Mr Yancy awoke from a long ! dreamless sleep; heavy-lidded, his ! eyes slid open. For a moment he J struggled with the odds and ends of They saw Yancy's eyes widen with a look of dumb horror. “And you don’t know nothing about my nevvy?—you ain’t seen or heard of him, ma’am?” faltered Yancy. Polly Bhook her head regretfully. “Ten or thereabouts, ma'am. He were a heap of comfort to me—” and the whisper on Yancy's lips was won derfully tender and wistful. He closed his eyes and presently, lulled by the boft ripple that bore them company, fell into a restful sleep. The raft drifted on Into the day’s heat: and when at last Y'ancy awoke, It was to find Henry and Keppel seat ed beside him, each solacing him with a small moist hand. Mrs. Cavendish appeared, bringing Yancy's breakfast. In her wake came Connie with the baby, and the three little brothers who were to be accorded the cher ished privilege of seeing the poor gen tleman eat. Cavendish presented him self at the opening that did duty as a door. "This looks like bein' alive, strang er,” he commented genially. “Y'ou-all ain't told me yo’ name yet?" said Y'ancy. “It's Cavendish. Richard Keppel Cavendish.” “My name's Y'ancy—Bob Yancy.” Mr. Cavendish exchanged glances with Mrs. Cavendish “Stranger, what I'm a-goln' to tell you, you'll take as bein' said man to man,” he began, with the Impressive air of one who had a secret of great moment to impart. “Ever hear tell of lords?” “No.” Y'ancy was quick to notice the look of disappointment on the laces of his new friends. “Are you ever heard of royalty?” and Cavendish fixed the Invalid's wandering glance. “You mean kingsV “I shore do.” Y'ancy made a mighty mental effort. “There's them Bible kings—” he ventured at length. Mr. Cavendish shook his head. “Them's sacred kings. Are you fa miliar with any of the profane kings, Mr. Y'ancy?” “Well, taking them as they come, them Bible kings seemed to average Hi« Face Went White and the Book Slipped From His Fingers. memory, then he recalled the tight at ' the tavern. Suddenly a shadow fell obliquely acroes the foot of his narrow bed, ■ ud Cavendish, bending bis long body si :newhat. thrust his head In at the opening. 'How are you. strangerT’ he de manded. in a soft drawl. Where am IT” The words were a «ht«i>er on Yancy's bearded lips. ’ Well, sir, you are In the Tennes see river fo" certain.

Yancy was disposed to defend this point. "You must a heard of the kings of England. Sho', wa'n't any of yo' tolks In the war agin’ him?” "I'd plumb forgot, why my daddy lit all through the war!" exclaimed Yancy. The Cavendishes were Im mensely relieved. "Now you-all keep still," said Cav endish. "I want Mr. Yancy should get the straight of this here! The vari ous orders of royalty are kings, dukes, earls and lords. Earls is the third from the top of the heap, but lords ain’t no slouch." "Dick had ought to know, fo* he’s an earl himself," cried Polly exultant ly. ”Sho,’ Richard Keppel Cavendish. Earl of Lambeth! Sho’, that was what he was! Sho'!" and some transient feeling of awe stamped Itself upon their small faces as they viewed the long and limber figure of their par . ent. "These here titles go to the eldest gon. He begins by bein' a viscount,” continued Chills and Fever. "It was my great grandfather come over hers from England. His name was Klch ard Keppel Cavendish, same as mins is. He lived back yonder on the Caro lina coast and went to raisin' tobac co. I’ve heard my grandfather tell all about it “My grandfather said he never knowed a man with the same aver sion agin labor as his father had. Folks put it down to laziness, but they misjudged him, as come out later, yet he never let on. "Then one day he got his hands on a paper that had come acrost in a ship from England. All at once, he lit on something In the paper, and he started up and let out a yell like he'd been shot. 