CHAPTER I. Continued.
"Nv. If I endow all the chairs In the
rowersity! You've not only got to
come, but you're going to be there
tho day they arrive."
Thomas Ardmoro of New York and
Ardsley struck hla heavy stick he
always carried a heavy stlrk smartly
on the cement platform In tho stress
of Ms feeling. Ho was nuirh shorter
than firlswold. to whom he was deep
ly attached for whom he had, Indeed,
tho frank admiration of a small boy
for n big brother. Ho sometimes
wondered how fully Orlswold entered
Into tho projects of adventure which
he, In his supreme idleness, planned
and proposed; but he himself had
never been quite ready to mount
horse or shake out sail, and what
Orlswold had said about indecision
rankled In his heart. Ho was sorry
now (hut he had told of this new en
terprise to which he had pledged him
self, but he grew lenient toward Oris
wold's lack of sympathy as bo re
flected that the quest of a winking
girl was rather beneath tho dignity
of a gentleman wedded not merely to
the law, but to the austere teaching
profession ns well. In his heart he
forgave Oriswold, but he was all the
more resolved to address himself stub
bornly to his pursuit of the deity of
tho car Alexandra, for only by finding
her could he establish himself In Grls
wold's eyeB as a man of action,
capable of carrying through a scheme
requiring cleverness and tact.
Ardmore was almost painfully rich,
but the usual diversions of the wealthy
did not. appeal to him, and, having ex
hausted foreign travel, he spent much
time on his estate In the North Caro
lina hills, where ho could ride all
day on his own land, and where he
read prodigiously In a huge library
that he had assembled with special
reference to works on piracy, a sub
ject that had attracted him from early
youth.
It was this hobby that had sealed
his friendship with Oriswold, who had
relinquished the practice of law, after
a brilliant start in his native city of
Richmond, to accept the associate pro
fessorship of admiralty In the law de
partment of the University of Vir
ginia. Marine law hnd ft particular
fascination for Oriswold from its es
sentially romantic character. As a
law student he had read all the de
cisions In admiralty that the libraries
afforded, and, though faithfully serv-1
Ing the university, he still occasional
ly accepted retainers in admiralty
cases of unusual importance. His lec
tures were constantly attended by
students in other departments of the
university for sheer pleasure in Oris
wold's racy and entertaining exposi
tion of the laws touching the libeling
of schooners and the recovery of
jettisoned cargoes. Henry Maine
Orlswold was tall, slender and dark,
and he hovered recklessly, as he
might have put It, on tbe brink of
thirty. Ho stroked his thin brown
mustache habitually, as though to hide
the smile that played about his hu
morous mouth a eml! that lay even
more obscurely In his fine brown eyes.
He did violence to the acndemlc tradi
tions by dressing with metropolitan
care, gray being his prevailing note,
though his scarfs ventured upon bold
color schemes that Interested his stu
dents almost as much as his lectures.
Tho darkest fact of his life and one
uhared with none was his experi
ments in verse. From his undergrad
uate days he had written occasionally
a little song, quite for his own pleas
ure In versifying, and to a little sheaf
of these things In manuscript he still
added a few verses now and then.
"Don't worry, Ardy," he was sayingt
to his friend as "all aboard" waa
called, "and don't be reckless. Wheq
you get through looking for the wink
ing eye, come up to Charlottesville
and we'll plan "The True Life of
Onpt. Kldd" that is some day going
to make us famous."
"I'll wire you later," replied Ard
more, clinging to his frlend'i hand a
moment after the train began to move.
Grlswold leaned out of the vestibule
to wave a last farewell to Ardmore,
and something very kind and gentle
and good to seo shone In the law
yer's eyes. Ho went Into the car
smiling, for ho called Ardmore his
best friend, and he was amused by his
last words, which were always Ard
more's last In their partings, and
were followed usually by telegrams
about the most preposterous things,
or suggestions for romantic adven
tures, or some new hypothesis touch
ing Capt. Kldd and bis burled treas
ure. Ardmore never wrote lettors;
he always telegraphed, and he en
Joyed llllng long, mysterious and ex
pensive messages with telegraph oper
ators In obscure places where a
scrupulous ten words was tho frugal
limit.
