The. street. in which he found himself was a small one, and badly lighted; and for a mo- nicnt. he stood still looking about him, and rather uncertain of his immrdiatc whereabouts. Presently two men. walking slowly, passed him; and, making after them, he inquired his way ‘to Pentonville lload. “Right you are, initiator, we're just going there,” said one‘of the two. “1’” show you." , Gordon thanked him, arid turned along with him. They had not. gone far when Gordon suddenly hesitated. His mind was busy engaged in reviewing the events of the past few hours, and in speculating upon what he should say to Mr. Gaurit,'but the long time in Rothville had trained his senses to a high pitch of acutenCSs. and his quick observation was always at work even when his brain was engaged in other pursuits. It had suddenly stiuck him that some signal had passed between the two men at his side, and that there was an air of tension and watehfulness in their walk and manâ€" ner which was peculiar and rather unâ€" accountable. He edged a little towards the side of the pavement. away from them, and in- stinctively buttoned up his coat. The man nearest to him noticed the m( vemcnt and quickly nudged his comâ€" panion, who stepped to the other side 0‘. Gordon. Gordan looked round him. He had let the men lead him on a little way without taking much herd of the road they went, and he saw that. they were now in an almost deserted part. of the town; one of the narrow, badly-ligl‘ited crescents which lead off from the Pen- tonville Road. Even while he looked and hesitated he heard a little click to one side of him. He guessed the meaning of the sound instantly. One of the men had taken off his belt. . "Hooligans!" he thought, and quick as lightning he sprang, out into the mid- lc of the road, but even as he did so a third man appeared from the opposite side, and struck savagely at him with his belt. Gordon parricd the blow, and cast a rapid glance at the first man. They were upon him already, and in a second a'i three were slashing at him silently. Gordon had, fortunately, not. been taken by surprise, and he was a good fighter, but he had no \V‘thons but his fists, and these wero at. a terrible disad. vantage against the cruel buckles which his opponents swung with such prac- ticed skill. He had knocked one man down. and he lay with his legs kicking helplessly in the gutter, but the other two were pressing him hard, and he fell the blood trickling down his face from more than onc- wound. DQSpel‘alQ, at length, he charged mad- Zy at the nearest ruffian, and escaping the swing of the hell. be seized him by the throat. “The other one will do for ,mc now." he thought rapidly. “but. l will forget. He had a good grip of tho mans throat, and he squeczcd it light while punching him with his disengaged hand, but he heard the tlrfrd nlanls hurried brealhim,r alumst on his shoulder and toll. that. the deadly belt was only wait- ing a chance. to descend. But to his~ surprisu nothing happened, and suddenly he heard a cry and “It'll a thud in the roadway. llis own antagonist gave a groan and ceased 1M snuggle, while a man up- ]maring suddenly at Gordon‘i‘~ \‘IIIU. said quietly. “(inn you manage him. sir?" “Ilnllr'r,” said tiorlluu clm:~l'ily‘. “but I \\'by, it's you. give. this one salnetlnng he wont n Slerretl 1" “Yes, sir.

It was must tortu- nate, or most. clcvrr, of you. I thought you had gone long ago." “Yes, sir,” replied Stcrrcll. but. to which remark Gordon did not know. “lint, rcally. I don't see why the billtcs should go, Sle‘rrelt," Gordon said again, after a second or two. Sterrctt hesitated. “\\’hy do you think they went. for you, sir?” he said, at last. “The usual thing, ivibbcry. I suppose.” “I don’t. sir. Why, if they had wanted ycur watch and chain, or your money, they would have. had them long before I hit. that chap down there. Why, Bill Smith. who was dodging about, wait- ing to get home. with that bell. of his, could have had all you‘d got on you long before you‘d (lone punching the other chap. llul. he was looking for a chunco to knock you out. They might have robbrd you aflrnvards, bill that wasn‘t what. they were playingY for." Gordon thought deeply for a little. He remembered Usher’s attempt just now upon his life, after he, had suc~ seeded in getting the letter which mn- tained Vivienne Gaunl‘s address. He still had that letter; he knew the young girl's whereabouts, and Usher was cog- nizant of his knowll‘dge. The gambler wculd be aware that Gordon Would not. long delay bcfore he made use, of the address; might he not even have guessed that Gordon would go straight from the hotel to Charles Street? If he were playing the game which Gordon suSpectâ€" ctl him of playing, Gordon’s communica- tion with both Mr. Gaunt and his daugh- tci' would be highly exasperaling to him. Was it pos'Siblc that. he had tracked Gordon to that house, and that this attack was but the sequel to the affair at tho revolver? lie looked at Slcrrell. who was slain int.f before him. so