OF INTEREST TO THE WOMEN A GIRL AND A MAN A New and Vital Romance of City Life by Virginia Terhune Van de Water CHAPTER XVII (Copyright, 1916, Star Company) Agnes Morley had come downtown with a sense of nervousness on the of the day on which Philip Tlale -was to enter his father's em ploy. She feared that she would find it a little hard at first to become ac customed to the young man's prox imity, and yet to give no> sign of her previous acquaintance with him. She had, during the days that \had passed since the episode of her dic tation for Mr. Bainbridge, grown ac customed to her new position. Things had gone smoothly. She had been surprised and relieved to note that the junior member of the firm, on meeting her going Jn or out of the office, simply bowed pleasantly, as he might have bowed to another man, only with more deference in his manner. Could stic have mis judged him entirely? Her faith in her own intuitions was shaken by this man's demeanor. Mr. Hale had been busy and had treated her in the businesslike way that she had been prepared for. She liked it .too, for she understood now just what her duties were, and she took a pride in performing them with the precision of the machine to which she had likened herself, but also with an intelligence which she hoped might soon rank her above the ordinary secretary. She did not expect praise from Mr. Hale. Yet he uttered an occasional curt word of commendation that thrilled her with satisfaction. Now that Philip was coming down! here could matters be just as they I had been. They must be they should be, she told herself. Fortunately the young man's desk was not to be in his father's private office, but next to the room occu pied by Mr. Bainbridge in a kind 1 of railed-in enclosure. Like a Sheep Pen "Just like a sheep pen," Philip had j said in telling her of it on the Sun day night on which he called upon her. "But I can look over the bars) at you when you pass through the I outer office. And I hope that my father will send for me often. I j will actually, for the first time in my j life, welcome his giving me orders," he added. She had laughed, yet the words j made her a little uneasy. She hoped J that he would be very discreet, very J unobservant of her when he chanced j to be in her presence. She had this morning, as was her habit, arrived at the office a few I minutes before nine. Annie Rooney had met her in the outer room and greeted her genially. "Hallo:" she had said. "I've hardly seen you for the last few | days. I guess Mr. Hale's kept you j busy, hasn't he?" "Yes," Agnes rejoined. "He has been very busy himself, you know." "X guess business must be boom-1 ing," Annie opined. "And I under stand that his swell college son's! coming down to help things along> for the' Summer months. Had you j heard of that?" "Yes," Agnes answered with well feigned indifference. "I had heard i 5f it."

X guess there's no danger of the kid's head being turned by old hard-face for all he's so near his office. By the way, has the fat geezer asked you to do any more work for him?" "No, he has not," Agnes replied. "I fancy he really could not help himself the other day for his letters had to be done at once. Mr. Hale told me 1 was right to do them for him. 1 was sorry 1 had made such a fuss about It." "Say, you're too dead easy!" Annie warned her. Then, as Agnes turned away, "So long, let's go out to lunch together. Don't linger-longer-Lucy in the office the way you generally do at noontime. Meet me outside as soon as the boss goes out to feed, will you?" "Yes, X will try to," Agnes prom ised. She had been in Mr. Hale's office but a minute when her employer entered. He was evidently in a hurry. Mr. Hale in a Hurry "I have an appointment in a little over an hour," he informed her. "So I must rush through with my mail." She worked rapidly, almost breathlessly. Where was Phil? When would he come in? The oft recurring wonder increased her nervousness. It was ten o'clock when her ques tion was answered by the opening of the office door. As Philip Hale entered his father glanced up from his let ters. "Ah, son," he greeted him. "Did you see that man on your way downtown?" "Yes, I did." PhiUp replied. "He will attend to the matter immedi ately." "Good. Well, you can go out to your office. I will be with you in a few minutes. What was that last sentence. Miss Morley?" he asked brusquely. "Hurry!" he added, as the girl hesitated. Before Agnes could reply, the young man spoke. "Good morning, Miss Morley!" he said. "Good morning." Agnes faltered, surprised at his salutation. She bent over her pad again, and Philip started to leave the room, but his lather checked him. "Hold on, Phil!" he said. "I did not know that you knew Miss Morley." "Yes, I know her," the young man said. His tone was almost aggres sive. The girl knew intuitively that he resented his father's abrupt manner of speaking to her. She must save the situation. ' "Yes. Mr. Hale, you introduced Mr. Philip Hale to me on the first day that I was in your employ," she said quickly. "That last sen tence was 'the contents of your let ter have been duly noted.' " "Yes, I remember," Mr. Hale re joined. "That's all right, Phil. I'll see you in a few minutes." As the door closed behind Philip. Agnes drew a breath of relief. His coming had been even more em barrassing than she had feared.

