An
Ocean
By PANE
1 A strange voyage! And still It hud
begun so pleasantly; in fact I have
never stavted to cross the Atlantic
under such good auspices. La Prov
ence is a swift, comfortable bout,
commanded by the most Jovial aud
gentlemanly of captains.
When we were about 500 miles out
from Havre we were overtaken by a
wireless dispatch flashed to us
through the air. It read: "Arsene
Lupin is aboard, traveling first cabin;
blond hair, a wound on the right arm;
Is alone and goes under the name of
'R ." At this moment a clap of
.thunder burst through the air. The
electric aves were disturbed and
the rest of the telegram was not de
livered, i Thus we, on board the boat, knew
only the first letter of the name
adopted by Arsene Lupin. He the
news concerned anything or anybody
else, I am sure the secret would have
been conscientiously kept, but there
are things which defy you to keep
Ahem secret. Already the very same
day all of us knew that the famous,
or should I eay notorious Arsene Lu
pin was among us.
Arsene Lupin on board! That slip
pery criminal whose deeds had filled
columns and columns in every Euro
pean newspaper! The mysterious
outlaw whom old Janlward, the Sher
lock Holmes of France, had chal
lenged to a duel to the finish! Lu
pin, the gentleman burglar, who
"worked" only in chateaus and sa
lons, and who once left Baron Schor
mann's residence empty handed, leav
ing behind him his card, bearing the
words: "I shall return, my dear Ba
ron, when you shall have become rich
enough to buy real silverware and
Jewels instead ot the plated goods and
paste gems your bouse Is now filled
with!"
"And this state of affairs Is going
to last for five times twenty-four
hours yet," Miss Nelly Underdown ex
claimed the next morning. "That is
unbearable! I hope they will catch
him." And then, turning to me:
"And you, M. Audressy, who are such
a close friend of the captain, you
don't even know anything."
Chicago Girl's Queries,
I should have given much to have
known sometking, Just to please Miss
Kelly. She was one of those bewitch
ing creatures who immediately capti
vate the hearts of all and who are al
ways surrounded by a court of admir
ers. Educated in Paris by her moth
er, who was a French woman by
birth, she was now on her way to
visit her father, the Dollarking Un
derdown, of Chicago. She was ac
companied by a friend, Lady Yer
land. "I really know nothing. Miss Un
derdown, but there is nothing to pro:
vent us from starting an investigation
of our own, following the detective
methods ot old Janlward, Arsene Lu
pin's arch enemy. We possess quite
a few clues:
"1. Lupin is traveling under a
name beginning with an R.
"2. He is traveling alone.
"3. He is a blond.
"Now, the first thing to do vis to
run over the list of passengers in the
first cabin and pick out all those
whose names begin with an R."
I had the list In my pocket, so I
tooK It out and ran my eyes over it
"I see there are thirteen passengers
whose names begin with an R," I
aid. "Of these nine are traveling
with their wives and servants. This
leaves only four: Count Von Rave-
flan"
"Who is attached to the German
legation," Miss Nelly interrupted." "I
know him."
"Major Rawson "
'My uncle," somebody said.
"SIgnor Rivolta "
"Here," came the answer from one
of our group, an Italian whose black
beard almost hid his face.
"The SIgnor cannot be accused ot
being blond." Miss Nelly said, with a
laugh.
"Then we are simply compelled to
think that the guilty party Is the last
name on the list, M. Rozaine," I re
plied. "Does any one know M. Ro-
tsaine?"
No answer, but Mlaa Nelly turned
to the young man whom I feared aa a

RICHMOND.
"Why, M. Rozaine," she exclnlmed,
"have you nothing to say?"
An KinlinrinssliiR Situation.
All eyes were turned upon him.
He was blond, and I must admit my
heart began to beat rather fast. The
situation was a very unpleasant one.
"I did not answer," said M. Ro
zaine, who was the calmest of us, "be
cause I have already come to the
same conclusion in the same way, and
I think that I ought to he arrested,
as I am the only person on board
whom the description fits."
"But you have no wound on your
arm, have you?" Miss Nelly asked,
rather anxiously, I thought.
"No, that at least does not tally
with the description," he said, and
nervously he bared his arm, which
was without a blemish. A thought
shot through my brain at the same
moment, however he had shown
Miss Nelly his left arm.
I was Just nbout to make a remark
to that effect, when something hap
pened to distract our attention. Lady
Yerland, Miss Nelly's friend, came
rushing up from below, terribly ex
cited. Only with the greatest effort
was she able to stammer: "My Jew-

