In London the SYNOPSIS. teller of the story of the adventures of "Kins Tommy," and known hereafter a "Uncle Bill," is informed by Lord Norheys, son of an old friend, that Lord forTroyte, head of the British has a eign effloe, Norheya' uncle, achetuvvto make him (Norheya) of Lyatrla, In central Europe, through marriage to Calypso, daughter of King; Wladla-law- a, deposed monarch of that country. A financier, Procoplua Cable, knows there la oil In profusion In Lystrla, and with an English kins; on the throne the output could be aecured for Ens-lanNorheya, In love with a stage dancer, Viola Temple, la not enthusiastic over the proposition. The patriarch, Menelaua, highest ecclesiastical dignitary )n Lyatrla, la heartily In favor of the restoration of the monarchy, and Cable has generously financed the sentiment. Calypso la making a living dancing In the "Mai-ootte- ," Berlin cabaret. Norheya refuses to entertain the idea of giving up Viola Temple, to whom he la secretly engaged. "Uncle Bill's" slater Emily urgea him to aecure a paaaport from Lord Troyte for a certain Janet female Church, atrongmlnded who wanta to visit Lyatrla In ths Interesta of a aoclety for world peace. Janet Church leavea for Berlin. "Uncle Bill'' la again appealed to by hla slater to find a certain curat (name not given) who haa left hla parish In Ireland for a viait to Berlin, and cannot be found. Lord Norheya and Viola Temple dlaappear from London. d. CHAPTER VI Continued It occurred to me at once that Nor- heya, goaded to exasperation by Cable's conduct to Mies Temple, had (one off with her and got married somewhere. "Did you," I asked, "And out whether Miss Temple Is in London or not?" You surely don't "No, I didn't. think he's gone off with her?" "It might be worth while finding out whether she's In London or not." I went over to the telephone and rang up the Belvedere theater. I asked whether Miss Temple was there snd at what hour she might be expected to dance. Someone who was either In a hurryor a bad temper replied that Miss "Temple was unable to dance owing to Indisposition. He added that if I had taken the trouble to look at the advertisements of his entertainment I should have seen that Miss Temple had not danced for two nlghta In that way, so he said quite plainly, I should have avoided wasting his time with silly questions. That was a plain hint to me to ring off and hang up the receiver; but I ventured on another question. "Do you happen to know If Miss Temple Is at home in her fiat?" "No, I don't," came the reply, ''and ; I shouldn't tell you If I did. We don't encourage strangers to run after our ladles." I told Troyte what I had heard. "I suppose," I said, "that putting two and two together In the usual fraj we arrive at four." "Tou mean that he', gone off with berr "X should have expressed myself more plainly," I said. "I should bava said that putting one and one together we arrive at another one. They twain,' you know." "Married?" "II told ed ha was perfectly determined to marry her, and I expect he was." had My opinion was that Troyte driven the boy Into marrying rather otner than be meant to by continuously pushing the Princess Calypso at him and worrying him about the crown of Lystrla. Cable, with his attempt at bribery and his threats, bad settled the matter. But there was no use making things worse for Troyte by telling him that "It Ufa largely his own fault. I tried to soften the blow to him. "rm told," I said, "that she's a nice, Udy-likgirl. He might have dona worse." Troyte sat sipping a glass of cognac without speaking. I went on : "And, after all. It wouldn't have been all Joy marrying a Balkan princess. I don't know this Calypso girl personally, but I can't help feeling tbat a young woman brought up among bearded brigands, with snowy mountains all round, and heavy barbaric jewels given her for birthday presents, might turn out to be what the French call farouche. I don't meant to hint that she Isn't a lady; but the may ba a bit lacking In serenity." "I don't believe he's rone off with Miss Temple." said Troyte. The thing seemed so obvious to me that I could see no reason for doubting It. But the next thing Troyte said startled me. s 'The fact Is." he said, "that promised me three days ago that ba'd go out to Lystrla. He said he'd be ready to start tomorrow." "t)ld be aay he'd marry the princess "No. He didn't. If you wsnt his exact words, he said. Til have a go at that Jolly old