The test shows that at prevailing prices for corn imal ai d cottonseed meal, the cost of a pound of milk was somevvh:»t increased by the use of distiller's grains It also showed that if the milk was to tie us ed for butter and sold on III* basis of its test, the extra amount of fit pro duced by the distiller's grains rati n would offset the additional cost.

The train pulled steadily away from the station, aud by tho time ho had reached the wooden shack, digni fied by that name, tho rapidly disap pearing brass railings on the rear Full man told hint of a twenty four hours' delay in this stupid town. Overton hurled his suit cases 011 to the platform ono after another and swore. Then he turned to the grinning cow puncher who had driven him over "IN HEAVEN'S NAME"— HE BEGAN. from the ranch, thrust a handful of cigars toward him and wished him luck on his thirty mile drive back. "Hadn't you better go back to tho ranch with me?" the puncher suggest ed. "No," said Overton and added sar donically: "Think I'll do the town to night. There's a hotel here. Isn't there?" w The other's grin broadened. "There's n place that goes by thnt name," said lie. "Hop In. I'll drive you back there." Overton picked up one of the suit cases and climbed Into the wagon. They bumped along the street and pulled up before a rambling wooden building In front of which a sign, which the weather had rendered Illegi ble, creaked in the wind. Overton bade his driver goodby, wished him luck once more and then entered the hotel. The otllcc was not Inviting; neither was the proprietor, who lounged in his shirt sleeves be hind the desk. Overton's heart sank. The twenty-four hours he must wait here for the next train bade fair to drag heavily, lie wrote his name on the smudgy register. The proprietor adjusted his specta : cles, looked at the signature and then frankly scanned his guest. "Well," he drawled, "I ain't got much In the way of accommodations for you. First two floors Is all took up by a theatrical company playing here this week. Have to put you ut the top of the house." "All right," said Overton shortly. The proprietor eyed the suit case knowingly. "What's your line," he asked affably, "cigars or patent medicines?" "Neither," growled Overton, and the proprietor lapsed into silence. Overton sat In the dingy office smok ing moodily until supper was an nounced. The meal was a lmppy dis appointment, and after It was llnished Overton felt decidedly better natured. Returning to the office he stood before a gaudy poster which announced that "the Gordon-Stanley company, an all star combination, will be seen at the Sandstone Opera House tin* week of June U." He ran his eye over the repertory. "As You I.lke It"was billed for that evening. Shakespeare in Sandstono bade fair to be amusing. lie would take In tlie show. At 8 o'clock he repaired to tlie opera house and bought his seat. The place wan bare and dingy, redolent, too, of must and kerosene. Shakespeare was evidently not to Sandstone's taste, for but few of the seats were tilled. Before the stage n piano, badly out of tone, was being maltreated by a bald headed man with black side whiskers. The overture came to an end, the curtain went up, and the all star pro duction of "As You Like It" began. It was a disappointing affair— neither good enough TO IK- interesting nor bad enough t » be ridiculous. It was simply dull, colorless. Overton leaning back in his seat, smothered several yawns and then dozed Inter mittently. As well doze here as la the hotel office, ho told himself gloom «y. Suddenly he sat up, wide awake Rosalind was on the stage, ami some thing in Rosalind's voice was very, very familiar. He leaned forward staring frankly. He watched Itosa Mini's every move, he listened to everv Intonation of her voice. lie was aware of a tightening at his throat and a tingling sensation in his fingers. Of course it was only some one atv Wrflly like her, ho told himself, arid yet when tho first act was finished, ho sought the drowsy individual who served as usher and drew a card from his case. "Take this to Miss or" he consult •d his programme ' Miss Lee," lie said. The usher demurred. "Orders is not to let any one behind the scenes," he declared. Overton produced a dollar bill. "Hot ter try," he said, smuggling it into the usher's hand. The man departed, but a moment later he returned and beckoned Over ton to follow him. They went to the rear of the building, entered a low doorway and passed down a narrow hall with little doors opening onto it from either side. Before one of these they stopped and the usher K n •• k • ! The door was opened, and Itosalii I stood before.' them. "Phil! I'liil!" she cried, and the w >rd was almost a sob. Dazed, embarrassed, lie entered the dressing room and sat down on a trunk. "In heaven's name" — he began. "Don't—please don't ask me about It." she pleaded. I Overton rose, his face very grave. "Mabel," he said, "once I asked you to marry me ami you refused. Now I de niaud It, and 1 shan't take a refusal." "You—you don't want nie now," she said. "I do want yon," ho said stoutly. "I told you onee that I should live for my art." She waved her hand scornfully about the little room, lit tered with dingy costumes and make i ui) boxes. "This is my art. Ob, how 1 I have come to hate it," she ended bit terly. "Mabel, you will leave it all—you | will come with me?" he said very 1 gently. She hid her face in her arms. "Please —please g> away," she begged. "If . you stay, I shan't have the strength to j refuse you." "I don't intend to lose you again," said Overton, settling himself stubborn | ly on Jhe trunk.

