with the general view as it was ex

death.**
'"Don't, don't!" cried Donald. "I nev- 1

"Thank heaven!" I Interjected.
"As to Gillespie." continued Donald,
"he was brought out here first by Carl,

Kelvin. llemenibcr that Tim anil 1
knew some of Dunn's most secret

mysterious In what I did. I was as

hard thinking in two matters the

which Carl smuggled the stolen money
into that package of papers. It was
really there. I took it out while your
handbag containing the papers was at
the house that noun. That's all, uncle; j
that's the whole story."
Now. it will be admitted, of course,
that here is a rational explanation of
the whole matter if we ascribe Don- j
aid's seeming prediction of Gillespie's
death to coincidence, but I own that
my opinion, like Mr. Kelvin's, is entire- j
ly unshaken. I believe that Donald
used material means when he could get j
them and that when he couldn't he 1
bridged the gap with psychic power. |
Donaldson does not agree with me In (
this.
"The power that you have, Donald," ;
said he when the story had been told
upon the train, "is the sad power of |
deception. You had it as a child.
Though your heart is honest, you run
to trirkery as to your natural weapon.
It is a fault that you must break."
"I have sworn to do it, father," said
Donald. "Amy Kelvin and I have talk
ed it over. She knew that I would con
fess everything today, even her own
share, and I have promised her that i
never again In my life, for any con
ceivable purpose, will I descend to the
smallest deception."
"You'll find that rather hard to live
up to, Don," said 1. "especially in husi- I
ness. But 1 commend your resolution. :
The harder it is to do the more it's
worth doing."
"By tfie way," said Donaldson, after
a pause, "what are you going to do
with Bunn?"
"Forgive him." I replied. "It's a
wrench, but I'm going to do it. Thorn
dyke's looking out for him now."
"And Archer?"
"Let him take his goods out of my
house," saitl 1. "It's all I'll ask of him.
This has been a trying day," I added.
"I'm glad that it is drawing to a close."
"There is one more thing to do," said
j Donaldson gloomily as we rose to leave J
Die train.
CHAPTEU XIX.
A LESSON IN IIEKEDITT.
WHEN we came tip to my
grounds, we found Dorothy
by the gate with Amy Kel
vin. Donald shuddered at
?he thought of facing his mother, but
tie braced himself for the ordeal.
"Mother, dear." said he, "I'm not fit
to look you in the eyes. I'm a fake
and a fraud, but I'll never do it again.
Even if I had not already resolved, this j
awful thing todav would have cured ;
me.
"You mean that man's death?" said
Dorothy, who had heard of it from
Amy. "Don't take it too much to heart."
"It will go all over the world," sai-
Donald, with a great sob, "and you will
all be ashamed of me."
At this, very much to my surprise, j
pretty Miss Kelvin seized Donald's
hand and kissed it.
"I couldn't help it. Mrs. Donaldson," 1
she said, blushing fiery red and look- \
ing very much scared. "He is so tin- 1
happy."
"My son is a very lucky boy," said i
Dorothy, with her arm around the giri. j
"He has no right to be unhappy."
i Amy kissed her impulsively. Then
she turned away.
"If you're not ashamed to be seen
with me," said Donald, "I'd like to
walk over to The Elms with you. I tut
perhaps that's forbidden by your par- j
ents."
"My parents do not seem to be in per
feet harmony 011 the subject," said
Amy. "1 think I'll mind my mother
from here to our gate and my father
from the gate to the house."
"I think that's fate," said Dorothy

day, Donald, and we shall love her and
be proud of her. But what did he
mean by calling himself such hard
1 names? Was—hasn't anyooo f It been
genuine?"
Donaldson groaned from his heart.
"Dorothy," he cried, "there is just
one secret that 1 have never been able
to confess to you in all these years. I
believe that it has made me old—the
burden of it -and that it has whitened
my hair. Dorothy, if our son is a fake
and a fraud he is therein his father's
son. I am a fake and a fraud. Mr.
Harrington, I won your notice long

