CHAPTER II. Continued.
"That Is unfortunate. I Ftnppcd
here InHt night on purpoHo to boo him,
and now I foar that t must leave "
and he snilled the Grlswold Bmlle,
which was one of the Krcreta of Ma
popularity at the university "I must
leave Columbia la a very few min
utes." "The office does not keep very early
hours," remarked the girl, "but some
one will certainly bo here In a mo
ment. I am sorry you have had to
wait."
"It was not 1." said Griswold, "who
bo rudely shook the door. I beg that
you will acquit ino of that violence."
The girl did not, however, respond
to his smile. She poked tho floor with
her paraRol a moment, then raised
her bead and asked:
"Who was It, If you please ?"
"A gentleman with a hrown board,
a rod necktie, and a bad disposition."
'1 thought aa much," she Bald, half
to herself, and her ryes were bent
again upon the point of her parasol,
with which she was tracing a design
In the rug. She lifted her head with
the abruptness of quick decision, and
looked straight at Grlswold. The
ncgre8s had withdrawn to the outer
door, by which she sat with sphinx
like immovability.
"I am Miss Osborne. Gov. Osborno
Is my father. Would you mind telling
me whether your business with my
father Is"
She hesitated, and her eyes met
Grl8wold's.
"MIhb Osborne, as I have no ac
quaintances here, let tne introduce
myself. My nnmo is Grlswold. My
home la Charlottesville Tardon me,
but you and I were fellow-passengers
from Atlanta yesterday evening. I
am unacquainted with your father,
and I have no business with him ex
cept" He was not yet clear In his mind
whether to tell her trwt her father's
life was threatened: It did not seem
fair to alarm her when he was power
less to help; but as he weighed the
question the girl came out Into the
recoptlon-room and sat down near the
window.
"Won't you have a seat, Mr. Grls
wold T May I ask you again whether
you know the gentleman who came
In hero end beat tho door awhile ago?"
"I never saw him before in my life."
"That Is very well. And now, Mr.
Grlswold, I am going to nek you to
tell me, if you will. Just what it Is
you wish to say to my father."
She was very earnest, and tho re
quest she mado rang the least bit im
periously. She now held the white
paraBol across her lap In the tight
clasp of her white-gloved hands.
"Mjr reason forviBhlng to see your
father Is, to warn him that If a crim
inal named Applewelght Is brought
back from his hiding-place on the
North Carolina frontier, and tried for
his crimes In South Carolina, the
governor of that Btate, your father,
will be mado to suffer by Apple
weight's friends."
"That is what I thought," said the
girl, slowly nodding her head.
"And now, to bo quite honest about
It, Miss Osborne, I must confeBB that
I received this warning last night
from a man who believed me to be
the governor. To tell the truth, I told
him I was the governor!"
The girl's eyes made a fresh Inven
tory of Grlswold, then she laughed
for the first time a light laugh of
honest mirth that would not be gain
said. The beautiful color deepened in
her cheeks: her eyes llgh'd merrily,
as though at the drollery of Grlswold
Btandlng, so to speak. In loco parentis.
"I have my own confession to make.
I heard what you said to that man. I
had gone to the rear platform to aee
what was the matter. The stop there
