A number oi planters with their fam- ilies were assembled at a winter fes- tival iu the manor house of Le Roy Chalmers. There were driving, horse- back riding , shoot illff and other sea- sonable sports , affording s merry time t<> all. Beatrice Chalmers was the acknowledged belle of the party, not only ou account of her comeliness , bat n certain dnsh there was about her, an impulsiveness which was constantly bursting through conventional re- straint. The young people of the party had done more or less pairing off, but Miss Chalmers , being a hostess, had re- frained from accepting more attention from any one of the men guests than another. Nevertheless there were two who, it was generally conceded , were nearer to her than the others—the one, Ed- moiid Dnrgau , a creole from Louisiana ; the other , Louis Fitz Mauric e, a young Virginia attorn ey. Dargan had re- omtly come to Virginia , had made the acquaintance of Colonel Chalmers, who with the hospitality of the times and the locality had Invited him to hi3 house. Fitz Maurice had known Bea- tri ce Chalm ers fro m childhood and was in love willi her: but , bein g only nn attorney , which was then considered greatly inferior to being- a planter , and since be bad no fortune , he had kept bin passion to himself. At any rate, he had not spoken it. One day when the party were re- turning fro m a bunt Miss Chalmers missed her riding whip. In the han- dle was a valuable diamond. Her ex- pressive face at once showed how keenly she felt the loss. They ha* been rid ing through a thickly wooded country , jind it was quite possible that the whip might not be found. "Whnt will you give iho flnderr asked one of the young men. At that moment Dargan . who had fallen behind the other *, rode up and, having hparri the question and know- Ing the impulsive nature of the girl , said: "Yourself?" "Yes , myself ," said Beatrice, "and all 1 possess." Every young man of the party turn- ed his horse 's hea d to the direction from which they had come and spur- red away to look for the lost whip. A short distance from the manor honee they met Fitz Maurice and Carey Em- mons. who were J ust coming in. Fitz Maurice succeeded in stopping one of the riders long enough to dtacever what they were returning for , but In- ¦tead of joining them rode on to the bouse with Mias Emmona. Then he saw the ladles of the party standing on the porch. At seeing him Mi§s Chal- mers cried out: '•Aren 't you going to look for my rid- ing whi p?" "You would not have me be bo din- courteous as to leave Miss Emmoaa ?" "Certainly not. But , bow that 111m Emmon s in here , I see nothing te pre- vent your returning to learcb with the rent. " "Nothing but that the whip baa doubtless been already found. " A look something akin to reproach flashed in Beatrice 's eyea at what she considered this ungallant treatment. Half an hour later the men were »een riding back beaded by Dargan . who held aloft the recovered wkip. Miss Chalmers , who saw it all through a window , knit her brow and cast a deprecatin g glance at Fitz Maurice , who was standing near. In a few us- mentu the buntera threw themselves from their nurses , which were taken away by negro slaves, and all followed Darga n into the house. Advancing to- ward Miss Chalmers , he Cropped on one knee and handed her the whip. "You have found my whip," ahe said. "It remains with you to nay if you wish the offered reward. " "I certainly do wish it and claim it as my right." Ever}' one present except the man addres ied, who was «b his kaees with head bowed , saw by thefexpression ob the lady's face that «h« certainly dl< not wish It, and every one saw a kalf reproachful , half appealing glance she threw at Fit* Maurice before replying: "No Chalmers has. ever gone buck on his or her word. My friends . I have to announce xay engagement to Mr. Dar gan." There was a clapping of baads froai some who considered the matter to be mere banter and frowns from others who believed the girl would be foolish enough to sacrifice herself to a fate sense of honor. Dahran took her hand , kinsed it. rose, and tbe party dis- persed. The same evening Fits Maarice, find- ing Dargan walkin g alone under some magnolia trees near the house, ap- proached him and said: "Dargan , I was sur prised that la claiming yaur reward toda y yoa failed to say that you could only accept It la case the lady's heart Vent wit* it" Dargan turned upon Fitz Maurice like a fury. "That is a matter between Miss Chalme rs and myself. I brock bo m terference in my affairs from any man ." Despite the fact that hot southern blood ran in Fitz Maurice 's veins he ftnswered coolly: "I would not think of interferin g In this affair were you actin g honorably. " "Honorably That means that you accuse me of Acting dishonorably. Ton