far as Gordon could distinguish in the darkness, with a blank. cxprcssionlcss face. “And what could they want, to kllOt'lf inc out. for?" he asked quietly. Slcrrutt shook his hrad. "I don’t know, sir." he said. “Do you happen to know a street. called Mind-en Lane‘t" Gordon started. "Minden Lane. Yes, i do. What. about it?” “Might it be anything to do with that, sir?” Gordon stared at him with an unâ€" canny fee-ling of amazement. ‘v‘us it possible that this man had discovered the whereabouts of \‘mennc‘s father, too? “1 don‘t know. Slerrett.” he. said, “but you are a most. extraordinary fellow. What on earth do you know about Min- den Lane, and how do you come to know about it?" Sterrett allowed what was almost a smile to cross his unexprcssive face. “Well. sir, I don’t. mind telling you. There’s nothing in it, after all. I ain’t clever. It ain't cleverness that gives us most of our chances. It's just accident. and dodging about. When l went out of the restaurant just now, I found that the waiter had given me a bad six~ pence, and I went back to change it. You was gone, sir, but I got my six- pcnce changed all right and went out again. When I got. a little way down the street I passed two men talking to- gether at a Corner; and it struck m0 that I knew one of the voices. I passed as close as I could and look a peep, turning my head away so they shouldn't. sre me. But, as it happened, they were too busy talking to notice. The chap whose voice I heard was a bad lol, sir; Jell Sullivanâ€"he‘s pretty well known to us, I can tell you-and there ain‘t much he won‘t do.” “And the quickly. “i don‘t know. sir; and what's more, I couldn‘t see him. It was more, knowâ€" ing Jeff‘s voice that made me recognize him, for it was nearly pitch dark. But the other was a tall, thinnish man, looked like a toll.” “Ah l" “Well, I couldn't wait. to listen. they wculd have precious soon tumbled to me. but I just caugl‘t a few words as l ollmr?” asked Gordon passch it was Jeff who said them. and they sounded like ‘lle‘s all right; he‘s gale 0n. and they're after hiln.‘ And then I thought the other one said someL tltlllg like: ‘\\'ell, you make straight for Minden Lani-.7 “I know .lcfl prrlly well. and l gllrssrtl there has trouble \Vllel‘e, he was (“Oll- rcrncd.

The leaf mold also girls the soil (1 dark color and fertile appearance. Hum'us or decomposed vegetation is an essential element in productive soils. It improves the tex- ture so that the soil is better able to retain heat moisture and plant food. New land is so aerated that usual- ly Crops growing on it suffer much from lack of moisture. It. will gener- ally produce a good growth of stalk but. the yield of grain will be poor. If not. overtaken by a severe drought the fodder will likely grow to a good size while the cars will be, small and ffllfl- ly. Among the grasses clover (seems lbest adapted to new land. Indeed. upon such soil it will invariably thrive, while upon old neighboring fields it may be diflicult or impossible to secure a stand. Fruit of all kinds do well upon clear- ed \v0u<llaii(l, provided, of course. that. the location and mechanical cond'tirin o‘ the soil are suitable. For vegetable glowing new land is very desirable, 1th only because. of its con'lparalivc freedom from foul growth. but because such soils contain a large supply of organic nitrogen, the most nccl‘ssary and evponsive of vegetable fertilizers. It is light and .porus, thereby enabling the tender sprout after germination to more readily push its feeble form through the surface. Upon old land frequently a trust will form on the surface, or the soil become. baked, thereby preventing sccd from coming up. ..._â€"â€"-. \VET OR DRY FEED. An old method of feeding cows and working oven was to feed ‘dljfllli half a bushel lo cacti of cut straw wet with water and mixed with chop or meat ground from corn, rye and oats. T hcy were also given all the hay they could cut. The cows were kept in the barn- yard day and night with an open shed h: go under when it. stormed and were it'd oornstalks and bay for ladder and were sloppcd with buckwheat brain or “limit. brain mixed with water, making a "slop," which was .90 thin that the cow could almost drink it. Somel'imcs a little chop was added to make it. richâ€" er. It was fed in swill pails and wooden boxes, and the. cows did Mill on it. It may be objected that the mess u as eaten too fast. to produce the ‘brst resultsâ€"that if the feed had been given dry the cows would have been obliged if, out it more slowly, and the saliva flout lh‘ mouth would have become mixrd with it, which is supposed to aid digtrllion. There is not much d-ulbl that animals will do better when obliged lo cal. their meal slmvly than when allowed to gobble it down has-L ily in slop. In either case the meal lies in the animal‘s stomach in a small mun-plus»; or complicit. heap. whereas meal or contracted for-d should it led if such a manner as to fill the stomach so the organs of digestion can easily lay hold upon it.
