"Unable to bear the suspense, I made up my mind to run away from school, to get to France by hook or by crook and find out the truth for myself, and I think I should have succeeded in my undertaking had I not received two letters that caused me to abandon the project "One was from my mother's only living relative, a cousin. I had never seen him, but she had spoken of him with affection. And, in despair, de-spair, I had written to him also of my plight "His note was short: "'Shall be with yon almost as soon as you get this. Never heard of such d n aculduggery. Cousin John." "The other letter I perceived at once to be from my father. He said that the reports from the school were all he wished to hear of me. I was a strange and nndutlful child who had never shown any affection for anyone, least of all for him. He commanded that I stop .pestering (his own word) him with letters, which In view of my mother's death could not fall to be painful to him. He added that he had been ill himself him-self and had married his nurse, 'a most affectionate and faithful creature, crea-ture, whom he could not exist without' with-out' And he signed himself my 'devoted father.' "My 'devoted father V CHAPTER VI FROM that point, the narrative to which Smlf was giving a breathless breath-less attention grew more Involved and rambling. Even after a lapse of years, It was painful to Johnstone John-stone Nesbit to recall what he had then suffered. Reassembled, the tale ran as follows:' John Nesbit was as good as his word. He came at once to see his young cousin. He was a tall Texan with a gentle voice and a charming smile. He talked little, made quick searching Inquiries, and left hurriedly, hur-riedly, announcing that he would return In a few days. He went at once to Paris and, by a lavish misuse of tips, managed to walk in on Jasper unannounced.

"But when I set eyes on that miserable mis-erable lump of blubber, quaking In his chair yet trying to pretend my visit was a pleasant surprise, I pledge my word that I couldn't touch him 1 He seems one of the obscene creatures of a dream, whom you hit only to find your fist embedded em-bedded In stuff like wet cobwebs but much nastier. That's what he was like to me. Stone, and I never touched him, after all, although I got all I demanded by threats of what I would do to him unless he came across. ... I didn't take long to settle the matter either, because what I really wanted was you. I'd taken a lawyer with me and left him down stairs. The moment I'd brought Jasper to my way of think-lng,n think-lng,n he grinned at the recollection, "I sent for the man to come up. He had the papers ready prepared and your father signed away all parental par-ental rights without a murmur. Also, he handed over your mother's money to me. She'd left you all sh possessed. He could have contested the will, but that would have given away what she thought of him and I Judge he is too rich to care about the mere money. Probably he was glad to be rid of me so cheaply. Anyway, he signed up and I'm your guardian, Stone. Now what's your idea of what you'd like to dor where are you going?" Stone asKed. "Back to Texas the quickest way I can. I've interests there that need a man on the job for the present" "Can I go with you? I'm an American and I've never seen America." Cousin John looked worried.

