"Well, this weather makes you feel like lolling around." he remarked. "What on earth do you have to pack so soon for? We're not going till to morrow." "I know, dear, but there's no need "f waiting for the last moment to do things, and I hate to be hurried." "All right, go along—and. for heav en's sake, don't pack the clothes I'm going to wear." Helen laughed as she got up to go. "1 promise, dear." she said laughingly. Warren looked after her as she walked slowly unstairs. Helen had learned to accept the heat philosoph ically and to take her time about do ing things, and consequently she had not minded the heat at all for several ilays. Besides, Warren had noticed a • hange in her that punled him a lit tle. She did not worry him with de tails as much as she used to. and every man at the port was crazy about her. He had taxed her with it sev eral times and she had denied it laughingly. Somehow she seemed different, and anything that was noi easily under stood worried Warren. He wasn't the kind of man who liked the mysterious and aloof woman; in fact, he wasn't the kind of man who wanted his love to bother him. Helen proceeded along the corridor and just because she was happy she picked up Winifred and kissed her in her warm si ented little neck. Winifred squealed with pleasure. Helen put her, down with an injunction to help moth er pack, and then she smiled with i pleasure as Winifred trotted buck and forth with her arms tilled with clothes: from the bureau. She began to fold things and place' them on the bed. All her tllmy lin gerie and Winifred's little underwear were placed in the trunk first with the; shoes and the heavy coats. Then came! her own dresses and Warren's clothes. ■ Warren had bought a linen suit and a Panama hat. and had worn nothing, else since he had been there, and now Helen brought the suit he had worn down, out of the closet and hung it up on the door. She wondered if Warren would like to have it pressed and decided to telephone down to the office and haw them ask Warren to come to the tele phone. Just at that moment the bell rang. and Helen ran over to answer it. l "Hello, dear. I was just going to I send down tor you. Do you want your I suit pressed before we go on the! steamer ?" "I thought so." as Warren assented.! "I'll have it sent right down. Go fori (i drive, why that would he lovely. T j thought you had to go to Gatun on business. All right if you want to be bothered with us. I'm going to send Winifred cown to you. she's nil ready." , » Helen turned and slipped Winifred's little hat over her curls with the elastic under her chin. "Go down and wait, dear." she said, opening the door. "Mother will be |flown in a little while." Then she \ I Porch Work Porches ma'ce or mar the exterior ap pearance of the build ing.

There were two hand ! kerchiefs, a knife, u little change and some letters. She threw them idly on the lied, and as she did the under letter fell out and lay on tho eoun jtcrpafte uncovered. Even from where ,she was standing Helen could seij thu postmark Hindale, X. J., and the feminine superscription. She v.-on jdered if the perfume were still cltng- I ing to it. and her hands grew coid ( and her breath grew short as she (thought of it. The boy knocked at I the door and she handed him the suit (and closed the door with a bang. Then j she went over to the bed and picked up the letter. Certainly she had a I right to read it, she avgued to her • self, and yet she hated to pry into W n rren's a flairs. I Suppose it was from a woman and : the kind of a letter she was afraid jit was. would it make her anv hap pier to read it? Xo, she would be utterly miserable and she knew it. ; Helen was honorable, more so than | the average woman, but then she had been very unhappy about the letter. It had shadowed her entire trip and there were times when she could not get it out of her mind. Somehow, to know the worst even if it were hor rible, would set her mind at rest, and with sudden determination she slipped th«s single sheet of paper out of the envelope. The letter read: "Dear Warren Out here 1 have been trying to bury my identity as much as possible. So far I have not had any luck with the thing you asked me to undertake, but I shall hope to have better news for you soon. Even in a country town there seems to be plenty of hiding places and more than enough prying fingers and big ears. Yours. "RUTH BLACK." Helen looked up with her face a mixture of puzzled relief. At least, it wasn't a love letter, but what was the mystery and the thing Warren had asked her to undertake, and why did she call him Warren? It was all a mystery to any one but those con cerned. and Helen reflected that the letter was written as it was on pur pose to defy detection. She tied the letters up as they were and placed them on the chiffonier, and then she picked lip her hat and veil and went slowly down stairs. "I left the letters that were in your pocket on the chiffonier, dear," she said, watching him closely. "All right, did you finish packing? You were up there long enough to pack for a whole army. Come on; we haven't so much time, and this is our last afternoon." (Another Incident in this Interest ing series will appear here SIHID.) EPWORIH LEAGUES PUIISECOI RALLY | J.