Thus with a little care a fine sewing needle can be made to float on the surface of still water, especially if it is drawn through the hair a time or two, as the minute trace of oil so imparted enables it to resist the wet ting action of tiie water. It must be understood that liquids, although they have infinitely less co hesive attraction than s >iids, are not absolutely devoid of this. If there were no cohesion at all between the particles neither drops nor bubbles would be possible. Consequently every liquid may be looked upon as covered by a more or less cohesive skin of its own substance. So long as the weight of the steel or other solid body is Insufficient to break •through this skin it will float on the surface, although heavier bulk for bulk than the liquid itself.

For a quarter of a century-the bank was conservative, cotilinlng' itself to safe investments and taking no risks. Then Small died, and his son William succeeded him. William was thirty years old and had made money in speculation. Verndon had come to be considerably over fifty and was influ enced by the younger partner to take such risks as he never before had thought of. Inside of two years the bank was practically bankrupt. Dur ing the last year there was not a week when it was safe'from complete wreck. It did business only on Its record. When the partners came to realize that any day might precipitato the crisis each began to prepare for It. In these preparations they did not take each other into confidence. In fact, they did thjeir best to deceive one an other. A man from Chicago who was tak ing a Utile trip,over the country for tho benefit of his health stopped at I'ools ville and the hank one day to get some money changed. He looked about him and saw that a couple of enterprising burglars would have little trouble in making a haul He linns around for a day, making a few notes, and then went back to Chicago for bis tools of trade and his friend Mike. Patrons of the bank were still de positing with'old time confidence, and THE FINCHKTiM WERE ATSOVT TO CLOSE ON Mi;. VKHNDON'S EAU. that night the vault contained upward of $23,' 100. This was no great sum, but It would assist a couple of poor and en terprising burglars to pay their way to New York and hang around for awhile In search of further employment. The gentlemen of the jimmy were getting ready to begin work when a footstep was heard outside, instantly followed by the rattle of a key in the door. Enter Mr. Verndon, who had shut the door bebind him and was about to strike a match when he was seized from either side, flung down, tied and gagged before he knew where he was. lie was only well disposed of when there ciiuie other footsteps and a sec ond key rattled. The burglars sta tioned themselves ias before, and they had equally good {luck in tripping up young Mr. Small. > lie was propped up against the wall beside his partner, and burglar No. 1 flighted it cigar and safd to burglar No.\2: "Light up, Mike, and have a smoke. No telling how ninny more fellers are due, and we must be ready to accom modate all." A quarter of an hour passed away, and they had almost finished their cigars when the third and hist caller appeared. He objected to being knock ed down and tied and gagged, but the Chicago burglar is ever obstinate In carrying his point. When he was placed against the wall the official staff of the bank was present Mr. Verndon, Mr. Small and Mr. White, the latter being the cashier. Of course the cash ier Uuew the llnanclnl state of the bank as well as the partners. "Now, then, gentlemen," said Bur glar Bill when the audience was assem bled, "some explanations seem to be in order, anil I shall remove the gags that you may make them. Should any of you seek to take advantage of my kindness of heart a clout over the head will make you feel dizzy for a month of Sundays to come. Old age has the preference. Sp ak up. old gent, and tell us why yen are here this evening." "As we have no watchman, I got to worrying about things down here," ex plained Mr. Verndon.

The effect was all that a burglar could hope for. Mr. Small also amend ed his explanation. He, too, contem plated a little journey and wanted the cold cash to pay expenses. "You miserable thieves!" lifased the cashier at both partners. "Your turn now," remarked Bill as he reached the end of the line. "Speak your little piece or look out for squalls." "You goto!" "Spunky, eh? Well, let's see. I'll take a fat piece of your cheek In the pinchers and see If it won't oil your tongue a Ijlt." The cashier was game, but he had to sit iu and acknowledge that he had been anticipating a trip to Europe. "A nice state of affairs!" said Bur glar Bill as he sat down facing the trio. "Your kind are always railing about my kind, and you enter Into combinations to make us trouble, and here you are to rob the public and each other. Mike, we ought to feel like Sunday school children beside such men as these." "More of the pinchers might make them see the err tr of their ways," re plied Mike. "We : hall have to send 'em some tracts as s .ai its we get home. Don't let me for.-et it. Just now I want th" keys to the vault. It seems that each of the three has one." As Mr. Verndon was the handiest, he wis laid <ai his back, his pockets searched and the key found. It was not difficult after that to get the money. "Nice state of affairs this," said Mike when he had counted the pack ages. "Oldest bank in ten counties and supposed to be as safe as the rock of Gibraltar. You fellows have wrecked it and come here tonight to sneak away with the pitiful balance. Well, by <' rge! I have had a few twin:' . of < mselence since I turned burglar, but I shall have no more.
