Some of the very be£T dolls are made in Sonneburg,. Germany, which has an academy of design. This school was established In 1851, and its model room contains many excellent pieces of sculpture nnd rare old prints. Modeling dolls is no easy task, and it is remarknbH- what perfect figures the students of this school are able to turn out. Molds are made from the models and from these leaden patterns the heads, anus and legs are turned out. *a special machine being used for stamping the hands. The factories, especially the l^neading room, arc hot and filled with steam, and for this reason the big, brawny Germans who knead the mixture wear as few clothes as possible while at work. Fasting at Christmas. When Cromwell ruled England be issued nn edict against all festivities at Christmas. The festival was altogether abolished, and the display of holly and mistletoe and other emblems of the happy time held to be seditious. In 1644 the Long parliament commanded that Christmas day should be observed as a strict fast, when all people should think over and deplore the great sin of which they and their forefathers had been guilty in making merry at that season. This act so provoked the people that on the following natal day the law was violently resisted in many places. Though these scenes were disgraceful, they served their purpose a«d put an end to an unjust order. When Charles II. regained the throne the popalaee once more mads Christmas a time of rejoicing.

Because the wedding arrangements and the hour of the ceremony had been kept a close secret, there were few on the streets about the White House, but near the bride's home the crowd was held back by police lines spread la the afternoon.

They descended to the lower floor, where the guests were grouped informally. Rev. Herbert Scott Smith, rector of St. Margaret's Protestant Episcopal church, of which the bride is a communicant, was waiting beneath the canopy to perform the ceremony, and with him to assist wss the president's pastor, Rev. James H. Taylor, of the Central Presbyterian church. Mrs. William H. Boiling, the bride's mother, gave her in-marriage. The president stood to the right of the clergymen and the bride stood on their left At once, Dr. Smith began the words of the Episcopal marriage service, the president making his responses first, and then the bride making hers. After the bride promised to "love cherish and obey", the president placed the wedding ring, a plain band of gold, on her finger and then, after a prayer and while the couple clasped their right hands together, Dr. Smith declared them man and wife. The brief and simple ceremony was paat How the Bride Was Dressed. At the ceremony and luncheon afterward, for which a string orchestra played, the bride wore her traveling dress, s black silk velvet gown, and picture hat of black beaver with no trimmings whatever except one feather slightly upturned on the left side. At her throat she wore the president's, wedding gift, a magnificent diamond brooch. The skirt of her gown was of walking length and cut on full lines. The waist had silken embroidery of blue, shading from the deep tones of royal blue to delicate shades of pastel and was threaded with stiver. The lower part of the waist was embroidered on black net over a band of silver In the design of lilies, below which was a girdle of black velvet The sleeves of the gown were of black net fashioned fa tiny tucks, with long ben-shaped cuffs of embroidered velvet that came well down over the hand. Her collar, which was high and up-staadinav was of black lace. When she left on her honeymoon journey lira. Wilson wore over her gown a far coat of broadtail, with hands of Yukon and sea* to match, flaw wore a oatectta cotter Upstairs ia the bride's est aside Cor, the Washington-^The United States govenunent's* second note to Austria on the sinking of the Ancona was cabled to Vienna -Sunday. Upon this coin* munlestlon depends whether or not diplomatic relations are to be con* tinned with Austria-Hungary. _ The United States has refused to discuss the. circumstances of the legality of the submarine attack, and has declined to accede to Austria's request for a bill of particulars upon which original American demands were based. As described by a high administration official, the note is every bit as strong as the first one addressed to the dual monarchy. This is taken here to mean that Austria must yield to the demands of the United States or at least repudiate the statement of her admiralty in regard to the details of the Ancona jinking if a rupture with . the United States is to be avoided. A prompt reply 4s- requested, and officials are of the opinion that one will come within 10 days. The demands of the United States, which are reiterated, are for disavowal, punishment of the submarine commander, and reparation by the payment of indemnity for the Americans killed and injured. It can be said authoritatively, that the American government looks on the situation as grave and will await with considerable anxiety Vienna's next move. Any hope that exists in official circles that Austria will accede to the American demands seems to be based on the beltef that Germany will bring pressure on her alley to affect an adjustment of the controversy. As Washington views, the situation, Grains, Etc.

This might be ac-. cepted If the foreign office at Vienna should find itself able to repudiate the admiralty statement which confirmed the American evidence that the Anpedoed and sunk with passengers still on board. That statement by the Austrian admiralty is the keystone one which the United States rests its case. As long as it stands unrepudiated this government will feel It has all the evidence" necessary and that It can not .eater into a discussion of other circumstances which are regarded as immaterial.

Noreen had silently opened the door* and slipped out into the corridor* With a swift glance over the three helpless men left behind, ! Joined her, and tightly closed the door. The light of the distant lamp revealed her face, but her eyes were serious. "Better leave the musket leaning against the wan," i whispered, noting •lie still grasped the weapon, "it will f bar our progress. only arouse suspicion. There are two guards at the front entrance?" "Yes,** she answered swiftly, "and you had better give the word*. If they ejtop you and ask any Questions, give tfcem any name you please—only you came, with dispatches from General Ramsay two hours ago, and have been with Colonel Pickney jjrver since. It Is less than an hour since-the guard was relieved, lor Captain Fox left me in order to make the rounds, and these men will not know. You understand r . "Perfectly. And the countersign?" my hand touching her arm.- The infantry camp lay. between us and the road. The campnre In front yielded just enough light to enable me to study out our surroundings. The hand still played noisily in the courtroom above. The camp was quiet* the soldiers apparently sleeping on the ground. I could perceive only a few tents, showing white in the firelight, but the figures of sentries appeared here and there, slowly pacing their beats. Had I been alone I should have crept forward and endeavored to ills by unseen, burl was conscious of the hand which grasped my sleeve, and my eyes fell to her face. "You are my guide tonight," I whispered softly. "Have you some plan already devised? There must be instant action." "Hardly that; this has all occurred so quickly, so unexpectedly, I have had no time in which to think. Isn't it best to go straight ahead, and run the chance T" " ^ "Past the guard yonder?" "Yes; I am not greatly afraid of him! We have the word} and Captain Pox and I were together when I passed here before. He will remember me, and have no suspicion. Only there may be officers sitting on the veranda of the hotel." "It looks dark and deserted from here, and the hour is lata." "True; I suppose all who are net on duty are at the dance. Besides, there is no other way in which you can attain the stables. I—I am ready to try it—are you?" I answered with the pressure of my -Certainly; that wiU be the safest and best thing for you to do. I cannot tell you how grateful I am to you; nothing I cajr ever do will repay the service you have rendered me. You are a wonderfully brave girl." "Do you think so? Oh, but I am neither brave nor wonderful. I have scarcely known what I was doing; it didn't seem as if there was anything else I could do. But I know now; I have no doubt any more—unless— unless you refuse to let me." "I refuse! I do not understand what I could refuse. All that remains is for you to go to your room. You will be perfectly safe here. "How wiU I be safe here?" she asked indignantly. "Do you suppose they will spare me, merely because I am a woman? This has not been done in secret; there are too many who know my part in your escape to ever keep the truth hidden. Colonel Pick* ney will have to make his report and shield himself from blame. There is not- an officer here who will stand openly in my defense, unless It be Captain Fox, and he could not help me, Is it under such conditions you desire 1 remain here?" "But do you realise what going with me will inevitably mean?" "Yeb, I realize—not only the peril and hardship, but zv^v issue involved. I made my choice back in the courthouse. It is too late to withdraw." She paused as though unable to find expression, breathing heavily, and her \ face sank until I could no longer see her eyes. "When—when I told Colonel Pickney that—that you were my husband," she faltered, driven to it by my continued silence, "I spoke hastily, it is true; for my only thought just then was the necessity for saving your life. I felt that—that I could do no less, and—and I desired to justify my ac- | tion. They—they had to know* why I did it; do you not understand7~ 1—I am a Union woman; they have trusted me always, these men; even tonight they told me the countersign besleeve. There was no response; neither were they withdrawn. She drew a long breath, and stepped bravely forward. The way was clear, easily followed even in the darkness, and I walked close beside her.

We passed oot^Beyond the glow of the revealing light, to where our eyes were able to sweep the darkened porch. There were a dozen chairs standing back of the rail, but none were occupied. She gave a little sob of relief, both hands nervously grasping my sleeve. "Thank God!" she said fervently, "now if we only have five minutes more!" ••What CHAPTER XX.

But we must go at once." "Yfes, and—and thank you." We crept forward along the shadow of the orchard fence, until we mingled with the horses fastened at the hitching rail. I selected among them, as best I could in the darkness, two that seemed well adapted to bur .purpose. I helped her silently into the saddle, thrusting one of my revolvers into the empty holster, and then mounted myself. "Which way had we better go?" I asked, my face close, our horses touching. "Along the south' road at first; there is a cut-off Just back of the old school." "And the pickets—do you know where they are posted?" "At the ford of the Green Briar— the main ford." "There are none at Benton?" "No; I do not think they even know the river is fordable there; it is not on the maps." We rode forward slowly, my hand on her bridle rein, keeping in the deeper shadows along the side of the road, until we passed beyond the last house of the village. If the camp was not alarmed for another half hour, our pursuers would be given a hard task. Strange that the Federal scouts had :&ev%r located the Benton ford. To be sure it was narrow, and of no value In high water, yet an ideal place for raiding parties to cross, and all those hills beyond were full of guerrilla bands eager to strike quick and get safely away. That they dared to attack small bodies of troops, and especially poorly guarded wagon trains, had been demonstrated more than once, and this secret ford gave them easy opportunity. The Cowans certainly knew of its feasibility, and the wonder was they had never utilized it before. The longer I thought the more I began to dread the unknown dangers ahead—the gauntlet we must run before attaining the Confederate lines. We could baffle pursuit, but if once we came into contact with those irregulars of the mountains—merciless, irresponsible— no one could predict the result. I could skulk along through the night, discard my horse, travel afoot, and thus avoid encountering any of those villains. I was myself a mountaineer, and knew the secret trails. But with her beside me, the two of us mounted, such a feat was almost impossible. I must find her food and shelter, and we could not travel on horseback without leaving a trail unconcealed. To be sure, I knew her of old; that she was strong, resourceful, fearless—yet she was a woman to be protected from Insult, to be guarded against exposure; more, she was the woman I loved. But would she be in any less danger if 1 compelled her to return to Lewisburg? She would be exposed to indignities, to almost certain persecution from Raymond. "Noreen," I said, turning my face toward her. "Do you really think it best to try this ride with me?** "You do not wish me to go?" she asked, as instantly reining up. "You want me to return?" "No, not that. I nave no thought but for your own good. Only do you understand the perils through which we must pass in those mountains?" „, "Yes, 1 do understand," she answered soberly, "and I comprehend, as you cannot, the danger of my returning to Lewisburg. I will never go back there; but, if you think it best for us to part, I will endeavor to reach Charleston alone." "You would rather go on with me?M "I made that choice, but if you consider me a burden—" "No, it is not that, Noreen," I interrupted, touched by the regretful tone of her voice. "It was of you I was thinking, not myself. Then we go on together?" She was silent, her eyes on the darkness ahead. "It must be your decision," I insisted. ~ "I made my choice an hour ago." she answered frankly. I waited an instant, thinking she might say more, but she sat motionless in the saddle. Just what her decision signified I could not judge. It seemed to me that between two dangers she had simply chosen the one she deemed to be the lesser.

COUPLE LEAVE FOR VIRGINIA TO SPEND HONEYMOON .* * ' • " / $ : L* v v .<•, Washington—President Woodrow Wilson and Mrs, Edith Boiling Gait were married in simple, quiet elegance at 8:30 o'clock Saturday night, in the home of the bride in DU Pont circle, and left at 11:40 o'clock on their private car for Hot Springs, Va., where they will pass their honeymoon.

Two of White House automobiles have sent on ahead, and the couple exto pass their honeymoon motor* golfing and walking over the ntaln trails. sides the secret service guard, party was accompanied by one LOgrapher. The president will keep in" touch with the White House over special wires. fs Simple Home Wedding, , . Because the wedding arrangements and the honr of the ceremony had been kept a close secret, there were few on the streets about the White House, but near the bride's home the crowd was held back by police lines spread fa the afternoon. Everything war in readiness for 4s* ceremony when the president arrived and it proceeded without music. Jfsdther the president nor Mrs. Gait attendants and there were no nor flower girls. Neither the the navy nor the diplomatic was represented and the occaraa essentially what both of the townle had wished it to be—a home Were About Thirty Guests. Irst floor of the bride's is two communicating rooms, a-W*dd}»g bower had been arranged with a backgresmd of farleyanse and which extended {fee floor to the ceiling. Overwas a canopy of green in of a shell lined with Scotch fcrtfco background at the a large the safrror was a and the timers of the with orchids. warn om both sides of the peared at the head of the staircase, which was decorated with ferns, asparagus vines and American beauty roses. They descended to the lower floor, where the guests were grouped informally. Rev. Herbert Scott Smith, rector of St. Margaret's Protestant Episcopal church, of which the bride is a communicant, was waiting beneath the canopy to perform the ceremony, and with him to assist was the president's pastor, Rev. James H. Taylor, of the Central Presbyterian church. Mrs. William H. Boiling, the bride's mother, gave her in ^marriage. The president stood to the right of the clergymen and the bride stood on their left. At once, Dr. Smith began the words of the Episcopal marriage service, the president making his responses first, and then the bride making hers. After the bride promised to "love cherish and obey", the president placed the wedding ring, a plain band of~gold, on her finger and then, after a prayer and while the couple clasped their right hands together, Dr. Smith declared them man and wife. The brief and simple ceremony was past How the Bride Was Dressed. At the ceremony and luncheon afterward, for which a string orchestra played, the bride wore her traveling dress, a black silk velvet gown, and picture hat of black beaver with no trimming* whatever except one feather slightly upturned on the left side. At her throat she wore the president's-, wedding gift, a magnificent diamond brooch. The skirt of her gown was of walking length and cut on full lines. The waist had silken embroidery of bine, shading from the deep tones of royal blue to delicate shades of pastel and was threaded with silver. The lower part or the waist was embroidered on black net over a band of silver in the design of lilies, below which was a girdle of black velvet The sleeves of the gown were of black net fashioned in tiny tucks, with Ions; bell-shaped cuffs of embroidered velvet that came well down over the hand. Her collar, which was high and up-steading* was of black lace. When she left on her honeymoon Journey Mrs. Wilson wore over her a far eoat of broadtail, with bands of Yukon and sauff to match. She wore a chin-chin coBar. Upstairs ia the bride's roost was net aside Cor Che wedding gifts, which despite iatisaatlons the White HOMO that nothing be by any others than relatives and frienda, ran into the In defereacjo to the hawses o f Washington-vrhe United States government'S\ second note to Austria on the sinking of the Ancona was cabled to Vienna -Sunday. Upon this com* municftUon depends whether or not diplomatic relations are to be contlnued with Austria-Hungary. The United States has refused to discuss the circumstances of the legality of the submarine attack, and has declined to accede to Austria's request for a bill of particulars upon which original American demands were based. As described by a high administration official, the note is every bit as strong as the first one addressed to the dual monarchy. This is taken here to mean that Austria must yield to the demands of the United States or at least repudiate the statement of her admiralty in regard to the details of the Ancona .sinking if a nurture with.the United States is to be avoided. A prompt reply i s - requested, and officials are of the opinion that one will come within 10 days. The demands of the United States, which are reiterated, are for disavowal, punishment of the submarine commander, and reparation by the payment of indemnity for the Americans killed and Injured. It can be said authoritatively, that the American government looks on the situation as grave and will await with considerable anxiety Vienna's next move. Any hope that exists in official circles that Austria will accede to the American demands seems to be based on the belief that Germany will bring pressure on her alley to affect an adjustment of the controversy. Aa Washington views. the situation, there is one loophole through which/ Austria may avert the crisis without immediately yielding to this government's demands. This might be accepted if the foreign office at Vienna should find itself able to repudiate the admiralty statement which confirmed the American evidence that the Ancona, while at a standstill, was torpedoed and sunk with passengers still on board. That statement by the Austrian admiralty is the keystone one which the United States rests its case. As long* as it stands unrepudiated this government will feel It has all the evidence" necessary and that, it can not enter into a discussion of other circumstances which are regarded as immaterial.

The infantry camp lay. between as and the road. The c&mpflre la front yielded just enough light to enable me to study out our surroundings. The hand still played noisily in the courtroom above. The camp was quiet, the sol* dlers apparently sleeping on the ground. I could perceive only a few tents, showing white in the firelight, but the figures of sentries appeared here and there, slowly pacing their beats. Had I been alone I should have crept forward and endeavored to silo by unseen, but' I was conscious of the hand which grasped my sleeve, and my eyes fell to her face. "You are my guide tonight," I whispered softly. "Have you some plan already devised? There must be instant action. so Quickly, so unexpectedly, I have had no time in which to think. Isn't it best to go straight ahead, and run the chance?" ~ ^ "Past the guard yonder V "Yes; I am not greatly afraid of him!

"The spy you fellows planned to hang in the morning," I answered, amused by his unexpected good humor. "Sorry, Jack, but I'll have, to gag you." i "The pleasure is mine; don't mention it," and he winked facetiously, jwith a nod of his head toward the heavily breathing colonej. I bound a bit of rag over his mouth, more to give him an excuse for silence than because I had any fear he would raise an alarm. Noreen had silently opened the door, and slipped out into the corridor. With a swift glance Over the three helpless men left behind, I Joined her, and tightly closed the door. The light of the distant lamp revealed her face, but her eyes were serious. "Better leave the musket leaning against the wall," I whispered, noting she still grasped the weapon. "It will only arouse suspicion. There are two guards at the front entrance?" "Yes," she answered swiftly, "and you had better give the word. If they atop you and ask any Questions, give them any name you please—only yoa came with dispatches from General Ramsay two hours ago, and have been with Colonel Pickney ever since. It is less than an boor since the guard was relieved, tor Captain Fox left me in order to make the rounds, and these men will not know. Ton under stand?" , * Perfectly.

Apparently w* «Joa were upon her, a w 1 made some inane response to her words, yet I t t v the sentries at J fhd door noses attilr to tti+airftiffl and "Certainly; that will be the safest and best thing for you to do. I cannot tell yon how grateful I am to you; nothing I can-ever do will repay the service you have rendered me. You are a wonderfully brave girl." "Do you think so? Oh, but I am neither btave nor wonderful. I have scarcely known what I was doing; it didn't seem as if there was anything else I could do. But I know now; I have no doubt any more—unless— unless you refuse to let me." "I refuse! I do not understand what I could refuse. All that remains 1B for you to go to your room. You will be perfectly safe here." "How wiH I be safe here?" she asked Indignantly. "Do you suppose they will spare me, merely because I am a woman? This has not been done in secret; there are too many who know my part in your escape to ever keep the truth hidden. Colonel Pickney will have to make his report and shield himself from blame. There is not- an officer here who will stand openly in my defense, unless it be Captain Fox, and he could not help me, la it under such conditions you desire I rejnain here?" "But do you realise what going with » e will inevitably mean?" "Yea, I realize—not only the peril and hardship, but s7*rv issue Involved. I made my choice back in the courthouse. It is too late to withdraw." She paused as though unable to find expression, breathing heavily, and her "Hardly that; this has all occurred \ face sank until I could no longer see her eyes. "When—when I told Colonel Pickney that—that you were my husband," she faltered, driven to It by my continued silence, "I spoke hastily, it is true; for my only thought Just then was the necessity for saving your life. I felt that—that I could do no less, and—and I desired to Justify my acber me, and have no suspicion. Only ftion.

Besides, there is no other way in which you can attain the stables. I—I am ready to try It—are you?" I answered with the pressure of my hand on the fingers clasping my sleeve. There was no response; neither were they withdrawn. She drew a long breath, and stepped bravely forward. The way was clear, easily followed even in the darkness, and 1 walked close beside her. Within a few yards of the fellow she gave vent to a little ripple of laughter,- barely enough to attract attention, and again slipped her hand into the support of my arm. The soldier stood at attention, but made no effort whatever to bar our progress. We strolled on slowly, passing directly beneath the glare of the lamp. We attempted to talk, but I retain no memory of a single, word that was uttered. My heart was beating like an-engine, and my throat was dry, the] fingers of one hand gripping the butt of a revolver In my belt. I was dimly aware of the tremor in her voice, the pressing closer to me of her slender figure. We passed out^fteyond the glow of the revealing light, to where our eyes were able to sweep the darkened porch. There, were a dozen chain standing back of the rail, bnt none were occupied. She gave a little sob of relief, both hands nervously grasping my sleeve. "Thank God!" she said fervently, "now if we only have five minutes more!" •'What CHAPTER X X A Map Nearer. "The stables?" I asked, horses are there?" "Officers' mounts; but there were several others tied at the bitch rail an hoar ago. They appeared to be good stock; better even than the government horses." I could perceive them dimly, from where we aknlked la the shadow of the building. I took a atop or two forward, circling the house, so aa to better approach the animals along the of a s orchard fence. I she followed clooe at my heels and, turning, got * glimpse of her frightted face. "Theni ft s o reason wny yes should 1 amid softly, taking bar hands is satsa.

There was no other possible way; no other reason which would justify' me in such an act; but—but that confession left me utterly In your power." "In my power, Noreen! Surely you do not think that I will ever take advantage; that I will ever misconstrue your real purpose?" "No! bat will yon live up to the obligation? Oh, yon do not see the situation at all! When I said you were my husband I threw myself on your protection. I—I burned the boats. I am all alone now, unless—unless you stand by me. My father is dead; there is sot one person anywhere to whom I can go. If f remain here I shall bo placed under arrest before daylight—charged with aiding your perhaps charged with aiding yos in your work—and I have no friends, no defense. Tom, I must go os wtth you!"