Hopkins | Poultry Judge, Lecturer and Author. COPYRIGHT. 1915. Poultry raisins is becoming more | scientific every day. The demand for I quantity production of cgs« nml table fowl is compelling poultry raisers to I adopt improved methods. He cannot relv wholly <m the whims of a hen or trust to variable weather conditions. To this end. rami invented the incu bator as an artificial hatcher. Then I lie liail to provide for the rearing of young chicks in quantities. Ileiioe the bi-ooderhouse, which will mother the chick- in really remarkable lashioti— : doing practically every tiling but "clucking." The following; article tells how to use these important articles of equip ment. Many of those starting in poultry I raising do not seem to heed the im ! porta nc'' of equipment to the success I of rearing chicks. Incubation has made wonderful pro9T' ?>ss during the last few years. To • Ir' '\ >re are standard machines that ji -i good eggs from strong breed ir . lock will hatch as large a per ce . e as the hen, but the brooder 'ls a different proposition. In the i brooding of chicks lies the cause of | the failure of many beginners and this (has been due to many different things. One of the mistakes that is most com ! mon is the neglect to have proper I brooding capacity, as well as the proper brooder equipment, for the ■ man who wishes to raise only a few i chicks that will mature into winter [egg-producers for family use land | there are thousands of poultry keep ers in this class* the small GO or 100- egg incubator is the proper machine to use in conjunction with two out door or indoor brooders to prflperly care for the chicks. These small brooders are rated from 50 to 65 chicks, but better success will be ob tained when only 50 chicks are placed iin each brooder. Crowding is an evil jthat has caused great loss amoung ! chicks, if not in a death rate, in the I lack of proper development, which | should be studiously avoided. And it i can be avoided by having large enough ! brooder quarters. Better too much I room than too little. Outdoor Brooders j The large size of outdoor brooders i may be used for April and "iv broods. I While they can maintain heat enough ifor early Spring work, the disadvan tage of attending the brooder out of ; doors in the bad weather of early I Spring makes the isdoor brooder I placed in a light colonyhotise the bet i ter method. Two indor brooders with a capacity each of 50 chicks can be ' placed in a titS eolonyhouse. dividing i the two brooders by a low board par tition or wire netting and cutting two ; small openings In the front of the col- I ony house, which allows the two broods to have yard range and yet keeps each brood separate so each hover may contain the proper num ber of chicks. After they have be come old enough to require no artt ; ticial heat, the two broods can run together and the same colony house Jean quarter the growing fowls until j the cockerels are sold, the pullets be ing retained until ready for winter quarters. The ideal colony house to 'quarter 100 chicks is •> feet by 8 feet and 6 4 feet high in front and 5 feet ! high in the rear. This gives head room and plenty of ventilation. Two feet j from the floor the muslin fram * should I start and go up to the plate rail.

[ Brah mas, Dorkings and Indian panics, | which were then the popular fowl. ! These fowls were gradually removed from their great popularity by the very meritorious American breeds of i poultry which were in popular favor {because of their dual purpose quali ties of being good layers and good table fowls at the same time. The former golden stream di verted and almost stopped and Eng lish breeders bad lean years until the late William Cook originated his now famous Orpingtons. These possessed; the merits of being great layers and : good table fowl and compared favor- j ably with our Wyandottes and Ply mouth Rocks. Thev immediately sprang into popu lirity in America, and again the stream of American money tiowed to England l~ " ~ I : dark, stormy days when the muslin i curtains are down. For the poultry keeper who rears more than several hundred chicks uur | ing the season, a different system must ibe used. There are now two systems | iin general use on the poultry. : farms. The older of the two is the | long brooder house with its hot watet | ! system; the other is the long brooder ! house with the newer coal or oil bum? ! ing big hovers. Both have advocates and both improved systems have ac complished good work. The third, but ias yet not so much in general use, is ' the colony system. The coal or oil j and in some cases gas, is used for. i large heater stoves, placet! in a big ■ eolonyhouse brooding from 200 to I 1 800 chicks at one time. This last system has much to recommend it, in- | ! asmuch as it gives the required heat with plenty of ventilation in quartets' j where growing chicks can be aecom- 1 modated until artificial heat is no j | longer required. laid of Brooder Days It is a well-known fact that brooder chicks must sooner or later be taken from the brooderhouse, the time do pending largely on the chick and time l of the year. All brooder chicks, to do | their best, must be taken from the. ! brooderhouse to the colony system on ] i free range. It is here the colony brood ing system shows advantage. The chicks are obtaining the proper heat and above all a better ventilation than i lever secured under the old pipe sys-; j tem. Each chick can seek its own de- j , gree of heat. It need not be too warm | |or too cold. In the eolonyhouse there |is plenty of room and when properly constructed there are no draughts.

