with the Southern Cotton Oil Company, as District Manager, at At lanta, Ga., in writing about the influ ence of cotton seed products on the de velopment of dairying in the South, says: ‘‘About 1850, a few wealthy and en terprising Southern planters imported some Devon cattle from England. These were turned loose in cane- brakes vith the native scrubs and al lowed to roam over large areas of wooded country, picking up a precari ous living on the scant pasturage af forded by the woods freshly burned over by the forest fires In the spring. Although widely scattered and a few In number, the prepotency of this breed was so grea. that in many sections the evidence of this infusion of good blood is still visible in the stock. “No well-to-do planter at that time considered that he had milch cows enougb to supply the wants of his fam ily unles he owned at least twenty-five or thirty head. These droves of half wild and half-famished animals were located towards nightfall uy the ring-, ing of a bell hung around the neck of the leader. They were driven to the cow-pen, sometimes miles from where they were found in the woods, a spas modic effort was made to extract milk from them, penned up over night, and a second attempt made upon them the next morning. The ’average yield’ was about one cjuart per cow. "The idea of increasing this produc tion by judicious feeding was hot thought of. This was the rule, but of course there were notable exceptions. People who did not own unlimited acres of land, and who appreciated milk and butter, took better care of their cows, fed them regularly, and allowed them to pasture during the day on their neighbors’ land. This pasturing was more to give them proper exer cise, and keep the .i healthy than to afford them any means of subsistence. To such an extent had the cattle in terests of South Carolina in 1880 depre ciated that the repairs to the farm fence cost more than the value of the cattle in the State, and the probability is that the same was equally true of nearly • th Southern States.” Then ame the “No h>nce Law,” which compelled the owners to fence the cattle instead of the crops. This forced the farmers to own good milch cows, or none at all, as it i, ame too expensive to feed poor stock. About this time, or perhaps a little earlier, appeared the “Jersey” on the scene, a breed of cattle as suited to the needs of those who were “too poor to own a cow, and too proud to milk a goat.” But this beautiful little animal soon demonstrated that she was not a “quitter,” and, furthermore, that she “filled a long felt want ” and, with proper attention, gave rich returns on her cost and keep, and, like the Irish man’s pig that he raised in the cabin with his children, she “paid the rent” as well as the freight. As compared with the Devon, she was smaller in statue and gave less milk, but the pro portion of cream to water in what she did give, far exceeded that of the De von, the Durham, and Holstein, and she promptly became the prime favor ite of s.nall families and butter-mak ers. But she could not live without feed, and butter could not be produced profitably on corn meal, wheatbran, or covvpea diet, nor could it be produced at all on what the Jersey could pick up In the pastures. Nature, always lavish, but president, hid away coal in the earth for ages, only to be uncovered when the world needed it most, pointed the way to the gold fields only when this precious metal was absolutely required for the world’s commerce, and covered from sight the phosphate rock of the Oaro- linas until improvident man had de stroyed the fertility of the fields, like wise she held ^ack the material re quired to make dairying In the South possible and profitable, until condi tions were favorable for Its use. The advent of the Jersey cow cre ated a demand for a cheap and rich food, which the oil mills supplied wi“v hulls and meal. In a list of fifty of the leading feed materials of the Uni ted States, the National Department of Agriculture ranks cotton seed meal first, in feeding value and places the value of cotton seed hulls for the same purpose above the best timothy hay. The use of these products has fully sustained the department’s reports, and dairy farming is fast becoming an industry of importance, and this has been largely the result of the liberal policy of the Southern Cotton Gil Co. of the Carolinas and Georgia, which has headquarters at Columbia, S. C., Atlanta, Ga., Savannah, Ga. and Char lotte, N. C., Goldsboro, N. C., and Au gusta, Ga. Around the large cities In the South, dairies are successfully operated, sup plying the people with wholesome milk, and rich golden butter from cows fed on hulls and meal. The country mills have accomplished the same thing for the farm and small towns. Around the factory towns the small mills make dairying possible, and pro fitable, as the demand from the opera tives is sufficient to consume all t^e milk and butter that can be produced, and the use of meal for fertilizing the land, which is sold reasonably by the Southern Cotton Oil Company, has greatly enlarged the area devoted to truck farming of all kinds. Without oil mill products dairying would be impossible in many sections of the South. The abundance, cheap ness and convenience of the products has already developed the business to an Interesting extent and it is only i its infancy, and its growth will In crease rapidly each year with the steady Improvement In the grade of milch cows. Oleomargarine contains about forty per cent, milk, and the compound is a wholesome product. The establishment of co-operative fac tories for its manufacture In the vi cinity of oil mills where -eflned oil can be had would give a teemendous impetus to dairying in th“ South.
