"I saw him lying dead, In my dream." Hilton Toyo took a gold watch from hla wnlatcont pocket. "Thirteen in In utoa to ono In tho morning," bo Raid, "and now U'h September eighteenth.

"Meaning it wnB no great friend you dreamed was dead?" "No friend at all, dead or allvo!" "I'm kind of wondering," nald Toyo, winding his watch slowly, "If ha'r by way of bolng a friond or mlno.

Tho man In tho upper berth bad to hold on as bis curtalna swung clear; the man tilted back on tho Bottco, all attention nil tbo tlmo, wna more than over an effective foil to him. With put tho kindly smllo that wont as quickly an It camo, Hilton Toyo waa somber, subtle and domuro. Cnzalet, on tho other hand, wnB of sangulno comploxion and Impetuous lookB. Ho was tanned a rich bronzo about tho tnlddlo of tho faco, but It broko off mcross hla forehead llko tho coloring of a meerschaum plpo. Both men were In their early prime, and each stood roughly for his rnco and typo: tho traveled American who knowa tho world, and tho elemental Ilrltlsher who has mado bohio ono looso end of It his own. "I thought or my Henry Craven," continued Toyo, "as soon uh over you camo out with yours.

"Then no wonder you dream about Honry Craven," cried Toyo, "and no wonder It wouldn't break your heart IX your dream camo truo." "It wouldn't." said Cazalot through bla teeth. "Ho wasn't a wblto man to mo or mlno whatever you may havo found him." "I had a llttlo placo near his ono summer. I know only what I heard down there." "What did you hear?" naked Caza let. "I'vo bcon away ton yoarB, ovor elnco tho crash that rulnod everybody hut tho man at tho bottom of tho wholo thing. It would bo a klndnesa to toll mo what you hoard." "Well, I gucsa you've said It your solf right now. That man seems to havo beggared everybody all around except hlmsolf; that's how I mnko It out," said Hilton Toyo. "Hodldworso'snld Cazalot through bis tooth. "Ho killed my poor father; ho banished mo to tho wilds of Aus tralia; and ho sent a hotter man than hlmseir to prison for fourteon years!' Toye opened his dark eyos for once. "Is that so? No. I never beard that," said he. "You bear It now. Ho did ull that, Indlruetly, and I didn't ruallzo It at tho time. I waH too young, and tho wholo thing laid mo out too lint; but I know It now, utid I'vo known It long enough. It wus worse than a crash. It was a Bcandnl.

"And feathered It pretty well!" mild Toyo, nodding. "Yes, I did hoar that. And I can toll you they don't think any better of him, In tbo neighbor hood, for going to llvo right there. Hut bow did bo stop tho other man's mouth, and- how do you know?" "Never mind how I know," Bald Ca zalet.

"About jib long as you'd expect of tho breed! Sho waa her father's daugh ter. I wonder you didn't comu ncroaa hor and her buslmnd!" "I didn't see i,o much of tho Crnvcn crowd," replied Hilton Toye. "I wasn't Btuck on thoiu either. Say, Cazalet, I wouldn't bo that old man when Scru ton cornea out, would you?" Hut Cazalot showed that ho could hold hla tongue when ho liked, and hlfl grim look was not bo leglblo as some that had como and gono beforo. This ono stuck until Toyo produced a big flask from bla grip, and tho talk shift ed to Iobb painful ground. It wna tho laBt night In tho Hay of Biscay, nnd Cnzalet told how ho bad been In it n fortnight on hla way out by Balling- vessel. Ho oven told it with consider able humor, and hit off sundry passen gorB of ten years ngo as though they had bcon aboard tho Gorman boat that night and Toyo drew him out about tho bush until tho shadows passed for minutos from tho led-brlck faco with tho wbltcbrlck forehead. "I remember thinking I would dig for gold," r.ald Cazalet. 'Thafn all I know about Australia.