'By gum. I'm the Earl of Lambeth!' he says, and took out to the nearest tavern and got b'ilin’ full. Afterward he showed 'era the paper and they seen with their own eyes where Ktchard Keppel Cavendish. Earl of Lambeth, had died In London. My great grandfather told ’em that was his uncle; that when he left home there was several cousins—but they'd up and died, so the title come to him. He never done a lick of work after that. “I'm an orphan man of title now and it's been my dream to take Polly and the children and go back to Eng land and see the king about my title. Don’t you reckon he's got the notion the Cavendishes has petered out?" Mr. Yancy considered this likely. The furious shrieking of a steam packet’s whistle broke in upon them. “It's another of them hawgs, want in’ all the river!” said Mr. Cavendish, and fled to the steering oar. CHAPTER XIV. The Judge Sees a Ghost. Charley Norton’s good offices did not end when he had furnished Judge Price with a house, for Betty required of him that he should supply that gentleman with legal business as well. Thus It happened that Judge Price, before he had been ""three days In Raleigh, received a civil note from Mr. Norton asking him to search the title to a certain timber tract held by one Joseph Quald. The Judge, power fully excited, told Mahaffy he was be ing understood and appreciated. The immediate result of Norton's communication had been to send the judge up the street to the court house. He would show his client that he could be punctual and painstaking. Entering the court house, he found himself in a narrow hall. He entered the county clerk's office. He was al ready known to this official, whose name was Saul, and he now greeted him. "A little matter of business brings me here, sir," began the judge, with a swelling chest and mellow accents. “I am in some haste to look up a title for my client. Mr. Norton." Mr. Saul scrambled up out of the depths of his chair and exerted him self in the judge’s behalf. "This is what you want, sir. Better take the ledger to the window, the light in here ain't much." He drew forward a chair as he spoke, and the judge, seating himself, began to pol ish his spectacles with great delibera tion. "You've set on the bench, sir?” sug gested Mr. Saul. "In one of the eastern counties, but my Inclination has never been toward the judiciary.” He was turning the leaves of the ledger as he spoke. "Found It?” asked Mr. Saul. But the judge gave him no answer; he was staring down at the open pages of the book. "Found the entry?” re peated Mr. Saul. "Eh—what’s that? No—” he ap peared to hesitate. “Who is this man Quintard?” "He's the owner of a hundred-thou sand-acre tract in this and abutting counties," said Mr. Saul. "Who has charge of the land?” "Colonel Fentress; he was old Gen eral Ware's law partner. I've heard it was the general who got this man Quintard to make the Investment, but that was before my time." The judge lapsed into silence. A step sounded in the narrow hall. An instant later the door was pushed open, and grateful for any Interrup tion that would serve to take Mr. Saul’s attention from himseir, the judge abruptly turned his back on the clerk and began to examine the record before him. Insensibly, how ever. the cold, level tones of the voice that was addressing itself to Mr. Saul quickened the beat of his pulse, the throb of his heart, and struck back through the years to a day from which he reckoned time. He turned slowly, as it in dread. What he saw was a man verging on sixty, lean and dark, with thin, shaven cheeks of a bluish cast above the jaw. and a strongly aquiline pro file. Long, black,locks swept the col lar of his coat, w hile his tall, spare figure was habited in sleek broadcloth and spotless linen. For a moment the judge seemed to struggle with doubt. [ then his face went white and the book slipped from his fingers to the win dow ledge. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

Paris The reinforced concrete in the lat ter dates back only 300 or 400 years, but created much comment because tbe walls were thought to consist en tirely of ashlar and quarry stone. The discovery that the stone casing con cealed a core composed in part of re inforced concrete was made while workmen were piercing the wall for an elevator installation. Would Not Part With Dog.