Yon to ride wtth s»e? Ten "Surely; we will go together," and I gripped her hands tightly in mine, "Whatever happens I will do my best. But we must go at once." "Yes, and—and thank you." We crept forward along the shadow of the orchard fence, until we mingled with the horses fastened at the hitching rail. 1 selected among them, as best I could in the darkness, two that seemed well adapted to our purpose. I helped her silently into the saddle, thrusting one of my revolvers Into the empty holster, and then mounted myself. "Which way had we better go?" I asked, my face close, our horses touching. "Along the south road at first; there is a cut-off Just back of the old school." "And the pickets—do you know where they are posted?" "At the ford of the Green Briar— the main ford." "There are none at Benton?" "No; I do not think they even know the river is fordable there; it 1B not on the maps." We rode forward slowly, my hand on her bridle rein, keeping in the deeper shadows along the side of the road, until we passed beyond the last house of the village. If the camp was not alarmed for another half hour, our pursuers would be given a hard task. Strange that the Federal scouts had "nev^r located the Benton ford. To be sure it was narrow, and of no value in high water, yet an ideal place for raiding parties to cross, and all those hills beyond were full of guerrilla bands eager to strike quick and get safely away. That they dared to attack small bodies of troops, and especially poorly guarded wagon trains, had been demonstrated more than once, and this secret ford gave them easy opportunity. The Cowans certainly knew of its feasibility, and the wonder was they had never utilized it before. The longer I thought the more 1 began to dread the unknown dangers ahead—the gauntlet we must run before attaining the Confederate lines. We could baffle pursuit, but if once we came into contact witb those irregulars of the mountains—merciless, irresponsible— no one could predict the result. I could skulk along through the night, discard my horse, travel afoot, and thus avoid encountering any of those villains. I was myself a mountaineer, and knew the secret trails. But with her beside me, the two of ue mounted, such a feat was almost Impossible. I must find her food and shelter, and we could not travel on horseback without leaving a trail unconcealed. To be sure, I knew her of old; that she was strong, resourceful, fearless—yet she was a woman to be protected from insult, to be guarded against exposure; more, she was the woman I loved. But would she be in any less danger if 1 compelled her to return to Lewisburg? She would be exposed to indignities, to almost certain persecution from Raymond. "Noreen," I said, turning my face toward her. "Do you really think it best to try this ride with me?" "You do not wish me to go?" she asked, as instantly reining up. "You want me to return?" "No, not that. I have no thought but for your own good. Only do you understand the perils through which we must pass In those mountains?" „ "Yes, I do understand," she answered soberly, "and 1 comprehend, as you cannot, the danger of my returning to Lewisburg. I will never go back there; but, if you think it best for us to part, I will endeavor to reach Charleston alone." "You would rather go on with me?" T made that choice, but If you consider me a burden—" "No, it is not that, Noreen," I Interrupted, touched by the regretful tone of her voice. "It was of you I was thinking, not myself. Then we go on together?" She was silent, her eyes on the darkness ahead. "It must be your decision," I insisted. "I made my choice an hour ago." she answered frankly. I waited an instant thinking she might say more, but she sat motionless in the saddle. Just what her decision signified I could not Judge. It seemed to me that between two dangers she had simply chosen the one she deemed to be the lesser. It was not affection for me. but fear of others, which urged her forward. Grasping her bridle rein, I rode on through the dark without another word. The decision had been made; now we moat both of us abide the consequences. <TO BE CONTINUED.)

A Bunch of 'Mums That Makes Bright the Living Room. HANDLING FLOWER POTS By IDA M. 8HEPLER. Casters we know are cheap. Five cents apiece, and (our of these fastened in the discarded legs of an old table, bed, or even if these are not at hand, four pieces of square pine wood on which you can nail a lone shallow box. This is really a good stand on which to slip your window plants In their pots. Pill the shallow box half full of sand, bed the pots in this sand, which absorbs the moisture from the pots, sating the carpet below and sending some of it back into the plant roots. Of course the box should be painted a good color. I have seen for this arrangement the combination of the legs painted green and the box done in lattice like stripes of white and green. Make the box as long as you have room each aide of the window (not measuring just the window space itself), as then one can alternate the pots, bringing the end pits in turn to the middle and direct Debt On very cold nights, as glass draws Croat as well as heat, flowers often get nipped. A box for plants resting on casters is easily drawn away from the window direct, and can be pushed back the next morning. These casters are also a convenience when sweeping about the window. Any woman who keeps house plants in her room can, herself, make two or throe window boxes, legs and all, picked up from where carpenters are building. These boxes, of coarse, are used mainly in windows that are kept for the saving of plants for spring, and yet they can contain an assortment of flowers, which, hanked back of a win dow, give an effective picture of beauty -to the passer-by as wen as to the inmates of the room. For a small window, and one from which yon must get light for the room, be sparing of the plants. There Is nothing pretty in a dark room, the cause of which is the window literally hong and placed full of all manner of foliage. It is such "a mistake to fill op a window so full of plants and vines in winter that one can neither get light for reading nor sight of the prettier world outside. A few plants, in a small window, artistically arranged. Is a much happier scheme. If you are boring winter plants from the florist, dont unwrap the roots until ready to pot them, but be sure to give the soil in which the plant roots are bedded, plenty of water—keep them literally soaked in water, and by the time you are ready to pot, if it be but two hours after, you will find the plant wonderfully refreshed.

In SAVE YOUR BULBS Do not throw away your winter bulbs; they can be kept until next spring and planted in the garden, where it Is possible they may recover enough of their original strength to give a crop of flowers the next season. It is possible, I say, but it is not at all probable, that one out of ten will do so. Still, It does no harm to try. It is about as easy to put them into the ground as to dump them Into the refuse heap. But I would never advise anyone to make use of these bulbs a second season In the house.

In another important respect sheep raising in Australia differs from that (Prepared by the United States Depart* ment of Agriculture,) More and larger flocks of sheep are . •»,«,*-,--, • H ^ . ^ O . . » ^.Hn^ nMeAcMeAss.a..r^y. t»o- t»hwel f#u~lnl d4e«v—elo1p«m«*e«n*t o*»f l-cj*I«T Lst-^oc k^men themselves are inclined it -^,-, rf _ , , w «^ioml profitable agriculture in the middle l o w « « « - r PW.of,ticm, as some and eastern states. Under . present conditions sheep raising in tms eoun* try has not proved as attractive as in Australia and New Zealand, and in consequence the department of agriculture has recently conducted an toyesiigation, the results of which have just been -published in Bulletin 313, into the basic principles of the Industry in those countries. In New Zealand, says this bulletin, sheep raising is conducted on lines midway between those followed in our farming states and those in the range states. In Australia the sheep industry is, in the main, what would be called in America a "range proposition." With a total land area of a little more than the state of Wyoming, New Zealand has about 24,500,- 000 sheep as against 4,500,000 in Wyoming. The average size of the New Zealand flock is now 1,124 and seveneighths of the sheep are in flocks of more than 500 head each. In Wyoming the average size of the flock is nearly 3.000 head. Prom one to eight sheep-per acre are maintained in New Zealand on land which has been plowed and sown to artificial grasses, U the land has been surface sown without plowing, this number Is reduced to from one-half to two sheep per acre. jLand valued as high as 1150 sn acre has been profitably kept in grass for grazing alone, and nearly one-half of the occupied area is used mainly for sheep. The important place thus occupied by sheep In New Zealand is declared to be evidence of the possibilities of profit from valuable land devoted to well-managed flocks. The size of these flocks insures for them an interest and care which is not so frequent in the farming states In America. Nln Australia conditions more nearly resemble those In the American range states. Much of the Australian Prise*Winning Loioonbsra, land now used for sheep growing is destined to be devoted to farming, and the govern ment to taking an active part In assisting this development. In the meantime, land is plentiful and the flocks nave much space in which to ran.. There is, however, ems fnmenv ind important difference betlm miasirsnciiH sf Ihn ransjn hi Australia jmd In the tintted States. No ted to On tno other band, be Hampshire Down SHearttag Ewe. on the American range In Australia the flocks are not kept collected and under the care of hevders. but are fenced into "peddoekr" which vary from 5.000 to 10,000 acres in size. Here they are left to ran at will under practically natural conditions. In many cases they are only rounded up once a year for shearing. Even at lambing time there is little necessity for attention. This plan not only loosens labor—a dimcult problem in nil parts of Australia—but pats the sheep Into better condition than when they are ln^ charge of even the beat herders. On the other hand, the fencing of the sheep run is, of course, an added expense, but this Is considered as less important than the advantages aV ready named. ^ The greatest difference -of all. however, between the American and Australian sheep industries Id probably to be found In the handling of the wool after it has been shorn, la Australia and New Zealand the wool almost Invariably remains the property of (he grower until It is sold to the manufacturer. Under this system the cost of actually shearing the sheep Is only about one-half of the amount which the grower expends In preparm* Ids wool for market He himself divides the clip into various lots, and the grading is done with unlfornjltj and stactnoss. Overpassing, however, is avoided. In one Queensland abed 10.000 two-year-old wethers were shorn and" the ettp divided Into 11 classes. In a New South Wales flock of 7,000 head composed of ewes, yearling ewes and mate, 28 classes ware made, bet this-Js probably an Instance of overclasamg. Despite tno expense that this practice invoivee, tno Australian la firmly convinced that he realizes asore for his wool by selling it in such a number of distinct lots that tno manufacturer can find exact*?'** kind of wool be needs for a particular fabric andean buy that wool alone.

SNDIA beaU the world for the number and variety of its New Year days and thia is so because of the large number of races and religions. When a traveler who expects to •pond some time in the country goes to the bank with his letter of credit, usually a card is handed him on which is printed the various holidays. This It for his convenience, so that he win not let himself get out of funds and go to the bank in a hurry, only to find It dosed on account of some holiday. The holiday may-be Christian, Mohammedan or tP at of any one of the numerous Hindi sects. When the usual card was given me fa Bombay, says a writer 1 noted the •umber of these holidays which were ascribe* to New Year. Iltey did not exactly bear out the humorous description of every day tn the year as • New Tear day, but there seemed hardly a month of the Christian calendar which did not have at least one Mew Tear designated, and in some months there were more. Kaleidoscopic Bombay observes all these New Year days because the Stream of •static life which circulates through It includes ail the civilization and all the races and religions of the Orient, with some additions from the Occident. The spirit Is one of catholicity. • All the noes and all the religious the New Tear of the „ calendar, because British ^Jattv^jsjlla ts reflected In this day; observe the New Tear of it races and religions "^lamong themselves, at least to the extent of knocking off work. ' ' Whether in Bombay or Benares, the monkey temple has Its throng of Hinds worshipers, and the Mohammedans often are not unwilling to share ts the observance to the extent of foregoing their business activities. The Hindus on their part are apt to think It a shame to work on a Mohams u d s s New Tear day when the Moslem popnlartort may be thronging the Jasama Musosid moeque. So ft toes 1ft round the circle of New Tear hoU» t Here Is a simple arithmetical method ef ealestatiaf the time from the Is the terms of the Christian It the easier way is to aeeept question the fact that such a day Is the New Tear of Imp M s i i s i s i i l n era.

A venerable bearded priest stood beside the lamp. His discourse was earnest and solemn. Both man and woman hearers were rery attentive. The ceremonies of worship are quite simple, but the mysteries of the faith may be less so. The Parsees who have been educated tn England and many of these whose qngUsh education has been obtained tn Bombay resent the designation of fire worshipers. One of them gave me a monograph, written by a Parsee barrister in London, which explained the creed of the followers of Zoroaster as one of good thoughts, good words and good deeds, with the sacred flame as a symbol of the effulgence of the deity. It is not denied, however, that contact with Hindus and Mohammedans has caused corruptions to creep into the creed. The Hindus and Moslems regard the Parsees as lire worshipers. It was on a New Tear day that I drove out to Malabar bill, where are located the Towers of Silence, or the Parsee cemetery. Bvery traveler takes this drive. It Is past the other cemeteries, Christian and Mohammedan burial grounds and the Hindu burning ghat The cemetery of the Christians Is no longer need, but on almost any ] day there will be Mohammedan funerals and Hinds cremations On this day there were two Mohammedan funerals and three parties of] Hindu moaners, with their respective burdens at the burning ghat. Malabar trill is the choice snot overlooking the Arabian sea, Within the > cemetery grounds are flagstone steps,' ahaded walks and arbors and hovers. A luxuriant vegetation cowers the rocks, and there is everything that to make a beautiful garden of mourners in their white robes walking two abreast, each pair holding a handkerchief. The Parses accounts say that the body Is received by two bearded attendants at the entrance to the towers, and thai by them the shroud ts removed and then vultures do the rest This is probably what happened that day. All I could note on this occasion was a sudden movement of the vultures in the palm trees. There seemed to be hundreds of them. They paused for a minute on the outer edge of one of the towers and then disappeared within. In a few minutes they reappeared. The Parsee method of disposing of the dead is, perhaps, as the Parsees say, more sanitary than the Christian burial in the earth, or even than the Hindu cremation. It meets the tenet of their faith that fire, water and earth are too sacred to be polluted. But the western mind cannot become accustomed to i t la conclusion, it may be said that there are other New Tear observances in India besides the New Tear of the Christians, Mooammedana. Hindus and Parsees. There Is a Chinese colony in Bentinck street, Calcutta, and the Chinese there observe' the New Tear as they do tn the United States, o» In any other section of the world in which they are found. an undesirable. jPfem^ ''is. 4^a^a^p» in -fpsew -^"^^^^--*^^* weight 9f the unoer Jayers crashes the birds at 5»e booom^ -*.

The specialists, therefore, recommend the particular observance of the following methods of handling dressed poultry, which are essential to a perfect product at any time and are of vital Importance whenever weather conditions are unfavorable: Methods ef Handling Dressed Poultry. 1. Keep the holding batteries for your Incoming stock clean, well aired, and free from vermin, and see that the chickens hsve plenty ot fresh water and plenty to eat I. Don't hill s chicken when the crop Is full of feed. Give the chicken only water for 24 hours before it Is killed. Pood Jn the crop or tn the intestines of a dressed chicken ceases loss of flavor and hastens decay, which more than offsets any gain from extra weight 8. Good bleeding ts absolutely essential to a good appearance on the market and retards decay. Circular «1, bureau of chemistry, department of agriculture, explains the beet methods of bleeding and loosening the feather muscles for dry picking. 4 Hang the chicken by both feet while picking. Hanging by one leg spoils the shape of the bird. Picking on the lap gets the akin dirty and S. rry pick if possible. Scalding Is perticuHriy undesirable because it west ess decay. i.

In-the erection of wire fence It Is generally necessary to drive a large number of staples and for the security of the fence it is desirable that the staples should be driven straight and accurately. Owing to the iiregnisrSties of the wooden posts sod the strain of the fence wire, which Is under a heavy tension when being erected, It is not always an easy matter to pat the staples just where they are wanted to be of the most service.

O ' , . • * '•• &z.:. c iM "WE CHRYSANTHEMUM No flower can boast of a more axisto eratle ancestry than the chrysanthemum. There is reason tor its haughty demeanor and often Insolent expression. For the golden flaring yellow beauty Is able to trace its lineage back to the royal gardens of some forgotten mikado, who admired its forefathers many centuries ago. The origin of the flower as the pet of royalty Is lost in the ear'y twilight of eastern history; It was probably ceUlvated'in the early days of Confucius, and has certainly been treasured In the Orient from time immemorial. The emblem and crest of the mikado of Japan are the leaf and flower of the chrysanthemum. The first appearance of the flower In Europe was probably In 1764, when specimens found their way to the botanical gardens in old Chelsea, England. These were only small yellow things and did not arouse much enthusiasm* Not very much was done with the chrysanthemum in England antU ebewt 1S35. Method of chrysanthemum culture given by a leading horticulturist is as follows: To produce the bes* reWfcs, the young shoots should tat planted in three-inch pots eeal/ m the spring, and In six weeks transferred to Are-inch pots. As soon as the plants hare attains* a height of nine or ten inches the* should be "pinched back,'* that is. an inch or so of the center of the plant be pinched off. This causes the plants to become "bushy," as it caeca* the tendency of an upward, spindly trowth. If fine plants are desired this pinching back process Should be repeated every two weeks antfl August The plants will by that time hare attained a height of about two feet By October they will hare another loot ha height and will hare from fifteen to show neighborliness is to keep you* chickens and stock at home and look after your part of the line fence. There la no secret about the success of a man who adopts the best methods and works for them. Mixing compost rough for flower pots means without sifting tt Roman hyacinths are best for late potting, as they come into bloom much earlier than the Dutch varieties. Bach bulb throws up several flower spikes. Fall planting Is best for peonies. Don't be too severe on your plants in summer, Lut at the rame time let them understand you hold the reins and they cannot run riot The queen of bedding plants Is the Phlox Druioiiiondl. Sow where they are to grow, in fine rich soil, and thin the tall ones so that they stand about ten inches apart and the dwarfs six inches apart Give them rich soil, plenty of water and watch the results. EXTRA LINEN SUPPtY MATTER THAT 1« THE OE8IRE OF EVERY HOUSEWIFE. BEST FERN FOR LIVING ROOM NOTES JN SEASON a little money for garden tools s^d keep a box or two bandy where yea By «1. T. GRAINGER. 7>e best fern for the living room depends on the temperature of your living room. If your room Is heated with hot water you can grow ferns in It that would soon die if kept in a room heated by steam, or hot air, or a wood Are. For such a room I would advise Whitman's, one of the most beautiful varieties of recent introduction. It Is a sprout from the old Boston fern. It has shorter fronds than that variety, but they are broader, and the leaflets on them are developed into miniature fronds, thus making it a most graceful plant when wen grown. Its fronds have a plumelike effect that make a fine specimen of one of the most ornamental of decorative plants. Give it a soil of leaf-mold, or turfy matter* kesp it well watered and out of the sunshine, and it will do well in rooms where the heat is not Intense or dry. I would not advise trying to grow it under other conditions. Monograms Should Be Embroidered on Every Piece—Fancy Work That Caw Be Done t« Moments of Leisure. No housekeeper can ever have enough attractive linen for her table and her bedroossa> She may have enough for actual service, but it is wise to keep just a tittle ahead of the actual need in extra towels for guestroom and bathroom. It is also advisable to keep just a little ahead In the supply o( linen for the table. Every set of napkins and each tablecloth should have the housewife's surname initial or her monogram em broidered upon ft. There is a question as to the proper place to put the Initial or monogram, but the majority prefer the letter on tablecloths to be in the corner, where they will come lust off the rounded edge of the table Napkins should have the initials In the corner or In the middle on one side, where they will be on top when the napkins are folded. Tea napkins are the only ones on which a wreath can appropriately be placed. It is quite permissible to place an initial within the wreath or other decorative motif. Tea napkins can also be finished with hemstitched or scalloped edges. Some women may argue that they haven't time to put fancy work on household linen. This is a poor -argument for almost every woman has a few moments during the day when she sits down to chat with a neigh DOT or when she is waiting for the homecoming of her husband to his evening meal. It is during these odd moments that a great deal can be accomplished, especially in the way of fancy work. Pick-up work is good for the nerves. One-Dish Mesl.

The Yaaaka Mam is said to have carried 25,000,000 yen (about $12,500,- 000) in Japanese sold. The Insurance on the veeael amounts to 5,600,000 yen. The Nippon Yusen Kaisha, owners of the Yaaaka Maru, are discussing the. feasibility of abandoning the Suez canal route for future sailings of their vessels in favor of a route around the Cape of Good Hope. Advices received by the Nippon Yusen Kaisha state that the Yaaaka Maru was torpedoed without warning and that she sank in 49 minutes. This occurred in the afternoon of Tuesday, and it was midnight when the passengers and crew were rescued by the French gunboat The new Japanese liner Yesaka Maru, which was sunk in the eastern Mediterranean Tuesday by a submarine, while the steamers was on her way from London to Japan with 120 passengers and a crew of 160 aboard, was sent to the bottom without warnlog, according to a ri.~Wt received f m Port Said from the agents of IS* owners. Jjt of those on board the ship, including one American passenger, W. J. Leigh, were saved. The nationality of the submarine is not mentioned by the agents and previous reports referred to the sinking of the ship as done by either an Austrian or a German submersible. The Yaaaka Maru was sunk Tuesday afternoon. A French gunboat picked up the passengers and crew at midnight and landed them at Port Said Wednesday morning. The company provided hotel accommodations for them and is arranging to forward them to their destinations. On the passenger list were 51 men, 54 women and 15 children, most of whom were British subjects. The agents In their report say further: "The passengers express great admiration for the skill of the captain and the officers and for the discipline of the crew. Perfect order was maintained during the embarkation, which carried out with the greatest tude." J. Leigh is an American citiborn In China. His father was ornian.

El Paso, Tex.—All Americans were ordered out of Juarez at 8:30 Tuesday evening. They were ordered to remain on the American side by General J. J. Pershing, commanding the Eighth brigade at Fort Bliss, at the same time. Tramway traffic was discontinued. A mob was reported to have surrounded the government finendal agency at Juares demanding money. Later in the evening an Official of the de facto government at Juare* telephoned that the situation was under control He said there had been trouble with the soldiers over wages payment, but that this matter bad been settled satisfactorily. Mrs. Thomas Edwards, wife of the American consul at Juarez, was the first American to cross into the United States following the order, given out at military headquarters. Edwards left for the east several days ago. The United States border patrol immediately was Increased and traffic over the international bridges halted. No Americans were permitted to cross, the order of General Pershing being rigidly enforced.

MIX CONTINUES THR0UEH DAY Great Property Damage Is Suffered la And About Metropolis by Reason of Ninety-Mile Gale of Wind. New York—One of the weirdest storms the east has seen in many years—rain, hail and snow accompanied by thunder and lightning and a gale that reached a maximum veloctiy of 90 miles an hour—descended from the nohthwest early Sunday aa the aftermath of a Christmas fog. It indirectly caused seven deaths in this city carried down telegraph wires, damaged shipping, crippled rait road traffic and other considerable property damage. The phenomenon of thunder and lightning in the midst of a driving snow awakened New Yorkers at the height of the storm about 7 o'clock Sunday morning. A gale from the south accompanied by rain had been blowing during the night, but the temperature dropped during the early morning hours, changing the rain to hail and then to snow. The local weather bureau reported a total precipitation of 5.2 inches, of which 2.8 was snow. The wind shifted to the northwest and increased in violence, reaching its 90-mile intensity at 9 o'clock and soon after carrying off the storm clouds. The gale continued, however, throughout the day, blowing in hundreds of plate glass windows, hurling signs and copings to the streets, and demolishing several partly built structures. The storm had its center in Massachusetts, the weather bureau reported, and the telegraph companies said their service In New England had been badly crippled, although communication had not been entirely lost with the principal cities. Several of the land lines of the cable companies between New York and Nova Scotia were put out of business. Live Stock.