Oriswold lighted a cigar and opened
the afternoon Atlanta papers In the
smoking compartment. His rye was
caught at once by Imperative head
lines. It Is not too much to say that
the eye of the continent was arrested
that evening by the amarlng disclos
ure, now tardily reaching the public,
that something unusual had occurred
at the annual meeting of the Cotton
Planters' association at New Orleans
on the previous day. Every copy
reader and editor, every paragrapher
on every newspaper In the land had
smiled and reached for a fresh pencil
as a preliminary bulletin announced
the passing of harsh words between
the go'ernor of North Carolina and
i r a s i 2 :
r TTvr V

riiii;i
r.l I I CeH!
the governor of South Carolina. It
. . . j w . I !) ' M ..J... t. ., I. ( I
that Just what really happened at the
Cotton Planters' convention will
never be known, for this particular
meeting was held behind closed doors,
and as tho tvo governors were
honored guests of the nrsoclation. no
member hns ever breathrd a word
toucliitii; an Incident that all most
sincerely deplored. Indeed, no hint
of It would ever have reached the pub
lic h;id it. not been that both gentle
men hurriedly left the convention hall,
refused to keep their appointments to
speak at the banquet that followed
the business meeting, and were re
ported to have taken the first, trains
for their respective capitals. It was
whispered by a few persons that tho
governor of South Carolina had
taken a fling at the authenticity of
the Mecklenburg Declaration of Inde
pendence; it was rumored in other
qunrters that tbe governor of North
Carolina was the agRTensor, he having
it was said declared that a people
(meaning the freemen of tbe rommon
wealth of South Carolina) who were
not intelligent enough to raise their
own hay, and who, moreover, bought
that article in Ohio, wore not worth
the ground necessnry for their decent
Interment. It 13 not the purpose of
this chroniclo either to seek the truth
of what passed between tho two gov
ernors at New Orleans, or to discuss
the points of history and agriculture
raised in the statements just indi
cated. As every one knows, the 20th
of May (or was it the 31st! ), 1775, is
solemnly observed In North Carolina
as tho day on which the patriots of
Mecklenburg county severed the re
lations theretofore existing between
them and his majesty, King George
the Third. Kqually well known is the
fact that in South Carolina It Is an
article of religious faith that on that
twentieth day of May, 1775, the citi
zens of Mecklenburg county. North
Carolina, cheered the English flag nnd
adopted resolutions reaffirming their
ancient allegiance to the British
crown. This controversy and the In
adequacy of the South Carolina hay
crop must be passed on to the pamph
leteers, with such other vexed ques
tions as Andrew .lackson's birth
place more debated than Homer's
and not to bo carelessly conceded to
the strutting sons of Waxhaw.
. Oriswold read of the New Orleans
Incident with a smllo, while several
Lighted a Cigar and Opened the After-
fellow-passengers discussed It In a
tone of banter. On of them, a gen
tleman from Mississippi, presently
produced a flask, which he offered to
the others, remarking: "As the gov
ernor of North Carolina said to the
governor of South Carolina." which
was, to be sure, pertinent to the hour
and the discussion, and bristling with
fresh significance.
"They were both in Atlanta ihls
morning," said the man with the
flask, "and they would have Bem
traveling together on this train If
they hadn't mot In the ticket office
and nearly exploded with rage."
The speaker waa suddenly overcome
with his own humor, and slapped his
knee and laughed; then they all
laughed, Including Orlswold.
"One ought to have taken the lower
berth and one the upper to make It
perfect," observed an Alabama man.
"I wonder when they'll get home."
"They'll probably both walk to he
sure they don't take the same train,"
suggested a commercial traveler from
Cincinnati, who had Just come from
New Orleans. "Their friends are do
ing their best to keep them apart.
They both have a reputation for being
quick on the trigger."
"Ilosh!" exclnimed Oriswold. "I
dare say It's all a newspaper story.