"I hope ho had a daughter," said Toyo, "and that you'ro going to marry hor, IT you hnvon't yet?" Cazalot laughed, but tho shadow had returned. "No. I loft that to my pal," ho said. "Ho did that all right!" "Thon I ndvlso you to go nnd do llkowiso," rejolnod hla now friond with a geniality Impossible to tako amiss. "I shouldn't wonder, now, if thcro'a oomo girl you left behind you." Cnzalet shook his head. "Nono who would look on herself In that light," I he interrupted. It was all ho said, but onco moro Toye was regarding him as sbrowdly na when tho night was younger, and the littleness of tho world hnd not yet mado them confi dant and boon companion.

But nlicady it waa so lato that tho English passengers on tbo Knlser Fritz had abandoned nil thought of catching the Inst train to London.

But Achilles In hie tent was no moro conspicuous absen tee than Cazalet In bis cabin aa the Kaiser Fritz steamed sedately up Southampton Water. Ho had finished packing; tbo state room lloor was impassable with the baggage that Cazalet had wanted on tho live-weeks' voyage. Thero was scarcely room to sit down, but in what there was Bat Cnzalet -llko a soul in torment. All tho vultures of tho night beforo, of his dreadful dream, and ol tho poignant reminiscences to which his dream had led, might have been gnawing at hla vitals as ho sat thero waiting to set foot onco moro in tho land from which a bitter blow bad driven him. Yet tho bitterness might have been allayed by tho consciousness that bo, nt any rate, had turned It to uccount.

Toyo wns In a Btato of excitement even moro abnormal than Cnzalet's nervous despondency, which Indeed It prevented him from observing.