are doubtless prepared to back your insolL I shall kill you as I Trould a dog." "I am prepared to back what I say both as you mean and in anot her way. I was ridin g behind Mifla Chalme rs today when she dropped her whip and saw you dismount , pick It up and put it In tbe pocket of yoar hunting coat" Dargan started , a&i & change* look t»m» over his tac*. For a mosMOt n« hesitated , then deciAaA «a Us fltfone. ••Yea must admit," te salt, "that no man can make such a char geas that and not expect to enforce It on tbe field of honor. Before bedtime you shall hea r from me. Good night." Raising his hat , tbe speaker turned and walked away. Dur ing the evening Fitz Maurice took Miss Emm ons away from the others and said to her: "What do you propose to do about making known the fact that we saw Dargan pick up Miss Chal mers ' riding whip?" "Nothing. I never interfere in oth- er people's affairs." "Very well; then she must remain ignorant that she Is in no way bound to bestow upon him the reward offer- ed." "She won't anyway unless she wishes to do so. If you think she should know the truth, why don't you tell her? " "Because certain conditions have ar isen that should I do bo I would reader myself liable to the contempt of my associates. Neverthel ess tomor- row I may tell her. I wish you to promise me that if I do not you will do so." "Explain. " "Not tttl tomorrow. " "Very well. If you don't tell her tomorr ow I promise you I will." The next morning Beatrice Chalmers awoke before daylight and lay think- ing about tbe peculiar position in which she had been placed by tbe loss of her rid ing whip. She w&s pledged to marry Dargan, whom she did Opt fanc y, and considered that she bad re- ceived a slight from Fits Maurice , whom she did love. What would be the next development? j It was soon to become apparent. She heard footsteps on the stairs , though they were barely audible . Had her senre of hearing not been very acute she would not have heard them. She listened and after awhil e a door Boft- ly closed directly below her room. Getting out or bed . she looked through her window and saw in tho gray of the morning Fitz Maurice and one of the men guests, who carried a box under his arm , crossing the open space lying be- tween the manor house and the road . That was quite enough in those days, when the code duello was in vogue, to tell her what had happened. She dress- ed herself , opened her door and went out Into the hall . A door opposite was opened, and Miss Emmons , in night- dress, called to her. She went lnt» Miss Emmons ' room and learned that she had seen Dargan leave the house on the opposite side. Miss Eamoas thou ght it high time that she take an interest in "other people's business" and told her hostess all she k&ew about what was about to transpire. Get on your clothes, quick, ex- claimed Beatrice, in a flutter , "while I go to the stable and brin i a pony cart!" Within ten minutes Beatrice hurried up to the door as fast as her pony's short legs could carry her. Miss Sal- mons got in, and the two drove off at a gallop in the direction th* ) t>U»r bad seen Dargan go. There had been a duel before in the family,-and Beatrice surmised that this one would occur at the same place. When they reached it the two principals stood waiting while the second*) were measuring the groun d. "Gentlemen. " said Mlsa Chalmers as she reined in near them , "there is no occasion for this fight. I ana in a po- sition to answer for the dishonorable act ef one of tbe principals and the honorable conduct of the other." Darga a, who saw that he had lost his case, turned pale. "Mr. Dar gan . not only did Mr. Pits Maurice se*you pick up my whip soon after I bad lost it. bat Miss Emmons saw yon do the same thing. " "And ," Interrupted Dargan. with a ooBtemptuous glance at Fits Maurice, "he induced Miss Emmons to tell you la erder to stop"— "N» such thin g!" cried Miss Chal- mers angrily. "He pledged her to tell me after this affair should be all »ver. Isn't that so. Care y V "It is." "We both heard you go cat." contln- Hi Beatrice , "and followed you to pre- vent spllliag ef bload aad to exonerate Mr. Fits Maurice. Mr. Dargan , I am astoBlsbei st yoar ceurse. I neod sot add that I feel neitaer inclination nor compulsion to hold to my part of a silly contract. " Dargan turned aad walked away fr«n the field. It had not occurred to him that Miss Emmons had also ssen him pick up the whip. and. confident that he could kill Fitz Mau rice, he ex- pected te cover up his dishonor with the tartar 's death. He did sot go to to* manor bouse, bat sent a negro for his belongings. He was sever agala heard of lu Virginia, but visitors from there to Now Orleans learned that hit was an adventure r and a duelist of cansiderable dtetiBcrio n.