White Orpington was the second variety of this famous English all-purpose fowl to be originated. The late William Cook, who originated and exploited all varieties of the Orping tons, began on the S. C. White variety about 1880. They were a combina tion of S. C. White Leghorn, Hamburg and White Dorking blood, and aftei much effort and selection they were finally introduced to the public about ISB9. They had large sales in all coun tries, and were introduced into the United States after the Blacks and Buffs. Allt he Orpingtons were slow to take with the American fanciers until Mr. Cook himself came to the New York Show with several birds on a lecturing campaign. Many bought and the craze for Orpingtons soon spread. His successive visits and his establishment of a farm in New Jersey What It Is, How to Know It, and How to Treat It Suddenness of Attack, Limp Neck, Complete Collapse and Death Mark Its Vic tims By MYRA KELSEY COX Experienced Poultrywoman Ptomaine poisoning among fowls, caused by the eating of putrid flesli is commonly known as "limbomeck." Be cause of its similarity to other disease It is frequently tonfounded therewith. Prevention, In the form of careful dis posal of dead tilings, is more sure than cure. Limbemeck, exhibits fowls in sutHclently supplied with animal food. Most poultry diseases are infectious. | Roup, cholera and all their kindred j run through flocks and pens with fatal | surety. The ordinary poultryraiser, ; too busy to investigate their pathology, wastes no time searching for germs, j He is too much occupied in combat* j ting their activity. Occasionally ; among such malignant visitations he may note a mysterious ailment. It ! comes unheralded, strikes down the j healthiest in a night, may count one j victim or a score and may subside as i quickly. To his unacquainted eye, it ! looks like a bona fide imitation of ; cholera quite as fatal with less laggard i a course. It is very likely to be an : example of "limberneck," a term less elegant than truly descriptive of the i disease. Here, if it be of comfort to the poultry-keeper's heart, is a dis | case paradoxical in practice. It may appear repeatedly in one season, yet ;it neither disseminates germs nor necessitates the use of germicides. "Limberneck," properly speaking, ; is a species of ptomaine poisoning in fowls. It seems to be a menace more common to the poultryyard of to-day than of the past. Chickens, turkeys, guineas, or ducks may succumb, with the last two more susceptible. This i ratio is attributed to the more de veloped carnivorous needs of the lat ter fowls. Appetite dictates a craving, i and in the endeavor to satisfy it, they ! fall victims. When the required sup ; ply of insect food fails, the fowls fall ; upon the substitute next at hand, whence all the mischief. "Limberneck" is distinctly a warm j weather disease. It never appears tn , cold weather. Sometimes it claims a | single victim: again it may devastate a ; poultryyard, sparing neither chicken, 1 duck nor guinea. This eccentricity ' makes it the more peculiar, unless it j is understood. Identifying the Disease I The symptoms are unmistakable. [The practical observer, noting them, ; will avoid the mistake of treating for | apoplexy, cholera, or dysentery. The victim may be found in one of two stages. Usually the collapse is sud den. The healthy hen of last night lies prostrate this morning in a cor ner of the chickenhouse, with rumpled feathers, closed eyes and outstretched spineless neck (whence the name of the disease). In a few hours, or per haps a day or two, she dies, never hav ing moved. The ravenous gawky ducks of the noon-time meal, at night creek or flop homewards, as if hurt across the back. It has happened that a Muscovy duck and her brood of fourteen well at daybreak were dead at night of this trouble. Not every at tack is fatal If the poisoning is mild, the fowl affected appears to be suffering with an injured back. It staggers weakly, eyes half-closed and tail depressed. Naturally it evinces no interest in food, for it has almost lost the ability to swallow. Diarrhoea is present, but the comb and wattles retain the scarlet of health. Such a case may recover. Young ducks have j survived after such an attack, to sue- i cumb to a second. The half-shut eye is symptomatic of the lightest attack. A general paralysis seizes the fatally stricken and it lies in a coma till death. No (rerm may he indicted for this condition. The fowls affected have fed on putrid flesh or on insects eating: thereof, which include the larvae of flies, known as maggots. Ptomaine poisoning ensues, with the same utter prostration manifest in the feathered unfortunates that characterizes a human being so smitten. Hence the prevalence of this disease during the warm months. Fowls, particularly weak little ones, dying in obscure places, furnish the material for in fection. Especially on farms where poultry runs at large »s it difficult at all times to find these carcasses which may be the result of accident. The added to the rapidly spreading interest in the variety. The S. C. Whites were probably advertised and exploited more than all the other varieties com bined and they soon became leaders. The Single Comb White Orpington is a large fowl. They