"Warren, hadn't I better pack this
afternoon?" said Helen as they stroll
ed into the lobby and Warren dropped
lazily into an easy chair.
"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

| The Strange Letter Again Comes to
View
j She picked up the suit of clothes
■and began to take the things out of
the pockets. 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."

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

small window of glass mav lie placed

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH
In the early days of fancy poultry 1

' money were annually sent to Kngland
| for tho best it produced in Cochin.!
[ 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.

: 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. The |
cost is less than in the long brooder-

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£. They make
j excellent capons, are docile and easily
I confined. Tests have shown that white
j Orpingtons are profitable either as a
! farm flock with unlimited range or for
the small back-yard flock, where the
ground space is necessarily small.

; greater. The chicks may have unlim
-1 ited run if desired. The colonyhouse
]is one that can be moved to new
■ ground if found necessary, whereas
jthe long brooderhouse was stationary.
; There is no danger of sour runs and
1 it seems to be the Ideal system for the
| one-man or the two-man plant.
Iv&rge Colonyhouscs
j The smaller brooder stoves will fit
nicely in the Bxlo-ft. colonyhouse with
la 7-foot high front and 5-foot high
rear; 10-ft. by 10-ft. and 12-ft. by
12-ft. eolonyhouses are also used with
! good results. 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.
! These are not cheap makeshift poul-
I try houses, but whether bought or built
I for that money should last a long time,
especially if painted. To stand the
weather test, all poultry buildings,
when not covered on the outside with
some of the prepared roofing papers,
1 should have at least two coats of good
I paint applied.
All poultry keepers seem to have
| their "hobbles" as to the proper kind
!of a poultryhouse to use and when
I the average beginner sees so many
' different styles advocated he is often at
I a loss as to which one to adopt or as
to which brooding system is best for
I him.

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.