If I could only rest for an hour—" "You shall—all day long. We will find a place in which to hide down there in the valley." The road led winding down between rocky banks into a narrow valley, hemmed in by great hills, and watered by a small stream. As we paused to let the thirsty animals drink, the increasing daylight gave me glimpse of a bridle path skirting the edge of the stream along.the west bank. The path tamed sharply to the right, and as we mounted to the slightly higher ground we could see the cabin perched on a little knoll, against the black hill behind. # Barely nothing about the shanty, or its immediate surroundings. Indicated present occupancy. Yet when 1 finally advanced it was with caution, and a strange sense of expectation. Noreen followed closely behind, treading almost in my footsteps, as noiseless as a fawn, her skirts held close about her limbs. At the edge of the woods she stood motionless as I went crouching forward. The cabin was not deserted, in spite of its desolate outward appearance. Opposite me was an open fireplace, an iron kettle sitting in the ashes, while a abort-barreled rifle stood upright in a corner. On one of the stools lay a broad-brimmed hat, and a pair of ragged corduroy trousers hung on a wooden peg beside the unbarred door. I motioned to her to join me. In spite of the lines of weariness in her face the light of the dawn revealed a beauty that caused my heart to throb. Her eyes silently Questioned me, and I explained quickly what discovery I had made. "But the man may return," she aald doubtfully. **Ot course, although I imagine he has disappeared for the day. If he is biding, out he may not dare to remain here in daylight Anyway yoa can rest safely, for I am not in need i/>-. >•'1-:^1: 3y5T •• *K '- :^ .**»**< Wtta Ua» la my tyaat a short areterrtaty eeD will '&LZ&-?-*<*?*: 1 ^2¾^^*•.

At, first I thought him crasy enough to take the chance of my fire; tbeo the big fingers relaxed, and the rifle tell clattering to the floor. To my surprise, the fallow laagbed. "Well, 111 be damned!" he chortled, "you here?** He threw back bis head, and I recognised him—Jem Taylor, old Ned Cowan. I drew, a .quick breath, my teeth clenched, my arm steady. This encounter was going to prove no boy's play. "Put down yer popgun, boy, an' take it easy—-the blame thing mout go off. I reckon as how we all hav'n't got nuthin' ter fight fer, haV we?

"Shucks, lad; 'twas no more than a fair fight" 'It was cold-blooded murder, Cowan!" I exclaimed Indignantly, "the culmination of a feud." "Huh who told yer thatr I stepped aside, but still held him under the mussle of my revolver. The change in posture brought the man face to face with Noreen; I saw him lean forward and gase at her; then recoil, as though he viewed a ghost She never moved, never spoke. "Good Lord!" he muttered. "Is that Harwood's girl? Why, Ansa's out huntin' after her now—" He stopped, cursing fiercely to hlmaelt His eyes shifted their gate from the face of the girl to mine. They were narrow cat eyes, cruel and cunning. "I reckon, I ain't seen or Harwood's gal afore In maybe five year." he aald alowly, "but she has sure growed up fine. Anse toosL after marrying' her furst jlst ter spite Harwood, but alnce he seed her a while back he's sorter took a notion he wants her blssetf. I reckon I don't blame him.

An' he' knowa the gal yere had a room at ther hotel. Thar Is where ha went aimla' fer tar raid the shebang Just before daylight" He laughed again mirthlessly.

"Noreen!" the name choked in my throat "Yes; It's all right now—Cowan Is dead." "Dead! You—you killed him?" "No; It must have been your shot I had no chance; you—you two fought like madmen—then—then be just let go of you, and fell back. 1 was afraid to come—1 thought at first be had killed you." "My shot! why the revolver just went off." 1 muttered, scarcely comprehending. "See! the bullet burned me across the chest and there la blood there. And you say it struck htm? Lord! 1 never knew. Help me to sit up, Noreen." With the aid of her arms 1 found support against the table. The blue coat I wore showed clearly the mark of the bullet, and blood discolored the burned cloth. I ran my hand within, touching the flesh. "A mere scratch." I said lightly, "requiring a little water. Don't cry, Noreen; there Is no harm done; ill be all right io a minute. Are you sure Cowan la dead?" "Yes; he—he hasn't moved since; but—but 1 didn't kill him." "Of course no. and I'm glad I did. This is part of my trade, and I'll not lose any sleep over It. Ah! 1 can get up alone, and the first thing I am going to do Is to bar that door." CHAPTfeR XXU. \?:". -•**•-Vim* ' ? - - ' \ - • * , . : V ' *"" We Understand Each Other. Noreen had drawn away from the body of the dead man, and stood against the farther log wall, with face hidden In her hands. Cowan lay at full length, one arm thrown across his eyes. I bent over him, touching his flesh with my fingers. The ball had penetrated his abdomen, and how the fellow ever fought so fiercely after receiving his death wound 1 can never understand. I think that in his mad ferocity he was scarcely aware that he was hurt I turned him partly over, and drew out from the inside pocket of his blouse a handful of papers concealed there. One waa a buff packet, which had been roughly torn open— the one taken from Major Harwood the night of his murder. The packet contained several official papers, but the principal paper waa a carefully prepared list of irregulars operating throughout the mountain country, with aamea of the betterknown leaders, the estimated strength of each separate gang, the region in which they hid, and the side they -espoused, if any. Thia had evidently been carefully prepared by some staff officer, undoubtedly Major Harwood himself, aa the letter referred to him as having been detailed to such duty, aad waa full and complete. I found therein thia mention of the Cowans: "Father and two sons; probably control fifty or more men, with headquarters near Union tn Green Briar mountains; raid indiscriminately; have attacked our forage trains; refuse to co-operate, and continue to terrorise a large section; raided Lewisburg before it was occupied by troops, killing several, and looting the shops Is considered the most dangerous gaag operating in Green Briar aad Monroe counties; reports of atrocities received almost daily, many too hideous to repeat" I glanced up at Noreen, and her eyei met mine inquiringly. "Is this your father's handwritingr I asked, holding the paper toward him. "Yes; what is it-importantr "Not very eompBmentary to Cowan here, A report to Geaeral Halleck. at Washington, of conditions ia western Virginia.

Some months ago the Department of the Interior, at Ottawa, Canada, wrote to those in the United States who were owners of land in Western Canada that waa not producing, advialng that it be put under crop. The high prices of grain and their probable continuance for some years should be taken advantage of. Cattle and all the produce of the farm commanded good figures, and the opportunity to feed the world was great, while the profits were simply alarming. The Department suggested that money could be made out of these idle lands, lands that could produce anywhere from 25 to 65 bushels of wheat per acre. A number took advantage of the suggestion. One of these was an Illinois farmer. He owned a large quantity of land near Culross, Manitoba. He decided to put one thousand acres of it under wheat. His own story, written to Mr. C. J. Broughton, Canadian Government Agent at Chicago, Is interesting. "1 had 1,000 acres in wheat near Culross, Manitoba. I Threshed 34,000 bushels, being an average of 34 bushels to the acre. Last Spring I sold my foreman, Mr. F. L. Hill, 240 acres of land for $9,000, or $37.50 per acre* He had saved up about $1,000, whtea he could buy seed with, and have land harrowed, drilled and harve; and put in stook or "As a first aayaaaat ! all tftp <rofi reaasd. "mffT<*m threaaai he had Mas a***** a* wheat, aaBtea is worth In all $1.00 per bushel, thereby paying for all the land that waa In wheat and more, too, there being only 200 acres In crop. If the 240 acres had all been in wheat he could have paid for it all and had money left." That is a story that will need no corroboration In this year when, no matter which way you turn, you learn of farmers who had even higher yielda than these. G. K. Davidson of Manltou, Manitoba, had 86 acres of breaking and 14 acres older land. He got 2,186 bushels of wheat, over 43 bushels per acre. Walter Tukner of Darlingford, Manitoba, had 8,514 bushels ca a 60 acre field, or over 68½ bushels per acre. Forty acres wss breaking and 20 acres summer fallow. Wm. Sharp, formerly Member of Parliament for Ltagar, Manitoba, bad 80 acres of wheat on his farm near Manitoo, Manitoba, that went 88 bushels per acre. One of the most remarkabl ia this old aettled portion of was that of P. 8charf of Man! threshed from 15 acres the enal yield of 78 bushels per These reports are but from one. trlct aad when it is known that: almost say district in a grain; aeaff of 80,000 square miles, yleWsArhtte^ not as large generally as these fcotod« * bat in many cases as good, istyt say wonder that Canada is hoUmg tta head high m the air in its coaajsartag career as the high wheat yiesdar of the continent?

A BKXTC9 OF HBB LIFE The Gravis family moved from Oanaetots, N. Y. to Petteysville, Mich, when Elizabeth was a babe As a child she was vivacious and foil of ambition, and inclined to work beyond her strength. Eager to gain an education, she was an industrious student, and at the age or eighteen began teaching in the Public Schools. For several years she followed her chosen profession in_ this county and in Owosso. to which city the family moved in 18^0. Here Elizabeth found larger opportunities Jor, usefulness and became very active in the Christian findeaver work of the Cqng'l. church, and was, for a number of years, a faithful teacher in the Primary Department of the Sunday School. She possessed a personality of "much brightness and oh arm and has rare sifts of mtnd and a decided talent for teachiug. Had health permitted she undoubtedly would have attained no small degree of success in her chosen profession. '•AH wholtnew her were impressed* by her gentle but strong character."

The question is asked, * "How can geraniums be wintered in the cellarr in two ways: First, in pots. Second, by hanging them up by the heels, so to speak. Neither way is absolutely sure to bring them through In good condition. But either way may prove successful, therefore it is advisable to try both it one has fine varieties he would like to'save for next summer. If one fails the other may prove successful. To winter them in pots the plants should be crowded into as small pots as will contain them, and than the tops should be cnt away so that" all that remains of the summer's growth is a few stubs at the base of tha plant Do not try to encourage any growth after potting. Set them away la a cool but frost-proof place and keep/ them there as long as It is safe to do so. Then pat th«m In a cool oeUar, The soil in the pots should be quite dry'whan they go iato cold storage, and it should be kept la that- condition, as nearly as possible* all through the winter.

The reply states that the commander ot the Austrian submarine has been punished for not sufficiently taking account of the panic aboard the Ancons, which rendered disembarkation more difficult. The Austrian note, while announcing the willingness of the Austro- Hungarian government to pay an indemnity for the American victims of the Ancona, declares that the govern* Beat "cannot admit responsibility for damage caused by the justifiable firing on the fleeing vessel, or by the capslstug of the boats before the torpedo was fired." __ The Austrian reply further expresses the hope that Washington will be able to supply the particulars of how the American citisens were affected, but In the event of such evidence being lacking and the United States being unable to state how the American citisens came to their death, the Austro-Hungarlan government "Is ready to pass lightly over this deficiency, and indemnity for damages whose proximate causes cannot be fixed, and hopes thereby that the Incident will be regarded as ended."

Secretary Lansing's proposal which has the full support of President Wilson, is being forwarded by the Latin American ambassadors and ministers here to their home foreign offices for consideration. It is regarded as ons of the steps in a wide plan in which the Pan-American Scientific congress, now in session here, Is a part for preservation of peace on the western hemisphere and a closer union of all the Americas. The status of the negotiations and the details of Secretary-T<snsing's proposal are so far being held confidential between the state department and the Latin-American chancellories here. The technical form In which the new proposal was made was not disclosed, but there are indications that it took the usual form of a memorandum to the diplomats, and was In such official form at could be transmitted to their home governments at the basis for action. One of the. first elements of the proposal is the preservation of peace on the American continent It is realised that the chief menaces to such a peace are boundary disputes and revolutionary activity.. ; • * * .

London—The British liner Persia, sank in die Mediterannean Thursday by a submarine, waa torpedoed without warning and tank in Ave minutes, according to unofficial dispatches received Sunday from Cairo. Aa no submarine was teen H Is possible that a mine caused the explosion. Between 150 and 160 survivors, passengers and crew, have been landed at Alexandria* Egypt As the Per* sia carried 400 pasaengers and crew, this leaves about 250 per? DUB misting anU probably dead. Most of the survivors landed at Alexandria are members of the Persia's crew. Robert Ney McNeely, American consul at Aden. Arabia, is believed to have been drowned, neuter's Cairo correspondent makes the unreserved statement that Mr. McNeely lost his life, -Charles H. Grant, of Boston, was saved. - Reports Vary Slightly. The Peninsular & Oriental Co., which owned the Persia, announced Sunday morning that 150 survivors had arrived at Alexandria. A Lloyd's dispatch gives the number at 1537 made up of 50 passengers, of whom 17 are women; and 94 members of the crew, including 50 Lascars. The survivors include 10 military officers and eight persons who are not British subjects. "The ship was struck amidships on -the port side at 1:10 p. m.," says Renter's correspondent at Cairo. "She had disappeared completely by 1:15. "Survivors say it was little short of a miracle that anyone was saved. There was no panic. Four boats were launched, with the utmost promptitude. "The captain waa drowned. When last seen he was swimming, after the liner had plunged beneath the surface. One hundred and fifty-eight survivors have arrived at Alexandria, ^hey Include the chief officer, second officer, seven engineers, 27 seamen, 63 Lascars and 59 passengers," Washington Needs Proofs. With information at hand to show that about 250 persons, including United States Consul Robert Ney Mc- Neely, probably lost their rives when the British liner Persia was sunk in the Mediterranean, the hands of the state department were temporarily tied. Unlets more detailed and positive information it obtained as to the circumstances ot the attack, highest officials of the state department admitted that the American government may never be in a position to demand an accounting.

The spot where Noreen lay was not fifty feet distant but my position gave me no glimpse of her through the tangled brush. I must have dosed, for the sun was high overhead when 1 finally aroused myself, and arose to my feet 1 watered the animals, and seated myself again, this time on a flat stone beside the.sream. Surely I had never been here before, even in the days of my boyhood's vagrant } tramping, and yet that terraced crest with the huge rock chimney rising conspicuous at its center, revived a recollection that would not be entirely denied. I had seen It before, but from another angle—from the south; from that hillside, perhaps, where the creek headed. Why, that was Cane Ridge! I do" not know why I laughed, but 1 did—perhaps it was from sudden relief at thus discovering exactly where we were, and seeing clearly the easier way out The sound of a foot stepping on a round atone caused me to face about Noreen was within a few feet of me, higher up on the bank, one hand holding back the bough of a tree. "Why were you laughing?** she asked.

"We have been friends, and I think we will always be. I do trust ydu, and believe In you; only I wanted to understand fully your motive. I do not blame you, nor myself; we did what seemed best at the time, and— now we must meet the issue as we best can. Perhaps I should not have said what I did back there in Lewis* burg. I had no time in which to consider, and my only thought then was to justify my action in aiding your escape. My—my being your-—your wife was the only excuse I could urge for such disloyalty.'* "And now you are sorry?** "I—do not^know,** hesitatingly. *T cannot decide. Where do you take me?" "NoreeB," I said soberly, struggling to keep my head from touching- her own, where It rested on the grass, "it Is too late now to go back; to think of going back.

There is only one straight path left for us now*-- aeross the mountains to old Virginia." "I—I know—and then r "You must trust my honor, my discretion.

Twice we heard guns, but the reports were but distant echoes, sounding afar off to the westward. Yet these made me nervous to get away, and when a number sounded together—almost a volley, distinctly audible, I hastened to pack what little remained df food on our horses, and led the way, fording the* shallow stream, and guiding my horse up the opposite bank into the deep shadow of the woods beyond. The summit of the hill was open, except for a considerable grove to the rear of the church. That edifice appeared, as I remembered i t unchanged In any respect— a fairly large building, constructed solidly of logs, with square, ciapboarded tower in front four windows on each side, containing small panes of glass, a number of them broken. We were at the rear, which showed a larger window, and a narrow door at*one comer, protected by a porch. It appeared desolate and deserted, the loneliness accentuated by the empty bitching racks on either side. We. advanced side by Bide along what was once a well-trodden path, making no attempt at concealment Indeed, any such effort would have been useless, as the crest of the ridge lay open) and bare of vegetation, but I was so fully convinced we were unobserved that I took.no precaution—my entire thought, Indeed, centered upon the girl at my side. The heavy latch of the front door lifted, easily to the pressure of my hand, and we stepped into a narrow vestibule, Noreen' grasping my arm nervously, as she faced the shadowed Interior of the deserted building. Borne Instinct of caution caused me to close the door behind us, and then I drew her forward, laughing at her fears, until we obtained glimpse of the larger room, already becoming obscured by the approaching night It was a rather shabby-looking place, not overly clean, even In that merciful dimness. Rude benches, without backs, stretched almost from wall to wall, a narrow aisle leading to the pulpit, set within an alcove, and scarcely discernible except in barest outlines. I recognised a big Bible, lying open on the gaunt pulpit stand A book of some kind, dog's; eared and coverless, lay on the floor at my feet and I bent to pick it up. As I came upright again, a man stepped from the shadow of a corner, and the steel barrel of a revolver flashed before my eyes. I felt Noreen cringe against me, uttering a muffled cry. "Stand as you are, Yank." said a rather pleasant voice. "Pardon me, lady." He was a young fellow, with bold, black eyes, a little, Jaunty mustache, and a mouth inclined to laugh, but what I stared at in open-eyed astonishment was his broad-brimmed hat and natty gray cavalry jacket "Some surprise party, I reckon," he chuckled grimly. "Here, Wharton, kindly relieve the gentleman of his arsenal; take the lady's gun, also. It's all right boys." To my unbounded amaxement, up from the floor, where they had been lying concealed beneath the benches, a number of men came scrambling to their feet Those nearest me were gray dad troopers, with carbines in their header^ "Who, in heaven's name, are you?" I asked, at last finding my voice. "Confederates here?** "Your first guess is an excellent one," he answered lightly, evidently enjoying the scene. "You have the honor of being prisoner to the Third Kentucky cavalry. Wharton." "Yes, sir.*1 The sergeant advanced. ^Conduct tho lady and gentleman to the sanctity of the pulpit sergeant where they may commune with the presiding genius of this house of worship erected in the wilderness.** "You mean you hold prisoner Parson NlchoUr 1 asked "No doubt tis he.

Garden-—Easy to Grow and A WORD ABOUT PEONIES Peonies should be planted in the autumn early if they are to do well the first year, October being the best time for the work. They are not too particular as to soil; but in every case this should be well dug to the depth of 18 inches, enriching it with manure, which should not, however, be allowed to come in contact with the root in planting, but rather be mixed with the top soiL at the distance of a few inches from the plant Peonies are propagated both by seed and by division; the former plan, however, Is lengthy and troublesome, as the majority of a batch of hybrids will be found worthless, and a large plot of ground is necessary as a place of trial They can only be obtained true to name by division of the roots; but this should not be attempted until the plant has been in one place for two or three years, as they do much better when undisturbed, when it will mature fine shoots, which year by year increase in size until the peonies become one of the grandest sights in the garden. During a drought in summer (particularly when the plant is young) an occasional soaking with water will benefit the peony, and every spring (in March) a mulch of rich soil or hotbed material should be laid over its roots. When peonies are grown in a sep arate bed an edging of daffodils will be effective with the crimson shoots of the peonies In April. The foliage of many of these plants turns in autumn to various shades of purple, bronze and crimson, when the plants again.become decorative; and It is a mistake to ctft off the foliage of the peony directly after flowering, as It is necessary to the plant while maturing its growth for next season and makes a mass of not undecoratlve green. - Tall lilies can be grown between the peonies in a border, choosing the hardiest varieties for a cold situation. These will make their way between the foliage of the peonies and look very handsome after the peonies cease to bloom. Other suitable plants for massing with peonies are the tall blue and white delphiniums. Campanula perslclfolia (in blue or white), pyrethrums, aqullegias, etc., all of which are perennials. Carnations are attractive massed with peonies, and will do well with the same cultivation as the peonies. For a bouquet for the home, these splendid flowers are unique when cut with long stems and arrange in a bowl with plenty of their own foliage to set them off. «*> *P ^;^WP^ »Hm &*"N '^ V ^ 7*H * i, ;/. $& y &§Si ^ N ^ * * ^ • P ^ » « » * » W H ( » R « » * P « :'<&*• • * !

Then she should dress her hair to hide any unattractive angles or features and to accentuate the well-formed and attractive features. To Borne the hair is more becoming if the greater part of the forehead shows. To others the hair drawn down so as to "cut" the forehead proves more becoming. If the ears are not beautifully shaped the hair should be brought over them by all means. If covering the entire ear forms an angle that is not becoming to the face, the lobe of the ear should be allowed to show. The eyes are particularly affected by the manner of combing the hair. Some eyea, especially the almondshaped, are most beautiful when the hair comes over the forehead, almost touching the eyebrows. Other eyes appear larger and give forth more brilliancy if the hair is drawn wen" away. Parting the hair in the center or on the aide also has great Influence on the eyea. And the nose!

If this is done the cow may yield even more milk from the rear quarters and develop a funnel shaped udder. Drawing milk from a fore quarter on one side and from a rear quarter on the other side is practiced by some milkers. This may be all right if the quarters are begun alternately. All the milk that is let down into the teat should be drawn out with each pressure of the hand. If this is not done it may develop a hard milking cow. Try to milk a full stream that causes foam to rise in the pall without hurting the cow. If it hurts her ease the pressure on her teat Experience has taught me that the cow's udder can be milked dry with the full hand and that stripping is unnecessary- A few gentle pressures upwnrd against the milk cistern usually bring down the last drops of milk.

She ls giving little or no milk, aud ail she eats yields no returns. At this time, especially if the "fodder'' is getting low, is when some men begin to economize; they reason that the cow is glting no milk, therefore she needs but little to eat aud that little may be straw or other coarse food while the b'tiild 1K» hch1 ! cow that Is milking will have all the the anus or \ more nutritious foods. This last idea 1B all right; feed the heavy milker all •he can eat at a profit and of the best foods you can get but do not slight the dry cow. Her hard work is about to begin and when It does it begins in earnest. She is preparing to do her one most profitable bit of work if she be a pure bred cow, and she needs the best of care instead of the poorest It Is a great drain on the system to reproduce, and tho body requires nutritious foods.

HIS CAREER ENDED NOW BY DEATH AT EL PAZO •"TBew ~York—An explosion, which naval officers so far are unable to explain, completely wrecked the interior of the United States submarine B-3 :_vnhtte she was being repaired In dry- 1 # ^ H B in the Brooklyn navy yard, in- •tastly Wiling one enlisted man and three ym*JspV>rkmen, and injuring at least 11 others at work in the submarine so severely that some of them are expected to die. * In the opinion of naval surgeons and of enlisted men, including members of the crews of other submarines, a number of the injured may die because of the effects of the poisonous gases upon the lungs, not to mention the severity of ,the bodily injuries inflicted. The E-2 was the only submarine in the navy equipped with Edison bat* teries, for which the thief merit claimed is that they do not give off chlorine gas/ Also the E-2 had no gasoline aboard, aa her motive power Is generated by an oil-burning engine. The submarine had been in dry dock since December 30 last. Consequently she was dry outside and inside. Sea water, which when an undersea boat is submerged, might help in the formation of gases in submarines equipped with lead batteries, could not enter into the accident. The commander of the E-2, Lieutenant Charles M. Cooke, Jr., and about 30 members of the crew and yard workmen were aboard the submarine when the explosion occurred. Lieutenant Cooke was merely jolted about a bit and scratched slightly. At the time of the explosion members of the crew and workmen were installing a more effective ventilating system around the Edison batteries. The only theory as to the cause of the explosion advanced was that, although the batteries are said to give off no appreciable quantity of chlorine gas, it is possible that a sufficient amount of hydrogen had been liberated which, when a ventilating duct running from the battery was opened, mixed with the surrounding air and exploded.