crown. Uncle Ned, Just to please you." I have never known Norheys go back on his word. If he said that he artalnly meant to do It. . "And he promised to start tomor-ir- r I said: "Tea. But be may have changed bis tnlnd and started the da before -- e Nor-bey- r I told him that everyyesterday. thing was ready. As a matter of fact. Cable has had an agent from Lystrla waiting in Berlin for a week, ready to make a dart across the frontier the very moment Norheys arrives. Every one in Lystrla is prepared for the coup d'etat The patriarch and most of the leading nobles are to be In the Schloss Amberg, one of the old royal palaces. Cable has poured money Into the country and has got the whole thing thoroughly organized. In fact, he told me that he'd managed to bribe the President of the Megallan republic and three of his cabinet ministers, so that they won't make a fuss when Lystrla declares Its Independence. I've settled things with the French, more or less, that Is to say, they've agreed to leave It to the League of Nations." "Which means Troyte smiled slightly. "Talk," he said, "and time." "So you really think that If Norheys has gone there " "Everything will go quite smoothly," said Troyte. "But I wish he'd told me he was starting at once." "And It might have been better," t said, "If be hadn't taken Miss Temple with him." "I don't believe he's done that," said Troyte. "Hang it all, the boy's a gentleman. He wouldn't go off to marry the princess with that other woman in attendance." I felt as sure as I could be about anything that Norheys had not gone off to marry the princess. But he might possibly have gone to Lystrla to see If he could secure the crown without the princess. He told me he was anxious to please his uncle and to supply the empire with oil. "What would happen," I said, "if he asked for the crown and refused to marry the princess?" "He wouldn't get it," said Troyte. "The Lystrlans are legitimists to the backbone." "And If by any chance I'm not saying that It Is so, I'm only making a suggestion if by any chance Miss Temple followed him there of her own accord, what would happen?" "I should think." said Troyte, "that the patriarch would probably hang Norheys and imprison Miss Temple. But that can't have happened. The girl wouldn't be such a fool as to go there on her own." Then a servant came In and murmured to Troyte that Mr. Cable wanted to see him on very important business. "Show him In," said Troyte. I had never seen Procoplus Cable. With Norhey's description fresh In my mind I expected a repulsive looking man. Norheys called him "a Semitic toad," an "octopus." and "a I was agreeslimy money-lender.- " ably surprised. He did not look like a gentleman, but there was no doubt about his being masterful and strong. I saw that he possessed ability of an uncommon kind. I could understand how it was that Troyte believed him to be an empire-buildeClive and Warren Hastings, in earlier days Drake and Froblsher, later on perhaps Cecil Rhodes, must have been men of essentially the same sort of character. But looking at the man, it was tolerably certain that he was not by birth an Englishman. He had become English because England Is the natural home of men of his type, the only country which has aver understood how to use them. But the It foreign strain was unmistakable. was not Semitic. It was not Latin. I do not think it was Slav. It was something that made him more excitable and more liable to display excitement than a man of our blood would be. His eyes were sparkling. His face seemed to shine and his movements were jumpy when he walked Into the room. When he saw me he stopped, half way between the door and the fireplace. Troyte Introduced me formally, told him that he need not hesitate to speak In my presence and Invited him to sit down. Cable still looked at me doubtfully. Troyte explained that I was Norheys' godfather and knew all about the Lystrlan business. Then Cable blurted out the news. "I came round to tell you," he said, "that I've Just had a telegram from Caslmlr. You recollect, don't you, Count Istvan Caslmlr Is the most Influential of the Lystrlan nobles. He's my ngent In Berlin." "Yes," said Troyte. "He was to receive Norheys there." "Everything has gone capitally so far," said Cable. "Lord Norheys arrived In Berlin. Caslmlr met him. They crossed the Blegallan frontier today." "Today?" said Troyte. "Norheys and Caslmlr?" "Lord Norheys and the princess," said