WHITE ORPINGTONS By I.ouls Paid (■rnhum for the best product of each of the • several varieties of Orpingtons. Of these the single comb white Or pingtons attained the greatest popu larity, and, indeed, for a time they were bred on a broader scale than any of our American varieties. They are extremely heavy producers of large tinted eggs. The chicks make excel ' i lent table fowls from broiler size (8 ' I weeks old) to maturity. [ These fowls are really excellent gen ! oral purpose fowls —great layers and I good producers in winter, when eggs lure high. The chicks arc rapid grow ! ers and of tine tiesh making, really I delicious table fowls and, when full I grown, weigh from 5Va to BVi pounds i for females and 7 Mi to 8% pounds for : males, and often mor£.

The cost of these eol onyhouses is not great. The popular ; 6<-ft. by 8-ft. is manufactured by sev i oral firms who make a specialty in , poultryhoupes and they can be pur chased from $lB to S2O fully equipped. | The larger 8-ft. by 10-ft. and 12x12-ft. | can be purchased from $25 to S3O. !

SPOTTS, ( urllwlr I S. K. SHKVK, Newvllle ins more popular each year among those poultry keepers who look care fully Into the merits of a good house. They can bo easily built by anyone who Is handy with the saw and ham mer or when the carpenter Is engaged can be put up in good time at less I'ost than those of more complicated design. They can be used to brood the chicks and after that can be em ployed to quarter the growing chicks to maturity. Even then, many, after culling the flock, use the houses to quarter a num ber of winter layers, the size of the flock depending on the size of the col onyhouse, allowing, us a rule, from three to four square feet of floor space to each fowl. Solving Ttroo<ling Question The brooding question can be solved by knowing the number of chicks to be reared and the systems depend largely upon the number of chicks to be hatched and reared. The outdoor brooder has its tise, especially during late Spring, when weather conditions are apt to be fine, hut when the fact is taken into consideration that when the artificial heat is no longer required the growing chicks must be quartered in the colonyhouse, the economic proposition is in favor of the indoor brooder, placed in the colonyhouse in which the chicks can grow to matur ity without change and In which the operator can more easily attend to the chicks in bad weather. With the col onyhouue system, they have more room and surely better ventilation. Novices can depend on these systems to do good work if properly handled with the improved Incubator. With the im provement in brooder construction and commercial poultryhouses now on the market, supplied as cheaply or more so than if homemade, there seems no good reason for the beginner to resort to the fussy hen as either a hatcher or a rearer of future winter egg pro ducers. If the poultrykeeper has not solved the mystery of Incubation the day-old chick can be sent to his door in good shape, to be placed in the up to-date brooder and reared success fully. HOW TO SUCCEED RAISING POULTRY The beginner in poultry raising has many lessons to loarn. He must realise it is a business the same as any other money-making proposition. It requires capital, experience and know-ledge before it can be conducted on a scale large enough to pay. This should not discourage any one from undertaking it. If you have an aptitude for the work you can succeed at it. But work is es sential to success. Head next week's article on the subject. It will ap pear next week exclusively In the Telegraph. *■ Raise Chickens in Your Back Yard Back-yard poultrymen every where are solving the high-coat of-living problem.
