They prepare to elope in a blinding blizzard but arq confronted by the maudlin husband. He is shot by' the wife, but the chivalrous boy pins a note to the body taking the "crime upon himself. In. their flight to the railroad station the woman’s horse falls exhausted; the youth puts her on his own and follows hanging to the stirrup strap. Seeing he Is an impediment, the woman thrusts her escort into a snow drift and rides on. Half-frdsen he stumbles into the railroad station just as the train bean the woman away. Twenty-five years later, this man, George Gormly, Is a multi-millionaire in New York. He meets Eleanor Haldane, a beautiful and* wealthy settlement worker, and co-operates with her in her work. Gormly becomes owner of a steamship line and finds himself frustrated in pier and track extension plans by grafting aidermen, backed by the Gotham Traction Company. An automobile accident near Ws country house, on a stormy Christmas eve, brings about a meeting with the members of Miss Haldane’s family. Gormly makes the maroned party comfortable and referring to a worse storm he once experienced In the west, offers to notify the people at the Haldane place of the accident. An automobile accident near his country home, on a stormy Christmas Sve, brings about a meeting with the members of the Haldane family. CHAPTER lll,—Continued. He had never seen her except in the quiet conventionality of a street dress. He had Imagined her in all sorts of guises. When she burst upon him that way however, the sight dazzled him. It was so far beyond any dream he had ever indulged that he could scarcely comprehend ft. He stopped and stared at her. For once his iron control deserted him. There was that frank, open admiration in his glance of which no one could mistake the meaning. “You must pardon my surprise,” said Gormly; “I have never seen you in an evening gown, and I confess my imagination unequal to —” "Do you like itr said the girl nervously. . - ”J am scarcely conscious of It, Miss Haldane,” he returned directly. “I see only you.” "How singularly unobservant," she said lightly, recovering her equipoise, “for a man whose business It Is to buy and sell such things not to notice them.” ‘ : . "In your presence tonight. Miss Haldane, business Is as far from me as If It was on the other side of the World. It la on the other side of the world," he continued swiftly; "for this Is a different world from any In which I have ever moved, and I—" His speech was broken by the entrance of Mrs. Haldane and Miss Stewart. The latter was a fragile, graceful, charming girl, who would have attracted instant attention and notice anywhere, except beside her regal companion and friend. Mrs. Haldane was a not unworthy complement to the Other two. These two also were wearing elaborate dinner gowns. At this moment Haldane, followed by the two other men, came tn from the library. "Mr. Gormly," began Haldane, sew

lor, "I am unable to get anybody over the telephone.” “I am sorry to hear that I suppose that the wires are down on account of the storm.” ‘ ' "Exactly. Meanwhile, I scarcely know what to do. Could you send f a man on a horse oyer to my place!" "I should be glad to do so, did I possess the horse.” “The pair that brought us up from the lodge?” “Neither Is broken to saddle, I believe, and—but I can send a man over on foot I have no doubt—" ‘1 hardly think that would be possible," Interposed pr. Deveaux. *1 should not like to be responsible for any man on foot in such a storm as this.” ‘Til go myself,” said Gormly quickly. "You, Mr. Gormly!” exclaimed Mrs. Haldane. "Why, we couldn’t think of such a thing. The danger!” "Madam, I have been afoot In worse storms than this,” he answered, “when I was a mere boy in the far west” ■. It was the first Intimation anybody from New York had had as to any period of Gormly’s life outside of New York, and one of the company at least pricked up h,ls ears at this remark and listened attentively. “We couldn't think of allowing you to do so,” said Miss Haldane. "I suppose that pair you have could ’ hardly take us over?” questioned Livingstone Haldane. “I am afraid not” answered Ggrmly. “They have been driven* today, and they are a light pair at best as you notice.” "Well, we are thrust upon you, then, marooned as It were." ' “I hope you won't find my house the typical desert Island,” answered Gormly, smiling. "Indbed, I scarcely know what the resources of the establishment are, having entered Into possession only today; but whatever they are, they are at your service." "There’s no help for It, I suppose," answered Haldane somewhat gloomily. "I guess you will have to keep us until morning.” “Think bow happy you make a lonely old bachelor." jreturned Gormly, "by being bls Christmas guests. And If you will accept this situation, as Indeed I fear you must, I shall make arrangements so that you eon be taken to your own place on Christmas morning. Let me consult my butler, who was Mr. Goodrich's major domo before I bought the place, and see what can be done.” A brief conversation with that functionary threw some little cheer over the situation. Gormly’s own wardrobe, which had been sent down, would amply supply the men with whatever they needed, and the butler imparted the cheering news that the lodgekeeper was a married man with i twp grown daughters, and he had no I doubt that such things as the women ’ required might bo secured from them. ; "Send at once,” said Gormly quickly. “and ask Mrs. Bullen to w