Faith. Pride and
If the farmers would put a little more spirit, a little more
of the lire of enthusiasm in their calling, there would not be
so much humdrum work done and such dilapidated places
(called farms) as we see throughout the country. The farmer
shpuld have as much pride about his farm buildings as any
other class of men have about theirs. He should have and
needB all modern Improvements. The lack of pride, not money,
in many instances has agrent deal to do with this. They have
not been struck with the fire of enthusiasm deep enough to
reach their pockets. Mrs. Mary E. Cage.
els! my pearls! -everything has
been Btolen from me!"
The news created the greatest ex
citement, and we all agreed it must
be Arsene Lupin's work, carried out
In his best, most mysterious style. At
the dinner table the two seats next to
M. Rozaine were empty. No one
cared to sit next to a man who might
be in a penitentiary a month from
now. In the evening we were told
that the captain had sent for him,
asking him to come to his stateroom.
We all thought he had been arrested,
and breathed considerably easier.
After supper we had a hop, and be
tween two dances I told Miss Nelly
that I loved her, and she did not
seem at all displeased.
The following morning we were
surprised to hear that Rozaine .was
free. There were no proofs against
him. He carried papers which proved
beyond any doubt that he was the son
of a well known merchant at Bor
deaux, and there was no cut or wound
on either ot his arms.
Reward Oat For Lupin.
Somebody remarked that at the
time the Jewels were stolen Rozaine
was known to have been walking on
the promenade deck.
Half an hour later a slip of paper
was passed from hand to hand among
officers and passengers ot all classes.
On the Blip was printed that M. Louis
Rozaine offered a reward ot 10,000
francs to any person pointing out Ar
sene Lupin or producing the Btolen
Jewels.
"If no one will help me to find this
thief," Rozaine declared, "I shall fer
ret him out single handed."
And really the search of the boat
gave no result, but the next day the
captain's gold watch and chain were
stolen out of his pocket.
Furious at his loss he doubled his
efforts and his eyes never left Ro
zaine, with whom he had been alone
several times. In the evening the
watch and chain were found in the
first officer's collar box.
Now this was all very wonderful,
and showed that Arsene Lupin was a
master of bis art. When I looked at
the silent and melancholy Rozaine I
could not help secretly admiring him.
Two night before we were due in
New York the first officer heard some
body groaning in h dark corner ot
the deck, and when he ran over to
investigate he found a man prostrated
on the ground. His hands were tied
tegether with a otrrog silk cord. It
was Rozaine, who had been knockefl j
down - while out scouting. He had
also been robbed cf all his valuables,
and a card benring the following
words was pinned to his coat: "Ar
sene Lupin thanks you very much for
the 20,000 francs." Rozaine had had
Just that amount In his wallet, which
was quite empty.
Whole Ship In Panic.
A real panic broke out. No one
dared enter his stateroom or walk the
deck alone. The passengers clung to
gether in groups, the members ot
which knew they could trust one an
other. Arsene Lupin was everybody,
and everybody was Arsene Lupin,
who was now thought to possess su
pernatural powers. It was believed
that he could assume any disguise
and that he appeared now as the no
ble Count Von Raverdau, and then,
as Mnjor Rawson.
"How pale you are, Miss Nelly," 1
mi Id to my companion, who was lean
ing heavily on my arm.
"And you," she said. "You, too,
are looking quite changed."
The gangway was now in position,
hut before we were allowed to leave
customs officers, policemen and por
ters came aboard.
"If any one were to tell me that
Arsene Lupin had left the boat be
fore we came to Sandy Hook not even
that would surprise me," said Nelly.
Rozaine passed. The officer whis
pered to Gamlnard, who shook bis
head and let him go.
"But, mir Cod! where Is, then. Ar
sene Lupin?
Real Thief L'nmnshcd.
There were only about twenty more
poople on board. I told Miss Nelly
we had bettor wnlt no longer.
As we came down the detective
barred the way.
"What does this mean?" I cried.
He looked at me for a moment and
then said: 1' Arsene Lupin, I believe."
"No, sf; my name Is Bernard
d'Audressy," I said, with a laugh.
"Bernard d'AudresBy died In Mace
donia three years ago and I can tell
you Just how you got his papers. You
might as well give up the game, Lu
pin." I hesitated a moment. Suddenly
he Btruck me on my right arm. A
cry of pain escaped me. He had hit
the poorly healed wound mentioned
In the dispatch.
I saw that everything was lost and
turned to Miss Nelly, who was pale
as death.
Her eyes met mine; then she
looked at the kodak I bad handed her
a moment before, and I saw that she
had guessed everything. Inside the
kodak were Lady Yerland's Jewe's
and Rozalne's 20,000 francs. Sha

