I expressed my firm helicf that England would ob serve all the conventions written' and understood of international law." "And lie?" "He was not satisfied, of course. Ho declared that he had certain informa tion that England was' making definite plans with n view to Insure the delay of the fleet. He went on to say that Germany was determined not to tol erate any such thing, and he concludes that we, as Russia's ally, would at any rate remain neutral should Germany think It her duty to Interfere." "And your reply?" "I answered that In the event of un toward happenings France would act as her honor dictated, remaining al ways mindful of the obligations of her alliance. He was quite satisfied." "He had no suspicion of this?" the young man asked, touching the treaty with nls forefinger. "None. It Is believed In Germany that the young Englishman was really found drowned In the Seine after short career of dissipation. Our friends served us well here. Now, gentlemen, the English ambassador will be here In twenty minutes. What am I to say to him? Do we sign this draft agree ment or do we not?" There was a silence which lasted nearly a minute. Then the younger of the two men spoke. "Sir," he said respectfully, "without some proof of Russia's falsity I cannot see how In honor we can depart from our treaty obligations with her to the extent of signing an agreement with her putative enemy. England must fight her own battle, and God help her!" "And you?" M. Grlsson asked, turn ing to the third man. "I agree, was the regretful answer. If this treacherous scheme Is carried out I believe that France will be face to face with the greatest crisis she bas known. In history. Even then I dare not suggest that we court dishonor by breaking an alliance with a friend In distress." "You are right, gentlemen," M. Grls son said, with a sigh. "We must tell Lord Fotherglll that our relations with his country must remain unfettered. Agaln the telephone bell rang. M. Grlsson listened and replied with a sudden return to bis old briskness of manner. "It Is young De Bergillac," he an nounced. "He lias been to England In search of that missing page of the treaty. I have told them to show him in." The vicomte entered, paler than ever from recent travel and deeply humili ated from the fact that there was a smut upon his collar which he had no time to remove. He presented a paper to M. Grisson and bowed. The premier spread it out upon the table, and the faces of the three men as they read became a study. M. Grisson rang tba bell. "M. 16 Due de Bergillac and a young English gentleman," he told the at tendant, "are In my private retiring room. Desire their presence." The servant withdrew. The three men looked at one another. "If this Is genulnel" the younger murmured. "It Is the Russian official paper, his vls-a vls declared, holding It up to the light. Then the Due de Bergillac and Guy Povnton were ushered In. M. Grisson rose to bis feet "II. Poynton." he said, "we hare all three heard your story as to what jou witnessed In the forests of Posen.

It was true that she had sent him away, but only an, hour ago the marquis had told her that her emancipation was close at hand. He, too, might have had a hint The little smile, however, died away from her Hps as she saw who It was who wait ed for her with such manifest Impa tience. "You, Andrew V she exclaimed In amazement "Why, however did you find me out?" He took both her bands In his. The look upon his face was transfiguring. "At last! At last!" he exclaimed. "Never mind how I found you outl Tell me, what does It all mean? 'Are you here of your own free will?" , "Absolutely!" she answered. "It was you at Runton?" "Yes." , "Under a false name with a man who committed robbers!" She shrugged her shoulders a little wearily. "My dear Andrew," she said, "I will admit that I have been doing all man ner of Incomprehensible things. I couldn't explain everything. It would take too long. What I did I did for Guy's sake and' of my own free will. It will be all over In a day or two now, and we shall be coming back to Knyneswortu. Then I will tell you tales of our adventures which will make your hair stand on end." "It isn't true about Guy, then?" he exclaimed. She hesitated for a moment "Andrew," she said, "I cannot tell you anything. It must sound rather horrid of me, but I cannot help It. I want you to go away. In a day or two I will write." I "If I must," he said reluctantly, "I will go away, but not to worry about you that Is Impossible. You seem to be surrounded by all the mediaeval terrors which confronted the emanci pation of princesses In our fairy books. Only a short time ago Duncombe im plored, me to follow his example and leave you and Paris alone. The detec tive whom I brought with me has been shadowed ever since we left Paris. Last night be left me for a few hours, and this morning comes a note from the hospital, lie Is lying there with the back of his head beaten In garrot ers, of course, the police say, looking for plunder. How can you ask me to be easy in my mind about you?" The marquise stared Insolently Into tie girl's face. Phyllis only laughed. "One Is usually considered the Ideal Dumber In oar country," she remarked demurely. "But the one?" the marquise contin ued. "He would not be one of theso cold, heavy countrymen of yours, noT You have learned better perhaps over here?" "I have not bad very much opportu nity pver here, have I, to amend my Ideals r she asked. "I think the only two Frenchmen I have met are the marquis and that languid young man with the green tie, the Vicomte de Ber gillac, wasn't itr The marquise watched her charge closely. "Well," she said, "be Is 'comma 11 faut' to he not? You find him mora elegant more chic, than your English men, eh?" Phyllis shook her head regretfully. "He to twenty-three," the marquis declared. Phyllis laughed softly. "Well." she said, "I do not think that I shall amend my Ideals for the sake of the Vicomte de Bergillac" "Tell me child," she said. "You mean, then, that of the two-your English Sir George Duncombe and Henri that yon would prefer Sir George J" Phyllis looked at her witn twinning ye- . "Yon would really like to uowr an asked. "Yes." "Sir George Duncombe Infinitely." The marquise seemed to have recov ered bar good spirits. "Come, little one," sb saM, -yon lose' color In the boose. I wll tab yon for a drive."