they lived 1: i» r the same roof
"When lb iu v went away, he wrote
to Mrs. Vinal. She was always Inform
ed of Henry's whereabouts, and her
hu-l and knew this he and I and no
one else. I was well aware that my
brother was in Japan. He had written
long letters of description to Mrs. Vi
nal. and I had read them and had seen
photographs whi<h he sent her. It
was from them that I described the
room and the view from the window.
"I knew of her efforts to make her
husband right the wrong to which he
had been a party. 1 knew of Vinal's
departure and where he was going.
The vi -m1 In which he sailed from
San Francisco was a tramp steamer,
but she was a very fast boat, and she
was going direct. I knew when she
was due, and as the day approached I
became very nervous.
"Then came that plan of Henry's
friends to search for him. I could not
let them waste their money and their
time. I could not tell them why.
Thence resulted all my conduct. I had
some little foolish reputation for mys
terious powers, and I played upon it.
] That day in the restaurant while the
' search for Henry was being discussed
I saw in the paper a report of the ves
sel that had carried Vinal. I guessed
j that he must be almost at that very
hour in my brother's house, and of
: rourse I knew what he would do there.
I "That was a harmless and pardona

! Jinued, "compared to the one which 1'
, iracticed upon you. I had the excuse

Interest and reckless impulse. 1 was
desperate with my circumstances. You
; would take me as a psychic, and you
wouldn't take mc any other way. Let
jme rush over this. When I pretended
to 'feel' Dr. Whiting behind me, I
] heard his voice in the hall, and when
I turned around after playing my trick
and didn't see him I thought that I
was lost. But fate saved me.
"As for my knowledge of what was
in your mind, Mr. Harrington, the ex
periment in heredity, I was Informed
by Whiting."
"But I never told him!"' i cried,
i Donaldson smiled sadly.
"How simple these things are," he
said. "Certainly you never told him,
but you loaned him your diary that he
might study the records of your tests,
and in turning it over he came upon
your notes about the possibility of
mating two psychics. 'Look out for a
psychic girl,' he wrote in the letter in
which he warned me of your visit. 'I
think they've got one and will try to
njake a match.' Dear little Dorothy!
To think that I never suspected her of
being the wonder worker! But many
a time since then 1 have felt her power
guiding me, for she still has it, though
she will not say so. Indeed, I cannot
believe that our son lacks some inher
itance of this mysterious force from
his mother" —
"Oh, deacon, how delicious!" ex
claimed Dorothy, who had stood like a
statue, with clasped hands, during all
this recital. "Have you really believed
in me? But why not? I have always
believed in you, and my on.y doubt of
Don was based upon the knowledge
that I myself was the thinnest of vain
delusions. Donald, dearest, I never
dared to tell you.
"Dear old I'ncle John, uncle in gener
al to all of us and best of benefactors,
can you ever forgive me? 1 can't tell
you all; I can't speak ill of my aunt,
and indeed she was driven to it; but
when I first began to help her with
those mysteries I thought her a most
wonderful psychic and that the only
deception was in making the revela
tions through me. Why, she had cor
respondents all over the country. I did
not know it till after her death. There
was a perfect network of fraud. These
people wrote to each other. They gath
ered the complete family history of ev
ery investigator and—and crank. You'd
be amazed at the things that my aunt
knew—things that were all done in an
orderly record among her papers.
"I did not know this till after her
death, and of course 1 had 110 suspi
cion that she was taking money for
her exhibitions, that she lived upon
them. It was among her letters that 1
found your name and Mr. Ilackett's
and the fact that you were trying to ;
find a Mr. Donald Donaldson, whose j
name you had not yet learned. That
letter came after my aunt's death.
"And 1 was desperate, Mr. Harring
ton. I did not know which way to'
turn. When you mentioned a teacher's
work to me, I was insane with fear
that you would not choose me, and so—
and so 1 played that awful trick"—
The tears were streaming down the j
dear face that I have loved so tenderly j
for so many years. She is the child of j
my soul. I took her into my arms and '
kissed her upon the brow.
"The facts seem to be," said Donald- [
son, looking very queer, "that your
experiment in heredity has succeeded
beyond the wildest dreams. You have :
brought together two persons having a
peculiar and wretched gift of deeep- >
tion, though one of them is the most
honest, open hearted woman in the |
world and the other a man who has.
done no great harm. Each of them, in
'a crisis which seemed all important,
yielded to a certain temptation—the
very same in each instance. To them
was born a son who was brought to
face a similar situation, with a result
that must 1 e called inevitable. But at
heart." he added, "the boy is pure gold,
as his mother is, and I am proud of
him."
lie looked around defiantly, as if
there h (1 been ■ me one to deny the
justice of his claim.
"He"; the tin* st boy that ever lived,"
said I. And then, with an old man's
persistence in a lo: _ cherished opinion:
"And, in >!• over, there's a tremendous
lot in this matter that none of you
has explain* . 1 believe, upon my
soul, that you are psychics, all of you!"