In the cities, and the Department of
Agriculture has prepared a publica

equip their homes with many of the
conveniences now largely confined to
city homes. Among the subjects
treated are the water supply, plumb

disposal and heating. The farmer is
shown how, at a comparatively small
expense, he can supply his home with
water by means of an elevated tank
filled by n hydraulic ram, a windmill

Paralysis In Horses.
This disease, which comes on sud
denly, is due to an acid in the blood.
It sometimes affects the front parts
as well as the hind parts, and tho ani
mal may come out of the barn feeling
fine, ambitious, willing to go, and of
ten goes faster than usual, but before
it has gone very far it besins to lose
its speed, hangs back, sweats profuse
ly, breathes hard and begins to
knuckle over behind, gets lame in one
or both hind limbs, and in a short
time is unable to go any further, and
often falls helpless on the road in a
paralyzed condition.
The proper thing to do Is to place
him on a stone boat and haul him into
the nearest barn, plnce him In a large,
well bedded box stall or a barn floor,
where he can be turned over often
until he is able to get up. Medicines
should be given of a laxative nature
and that will allay pain and counter
act the acid condition of the blood.
An Injection ot warm water should
be given to unload the rectum of its
faeces, so that the animal can If pos
sible urinate. If unable to do so the
urine should be drawn. A stimulat
ing liniment or a mustard plaster
should be placed over the hips and
the body should be kept comfortably
warm, The animal should be given
plenty ot drinking water with the
chill taken from it, a very little, if
any, feed should be given before he
gets up and he should be fed on bran
mashes and a very little hay after he
is up until a full recovery has been
brought about. Dr. David Roberts,
Wisconsin State Veterinarian.
Roosting Coops.
Some of our grandfathers (and
grandmothers, too) furnished no ac
commodations for the chickens after
they were too big to crowd in the
brood coop, but let them roost in the
wagon sheds or in the branches of
nearby trees. This method produced
strong, vigorous chicks, because it
made it impossible for them to over
heat by crowding Into a stuffy coop at
night and assured them plenty of
fresh air to breathe at all times.
Under such conditions the chick
that came . into the world with a
strong constitution, inherited from
its parents, could eat any kind of
food, digest it, and turn the greatest
possible per cent, of it into bone, flesh
and sinew. In an attempt to better
provide for the young stock some peo
ple nowadays build what are known
as rooBting coops, usually about six
feet long, four feet wide and four
feet high in front, with a shed roof.
In Borne cases these have proved very
satisfactory, while in others they have
proved decidedly undesirable. The
ones which are well ventilated, that
Is, constructed so that It Is possible
to open them very thoroughly when
the weather Is warm, are successful.
Those that confine the air with the
chicks bring on all sorts ot diseases,
and often cause all the trouble in the
flock, while the owner tries all man
ner of feeding In an effort to cut down
tho mortality and remove the cause.
The ideal roosting coop Is built
with tho front entirely of slats or
wire, and with somo way of letting In
air at the back on extremely warn
nights. A coop open tit the front
and back' would not do In very cold
weather, or indeed when the weather
was moderately cool. Therofore, the
open space at tho rear must have a
door to cover It, and the front should
have a burlap curtain, to lot down
when tho wind blows cold Into the
coop or when the rain would other