MITCHEL j • Copy right by American Fres s Asao- « \ elation . 1911. ; At 8 ocluck oue morning , as l>earo n John Bradley of the town of Somer- set was on his way to- his sawmill, he came across an old mule lying down lu the ntreet. Not an inhabitant of the place owued u mule. Not a mule iiad eveu pttsusd through tbe town in j ears. Tin* appearance of oue was a uoveity. It was therefo re easy for the ileai-ou to reason that This mule had iome from a distance. As tbe uniuiul was almost skin aud bones li was easy again to reason that he hud been turn- ed out to die. Other men had noticed the old muie t iat mornin g and had passed ou and left Urn to hLs fate. Deacon Bradley whs not that kind of human. He bud been known to gather a hundred po- tato bugs from the vines lu his gar- den and tenderly carry them io the fence end drop them over. He had »at up night aft er night with sick cows, and he had taken lu lame dogH :ind made them well again. His first move after cooling across the mule wns to bring tbe animal water and onts. He was rewarded by a grateful bray. Tbe mule drank twelve quarts of water and ate four quarts of oats and entered upon a new life. He was puzzled and mystified, but he wasn 't kicking about a good thing. He had exited to die right where he drop- ped and had set his boua« In order as well as he could, but if Deac on Iiradley wanted him to live on tie would do so. When he had been flllcri with water and oats be got tip aud li\ hi« dumb way asked what next. Tor answer he was led to the deacon '^ barn , a quarter of a mile awny. aud then he made sure that he had found a man that would see him throu gh bis troubles . Deucou Bradley was the subjevt of much "Jostling. " but be took it calmly. His consi-luuce told him he b:id dono the correc t thin g, and not a gibe reacted \\m target He got his reward in umlng that nul« fill up and take on fiasti M&d begin to frlnk about as in bin youux«r dxyn. For two week* tbe ani- ma l was silent. He hadn 't quite loat kls voice, but be was giving It n ren t until be could decide whether the good, thing was to last or not. One night he reviewed all that had been done thu n fa r. made up his mind that his Job was secure , and next mornin g when the deacon oj>ened the barn door he was greeted with n bra y of welcome. It was a nound that made tbe man Ju mp back in affri ght. It war a note from a foghorn mingled with the scream of a lerr lflod woman. It quivered and qua- vered and rumbled and died nway. For two minutes the deacon looked to sec the mule drop dead , and then he Under stood. Klcha rd was getting to be hlmnelf again. He was feeling his oats and bay. He wan coming to think that life wan wort h the liTlng, It wan a bra y of welcome, but the deru 'ou thought It could be Improved . There- fore for the next week be mixed flax- seed with tbe oats and soaked slippery slm iu tbe water pail. He did make an improvement , and he was glad. He was. however, rbe only one In Somer- set who wan glad. No oue Hdvertl ned for a lost mule. No one came makin g Inqu iries. To obey the law made and provided lu ¦ucb cases Deaeon Bradley advertised that be bad picked up an tstray, which the owuer could have by payin g dam- ages after proving property , but there was no response. And yet there was. That mule seemed to divine that be bad been advertised, and he set op such ft lonesome braying thnt It took five lumps of sugar and four quart s of oats to ntill It. "What about the mule, deacon?' was a questi on asked a dosen times a day. ¦nd tbe nnswer always was: "Dunno. thou gh I'm going to give, him a chance. " The anima l was Dot worked . All he was asked to do was to enjoy a state •f Idleness. This mn\ on for six long weeks, and then his conscience began to prick him. Was be showing his gratitude? Was he on the Jobt He decided that be wasn't, and at 10 o'clock one night be atuck bis bead ent of tbe open window In bis stall and began to bra y. The fiaxseed and slippery elm bad worked wonders. His bra y was now as clear as the note *of a prima donna acd us farre achlng as tae whistle of an ocean liner. It was a "haw-he-haw— aup-bup-bup!" Tbo deacon didn't awake becaus e he Vas a good man and bis conscience was clear. The next morning , bov- •ver, he was tackled by a score of kickers who had got on to the amis. Bocae kindly asked him to knock the animal is the head with an ex. and tone almost threatened to do as much for him If he didn't turn tbe brayer loose. To one and sll be answered: "Nature meaat men to talk and the ¦sale to bray , and I am not going agin nature." Tbo deacon found bis friends drop- ping away from him. but he made it up by spending more time in the cotn- fany of the mulo. Then one morning—one morning when not a bra y bad disturbed tbo sileace of tbe previous night—the mule was found dead In his xtall. The peo- ple passed from tbe barn to tbe bouM , •sd they found tho deacon dead In his bad. Both mas and mule had passed peacefullyaway after their work on aartfa bad been finished.