Since he could no longer hope to see his mother and could not be with Cousin John It mattered very little to him. One request, however, he made of his guardian. He wanted his name changed to bis mother's maiden name. Cousin John cocked an eye at him speculatively, then rather diffidently diffi-dently advanced a proposition. "What about my adopting you?" he asked. "I'm a bachelor, all of forty-five years old and not likely to marry. I'd kind of cotton to the Idea of having a son of my own." "And that," said Stone, "is why my name Is Johnstone Nesbit Instead In-stead of Jasper Stone Rockwell, Jr. I wanted Cousin John's name only, but I'd always been called Stone and he said he'd a prejudice against names or hair parted in the middle, so we dropped the Jasper and the Rockwell and, by act of congress or something impressive, I was legally renamed Johnstone Nesbit" Sraif gathered that his later years at school in England had not been unhappy. Cousin John, whom he now called "Dad," had gone over frequently, as he had promised. They had many plans for the fu ture when Stone's education bad He Produced a Leather Case and finally been declared satisfactorily completed. Stone's favorite dream was that they should establish themselves on an estate in America. Ameri-ca. On the subject of where it should be his suggestions remained vague. Texas, to John Nesblt's thinking, was spoiled for sportsmen when unsuspected oil wells might be discovered In your Immediate vicinity vi-cinity overnight Intent always on pleasing his boy, he had looked the country over far and wide and finally decided that for climate, sport and congenial society Virginia probably had more to offer them than any other locality. Stone was counting the weeks until he could leave school. Mr. Nesbit had offered to come over and Join him for a tour of Europe but the boy was on fire to reach America. Ameri-ca. "Home," as he called it His Americanism was always subject to attack In one way or other, but he nursed It sedulously, reminding himself him-self constantly of his mother's words: "Americans are the bravest,' brav-est,' the best the kindest people In the whole world." The time was coming when he would live among them ; no need to say how his heart bounded at the prospect. And when the day came he was in need of their kindness. John Nesbit his dearly loved "Dad," was dead. Operated on hastily for ap pendicitis, he had never come out of the ether. His will left everything of which he died possessed to "my beloved adopted son, who has been a real son to me and has given me the truest happiness of my life." Stone had sailed for America the day after he received the cable tell- ing him of Mr. Nesblt's death. This was not the joyous passage ne nao for so long looked forward to, and, once landed, he quickly found that great wealth brought corresponding responsibilities.

Lovely-lea. When he reached this part of his narrative, Stone paused, fumbling in an inner pocket, and Smlf caught a glint of green pinned far back on his waistcoat Plainly the emerald em-erald horseshoe was a fetish with him. . He finally produced a leather case and snapping the catch, he held It out to her, open. Within it resting on a bed of velvet, lay an ivory miniature mounted in gold. Smlf took It from his hand with interest "How beautiful P she said. "What exquisite work 1" She examined exam-ined it carefully, taking It from the case and scrutinizing the chiffre engraved en-graved on the gold of the back. "'L. L.,' she read.

Stone Inquired. Smif stared at him in surprise. "But I do know," she asserted. "The costume gave that away. She's your grandmother your great-grandmother, great-grandmother, I mean." "Yes," Stone nodded. "That's who it is. Have you guessed her name, too?" "You don't mean you can't mean " Smif stuttered. "Her name was Lorraine Lovely." -The plot of this story." said Smif after a perceptible pause, "is becoming too complicated for my simple mind to fathom. Do you want me to believe that this handsome hand-some creature Is one of our Lovely ladies of Lovelylea?" "Sure enough. I found her on the family tree that hangs in the little room at the right of the back door. I can show her to you," Stone asserted. as-serted. "My mother was named after her. She was her grandmother, grandmoth-er, you know." "Then we're cousins. . . . Welcome Wel-come to the family, Cousin Stone." Instead of the swift response she expected Stone's face darkened "I'm afraid It's rather distant and at any rate you won't claim me when you've heard the rest of my story." " "Nonsense!"

