On the fourth the only change lu the situation was scarcely a reassuring one. He became nware that he was being watched. There was no particular secrecy nbout it. Even in the hotel itself some oue was always on his heel. The absence of any attempt at concealment convinced liiui that it was the author ized police who had thus suddenly showed their interest in him. The sus picion was soau to he confirmed. The manager called him on the fourth morning into Ills private oliice. "Monsieur will pardon me, I trust," he said, "If I take the liberty of asking him a question.",, "Certainly!" buncombe answered. "Go ahead!" -"Monsieur is aware that he has been placed under the surveillance of the police?" "The fact," Duncombe said, "has been borne in upon me during the last few hours. What of it?" The manager coughed. "This is n cosmopolitan hotel, Sir George," he said, "and wo make no pretense at ultra exclusiveness, but we do not care to see the police on the premises." "Neither do I," Duncombe answered. "Can you suggest how we may get rid of them?" "Monsieur does not quite under stand," the manager said smoothly. "Clearly he has done something to bring him under the suspicion of the law. Under these elreumstanees it would be' more agreeable to the man agement of the hotel If monsieur would depart." Duncombe did not wish to depart The hotel at which Phyllis Poynton's trunks were still awaiting her return was the hotel at which he wished to stay. - , "Look here, M. Huber," he said. "I give you my word of honor that I have broken no law or engaged in any crim inal action whatever since I came to Paris. This game of having me watch: ed Is simply a piece of bluff. I have 'done nothing except make Inquiries In different quarters respecting those two young English people who are still missing. In doing this I seem to bave run up against what Is nothing more nor less than a disgraceful conspiracy. Every hand Is against me. Instead of helping me to discover them the police seem onlv anxious to cover up the tracks of those young people." . The manager looked down at bis desk. "We hotel keeners." he said, "are very much In the bands of the police. Wo ennnot iudee between them and the neonle whom they treat as suspect' ed nersons. I know very well, bir George, that you are a person of re spectability and character, but If the police choose to think otherwise I must adapt my views to theirs, l am sorry, but we must really ask you to leave." Rlr Georee turned on bis beel. ' "Very good." be said. "I will go and take rooms elsewhere." He left the hotel and walked toward the Rltz. At the corner or tne i'lace .Vendome an automobile was pulled op ' - a . .

Tbe vlcomte rose with a yawn as though be bad Jost awoke from a refreshing dream. His servant slipped off his for coat and he de scended to the pavement faultlessly dressed and qolte unruffled.

'Who uaa decided this?" Duncombe asked. "What emperor has signed the decree of my banishment?" "There have been, worse served em perors," the vlcomte remarked, "than the, shall wo'say, person who bids you go." "What Is my offense?" Duncombe asked. "I know nothing," the vlcomte an swered slowly, pouring himself out some absinth. "Who are ray judges, then? Wrhat secret authorities have I Incensed? I am flu honest man, engaged In an hon est mission. Why should I not be al lowed to execute it?" The vlcomte half closed bis eyes. Duncombe was a little angry. The vl comte regarded him wltli reproachful wonder. "You ask me so many questions," be murmured, "and I tell you that I know nothing. I bave asked you to come here with me because I bad just this to say. I can answer no questions, offer no explanations. I have no particular liking for you, but I am afflicted with a cursedly sensitive disposition, and there are things which I find It hard to watch with equanimity. There Is a train for England at 0 o'clock this evening, Sir George. Take It." Duncombe rose from his seat. "I am very much obliged to you," be said. "I believe that yonaxfi- Riving me what yon think to be good advice. Whether I can follow It or not is a dif ferent matter." The vlcomte sighed. . . . '.'You Englishmen,." he said. .

"I can tell you this much, at any rate," be said. "Whatever their pres ent condition msy be It Is more likely to be Improved than made worse by your departure. You are a well mean ing person, monsieur, but you do no body any good here, and you risk more than I dare tell you. If you must go, then!" Tbe vlcomte turned away to greet a little party of friends who bad Just entered. Duncombe strolled bsck to the hotel and found Bpencer walking restlessly up and down the hall wate Ing for blm.