There's no knifeandptstol nonsense
In the south any more. They'll both
go home and attend to their business,
and that will be the last of It. The
people of North Carolina ought to be
proud of Dangerfleld; he's one of the
beet governor! they cm had. And
.xinorne It a firs' r'x mm, too, one
of the old Pahm t'.o "families."
The discussion hnd uenn to bore
Oriswold. and he went bark to bl8
own section, having It In mind to re
vise a lerture ho was preparing on
"The night of Search on the High
Sen;.." It had grown dark, nnd the
ear w.i:i brilliantly lighted. There
were not more th:;n half a dozea
oilier persons In his sleeper, and these
were widely scattered. Having taken
an Inventory of his belongings to be
sure they were all at hand, he be
came conscious of tho presence of a
young lady in the opposite section.
In the seat behind her ml an old
colored women in snowy cap and
,ipron, who was evidently the yonng
lady's servant. Oriswold was aware
that (his dusky duenna bristled and
frowned and pursed her lips In the
way of her picturesque kind as he
glanced at her, as though his pres
ence were in Intrusion upon her mis
tress, who sat withdrawn to the ex
treme corner of her section, seeking
Its fullest seclusion, with her head
against a pillow, nnd the tips of her
suede shoes showing under her gray
traveling skirt on the further half of
the section. She twirled idly In her
fingers a half-opened white rosebnd
a fact unimportant In Itself, but des
tined to linger long In Orlswold's
memory. The pillow afforded the hap
piest possible background for her
brown head, her cheek bright with
color, and a profile clear-cut, and Just
now an impression due, perhaps, to
the slight quiver of her nostrils and
tho compression of her lips seemingly
disdainful of the world.
The black woman rose and minis
tered to her mistress, muttering In
kind monotone consolatory phrases
from which "chile" and "honey" occa
sionally reached Orlswold's ears. The
old mammy produced from a bag sev
eral toilet bottles, a fresh handker
chief, a hand mirror and a brush,
which she nr. ..nged in the empty seat.
"Thank you. Aunt Phoebe, I'm feel
ing much btter. Just let me alone
now, please."
The girl put aside the white rose
for a moment and breathed deeply of
the vinaigrette, whose keen, pungent
odor stole across the aisle to Oris
wold. She bent forward, took up the
hand mirror, nnd brushed the hair
away from her forehead with half a
dozen light strokes. She touched her
handkerchief to the cologne flask,
passed It across her eyes, and then
took up the rose again and settled
back with a little sigh of relief. In
her , new upright position her gaze
rested upon Oriswold's newspapers,
which he had flung down on the empty
half of his section. One of them had
fallen open and lay with its outer
pago staring with the bold grin of
display type.
TWO GOVERNORS AT WAR!
What Did the Governor of North
Carolina Say to the Governor
of South Carolina?
Tbe color deepened in the girl's
face; a slight frown gathered In her
smooth forehead; then she called tht.
noon Atlanta Paper.
colored woman and a brief colloquy
followed between them. In a moment
Oriswold was addressed In a tone and
manner at once condescending and
deferential.
"If yo' please, sub, would yo' all 'low
my mlstus t' look at yo' newspapahs?"
"Certainly. Take them aloDg."
Orlswold noted with surprise the
girl's immediate absorption In the
telegrams from New Orleans relating
to the difficulty between the two
governors.
As she read she lost, he thought,
someUiing of her splendid color, and
at one point in her reading hor face
went white for a moment, and Orls
wold saw the paper wrinkle under the
tightening grasp of her hands. The
tidings from New Orleans had un
doubtedly aroused her indignation
She seemed to lose account of her
surroundings, and several times Oris
wold was quite sun' that he heard her
half exclaim: "Preposterous! Infa
mono!"
When she hsd finished the New Or
leans telegrams rhe cnM the offend
Ing newspapers from her. then, recall
Ing herself, summoned the black
woman, and rf-t timed them trt Oris
wold, the dusky agent expressing the
elaborate thanks of her race for his
courtesy. The girl had utterly Ignored
Orlswold, and she now pulled down
the curtain at her elbow with a snap
and turned her face away from Mm

'Candling" eggs upon their arrival
In the city results In throwing out
many thousands of dozens each year.