(TO B COJTT1M.KD.I ALL-NIGHT LIGHTS MAY HARM PULLETS Early Morning Best Time for Illumination. Chickens of all ages and conditions condi-tions do not respond equally well to artificial Illumination, and a lot of discretion is required In attempting attempt-ing to stimulate egg production by night or early morning lights In the poultry house. Pullets do better undr early morning lights. All-night lights are over-stimulating and may result in Injury to the pullets. Old hens withstand all-night lighting successfully, success-fully, according , to C M. Ferguson, Fergu-son, extension sneclallst In nmiltrv 'husbandry for the Ohio State uni versity. With hens It Is more a matter of determining when egg production Is most wanted. In producing eggs for the market, use- lights and do, lay the period of molt, advises Ferguson. Fer-guson. But if eggs are wanted for supplying a hatchery this winter win-ter or next spring, it Is all wrong to light the poultry house now. Although lights do not affect the hatchability of the eegs. Uehts too early result in reduclnc the buddIj of eggs in early spring when de mand by hatcheries is at Its peak. Most marked results from lleht- ing may be obtained when used Immediately Im-mediately after the molting period. If all-night lights are used on the flock too much Intensity should be avoided, according to the poultry specialist, A ten-watt lamp or ordinary or-dinary barn lantern or gas Jet with mantle provides sufficient light Light should be directed at the feed and water receptacles, he says. For early morning lights on hens or pullets a 40 or 50 watt lamp with a reflector attached and placed six feet above the floor seems to give best results. It should be illuminated illu-minated about 4 a. m. Not All Pullets Worth Space in Laying House It does not always pay to put every pullet that Is raised Into the laying house, warns a poultry expert ex-pert There are usually a few In every flock that will scarcely pay their board by the end of the year. Only such pullets as are in good physical condition, as evidenced by a good condition of flesh, bright eye, bright red color In wattles, and well-pigmented skin and shanks in yellow colored breeds, such as the Leghorns and American breeds-Plymouth breeds-Plymouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, and Wyandottes should be given a chance In the laying pen. Thin, poorly grown, poorly feathered feath-ered and undersized birds are not worth bothering with. They should be sent to market if they have any value as food. If not, they should be killed and burned. All pullets which do not show quite as much development as the others of the flock can be put In a pen by themselves so that they may have a better chance at the feed hoppers. These undeveloped birds that need a little more time to grow are probably undeveloped because the more vigorous ones have crowded them away from the feed. A proper selection of the pullets right now will undoubtedly increase the efficiency of the flock during the winter laying season. Poultry Gleanings Damp litter In the hen house Is likely to result from over-crowding, a Sunflower seed is grown on a commercial scale near Clarendon, Texas, for chicken feed. Eggs preserved In water glass should have a pin bole punctured In their shells before they are boiled. o New Hampshire Reds, a relatively relative-ly new breed of chickens, resemble resem-ble the standard Rhode Island Reds.

Young stock not good enough to winter should be marketed, a a a If hens are to be kept In good health they must have dust-baths. Parasites are responsible for lowering low-ering the egg supply.

A new eport has risen In Africa, more thrilling than the killing of aangerous wild beasts. It la the pursuit of the huge, savage sav-age and Incrediblj swift Ash found In the great rivers hundreds of miles from the sea. Sportsmen who have slain 1inn the dreaded cape buffaloes, elephants ana rhinoceroses say that the bagging bag-ging of these beasts does not com-pare com-pare with the excitement of fighting a gigantic fish In these wild rivers. The thrill of a lion's charge Is soon over, one way or another, but the thrill of fighting a huge, leaping leap-ing fish that can Jumo from the water like a kangaroo, and whose mouth is lined with something akin to sheet Iron, may last for hours. Some of the great African fishes have teeth like wolves and can bite or twist In- two the heaviest Iron or copper cop-per wire leaders. They tear fish weighing two or three pounds from the hook and often break strong hooks. They can breast the swiftest torrent as though it were a millpond. Africa seems to have more large savage animals than any other country coun-try In the world, and the fish are no exception. When the rivers go dry in spots the great fish congregate In deep pools. They soon clean out all the smaller fish. ' When a bait is thrown Into the pool they will make the water boll trying to seize the hook. A small animal, which enters the pool, will Immediately be torn to pieces, for some of the African river fishes, particularly par-ticularly the terrible tiger fish, are closely related to the man-eating piranha, which the late President Theodore Roosevelt described in his account of his Journey to the River of Doubt In the wilds of Braxil. Though the Brazilian fish is not nearly near-ly so large as Its African" cousin, It Is frenzied by the scent of blood, and will tear even an ox to pieces If blood Is drawn from the creature. The largest fish In the African rivers is the gigantic Nile perch, which Is not a perch at all but a representative rep-resentative of the ocean bass family. This gigantic fish has been known to weigh 280 pounds. It is hard-mouthed, hard-mouthed, tremendously strong and active and delicious eating.