X sorer seemed to a v. a ptsla words. I have failed Btterlyr ; The two men were sitting in a room Impossible of classification. It might have been a study, smoking room or gun room. The walls were adorned with stags' beads and various trophies of the chase. There were guns and ri fles In plenty In a rack by tbe chimney' piece, a row of bookcases along the north wall, golf clubs, cricket bats and foils everywhere. A pile of logs ready for burning stood in tbe open grate, and magnificent rugs were spread about the floor. Nowhere was there the slightest trace of a woman's pres ence. for Duncombe bad no sisters, and his was entirely a bachelor household. -Duncombe himself and Andrew Pel bam were seated In great easy chairs In front of the open window. It was his first fine evening at borne, and he was drinking In great drafts of the fresh, pure air, fragrant with the per fume of. roses and great clusters of wallflowers. Paris bad seemed to him like a great oven. All the time he had been half stifled, and yet he knew very well that at a word from Spencer he would bave returned there at an hour's notice. He knew, too, that tbe home which he bad loved all bis days could never be quite the same place to him again. Andrew reused himself from rather a prolonged silence. "You were a brick to go, George," be said. "It Is more than any one else In the world would bave done for me." Duncombe laughed a little uneasily, He knocked tbe ashes from bis pipe and refilled it slowly. "Andrew," he said, "I don't want to seem a fraud." I daresay that I might have gone for you alone, but I didn't" Ills friend smiled faintly. "Ah!" be remarked. "I had forgotten your little Infatuation. It hasn't worn off yet, then?" "No, nor any signs of It," Duncombe answered bluntly. "It's an odd posi tion for a matter of fact person like myself, Isn't It? I tell you, Andrew, I've really tried to care for some of tbe girls about here. Tbe place wants a mistress, and I m tne tentu baronet In tbe direct line. One's got to think about these things, you know. I've tried bard, and I've never even come near It." "It will wear off," Andrew said. "It Is a very charming little fancy, a most delightful bit of sentiment, George, but with nothing behind it It can't last." "Perhaps not," Duncombe answered quietly. "All that I know Is that It has shown no sigus of wearing off up to now. It was In Paris exactly as it Is here. And 1 know very well that If I thought It would do her tbe least bit ot good I would start back to Paris or to the end of tbe world tonight" "I must readjust my views of you, George," bis friend said, with mild satire. "-1 always looked upon you as fair game for the Norfolk dowagers with tbelr broods of daughters, but I never contemplated your fixing your affections upon a little piece of paste board." Hot I It Is the girl herself," Dun combe declared. "But you have never seen her." Duncombe shrugged bis shoulders. He said nothing. What was tbe use? Never seen bert Had she not found ber way Into every beautiful place bis life bad knowledge oft "If you bad." Andrew murmured. "Ab. well, tbe picture Is like ber! I remember when she was a child. She was always fascinating, always de lightful to watch." Duncombe looked out upon tbe gar dens which be loved end slgbed. "If only Spencer would send for me to go back to Paris," be said, with a Sigh. Andrew turned bis beau. "You can Imagine now," be said, "what I have been suffering. Tbe de sire for action .sometimes Is almost maddening. I think that tbe man who sits and waits bas tbe hardest task." They were silent for some time, smoking steadily. Then Duncombe re verted once more to bis wanderings. "Ton remember the story they told me at tbe cafe, Andrew," he said. "It was a lie, of course, but was Miss Poynton anything of an artist?" "To tbe best of my Deiier, Anarew answered, "she has never touched a brush or pencil since she left school." Duncombe looked out Into tbe gath ering twilight "It Is a devil's riddle, this!" be said slowly. "Why did she go to that place at alir "God only knows r Andrew mur mured.