In that preposterous place seemed in
terminable. You must have known
that I listened."
"I didn't suppose you heard what
that man said to me or what I said
to him. I don't know how I came to
palm myself off as the governor I
am not In the habit of doing such
things, but It was due, I think, to tho
fact that I had Just been saying to a
friend of mine at Atlanta "
Dialress was again written In Miss
Osborne's face. She hnd paid little
heed to the latter half of Grlswold's
recital, though she kept her eyes fixed
gravely upon him. In a moment the
gentleman In blue serge who had
manifested bo much feeling over the
governor's, absent o strode again Into
the room.
"Ah,: Miss' Osborno, bo , you are
back"
Ho bowed over tho girl s hand with
a groat dual .ot manner, then glanced
at onco towurd the door of the private
ofllco.
"HaHu't your father come in yet?
I have been looking for him since
eight o'clock."
"My father is not home yet, Mr.
KoHwortb."
"Not home! Do you mean to say that
he won't be here today?"
"I hardly expect him." replied the
girl calmly. "Very likely he will bo
at home to-night or In the morning."
Grlswold hud walked away out of
hearing; but he folt that the girl pur
posedly raised her voice so that he
might hour what she said.
"I tnuBt know where he Is; there's
an Important matter waiting a very
serious matter It may prove for him
r- -T -J" 'T i-j
El
"V -j
if .ho isn't here to-day to pass on It
I must wire him at onre."
"Very good. You had better do so,
Mr. Hon worth. lies at the Teach
Tree, chin, Atlanta."
"Atlanta! Do you mean to say that
ho Isn't even In thin state to-day?"
"No, Mr. Dosworth. and I advise you
to telegraph him Immediately if your
business is so urgent."
"It isn't my business, Barbara; it's
the statu's business; it's your father'H
business, and if he Isn't here to at
tend to it. by to-niorrow at the latest,
It will go Lard with Mm. lie has ene
mies who will construe his absence as
meaning "
Ho spoke rapidly, with rising anger,
but Borne gesture from the girl arrest
ed him, and he turned frowningly to
see Grlswold calmly Intent upon an
engravins at the further end of the
room. The colored woman was dozing
In her chair. Ilefore llosworth could
resume, the girl spoke, her voice
again raised so that every .word
reached Grlswold.
"If you refer to the Applewelght
case, I must tell you, Mr. llosworth,
that I have all confidence that my fa
ther will act whenever he Bees .fit."
"But the people "
"My father Is not afraid of the peo
ple," said the girl quietly.
"But you don't understand, Barbara,
how much la at stake here. If some
action isn't taken In that matter with
in 24 hours your father will be brand
ed as a coward by every newspaper In
tho state. You seem to take it pretty
coolly, but It won't be a trifliflg mat
ter for him."
"I believe," repllorl (he girl, rising,
"that you have said all that I caro
to hear from you now or at any fur
ther time, Mr. llosworth, about this
or any other matter."
"But, Barbara "
Miss Osborno turned her back and
walked to the window. Bosworth
stared a moment, then rushed angrily
from tho room. Grlswold abandoned
his study of the picture, and gravely
Inclined hla head an Bosworth passed.
Then he waited n minute. The girl
still stood at the window, and there
was, Grlswold felt, something a little

