He notices two men watching him. One is the Hon. Bertie Glynn, while his companion is Viscount Def Trebes, a noted duelist. When O’Rourke leaves the table the viscount tells him he represents the French government and that he has been directed to O'Rourke as a man who would undertake a secret mission. ’ CHAPTER ITT.—At his room O’Rourke, who had agreed to undertake the mission, awaits the viscount. O'Rourke finds a mysterious letter in his apartment. The visdount arrives, hands a sealed package to O’Rourke, who is not to open It until ou the ocean. He says the French government will pay O’Rourke 25,000 francs for his services. A pair of dainty slippers are seen protruding from under a doorway curtain and the viscouht charges O'Rourke with having a spy secreted there.

“Tell me,” he demanded, “have ye talked with anyone about this letter?" “Only to Clara Plinlimmon!"' “Good Lord!" groaned the Irishman. “Only to her! Could “ye not have printed broadsides, the better to make the matter public?” “"Twas indiscreet—and that’s putting' it mildly, me dear. D’ye know the woman’s a walking newspaper? How much did ye tell her? Did ye show her the letter?" “No.” She answered his last question first. “And I told her very little —only about this reward for a ruby I didn’t know you owned. Wp were wondering where to find you.” “And she told no* one—or-who do yjpUjthink?”: .4 iThe woman looked a little frightened.- “She told —she must have told that man—Monsieur des Trebes.” "That blackguard!" “He was with us on the yacht, one pt Clara’s guests.” . / „ 1 “She has a pretty taste for company—my word! How d’ye know she told him ? He’asked you about it?" “The letter? Yes. He wanted to know the name of the solicitors and their address. I wouldn’t tell him. I --disliked him.” ■ ■- ■ • ->. ■ '.J “Had ye told Lady Plinlimmon?” “No .. ." "Praises be for that!” “Why?” pw'j ’ “Because .. !* O’Rourke paaused, vague suspicions taking shape in his mind. ha. ask about Chambret?" he demanded. “How could he h#ve learned that the jewel was with him?" He jumped up and began to pace the floor. His wife rose, grave with consternation. “What,” she faltered —“what makes you think, suspect—T2 “Because the fellow tied .to me about. you this very night. Ye were with,, Lady Plinlimmon tn the. Casino, were ye not? Faith, and didn’t I see ye? < I was in chase of ye when the man stopped me with his rigmarole about representing the French government and having a secret commission for me. Ye heard him just now. . . . And when I asked him was he of your party, he denied knowing Lady Plinlimmon. . . He made a later apr pointment with me here, to talk things over. -Fm thinking be only wanted time to think up a scheme for getting me out ot the way. Also, he wanted to find out where Chambret was. D’ye not see through his little game? To get me away from Monte Carlo by the first morning train, that we might not meet; to get me on the first Atlantic liner, that I might not interfere with his plot against Chambret. For what other reason would he give me sealed orders? Sealed orders!” O’Rourke laughed curtly, tak-

I want ho more than a hint of warning. .. .” He was interrupted by a knocking. With a start and a muttered excl amatlon he remembered Van Einem, and stepped to the door and out Into a corridor, shutting the woman in. She remained where he had left her, her pretty brows knitted with thought, for a time abstractedly conscious of a murmur of voices in the hallway. These presently ceased as the speakers moved away. She turned to one of the windows, leaning against its frame and staring at the ominous flicker and flare of sheet-lightning osity. A cool breeze sprapg up, bellying the curtains. The woman expanded to it, reviving in its fresh breath from the enervating Influence of the evening's still heat Her Intuitive faculties began to work more vivaciously; she began to divine that which had been mysterious to her ere now.