Cable. "Caslmlr couldn't go with them. He wouldn't have been cross the frontier. The allowed to patriarch Is waiting for them In the e Schloss Amberg. They ought to there tomorrow evening. Next morning the wedding will be In the Hoyal chapel. Tomorrow afternoon the coronation will take place." Cable was excited, wildly excited. He stepped forward, tooli Troyte's liqueur glass, filled It with cognac and raised It high above hla head. "God save the king of Lystrla," be r r. sr-rlv- ele-brat- asld. He swallowed the cognac, and, folthrew lowing the best precedents, down the glass. It ought no doubt to have emphasised the toast by being shivered to stoma. But Trota'a TIMES-NEW- NEPHI, UTAH S. Persian carpet la soft. The glasa merely rolled about a little, I picked It up quite unharmed and set It on the tray. "I suppopo," I said, "that there's no possibility of a mistake about your news?" "There can't be a mistake," said Cable. "Caslmlr is thoroughly reliable. The telegram Is In my private code, so you couldn't read It If I showed It to you. But you may take my word for It that It comes from Caslmlr. No one else has the code." "I don't see any reason to suppose there Is a mistake," said Troyte. "Norheys told me he meant to go to Lystrla, though I didn't know he meant to start day before yesterday." "He started a week ago," said Cable. That puzsled me. I was quite certain that I had seen Norheys less than a week ago. Certainly Miss Temple was dancing In the Belvedere four days before. I saw her there my sell Whatever Norheys had done, she had certainly not left London a week ago. "Does your telegram say whether there was any one else with Norheys and the princess?" I said. "You'ts told us that the Count Caslmlr couldn't go with them. Did they go off to Lystrla alone?" "There was a lady with the princess," said Cable. "Who?" I asked. "I don't know," said Cable. "Some la of course," Bald Troyte. I was more puzzled than ever. I felt convinced that Miss Temple was with Norheys wherever he was. Unless he had succeeded In working out bis plan for marrying both of them I failed to see what could have happened. "I think." said Troyte. "that we ought to follow Mr. Cable's example, and drink the health of the king and queen of Lystrla." He rang the bell. In a few minutes we had a bottle of champagne on the table between us. Troyte filled three glasses. He and I stood up. Cable had not sat down. "Long life to the king and queen," said Troyte. "The restored monarchy of Lystrla," said Cable. . "Oil," I said, "and plenty of It." Cable hesitated, Troyte drank. looking doubtfully at me. He suspected that I might be poking fun at him, and that kind of man always hates a Joke. I held up my glass and smiled amiably. Then things occasionally happen In this dramatic way even In real life Norheys and YIoTa Templa walked In. "Hullo! Uncle Ned," said Norheys, "just ran round, don't you know, to tell you that viola and I were married the day before yesterday. Did the trick In Dover and ran over to Paris for twenty-fou- r hours, excuse our not Dei rig dressed and that sort of thing. The train's only Just In." Troyte stared at him. So did Cable. Neither of them spoke. I felt It was my duty to. break a silence that was becoming awkward. "Oddly enough," I said, "we were Just drinking to your health when you came In." "Were you?" said Norheys. "Now bow the devil did you know? I suppose It got Into the papers somehow. What I always say Is: It's no use trying to keep things out of papers. 'The marquis of Norheys and hla beautiful bride leaving the church after the ceremony, and all that sort of thing. What? With a photograph of some other fellow and quite a different girl grinning at you. I don't know how it's done; but there It Is, you know. Anyhow, I'm glad It was broken to you. Uncle Ned. I was afraid it might be a bit of a facer at first. Not tbat I'm going to back out of Lystrla. I always told you I was quite on for that. So's Viola. Viola Is as keen as I am and well start tomorrow If you like." "Are you Lord Norheys?" gasped Cable. "That exact man, and this Is Lady Norheys." "If you're Lord Norheys" said Cable. "I don't blame you for not recognizing me," said Norheys. "I expect the photographs you saw In the papers gave me a long whlta beard or something. But I'm the man, the actual and only original. Do tell him who I am. Uncle Bill. He doesn't seem to believe me." "If you're Lord Norheys, some one else must