The Two Hundred Egg Hen—How to Get Her—How to Keep Her Prof. Graham of the Mass. Agricul- tural College, recently deliver ed an in- structive lecture on The Two Hundre d Egg Hen; How to Get Her and How- to Keep Her , at Russell Mills , New Bedford. The Stan dard in reporting the lecture said : ' The audien ce was most enthusiastic and tir e questions at the end of the lecture showed how- deep was the impression made by Professor Graha m's evident knowl- edge and experienc e in the poultry business. f rofessor Graham made many good points. The first was that in poultry raising as in all other departments of agriculture , specialization is the method which brings the best results. Not a combinatio n of egg raising, meat producing, breeding tor batch- ing or for fancy stock , but one of these special industries developed scientifically makes for the greatest success. Of these branches of egg in- dustry the greatest opening, to Pro- fessor Graham 's mind , is in tho breeding of utility stock. In this , as in many other sections of the coun- try, there is most demand for eegs that will hatch chickens that will live. The underlying principle in this pro- cess is a rigorous selection of indi- vidual fowls. By trap nests and marked eggs find the hens that will lay fertile eggs that hatch and pro- duce liveable chicks. Then the chick- ens must be watched and those which j;ro\v continuously with no setbacks , and which are best in sizt\ weight , breadth of back and tail , and vif;or are the parent stock for the next flock Poor results are more ofte n due to the failure to renew the stock annually than fr om any other cause. The next point after the selection of good breeders is their care. You cannot combine egg producin g and breeding. Fowls forced by wet mashes and heavy protein foods for ojir pro - ducin g are not breeders of Komi sound stork. Keep the brooders and layers apart. Push the layers for nil they are worth , but let the breeders live nor- mally with plenty of fresh air and ex- ercise , and instead of one weak chick- en hatched from ten cgK* set , there will be eight , nine , or even ten vigor- mis chicks Besides the various branches of tbe poultry industry, feeding, matin s, con- si ruction , care , and temperature of houses , and the various "systems " ad- certized were discussed. In conclud- ing. Professor Graham made a pow- erful appeal for aid in put tin s this department of poultry industry on a dignified footing. Though this in- dustry has side tracked all others in the ftnte except horse and cattle rais- ing the appropriation for this work at the Massachusetts Agricultural college is but $5,0(10 as against $90 ,- 000 for New York and $3»'i.00() for Connecticut , salary and maintenance not included. These appropriations were secured lar gely throu gh poultr y organizations and it is to be hoped that those Interested in this industry and in sympathy with its progress will impre sB their interest upon their senator and representative or at least will hasten to join the Poultry Or- (r.infzation of Massachusetts. By the numbers of poultry farmers taking in- structional work at the college, by requests for extension lectures , by the large general correspondence , and eager requests by poultry men for confe rences at the college or at their plants , it will be seen that poultry men in general are beginning to real- ise the Importance of the Industr y, ntid are endeavoring to rai wo it to the standard of other departmen tK of ag- ricultur e nillous?