Pittstcn,- Pa.—Sheriff George F. busB, of this city, sheriff of Luzarne county, with 12 members of the state constabulary, went to Dupont, near here, to see that Rev. Francis Kurkowski, now pastor of the Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, was not molested in the holding of services. Five hundred men and women friends of Fr. Edward Guzwa, deposed pastor, filled the little church yard when the officers arrived. The sheriff asked the crowd to make way for their new pastor. As he spoke, the church bell tolled. It was the signal. In a second, the mob charged the sheriff and troopers. Captain Leon Pitcher, of the constabulary, hit over the head with a club, dropped unconscious. The troopers brought their guns and riot-sticks into action. Stones, clubs and bullets filled the air. Ross Hum* er, a trooper, was struck with a club and suffered a fractured skull. Corporal Albert Carlson's shoulder was broken. Other troopers had their teeth knocked out. None escaped receiving some minor injury. Sheriff Bush telephoned for reinforcements. Eighteen troopers hustled from the barracks of troop B at Wyoming. When the fresh force arrived the battle was renewed, the troopers having the upperhand. They beat off the women, who threw red pepper and dry mustard in the officers' eyes, and made wholesale arrests of the participators, 73 being corralled in the church basement. "Later they were sent to the county jail at Wilkes- Barre. Four rioters were taken to Plttston hospital Buffering from bullet wounds. One, believed to be George Greick, died soon after admittance.

One | ^ ; < x t ^ e kneeling figures rose slowly un- r"^^: - :^l Ws eyes were even with the window sill man from the uniform he wore. This might account for the display of force with which they invested the church before demanding admission. No doubt the heavy log walls looked formidable and mysterious in themoonilght. But, if they really suspected a garrison within, why should their line be thus extended, within-easy musket shot of the windows? The conclusion I arrived at was that. Fox made this open display of force in the hope of avoiding bloodshed. He desired to capture instead ;^f>. "Men/' 1 said quietly, barely lou<K»of kill,, and wished above all else to * & * • ' r ' T C I , enough to reach their ears, "1 am a f; ^, #ergeAnt in the Staunton horse artil- 4 ¾ -lery..

"Noreen, it will give us extra fighting man if you will keep an eye on Nichols, and we'll need them all. I shall be less a coward t/ I believe you out of danger." "A coward—you 1 Sea, of course. I will go." I stepped across the platform, hold' iag her arm. "Gold, the lady will watch the .prisoner; you join the others at the door." He moved off, evidently glad enough to be relieved, and I stood erect where I could gase out through the nearby window into the moonlight night without I had a moment in which to y scattered wits to- M'WkW. situation. Behind approaching horse* , ^ ^ g the pike, the gruff tone or iff otSCfilbnal voice, the clang of accoutrements. Then this noise ceased, as the head of the cavalry column came up to where Cowan and his men waited. I could barely make out the murmur of voices In explanation, muffled by the sound of approaching wheels, signifying the slower advance of the guarded wagons. I heard no orders given, yet the moonlight revealed more numerous figures in the line stretching across the open space. "Tbar's sojers out thar now, sir/' whispered the man next the window, fingering his gun nervously, "a slew of 'em. Do yer know how many they got?" "Only to guess at it—a couple of hundred altogether. I should sayenough to make it interesting." leaned forward, attracted by the " of two figures standing together tall gleam of the moon—Cowan ymond. So they were to-com* the rear attack, while Fox and infantryman remained out in protect Noreen from danger. If we were alone within the church, escape was clearly impossible, and the probability strong that no resistance would be attempted. The silence, the long wait got upon my nerves. I could see. little, and the few sounds reaching my ears conveyed no information of value. What were those fellows doing? What could cause their delay? The soldier behind me was humming softly; a foot scraped on the floor to the right; I caught the soft swish of Noreen's skirt as she changed position; the moonbeams glimmered on a lifted rifle barrel, there was all about a suppressed sound of breathing. Good Lord! would they never move! What could they possibly be doing out there? A half dozen blows rang sharp on the wood of the outer door. Not a sound answered from within, although I could feel the men straighten up and send* the sharp intake of breath, j Again the blows crashed, as if struck by the butt of a musket "Open up in there!" roared a voice, so muffled as to have no familiar £#U : ^ > £•< Kr*!K A - ' _ IB- > * * . . * ' « • . . the front "Rave you counted the fellows out there r I asked.

"Sergeant Wyatt, the lieutenant wants yer." the .whispered words swept down the. line of waiting men. and I hurried forward. Harwood was in the dark vestibule close beside the big door. "That you, Wyatt r he asked, uncertain as to my Identity. "They are after you, and have no idea anyone else is here.

Tfcat Is why I warn you—we are soldiers, not murderers," ' "What you think that bluff will work?" "Captain Fox," broke in Harwood bhjntly, bis voice nervously sharp, "1 command Troop C, Third Kentucky cavalry. This is no bluff, sir. 1 give you fifteen minutes to withdraw your men; at the expiration of that time we open fire." The surprise, the shock of this unexpected development and threat was plainly evident I heard Fox step back from the door and speak earnestly to someone; Moran swore savagely. "What force have you?" he roared, the insane question causing Harwood to laugh outright, "Come and find out," he answered mockingly. "Better go back to the other end now, sergeant" he added in lower voice, and gripped my hand. "The ball Is about to open. Where is my lady cousin?" "1 put her on guard over the prisoner. She will be out of range there, and have something to do." "And gives you another fighting man—I see. Queer duck, that preacher— a bit of a knave, to my notion, and one of the finest liars I have ever heard; he'll bear watching. Ah! our friend the major has come to his senses—look yonder! They are moving back out of range." "Ay! and concentrating a heavier body of men this way." "Of course; the first assault will be from the front Tell Wharton to spare me two or three more men, and send a couple from your end. They may make a rush from all directions, but the real fight will be here; they are going to try us out, that is certain." I walked back to my station. The line of men threatening this end of the building had been drawn aside, out of direct rifle range, and seemed to be grouped opposite each corner, and were so closely bunched together as to make any estimate of their numbers ^impossible. They were only shapeless shadows, with moonlight gleaming from their weapons, and an occasional voice breaking the ominous silence. There remained nothing to do but await their action, ready for whatever might occur. I passed along the wall from man to man, assuriug myself each was at his station, with loaded weapon,, and well-filled cartridge belt "The fight will begin In front," I whispered, unable to distinguish faces, "and no firing here until I give the word." In the darker corner where the prisoner sat motionless against the log wall, my eyes could distinguish nothing. "Noreen." "Yes," and she stood up. "Couldn't you see me?" "Not the faintest shadow. 1—I wanted to thank you tor the choice you made." "You mean my coming with you? You are glad I did?" "Yes, very glad," I said earnestly, "for you are Just as safe here, and— and I would rather have you near me. This may prove a desperate struggle; we are terribly outnumbered—and— and, well, you know, you—you trusted yourself to me—you are under my protection." There was no answer; perhaps 1 had said too much. Suddenly a volley roared out startling In the stillness— a shout of command—the sharp bark of carbines—then, a grim, threatening yelp of voices. One leap brought me to the window, with, gun barrel thrust forward across the silt The two black shadows were breaking up in1 headlong rush toward the door at the south corner. I saw figures, not faces, a gleaming of poised weapons, a huddle of leaping bodies. "Fire!" I roared, my voice rising; above the hideous din. "Give ft to them!" and pulled trigger. I have no dear knowledge of what followed—it was all so quickly over with; a mere mad moment crowded Sth vague glimpses, vaniahing and snging la the lurid light of the guns. The whole interior of the church biased and echoed, the smoke choking us with its fumes, the noise stunning our ears. I heard the choc of bullets flatteatn* against the legs, smothered oaths, the crash of ah overturned beech, a scream as shrill as a ween* aa> that made my heart leas, and Harwood's voice oelBng ovt the same word agate aad ssjata. Bsjt although I heard ad this, I barely knew n, my Eheagt* *tt« tSi frOSt Om devils we had to MB er drtve hack. PS4M ft! ment motionless, the ground dotted with the dead; then tried again. There was a roar of musketry, the crack of rifles; bullets chugged Into the logs, and came crashing through the windows. Glass showered upon us, and the man next me went over like a log; someone struck me across the face with a bloody hand, and a shot splintered the stock of my gun, numbing my arm to the shoulder. I gripped another weapon out of the stiffening fingers of the man on the floor, firing again blindly into the smoke cloud. For an Instant I could see nothing but that white vapor tinged with red and yellow flame; then some breath of air Bwept it aside, and the attackers were drifting back, running and stumbling. "Stop firing!" I cried, "they've had enough. Pass the word to those men at the door." The fight at the front held longer, yet it was scarcely five minutes when, the last gun cracked, and a strange silence took the place of that hideous uproar. For an Instant not ev«n a cry from the wounded broke the stillness, the men leaning out of the windows watching the disorganized retreat Then someone gave an exultant yell, and voice after voice caught it up, the old church echoing to the wild battle cry of the South. "Steady, men. steady!" shouted Harwood from the door of the vestibule, his voice cleaving the din like the blade of a knife. "This is only the first act. Load!" The light of the moon streamed in through the south windows, revealing the overturned benches, the moving figures along the walls, the smoke cloud drifting upward to the rafters. The lieutenant picked his way down the narrow aisle. He was bareheaded and coatless, and even in that dim light I could perceive a dark Btain. like oozing blood, on the front of his shirt. "You are wounded?" I exclaimed. "Nothing to worry over," he replied easily, his eyes laughing, "a mere touch in the shoulder, which, however, has put my left arm out of commission. Ah! fair cousin!" and he held up his hand in sudden greeting. "We who are about to die salute you." "Do not say that," she pleaded. "Surely the victory Is ours." "Ay! we win the first round, but it has cost heavily. I doubt if we have such luck again. What loss have you, Wyatt?" "Two wounded and one killed," I answered soberly. "We had Cowan's guerrillas to meet out there." "Yes, I know; the infantrymen stormed the front and the troopers peppered the side windows. Wharton has three down, while they got five of my lads. The front doors are fairly riddled. They'll consolidate next time, trust to the weight of numbers, and break through. They respect us now, but we haven't licked the fight out of them by a long chalk. I'm going to take three of your men." He whispered a word to her, some good-natured pleasantry, I thought, as he bowed over her hand as though they parted in a gay parlor; then turned laughing away, and picked his passage down the aisle, a slender, debonair figure, whistling a gay camp tune. I stared after him, scarcely able to comprehend such gay-spirited recklessness, when he stopped suddenly, and faced about. "Do what you can for your wounded, Wyatt," he called back, bis voice instantly serious, "and keep my fair cousin out of the ruck." Several figures fell in behind him as he went forward—the men he had asked for from Wharton and O'Hare— all disappearing within the blackness of the vestibule. Leaving; one man alone posted at each opening, I had the others of my small company bear the two wounded men to the farther corner, making them as comfortable as possible. The dead man was laid out on one of the benches, and then the three selected for that duty were sent te Join the lieutenant This depletion of force left me a window to defend alone against the second attack, the opening to the left of the pulpit uext to the corner In which lay the wounded men and the prisoner.

When you wake up with backache and dull misery in the kidney region it generally means you have been eating too much meat says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them like you relieve your bowels; removing all the body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue is coated, and when the weather is had jpau have rheumatic twinges.

The public is invited to sympathize with a quiet and retiring citizen who occupied a seat near the door of a crowded street car, when a masterful woman entered. Having a newspaper behind which to hide, he was fixed and subjugated by her glittering eye. He rose and offered his place to her. Seating herself—without thanking him—she exclaimed in tones that reached to the farthest end of the car: "What do you want to stand up there for? Come here and sit on my lap." "Madam," gasped the man, as his face became scarlet, "I fear I am not deserving of such an honor." "What do you mean?" shrieked the woman.

If the wbeatflelds are burned the parasite preying on the- fly will be killed. There is no danger of increasing the injury from the Hessian fly by spreading straw as a top dressinf upon the field. The top dressing of stiaaw upon the field does not furnish wmter protection to the fly. Wheat which has been infested with the jolntworm and the greater wheat strawworm in large numbers should not be spread^en the field. These insects make their presence known by the large number of white heads in the field. If there was a large camber of white heads of wheat in your field do not spread straw on the field. This infested straw, however, may be used as a top dressing on corn ground If the straw be worked into the wound early in the spring. The best method of controlling the 1 Hessian fly is to prevent the growth of volunteer wheat in summer and fall and to delay the seeding <>f the wheat until most of the flies have deposited their egg*. The best method of handling wheat ground Is to disk the stubble as quickly as possible after harvest and to plow the ground deep after the volunteer wheat starts. JJUJL-V: Liquid Manure. liquid manure is a stimulant and not a substitute for manure of a more solid character, it Is taken up by straw or other bedding materiai Solid manure on heavy soils should be applied liberally in the autumn and turned under. Liquid manure is beneficial when applied while the plants are making growth or in early stages of flowering or fruiting. Flowering plants receive the greatest benefit from liquid manure before the buds show color, vegetables whsn'aboul half grownt^Wtege^^nts wlieiJ new growth has become well advanced and fruit trees when the fruit is half developed. Plants that are to receive treatment with liquid manure should first receive an application of pure water. Liquid manure is prepared from the excrement of horses, cows, sheep, pigeons or chickens or from commercial fertilisers. The first two are generally used. For use in the parden a supply of this useful liquid can be bad by arranging a bnrrcl as shown in the illustration. The barrel is placed on a platform or table high enough to permit a pail or watering can to be set under the spigot A metal pall is pierced on the side and bottom, and the fertilizer placed In the pail, which is suspended In the barrel with rope or wire, and the barrel Is then filled with water. A bag can be used in place of the pail and: will permit of stirring somewhat by turning the bag and raising and lowering it until the water has extracted the fertilizer material, when it wUl be ready for use, first diluting the liquid with water until it is of the color of weak tea. Chicken and pigeon manure is very strong, and only a peek should be used to th1rty»two gallons of water. Always apply liquid manure directly to the root3« of the plants, being careful not to wet the foliage or flowers. Pot plants should not be treated often- •t than once A week. t "How are m getting on wttfc yo*r «otfr 'TastttatistogeteC N' SIMPLE, WHOLESOME RECIPES.

If you must have your meat every day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally, says a noted author ity who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost paralyzes the kidneys in their efforts to eipel it from the blood". They become sluggish and weaken, then you suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pain* in the back or sick headache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue coated and when the weather is bad have rheumatic twinges.

Despite his reputation as a teller of humox JUS stories and his keen appreciation of the ludlcrqus in persons and situations that bore the outward appearance of utmost dignity and funereal solemnity, the martyred president was a melancholy man. The whole course of his life had made him so. In childhood he endured the most rigorous hardship in the wilds of southern Indiana and central Illinois. His father was a sort of ne'er-do-well who somehow couldn't seem to gather any of this world's goods together. His mother was a patient, God-fearing toiler who held no hope of reward in mortal life. This mother encouraged his efforts at learning when he was a little fellow, and just when mother and son were getting to be chummy and have their times of reading aloud together she died—after only a week's illness. The son's grief was lasting. When he was twenty-two, Lincoln fell in love with little Ann Rutledge. who was wearing her heart out in grief for a faithless lover. After a time, Lincoln won little Ann's regard and they planned to marry—though he was desperately poor. Came a streak of good luck; he went to the legislature at Springfield and Bhe went to Jacksonville, 111., to a young ladies' academy. Presently Lincoln got word that she was ill. One week later she was dead. This sorrow Lincoln added to his early grief. Years later, the tall, awkward country lawyer was elected president of the United States—an honor unsurpassable. But with it came the ghastly tragedy of civil strife. And to his sorrow and his grief of old he added this load of sadness. Four years and more Lincoln plodded slowly along under the burden, a national mourner. Then through the clouds came a ray of sunshine. The war was nearing an end. The president saw peace ahead. He planned to bind a nation's wounds—North and South alike. He became happier—rather, he became less unhappy, for his spirit was expanding. But once again the glittering lance of malignant fate shot out This time it brought down the victim it had played with for half a century—A. Lincoln! The following telegram, one of the many instances of his works of mercy and compassion, was sent by Abraham Lincoln from the White House on his last birthday alive. It typifies the spirit of the man in the last days of his life and is exemplary of the attitude he took, not only towards individuals but toward the peoples and the states who were opposed in arms to the Union. "Major General Hooker, Cincinnati, Ohio; "la it Lieut Sanfuel D. Davis whose death sentence is commuted. If not done, let it be done. Is there not an associate of his also in trouble t Please answer. A. LINCOLN." The military rigors of the closing days of the war compelled harsh measures, not only in dealing with the enemy but in dealing with those within the forces of the North who were guilty of desertion, neglect or treachery, and the columns of the dally papers of the time were replete with para' graphs headed, as a rate, "Bxecotfcm at the Oonepiratms," "The 8ptas Shot" T l The famous QndUa munity Par Piate Silver ware FREE with— vl birthday, February 12, 1865, show that f at all. This message was received he was giving especial attention to these matters. In the month of Febru* curred in the house. of his papers daring the ami foitesffag ate ary alone he sent at least ten telegrams suspending or delaying executions or asking for full reports of the trials for his personal examination.' In some cases he upheld the decree of the military courts, in others he issued pardons, and it is said that in at least one case the man who had been convicted was in reality a government secret service agent unknown to the military authorities who had convicted him for the very acts he committed in the service of the Union. It has been asserted by some biographers of Lincoln that he felt premonitions of his death In the months following his second election and if this be tnre it is possible that the shadow over his soul may have caused him to be more clement than was his rule. All are agreed that he was always compassionate and slow to condemn, but he was sensible of the necessity for stern Justice and was not given to mock mercy of the weakkneed, sentimental kind. The president's birthday itself had no special significance in 1865. It is doubtful if many outside his immediate family realized when the day occurred. It would be a small percentage of Americans today who could state the date of President Wilson's birth and in the last stages of the Civil war the nation was too sorely beset by pressing, vital problems, sorrow and anxiety to recognize the birthday of the man who himself was the vortex of all the maelstrom of political, military and executive activities. It is known, however, that Lincoln's last birthday season saw the president more cheerful, more hopeful of a peace which should save the Union than he had been at any other time during the war. He had recently met commissioners of the Confederate government on a steamer at Hampton Roads and although the interview had led to nothing, the president felt that the dissension evident between the commissioners from the South meant a speedy conclusion of the conflict Nicolay and Hay, writing of the president's general feeling in February, 1865, says: "His interview with the rebel commissioners doubtless strengthened his former convictions that the rebellion was waning in enthusiasm and resources, and that the Union cause must triumph at no distant day. Secure in his renewal of four years' personal leadership and hopefully Inspirited by every sign of early victory in the war, his only thought was to shorten by generous conciliation the period of dreadful conflict His temper was not one of exultation, but of broad, patriotic charity and of keen, sensitive personal sympathy for the whole country and all its people, South as well as North. His conversation with Stephens, Hunter and Campbell had probably revealed to him glimpses of the undercurrent of their anxiety that fraternal bloodshed and the destructive ravages of war might somehow come to an end." Just before the president's birthday the house of rcpresentaUFOs paased a resolution requesting the president to ranmninirate to it each ta/Ormatkm as he might deem oomparihte with the ptfsQc Interest concerning his interview with the Ooatedersts emnmhv The pr wail sat ssmvto the) which actually board the to February 10 and a short discussion oc- Accordlng to Nicolay and Ha£: "It (the discussion) did not rise above the level of an ordinary party wrangle. The few Democrats who took part in it complained of the president for refusing an armistice, while the Republicans retorted with Jefferson Davis' conditions about the 'two countries' and the more recent declarations of his Richmond harangue, announcing his readiness to perish for independence. On the whole, botb congress and the country were gratified that the incident had called out Mr. Lincoln's renewed declaration of an unalterable resolve to maintain the Union. Patriotic hope was quickened and public confidence strengthened by noting once more his singleness of purpose and steadfastness of faith. No act of his could have formed a more fitting prelude to his second inauguration, which was now rapidly approaching, and the preliminary steps of which were at this time consummated." This feeling throughout the country and In congress was becoming evident to the president on his last birthday, so much so that he commented on it to his friends and advisers. It showed him that the nation was behind him, and that he would be supported to the completion of his work of cementing the Union. Almost in the nature of a birthday gift came the formal announcement to President Lincoln that he had been elected president of the United States. On the very day of Lincoln's birthday the first of the cotton ships Sherman had sent from Savannah put into New York and Newport, R. I. The newspapers of February 13 featured the dispatches announcing the arrival of the vessels and .commenting with favor on the prospects of getting great cargoes of cotton from the newly opened ports of the South. The dailies were also filled with dispatches telling of the progress of Grant's campaign against Lee, which was beginning so to formulate itself that Appomattox should end the war, and that Sherman had completed his march to the sea. None viewed the approach of peace with greater gratification than did Lincoln, and it waa with the spirit of this period of his last birthday upon him that he wrote his second inaugural address, which is fraught with human sympathy, so expressive of the character of the man. The sad story of the great president's death is familiar to all. That it was to follow so closely on his teat birthday, so lightened by hope and gratitude for the success of the Union cause, none could foresee, unless, as some writers declare, the president himself had forebodings of i t In all events, it is pleasant to eontemplate that the closing months of Abraham Lincoln's life were gifted with a feeling of peace which for long he had not known.

The plumage should be the standard length for the breed, lustrous and plentiful, the head bright red in color, and the comb developed to the required size. The specimen should appear In handsome dress, good physical condition, and trained to exhibit his good qualities to advantage. Careful training imparts to a bird sufficient confidence to assume and hold desired poses under show-room conditions. If possible, obtain exhibition coops similar to those used at the show you will attend. Cover the floor with short straw or a mixture of bran and straw for feathered-leg breeds. Two months before the show place the birds you intend to exhibit In the coops at night. Visit the coops as frequently as you can and handle the birds often. Carry them around under the arm, open their wings and examine the undercolor, and accustom them to every movement of the judge. It is not advisable or necessary to keep the show birds confined tn the training coops. A day at a time Is sufficient Then, allow them the run of the house tor two or three days and outdoor exercise If seasonable. All white fowls must be washed, and most fowls of other colors can be improved in appearance by washing, fluffing, and grooming before the show. For white birds have three tubs filled with (1) warm, soft or rain water; (2) warm* soft or rain water; (3) warm, soft, or rain water colored the proper shade to rinse the blue white goods. Use a bar of good white or castile soap and a large sponge and a nail brash.