licity."
forlorn In her figure. It was quite
time that he was off If he caught his
train for Richmond. He crossed the
room, and as he approached the win
dow Miss Osborne turned quickly.
"It was kind of you to wait. That
man is the state's attorney general.
You doubtless heard what he said to
me."
"Yes, Miss Osborne, 1 could not
help hearing. I did not leave, because
I wished to say "
The associate profesKor of admiralty
In the department of law of the Uni
versity of Virginia hesitated and was
lost. Miss Osborne's eyes were brown,
with that hint of bronze, in certain
lights, that is the distinctive posses
sion of the blessed. Health .ajj spirit
spoke in her bright color. She was
tall and straight, and there was some
thing militant in her figure as she
faced Grlswold.
"Mr. Grlswold, . I have no claim
whatever on your kindness, but I nni
in very greut distress. I don't Bee just
where 1 can turn for uld to any one
I know. But you as a stranger may
bo able to help mo if it isn't asking
too much but then I know it is ask
ing too much!"
"Anything, anything w luite . i ,"
urged Grlswold kindly.
"Mr. Iloswortli,.the attorney general,
warns me that if my father does not
use the power of the state to capture
thl3 outlaw Applewcight, the results
will bo disastrous." lie says my fa
ther must act Immediately. 11,. de
manded his address, and, ami I nave
it to him "
"But you must remember, Mis Os
borne, that tho attorney general prob
ably knows the intricacies of this
cae. Ho must have every reason for
upholding your father; in fact, It's lilx
sworn duty to advise him In such mst
ters as this."
"Th.re's nhrr f''1" to that, Mr.
GrlKwold," and thy? girl's color deep
ened; but she smiled and went on. It
waa quite evident that she was ani
mated now by some purpose, and that
she was resolved to avail herself of
Orlswold's proffered Rid.
"This whole matter must bo kept
as quiet as possible. I can appeal to
no one here without the risk of news
paper publicity which wou'd do my
father very great injury. But If It la
not altogether too great a favor, Mr.
Grlswold, may I ask that you remain
here until tonight until my father
returns? His secretary has been 111
and Is nway from town. The other
clerks I sent away on purpose this
morning. Father had left his office
keys at home, and came in to see if
I could find the papers in the Apple
weight case. They are there, and on
the top of the packet Is n requisition
on the governor of North Carolina for
Applewclght's return."
"Signed?"
"Signed. I'm sure he had only de
ferred acting in the case until his re
turn, and he should have been back
to-day."
"But of course he will be back; It
Is Inconceivable tht he should Ignore,
must less evade, a duty as plain as
this the governor of a state It Is
preposterous! Ills business In At
lanta accounts for his absence. Gov.
Osborne undoubtedly knows what he
Is about."
"My father la not in Atlanta, Mr.
Grlswold. He Is not at the Peach Tree
club, and has not been. I have not
the Hlightost Idea where inv father
is!"
The echoing whistle of the depart
ing Virginia express reached them
faintly ns they stood facing each oth
er before the open window in the govt
ernor's reception room.
CHAPTER III.
The Jug and Mr. Ardmore.
Mr. Thomas Ardmore of New Yorl
nnd Ardsley. having Been his friend
Grlswold depart, sought a book-shop
where, as In many other book shops
throughout the United States, he kept
a standing order for any works touch
ing piracy, a subject, which, as al
ready hinted, had long afforded him
infinite diversion. He had several
hours to wait for his train to New
Orleans, and he was delighted to find
that the bookseller, whom he had
known only by correspondence, had
just procured for him, through the
dispersion of a Georgia planter's val
uable library, that exceedingly rare
narrative, "Tho Golden Galleons of the
Caribbean," by Domingeuz y I'ascual
a beautifully bound copy of the orig
inal Madrid edition.
With this volume under his arm
Ardmore returned to the hotel where
the Risk of Newspaper Pub-
he was lodged and completed his ar
rangements for leaving. It should be
known that Mr. Thomas Ardmore
was a person of democratic tastes and
habits. In his New York house were
two servants whoso Bole business it
was to keep himself and his wardrobe
presentable; yet he preferred to travel
unattended.
When he had finished packing his
trunk he went down to the dinner he
had ordered to be in readiness ut a
certain hour, nt a certain table, care
fully chosen beforehand; for Ardmore
was very exacting In such matter?
and had on eye to tho comforts of
life, as he understood them.
As he crossed the hotel lobby on his
way to the restaurant he was accosted
by o reporter for tho Atlanta Palla
dium, who began to question him
touching various Ardmores who were
Just then filling rather more than
their usual amount of Bpneo in tho
newspapers. Ardmore's family, with
the single exception of his 8lstnr,
Mrs. Atchison, bored him lininen.,!y.
His two brothers and another sister,
the duchess of Ballywlnkle, kept tho
family nr.iue In dli'pluy typo n great
deal of the time, and their perform
ances had practically driven Thomas
Arilinoie from New York. The re
porter was a well-inannt red youth
and Ardmore shook his hand encour
agingly, lie was rather curious to
see what new Incident in the family
history waa to he the subieet of In
iiulsition, and the reporter Immediate
ly set hlH mind at rest.
"Pardon me, Mr. Ardmore, but !s It
true that your ulster, the duchess of
Iiallywlnkle, has separated from the
duke?"
Ardmore hesitated and turned hla
head cautiously.

