Count Caslmlr." Caslmlr did, or thought be did. No doubt Von Stelnveldt was of opinion that he would render valuable services to Lystrla by marrying the princess and ascending the throne. "I am also charged by his majesty," he said, "to Inform your excellent that If at any time you should wish to visit the Mascotte a table will be reserved for you and a proper deduction, fifty per cent in fact, will be made to your bill." "I shall certainly accept the Invitation," said Von Stelnveldt. "I have long wished to see the Princess Calypso dance. She Is still dancing there, I hope." "She danced last night." "And tonight? No, tonight I am engaged, and the night after. Will the Princess Calypso be dancing next Monday night?" Caslmlr sincerely hoped not. If his plans worked out as he wished, the princess would be well on her way to Lystrla on Monday night. But he did not want to say that to Von Stelnveldt. He made an effort to get away from the subject of the Princess Calypso. "His majesty," he said, "hopes to engage an English dancer for the Mascotte. She is, I am told, well known greatly appreciated in London. If your excellenz will come and see her when she arrives you will no doubt be pleased. Her name Is Temple, Viola Temple." "Ach," said Von Stelnveldt "I think I know the name. Let me see. I hear a little of the gossip of the London clubs, though I should no longer be admitted as a member of one of them. Is not that the lady to whom young Lord Norheys Is so deeply attached?" Caslmlr felt that the time had come for getting at the real object of his mission. This chance mention of Norheys' name gave him his opportunity. "Speaking of Lord Norheys," he said, "reminds me that his majesty asked me to say to you " Von Stelnveldt interrupted him. "That Lord Norheys is In Berlin. But I know It already. I had a visit from him this morning. A very charming young man. Perhaps be Is over here to take care of Miss Temple." Caslmlr, who had been uneasy all through the interview, became actuHe did not unally uncomfortable. derstand what Von Stelnveldt meant. "Miss Temple," he said, "has not yet arrived In Berlin." "Indeed. Then perhaps there Is no truth in the rumor that he Intends to marry Miss Temple. Indeed, I have heard It whispered that another and much more desirable marriage has been planned for that fortunate young man. Thr? Princess Calypso is, I understand, a very beautiful young Caslmlr was not surprised to find that Von Stelnveldt knew all about the ncheme for the marriage of Calypso 'and Norheys, but he was startled, puzzled and frightened to hear the natter spoken of in this way. "Lord Norheys is a rich man, I believe," Von Stelnveldt went on. 'Ile will no doubt make en excellent king ef Lystrla, a post which could hardly be accepted by a man without private means. And If your oil fields are developed, he will see to It that England obtains control of them. Well. England gets everything nowadays. To the victors the spoils. It is enough for us poor Germans that we are allowed to live. Please tell the king that I do not grudge Lord Norheys his I found him a most atgeod fortune. tractive young man. I have seldom enjoyed a chat more than the one I had with him this morning." Caslmlr felt perfectly certain that Von Stelnveldt would grudge the princess and the throne of Lystrla to Lord Norheys or any one else except himself. He was equally sure that no German would be content to see England in control of the Lystrlan oil. He felt that he was being played with, laughed at. and that some very disagreeable surpri.se awaited Mm. He began to be angry and to lose confidence In himself. Lord "What brought Norheys here?" he asked abruptly. "There was some trifling Irregularity about his passport," said Von Stelnveldt, "and he very properly brought It straight to me." Caslmlr knw, or thought he knew, all about Tommy's passport and that the Irregularity was anything but trifling. He also knew that Tommy had not gone to Von Stelnveldt's office of his own free will. He hud been arrested and taken there. He Jumped to the conclusion that Von Stelnveldt had already sent Lord Norheys back to England and was now enjoying his triumph In a dlsngreeble and spiteful manner. "I was so glad to be able to set the matter right for him at once," said Von Stelnveldt. "I suppose." said Caslmlr, "that yon have deported him." Von Stelnveldt raised bis eyebrows to surprise. "My dear Obunt Caslmlr," he said. "Why should I deport Lord Norheys? That excellent young man Is at present enjoying the sights of Berlin, In eumpsny, perhaps, with Miss Temple.