off for .bedrooms?" . . "Plenty of them, sir, and all readyfor pi6sts. “Well, see that they are prepared, and have Mrs. Bullen here immediately,. As the butler went off to attend to these orders, Gormly re-entered the roqm and found the whole party com-' fortably gathered about the fire. He, explained that he had found a woman on the place, the lodgekeeper's Wffe; that he had sent the station wagon for her; and that she would be present doubtless within a half hour with such Indispensable articles of attire as might serve to make the women guests at least comfortable. "If you were only in communication With your shop, Mr. Gormly," said Mrs. Haldane—and whether she meant to be offensive or not Gormly could not tell—"we would lack nothing." “I am sorry for your sake, madam, that lam not As it is, we shall have to do our best with the limited resources at hand.” Conversatidh ran bn desultorily this wa> for a short time, when the butler announced the arrival of Mrs. Bullen. As he did so, the tall clock musically chimed out the hour of nine.

“Now that your woman is here, Mr. Gormly,” said Mrs. Haldane, rising, “as I am somewhat fatigued from the ride and , the experience, I shall retire to my room. I suppose you young people won’t think of going to bed at this unearthly hour?” "No, indeed,” answered Miss Stewart "I think I'll stay awake until Christmas.”

“Win you go, Beekman?” said Mrs. Haldane, addressing her husband. “Why—er—my dear—” “I was about to propose a table of bridge," said Dr. Deveaux?” “An excellent idea,” returned Haldane quickly; “but there are six of us here and —” “I don't play,” said Gormly quickly. ‘TH stay out also,” said Eleanor. "I don't care much for bridge at best" “Good night,” said Mrs. Haldane, moving away, escorted by the butler, and met outside presently by Mrs. Bullen. “Mr. Gormly and I win watch your game,” said Eleanor. "By the way, Eleanor, may I ask where you met Mr. Gormly?” queried her father. "He is very much Interested in our social settlement work. Many of his employees live in the vicinity of the new settlement house we are building, and I have had occasion to consult him at his office a great many times “Ah," said the elder man reflectively, wondering how much might be behind that entirely innocent statement. Meanwhile a footpaan arranged a card table, at which the quartet took their places and Instantly became absorbed In the game. Miss Haldane manifested no special interest in the play, and at Gormly’s suggestion she left the hall and went with him Into the inviting little library through the broad open doors that gave access to it from the hall. Another fire was burning there. He drew a low chair before it in which she sat down. He himself stood with his arm resting on the mantel, looking down on her. The two Were In plain eight from the bridge table; but as they talked in low tones their conversation was inaudible in the hall. Haldane glanced curiously and uneasily at them from time to time; but finally, becoming absorbed in his game, paid them no further notice. CHAPTER IV. Miss Haldane la Charmed and Charming. “Mr. Gormly,” began Miss Haldane, T have not seen you for some time.” "Not for two months and eleven days, Miss Haldane,” answered Gormly quietly. "Gracious!" exclaimed the astonished girl. "How pat you have the time! Do you keep a calendar of my visits to your office?” "I have a marvelous memory for details which I wish to remember,” said the man. “And I am so much Interested in—the settlement house that—How does it progress, by the way?” he continued, gravely as If his anything connected with her was a «nere matter of course. “Oh, beautifully. You see, there is nothing to consult you about now. It is all In the architect’s and builders’ hands.. You have been so helpful to me I really don’t know what I should have done without you." "And you have, of course, respected my confidence? No one knows anything about my connection with the enterprise T* • “No one at a!L" “Not even your father?” “Certainly not I never discuss business with my father, nor does ho discuss business with me.” "And yet” said Gormly quickly, "I should think he might discuss business with you to advantage ” “What do you mean?” asked the girl."I am a business man. Miss Haldane, accustomed to deal with men and women tn a business way, and much depends upon my ability to estimate the capacity of those with whom I work., I have not often seen a woman, or even a man, with a better head for business than you hare." It was the deftest thing the man could have said to her. Women, she knew, were not naturally businesslike, and to have such qualities attributed to her was the subtlest kind of flattery. It came, too, from a man who was a power in the business world, and was therefore the more valuable. "It to very good of you to say that." said the girl, smiling pleasantly in appreciation. "and I Mt mere proud es K.