In Winter.
At a New York state farmers' insti
tute the reader of an essay on poultry
gave his method of feeding to get eggs
HI winter. Take one part of corn and
two parts of oats and have them
ground together quite line. To 200
pounds of this add 100 pounds of
ground wheat or of bran and mid
dlings. To ten quarts of this mixture j
add one quart of animal meal and ,
moisten with skimmilk if you have it.i
Feed this in tlie morning in V shaped j
troughs, giving as much as they will j
oat in fifteen minutes, and gather up i
what Is left at that time. At noon j
give green feed of cabbage, beets or ;
turnips cut up. An hour later give ;
light feed of small grains scattered in ,
chaff or straw. The night feed, at 3:30
p. m., is equal parts of wheat, oats anil
corn scattered in the straw, so that
they will work until dark to find it.
Keep oyster shells where they can pick
them when they please. Have dust
bath of road dust or coal asiios for
them and provide plenty of fresh wa
ter. Use kerosene oil on t lie roosts
and insect powder in the nests. With
early batched pullets or young hens
through their molt this gives eggs all
winter.
Why Do We Plow?
Some one lias said that after we
know the why it is easy to determine
the when and how, therefore we might
ask. Why do we plow? says L. W.
Lighty. To make a seed bed for the
next crop would be tlie general reply,
but there are a number of specific rea
sons. To turn under manure, trash or
undesirable plant or sod. If a field is
badly infested with a perennial weed,
setting tlie earth up on edge, covering
the top and exposing the roots often
work wonders In cleaning up foul land.
Then we plow to regulate the
warmth, air and moisture of the soil,
to deepen the soil or seed bed, to pul
verize the soil. If a plow Is properly
made. It will not only turn the furrow
slice, but will do considerable pulver
izing. This is hardly essential in fall
plowing. Only by taking all these rea
sons into consideration and possibly
minor local conditions can we deter
mine Intelligently when and how to
plow. Plowing is one of the most
tedious and expensive operations on
the farm and Is worthy of our careful
thought.

THE GOLDEN RULE.
Do us you would be done by.- Per
sian.
Do not that to a neighbor which you
would take ill from him. Hrecinn.
What you would not wish done to
yourself do not unto others. Chinese.
One should seek for others tlie liappi
i>< ss one desires for oneself. Buddhist.
Ho sought for others the good he de-
I f :ed for himself. Lot him pass on.—
| Egyptian.
All things whatsoever ye would that
i men should do to you do ye even so to
them. Christian.
The t; rule in business is to guard
and do by io things of others as they

The law imprinted on the hearts of
j all men is to love the members of uool
| ety as themselves.—Roman.

1 mere exposition of it. Jewish.
THE FASHIONS.
The majority of the ziboline, camel's
hair and similar costumes of rough sur
! faced fabric are made with the jacket
' either in box or Monti Carlo shape.
> An appropriate costume for morning
wear has a skirt of nut brown faeed
cloth, with a tucked waist of tussore
silk. Tus.-oro wears remarkably well
I and is st.\lish in effect.
It is quite the fashion just now to
wear black blouses with black skirts.
Crepe do chine, pin dotted net, silk
voile, ligurod taffeta and liberty satin
are the materials i!s< d for these waists.
Fur is again used for vests and
blouse waists of cloth costunii s as it
was a year ago, and autumn coats of
cloth can bo made over in appearance
by facing the collar rovers and cuffs
with fur.
Braiding will bo übiquitous this
winter upon gowns, coats and hats.
Some of the smartest new coats of
broadtail are conspicuous for their eol

eiLeu " ih fur instead of being coni

(oTvpeim \\ illi Corn.
A correspondent of the Southern Cul
! tivator says lie planted an early varie
ty of cowpeas with his corn and again
planted peas when laying by, so that
all through the growing season the
ground was shaded by the peas. The
result was the heaviest yield of the
largest ears of corn he had ever raised.
This brings up a rather new question.
Do cowpeas furnish nitrogen to the
corn growing with them? If this cor
respondent states facts, there is a
strong presumption that they do and
that the shading of the ground also
' helps t!:o corn. This is a matter that
i should !>o subjected to a systematic
j test.
