"It Isn't much of a story," Guy be
gan, making a desperate effort. "It
was my first visit to Paris, and I lost
my head a bit. I drank too much winn
una quarreled with a fellow who ppt.
talnly Insulted me. They all told me
mat i must light him, so"
"Stop, M. Poynton!"
Guy raised his head In surprise. The
exclamation had come from the Due de
Berglllac. M. Grlsson was lnnblno
toward him as though for an explana
tion.
"My dear youne friend." the duke ra.
marked, with a smile, "It Is my stupid
ity which Is to blame. I had forgotten
the little matter to which voii are al
luding, and between ourselves It is
one which la very much better not re
lated to M. Grlsson. I was alluding to
your other adventure up In the Pozen

Guy for a moment was too aston
ished for words. Then ha recovered

In the other affair.
"I will tell M. Grlsson about that
with pleasure," he said, "if It Is likely
to Interest him. I was in the north of
Germany on a walking tour, and I
had rather a stupid fancy to go as far
as the Russian frontier and then re

sentries. I could see that they were
looking sharply up and down and even
a little way Into the wood. From the
train three or four men in long cloaks
had already descended. They were
standing In the track talking together,"
For the first time M. Grlsson inter
rupted, lie took his cigar from his
mouth and leaned over toward the
young Englishman.
"You were lost yourself. You did not
accost them? Auk them tho way any
where?" "It seems odd, I suppose, that I
didn't," Guy answered, "but do you
know there was an air of secrecy about
the whole thing which rather frighten
ed me. And those soldiers had exactly
the air of looking for somebody to
shoot. Anyhow, while I was hesitating
what to do there was a whistle and an
other train came from the opposite di
rection. Then, of course, I waited to
see what was going to happen."
"And you saw?" the duke began.
"I saw another single carriage ar
rive, more men In long cloaks and more
soldiers. There was a brief but hearty
greeting between two men who seem
ed to be the principals In this little
pantomime. Then they both got Into
the train which bad arrived first, and
I oould see them sitting at a table talk
ing, and a third man, who seemed to
be a sort of secretary, was writing all
the time. In about half an hour they
both stepped back on to the line, and
every ne commenced shaking hands
and 8dng goodby. Then the whole
thing seemed ro melt awuy. The trains
went on, the soldiers climbed Into a
truck attached to one of them, and ev
erything was Just as quiet as before."
"And afterward?"
"I waited outil it was clear daylight,
and then I resumed my walk along
the line. I found the next station
about five miles off, and I was thank
ful to see that the guard of the train
which had left me behind had bad the
sense to put my luggage out there. I
went to the hotel and bad some break
fast, and afterward I chucked my Idea
of going so far as the frontier and left
for Vienna. A week later I was In
Paris."
The duke nodded.
"I have asked you this question be
fore," he said, "but M. Grlsson Is anx
ious to hear It from your own Hps.
To how many people did you tell this
little adventure of yours before you
reached Paris?"
"To not a soul!" Guy answered. "I
was very dull In Vienna. I found no
one who could speak English, and my
few words of German did me no good
at all. I came on to Paris within a
week."
The duke nodded.
"And In Paris for the first time,' he
remarked, "you mentioned the affair?"
"Yes! I took up an illustrated paper
at a cafe on the night of my arrival
while waiting for supper and saw pic
tures of two men there who reminded
me very much of the two whom I had
seen on the railway near Foxen. I
think I made some remark out loud
which attracted the attention of a wo
man who waa sitting at the next table,
end later on J told her the whole story."
"And since then?"
"Since then I have told it to no one."
"Was there any one in the cafe you
have spoken of who seemed to take
any particular Interest In yon 1"
Guy considered for a moment
"There was a young lady from Vi
enna," be said, "who seemed to want
to talk to me."
The two men exchanged glances.
"Madame bos Justified herself," the
duke murmured.
"8be was trying to listen to what I
was saying to the English girl II lie.

Be hesitated. The duke nodded,
"Go on," be said.
"Well, I may as well tell you every
thing," Guy continued, "even If it
does sound rather like rot All the
time I was In Vienna and on the Jour