Tho dog in tho country la n useful nnd pleasant ndjuuet to the farm if ho la properly controlled nnd cared for, but when neglected may readily be come n carrier of disease to Block. In addition to gaining opportunity to kill sheep and destroy gardens and other property. Dog ordinances, as u gen eral rulo, havo been Intended chiofly to curb the dog'a power of doing barm by attacking, biting, killing or running sheep or stock. The part that ho pluys as a carrier of diseases to ani mals only recently baa been recog nized, according to tbo zoologists of tho United States department of agri culture, who bellcvo that when tills Is better understood rural ordinances and laws which lessen this danger will gain tho support of tho community. Of tho diseases carried to Btock by dogs, tho foot-and-mouth disease is probably of tho greatest interest nt this time. In this caso tho dog acta aa a mechanical carrier of Infection. Tho dog which tuna ncross nn Infect ed farm easily may carry in tho dirt on bis feet tho virus of this most con tagious of animal diseases to other farms and thus spread the disease to tlio neighboring herds. In infected localities It la absolutely essential, therefore, to keep ull doga chained and never to allow them off tho farm except on leash. Thero aro, however, many other maladies In tho spread of which tho dog takes an uctlve part. In Bulletin 2G0 of tho department, "Tho Dog aa a Carrier of I'nrusltcs and Disease," it is pointed out that rabies, hydatid, ringworm, favus, double-pored tape worm, roundworm und tongue worm nro often conveyed to human beings in tlila way. It occasionally happens also that tho dog helps fleas and tlcka In transmitting bubonic plaguo or the deadly spotted fever. Hydatid disease is caused by tbo presence in tho liver, kidneys, brain, lungs and other organs of a bladder worm or larval tapeworm. Bladder worms nro often ua largo na an orange and may bo larger. A dog which is allowed to feed on carrion or tho raw viscora of slaughtered animals may cat all or part of a bladder worm contain ing numcrouB tupeworm bends. Tbeso tapoworm heads develop into Binall Begmontod tnpoworms in tho intestines of tho dog. Tho tapeworms in turn develop eggs which are passed out in tho excrement of tho dog. They are spread broadcast on grass and lu HAVE COMFORTABLE STALLS FOR HORSES It Often Happens That Places Where Animals Are Kept Are Entirely Too Narrow. A horso cannot talk and tell his owner In tho morning that ho baa boon uncomfortable during tho night, but If such la the case and the trouble continues tho effect will show in hla work, or moro aerlous troublo may follow. Sometimes tho stalls aro bad ly constructed, mado too narrow or tho horse's feet wear holes which aro neglected. Ono of tho greatost evils Is having a stall too narrow. It may not have boon proporly constructed In tho first plnco or perhaps has bcon mndo for a small horso. It the barn changes hands or la rented and n largor horse put In It, thla horae may havo dlfll- culty In rising nnd so because of his dread of lying down on that account romalns on his feet longer than la good for him. Again a board or two may becomo dislodged and not being ro placed at onco occasions a draft. In a number of barns that havo como under my observation too llttlo caro has been used as to tho situa tion of tho stalls. Quito often they aro placed on tho north Bldo of a building owing to such a position be ing handler or not Interfering with other arrangements about tho barn. Instead, It is best to havo them on tho south sido of a building or if on tho north side thoy should havo a doublo wall. Tho stalls should bo of tiutllclent size, tho flooring should bo levol nnd the stalls themselves kept in good condition. .irisM; '.mt,mamMBaK&Xi-h,.:y ,i v"o mMmmmwmmm ;i CARRIERS OF DISEASE AMnxMrf Scotch Collies. drinking water whero animals can very well eat them und thus becomo Infected. Tbo bog Is particularly llablu to this disease becauso of its rooting babltu. Tbo egga may get Into hu man food, nnd persons who allow dogs to lick their bands and face also run the risk of getting the eggu of thu tapoworm In their systems. Prevention on tbo farm consists In so restraining the dog that ho cannot got nt carrion or raw viscera. Viscera should bo boiled beforo being fed to doga and should never bo thrown on the fields. If not cooked and fed, via ccra and carcasses should bo burned, burled with lime, or so disposed of na not to bo accessible to dogs, l'ropcr feeding of tho dog is essential und tho owner who does not feed u dog prop erly has no right to kcop one. Tho parasite which causes gid In sheep somewhat resembles tho hyda tld worm A dog allowed to cat tho brain of u giddy bheep may swallow this parasite and later dlstrlbuto tho egga of the resulting tapeworm over tho paature. Sheep while grazing swallow the egga with tlio grass which they eat. In tho caso of sheep doga it is important to administer vermi fuges often enough to keep them frco of these worms. In the enso of sheep measles, tho bladder worm lu tho meat, typical of this disease, Is swal lowed by tho dog und again tho tapo worm cgg3 aro passed by tho dog to grass or water and thero uro eaten by sheep.' Of the external parasites which dogs may carry to animals, (leas nnd tbo various kinds of ticks aro both troublcsomo und dungerous. Tho remedy la clear. Tbo owner muat keep hla dog clean, not merely for tho comfort nnd happiness of the dog, but to prevent it from becoming a carrier of disagreeable and dungerous vermin. Theso reasonable measures, impor tant to the stock on thu farm, havo a direct connection with tho health of tho family. Whero ringworm or other skin diseases break out among tbo children, or tbo worm parasites devel op, It Is well to determine whether a dirty or uncared-for dog may not bo carrying infection on his skin or hair, or bo conveying diseaso from carrion directly to tho food und persons of bla i friends. Even if no ono is infected 1 with disease, tho folly of allowing u ! dog to remain dirty and have the free dom of a homo whero personal clean liness and hygiene are respected is ap parent. LAZY ANCESTORS OF OUR MODERN FOWLS Industrious Hen of Today Lays 300 Eggs in Year, While Jungle Bird Laid Twelve. (By C. S. ANDl'.RSON. Colorado.)

With yearB of selection, wo havo succeedod In developing from this low-producing fowl a typo of bird tho chlor function of which Is egg pro duction. Our present-day Leghorns, and carefully selected fowla or Bovcral other breeds, lay close to 200 eggs an nually, and in tho courso or a llfetlmo more than a thousand. An average hen or tho egg typo breeds will lay In a year's tlmo flvo times hor body weight In eggs. Tak ing tho standard wolght of egga as 24 ounces per dozen, thla means on egg every threo days during tho year. To accomplish this tho hen must consumo nearly thirty ttmeB her body wolght In feed. The hen also has a market valuo when she is 110 longer an egg producer. Comparing the total marketable prod ucts returned for 100 pounds of digest ible matter consumed, tho hen ranks second only to tho cow among all our common farm anlmnls. Important Garden Factor.