have large combs, white bills, lees, feet and skin and of course white piumage. The latter was the most difficult feature, since the males almost all showed a little brassiness. The White Orpington has a reputa tion for being a splendid layer. They lay tinted eggs, and like the American general purpose fowls, will become broody, sit, lip.toh and rear cnicks. The chicks develop rapidly, making splen did table po.ultry from broiler size on up to maturity. At the latter time they weigh from 8% to 10 pounds for the males and 7 to 8 pounds for the females. warmer the air, the quicker the decay. Energetic fowls in their search for food discover them to their own dis aster. Sometimes the first cause may be due to the poultryraiseW own carelessness. After the disease ap pears, victims lying in remote or hid den spots provide new infection, set ting up an endless chain whose opera tion can only be checked by vigorous, thorough search on the part of the owner. Manifestations of Its Work Occasionally there is great havoc from disease on duck farms. It is usually limberneck, to they are especially prone. Ducks confined in large numbers on limited space crave the animal food demanded by their nature. If their ration lacks this im portant feature of their diet, they will supply it at the first opportunity. Voracity and a tendency to scavenger ing prove their undoing. Unless every dead duck is found before its body be comes a temptation to the survivors, the disease is rampant. • A successful turkey raiser of some years ago used to relate an experience bearing on this subject. Her turkeys over a hundred in number and about two and one-half months old, came home one day at night-fall, staggering and choking. That night many died. Others followed in the next succeeding days. Being a person of energy not to be fazed by a disagreeable duty, she performed a post-mortem to discover the mysterious ailment that had rob bed her of her season's work. In the turkey crops she found numbers of long, ugly black beetles. Pursuing her investigation further, she walked to the lower field, the goal of their daily loutine. Here on the edge of a marsh lay the poorly-buried carcas of a calf, swarming with the black beetles. The farmhand's carelessness had play ed havoc with her flock, and she had learned a valuable, but dearly-bought, lesson. ! A raiser of guineas opened the door ;of their house one dry, hot August morning. No eager, fluttering, hungry i young creatures welcomed her. Thirty of the hundred with one of the foster t mothers lay prostrate on the floor or roosts, head dangling, necks limp, wings spread. She knew the trouble. An investigation began. In the ex treme end of the orchard, a dead goose I buried in the dusty soil a week before, ! had been disinterred by stray dogs. In their craving for the carnivorous, the guineas had feasted and paid the pen alty of their appetites. Castor Oil ami Turpentine Treatment Sometimes fowls recover. Nine tenths die. Only one of the guineas survived, reaching a stunted maturity. There is little satisfaction in treating fowls suffering with limberneck. The : object Is to flush the digestive tract to rid it of any poisonous matter yet unassimilated. If the fowl is not in total collapse, the best practical treat ment, out of a number of things tried, seems to be a dose of one-half tea spoonful castor oil, followed with a few drops of turpentine on dampened meal. These doses must be given for cibly as the throat muscles seem par tially paralyzed. The most effectual treatment is the ax, with a safe dis posal of the body. The first trans gression of fowls eating tainted fish is usually dictated by a lack in their diet, the same instinct that causes hens to eat eggs. I am inclined to think that later it becomes an obession with them much as the feather-eating habit of which we sometimes hear. Poultry raisers read in every case of limber neck among their flocks the admoni tion to supply plentifully animal food in some form, such as curd, sour milk, beef scrap, etc. In the days of small flocks, fowls secured sufficient for themselves; the modern habit of con centration of large numbers within small limits imposes the necessity of catering scrupulously to the funda mental needs of poultry. Neglect will certainly claim its toll. The Ounce of Pro\ out ion Many fowls on small premises either penned or at liberty, are endangered. A large range, allowing fowls to sup ply themselves naturally in their rov ing, acts as a preventative. In any event, it behooves the poultry-keeper, whether the poultryyard be up-to date or merely adjunctive to the farm, to dispose safely of all dead fowls, small or large. This applies to all de composing matter. A dead baby chick can start the ball a-rolllng. Rurning is better than burying. Sanitation and the health of the fowls demand this care. If precaution be strictly ob served, limberneck, at least, will not vex the poultrykeeper's soul. The production of fancy table eggs and their sale to a private trade in sealed cartons is one of the most profitable branches of the poultry industry. In next week's icle Prof. Frank C. Hare describes this important subject. AUGUST 19, 1910. The United Government Says— Many brands of Portland Cement are on the market.