Sllago For Cows Silage Is mora
used In rations for dairy cows than
tor any other class of animals. In
fact It has been prominent in bring
ing about the present development of
the dairy Industry, and enabling tho
matlmum production at the minimum
cost. Sllago is well liked by cows,
and they thrive on it, make liberal
yields and maintain good health. Since
silage is relatively rich In carbohy
drates and low In protein, clover hay,
cowpea hay and alfalfa hay are all
good as a supplementary roughage.
From thirty to fifty pounds Is the
usual daily allowance of silage for a
cow.
Sllago For Steers The progress
ive feeder of beef cattle will find that
silage Is Just as Important In the eco
nomical production of flesh and fat as
the dairyman does in the economical
production of milk. Corn silage will
furnish a cheap succulent winter feed
for cattle that will keep the system
cool and the appetite vigorous. The
quality of silage fed beef is better
than that on dry roughage. In the
early stages of feeding a 1000-pound
steer can be fed forty to fifty pounds
of silage and then reduced to about
one-hnlf thnt amount when on a full
grain ration and toward the end of
the feeding period.
Silage For Sheep Silage Is looked
upon with great favor among sheep
men. Succulent food Is imperative
for successful sheep raising, and this
is particularly true in raising fine
early lambs. Silage on most farms
will furnish this Biicculency cheaper
than root crops. Silage Is Inclined to
be fattening, and should be fed In
limited quantities to breeding ewes.
Silage fed ewes give strong, vigorous
lambs, and drop them without trou
ble. Ewes should bo fed from two to
four pounds per day per head. Fat
tening sheep may be fed double these
amounts. Bulletin of the Maryland
Experiment Station.
Science Aids Dairying.
How science aids dairying was
shown by Director J. L. Hills, of the
Vermont station, In a meeting of the
Pennsylvania Dairy Union. He called
attention to the importance of keep
ing on open mind in regard to new
things. The matters which are pooh
poohed in one generation are the
facts ot the next.
Late developments show that the
German standard, which requires ap
proximately two and one-half pounds
of protein per cow per day is subject
to considerable modification. He had
seen good results from cows capable
of producing 250 pounds of butter or
more a year on a ration containing
one and one-half pound3 ot digestible
protein. Protein occupies too prom
incnt a place In the German standard.
He has found that very heavy feed
ing does not give good financial re
turns. A cow with all the clover hay
she will eat, a good ration of silage
and six pounds of grain gives better
returns than one with eight to twelve
pounds of grain. The grain fed in
excess ot eight pounds does not return
proportionate results.
Concerning the milking machine he
considers it a labor saver, easily
cleaned, a close milker, better than
the average milker. It has been in
use for over three years, but the man'
ufacturers refuse to put it on the
market, believing that it is not yet
perfect. He believes that tor the
dairyman having thirty cows or more
it will be a good investment. He
fears, however, that it will discourage
the testing of individual cows, as it
milks two cows into the same can.
His experiments had shown that
manipulation of the cow's udder does
not pay except after a poor milker.
Some other ways in which science has
helped the dairyman are by the pas
teurization ot milk, the improvement
ot salt and the study ot ventilation.
In regard to this do not use metal in
the ventilators, as it causes a conden
sation of air and consequent moisture,

.COOKING MEAT.
Meat ithould never be put Into a
half-heated oven to roast. The oven
ihoud be quite hot to start with, a-
;hat tho meat may 'become rapidly
browned and thus prevent the Juice
from oozing out. After the outside
is nicely browned, the oven may be
allowed to become a little cooler, but
always hot enough to keep the meat
at roasting point. Meat to stew
should be well fcrowned in boiling
fat, then lifted to the back of the
uven or stove and allowed to simmer
Blowly until tender. Boiled beef or
ham Intended to be eaten cold should
not be taken out of tho liquor when
ready, but allowed to remain In tltt
cold, else It will be dry and taste
less. Boston Post