There wae soother sOeace. Thea the (oaversstioa drifted back eaee more to the one subject wnicii was monopoliz ing tho thoughts of both of them. "I tell yau what seems to me be the most extraordinary part of the whole business," Duncombe said. "First, the brother disappears. Then, without a word to any one, tbe sister also rushes off to Paris and vanishes from the face jf tho earth after a se ries of extraordinary proceedings. One supposes naturally that If they have come to barm anywhere If there bas been a crime there must bave been a motive. What Is It? You say that their banking account bas been undis turbed?" "It was last week. I should bear If any checks were presented." "And the boy's letter of credit even bas never been drawn upon!" "No; not stneo ho left Vienna." "Then the motive cannot be robbery Thank heaven," Duncombe added, with a little shudder, that It was the boy who went first." "Don't!" A great winged .Insect came buzzing Into tho room. Duncombe struck vic iously at It with the palm of his band. ."Lord," he muttered, "what a fool I am! I've never been away from home before, Andrew, without longing to get back, and hero I am Just back from Paris In August, from turning night Into day, from living Just the sort of life I hnte, and I'd give anything to be going' back there tomorrow. I'm a haunted man, Andrew. I got up last night simply because I couldn't sleep and walked down as far as tbe pad dock. I seemed to see ber face In all the shadowy corners, to see her mov ing toward me from among tbe trees. And I'm not an Imaginative person, Andrew, and I've ... got no nerves. Look!" He held out bis hand, strong and firm and brown. It was as steady as a rock. "I can't sleep," be continued. "I can't rest. Is there witchcraft In this thing, Andrew?" Andrew Pelbam laughed shortly. It was a laugh which had no kinship to mirth. "And I," he snld, "have seen her grow up. Wo were boy and girl to gether. I stole apples for ber. I bave ! watched her grow from girlhood Into womanhood. 1 have known flesh and blood, and you a cardboard Image. I, too, am. a strong man, and. I am help-1 less. I lie awake at night and I think. It Is as though tbe red flames of bell were curling up around me. George, if she bas come to any evil, whether I am blind or whether I can see, I'll grope my way from country to country till my band Is upon tbe throat of tbe beast wbo bas harmed baf " Tbe man a voice snook witu fission. Duncombe was awed Into silence. He had known Andrew Pelbam always as a good natured, good hearted giant, be loved of children and animals, deeply religious, a man wbose temper, If be possessed ' such a thing, was always strictly under control.. Such sn out burst Ss this was a revelation. Dun combe understood then bow slight a thing his own suffering was. "You shall not go alone, Andrew," be said softly, "but for the present we must wait It any one can belp us, Spencer will." A servant came In with the whisky and glasses and silently arranged them upon tbe table. Duncombe rose and attended to his duties as host "Can I get you anything further, sir?" the man asked. "Nothing, thanks," Duncombe an wered. "Tell tbe servants to go to bed. We will lock up. Say when, An drew." Andrew took bis glass mechanically. Out In tbe lane the silence of the eum mer night wss suddenly broken by the regular tread of horses' feet and tbe rumbling of vehicles. Duncombe Hall was built like many of tbe old fash ioned bouses in the country, with Its bsck to tbe road, and the window at which tbey were sitting looked out upon It Duncombe leaned forward In bis cbatr. "Visitors by the Isst train going up to Bunton Place," be remarked. "Bun ton bas quite a large party for tbe first Hello! They're stopping. I'd better go out" . Be rose from bis chair.