Haskin [Continued From Editorial Pago] garded railways and telegraph lines with, all the fear and hostility that might have been expected from them. They offered no appreciable opposi tion because they had been trained for centuries, as no other people ever have been trained, in the custom of yielding to authority. The relation of every rank to every other rank was fixed and ironbound. Retainer owned allegiance to his lord, and the lord bowed to the mandate of his over lord. At the head of the complex sys tem stood the Mikado, whose word was law. When that word went forth, to disobey was not only a civil and political crime, but a moral offense of the blackest, and a sin against divin ity. Ages of this form of govern ment made the Japanese nation the most docile and tractable people on earth where their own authorities were concerned. So when the statesmen at the helm used the imperial rescript to back up a scheme for railways, the nation swallowed its objections and built railways. In the same spirit, it ac cepted all the new things. The creed of loyalty had robbed it of the privi lege of protest, by making that pro test a sin. Even so to-day, the creed of loyalty makes it a sin to tamper with things so mundane as plans for dreadnaughts and half a dozen new army divisions. The late Emperor gave them his approval. There is no more to be said. Another side of the creed of loyalty is the exaggerated national pride that degenerates into national self-con sciousness. All casual observations of Japan must be discounted by remem bering that the island impire is prob ably "showing off." Japan is worried about what the world thinks of her, to an extent that it is hard for an American to appreciate. We would like to have the world think well of us, but if the world can not see the manifold virtues of these United States of America, then so much the worse for the world. Not so Japan. She is determined to appear before the nations in the best possible light, and to that end she conducts press campaigns, grants great subsidies to her enterprises, covers up her real in dustrial conditions and her industrial inefficiency from the visitor, makes a showing out of all proportion to her real wealth and commercial import ance. This Japanese characteristic could be passed over with a smile, if it were mere puerile vanity. But it is deadly serious pride and Japan is ready to fight it. Japan gets great credit and ad miration from the thoughtless for her Industrial advance, that carried her from the middle ages to the twentieth century almost at a bound. This ad vance is taken as evidence that Jap an can become an England of the Orleni, a great factory for eastern Asia. Japan herself cherishes and en courages the illusion in characteris tic fashion. It is no more than an Il lusion. Japan might become the Eng land of the Orient If there were no England, and no America of the Oc cident.

So she comes to the relief of her industries with subsidies and the sword. She alternates freight rebates with the domination of Chi nese provinces. Her pride covers more than the military commercial glory of the Em pire. It extends to the race itself. Japanese seriously believe that they are the most remarkable of the peo ples of earth. Perhaps it is partly our fault; we have been telling them so for fifty years. They believe in their mission, which is to unite East and West, to dominate the Orient and act as a mediator between Orient and Oc cident. Their great men tell them, and they believe, that the Japanese is the moral and intellectual superior of any other human being. For this reason, race prejudice against them has never stirred them deeply." Race prejudice only cuts when the injured race has a consciousness of lnferior j ity. But the Japanese pride is affronted ! by any discrimination against Japan as a nation. Her pride and her eraed i demand that the proudest of nations : recognize her as an equal. Anything | less is an insult to the whole fabric of [Japanese society from top to bottom. | Japan will go to any length rather than to labor indefinitely under the least stigma of inferiority. Another effect of the Japanese re ligion of loyalty worth considering is its effect in questions of war, and the declaration of war. It prevents the forming of an opposition party under such circumstances, because such op position is deprived of the sanction of principle which it often has in a west ern country. There are what purport to be powerful peace societies in Jap an, yet neither before the Chinese, nor the Russian, nor the present German war did they make any opposition worth mentioning. Neither do the peace advocates of Japan, either Jap anese or American,attack the Japanese army and navy expansion schemes. They content themselves with attack ing the military program of the Unit ed States of America. An understanding of the two closely related elements of national pride on the one hand and religious loyalty to the Emperor on the other Is vitally important to an understanding of Jap an and the Japanese. These elements explain largely the aggressive militar ism of Japan in the past, and her vaunting and ruthless ambition to-day. They explain the perfect solidiarity of the nation in the face of a foreign opponent. They hint at the lengths to which Japan will go in her effort to put herself in the front rank commer cially and industrially in spite of nat ural handicaps. They give a signifi cant indication of Japan's real atti tude toward such matters as exclu sion and discrimination. These national characteristics mean more than that. They mean also a nation militant, the stifling of pacifist protest, the moral justification of war as a means of serving the state—they mean the placing of the nation as an instrument in the hands of a few men. That Instrument has been turned against, China, against Russia, against Germany. It behooves the United States of America to consider whither it may be turned next. 3