Casimir's original plan had been that his sister, the Countess Olga, should accompany the princess as Neither he nor the king could go with her. They would be closely watched and stopped at the frontier. But he had every hope that, with the passports he meant to provide, the princess, Lord Norheys and the Countess Olga would be able to get Into Lystrla. That part of the plan was spoiled of by the unexpected appearance Janet Church. She Insisted on going to Lystrla, and, when he came to think it over, Caslmlr was not altoThe Countess Olga gether sorry. might be suspected. Janet Church, a wandering English spinster of a type perfectly well known all over Europe, was as safe a traveling companion as could be found for a pair of political conspirators. Caslmlr and the king agreed that the party should start for Breslau next morning. Then Casimir's work began. He engaged seats in the train. He telegraphed for rooms at the best hotel in Breslau. He sent long telegrams In code to the patriarch, to his cousin Count Albert Caslmlr and to several other people In Lystrla. He warned his sister that Colonel Heard's passports must be secured during the day. If by some unfortunate chance the Colonel had not left his keys lying about, the Countess Olga would have to cut open a suitcase or a dispatch box. If necessary she could go to prison for a while as a dishonest housemaid, but the passports must be arrived? I suppose in any case he does not mean actually to marry her. It would be very awkward for you and King VVladlslaws If any formal promise of marriage existed. It might be difficult to buy off Miss Temple. I Imagine that you would have to pay her more than five hundred pounds. Perhaps the king might offer her the Cold Adder of Lystrla." He fingered the pink ribbon on his breast as he spoke. "Or a table at the Mascotte and fifty per cent off her bill. But I forgot. She has already been engaged to dance there." Caslmlr was by this time nervous as well as angry. Von Stelnveldt would scarcely venture to laugh at him so openly unless he were very sure that he had the best of the game. "I suppose," he said, "that you have Imprisoned Lord Norheys If you haven't deported him." "Even If I wished to Imprison him," said Von Stelnveldt, I daren't. We poor Germans lost the war, you know. The hand of the conqueror lies heavy on us. If I arrested an English nobleman In the streets of Berlin, I should probably be tried for my life by the League of Nations. My property would certainly be confiscated. But I need not talk of such things. Even If I could do so with Impunity, I should not want to Interfere with Lord Norheys or to curtail his liberty in any way." Caslmlr has the temper of a healthy and therefore amiable child.

According to White, approximately d four million acres, or of the total Improved farm land In Pennsylvania la In pasture. A large percentage of this la either located on rough mountainous land unsulted for tillage, or on land that haa been depleted of fertility by continuous cropping without return of sufficient plant food. This pasture land is of little economic value In this state, he says, and it requires many acres of such pasture to maintain a grazing anlsaa!, such as a dairy cow. "Farmers too often utilize all their best land for cultivation ; thus making It necessary to use the poorer land for pasture," states White. "This Inherited practice should be overcome by the dairy farmer, because by following It he Is not getting the best returns from his land." Most of the pasture studies conducted by eastern experiment stations have dealt largely with an attempt to rejuvenate old pastures of extensive acreages rather than to attempt to develop highly productive pastures on farm land similar to that used for general farm crops. White has been soils for permanent using pasture experiments. Experiments conducted at the experiment station on the same soils and with the same treatment show the value of blue grass pasture compared to a grain rotation. In one of these where complete fertilizers were used the pasture, which contained four acres, on the average produced 1,980 pounds of crude digestible proteins as compared with 633 pounds produced on the same number of acres la a four-yerotation. i m I li I " "p a T"22 5 " i5 H Tr wr ""rSi y " IS ta (s TTsuT li? j 33 it j a r-2- n, r 3T 37 one-thir- high-grad- e ar Dysentery or Scours in Calves Is Preventable Dysentery or scours In new-bor- n calves Is commonly called "white scours" or "calf cholera" and Is caused by germs born In the 'calf or contracted by way of the navel or mouth Just after birth. There Is no specific medicinal remedy, but the disease can be prevented with a fair degree of success In the following way: Provide a new, sanitary calving pen and calf pen. At birth, saturate the stump of the navel with tincture of Iodine and then dust It with powdered starch or finely sifted slacked lime. Cleanse and disinfect the cow's udder and teats before the calf Is allowed to nurse. As soon as possible after birth have a veterinarian immunize each calf with polyvalent calf dysenteric serum, or white scours bacteria. The serum has also some remedial effect. When the disease Is prevalent in a herd it Is best not to let calves nurse their dams but to feed milk from a cow that has been "fresh" for some time.
