CHAPTER V— Continued
'Don't think for h moment that tills
man is soiiis in not her you or search
your trunks, lie is here to watch,"
she remarked.
Mrs. Grain took up the dainty tele-
phone Instrument which matched the
boudoir furniture. "Thorpe," she
commanded, when a voice answered
her, "send Mr. Yentman to nie at
once." She turned to the unhappy
Mademoiselle Dupiu. "You have seen
the world, tell me what you think of
him."
For the iioment the "Countess"
could not he sure that Mrs. Grunt
hud not prepared the visit of the de-
tective as a trap. 11 had heen brought
about so easily, so naturally, that she
felt suspicion was Justifiable. To
seek to evade (lie man would be.
transparently, an evidence of fear.
Thqre was a knock at the door and
the man who was known us Mr. Yeat-
uian entered. It wus through the mir-
ror that Mademoiselle I)upln first saw
him. She had turned her back on him
will) a caution born of many harrow-
ing interviews. For one fraction of a
moment she caught his black eyes
bent on her mirrored reflection. It
was enough for her to feel a pang of
fear. For the moment she could not
remember how or where she had met
him; but she was certain that she
had. And she did not think he was
on the side of the law.
Eagerly she listened for his voice.
When he spoke It deepened the Im-
pression of previous knowledge of
him, but brought Identification no
neurer.
"You are keeping an eye on him?"
Mrs. Grunt queried.
"He is rarely out of my sight, ma-
dame," he answered. "You have, per-
haps, new instructions for me?"
"No more than I have alreudy given
you." With u nod of her head she
dismissed him.
"What do you think of him?" Mrs.
Grant «tfsked.
"It was not a favorable Impression.
You are satisfied that he is genuine?"
"Oil, yes. The creature has his
name in the New York telephone di-
rectory, un ollice, a stenographer, and
alt the rest of It. 1 went in to see
Uitu myself. There Is so much in-
genuity in the world of crime thut one
can't be too careful."
"So one hears," murmured Made-
moiselle Dupln.
She knew that soon she would be
able to place him. It was like going
through an old trunk for a misplaced
letter. She had known this man and
he had been associated with some one
of those many Incidents outside the
law which had made up her life. He
had been of the police or u confeder-
ate of those for whom she worked.
All that bad been required of her in
those early days in the gay capitals
of Europe was that she should look
young, remain beuntlful, and never
lose her heart. The danger of meet-
ing former confederates was aB peril-
ous to her now as meeting an agent
of police.
It was hardly possible that a quick
giance tlirougli a mirror would reveal

tier as the brilliantly lovely girl of
eight years before, who had passed as
a great heiress In the Itivieru.
CHAPTER VI
MademoiseHe ,Dupin Realizes
Her Peril.
"Yentman is the lesser of two evils."
Trent told Mademoiselle Hupin. "He
Is here to steal, and not to denounce
you. I don't see any reason for sup
posing he knows you are in .interim,
much less in this particular house-
hold li may even be that lie is legit-
imately a detective now. Twc things
you must noi do. One Is not in he
seen wlili me. ami another Is not to
run the risk ot meeting him These
people with their jewels won't h<* here
more than a week, and then, I sup-
pose. he will go,"
"1 don't know." she said doubtful-
ly. "Mrs. Grant has a succession of
these house parties planned. When
do you reave?"
"I don't want to go until I know
you're safe." lie answered. "And that
means I shall stay until Yentman gets
out. The trouble Is that we can't

yet tell certainly which side he Is on
uow. I'm not one to be uble to cast
stones. He, too, may have changed."
"No, no I" she cried. "One has to
catch but a glimpse of his fnce to
know he* Is evil. It was something
of violence that I half remember
about him."
"Take what precautions you can,"
he reminded her as she rose to go to
her lesson, "and remember you can
communicate with me through the
butler. After all, If It coraes to the
worst, I don't supt ' o more re-
sourceful people th..u you and 1 are
to be found. I'm not going to see you
frightened or hurt by anyone. Re-
member that I am fighting for you.
and my position here Is a strongly en-
trenched one. If anything goes badly,
send for me, give me a lead, and I
swenr I'll get you out of this house
with all the honors of war, even If I
have to mobilize the Welds and Bent-
leys to do it."
"I do not think I have ever had a
friend like you," she said simply. "In
other days, when 1 seemed to have
money and position, It was different,
but now, when I am nothing at all—
your goodness brings tears to my
eyes."
She went hurriedly from the room.
Always when she had been talking to
Anthony Trent she was filled with
courage and hope.
Mademoiselle Dupln knew that
white Mrs. Grant needed her for In-
struction In French she chiefly was
anxious to learn the etiquette of these
old French families .which do not wel-
come foreigners In their midst In
the long talks Natlca Grant discussed
her ambitions freely. She felt she
could speak freely, as her teacher
had none with whom to gossip. One
of her chief grievances against Cap-
tain Sutton was that he had not let
her know of his enormouB wealth un-
til he was about to leave for France.
"And because I -lid not know," she
walled, "I lived in the wrong places,
knew !he wrong sort of people ufld
did the wrong sort of things. I could
have been received In Newport If he
lad encouraged me. It would have
been easy when I first married. Now
it will cost enormously, and I shall
need all m.v cleverness und scheming."
Natlcu Grant tired her out. Even
the housekeeper noticed It at the meal
they look together.
"She's a hard woman to work for,"
Miss Kreweu remarked. "I don't won-
der Mr. Grant drinks, although that
Isn't the reason. He's afraid Captain
Frank may come hack and kill him,
as he swore he'd do ut the trial."
• ••«•••
When Mademoiselle Dupln went to
her room, stealthily, fearing to en-
counter Yeutmau, she was in posses-
sion of many useful facts which placed
Naticu Grant in a less favorable light.
Now that she was aloue she tried
to read, so that the hours before
sleeping might pass quickly. The
printed pages were not uble to hold
her attention , She was vaguely un-
easy. Anthony Trent had told her he
would help: bin tie was downstairs,
while she was alone in this upper
corridor. Xlie turned out her lights

to you then? Nothing at all. Some-

"Did you come her to look for me?"
There was that perfect command of
herself in the moment of danger for
which she had been famous. No long-
er was there fear or hesitation.
"1 did not know even that you were
here. No. That was the luck which
fools call coincidence. We are going