Poultry keeping has two chief advantage* over any other branch or line of htock raising. In the first place much lea* time is required in getting an tnooate started from the establishment of a poultry plant and n e x t tea* space ts required for raising poultry a s compared .with the amount of land used in rearing other animala. After one y e a r , time - small Income has started from poultry while if raising any other stock it woujd take two or three years t o make the start Another thing, fowls do not require an extensive ran, nut can be placed in n limited space and give good results, althongh the nana ahonld be kept very d e a n mader this condition. In keepma; poultry under these condition* it sJeo requires lea* labor on the part of the punlUf keeper. There are lota of shanks and feet with the nail bush, soap, and water. Insert the bird in tub (1) and push it down under the water several times until the plumage is wet through; make a heavy lather with the sponge and soap, and thoroughly wash the plumage with the Bponge; open the wings and sponge them in the direction of the feathers. (In fact, always wash the length oi the feather, from the quill to the tip and not across it.) Keep the bird's head out of the soapy water if possible; sponge the Boap off the bird, and remove to tub (2). Press it under the water several times, allow it to stand and drip for a few seconds, and then dip it twice in tub (3) containing the bluing water. Remove the bird from the water, bold its legs firmly and raise it up and down quickly, so that it will flap and expand its wings and tail and shake out the water. Do not use a towel to dry a white bird. Move the exhibition coop near the fire or some heat, so that the bird will dry. Lifting up the plumage of the breast and opening the feathers of the fluff while drying has a tendency to increase the apparent size of these sections. The shanks and feet of exhibition fowls must be absolutely clean and well polished. To overcome rough scales rub the legs twice daily with a cloth dipped In* kerosene, and a short time before the show wash them thoroughly. Use a good Bcouring soap, woolen cloth, and warm rainwater.

Pain is a visitor to every name and usually it comes quite unexpeete ly. Bat you are prepared for every emergency if you keep a small battle of Sloan's Liniment handy. It la the greatest pain killer ever discovered. Simply laid on the skin— no rubbing required—It drives the pain away. It U really wonderful. Mervin H. Soister, Berkeley, Cal., writes: "Last Saturday, after tramping around the Panama Exposition with wet feet, I came homo with my neck so stiff that I couldn't turn. I applied Sloan's Liniment freely and went to bed. To my surprise, next morning the stiffness had almost disappeared, four hours after the se ond application I was a s good as new." March, 1915.

Ottawa, Ont.—A general mobilization of guards is being systematically made In Canada following fires and arrests of alleged German agents at points in western Ontario.

Several towns in western Ontario were thrown into a panic by a hurried call to arms of the hfome guards. Buglers hurried through the streets sounding the alarm, and unfounded rumors that one of the bridges had been blown up added to the excitement.

If there were any so pessimistic as to imagine that Canada was passing through a period of hard times the wonderful showing of this subscription should put aside all doubts of Canada's rapidly increasing prosperity. The bank clearings of Winnipeg for 1915 were a billion and a half of dollars. Think of it. Then, in addition, there were the bank clearings of the other cities throughout Western Canada. Regina, Saskatoon and Moose Jaw also show big increase in clearings. The Winnipeg statistics show that the city has done the biggest financial, commercial and industrial business in its history in 1915. A billion and a half are big clearings, representing business on a per capita basis of over $7,000 per head for every man. woman and child in the city, and has gone ahead of big manufacturing cities like Buffalo, and runs a close second to Detroit. It has shown bigger bank clearings than the middle west cities of Minneapolis and Duluth, and has exceeded Los Angeles, Seattle and other noted shipping centers. It is now side by side with the ten biggest cities in North America in amount of bank clearings. But because the war helped Canada recover quickly from a natural economic depression it does not follow that, at the end of the war. the country must Buffer a relapse, and straightway return to a state of inactivity and hard times. A Winnipeg paper, with a wellknown reputation for conservatism in economic matters says: Canada's undeveloped fields should prove a mighty factor after the war in adjusting the country's business from one period to another. The staggering figures of this year's crop, showing increases in production of 50 per cent over last year, give a slight idea of the future wealth stored in vast stretches of prairie plain yet untouched by the plow. The Northwest Grain-Dealers' Association on September 1 estimated that the wheat crop of the three Prairie Provinces would amount to 250,800,000 bushels. On November 10 that estimate was increased to 307.230,000 bushels. The Dominion government on September 13 estimated the Western wheat crop at 275,772,200 bushels, but on October 15 those figures were) . changed to 304,200,000 bushels. Monetary Returns for the Western Crop. And the amount of money which the; west is receiving for its grain has not yet been whofly appreciated. Up to the 10th of December the Canadian vest had received some 170 million dollars for 182 million bushels of its grain crop, of which 149 million bushels was wheat. The average price of No. 1 Northern wheat for September was 93¾ cents; for October 9sHsrcents, and for the first three weekfjgp;^w; November $1.03¾. On the 10th»^| December there was fully 120 mi""*' bushels of wheat to be marketed, would leave about 30 million bu for local consumption in the Provinces.

Now turn around!" There was no other weapon In his oelt, and It never occurred to me that he might possess another secreted in his jacket; nor did I realize the des perate hatred of me which gave him reckless courage. What to do with the fellow obsessed my mind; I possessed nothing to securely bind him with; I could not leave him free, nor had I any desire to take him along with me. He settled the problem him* -self. Suddenly, his arms above his head, his eyes on mine, he kicked viciously, the heavy shoe striking my wrist, sending the revolver I held -spinning into the grass a dozen feet away. With almost the same movement he was tugging at his jacket pocket I saw the gleam of steel, and gripped his fingers just in tinier my other hand, numbed by the blow dealt me, was, for the Instant, useless, yet I struck him with my elbow full In the face. I had no grip that would hold, yet it tangled the revolver in the folds of cloth so he could not draw, and, with a snarl of baffled rage, he tore his fingers loose, and clutched at my throat with both hands. Back and forth we swayed on the very edge of the ravine, kept from plunging down into the black depths by the intervening fringe of trees, savagely contending for the mastery. That he was a trained athlete, acquainted with every wrestler's trick, I knew in a moment, yet this gave me little fear"—for this was to be a fight no wrestling game. Strong, quick, agile as the man was. I never doubted I was his match, and, as I felt strength come back into my hand, and realized that I could clench it again, I felt coldly confident Once, twice, I drove my knuckles into his exposed face, compelling him to loosen grip, and throw up his hands in protection. And then I had him; not that as devoid of skill as a boxer— he possessed tricks of defense own to me—but his was the pronal knowledge of the West Point , while I had graduated from the h school of the camp; where he trained for points, for fancy mill- T had fought to win against desperate opponents.

If less, grotesque shadow. Blood streamed from my lacerated hand, and I bound up the wound in a neckerchief stripped from around my throat, hardly conscious of the pain, my breath steadying, my muscles growing tense. Then I bent down, and straightened the man out upturning his face to the moon. He was not dead—there was a beat to his pulse; but the gash on bis head was an ugly one; he would have a scar there while he lived. He lay like a dead man, his face ghastly, his thin, lips drawn back from his teeth, and seemingly breathless. But for that faint, barely perceptible throb of the pulse. 1 would have thought him killed. And now what? Kelly, and his followers, would not be gone long exploring the depths of the ravine—an hour at moBt would take them over every inch of i t We must have more of a start than that There were troops yonder. Fox would never worry over the disappearance of Raymond, but Moran might; and he was in command. There was a squad of horsemen out there now. beyond the corner of the church, and riding southward— they might be in search of the missing lieutenant and his three troopers. I dare not leave the fellow where he was to recover consciousness, and give an alarm, or be discovered by others. There were two things possible to do—to roll the body Into the ravine, or bear it with me. The first would be murder; the second a tax upon my physical strength which I might not withstand. Yet there was no other way, but to try the experiment. I tossed the discarded revolver Into the bushes, and struggled with the limp body ua£U, I was able to rise to my feet v&fy ja$ jttcpnscious man dangling a e j ^ a # « M t er. He was of good gsftftae'i vAayt, but I succeeded in iihigjwfreysne few yards necessary with the harden, and the* hoisted him across the saddle, head and heels dangling. The horse snort ed and circled to get away, frightened at his unusual burden, but I soothed the animal, and finally he sniffed at the man's legs, and stood still. and I lifted his head, supporting tt on my shoulder as we topped the rise. The horse shied. I caught glimpse of a shadow flitting across an open space. "Noreen!" MU it really you? I could not tell— the horse; the something across the saddle." She came forward with a swift spring, not satisfied until her band actually touched me. **Oh, 1 am so glad—you are not even h u r t r 'Not seriously; battered up a bit— Nichols?" "Yes, be Is here; there beside the tree. Tell me what has happened! What have you here? Why It is.a man," she shrank back, "a—a dead man!" "No, not dead," I hastened to explain, unbuckling the belt and lowering the still limp body to the {ground "Here, parson, don't let the horse stray. We cannot waste many minutes here; there are cavalrymen scouting the edge of the ravine yonder, and they may come as far as this. That is why I brought the fellow along—to keep him from being found. Do you recognize the face, Noreen?" It was dark and shadowy where we were and she waa compelled to bend low to distinguish the features. Her lips gave a startled, half-suppressed cry: "Why It is Lieutenant Raymond! You—you fought together? How did he come here?" "I think he suspected we might manage to escape from the church. He was more anxious to capture me than he was to fight evidently, for 1 caught no glimpse of his face during the melee. But he. and three troopers, were hidden at the edge of the woods watching where the trail comes up from the ravine." "Yes," breathlessly, "we saw them come across, just after the torches began to flare up inside the church. Then later another man rode along there." "That was Kelly; he brought word that we had got away. I was wltbia ten feet of them when they met The lieutenant swore at the news, and sent the four men down the trail to search —he offered one hundred dollars for me, dead or alive." She arose to her feet, but the darkness prevented my seeing the expression on her face. "He did! This man?" she exclaimed, the horror of the thought visible in the tone. "Why, what is It to him? I do not understand why be should exhibit such bitterness—he was CHAPTER XXIX. The Trail to Covington. As I gripped the horse's rein and turned him slowly around I beard a single shot fired in the gorge below, the sound echoing among the rocks and a spark of fire gleamed through the darkness. It was far enough away to give me little concern, yet the report must have been beard by the cav airy squad now well out in the open,, for they wheeled their horses and rode straight toward the ravine. Their course would bring them higher up, just to the rear of the church^ yet, with suspicions once aroused, 'twas likely they would patrol the banks, seeking for some passage below, Confident the distance between us was sufficient to hide my movements so long as I kept well back in the shadow of the trees. I led the horse forward, advancing as rapidly as I dared to travel, using one band to steady Raymond's body swaying across the saddle. It must have been a quarter of a mile, or more, ay where the forest spread out from the hank into a dark tangle of trees, extending half across the ridge. The winding of the ravine took me out of sight of the body of horsemen above, yet I knew they had galloped to the edge of the gorge, and were calling to whoever was below. I could hear the shouts, without catching the words, and even Imagined I distinguished a faint cry in return. By slipping the lieutenant's belt over the saddle horn, thus preventing his limp body from sliding off, I urged the animal to a sharp trot What was before ns in those dark woods was all conjecture—bat 1 possessed Infinite confidence in Noreen, The very silence, coupled with the fact that no sign of the two fugitives had. been met with along the way, convinced ma that they had safely attained the readesvoaa, and were aov there, anxiously awaiting my arrival.

Once, 1 thought, she lifted a band, and dashed a tear from her eye; and her bead sank lower, as though she would hide her face. She was evidently ashamed, regretful, unhappy; If ever she bad cared for me, even in ordinary friendship, that feeling had changed into dislike—probably into actual hatred. I seemed to feel the change; to .comprehend the growing horror with which she confronted the future. I wanted to tell her that 1 understood; that I sympathized; that 1 would never consent to stand between her and happlnesB. Ptan after plan flashed through my mind— she should be free; she should go to her own friends, and never see me again. I would arrange to drop out of her life as suddenly as I bad come into it But the impetuous words died unuttered on my pushed on through word exchanged between us, slipping and sliding along the rocky trail, following Nichols down into a black valley, and then up again to a steep, narrow ridge. All about us was the night and the silence. Then the dawn broke, the black gloom fading into gray, the clouds of fog in the deep valley below us rising slowly until the rays of the rising sun lifted them to the mountain tops, reddening the mist Into grotesque beauty, and revealing the green glades beneath. It was a wild, desolate scene, and we paused on the edge of what seemed a sheer precipice to gaze. Even Nichols stopped, and looked down, pointing to the ridge of rock along which the barely perceptible trail ran. "You'll hav' ter pick yer way mighty careful 'long thar," be said slowly.

How far away is Covington ?" " 'Bout, twenty mile—in the next valley beyond them hills." He disappeared around a sharp ledge, and Noreen and I were alone-' alone, it seemed to me, in ail the world. I dare not even look at her, as I helped her out of the saddle. Tired from the long hours of riding along the rough trail, she staggered slightly on her feet, and her hands clasped my arm. Our eyes met and !x> the depths of hers was the mist of tears. "Tom." she said earnestly, her voice faltering. "I cannot stand this any longer. I—I must know—what—what I am to yont** "To me!"

Don't Neglect Kidneys Swamp-Root,Dr. Kilmer*a Prcscrlpv tlon, OTcrcomes Kidney Trouble It is now conceded by physicians that the kidneys should have more attention as they control the other organs to a re-., markable degree and do a tremendous amount of work in removing the poisons and waste matter from trie system by filtering the blood. The kidneys should receive some as* •istance when needed. We take lean exercise, drink less water and often eat more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing, the kidneys to do more work than nature intended. Kvidenee of kidney trouble, such as lame back, annoying bladder troubles, smarting or burning, brickdust or sediment, sallow complexion, rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular heart action, warns you that your kidneys require help immediately to avoid more serious trouble.

Young Sows Should Not Be Brsd Before Eight Months of Ags. The age at which a young sow is first bred will depend upon her development, nut it is very seldom that it la advisable to breed her before she is eight months old. Many good breeders prefer not to breed sows before they are ten or even twelve months old, and if they are intended for show purposes it is scarcely advisable to breed them earlier. One of the great objections to breeding sows very early is the fact that the very young sow Is seldom able to raise a fair sized Ittcr of pigs, and if she raises only a few pigs In her first Ht> ter her mammary glands do not derelop properly, and she rarely makes Grape Chutney,—Mix two quarts of seeded grapes, two quarts of pared and chopped apples, two cupfuls it raisins, one pij^ oifUgar, one cupandSg^ H|@a9PHrlQ^Wernlght In an earthenware dish.

Is the fact that the very young sow has not the strength to stand the strain ot nursing a Jitter of pigs, and her vitality is sapped to such a degree that she never develops as she should.

The United- States- 7 of America is now in the midst of a great crisis—one of three. The first was the desperate struggle of the baby republic to maintain life between 1776 and 1815. The second was the terrific fever which rattled the bones of the half-grown nation from 1861 to 1866. The third is different The hungry, blood-mad wolves of war are snarling all about us. We are charged with the problem of taking means bf defense against the time when they may turn from their carcasses to attack us. We must Insure for ourselves prosperity. For the good of the whole we must assume the task of harmonizing all the multitude of discordant and misunderstanding groups of people that compose our body politic—men and women of a great variety of racial antecedents, of political tenets, of religious beliefs, of capital and labor, of education and Ignorance—and weld them into one great patriotic mass. We must keep friendship with rur neighbors to North and South and across the seas. So in this time of stress It behooves us to keep our national temper and deal fairly and mean what we say. It is well worth while to consider the historian Lecky's description of George Washington: "In the despondency of long continued failure, in the elation of sudden success, at times when his soldiers were deserting by hundreds, and when malignant plots were formed against his reputation, amid the constant quarrels, rivalries, and jealousies of his subordinates, in the dark hour of national ingratitude, and in the midst of the most universal and intoxicating flattery. Washington was always the same calm, wise, just and single minded man, pursuing the course which he believed to be right without fear or favor or fanaticism; equally free from the passions that spring from Interest and from the passions that spring from Imagination. "He never acted on the impulse of an absorbing or uncalculatlng enthusiasm, and he valued very highly fortune, position, and reputation; but at the command of duty he was ready to risk and sacrifice them all. "He was, in the highest sense of (he words, a gentleman and a man of honor, and he carried into public life the standard of private morals. "It was at first the constant dread of large sections of the American people that if the old government were overthrown they would fall into the hands of military adventurers and undergo the yoke of military despotism. It was mainly the transparent Integrity of the character of Washington that dispelled the fear." There has rarely been a time when the people had more need of the lessons of Washington's life than now. We are in the midst of the uncertainties visited upon us, as a people at peace, by a conflagration which has enveloped a continent in war. In a year of peace, of sowing and reaping, of the productive activities of market and factory, we suddenly foind ourselves face to face with the peril of such a panic as the world had never witnessed. Industry withered as under a blight; trade dried up at the roots; our chief export crop lost for a time two-thirds of its value; specie payments were suspended in our financial centers, instead of having heavy trade balances in our favor, we were called upon for gold by the ton to pay for securities sent back to us by foreign investors. Want and destitution appeared where there had been plenty. We have come far since those black days, but a dangerous road still stretches before us. Let as remember Washington, the commander in chief of one battle. That was Yorktown. Washington took the command of the armies of the colonies in July, 1975. He received the surrender of Cornwallis in October, 1781, s o r t than six years later. These six years were spent in avoiding battle. Ther* waa ode brilliant sortie—the battle of Trtoton. But the history of his campaigns is the history of skillful retreats, like that which followed Trenton, rear-guard actions, defensive fights when attacked, disastrous offensive movements JTks that on Garmantown. Ha had no government behind hiss —only a k>oae "Confederation of colonies; which refused to pay tbetrJevIe* and loft hiss at one time with a discouraged remnaat of only 2,ao* to*. dlers. He avoided battle with ther Bestiah; he used the sits of the Indian fighter sad sapped sen of the very Jaws of disaster; ho moved from esses to place. But fas oonst not evade has gsr. oali. ,WHU? • » ^*i':' discipline and subordination not only requires time but is a work of great difficulty and in this country, where there is so little distinction between the officers and soldiers, requires an uncommon degree of attention. To expect the same service from raw and undisciplined recruits as from the veteran soldiers is to expect what never did and perhaps never will happen.—Washington* attack. The siege of Yorktown waa a splendid thing—but the real test came at Valley Forge. When at last the hour came to fight, fighting was easy by comparison with the waiting that had preceded i t ~ On July 2, 1775, General Washington arrived at Cambridge, Maaa^ accompanied by Major General Lee, his next in command, and other officers, and established headquarters in the mansion, subsequently occupied by Longfellow. About nine o'clock on the mornUg of the following day, attended by a suitable escort, he proceeded from his headquarters to a great elm tree near Harvard college. Here the Continental forces were drawn up in military order. Under the shadow of the tree Washington drew his sword as commander in chief of the American army, declaring thaff it should never be sheathed until the liberties of his country were established. Finally the day came for Washington to take leave of his army—October 18. 1?£S. For the last time he assem bled them at Newburgh, N. Y„ when ha rode ont on the field and gave them one of those paternal addresses which so eminently characterised hia relationship with his army . But his final leave of everything connected with his military life* was taken on December a, 178V at Faunces* tavern. Now York city. Hers he had requested his officers in foil uniform to On entering the room and finding himself sarrounf by his old in arms his agitated fSethis nsnsi self-control with «T*» turned toward him FQUng a glass of win* and lifting K to Us l^ts, he rested his be* saddened said- With a heart fast of hws tads, 1 axnr take leave Of may be as ous. 1 cannot come to each of you and take my leave, but shall be obliged to you if each of yon will come and take me by the hand." A profound silence followed as the officers gaaed at the countenance of their leader, while the eyes of all were wet with tears. He then expressed again his desire that each of them should come and take his hand. One after another followed, receiving and <• returning the affectionate adieu of their commander, after which he left, the room Jn silence, followed by his officers in- procession to embark in the bery» that "was to convey him to Panlns Hosk, now Jersey City. As he was passing through the light infantry, drawn np on either side to receive him, an old soldier who was by bis side on the terrible night of his march to Trenton, stepped ont of the ranks and reached out his arms, exclaiming: "Farewell, my dear general farewell!" Washington seised his hand most heartily, when the soldiers forgot all discipline, rushed toward their chief and bathed hia with their tears. The scene wss like that of a good patriarch taking leave of his children and going on a long journey whenos he might return no morsvj - Having entered the barge, he tamed to ths Weeping company upon the wharf and, waving his bat, bads them s silent adieu.

Paris,—There are now 66,449 women in the French Red Cross volunteer army, equipping 1,500 hospitals with an aggregate of 118,000 beds. The Red Cross flag now flies over 288 buildings in Paris -alone. The Society for Aid to Wounded Soldiers, the largest of the three Red Cross organizations and the originator of the work in France in 1864, spent 32,000,000 fraca during the first 17 monthB of the war. The society has operated 796 hospitals, containing ,47,081 beds, and given a total of 21,- 000,000 days' care to wounded soldiers. Besides these hospitals, the society maintains a hospital of 500 beds at Salonlki, 93 refuges established in the sixth and twentieth military regions in France, 70 infirmaries in railroad stations and 45 railroad canteens. The mortality among the Red Cross nurses has been remarkably heavy, considering the character of their work and the immunity they are supposed to enjoy under international regulations. Twenty-two members of the society for Aid to the Wounded Soldiers have given, their lives to the cause, some of them killed under shell fire, others carried off by contagious diseases. Nurses of this society have received 63 epidemic medals, 60 war crosses and one cross of the Legion of Honor. New Strength for Lame Backs end Worn-out Condition!

There, can be no doubt that no important concessions will be made by Britain to America, even in view of the possibility of an American embargo, but every effort will be made by soft words to prevent wrath rising In the United States. If the attitude of Washington hardens if will be due to a bargain between the administration and Count von Bernstorff, does not tend to lessen the distinct bitterness which has crept into the tone of men who have hitherto expressed confidence that previous American protests to London were not intended to be taken seriously.