"What are you doing here?" "I was merely reflecting upon the j peculiar difference oratory has upon different people.” said the other statesman. "And what Induced that train of thought?" asked the first senator, i much amused, by reason of the fact, well known to him and to others, that his colleague was anything but an "oratorical” personage. "My speech of this afternoon.” ex plained the senator. "Do you know, that speech kept me awake for four nights, and today It put all who heard it asleep!" Real Object of Life.

CONFORMATION IS ESSENTIAL IN BREEDING DRAFT HORSES Of the 100,000 Animals Marketed at Chicago Not Mors Than 5,000 Would he Termed A-l—Economy of Heavy Mare on Farm for Work and Produ cing Colts is Summed Up by Expert, An Excellent Farm Team. There are a number of considera tions for the farmers to keep in mind in breeding horses for the draft horse trade. Among these are that size, weight, condition and character each bear an important influence in de termining the prices paid on the mar kets and therefore that this influence is reflected upon the prices which they receive from the country ship pers and buyers, says the Wisconsin Agriculturist. Nothing that influences the large central markets for the prod ucts of the farm fails to affect the sale of a single article directly on the farm. Probably the one thing which the general run of horses that reach the markets lack more often than any other is size and incidentally there fore weight. It is stated from good authority that there are more good horses marketed in the Union Stock Yards at Chicago than any other place in the United States, and yet of the 100,000 horses marketed there not more than 25,000 would weigh over 1,550 pounds, and not more than 5,000 were what would he termed A-l horses. First class draft horses for the city trade should not weigh less than 1,600 pounds when in working condition, and if they weigh 1,750 pounds they will satisfy all the better. To carry such weights horses should stand about 16 hands high or over and shonld have conformations in proportion. ! their cost of maintenance and raise colts worth §1,000. The economy of the heavy mare on I the farm, both from the standpoint of ! doing farm work and producing colts compared with light and medium i weight mares is nicely summed up as follows by Secretary Dinsmore of the Percheron Society of America: “The cost of maintenance under farm con ditions is about the same, the heavier mares are more efficient in the work of the farm, the' colts are ready for work a year younger, and if carried i to the same age, will bring about twice as much as the colts from the | light weight mares and about one third or one-quarter more than the colts from the medium weight mares." This summary was drawn up after some careful thinking, upon the ques tion being put to the secretary by an extensive land owner looking forward to the purchase and breeding of horses, “What kind of mares should I use? I want to know ail things con sidered, whether 1 should buy a 1,200 pound, a 1.400 pound or a 1,700 pound mare?” In other words, the land owner as a business man wanted to know whtat would be the relative cost of maintenance, what the relative effi ciency on the farm and what the rela tive market value of the colts pro duced. of these three classes of mares. Here is how he thinks out the mat ter, and his thinking was based on ex tended observation and experience: The condition of a horse is all im portant, both as to soundness and thrift. Horses that have poor feet, bad hocks, weak wind, or poor shoul ders are sticklers on the market. They sell very slowly and at very low prices. So also do horses that are in a poor condition of thrift. Fat always helps to sell horses quickly and at good prices, for it makes them look good and the horses, moreover, do not need to be conditioned before they can be put to work. A horse which looks thin when it leaves the farm is liable to look considerably thinner after it has been shipped and arrives at the sales stables. Fat horses ship far better than thin, thriftless ones. Then, too, the suspicion of being a poor doer on the best of care Is liable to attach itself to the thin horse in the mind of the buyer, whereas when he looks upon a well conditioned horse no such suspicion occurs to him. Character Is a valuable asset to any horse that is placed on the mar ket, and like size and weight is gen erally lacking in the usual stock of horses to be selected from in the country. A horse that shows intelli gence, good breeding and those qual ities that come through careful handling and good training will out sell the common, plain looking horses by a considerable margin; size, weight and condition being otherwise alike. The man on the farm engaging in horse