He took the orange package of
Maryland cigarettes and placed It on
the white wicker table by the win-
dow. Then he removed his coat.
"It is good to be where there is no
part to play," he commented. "Here,
with a frleud, I can be myself."
"Why should you call me friend?"
"I ought to have said rival."
"Even that would not be true."
"You may He, but It does not de-
ceive me. Why should you be In n
house like this If not to rob?"
"I am here earning my living hon-
estly. Are you not here for that pur-
pose?"
Pierre Redllch laughed as he tossed
a cigarette-end from the window.
"What a woman!" he said admiring-
ly. "I am, Indeed, an honest business
man and can show you testimonials.
But I have waited two years for a
chance like this. It has been weary

RELIEVING BLOAT
OF CATTLE EASY
Duties of other people are iUkavs
doubly clear to us.
(Prepared by tti« United State* Department
•if AurleulAre.)
With the approach of the season
when cattle graze greedily on fresh,
green pasture and when other condi-
tions favorable to bloating are pres-
ent, stoclcmen may prevent losses from
this cause by a few simple precau-
tions. Observations of veterinarians
of the bureau of animal Industry, Unit-
ed States Department of Agriculture,
Indicate that crude means of reliev-
ing bloat are sometimes used, due to
lack of preparedness and failure to
observe sanitary requirements. "It
is not usual," one federal veteri-
narian recently reported, "to see un-
healed cuts two or three Inches long
In cows' flanks. These are knife cuts
resorted to In the relief of bloat,
and in some cases the contents of the
paunch ooze from the cuts. Such
cruelty, and the danger from infec-
tion, suggest a few timely hints on
the proper treatment of bloated ani-
mals."
Bloating may be caused by any
kind of feed that produces Indiges-
tion, but the disorder is due usually
to alfalfa, clover or other succulent
pasture plants eaten greedily, espe-
cially if wet by dew or rain. Frosted
pasturage is likewise dangerous. Feed
eaten too hastily and in large quanti-
ties, when wet or cold, is imperfectly
digested. Gas forms rapidly in the
paunch, and if relief Is not obtained
in time, affected animals may die
from the accumulation of gases. In
these cases distention of the stomach
is so great as almost to prevent
breathing.
In severe cases of bloating, swell-
ing of the left flank Is very notice-
able, sometimes rising above the level
of the backbone. When struck with
the tips of the fingers the flank emits
a drumlike sound. The animal is
plainly distressed and moves uneasily.
Finally It may reel and fall If not
relieved.
In mild cases when the animal can
walk, driving it for a quarter or half
an hour is sometimes effective. An-
other treatment thut is often success-
ful is to coat a rope or twisted straw
hand with wagon greuse or pine tar
and place this in the cow's mouth as
a bit. tying it behind the horns. This
unsavory bit results in movements of
the tongue, jaws and throat as well
as stimulating the secretion of saliva.
The treatment aids in the escape of
gas and overcomes indigestion.
In urgent cases where the gas must
be allowed to escape without dela>.
the use of a trocar and cannula is
effective. The operation should be
performed by a veterinarian.
A trocar Is used in extreme or
urgent cases when the animal prob-
ably would otherwise die. With this
instrument there is the least danger
of infection, since the hole closes com-
pletely when distention of the skin
ceases. The various layers of the
skin adjust themselves to Its relaxed
condition, thus closing the hole.
Live Stock Losses Can
Be Cut by Sanitation
"The major part of our live-stock
/osses, especially what may be termed
the 'Infant mortality,' is directly trace-
able to parasites," said Dr. W. A.
Riley, head of the department of hi
ology of the University of Minnesota,
in addressing a class at the recent
farmers' and homemakers' short
course. "We are coming to know that
such losses are controllable, just as
the hookworm in humans is con-
trollable. The round worm, which
causes a large part of the loss of
young pigs, Is a case In point. Death
losses are uot the total economic toll.
Stunted growth and the general slow-
ing down of the live-stock Industry-
hit the farmer's pocketbook quite as
hard. Proper sanitation, coupled with
the transfer of the young stock from
Infested stalls, pens and feed lots to
clean quarters and pastures, will re-
duce the losses to a negligible point.''
Alfalfa or Clover Hay
in Ration for Calves
Some alfalfa or clover hay should
be Included In the ration for calves
or yearlings being fattened for mar-
ket. In case legume hay Is not avail-
able, good results may be secured by
furnishing ground limestone or bone
meal to the amount of one-tenth of
a pound per steer dally. A ration
consisting of all the silage and grain
the calves will consume In addition
to two pounds of alfalfa hay and one
pound of cottonseed meal per calf
dally will result In good gains and
finish. Alfalfa or clover hay and
full grain feeding will Drove satis