Mademoiselle also took a carriage and drove to a large bouse at, the top lie looked up at the entered. of the Champs Elysces. She was at once admitted and passed with the air of one familiar with the place Into a small room at the back of the bouse, where a man was sitting at a table writing. He looked up as she entered. "Well?" She threw herself into a chair. "I have been following tho English man, Pelbnm, all day," she said In German. "He has seen Miss Poynton. I have talked with him since at a cafe, but be would tell me nothing. He ha evidently been warned." The man grumbled as he resumed hi writing. "That fact alone should be enough for us," be remarked. "If there to any thing to conceal we can guess what It Is. These amateurs who are In lesgu with th secret service are the devil! would as soon resign. What with them and the regular secret service Paris to an impossible city for us. Where we would watch we are watch ed ourselves.

When we plant day after day, we do not take up tbe line at nlgbt but simply loosen one end to prevent their breaking from shrinkage, The time to wind up the line would cost far more than they are worth. We can better afford to buy new lines, say every two years. Value of Sediments. Irrigating sediments may be bene ficial or harmful to crops, according to their composition and physical charac ter and their disposition In or upon th oil. Whether beneficial or harmful In composition, If they accumulate upon tbe surface of the soil In the form of silt blankets more br less Impervious to water and air, their Influence, by limiting the supply of these essential substances to plant roots, to notably harmful. In certain localities wber these Irrigating sediments are very plastic In character and excessive In amount the damage, particularly to al falfa and other crops which cannot re ceive constant and thorough cultiva tion, is of an Increasingly serious char acter. Cultivation, where practicable, a deep and thorough as possible, to tbe best available means of handling these accumulations. Beneficial sediment are thus Incorporated with the soil and tliplr fprtlllzlnir nronertles made avail able to plant roots, while sediment of barren character are dispersed to the depth of cultivation through tbe soil. When, however, sediments of undesira ble character predominate cultivation can only modify and not remedy re sulting conditions. In such case It is desirable to lessen the sediments In Irrigation waters by mesns of settling basin and similar devices. 8. Fortlcr. Testing Bordsaux Mixture. There are three simple testa for bor deaux mixture which may be used: First, hold a clean, bright knife blade In the bordeaux for at least one min ute. It It becomes copper plated, more Urn should- bo used. Second, pour some of tbe bordeaux Into a shallow dish and, holding It up to the light blow geutly across It surface. If properly made, a thin pellicle will form on tho surface of tbe liquid. If this doe not form, more lime should be added. Third, dissolve one ounce of ferrocyanlde of potassium In five or six ounces of water, pour some of tbe bordeaux Into a whit dish and add to It a few drop of th ferrocyanlde so lution. If sufficient lime bas been used, no chsngo will be noticed. If a brownish red discoloration take place, more Urn boald be added. A. B. Cordley. T. ft.

Jufit as every man, though be be tho great est genius, has very definite limitations In some one sphere of knowledge, and thus attests his common origin with the essentially pcrverso and stupid mas of mankind, so also has every man something lu bis nature which to positively evil.