A SCHEME FOR FEDERAL PAY Would Increaae the National Guard Seventy Thousand in Time of Peace—Separate Branch of tf There t- a Damp, Low Spot In Vour Garden Convert It Into a Pond LUy Bed. GROWING WATER LILIES Fortunate are those having a natural pond or site where one may be easily constructed. Yet a miniature pond in the garden Is within the reach of anyone. In selecting a site, choose one. If possible, partly shaded from the noonday glare, yet having the full benefit of the morning sun. This should be prepared the fall before In order to be fully decomposed Lilies open in the morning and close at least partially during the middle of the day, hence the more they are protected from the Intense heat the more lasting will be the blossoms. It should be on low ground, the top being preferably Just below the ground level. Tf there is not a natural depression. an artificial one can easily be made, the earth removed from the pool being arranged at the proper place at the sides to make a gradual slope. It should be about two feet deep for our native lilies and lotus, but another foot must be added if you are so ambitious as to try to grow that giant beauty, Victoria Regina. Have it protected from high winds in some way; trees or shrubs serve nicely. The material used in making the pond may be concrete or brick. An outlet or an overflow pipe are essen tial. Unless the pond Is large, one must be shy of trying many varieties, as the stronger soon crowd out the weaker. If the tank with pipes Is not within reach, a beautiful effect may be obtained by sinking a tub or half barrel into the ground and placing one or two plants in i t The soil should be very rich and filled in to a depth of two-thirds. An ideal soil is made by composting barnyard manure with rich sods of a loamy nature, using in the proportion of one and two-thirds, respectively. Sprinkle a little sand over the top and fill the tank with water. With a sunny exposure during a part of the day, the plants will grow and bloom nicely. Unless one Is willing to pipe the water, it must be supplied aa needed, by filling from pails. As the plants need very little other care, this can well be afforded. ABOUT EDIBLE FLOWERS Rose leaf preserve Is made in Turkey, and carnations, lavender, syrlnga are crystallized for confections. The violet is recognized as an edible titbit almost everywhere it grows. In many parts of Europe it Is the custom to*make use of roses, violets and lime blossoms (or flavoring. A delicious orange flower candy or conserve is made of tiny bitter embryo oranges picked from the blossom's center. Sandwiches are made with nasturtiums as a filling. Nasturtiums are probably the moat-used edible flower. Its young leaves, seed pods and stems with or without the flowers form an appetizing salad and add flavor to sauces, gravies, meat dishes and sal* ads made of potatoes and herns. In England finely chopped spearmint is used in sandwiches spread with thin cheese. Another food flower is cauliflower. This Is truly a flower that Is eaten, for the snowy flowers are the unexpandad flowers of a variety of cabbage. The Mexicans and French eat the tuber of the dahlia. It is somewhat acrid and was introduced into Europe for the commercial purpose of sapplanting or supplementing the potato. The dandelion makes a wine, while the young, tender leaves make the finest kind of greens and are also delightful in salad Elderberry blossoms make a white wine, the berry makes a blue wine, while the elderblow tea was a favorite remedy of our grandmothers. is The Houseman's Aversion. "How did you know that man married r asked one woman. "Because," replied tho other, "as soon as he ^ame into the room be shied at the rubber tree." Washington—The proposals of the national guard association for federalization of the state troops were before the military committees of congress in the form of a bill drafted by representatives of the association at the request of the senate committee. The regulations contemplated are given^ force by a provision limiting participation in the federal pay feature to officers, men or organisations complying with certain specified requirements. The scale of annual pay proposed is as follows: Major-generals, $800; brigadiers, $700; colonels, 9600; lieutenant-colonels, $550; majors, 1525; captains, )500; first lieutenants, $30.0; second lieutenants, $250. Enlisted men would be paid on the basis of 25 per cent of the pay rates of the regular army, a private receiving "approximately $45 a .year. The mtximum number of troops provided for by the bill is 500 for each congressional district, or a total peace strength of approximately 200,000, an increase of 70,000 over the preaent strength of the national guard. They would form a separate branch of the regular army in time of war when called Into the federal service. The act would take effect July 1, 1916. The bill provides also for organisation of a junior guard, composed of boys between 12 and 18 available for active service only after every other class of militia had been called out. The juniors would be divided into two classes, cadets, or those of 15 and above, and cadets of the second class, those less than 15. An enlistment contract would be required under which the soldier would bind himself to serve the federal government "within or without the continental limits of the United States" for a period of two years or until discharged should the guard be called out at any time during his three year enlistment period. The entlistment period of any soldier whose time was close to expiration when his regiment was called out would b* extended automatically. It is proposed to do away with choice of officers by election, and commissions would be limited to specified classes and granted only after examinations by the war department Promotions during active service weuld be made by the president from the commissioned force or ranks of the organization, dependent upon the grade to be filled. This clause is aimed at appointments from civil life. Members of both the senate and house committee who had looked over ihe measure said it'would require radical amendment, in their opinion, before it would be acceptable to congress. It will be discussed, section by section, by the house committee which probably will frame the national guard measure to be enacted by both houses while the' senate committee works out the regular army feature of preparedness plans. MAJOR J. E. NORMOYLE. Oswego, N. Y.—Major James E. Normoyle. Third United States infantry, who was in command of Fort Ontario, died suddenly of blood poinoning. Major Normoyle was born in Michigan in 1866 and lived In Detroit several years. He served in Porto Rico, Cuba, and the Philippines. In 1913 he was given a gold medal by Pennsylvania in recognition of his services aa quarter master of the Civil War Veterans' c a m p at Gettysburg. Major Normoyle was known throughout the army and the country as the man the war department invariably called upon when the government was confronted with bringing order out of chaos in domestic situations of distress and disaster.

Y.—Local newspaper offices were advised that every edition of every American paper would first be rigidly examined by officers of the Canadian militia, acting on orders of the Dominion war department, and circulation stopped In every instance where stories were carried "detrimental to the welfare of Canada." Newspaper men who were assigned to investigate new movements of troops along the frontier were turned back at t h e bridge. ITEMS OF STATE INTEREST Lansing.—John Russell, Detroit, attorney representing the Michigan State Telephone Co., filed with the railroad commission last week a brief asking relief from the assessed valuation of its Michigan properties in the sum of $1,500,000. Last year the company was assessed by the commission at $17,000,000 on its Michigan proper ties, this year $18,500,000. The total additions made by the company, according to its sworn state meat, totaled $438,189 in 1915, and the brief recites the fact that depreciation for the same period written off the property of the company amounted to $458,55«. Attention is called to the fact that the company was forced in 1914 to withdraw $300,000 from its surplus to meet Interest obligations and pay a 6 per cent dividend to its stockholders and that even then following such appropriation there was a shortage ef $69,500. This led to suspension of dividends en its common stock after September. 1914, so that in 1915 the holders of $6,000,000 of the issues of the company received but 1 1-2 per cent income on their investment This Company paid out $272,000 of losaer in the year 1913. It has paid during the past five years 9,539 losses and a total of $435,358 to people who have had their buildings wrecked in the State of Michigan. The Company has about 40,000 members, and $86,000,000 of assessable capitaL The Company has made only six assessments in nineteen years; thirteen out of the nineteen not a single dollar collected by assessment from any member of this- Company. No assessment was made in the year 1915, and yet the Company had on hand January 1st, 1916, about $80,000 izt cash. There are about one hundred mutual companies in Michigan covering fire insurance; they save the farmers of Michigan about $1,000,000 over the cost in stock companies each year. The saving in> cyclone insurance is much greater. Because of our large membership with only one overhead expense, mutual insurance against cyclone, in our Company, on account of the low cost and efficient service,, has appealed to the farmers and business: men of every section of the State. The many cyclones and tornadoes whichhave ruined people in nearly every part of the State should be a warning to you. Insure your property whether it be in the city er country, in a safe Company.

CHAPTER 1 The Heptaderm It wee not characteristic of Broufllard— the Broulllard Grislow knew beat—that he should suffer the purely technical talk of dams and reservoirs, bed-rock anchorages, and the lateat word In concrete structural processes to languish and should drift Into personal reminiscences over their first evening campflre in the Niquola. "Aa you were saying?" Grislow^ prompted,- stretching himself luxuri' ously upon the fragrant hanking of freshly clipped spruce tips, with his feet to the blase and his hands locked under his head. He felt that Brouil lard was merely responding to the aubtle influences of time, place and encompasamehte And took no shame for being an analytical rather than a sympathetic listener. The hundred-odd men of the pioneer party, relaxing after the daylong march over the mountains, were smoking, yarning, or playing cards around the dosen or more campflres. The evening, with a half-grown moon silvering the Inverted bowl of a firmament which seemed to shut down, lidlike, upon the mountain rim of the high-walled valley, waa wltchtngly enchanting. "I waa aaylng that the present-day at sanely skeptical—aa it arrouillard went on at the fepughtful pause. "Just the man has his little atavistic streak, tf you can hit upon It For example, away back in the porringer period, In which we are all like the pin-feathered dickybirds, open-mouthed for anything anybody may drop into us someone fed me with the number seycnT'" ^. "Succulent morsel!" chuckled Grta low. "Did it agree with your* Broulllard sat back from the fire and clasped his hands over his bent knees. He was of a type rare enough to be noteworthy—a well-knit figure of a man, rather under the normal stature, but bulging athletically in the loose-fitting khaki of the engineer; dark of akin, and owning a face which might have served aa a model for a yierge etudy of a fighting frsnc-tlreur. "I dont remember how early In the game the thing began," he resumed, ignoring Grislow's Joking Interruption, •*iejt away back in the dimmest dawn* hugs the number seven began to nave • curious significance for me. Back in the pin-feather time somebody handed me a fact about the waste and replacement thai* goes on in the human organism, bringing around a complete cellular change about once in every seven years.

"Tea; and since that time you have staved your way through the university, and butted into the reclamation service, and played skittles with every other man's chances of promotion until you have come out at the top of the heap In the construction division, all of which you're much too modest to brag about. But, say; we've skipped one of the seven-year flag stations. What happened when ybn were twenty-one—or were you too busy lust then chasing the elusive engineering degree to take noticeT" Broulllard was staring out oyer the loom of the dozen campflres—out and across the valley at the massive bulk of Mount Chlgringo rising like a huge barrier dark to the skyline save for a single pinprick of yellow light fixing the position of a solitary miner's cabin half way between the valley level and the summit When he spoke again the hydrographer had been given time to shave another pipe charge of tobacco from his pocket plug and to fill and light the brier. "When I was twenty-one my father died, and"*-he stopped short and then went on in a tone which waa more than half apologetic—"I don't mind telling, Orislow; you're not the kind to pass it on where it would hurt At twenty-one I was left with a back load that I am carrying to this good day; that I will probably go on carrying through life." Grislow walked around the fire, kicked two or three of the charred log ends into the blase, and growled when the resulting smoke rose up to choke and blind him. "Forget it Victor/' he said. "In less than a hundredth part of that time youll be at the top of the reclamation service pay roll—wont that help^utr "No; not appreciably." Grislow gave It up at that and went back to the original contention. "We're dodging the main issue," he said. "What la the active principle of your 'sevens'—or haven't you figured it outr "Change," was the prompt rejoinder; "always something different— radically different" "And what started you off into the memory woods, particularly tonight?" "Coincidences. It began with that hopelessly unreliable little clock that Anson persists In carrying around with him wherever he goes. While you Broulllard Was Staring Out Over the Loom of the Camp Fires. were op on the hill cutting your spruce tips Anson wont over to bis lent and lighted up, and a few minutes afterward I heard the clock strike seven. Just aa I was oomfortabty forgetting the slamlncamt reminder {he clock went off agate, striking stowiy. as If the mechanism were nearly i r onerfed Grislow. -No; It struck tour." "WeQ^ was the bantering Us littls tin sjod-of a timepiece. R*s a habit of Ws.- 1 -was curious enough to go and look. When 1 lifted the flap the test The dock wss ticking "Don't you? It was only another ot the coincidences, of course. While 1 stood staring at the clock Anson came in with Griffith's tool kit 'I've got to tinker her again,' he said. She's got so she keeps Pacific time with one band and eastern with the other.' Then I understood that he had been tinkering with It and bad merely gone over to Griffith's tent for the tools." "Well," said Grislow again, "what of it? The clock struck seven, you say; but it also struck four." Broulllard'a smile tilted his curling mustaches to the sardonic angle, "The combination was what called the turn, Grissy. Today happens to be my twenty-eighth birthday—the end of the fourth cycle of seven." "By George!" ejaculated the hydrographer in mock perturbation, sitting up so suddenly that he dropped his pipe into the ashes of the fire, "In that case, according to what seems to be the well-established custom, something is due to fall in right now!" "I have been looking for it all day," returned Broulllard calmly. It was Murray Grislow who finally rang the curtain call on the prolonged talk, "Say, man! do you know that ft is after ten o'clock?" he demanded, holding the face of his watch down to the glow of the dying embers. "You may sit here all night if you like, but it's me for the blankets. Now, what In the name of a guilty conscience la that?" As it chanced, they were both facing toward the lower end of the valley when the apparition flashed into view. In the deepest of the shadows at the mouth of the gorge, where the torrenting Niquola straightened Itself momentarily before entering upon its plunging race through the mountain barrier a beam of white light flickered unsteadily for a fraction of a second. Then It became a luminous pencil to trace a slgxag line up the winding course of the river, serosa to the foothill spur where the camp of the reclamation service vanguard waa pitched, and so on around to the base of the Chlgringo. For certain other secoods It remained quiescent glowing bale- ' fully like the eye of some fabled monster searching for Its prey. Then it was gone. Grislow's comment took the form of a half-startled exclamation. "By Jove! wouldn't that give you a fit of the creeples?—this far from civilisation and a dynamo? What are you calling it?" "Your guess is as good as mine," was the half-absent reply. Broulllard had got upon his feet and was buttoning his .many-pocketed shooting coat "I'm going to take a little hike down yonder for investigation purposes. Want to come along r But the mapper of watersheds was yawning sleepily. "Not on your tintype," he refused. Tm going to 'cork it orf In me 'ammick,'" It was only a abort mile from the camp on the Inward slopes of the eastern foothills to the month of the outlet gorge, across which Broulllard could already see, in mental prevision, the great gray wail ot the projected Niquola dam—his future work—curving majestically from the broken shoulder of Chlgringo to the opposing steeps ot Jack's mountain. The half-grown jnoon, tilting now toward the skyline of the western barrier, was leaving the canyon portal in deepest gloom. Picking his way Judiciously because the trail was new to him. Broulllard came In due time to the descending path among the spruces and scrub pines leading to the westenfootlcok upon the desert swales and sandhills. At the canyon portal, whore the forest thinned away and left him standing at the head ot the final descending plunge In the trail, he found himself looking down upon the explanation of the curious apparition. None the less, what he saw was to ttsetf rather inexplicable. Is the first desert looping of the river a campflre of pinyon knots was bhutng cheerfully, and beside It with a picnic hamper for a table, sat s supper party <l threetwo men sad a woman—in enveloping dust-coats, and a third man In ohanffeur leather serving the sfttors. Back of the group* uud with its detachable searchlight ntfastag, stool a huge touring car to account for the picnic has* par, the dust-costs, the mas hi leather, and, doubtless, tor thwapparitfoaal eye which had appeared sad dluappaurei at tho moot* of the) upper suras It soimuhtd hi for tho presssca of the peoalch ers, though the) whim which them to cross the desolate Bucks** tor tho 4 » ing an all-night bivouac on Its eastern edge was not so readily apparent The young engineer saw no reason why he should intrude upon the group at the cheerful campfire. On the coo trary, he began speedily to find good and sufficient reasons why he should not That the real restraining motive was a sudden attack of desert shyness he would not have admitted But the fact remained. Four years In the reclamation service had made the good looking young chief of construction a man-queller of quality. But each year of Isolation had done something toward weakening the social ties A loosened pebble turned the scale. When a bit of the coarse-grained sand stone of the trail rolled under Broulllard 's foot and went clattering down to plunge Into the stream the man in the chauffeur leather reached for the searchlight lantern and directed Its i>eam upon the canyon portaL But by that time Broulllard had sought the shelter of the scrub pines and was retracing his steps up the shoulder of the mountain. Broulllard was not what the West calls "Jumpy." Four years of field work, government or other, count for something; and the man who has proved powder-shy In any stage of his grapple with the Land of Short Notice is customarily a dead man. In Bpite of his training, however, the young chief of construction, making an early morning exploration ot the site for the new dam. winced handsomely when the shock of a distance-muffled explosion trembled upon the crisp morning air, coming, as it seemed, from some point near the lower end of the canyon. The detonating crash reminded blm forcibly that the presence of the touring party was asserting itself. The explosion was too heavy to figure as a gunshot. Therefore it must have been an accident of some sort—possibly the blowing up of the automobile. Between this and a hurried weighting of the sheaf of blueprints with his fleldglass preparatory to a first-aid dash down the outlet gorge, there was no appreciable interval But when he came to his outlook halting place of the night before, he saw that there had been no accident The big touring car. yellow with the dust of the Buckskin, stood Intact on the sand fiat Where it had been backed and turned and headed toward the desert Wading in the shallows of the river with a linen dust robe for a seine, the two younger men of the party were gathering the choicest of the dead mountain trout with which the eddy was thickly dotted. Coming toward him on the upward trail, and climbing laboriously to gain the easier path among the pines, were the two remaining members of the party—an elderly, pudgy, stockUy built man with a gray face, stiff gray mustaches and sandy-gray eyea to match, and the young woman, booted, gauntleted, veiled, and bulked Into shapelessness by her touring coat Broulllard had a sudden rush of blood to the anger cells when he realised that the alarm which had brought him two hard-breathing miles out ot his way had been the discharge ot a stick of dynamite thrown into the Niquola tor the fish-killing purpose. In his cods the dynamiting ot a stream figured as a high crime. But the two on the traH had come up. and bis protest wss forestalled by the elderly man with the gray face and the sandy-gray eyes, whose explosive "Hal** waa as much a measure of his breathlessnesa as of his surprise.

The Liquor Dealers circulate fnl-e statements iu regard to prohibition in Kansas- The state regi «strar, W. J. Deacon showed that the death rate in Kansas was ouly y.8 to 1.000. When asked the reason T?hy, this was among the a reasons given. "Kansas is a prohibi tion Mate and has been for a generation, and in Kansas, prohibition really prohibits. I do not mean by this there is no alcohol consumed in the state, but the absence of the giloou means much to our growing boy8 and young men, who, in the absenos of any bar room, find more healthful pastimes than loafing in an alcohol ladened atmospere. "Another and more important fact concerning prohibition it that tbe wage of the laborer or mechanic is not dissipated, hot goes to supply those necessities of food, clothing and boosing moat essential to the well being of their families and themselves," M. E. S. and ove" in the air. Another thing that will seem peculiar | to most people is the action of gravity J on a bullet If a gun bo fired exactly \ horizontally the bullet will have to be i pulled down by gravity exactly sixteen » feet during the first second. So if there ] were no sights on a gun and it was levele by means of a hand level and fired the bullet would hit something exactly sixteen feet below the gun at a distance away equal to the velocity of the bullet t>er second. \ No matter what the bullet's velocity, j gravity will pull it down sixteen feet during the first second* or If the bullet be tired upward gravity will take from its upward velocity thirty-two feet during the first second. The bullet itself kt.. its uxis alwsys in tho direction ihe axis bad when the bullet Issued from the gun. This is the well known gyroscopic principle made use of in the gyroscopic compass and the monorail car—that a rotating body will maintain its axis of rotation in the same direction unless a moment of force be applied to i t But what actually happens with (he modern high powered rifle? Docs It shoot a bullet that goes in sideways? To n slight extent it may be stated that the modern anny bullet docs do that very thing:.' Its velocity, however, is so enormous that the gun barrel docs not have to bo elevated through so large nn angle, and consequently the bullet enters fairly on its noso, though not squarely so, at all ordinary ranges. The same may be said of the bigger guns. They have rifling in them and so give rotation and gyroscopic net Ion I to tho projectiles. Hul a mortar d . os ! not A mortar sinot* sumc-iliinc,' ;il- I most straight up in the air and lets it J fall down. As the mortar is too short ! barreled to bo rifled the top of the $ro, ! jectile would hit a target a long distance away, but for a shot almost j straight up in the air to fall right down ! of course the bottom of the projectile | would strike first. The mortar projec- J tiles are generally round, so that it will ! not matter how they strike. | The reason a bullet cannot be made 1 so that it will always enter a target squarely on its nose is that for every rango a fltfferently shaired bullet would have to be manufactured; also the bullet should be symmetrical, so that the air will exert -no disturbing influence on its distorted parts. A bullet has a distinct curve like that j of a baseball, due to its rotntlon, and ' this curve is independent of the parab-' ola given by gravity. The smoother i and more polished a bullet is the less • is this curve. But the action of the ] rifling in a gun barrel puts little j grooves in the bullet as it goes through j the barrel. These catch the air as the bullet rotates and causes the curve spoken of. If the bullet be rotated in the direction of the hands of a clock the curve will make the bullet go to the left of the exact point aimed a t The effect is so small, however, that it does not have to be taken Into account in the manufacture of rifles and ammunition. —Xew York American. **»gTW7 Vs«r Is a TitnA. •for Sale Every where" M e r Picile CoBtrato Contracts for growing encmnber pickle for the season of 1916 may now be had from o o r repre* SHQtative N .

In a bulletin of the United States department of agriculture writen to suggest to the corn belt farmer of the middle West some ways of ''cashing in" the scientific advice offered him in hundreds of bulletins already published, Carl Vrooman, assistant secretary of the department, devotes a section to the discussion of the best rotations. "Not until you get clover or some other legume into your scheme of farming/' he says, "do you have a rotation that pays dividends in bigger crops. Many fanners think they are keeping up to date and farming scientifically if they have five or ten acres in alfalfa and get a stand of clover on a twenty or thirty-acre field once in two or three years. This is a serious mistake. The productivity of a farm is not being kept up on a permanent basis unless annually at least onefourth of that farm Is made to grow legumes, which are either plowed under as stable manure or green manure." The corn-oats system becomes effective when a year of clover is added and the rotation runs corn, oats, clover. In sections where oats do not produce good yields wheat may be substituted. The Importance of including clover In the rotation, however, has been definitely established by a long aeries of experiments carried on in Illinois. As far back as 1879 two rotations were started, one being corn and oats and the other corn, oats and clover. These rotations were continued without change. During the years from 1901 to 1911 the average yield of corn in the Excellent Field of Corn. former was only 28.1 bushels per acre, while in the latter it was 57.2. What is known as "standard Illinois rotation" Is the following: Corn, oats with clover seeding, clover, wheat In TREATMENT OF POTATO SEED Solution of Commercial Formalin and Water Will Destroy Disease Spores of Tubers. Potato diseases such as fusarium, stem rot and scab, live over winter on the aeed and In the soil. Planting infected aeed In diseased soil simply perpetuates tne disease. The way to prevent aeab la to disinfect seed potatoes and plant them In clean soil upon which the crop has not been grown for several yean preceding. Thorough treatment with a eolation of one plat commercial formalin to 46 gallons water will destroy disease spores. ^ Corrosive sublimate also can ha need. Dissolve four ounces ta nVe gallons hot water and after It cools add 15 gallons water. Soak the tubers for one and a half hoars In this solution, when they may he eat and planted. thiB rotation one of the chief advantages is that wheat follows the legume and there is thus plenty of time to prepare the ground for it. it 1B becoming also a general practice in some parts of the corn belt to seed sweet clover In Stand of 8weet Clover. wheat. After the wheat Is harvested the clover makes a rank growth and may be plowed under in the fall or following spring. In this way in each four-year rotation there are two legume crops to plow under and at the same time three grain crops to harvest The rotation may be changed to a five-year one by adding an extra year of corn if this is desired. If the farm is badly run down and much organic matter and nitrogen must be added to the soil before the corn can be raised profitably, sweet clover seeded in the wheat may be el* lowed to stand over for a crop the following year. The rotation will then be as follows: Corn, oats with clover seeding, clover, wheat with sweet clover seeding, sweet clover. If a short rotation 1B desired, one that will be effective in building up a run-down farm is the following: Corn, rye with clover and timothy seeding, clover and timothy. The rye la seeded in the standing corn and the clover and timothy seeded in the rye early In the following spring. The rye. is hogged off and, as the clover matures^ part of it Is used for hog pasture and part for hay. The clover-timothy sod is then turned under for corn. Under this plan all the rye grown is left where it is produced and all the cornstalks cut up and worked into the soil. Fur» ^ cracked corn, |33; corn and oat More thaa a bast at dirt a s * eutts is freezes*!? tssjs* s» a ear etjaata- ^ ^ ^ "& - .SET • thermore, all the manure made by the hogs in gathering the rye and corn is left in the field. Leg Bends Are Cheap. Leg bands are very cheap. When yon tort out your pullets band the right leg; next year hand the left leg and the third year do not band. The fourth year dispose of hens with band on right leg and begin over by banding right leg. Or get celluloid bands, using different colors for eac year. This is better than toe mark lng young chicks.

