It has a twofold meaning, being both locational and martial. The old Norse spelling of this word was "vftingr," which literally meant "Inlet man," the basic word "vik" meaning "inlet of the sea." "Vlkingr" was also the Norse synonym of the Angto-Sason word "wicing," which was composed of "vfi" (war) and "cing'Mking) by which was meant a sea warrler.

It was the only telephone in the house that merely tinkled and its possessor had spent much effort tn having the bell thus subdued. Problems such as these were the most weighty matters ths# fell upon the pretty shoulders of the mistress of Holme Hillside. "Yes?" she said, putting her lips to the glass transmitter. "Oh, yes. Why--" There was a long pause while Clarice Van Warner evidently listened to an amusing conversation. "But--of course. I couldn't refuse to let you have him--if yon really think It would be all right. Yes, indeed, I'll have him there at nine sharp. Goodby, dear." Clarice's neighbor, if one living two miles distant on the next estate may be called a neighbor, Helen Simpson, had made a most unusual request-- If Clarice would lend Hawkins, ..the new English butler at Holme Hillside, to her for the evening. "You see, my dear, I have a guest for the week-eud--a girl from London, who is perfectly mad about bridge, and Tom and I are just ordinary players. The snow has cut us tiff so thoroughly from communication with the rest of our friends that I was wondering if It couldn't be done with safety. Nellie Is sailing home next week. We have four others In the house for another table and the happy idea came to me to ask you for Hawkins. He's really quite a gentleman. I know he plays the game because I have seen him watch us over at your house as we played when he was getting a bite of supper ready for us. He can be merely a house guest at a neighbor's home come to play bridge with us--and that's that" Hawkins did not intimate by the flutter of an eye-lash whether the Idea would be distasteful or agreeable to him. At the Simpsons' be was greeted as a friend and acted his part admirably. The tables were ready and he was presented to his partner, Miss Hutchinson. No one noticed the several shades of pallor that chased each other across the face of the little English guest. Neither did they observe the effort with which James Hawkins held himself together when he beheld his partner. The game progressed and both young people had resumed a calm that seemed almost natural. Both played a good game of cards and the hostess thought she had made a great success Of her daring venture. When the game was over there was to be the usual bite to eat, served on the card tables by the fireside. Hawkins rose and spoke to his hostess. "I am taking a train tonight, Mrs. Simpson--perhaps my hostess told you?" "Oh--I'm sorry--but If yon must go --trains are most uncertain in this weather and driving ifc treacherous." Helen was relieved and yet she was a little sorry to have the fellow depart. He had proved himself so good a partner. What tommy-rot caste lines were, •he thought. Nellie Hutchison was torn between a hopelessness at having lost again the Bian whom she had loved for years and who had gone out to America from their home in England to "make good" before claiming her hand--and relief at the strain she had been under to keep her knowledge of him a secret from those who were about. Seven of them sat about the fire and chatted about the game, discussing, among other features, the charm jmd excellence In skill of their new ! Acquaintance, Mr. Hawkins. "He is a guest--or was--at the' Thorne home just down the Lane," fibbed Helen glibly. "Quite a likeable ihap I thought." * The telephone bell rang tn .the hall. Helen herself answered it. "My dear, it is for you," she said, surprised, and speaking to Nellie. "An unknown lover--at this hour!" Nellie sought the telephone and closed the small closet that en- PIasuhi ft- "Jim--" she uttered. 7 "Nellie--" And then the butler of Holme Hillside explained to her what was taking place. He was investigating the domestic service situation in America for a series of labor articles for an English magazine and he had been finding out at first hand just what were the vexing problems. He had written to her but no reply had ever reached him and bis faith alone was holding him close to the belief that she was stUl waiting for hftn. A few days afterwards Clarice Van Warner called up her young friend Helen to tell her that the splendid butler was leaving. "Whatever did you do to him that night?" she asked. "Nothing, my dear," Helen replied, "but 1 am dying to talk to you about something that seems all very mysterious to me. A 'phone call late that night--Nellie's sudden engagement In town the next day and--now--Hawkins leaving. I'll be over." But by the time the two friends had been able to get together, the story had slipped out and the romance was being discussed in every group. Nellie Hutchinson had married bar old lover, Hawkins, the butler, tern., of Holme Hillside. SOUR MILK COSTS, FARMERS nnn.ARS Usually Result of Carelessness, Says Expert Sour milk costs producers thousands of dollars a year, and usually Is caused by using unclean utensils or failing to cool the milk properly, says Prof. L. H. Burgwald of the department of dairy technology of the Ohio State university. "A little care on the part of the farmer would avoid this loss," says Professor Burgwald. "Milk Is an ideal medium for the growth of bacteria. All that the bacteria reqtiire when introduced into the milk, is, the proper temperature, and they will multiply very rapidly. In growing they break down the milk sugar In the milk and convert it into lactic acid which in turn sours the milk. Bpt the bacteria will grow very slowly, if at all, at a temperature below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. "Milk coming from the normally healthy cow Is practically free from bacteria, so when large numbers of bacteria are found It means either that they have been introduced after milking, through the use of unclean utensils, or that the milk has not been promptly and properly cooled, and the bacteria have multiplied very rapidly. "The public jndges the quality of the milk by the length of time which It will keep sweet. The mllKj plant has to use some test which will determine in advance how long ttie milk will keep sweet. This test takes the form of a bacteria count under a compound microscope, an alcohol test, or a methylene blue test. The blue color of the milk caused by the addition of methylene blue dye, disappears more or less quickly, according to the number of bacteria present. The mlscroscopic test, however, an actual count of the bacteria present, Is the one most C9mmonly used." fePRING GROVE Feeding Calves Three \ Times a Day Is Favored - Best results can be obtained by feeding calves three times a day, with the periods between feedings as nearly equal as possible. When calves are fed but twice a day the feedings should be 12 hours apart. A calf weighing 50 pounds at birth should be given eight pounds of whole milk a day, while a 100-pound calf should have about twelve pounds. The amount of milk shoula be gradually increased until at the end of the second week the calf should get from 14 to 16 pounds per day. At the beginning of the third week either skim or separated milk may be given for whole ihllk, at the rate of one pound per day, and the daily ration increased from two to four pounds, depending on the vigor of the calf. IT the calf does not drink eagerly when milk is offered, the quantity should be cut down. At the end of the third week the ration should approximate one-half skim milk. At the end of the fourth week only separated milk is fed, unless the calf is very delicate. The quantity fed can be increased gradually to 18 or 20 pounds per day. Six months Is a good average age at which to wean calves from the milk. When good pasturage Is available, the calf can be weaned earlier. If skim or separated milk Is available, however, calves, especially if they are available, may be fed on It with profit until they are eight or ten months old.