“1 should like to do something really worth while,” said the girl after a little pause. "I like people who do something worth while." -' "So do I,” said the man. with chylous meaning. "Mr. Gormly," she exclaimed impetuously, “why don’t you do something worth while T’ Gormly smiled. "My dear young lady,” he answered—really, he wtts old enough to be her father, he thpught half sadly, as be noted his form of speech—"l have the largest store In the world. I have agents in every civilised country and many that are uncivilised. I own and control a fleet of steamers. • I have my private woolen mills, and, silk mills and factories. I suppose there' are ten thou-

sand people in my employ. I can give you a check for another million for your settlement work as often as you wish it. and —” 'W.,-:. '

"These are all very Well, Mr. Gormly,” said the girl gravely.- “They spell tremendous material success; they show your ability and acumen; in the eyes of the world they/count for a great deal; indeed, I find lately that they are counting more and more; but they don’t really amount to anything after all. What is money, what are power and influence? My father, for instance, was born with more than he could possibly spend, more than he knew what to do with, inherited from thrifty ancestors who had the wit to buy land when It <JOUM bS bought for* a song. He has Influence, power. What does it amount to? I want him to do something, really to do something in the world for the good of mankind I am preaching to you just as I preach to him.” 2

“Do you look upon me as you would 'a father?" asked Gormly quickly. "Why, no, not exactly. Certainly not," answered the girl. "I am forty-four, you know." "No, I didn’t know; but what if you are? You are still a young man. My father is fifty-five, and I don’t call him old" "Wonderful consideration from twen-ty-two!” said Gormly smiling. . “Well," resumed the glrl, *1 was saying that you ought to do something in life. You have made yourself. You started with little or nothing, if I may believe the newspaper accounts off you." “Have you been reading them?” "Every word," answered the girt “I was quite proud of being able to say to my friends that I knew you and what they said about you was true.” Never in his life had Gormly been happier than at this frank, spontaneous expression of approval “You ought to put these great talents of yours at the service of your fellow men; not in buying and selling, but in doing something for them,” she ran od. ' “Don’t you think that in selling them honest goods at ftfair profit, tn telling them the strict and only truth about what you have to sell, in allowing them the utmost freedom of return and exchange, in providing generously for employees, is doing service to yonr fellow men?" “Certainly, it is. It is doing service to the little world which you touch, a larger world perhaps than most of us can touch. But I want you to do something, I want every man and every woman who has the ability to do something, in a great, splendid way.” “But what would you have me do?" "I don’t know,” answered the girl. "I don’t know what I would have anybody do; but there are so jnany things to be done, so many wrongs to be righted, so many things to be achieved. The great man goes out and makes opportunities. Part of his greatness; I take it, consists in seeing what there is to do. Ruskin says somewhere that the greatest thing anynody can do to to Bee something. If I were a great woman, I could answer your question better; but I am only—” “I think you are a great woman,” said Gormly softly, "and I would be perfectly willing to take your answer and abide by it." “I would not have it that way,” answered the girl dreamily. "When my father asks me what 1 would have him do, I say to him, ‘Go and see.’ He laughs at me; most people laugh at me. Yon dnn’t, Mr. Gormly." f (TO BE CONTINUED.)

WEEDING THE DAIRY CALF

By H. C. MUIS, Dairy Field Man.