The lightning grew more Intense and incessant, the thunder beating the long roll of the charge. A heavy gust of air chill as death made her shiver. She shrank away from the windows, a little awed, wishing for O’Rourke’s return, wondering what Then suddenly she knew; . . . She could have screamed with horror- ~ Almost simultaneously the door slammed; her husband had returned. With a little cry she flung herself upon him, clinging to him, panting, sobbing. “Tell me," she demanded, “what you intend to do? Do you mean to fight hip—Des Tribes?” ♦Tn the morning,” he answered lightly, holding her tight and comforting her. “’Tts unavoidable; I provoked his challenge. He was obliged to fight. But don’t let that worry ye—” . 5 • ? .“Oh, my dear, my dear!" She sobbed convulsively upon his breast. “ "Twill be nothing—hardly that; an annoyance—no mere. Believe me, dear.” . . "... "What can you mean—?’’ - "That the man will never consent to weapons worthy the name. He values his precious hide too highly, and he’s not going to put himself in the way of being injured when he has the Pool of Flame to steal. Be easy on that score, darling—and have faith In me>« little. I’ll not let him harm me* by so much as a scratch.” “Ah, but how can I tell? . . . Ddatgst, m? dearest, why. not give it up—not the duel alone, but all this life of roaming and adventure that keeps us apart? Am I not worth a little sacrifice? Is my love not recompense enough for the loss of your absolute independence? Listen, dear, I have thought of something; I will make you Independent, I will settle upon you all that I possess. I—” "Faith, and I know ye don’t for an instant think I’d dream of accepting that!” .' “But give it up. What is the world’s esteem when you have me to love and honor you? . . Come to me, Terence. I need you—l need you desperately. I need the protection of your arm as well as your name. I need my husband!” /• •/*f will," he said gently; “sweetheart, I promise ye I will—in ninety days. Give me that respite, give me that time in which to make or break my fortunes. Give me a chance to take the Pool of Flame to Rangoon—nay, meet me there in ninety days. I wttl come to you as one who has the right to claim his wife; but If I have lost, still will I come to you, a broken man but your faithful lover—come to you to be healed and comforted. . . . Dear heart of me, give me this last chance!” With an eldritch shriek and a mighty rashing wind the storm broke over the mainland and a roaring rain came down. Impulsively the Irishman turned off the lights, and, lifting his wife in his arms bore her to an armchair by the window. The storm waned In fury, passed, died in dull'distant mutterings. Still she rested In his embrace, her flushed face, wet with tears, pillowed to his cheek, her mouth seeking his. Vague murmurings sounded in the stillness, sighs. . . ' ; ’ (To be continued

I THE HORSE FOR SERVICE, r v. ' 2 jr- ■ W . ;’ly- * * Wearing A bulletin by the Canadian Agricultural Station says that the short ribbed horse'is never in proportion culent food to serve him from.we meal to another. A light-centered horse seldom weighs well; and weight ia a draft horse, if he comes from bone, sinew and muscle, goes a very long wny to determine his commercial value. When a horse is veil conpled :together on top and has a short hack, he must have the length below from the point of the shoulder,, to. the back of the thigh. When so built jjjft,; will stand the Strain of drawing heavy loads much better than is he Has a long, loose back. .■/./../</■ A The front feet and hocks are the parts of either a draft horse or a driving horse that comes directly in contact with the hard work, and Ixnless they are sound and good a horse's usefulness will be very much impaired and his commercial value very much lessened. Before using the stallion, get the groom to lead him away from you Stand square behind him and see that ucthem on the ground properly, traveling in both trot and walk clear and clean, not striking the ground fust with the toe and then bringing ddwu the heel. . , - . ' The feet should be large and waxy ip appearance. The sole of the hoof should be concave, the frog spongy, plump and elastic, because it acts as a buffer to take the concussion from acting too severely on the foot, pasternrand fetlock. See that both sire' and dam have sound feet, free from flatness, brittleness and are not contracted. There should be no “gumminess” about the hocks of the draft horse, as /it indicates coarsefifeSA The/ should toe - wide; es* pecially from a side view. A stallion whose feet are contracted and brittle and whose hocks are puffy and fleshy-looking should be avoided as such hocks are generally associated with a coarseness throughout his whole conformation and a general lack of quality.

Racks for Hauling Hogs.

A writer in Indiana Farmer sends an. illustration of his method of constructing a wagon rack for hauling hogs. The general idea of the plan is brought out in the tccumpanying illustration. Perhaps the most interesting feature is the drop

end shown, which is hinged to the bottom of the rack and then let down forms a walk for the hogs ov*r which they may be driven either in or out of the rack. When brought up and hooked it forms a cotnpk-te end board, for the rack. '

How Horses Are Doped.