SOME EASILY-MADE BEDS By EBEN E. REX FORD. Personally, I am not much of an admirer of carpet or ribbon bedding or the "designs" which the enthusiastic amateur gardener attempts, but is pretty' sure to abenddgf M a r «&> the season, because he signs work oat annuals. The fact la, carpet befclnfc are not only effective when such foliage blasts, as the codas, archyranthat, centurea, pyrethrum and alternanthera are used, because they can be kept within their proper limits by shearing and pruning, while the annuals have too much sprawl to be tract* able, aad very lew kinds give a sunV demt mass of blooms to produce the deaired color effect. We are likely to think that because a plant has yellow, red or blue flowers, that it wffl prove effective wher* ever these colors are desired, but we k » e sight of the fatft that the flowers win he t o few to aenber-and so far apart that there la eesdom any soHd color effect sweh aa la necessary In preperry working out patterns. This being the case, oaty the si** pier designs should be attempted with aanaaia, aad only sweh effects aimed at, as can be produced by contrast in plays an important factory, though the tall-growing sorte could be used in three rows, one each of the colors named, with the dwarfs as an edging or border, with very good results. Asters can be planted in rows of white and lavender, with very pleasing results, provided the same kind is UBed in each row. Ribbon beds would become monotonously tiresome If we were to confine ourselves to them, therefore it la advisable to have something else for a change. Next to them the circular bed is easiest to make. I would not advise too many colors. Have the center of one color—say lavender, if asters are used, then a row of pale pink with white in the outside row. This arrangement of colors can be varied to suit individual taste. If sweet alyssum or white candytuft is used as an edging, the effect is heightened, as these plants bring a mass of foliage and bloom down to the ground, and hide the tall sulks of the aBters. A very brilliant combination is made by filling the center of a circular bed wi^h ealliopsis, and the softer shade of the same color In the phlox is charming. If another color seems advisable, use pink phlox. This harmonizes beautifully with the stronger tones of the ealliopsis. The center of a circular bed can be filled with scartet salvia, with nasturtiums as a border. The contrast between the fiery scarlet and the rich tones of yellow and orange and sulphur found In the latter plant, is exceedingly lovely, while the pea-green foliage of the nasturtium affords just the right amount of that color to bring Into strong relief the blossoms of both plants. Such a bed anyone can make with very little trouble. mjmmw TREES H I . VA» MBJThtUVtfst.

A- 'T;- -UP The understanding of sofl is the principal thing to be considered in tree cultivation. Crops, climates aad conditions are so utterly different in the different localities of our country that a set of conditions is a problem ell by Itself. When the sofl is tf eU-worked around the trees of say kind, they are more thrifty aad vigorous. A great many people stir ap the earth between the trees, bat leave the soil directly beneath the trees untouched. This is a mistake. Do act hesitate to apply fertiliser, commercial or barnyard, dose around the trees. Allow a generous supply aad see that It gets a chance to sink Into the sofl deep. Year trees win have a different pearance if this care is driven th la the heavier soils it is a fatal mistake to let the soil bake about the trees or 'vines. This results in an unhealthy condition of the bark, and often a fatal disease. for the finest development of year trees the soil most be brought to the highest point of thorough cultivation aad kept there. * WARE OF BRER RABBIT Hungry rabbits will dare a deal to get at aewly set •rees and wffl venture fej*r elese te the aeose- i s eacet of food.

SPY WHO BOASTS OF HIS GETAWAY OBJECTED TO PROCEEDINGS Confessed German Spy Caught In New York; May Be Returned to the British Government. Norfolk.Va.—Lieutenant Berg, captor and commander of the British liner Appam defied the authority of the United States officials Saturday when Deputy West boarded the liner with a libel process to serve on the German commander. When Deputy West and his party reached the Appam, the ladder was up. The deputy directed that it be lowered and the party went aboard. West stated his mission and was taken to Lieutenant Berg's quarters. The latter at once objected to the proceedings. "If I had known you were the United States marshal/' he said, "I would not have allowed you aboard." The personal process was served, and the deputy then started to tack the usual libel notice on the mast of the vessel. The German commander objected strenuously. "The ship is In charge of Collector Hamilton," he said, "and you have no right here." Lieutenant Berg then left the Appam hurriedly and went to Newport News to telephone. When he returned Deputy West had tacked on the mast of the ship the slip of white paper which certified that the Appam had been seized by order of the United States district court at Norfolk. Lieutenant Berg directed his men to tear it down. Deputy West commanded him not to touch the notice and it remained on the mast Confessed Spy Captured. * New York—Ignatius Timothy Trebitsch Lincoln, self-vaunted international spy who escaped from the federal authorities on January 15, last, and tfcen wrote letters to a newspaper, Staffing the department of justice, we* caught at Broadway and Thirtieth street.

New York—Ignatius T. T. Lincoln, former member of the British parliament and self-confesBed Germany spy, who escaped from a restaurant in Brooklyn where he had been taken by a United States marshal, was captured Saturday night. He congratulated the police for their work in arresting him. "Good work," he exclaimed. "I didn't think you could do it." REPAIRS ARE BADLY NEEDED An Emergency Appropriation of $2,- 757,000 Asked for Mending 8hlp*. Washington—Department of justice officials say that Ignatius T. T. Lin coin probably would be turned over as soon as possible to British agents for removal to England to face charges pending against him there. No charges are pending against him in this country and none are contemplated, but officials have not concealed their concern that he be recaptured and removed from the country. Washington—A $2,757,000 emergency appropriation for immediate necessary repairs of machinery in battleships, torpedo destroyers and submarines, to increase the supply of mines and, for the first time, to equip battleships with anti-aircraft guns, was aked of congress by Secretary Daniels. "Many of our destroyers have reached an age where renewals of extensive portions of their machinery equipment is necessary. The same is true of submarines, both classes of vessels making a big drain on this year's appropriation." The boilers of the battleships Georgia and Virginia, both of which have been in almost constant service for 10 years, have shown much weakness, as to require that these veeeels be withdrawn from active service to have their boilers replaced. In addition the Virginia has recently broken an important part of her machinery which must be renewed, and the long stay of the fleet in Mexican waters last year also caused an unusual repair bill. London—Four German seaplanes made a raid over the east and southeast coast of England, The total casualties are given as two men and one boy killed, and one marine wounded. Considerable material damage was done. The first raiders, two biplanes, appeared over Lowestoft at 10:55 a. m. and circled over the south side of the town for five minutes and dropped bombs. In about five minutes they rose to great night and seemingly vanished. At 11:10 a. m., the two seaplanes were again over the town and then vanished eastward again. Altogether 17 small high-explosive bomb* were dropped. There were no casualties. Meanwhile, two other German seaplanes were making for the Kentish coast The first passed over the Kentish Knock light veaael, dropping bombs in that vicinity at 11:20 a. m. The last raider made straight for Walmer. Reaching that town at 11:27 a. m., flying at less than 2,500 feet, it dropped six bombs and turned sharply to the east. Two of the bombs destroyed roofs and broke windows in the neighborhood. One of them, fell close to a church, blowing in the" windows as the congregation was singing the "te deum." A third bomb fell on a roadway running along the bench, killing one civilian and injuring one marine. U. S. SKINNED FOR MILLIONS General Goethals' Report On Land Purchases Is Startling. PASS NICARAGUAN TREATY U. 8. to Pay Three Million for Canal Rights and Naval Base. Washington—The senate by a vote of 55 to IS ratified the long pending and perslstentnly opposed Nlcaraguan treaty, whereby the United States would acquire a 99-year option on the Nicaraguan canal route and a naval base in the Gulf of Fonseca for 23.000,- 000. Included in the ratification resolution was a provision declaring that the United States, in obtaining the naval base, does not intend to violate any existing rights in the Fonseca gulf of Costa Rica. Honduras and Salvador, which had protested against the proposed acquirement as a breach of international faith. SOME FISHERY LAWS CHANGE Mr. Sweet Talks On the Subject of U. S. Control.

Michigan, suggests that the several states ought voluntarily to transfer complete jurisdiction and authority over the matter of fisheries to the federal government. The opinion of Mr. Sweet is that vastly greater efficiency will be received together with decreased violation of law. "Where there is a variance between the laws of contiguous states," Mr. Sweet says, "as there almost always is, the fishermen in actual practice drop to the level of the least scientific and leaat protective laws. The enforcement of state laws by state wardens is frequently so inefficient that if the matter were not one of the most serious importance it would be considered a joke. They are too well acquainted with the law breakers and too friendly. They sometimes are themselves law breakers." Washington—The suppressed report of Maj.-Gen. George W. Goethals, dealing with the Panama land frauds, whereby the United States will pay $18,000,000 for land worth $1,000,000, was placed in the possession of the house canals committee. In the bold language of a soldier who resented his government's being "robbed," Gen. Goethals set forth that "most summary representations' 'to the Panama republic would be justified by the "robbery" of the United States. He very flatly charged that "palpable perjury" and "scandal" have marked the land awards of the joint land commission. This report, covering the last fiscal year, was suppressed for international reasons as the result of an agreement between the state and war departments.

' . : • * • „ . - . • • . - ' ^ - n ' - L jr, Results following Settlement Show That Conditions to West em Canada Are Highly ' Satisfactory- Until a few years ago Mr. Henry Lohmann lived at Effingham, 111. He thought he would better his condition. In a new country, where he would have wider scope for-'his farming operations, it would not seem essential to refer to Mr. Lohmann, at this particular time, as of .German blood, but for the fact that so many false statements have gone out a s to ill treatment of Germans in Canada. Writing from Willmont, Sask., under date of January 30, 1916, Mr. Lohr mann sayB: "We are perfectly satisfied in this country, and doing well up here. t "I bought a half section of land and took up a homestead, my three sons also took homesteads, two of them buying each 160 acres of land as well. I sold my homestead, and I and one of my sons own a threshing outfit. "The crop this year was good; the oats went 80 to 90 bushels per acre, and wheat went 40 to 50 bushels and the price is fair." Sam Morrow, of Millet Alta., inwriting to Mr. J. M. MacLachlan, Canadian government agent at Watertown, 8. D., says: "I am well pleased with the country. The climate is better than I ever thought it could be so far north; Ideal climate for stock. I have some colts and cattle that have . not been inside of a stable in four years. I consider this a fine country for mixed farming.. I know of farmera around here who had 42 bushels of barley to the acre and 55 bushels of oats to the acre." Jacob Goetz of Piapot, Sask., had 4fc acres of wheat from which he got 1,200 bushels, and got an average of 93 bushels of oats to the acre. Golden Prairie, Sask., is a district largely settled by South Dakotans. Horace Blake is one of those. He says: "The crops of 1915 were immense." Wheat in his locality went from 40 to 55 bushels per acre; oats about 80 bushels on an average. One hundred bushels of potatoes were grown on a quarter of an acre of land; twelve potatoes weighed 30 pounds. His horses run out all winter, and come in fat. He raised excellent corn, and fattened hogs on it. He concludes an Interested letter by saying: "There are schools in every district, t h e people hero are most all hustlers and are fast pushing to the front. When I first came up here on almost every half section stood a little 12x14 shack, now almost everyone haajeal modern houses and barns." Some Southern Alberta yields for 1915: I. H.

And than: "You're one of the reclamation engineers? Great work the government is undertaking here. Vou are connected with It, arent you?" Broulllard's nod waa for the man. but his words were for the young woman whose beauty refused to be quenched by the touring handicap*. "Yet, I am in charge of It." he said, "Ha!" said the stout man, and this time the exclamation waa purely approbative. "Chief engineer, eh? That's fine, fine! My name is Cortwright— J. Wesley Cortwright of Chicago. And yours is—?" Broulllard named himself in one word. 8trangers usually found him bluntly unresponsive to anything like effusiveness, but he was finding it curiously difficult to resist the goodnatured heartiness which seemed to exude from the talkative gentleman, overlaying him like the honeydew on the leaves In a droughty forest If Mr. J. Wesley Cortwright's surprise on hearing the Broulllard surname was not genuine it was at least Went imitation. well, well—you don't say! the BrouiUards of Knox county, i?—but, of course, you must be." ,* said Broulllard. "Our branch of the family settled near Vlncennes, and my father was on the bench, when he wasn't In politics." "What? Not Juage Antolne! Why, my dear young man! Do you know that I once had. the pleasure of introducing your good father to my bankers In Chicago? It was years ago, at a time when he waa Interested in floating a bond issue for some growing industry down on the Wabash. And^to think that away out here in this howling wilderness, a thousand miles from nowhere, as you might say, I should meet his son!" Broulllard laughed and fell headlong into the pit of triteness. T h e world isn't so very big whan you come to surround i t properly, Mr. Cortwright," he asserted, "You are wondering what fool notion chased ua away out here in the desert when we had a comfortable hotel to stop at," ha rattled on. I'll tell you. Mr. Broulllard—in confidence). It waa curiosity—raw, country curiosity. The papers and magazines have been full of this buckskin reclamation scheme, and we wanted to see the place where all the wonderful miracles were going to gat themselves wrought out Have you got time to *put ua next?*" Broulllard, aa the son of the man who had bean introduced to the Chicago money gods In his hour of need, could scarcely do leas than to take the time. The project, ha explained, contemplated the building of a high dam across the upper ~end of the Nlquete canyon and the converting of the Inland valley above into a great storage reservoir. From this reservoir a aeries of distributing canals would lead the water out upon the arid lands of the Buckskin and the miracle would ha a other pit of triteness and pis saving first Impressions of Mr. J. Wesley Cortwright's character began to fade. I'm immensely Interested," was Miss Cortwright's comment on the outlining of the reclamation project "Do you mean to say that real farms witk green things growing on them can be made out of that frightful desert wa drove over yesterday afternoon f* „ Broulllard smiled and plunged fatuously. - "Oh. yes; the farms are already there. Nature made them, you know; she merely forgot to arrange for their watering." He waa going on to tell about the exhaustive experiments the department of agriculture experts had been making upon the Buckskin soils when the gentleman whose name had>once figured upon countless thousands of lard packages cut in. "Mr. Broulllard, how far la it up to where you are going to build your dam?" "I'll be glad to show you the way if you care to try," Broulllard offered; and the tentative invitation was promptly accepted. The transfer of viewpoints from the lower end of the canyon to the upper was effected without incident aave at its beginning, when the father would have called down to the young man who had waded ashore and waa drying himself before the campfire. "Van Bruce .won't care to go," the daughter hastened to say; and Broulllard, whose gift it waa to he able to pick out and Identify the human derelict at long range, understood perfectly well the reason for the young woman's hasty Interruption. One result of the successfully marketed lard packages was very plainly evident in the dissipated face and hangdog attitude of the marketer's son. Conversation flagged on the climb from the Buckskin level to that of the reservoir valley; but when they reached the pine tree of the anchored blueprints at the upper portal, air. Cortwright recovered his breath sufficiently to gasp his appreciation of the prospect and its possibilities. "Why, good goodness, Mr. Broulllard, It's practically all done for you I" he wheesed, taking in the level, mountain- inclosed valley with an appralslve eye-sweep. ^What will you do?—build your dam right here and take out your canal through the canyon? Is that the plan?" Broulllard nodded and went a little further into details, showing how the inward-arching harrier would be anchored into the two opposing mountain buttresses. "And the structure itself—how high Is it to be?" "Two hundred feet above the spill way apron foot; concrete and steel." "Then you are going to need Portland cement—a whole lot of It Where will you get it? And how will you get It herer Broulllard smiled Inwardly at the pork packer's suddenly awakened interest in the technical ways and means. His four years in the desert had taken him out of touch with a money-making world, and this momentary contact with one of its successful devotees waa Illuminating, the P!Ct : * » . » * • "Sure, aura!" said the cheerful 1st feeling Ten the pocketa of the tomobile coat for a cigar.

Thau his eye lighted upon the graybeard. dump of a solitary mine high up on the face of Mount Chi gringo, ."What's that up there?" he demanded. "It it a mine," saidrSroulllard. showing Miss Oertwrfgbt how to adjust the fleldglaas for the shorter distance. "Two men named Maaslngale, father and son, are working i t I'm told." And then again to Miss Genevieve: "That is their cabin—on the trail a little to the right of the tunnel opening" "I see it quite plainly," she returned. T w o people are Just leaving it to ride down the path—a man and a woman. I think, though the woman—if it 1B a woman—is riding on a man's saddle." Broulllard'a eyebrows went up in s little arch of surprise. Harding, the topographical engineer who had made all the preliminary surveys and bad spent the better part of the former summer in the Nlquoia, had reported on the Maastngalea, father and son, end his report had conveyed a hint of possible antagonism on the part of the mine owners to the government project But there had been no mention of a woman. "The Maaslngale mine, eh?" broke in the appraiser of values crisply. "They showed us some ore specimens from that property while we were stopping over in Red Butte. It's r i c h - good and plenty rich—if they have the quantity. And somebody told me they had the quantity, too; only it was too far from the railroad—couldn't jackfreight it profitably over the Timanyonis." "In which case it is one of many," Broulllard said, taking refuge In the generalities. But Mr. Cortwright was not to be so easily diverted from the pointed particulars— the particulars having to do with the pursuit of the market trail. "I'm beginning to get my feet on bottom, Broulllard," he said, dropping the courtesy prefix and shoving bis fat hands deep into the pockets of the dust-coat "There's a business proposition here, and it looks mighty good to me. I tell you, I can smell money in this valley of yours—scads of it" Broulllard laughed. "It is only tbe fragrance of future reclamation-service appropriations," he suggested. "There will be a good bit of money spent'here before the Buckskin desert gets its maiden wetting." "I don't mean that at all," was the impatient rejoinder, you: you are going to tion of some sort That's the basis. Then you're going to need cement, lumber and steeL It can be manufactured right here on the spot" "The cement end the lumber can be produced here, but not the steel," Broulllard corrected. "That's where you're off," snapped the millionaire. "There are fine ore beds la the Hophraa and a pretty good quality of coking coal Ten or twelve miles of a narrow-gauge railroad would dump the pig metal into the upper end of your valley, and there you are. With a small reduction plant you could tell the big steel people to go hang." "Unquestionably. But this Is a case of cant-help-it," Broulllard argued. "You couldn't begin to interest private capital in any of those industries you speak o f "Why notr was the curt demand. "Because when the dam Is completed and the spillway gates are closed, the NlQoyastcadJe and everything in it will go down under two hundred feet of water." "The—what?" queried Miss Cortwright "The NlqoyastcadJe — Tlaoe-wherethey- came-up'" said Broulllard, elucidating for her. "That la the Navajo name for this valley. Our map makers shortened it to 'Nlquoia' and the cowmen of the Buckskin foothills have cut that to 'Nick-wire.'" This bit of explanatory place lore waa entirely loot upon Mr. J. Wesley Cortwright He waa chewing the ends of his abort mustaches and scowling thoughtfully out upon the possible site of the future Industrial city of the plain. "Say, Broulllard," he cut in, "you gat mo the right to build that power dam. and giro ma the contracta for what material you'd rather buy than make, and HI be switched if I dout take a abet at this drowning proposition my •alt I tall yon.

"Well have to be straggling hack to the chug-wagon. Much obliged to you* Mr. Broulllard. Will you come down and see us off?" At the final descent in tbe trail, with the Buckskin blankneases showing hotly beyond the curtaining plots, they passed at a step from romance to the crude realities. The realities were basing themselves upon the advent of two newcomers, riding down the Chlgringo trail to the ford which had been the scene of the fish slaughtering; a sunburnt young man in goatskin "chaps," flannel shirt and a flapping Stetson, and a girl whose face reminded Broulllard of one of the Madonnas, whose name and painter he strove vainly to recall. Ten seconds farther along the borses of the pair were sniffing suspiciously at the automobile, and the young man under the flapping hat was telling Van Bruce Cortwright what be thought of cartridge fishermen in general, and of this present cartridge fisherman in particular. "Which the same, being translated into Buckskin English, hollers like/ this," he concluded. "Don't you tots any more fish ca'tridges into this here reservation; not no more, whatsoever. Who says so? Well if anybody should ask, you might say it waa Tig Smith, foreman o' the Tri'-Ctrc* outfit No, 1 ain't no game warden, but what I say goes as'she lays. Saves?" Broulllard walked his companion down to the car and helped he"r to a seat in the tonneau. 8he repaid him with a nod and a smile, and when he saw that the crudities were not troubling her he stepped aside and un consciously fell to comparing the two —the girl on horseback and bis walking mate of tbe canyon passage. They had little enough in common. apart from their descent from Eve, he decided—and the decision itself was subconscious. The millionaire's daugh ter was a warm blonde, beautiful, queenly, a finished product of civilization and high-priced culture; a worn an of the world. And the girl on horseback? A rather slight figure, a face winsome, masses of copper-brown hair. eyes . . . He caught himself wondering if her cowboy lover—he had already Jumped to the sentimental conclusion—had ever been able to look into those steadfast eyes and trifle with the truth. When the fish-slaughtering matter was finally settled—not by the tender of money that Mr. Cortwright had made—the man Smith and bis pretty riding mate galloped through the ford and disappeared among the barren hills. "Au revolr, Mr. Broulllard," said the princess, as the big car righted itself for the southward flight Into the desert "If I were you I shouldn't fall in love with the calm-eyed goddess who rides like a man. Mr. Tri'-Circ' Smith might object you know." There was something almost heartwarming In the bit of parting badinage; but the warmth might have given place to a disconcerting chill if he could have heard Mr. J Wesley Cortwright's remark to his seat companion. "He isn't going to be the dead easy mark I hoped to find in the son of the old bankrupt hair-sputter, Genie, glrL But hell come down and hook himself all right if the bait is well covered T** with his particular Don't you forget it" brand of sugar. ( 1 CHAPTER IV Sands of Pactoha 8J] If Victor Broulllard had been disposed to speculate curiously upon the possibilities suggested by Mr. J. Weeley Cortwright on the occasion of the capitalist's brief visit to the Nlquoia, there was little leisure for It Fairly confronting his problem, Broulllard did not find himself hampered by departmental Inertia. While be waa rapidly organising his force for the constructive attack, the equipment and preliminary material for the upbundV teg of the great dam were piling up by the trainload on the sidetracks at Queaado, and at once the man and beast killing task of rushing the excavating outfit of machinery, teema, scrapers, rock-drilling Installation*, steam shovels, and the like, over die War Arrow trail waa begun.