During very cold weather it Is ab

The western man knows that when
hla lambs go to market, a carload
from a well-bred, thoroughbred sire
will go for a dollar per head more than
for a scrub. They have proved it
many a time.
In buying a brooder the chief points
to be observed are: A good lamp, a
heating device giving off the heat
from a central drum, and an arrange
ment which facilitates easy cleaning.
Science says Impure food fed to
poultry Is the cause of many diseases
In man. Then as poultrymen we
should be careful what we feed our
poultry and the care we give It
There is little need of buying expen
sive grains for swine, when main
tained on farms, or of feeding much
grain, except to nursing mothers or
in fitting for market
A few sunflower seeds planted
around the henhouse and yards will
not only add to the appearance of
the place, bat will furnish good food
later In the season.
Brooder-lamps are often exposed to
the wind, and. If cheaply constructed
or poorly enclosed, the result will be a
chilled brood of chicks, or perhaps a
fire.
Not every one may hope to own
prize-winning herds, but let us do the
best we can by breeding up. There is
no wisdom in keeping poor cows.
We have our choice of the breeds
and may be enthusiastic about them.
The breed you like is the breed with
which you will succeed.
There Is much less danger of over
watering a hard working horse if he
Is watered often than if allowed to be
come very thlrsiy.
Feed Is too high to allow unprofita
ble animals to consume it when pay
ing cows can be obtained for the same
amount of money.
A five-gallon can Is the most favored
package for shipping extracted honey.
For packing honey In small tin pack

There Is room on every farm for

Never attempt to fatten birds which,
In successive weighing, show a loss

To prevent the air from reaching
the silage ail silos must have air
tight walls.
The large, up-to-date hoghouse Is
not only unnecessary but of doubtful
benefit.
Never treat turkeys like cage birds.

New land will raise a crop e.isily
but it takes taro and labor to keep tho
old fields productive.

cannot make good returns without
plenty of good feed.
It never pays to be a dairyman by

Never plow furrows up and down
the face of a hill tf they can as well
be run across its face. In such place
there Is no fear of water lying so aa
to do damage, but there Is great
chance of a drought lessening the
yield. This Is especially the case If
furrows up and down the hill provide
facilities for a quick run-off In case
of a downpour of rain. Whore there
are no such furrows for the escape ot
the water, it will be much more likely
to soak In.
Corn Is In Ideal condition for the
Pilo when It Is in ideal condition to ba
cut for fodder, 1. e., when the kernels
are well glased and just before the
foliage begins to brown. Corn at this
stage Introduced Into a well-constructed
silo and carefully spread and well
tramped has never failed In our ex
perience to produce Ideal silage.
Hogs make their most profitable
growth in summer, when they are
young, but this will not be true un
less they have something to eat.
Plenty of pasture and milk with

a time when they are beat able to
respond and when pork Is made most
cheaply.
After the pigs are two weeks old
they may be turned Into a lot to
gether, where they may be fed with
out being disturbed by the sows. The
feeding lot of the pigs should be con
nected with the sow's pen by a small
opening through which they may pass
back and forth at will.
Alfalfa Is making good In the east
and farmers are realizing that It Is
comparatively easy to get a stand, by
the use of lime and plenty of stable
manure. This Is Ideal pasture for
swine and no harm will be done the
crop If pastured lightly.
There are no secrets about good
dairying. The farm journals tell all
there is about It over and over, but
the man who does not read and apply
modern methods remains In Ignor
ance, and possesses an empty pocket
book. The average dairy farmer takes It
as a matter of course that cows us
ually shrink during the fall and fall
away In their flesh condition, and
therefore he makes uo plans to re
move the cause of the falling away.
A good brood sow of whatever
breed must have a big feeding capa
city in order to produce plenty of
milk. For this reason it Is never wise
to buy a sow with a short, chunky
body set on too short legs.
In buying a farm one of the most
important things to consider Is the
matter of water for the stock. No
animal on the farm can be expected
to do its best without free access to
good water.
Idle horses need good, judicious
care. There are Instances where val

If one waits until husking time to

Benefits can be derived from even a