Five per cent, of them all are culled
as "dirties" and sold at a reduced
price causing the loss of millions of
dollars every year.
The best medicine for poultry Is
pood care. Cleanliness, light, warmth,
flry houses, sound feet and pure wa
ter are better than the whole list of
remedies. These are the "ounces of
prevention" thtat save the "pounds of
rure."
Unless free from lice, no flock will
thrive as It ought, and the owner
should help the chicks rid themselves
of these pests by providing proper
iust baths and occasionally dusting
them himself with insect powder.
It is a good plan to give the young
pigs a good start along eaily In life.
Very many make the mistake of
crimping the pigs, thereby expecting
to get more lean meat. The muscles
grow when the pigs grow.
There are yet a few dairymen who
think they can judge a cow by her
conformation. To satisfy yourself,
keep the accurate record of every cow
In the herd and see how form and per
formance coincide.
A poultry house need not be artifi
cially heated to be warm enough for
the hens to be comfortable and lay
eggs, but it should be built very tight
nnd snug, so as to exclude all drafts
nf cold air.
It Is easier to make a man a better
dairy feeder by suggestion than by
command. That's why the test asso
ciation is so valuable. When he sees
how It helps he Is a willing learner.
Mulch dahlias, cannas, caladlums
and like plants with coarse manure
and deluge with water. If water can
not be had, withhold the manure, as
manure alone is drying.
Eggs and meat are the foundation
of the poultry buslnes. Let us aim for
this standard more, then we will have
better "standard breed" and mor
profitable poultry.
rne sarest rule is to commence
feeding In good season if the pastures
begin to fall and not wait until the
cows actually begin to fail in milk
production.
To supply good food for the dairy
It Is necessary to exercise fore
thought and plan for the fall season
which is sure to come every year.
Many horses have eore shoulders be
cause their owners try to fit their
horses into their collars rather than
getting collars to fit their horses.
There are bee-keepers ail over the
United States who, with a favorable
locality and good management .are
making an excellent living.
Probably no single cause tends more
to check milk secretion than the fall
ure to remove all the milk secreted
Bt tbe Umo of milking.
A tread power rigged up to run the
separator will save a lot of hand labor
and pive the ram or bull much needed
exercise.
Pucks nnd geese should have plenty
of fresh water to drink as soon as
they are hatched.
There is no one stated ration that,
should be fed to poultry or laying
hens In winter.
Are you getting the best possible
results from your bees?
A cow that has a good appetite,
eats heartily and keeps thin In flesh
while giving milk Is usually a good
one to keep.
To make butter of good quality the
fundamental principles of cream ripen
ing must be understood.
Whole grain fed constantly to
young chicks will sooner or later
give them leg weakness.
Cheviot ewes rank above tbe aver
age In then- prolific onalltie
Cowi that are expecleJ to return n
profit must hnve liberal rations of tho
kinds of food adapted to their needs.
They must have dry, comfortable and
well ventilated sleeping places and be
kept free from excitement caused by
exposure nnd neglect. The practise
of allowing the dairy herd to run
over the farm nnd be herded bv dogs
and children and compelled to ent
frosty clover nnd fornge cannot be
made to return a profit, even (hough
they may consume waste fodders aud
forne.
Saving the best ewes Is not the only
thing. He must not in-breed. but must
buy tho best sire he can find, not only
In blood-lines, but also in Individuali
ty, a ram that looks like a sire, with
strong head, well-sprung ribs, and
large heart girth, a ram with a strong
hone, two pood ends nnd a good,
straight back. Tho breeder must not
consider his pocket book.
Potato growers who "feed" their
potatoes well, nnd give them good
care, and select the best potatoes for
planting do not need to change their
reed stocV: cery few years In order
to main';. In the ; I;dd. because by so
doirg they maintain the yielding pow
er In the potatoes they already have.
f'vory thinking farmer knows that
there are certain essentials that can
not be ni gloctcd at any season of tho
year if tho cows are kept In condition
to give milk, nnd that if any or all
of these essentials are neglected there
is sure to be a falling away in the
milk yield.