The importance of successfully rear-’’ Ing heifer calves on Indiana dairy farms increases each year. Owing to a constantly growing interest in milk production, it to becoming difficult to purchase good dairy cows. It has been repeatedly demonstrated that for the average dairyman, the best means es maintaining and improving the dairy herd is the use of a good dairy bull, and the raising of the best heifer calves selected from the most productive cows. The objection usually offered by the dairyman to this method to, that good calves cannot be raised by hand, and that whole milk to too valuable to allow them to be raised on the cow. • It to well to keep in mind that the treatment the calf receives must necessarily have an influence upon her future usefulness, but it has beea proven that good heifers may be reared without the use of whole milk. Where only butter and cream are sold from the dairy, the problem or rearing 'the calf Is Indeed a very simple one, because as good calves may be grown on skim milk as on whole milk. When we consider that only the fat has been removed from the milk in skimming and that it forms only a small per cent ot the food value of the milk, we can readily realize that this alone is not the cause of the poor results frequently obtained with handled calves. The following table shows the average composition of skim milk and whole milk. Whole » Skim Milk. Milk. Water . 87.10 80.60 Fat 8.90 .10 ProteMs 8.40 8.67 Sugar 4.75 4.96 Ash 75 .78 Poor results in calf raising come from improper methods in feeding, and may occur when feeding whole milk

Instruction in Forage Crops at Purdue University

The large part which forage plays tn the economy of the farm makes it appropriate in a course of instruction to devote some time to the culture ot crops used for sueh purposes. Nearly one-half of the time given to Instruction In field crops at Purdue university Is used in studying the methods of producing coarse feed on the farm. Attention is given to such crops as clover, alfalfa, timothy, orchard grass, pasture grasses, sorghum, corn for silage and fodder, millets, cowpeas, soy beans, vetches, Canadian field peas and others less known. ' The Instruction consists of lectures, assigned readings, field trips, and laboratory exercises. The experimental plats of the agricultural experiment station are used to show methods of growing and harvesting, and also to give first-hand knowledge of the appearance of the plant In the green stage. In the laboratory attention is given to the study of purity and vitality of clover, alfalfa, and grass seeds. Students are equipped with authentic samples, lenses and scales for measuring anil identifying the various kinds of clovers and grass seeds. A large germinating box Mffbbto et beMing several hundred

r By halfflgo well as when teeing skim milk. The fat in the milk does not produce the growth in the young animal, but goes to maintain the heat in the body and to supply fat for body tissue. This fat can be more cheaply supplied In the form of corn meal or grain. ■. \ Taking Calf From the Mother. The best time to remove the young calf from the mother must necessarily depend upon the condition of the cow. If the udder is feverish and caked, it might prcive beneficial to allow the calf to remain with the mother three or four days. The sooner the calf to removed from the cow the less trouble will be in teaching it to drink. One point should be borne in mind, that the first milk or colostrum milk of the mother, and not the milk of some other cow should be fed to the calf because of its effect upon the digestive organs of the young animal, stimulating them into action. Changing From Whole Milk to Skim Milk. - The first two or three weeks ot the calf’s life it should receive whole milk. The ration may then be gradually changed by adding more skim milk each day until at the end of one week it is receiving all skim milk. Amount of Milk to Feed. The common mistake made, in rearing calves on skim milk, to that of feeding too much. When this to done, Indigestion results. Each calf should be fed in a separate vessel so it will get the same amount of milk each day. For the first two weeks the calf should receive from four to six quarts, depending upon the size of the calf, in two feeds per day, or better, three. As the -calf grows older, more milk may be fed, but at no time does it need more than eight to ten quarts per day.

New Judging Circular.

Live stock judging for beginners. | Circular 29. has just been published by Purdue university agricultural extension department. The circular deala in a plain direct manner with the ways and methods of judging horses, beef cattle, dairy cattle, hogs and sheep. It was designed to give the men and boys on the farms of the state some knowledge of and inspiration for Improved live stock. The publication, which was prepared by members of the animal husbandry and dairy departments, Is quite exhaustive, comprising some 128 pages of reading matter and illustrations of types of farm animals and methods of judging the same that add greatly to the instructional value of the circular. This circular 29 Is distributed to the citizens of Indiana upon request To people outside of the state • charge of ten cents la afflxsd-