We hear a good deal about doped horses on a race track. No one is likely to be caught in the act of doping a race horse, because the dose given is so small It can be administered with little danger of detection long before the race It a horse is to race at 3 o’clock a twograin powder is given on rhe longue in a darkened stall at 1 o’clock The drug takes effect in about thirty jginutes and breaks out into ■» sweat. It is rubbeddown, cooled out and done up as if ft had come in from morning work. Every effort is made to keep tbe horse quiet until post time, but It very often breaks out again ;u<l is again cooled out. The doped horse *.ever takes any warming-up work and this fact affords the best means for finding him out. The animal ie moved slowly to the starting point, great care being taken to- prevent It from becoming excited until the flag is dropped. Then a kick and dig to the work and. in an ihstant lhe fiih force of the dope is felt.

The Stock to Keep..

The farmer reduces the value of his own keeping Inferior stock, or felling to secure large yields of stocK. as the higher the prices and the greater the-produc-tion, the better the renumeratlon for the labor bestowed. There are periods when the farmer cannot perform work tn the fields, for which reason he should alm to get his crop under shelter as sobn as possible, In order to do some kinds of work which can be performed inside. the barn.

Feeding Corn to Sheep.

r la arranging yards for fteding 800 can be put in Idt but 800 Is still better. Always-keep salt before the .sheep. 1 In'foedihg corn foey should be started slowly and the ration increased gradually untirthey oat about a pound and a half a day.

All the finest houses in London seem to belong to Americans. Sunderland house, occupying a whole square in Ouzon street, behind tiro Marquis of Landedowne’s residence, belones to the Duchess of Marlborough, and the lawn facing Sunderland house is the flue garden of the Earl of Granard’s splendid Charles street residence, bought with, the Ogden Mills In Grosvenor square, which Is sacred, the most imposing mansions are those of A. J. Drexel, J. Pierpont Morgan, Jr., and tiro late Consuelo, Duchess of Manchester, who was Mias Yznaga The finest house in London is undoubtedly Dorchester House, in Park lame. Here lives Whitelaw Reid. The list might be continued for a column or more.

The Crafty Clerk,

“The late Frederick Gebhdrd,” said a New York clubman, “had a good-humored cynicism. I remember a story he used to tell, and I’ll repeat this story, because it illustrates well Gebhard's view of human nature. "A clerk—so the story ran—entered toe office one afternoon about an hour late. He had taken, that is to say, two hours for luncheon instead of one. A fellow clerk said to him on his entrance, in a low, warning voice: -.7 " ‘Look out for the boas. He’s been yelling' for you since half-past 12. Dear me, what a-temper he’s in!’ "The dilatory clerk’s face fell. He frowned. Then he hurried as fast as. he coaid go to a florist’s in the next street, where he fought a dollar bunch of violets. "On his second return the boss’s f bull-like roaring was the first sound he heard. “Tpn’t that Jones back yet? Go tetoh-JdheA, hbrnebofif! Jbhfesr ? “The clerk, the violets in his hand, hastened into his employer's office. An explosion followed. “ 'At last, eh? Well, Jones, on Saturday you can just go to the cashier and— ’ “But the clerk interrupted in a low, mysterious voice: '“I beg you pardon, sir, but the lady asked me to give you these.’ “And Jones placed the fragrant violets in his employer’s band. wbat’s Wi* “The employer was a remarkably ugly little man—a short, fat, bald little man, always badly dressed and always in need of a shave —and as he stared with sparkling eyes at the flowers in his pudgy hand the clerk could hardly keep from smiling. But he said:

“ The lady with the sable muff, sir—a* young, slender lady. She came in at noon and waited a long while—chat is what made me so late. Finally she said she couldn't wait any longer. She unpinned these flower* from her corsage and told me to give them to you. She said you'd understand.* ‘The little, ugly employer chuckled. He smelt the violets again and again. Then he said: i < *To tell yon the trutji, Jones, I’m pussled. To be sure, it might bn—no. No, frankly. I’m pussled. I can't imagine who it was. Try and find out for me if you can; and. by the way, mum’s the word in the office.” * 'f’"XL-;-. ■ ■ “Jones, from that day forth so Gebhard ended his story—stood in confidential relations with hia employer, his pay was raised and the old man all that winter stared toag and significantly at every lady with a sable muff, A liquid laugh is said to ba teas stimulating thaw a liquid “amOa.” same thing can't be said of emm.— (M|Sgo News. -