have gone off to Lystrla with the princess." "Good old Calypso," said Norheys. "Done a bolt on her own, I suppose. Family chauffeur, perhaps. What I always say Is this: If a girl has any spirit It's a mistake to drive ber up against the ropes, telling her she's got to marry some fellow she's never seen. They won't stand it, and I don't altogether blame them. Jolly Independent, all of tbem, specially since the war." "If you're Lord Norheys," Cable said, "who has gone off to Lystrla with the princess ?" He spoke In a dull fiat tone. Troyte made no attempt to answer hlra. Norheys put bis arm round his wife's waist and winked vulgarly at me. There was a long and embarrassing silence. I broke It In the end with an Idiotic answer to Cable's question. "Unless It's my sister Emily's lost curate, I don't see who It can be." Then I giggled nervously. nY w 1 (TO OOMTXXVBDJ L 6R0SS twa -- ) , l lv 1 t l J SB DAIRY FEEDS MUST BE DIGESTIBLE j It Is not what a cow eats, but what she digests that counts. You might feed a cow wood, as chemical analysis shows that wood has a high percentage of carbohydrates, but this does not do the cow any good because she cannot digest It. Protein la found abundantly in tankage, feathers and other substances, but these substances are not fitted to the cow's digestive system and are, therefore, useless as a dairy ration, points out B. EL Goodale, associate professor of dairying, at Clemson College. Take corn for example, a cow will digest 75 pounds out of every 100 pounds of corn, but only 83 pounds out of 100 pounds of cottonseed hulls, Tbat means that 67 per cent of the cottonseed bulls fed to a cow Is wasted. These figures also vary according to the different nutrients. Of the protein in oat hulls, only SO per cent is digestible, while In linseed meal, cottonseed meal, and gluten feed, 80 to 89 per cent of the protein will be digested by the cow. This all goes to show, says Mr. Goodale, that the crude analysis that you will find printed on the tags attached to feed bags may be misleading. A cow can't read a tag and she Is the one that has to digest the feed. It Is, therefore, up to you to supply ber with the right kind of materials to keep her machine working at maximum efficiency. It stands to reason that the mora a cow digests, the more she can produce In the way of milk, so It Is up to us to find out how we can help the cow digest her feed and what kind of feed provide the materials needed for milk. Nearly everyone knows that a ration should be bulky so that It Is sure to go Into the first stomach and be as cud. Then a feed must be palatable. You wouldn't eat a very big meal If you sat down to a pot of cold, boiled potatoes without salt or butter, but If you sat down to a nice juicy steak with appetizing gravy, sauces, vegetables, and desserts, you would eat a hearty meal. It is Just the same with a cow. She digests a palatable feed much better than one she doesn't relish. This Is an Important point, because the milk flow depends largely upon the quantity of feed eaten. The average cow needs about sixteen pounds of digestible nutrients a day, to maintain her body and produce three and one-ha- lf gallons of milk. Half of this sixteen pounds goes for body maintenance and half for milk. If a cow doesn't like her feed, she will consume less and the digestive Juices are held back, Palatabllity la a big aid to digestion. Heifer on Thin Pasture Needs Supply of Grain Herds of cattle, some bandied In the right way and some handed In the wrong way, have been noticed by L. V. Wilson of the division of dairy husbandry at University farm, St. Paul, Minn., In visiting farms In the vicinity of the twin cities recently. The young cattle In some of these herds, says Mr. Wilson, are turned out on the theory tbat they will pick up on pasture and look pretty good In a few weeks. Their owners fall to realize that while they are "picking up" their growth Is really being retarded. The young cattle In other herds, however, show that the breeders have realized that young heifers must be given the beet possible chance during the winter and that tbey must continue their gains In weight every day when first turned out to pasture. Such gains are assured by adding a little additional grain In the early pasturing In this way the Inevitable flays. shrinkage which comes to animals when only access to grass Is given lc avoided. 7s T - "1 " j I -- " i", "ji7 jj pn r"pl LJ "On Ur " JQ1' m f?