production from the viewpoint of dollars and cents and anxious to make his acres earn the highest net returns should breed his mares to the best sires that are available combin ing size, weight, soundness and char acter, and should breed to them con sistently. They should endeavor also as soon as possible, either by pur chase or by breeding up, to possess themselves of big drafty mares com bining those qualities. The only re grettable thing about the sale of the dapple gray mares on the January 11, 1912 Chicago horse market for $1,000, is that the mares were not purchased by some good farmer to be used for breeding and farm work pur poses instead of by a Chicago teaming firm to draw a big wagon. It is re grettable that they should ever have gotten away from the farm, for if they were worth $1,000 for drawing a big wagon and heavy loads, certainly they were worth that on the farm where they could do work to earn All three classes can, of course, be managed, as far as maintenance cost is concerned, at about the same gen eral figures. But In respect to working efficiency, if we rate the 1.700 pound horse at 100 per cent., liberal allow ance is made if the 1.450 pound horse is credited at 90 per cent., and the 1.200 pound horse at SO per cent The colts bred to a good draft sire will average somewhere about 1,500 pounds; colts from 1,450 pound mares 1,600 to 1,700 pounds, and colts from 1,700 pound mares, 1,800 to 2.000 pounds. Then, too, the lighter weight colts necessarily make their full weight only at maturity and they will: not be fit to sell until they are four and one-half or five years of age. The same is true of the medium weight colts, but buyers are scouring the country for heavy colts. Every good gelding is gathered up at three years of age. The heavier colts sell earlier, or if carried until they are older and then put on the market, the prices ad-i vance accordingly. Colts weighing around 1,500 pounds will not bring more than $140 to $175 on the average, because they come in competition with the great glut of common light drafters on the market. Those weighing around 1,650 pounds to 1,700 pounds will bring $200 to $240, and heavy weight geldings will bring $300 to $350. The heavy mares therefore produce colts that bring from one third to twice as much money as the lower weight mares. Sizes of Silos. A silo 12 feet in diameter and 30 feet high will hold when full about 75 tons of silage. A silo 14 feet In diameter and 30 feet high will hold about 103 tons. Twelve cows require 36 tons of silage to supply them 200 days at the rate of 30 pounds a day. A silo 10 feet in diameter and 22 to 24 feet high would be a very good size for this number of cattle. If it is desirable to make some preparation for summer, and as a rule It is, then the silo should be built still higher. On reasonably good land a yield of 10 tons per acre of green corn may be ex pected. On very rich land as high as 20 tons of green corn are produced. Don't Excite Cows. Do not allow the cows to become excited by hard driving, abuse, loud talking, or any unnecessary disturb ance. USING GROUND FOR HOGS Fed in Conjunction With Corn Will Bring Animals Up to Large Weight in Short Time. In finishing hogs I make a slop of ground oats and shelled corn (ground) and a small handful of oilmeal to each hog, says a writer in Swine Breeders' Journal. This feed, in conjunction with ear corn, or shock corn If possi ble, will bring hogs up to large weights in a surprisingly short time. I believe that most up-to-date stock raisers will agree that with such kinds of grain as wheat, rye and barley, grinding and mixing with other feeds is absolutely essential. For example, no one would think of feeding wheat to hogs without first thoroughly soak ing it or running it through a feed mill. It may not be necessary to grind it very fine, but it should at least be* crushed pretty completely, or ground ine enough so that the hard, compact portions of the grain will not go through the animal, undigested. This is true for old as well as young ani mals. Another point upon which most peo ple will agree is that for the young growing stock, especially animals which do not have a full set of teeth, grinding is necessary. It not only en ables young animals to get more of their feed, but they eat greater quan tities and grow much more rapidly. On unground feed of the type noted, a young animal would do very little good; but if wheat, barley, rye, etc., be ground and mixed with a little corn, they will thrive. Leveling Board. A leveling board attached to the cul tivator helps to reduce the loss of soil moisture by evaporation. When the ground is kept fine and level, less sur face is exposed to the air and the capillarity at the surface Is less ac tive. Market for Skimmed Milk.