In making a kerosene "emulsion"
of any kind for the eradication of
llee, mit.o:i. flies, etc., great care must
he taken to see that the combination
is surely eniuloifled or serious re
sults may follow and more hide be
"eradicated" than anything else.
Two things that deserve constant
attention at this time are the bits
and the blankets. Never allow a
frosty bit to come in contact with the
horse's mouth and never leave the
team without being well and com
fortably blanketed.
For the average dairyman It Is
cheaper to raise his own cows than
to buy them. Besides, if he has good
cows to begin with he can more wise
ly select the calves because of an inti
mate knowledge of the work of the
mothers.
The black rot of tomatoes Is a dif
ficult disease to control. Applications
of Bordeaux Mixture, if begun when
the tomatoes are just forming and
continued until they are fairly well
grown, will prevent the disease.
It has been predicted by an author
ity that the time Is not far distant
when the small dairyman will not be
able to r.fford pasture. If this time
should come, then indeed would the
silo come into its own.
While the value of the birds to the
farmer, orchardist and planter has for
years been recognized, it is believed
by the authorities that their impor
tance in preserving the forests is not
geuerally known.
A hen should be fed some grain that
she doesn't have to scratch for. Al
though exercise is necessary to keep
her in good health, she needs time to
rest and dust herself in the middle of
the day.
Some hens are born layers, others
acquire the laying habit, others get
credit for being good layers when
they, are not. The trap nest picks
them out and leaves no guess work.
Do not run the risk of perpetuating
weak characteristics in your herd by
breeding animals that are uncertain.
The progeny is sure to inherit all tho
fruits of the parents.
As a rule very little can be done
for dopy chickens. The cause of this
condition Is usually constitutional
weakness; lice, or, error In feeding
and management.
Hill selection of potatoes'may some
times be beneficial for the purpose
of selecting the best strain where the
potatoes consist cf two or more
strains.
Selling the breeding stock because
feed is' dear is Just as sensible as
selling seed grain because you can get
a good price for it. Think this over.
Is the binder properly stored away
for the winter, or will the first enow
storm still find It just where it was
left when drawn out of the field?
During the hot months pansies will
not bloom much; try cutting the plant
back for fall flowering. Hot weather
blooming weakens tho plant.
One good cow is superior to three
poor ones in the dairy; the differ
ence Is the cost of the feed and the
product of the cows.
We would like to see more bee
'eepers at the state fairs, and have
them put up a display of bees and
honey.
Any good type of colt will sell for
more per pound when three years
old than a calf.
Hotter quarters for the poultry need
not mean more elaborate or more ex
pensive houses.
Hogging off the com Is a cheap way
of corning off the hog.
When once pure bred stock has a
place upon your farm you will wonder
how you got atontf so many years
without It.
Weighing the milk is the best
means of registering the capabilities
of a cow and her yield.
It's a bad policy to build such en
elaborate barn that one has to hvy
ordinary cows to fill It.

WHAT HE CONSIDERED FAIR
Mr. Olsen't Offer Must Have Come ae
Surprise Even to Persuasive
Claim Agent
Up In Minnesota Mr. Olsen had a
cow killed by a railroad train. In
due season the claim agent for the
railroad called:
"We understand, of rourse, that the
deceased was a very docile and valu
able animal," said tbe claim agent In
his most persuasive claim-ngentleman-ly
manner, "and we sympathize with
you and your family In your loss. Rut,
Mr. Olsen, you must remember this:
Your cow had no business being upon
our tracks. Those tracks are our pri
vate property and when she Invaded
them she became a trespasser. Tech
loally speaking, you, as her owner,
became a trespasser also. But we
have no desire to carry the Issue Into
court, and possibly give you trouble.
Now, then, what would you regard as
a fair settlement between you and the
railroad company?"
"Vail," said Mr. Olsen slowly, "Aj