same people, and a man who got in at

"You have It here?"
Guv shook his head.
"It Is In my portmanteau!" be an
swered.
The faces of the two men betrayed
their disappointment. They conversed
for a few moments in rapid French.
Then the duke turned to Guy.
"You do not object to our sending
trusted person to look through your
portmanteau?" he asked. "M. Grlsson
and I are very curious about that sheet
of paper."
"Certainly not," Guy answered. "But
may I not have my luggage berer'
The duke shook his head.
"Not yet." be said. "It would not be
wise. We must give M. Grlsson time
to arrange your little affair."
"I don't want to seem a nuisance,"
Guy continued, "but about my sister?"
"She has been assured of your safe
ty," be duke declared. "For the rest
we will talk later In the day. M. Grls
son and I are going to the telephone.
Yon will find Henri on the terrace."
CHAPTER XXVII.
"AT the sport, my young friend,"
LA Henri murmured from ths
jfjL depths of his basket chair.
"I yield you without ques
tion supremacy. Your rude games,
trials mostly of brute strength, do not
Interest me. Your horsemanship I
must confess that I envy, and I fear
that you are a better shot But two
things remain to me."
"Only two?" Guy murmured. "What
unexampled modesty."
"I can drive a racing automobile at
eighty miles an hour, and with the
folia I can play with you."
"I give you the first" Guy answered,
"but I'm beginning to fancy myself a
bit with the sticks. Let's have a
tout!"
"My dear Guy," Henri exclaimed,
"forgive me, but what a crude sugges
tion. The first breeze of the day la
Just coming up from, the lake. Close
your eyes as I do. Can't you catch
the perfume of the roses and the late
lilac? Exquisite. In half an hour
you will see a new green in the woods
there as the sun drops. This Is silent
Joy. You would exchange It for vul
gar movement."
"I don't see anything vulgar about
fencing," Guy replied. "It's all right
here of course, but I'm getting stiff,
and I haven't the appetite of a kitten,
I should like a good hour's bout, a
swim afterward In the baths and a rub
down. Come on, Henri! It'll make us
as fit as possible."
Henri shivered a little.
"My young friend," bo murmured,
"you move me to despair. How can an
alliance between nations with such
contrary Ideals bo possible? You
would desert a beautiful scene like this
to gain by vulgar exercise an appetite
that you may eat Can't you realise
the crudeness of It? Yet I must re
member that you are my guest" he
added, striking the bell by bis side.
"Antolne shall prepare my linen clothes,
and I will give you a lesson.. An
tolne," he added, half turning to the
manservant who stood by his elbow,
"my black linen fencing clothes and
shoes In the dressing room and have
the floor in the fencing gallery sprin
kled with sand."
The man bowed, and Henri slowly
rose from bis chair.
"Don't bother about It, you know, If
you mind very much," Guy said.
"Would you rather have a game of bil
liards or a swim In thflake?"
Henri thrust bis arm through his
friend's.
"By no means," he answered. If
we are to do anything at all, we will
do the thing In which I excel It feeds
my vanity, which Is good for me, for
by disposition I am overmodest"
But they were not destined to fence
that night, for on their way aoroes the
ball the duke's own servant Intercepted
them.
"M. le Due," be announced, "desires
to speak with monsieur in the library."
Henri let go his friend's arm.
"I return to the terrace, mon ami,"
be said. "You can fetch me when my
respected uncle has finished with you."
M. le Due snd M. Grlsson were still
together. Immediately the door was'
dosed the former turned to Guy.
"Your luggage has been thoroughly
searched," be announced, "by a trusty
agent The letter of eredlt la SOU
there, but the paper of which you
spoke Is missing."
Guy looked a little Incredulous.
"I know it was there the evening f
left the hotel," he answered. "It was
fastened to my letter of credit by aa
elastic band. The man you sent must
have missed It"
The duke shook his head.
"That'' be said, "Is Impossible. The
paper has been abstracted."
"But who could have known about
Itr Guy protested.
"M. Poynton," the duke said, "we

been looked upon with growing dis
taste and disfavor In Russia. Russia
Is the traditional and Inevitable enemy
of your country. Russia had, I may go
so far as to say, made up her mind for
war with England very soon after her
first reverses at the hands of Japan. I
am telling you now what Is a matter
of common knowlodge among diplo
matists whon I tell you that It was the
attitude of my country of Franco
which alone has stayed her band."
"This Is very Interesting," Guy said,
"even to me, who have never taken
any Interest In politics, but"
"Walt! Russia, as I say, found us In
disposed to back her In sny quarrel
with England. She turned then, of
course, to Germany. We became aware.
through our secret service, that some
thing was on foot between the two
countries. With our utmost vigilance
we were unable to obtain any partlcu
Iars. It Is you, if. Poynton, who have
brought us the first Information of a
definite character."
Guy looked his amassment, but he
said nothing.
"To you," the duke continued, "a se
cret meeting between these two mon-
arch may not seem at all an astonish
mg thing. To us It Is of the gravest
political Importance. Some sort of an
understanding was arrived at between
them. What was It? That sheet of pa
per which was once In your possession
might very possibly contain the clew.
Now you can appreciate Its Importance
to us."
'What an ass I was not to take more
care of It," Guy muttered.
"There are other things to be consid
ered," the duke continued. "For the
last month every dockyard in Germany
has been working night and day, and
we have authentic Information aa to a
huge mobilization scheme which Is al
ready on foot We might have wonder
ed against whom these preparations
were Intended but tor you. As It Is the
English government has been fully
apprised of everything. Your magnifi
cent fleet, under the pretext of seeing
the Baltic squadron safely on Its way,
bas been gradually concentrated. From
dispatches to the German ambassador
which we have managed to Intercept
in England we know tbat.lt is Intended
to raise a 'casus belli' during the pres
ence of the squadron in British waters.
Quite unexpectedly, as it was hoped,
Germany was to range herself on Rus
sia's side and strike against England.
We, Russia's nominal ally, have bad no
Intimation of this whatever. We are
apparently left to ourselves Ignored.
Our friendship with your country baa
destroyed Russia's friendship for us.
She relies, no doubt, on our neutrality,
and she makes terms, doubtless ab
surdly favorable ones, with our ancient
enemy. In the eyes of the world France
la to be made to appear ridiculous. The
German empire is to be ruled from
London, and the Emperor Wllhelm'a
known ambition is to be realized,"

York dairyman, writing of his meth
ods In American Agriculturist, says:
I believe that care and feed from the
time a cow la dried off until ten day's
or so after freshening determine to a
great degree the paying capacity for
tbo next milking period. A man who
stints bis animals at such time Is not
even penny wise, but 1a more than
pound foolish. A cow -that Is allowed
to run down In flesh during whiter
will take her own time after being
turned to pasture to build up her bod
ily tissue. She will do so at Just the
time she should be paying tbo largest
net profit of the year.
I attribute what llttlo success I have
had to tbrco things:
First Good special purposo cows.
You might as well try to grow mut
ton and pork on the same animal as
try to make the greatest net profit out
of a dual purposo cow In the dairy.
Socond Producing cheap feed in the
way of sllngo, alfalfa and clover bay,
thereby cutting tho bill of tbo feed

here to raise thirty tons of sllago to

In the corn we have alfalfa nay for