Plan For Testing th. Quality of 8el Corn. Professor Holdon, the western con expert, has boon making tho rounds ot the New England farm and New Yor state meetings, as reported In Anierl can Cultivator. Besides describing bit tiethod of eelcctln-; seed corn, tbe pro fessor advances other ideas with re gard to New England farm methods He advocates growing tbe cattle feed on tho farm and Insists that eastern farmers will grow more dent corn and that alfalfa will soon bo considerably grown here If farmers will thoroughly drain the soil to a sufficient depth to make tho soli sweet, thoroughly pul verize It and make a firm, solid seed bed, sowing tho seed early In August Fo.s to the Corn Field. Professor Holden told of bis own work among tbe farmers of tho west by taking tuera right Into their fields and by personal Inspection showing them how they were farming at a sacrifice, In that their fields were pro ducing but a fractional part of what tbey might be producing If every bill were filled end every stalk were pro ductive. He showed the difference In the acreage with one, two and three good ears to a hill and thereby led up to tbe conclusion that tho great source of loss in corn production Is the poor seed which so many farmers use. either tnrougn carelessness or false economy. Testing the Corn. Coming down to the point In hand, be presented a plau for testing the quali ty of seed corn by determining Its ger- nitiiatlng power; ahowlugthese present tbe manner In which be was enabled to seloct tbe good ears and reject tbo bad by use of a germinating box, In wblch. In separate compartments, sam ple kernels from different ears .were placed and tbelr germinating power soon determined, the bottom of tbe box being filled with moist sawdust, a layer of thin muslin placed thereon and all packed down, the kernels then placed in the different compartments, covered with another thin piece of muslin, with more sawdust on top, and again pack ed down. In due time examination shows the real germinating value of tbe samples from the different ears, and it f easy to decide which ears to use for seed and which to reject A SOILING CROP. Heavy Yields of Green Food Under Favorable Conditions. Thousand headed kale (Brasslca oler acet) bas been grown In tbe Willa mette valley for twenty-seven years. It attracted little attention among Ore gon dairymen untU recent years, but la now rapidly becoming a very popular fall and winter soiling crop. It stands the mild winters west of tbe Cascade mountains admirably and Is hauled from the Held and fed as needed. It does not besd up like cabbage, and the name "thousand beaded" Is given it on account of the numerous branches tbe plants bave when glveu plenty of room. It Is very much like rape, hut tbe plants are much taller, and tbe leave are longer and broader. It is claimed that kale will yield thirty to forty tons of green feed per acre when grown un der favornblo conditions. Kale Is used for table greens, but Its cblof use on the Pacific coast Is for feeding green to dairy cow from Octo ber to April, for which It Is highly n a riBLD or alb. prised. If the growth Is forced In the early spring, it csn lie fed much earlier than Oct 1. Kale would probably bo an excellent winter feed also for bogs and poultry. It does best on well manured, deep, rb-h loams snd ssndy soils. The only objection to tho uw of kale Is tbe difficulty of getting It out of the field when the ground la wet and muddy. For this reason well drained land should be selcted upon which to plant this crop. Where tbe weather la quite cold kale Is not sufficiently hardy to stand out during tbe winter, snd Its dm aa a aoUlng crop would be limited to tbe fsU. sveaer Time to Flow tand.

The well dressed man wears clothe that no one ever notices; at business, except in the very warmest weather, usually dark. No one ever notices clean linen, while linen soiled ever so slightly is very conspicuous. No one ever notices a hat unless it la of ultra shape, dirty or shabby. No one ever notices shoes unless they are loud or need blacking or are run down at the heels or shabby. No one ever notices clean finger nails, while those needing attention are always conspicuous. The man should not be lost sight of by tbe consplcuousness of bis clothes, either from being overdressed or shabbily dressed. Batten's Wedge. The One snd the Naught. Oliver Wendell Holmes once sent two poetical letters to the "postoffico" of an. Episcopal fair at Plttsfleld, Mass. In one of them tbe first stanza was: Fair lady, whomever thou art. Turn till, poor leaf with tendere.t care And hush, oh. hu.h, thy beating heart The one thou loveat will be there. On turning the "poor leaf there was found a dollar bill, with some verses beginning: Fair lady, lift thine eyea and tell If thla la not a truthful letter. Tlil. lm th. on. fit thou loveth well. And naught (0) can make thee love It better GW- Oocultism. It Is noteworthy that supernatural Ism prevailed Just as strongly at the other side of the globe among the ab origines of the new world.