TAKE A GLASS OF SALTS WHEN BLADDER BOTHERS Harmless to Flush Kidneys snd Neutralize Irritating Acids—Splendid for the 8ystem. Kidney and Bladder weakness result from uric acid, says a noted authority. The kidneys filter this add from the blood and pass It on to the bladder, where tt often remains to Irritate and inflame, causing a burning, scalding sensation, or setting up an irritation at the neck of the bladder, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night The sufferer is in constant dread, the water paeees sometimes with a scalding sensatfcni and is very profuse; again, there te difficulty in avoiding it. Bladder weakness, most folks call it, because they can't control urination. While it is extremely ejnegftsg and sometimes very painful, thflS II really one of the most simple' to overcome. Get about four of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast, continue this for two or three days. This will neutralize the acids In the urine so tt no longer is a source of irritation to the bladder and urinary organs which than act normally again. Jad Salts is Inexpensive, harmless, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with Uthia, and is used by thousands of folks who are subject to urinary disorders caused by uric acid Irritation. Jad Salts la splendid for kidneys and causes no bad effects whatever. Here you have a pleasant, effervescent llthia-water drink, which quickly relieves bladder trouble.—Adv. Gambling.

MARINE COMMANDERS HAVE RECEIVED ORDERS. WON OUT ON HIS SUBMARINE POLICY GOES INTO EFFECT TUESDAY Armed Ships Are Not Peaceful Traders, and Are Subject to Destruction Without Warning. ton t* % » & Washington—Germany has instructed Count van Bernstorff to inform the United States government that the assurances regarding the future conduct of submarine warfare given in the Lusitania and Arabic cases still are binding, but that they apply only to merchantmen of peaceful character. The German government is understood to contend that armed merchantmen, without regard to the nature of their armament have shown themselves not to be peaceful, and therefore are subject to destruction without warning. The instruction direct the German ambassador particularly to tell Secretary Lansing that British merchantmen armed ostensibly only for defense have not assumed the character of peaceful traders, but that on the contrary they carry gums for the especial purpose of attacking German submarines. To support this claim the Berlin foreign office has sent the ambassador for presentation to the state department, a list of at least 20 incidents where it is claimed British merchant ships have attacked submarines. Confidential advices received from Berlin state that German and Austrian submarine commanders have already been given their new orders and that from midnight Tuesday, they will be authorized to sink without J warning all armed merchant ships of the enemies of Germany.

Imports still are increasing, the total for January being $184,192,299, a gain of more than $12,000,000 over December. Nearly 74 per cent of the imports were free of duty, indicating increased imports of raw materials and decreased imports of manufactured European goods. For the seven months ended with January the exports totaled $2,181,- 312,312,322, or 64 per cent higher than for the same period a year ago, and 40 per cent higher tbsn the former best record made in 1912 13.

This was in distinct contrast to the simplicity of the cotton party a year ago. Favors for the men were black ailk Waldemar chains, bearing the M. A. C. monogram iu silver, and the ladles were given silver vanity cases engraved with their initials. A 12-piece orchestra from Detroit furnished the music. Miss Florence Walsh, of Buffalo, N. Y., and C. C. Hood, president of the Junior class, led the grand march. Patrons of the evening included Gov. ernor and Mrs. W. N. Ferris and acting President and Mrs. F. S. Kediie, of M. A. C. The decorations were done in pink and green, banks of flowers and greenery being used to work out the color scheme. At intervals on the dance floor were half columns supporting small statues, which held In each hand illuminated rose globes and represented "The Spirit of the Dance." From the ceiling were suspended inverted floral domes, festooned with pink Japanese roping, in the dining-room red-shaded candles and red tulips formed the foundation of the decorations. Dover—The-steamship Maloja, a 12,- 431-ton vessel belonging to the Peninsular & Oriental line, struck a mine and sank within half an hour two miles off Dover. More than 40 persons were drowned or killed as a result of the accident. The bodiets landed from the Maloja include 18 men, 11 women and four children, in addition to 11 Lascars. Among the dead is Mrs. Mc- Leod, wife of General McLeod. The left Tilbury for Bombay, with mail, 119 passengers of all classes aboard and a crew numbering about 200. most of them Lascars. Other passengers were to join the ship at Marseilles. The steamer had juat passed Admiralty j>ier at Dover and was-, opposite Shakespeare cliff, when an explosion shook her from end to end. She listed immediately to port. High seas were running and the captain, realizing that great damage had been done to the after part of his vessel, tried to run her aground, but the engine room was swamped and the ship became unmanagaeable. The plight of the vessel was observed and dozens of craft went at full speed to her rescue. One of them, the British tanker Empress, of Fort William, of 2,181 tons, struck another mine and sank nearby. Aboard the Maloja everything possible was done to get the passengers and crew off. All the boats had already been swung out before she struck, as a precaution against accident, and all those aboard had sufficient time to put on lifeboats, instruction in the use of which had been given the pervious evening. lump from Bed in Morning and Drink Hot Water Telia why everyone should drink hot water each morning before breakfast.

Detroit—The peace expedition sent to Europe on board the Oscar II. cost Henry Ford $400,000, according to Gaston Plaintiff, financial manager for the peace ship cruise. Tips to the amount of $26,000 were given by the members of the expedition, and Henry Ford achieved the distinction of paying the greatest hotel bill ever paid by an individual when he gave $160,- 000 to the hotel keepers of Chris tiania, Stockholm, Copenhagen and The Hague for the accommodation of his guests.

If we all would practice inside-bathing, what a gratifying change would take place. Instead of thousands of half-sick, anaemic-looking souls with pasty, muddy complexions we should see crowds of happy, healthy, rosycheeked people everywhere. The reason is that th® human system does not rid Itself each day of all the waste which it accumulates under our present mode Of living. For every ounce of food and. drink taken into the system nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out, else it ferments and forms ptomaine-like poisons which are absorbed into the blood. Just as necessary as it is to clean the ashes from the furnace each day, before the fire will burn bright and hot, so we must each morning clear the inside organs of the previous day's accumulation of indigestible waste and body toxins. Men and women, whether sick or well, are advised to drink each morning, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it, as a harmless means of washing out of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the indigestible material, waste, sour bile and toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal befote putting more food into the stomach. Millions of -people who had their turn at constipation, bilious attacks, acid stomach, nervous days and sleepless nights have become real cranks about the morning inside-bath. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will not cost much from your druggist or at the store, but is sufficient to demonstrate to anyone, its cleansing, sweetening and freshening effect upon the system.—Ady.

Do you believe there la as much grafting going on among our government officials, Including congressmen, as muckraking critics have frequently charged? Who's to blame in this story? CHAPTER IV—Continued. During the weeks which followed, the same trail, and a little later that from the Navajo reservation on the south, were strung with antlike processions of laborers pouring Into the shut-in valley at the foot of Mount Chlgrlngo. Almost as if by magic a populous camp of tents, shelter shacks and Indian tepees sprang up In the level bed-bottom of the future lake; campflres gave place to mess kitchens; the commissary became a busy department store stocked with everything that thrifty or thriftless labor might wish to purchase; and daily the great foundation scorings in the buttressing shoulders of Jack's mountain and Chlgrlngo grew deeper and wider. It was after the huge task of foundation digging was well under way and the work of constructing the small power dam in the upper canyon bad been begun that the young chief of construction, busy with a thousand details, had his first forcible reminder of the continued existence of Mr. J Wesley Cortwright It came in the form of a communication from Washington, forwarded by special post-rider service from Quesado, and it called a halt upon the upriver power project. In accordance with its settled policy, the reclamation service would refrain, in the Niquola as elsewhere, from entering into com petition with private citizens; would do nothing to discourage the Invest meat of private capital A company had been formed to take over the power production and to establish a plant for the manufacture of cement, and Brouillard was instructed to gov ern himself accordingly. For his in formation, the department letter writer went on to say. it was to be understood that the company was duly organized under the provisions of an act of congress; that it had bound itself to furnish power and materia) at prices satisfactory to the service; and that the relations between it and the government field-staff on the ground were to be entirely friendly "It's a graft—a pull-down with a profit in It for some bunch of money leeches a little higher up!" was the young chief's angry comment when he had given Orlslow the letter to read. "Without knowing any more of the details than that letter gives. I'd be willing to bet a month's pay that this Is the fine Italian hand Of Mr. J. Wesley Cortwright!" Grislow's eyebrows went dp In doubtful interrogation. "Ought I to know the gentleman?" he queried mildly. "1 don't seem to recall the name." "No. you don't know him. It was his motor party that was camping at the Buckskin ford the night we broke in here—the night when we saw the searchlight." "And you met him? 1 thought you told me you merely went down and took a look—didn't butt in?" "1 didn't—that night But the next morning they wanted to see the val ley. and I showed them the way in. Cortwright is the multimillionaire pork packer of Chicago, and he went up Into the air like a lunatic over the moneymaktng chances there were to be In this Job. I didn't nay much attention to his chortlings at the time. It didn't seem remotely credible that anybody with real money to invest would plant it la the bottom of the Nlquoia reservoir." "But now yon think be la going to make his bluff good?" T h a t looks very much like ft," amid Brouillard sourly, pointing to the letter from Washington T h a t achats* Is going to change the whole faoa of nature fa* its ap bare, Orlslow. It will speU trouble right f^w to* »W^'c 'em out and bury 'em, so tar as we are concerned." "That par} of it is all right, of course; but it won't end there; not by a hundred miles. Jobson says in that letter that the relations have got to be friendly! I'll bet anything you like that I'll have to go and read the riot act to those people before they've been twenty-four hours on their Job I" Grislow- was trying the point of his mapping pen on his thumb naiL "Carious that this particular fly should drop Into your pot of ointment on your birthday, wasn't it?" he remarked. "0 suffering Jehu!" gritted Brouillard ragefully. "Are you never going to forget that senseless bit of twaddle?" "You're not giving me a chance to forget it," said the mapmaker soberly. "You told me that night that the seven-year characteristic was change; and you're a changed man, Victor, If ever there was one. Moreover, it began that very night—or the next morning." Brouillard laughed. "All of which is bad enough, you'd say, Murray; but it Isn't the worst of it I've Just run up against another thing that is threatening to raise merry hell in this valley." "I know," said the hydrographer slowly. "You've been having a seance with Steve Massingale. Leshlngton told me about it/' "What did he tell you?" Brouillard demanded half angrily. "Oh, nothing much; nothing to make you hot at him. He said he gathered the notion that the young sorehead was trying to bully you." "He was," was the brittle admission. "See here, Grlzzy." The thing to be seen was a small buckskin bag which, when opened, gave up a paper packet folded like a medicine powder. The paper contained a spoonful of dust and pellets of metal of a dull yellow luster. The hydrographer drew a long breath and fingered the nuggets. "Gold—placer gold!" be exclaimed, and Brouillard nodded and went on to tell how he had come by the bag and its contents. "Massingale had an ax to grind, of course. You may remember that Harding talked loosely about the Massingale opposition to the building of the dam. There was nothing in it. The opposition was purely personal, and it was directed against Harding himself, with Amy Massingale for the exciting cause." "That girl?—the elemental brute!" Grislow broke in warmly. He knew the miner's daughter fairly well by this time, and, in common with every man on the staff, not excepting the staff's chief, would have fought for her in any cause. Brouillard nodded. "I don't knot* what Harding did. but Smith, the Triangle- Circle foreman, tells me that Steve was on the warpath; he told Harding when he left last summer, that if he ever came back to Nlquoia, he'd come to stay—and stay dead." "1 never did like Harding any too well" was the hydrographer's definitive comment and Brouillard went back to the matter of the morning's seance and its golden outcome. T h a t is only s little side issue. Steve Massingale came to me this morning with a proposal that was about as cold-blooded as a slap In the face. Naturally, for good business reasons of their own, the Massingales want to see the railroad built over War Arrow pass into the Nlquoia, (n some way Steve has found out that 1 stand pretty well with President Ford and the Pacific Southwestern people. His first break was to offer to Incorporate the 'Little Susan' and to give me a block of the stock if I'd pull Ford's leg on the extension proposition." "Well?" queried Grislow. "Exactly You can imagine what 1 -told him. Then he began to bully and pcl!*d the club on me." Again Grislow's smile was Jocose. "Well, when I turned him down, young Massingale began to bluster and to say that I'd have to boost the railroad deal whether I wanted to or n o t 1 told hrm ho couldn't prove H. and he said he would show me, tf I'd take halt an hoar's walk np the valley, with him.

MajaloJrifeJsssssPW1* panful of Use bar to wash o j f t i t S M B . 1 aid it. sad there hi that pa per. That bar Is comparatively nco placer dirt." "Good Lord I" ejaculated the mapmaker. "Comparatively rich, you say? —and you washed this spoonful out of a single pan?" "Keep your head," said Brouillard coolly. "Massingale explained that 1 had happened to make a ten-strike; that the bar wasn't any such bonanza as that first result would Indicate. I proved that too, by washing some more of It without getting any more than a tew 'colors.' But the fact remains: it's placer ground." It was at this point that the larger aspect of the fact launched iueif upon the hydrographer. "A gold strike!" he gasped. "And we—we're planning to drown it urfder two hundred feet ¾f a lake!" Brouillard'8 laugh was harsh. "Don't let the fever get hold of you, Grislow. Don't forget that we are here to carry out the plans of the reclamation service—which are more farreaching and of a good bit greater consequence than a dozen plater mines. Massingale drove the peg down good and hard. If I would jump in and pull every possible string to hurry the railroad over the range, and keep on pulling them, the secret of the placer bar would remain, a secret Otherwise he, Stephen Massingale, would give It away, publish it. advertise It to the world. You know what that would mean for us, Murray." "My Lord! I should say so! We'd have Boomtown-on-the-pike right now. with all the variational Every white man In the camp would chuck his Job in the hollow half of a minute and go to gravel washing!" "That's it precisely," Brouillard acquiesced gloomily. "Massingale is a young tough, but he is shrewd enough, when he is sober. He had me dead to rights, and he knew I t 'You don't want any gold camp starting up here in the bottom of your reservoir,' he said; and 1 had to admit i t " Grislow had found a magnifying glass In the drawer of the mapping table, and he was holding it in focus over the small collection of grain gold and nuggets. In the midst of the eager examination he looked up suddenly to say: "Hold on a minute. Why is Steve proposing to give this thing away? Why Isn't he working the bar himself?" "He explained that phase of it, after a fashion—said that placer mining was always more or less of a gamble, and that they had a sure thing of it in the 'Little Susan.' Of course, if the thing had to be given away he and his father would avail themselves of their rights as discoverers and take their chance with the crowd for the sake of the ready money they might get out of It Otherwise they'd be content to let It alone and stick to their legitimate business, which is quartz mining." "And to do that successfully they've got to have the railroad. How did you settle it finally?" "He told me to take a week or two and think about it." Grislow was biting the end of his penholder thoughtfully. "What are you going to do about 1t Victor?" he asked at length. "We can't stand for any more chaos than the gods have already doped out for us. can we?" Brouillard took another long minute at the office window before he said: "**What would you do if you were In my place, Murray?" But at this the mapmaker put up his hands as If to ward off a blow. "No, you don't!" he laughed. "1 refuse to be that kind of a fool But Til venture a Bmall prophecy: The golden secret will leak out And after that the deluge." A Fire of Little Sticks Two days after the arrival of the letter from Washington announcing the approaching invasion of private capital, Broulllard. returning from a horseback trip to the Buckskin, where Anson and Griffith were setting grade stakes for the canal diggers, found a visitor awaiting him in the camp headquarters office. One glance at the thick-bodied, heavy-faced man chewing an extinct cigar while he made himself comfortable in the only approach to a loung tng chair that the office afforded was sufficient to awaken an alert antagonism. The big man Introduced him self without taking the trouble to get out of his chair. "My name is Hosford. and I represent the Nlquoia Improvement company as its manager and resident engineer," said the lounger, shifting the dead cigar from one corner of his hard-bitted mouth to the other. "You're Billiard, the government man. I take i t r "Broulllard, If you please," was tho crisp correction. And then with a en*acement of tho final saving of bospijattty la tone or maooar: What can we do tor you, fcjr. Hoe- «or*r , "A good many things, first and last, t o two og^a*t*;days ahead of say out*. a a f p l p H p put me op eose* woere uuui l get a camp of my own You ve got some sort of an engineers' mess. I take it?" "We have," said Broulllard brl&Ay. 'You'll make yourself at home with as, of course," he added, and he tried to say it without making it sound too much like a challenge. "All right; t»o much for that part of it." said the Belf-invited gueat "Now for the business end of the deal—why don't you sit down?" Brouillard planted himself behind his desk and began to fill his blackened office pipe, coldly refusing Hosford's tender of a cigar. "You were speaking of the business matter." he suggested bluntly. "Yes. I'd like to go over your plans for the power dam In the upper canyon. If they look good to me I'll adopt them." "1 am very far from wishing to quarrel with anybody," said Brouillard. but his tone belied the words. "At the same time, if you think we are going to do your engineering work, or any part of it. for you. you are pretty severely mistaken. Our own Job is fully big enough to keep us busy." "You're off," said the big man coolly. "Somebody haa bungled in giving you the dope. You want to keep your job, don't you?" "That is neither here nor there. What we are discussing at present is the department's attitude toward your enterprise. 1 shall be exceeding my Instructions if 1 make that attitude friendly to the detriment of my own work." The new resident manager sat back in his chair and chewed his cigar reflectively, staring up at the log beaming of the office ceiling. "You're just like all the other government men I've ever had to do business with, Brouillard; pig-headed, obstinate, blind as bats to their own interests. 1 didn't especially want to begin by knocking you into line, but I guess it'll have to be done. I guess the best way to get you is to send a little wire to Washington. How does that strike you?" "I haven't the slightest Interest in what you may do or fail to do." said Brouillard. "But you have made the plans for this power plant, haven't you?" "Yes; and they are the property of the department. If you want them I'll turn them over to you upon a proper order from headquarters." "That's a little more like It. Where did you say I'd find your wire office?" Broulllard gave the information, and as Hosford went out Grislow came in and took his place at the mapping table. "Glad you got back In time to save my life," he remarked pointedly, with a shy glance at -his chief. "He's been plowing furrows up and down my little potato patch all day." "Humph! Digging for Information. 1 suppose?" grunted Brouillard. "Just that; and he's been getting It, too. Not out of me, particularly, but out of everybody. Also, he was willing to impart a little. We're in tor the time of our lives, Victor." "I know It," was the crabbed rejoin der. "You don't know the tenth part oi i t " asserted the hydrographer slowly. "It's a modest name, 'The Niquola Improvement company,' but It is going to be like charity—covering a multitude of sins. Do you know what that plank-faced organizer has got up his sleeve? He is going to build as a neat up-to-date little city right here in the middle of our midst If I hadn't made him believe that 1 was only a draftsman, he would have had me out with a transit running the lines fox the streets." "A city?—in this reservoir bottom? I guess n o t He was only stringing you to kill time, Grizzy." "Don't you fool yourself!" ex claimed the mapmaker. "He's got the plans in his grip. We're going to be on a little reservation set apart for as by the grace of God and the kind ness of those promoters. The remainder of the valley is laid off into cute little squares and streets, with every thing named and numbered, ready to be listed in the brokers' offices. You may not be aware of i t but this palatial office building of ours fronts on Chlgrlngo avenue." "Stuff!" said Broulllard. "What has all this bubble blowing got to do with the building of a temporary dam and the setting up of a couple of cement kilns?" Grislow laid his pen aside and whirled around on his working stool "Don't you make any e*jy-go1ng mistake, Victor." he said earnestly. "The cement and power proposition is only a side issue. These new people are going to take over the sawmills. open up quarries, build a stub railroad to the Hophra mines, grade a practicable stage road over the range to Queaado. aad put on a fast-mule freight line to servo until the railroad builds In.

To get botb pleasure and profit from a garden one does not need a large variety of flowers and vegetables. I do the planting and much of the work on a plot of about one acre. The products include asters, dahlias, strawberries, tomatoes, celery, lettuce, string beans, etc. March is none too soon to commence shaping one's plans for the garden. A good catalogue from some reliable seedman is necessary. The winter months are the time to study and plan out your scheme of garden. My experience has been that it is a mistake to try too many varieties of vegetables. Of peas, tomatoes and cabbage, select two varieties, one early, the other late. Of all the other vegetables 1 find one variety suffices. Order your seeds early, for by the middle of March one can begin operations by sowing tomato, cabbage and celery seeds in boxes filled with earth. Cigar boxes make a good receptacle for starting plants. They are deep enough and a good size to stand on the window sill. Two hundred plants can be started in one box. The early cabbage and tomato should be planted first. If you are going to try celery it should be among the first started. Do not cover the seed too deep. Follow the direction on the package as to depth. Do not get discouraged about results, as celery seed germinates very slowly. Keep the top of the earth always moist, and do not look for plants until the third week. When they do show, give plenty of light so that they will not be spindling. This also applies to cabbage and tomatoes. All of them will grow long, thread-like stems, which will be too weak to support themselves, unless given plenty of sunlight. The celery plants can remairi in the cigar box much longer than any of the other plants that I have suggested for house planting. They grow slowly. The tomatoes and cabbage will soon need larger quarters. As soon as the fourth leaf is under way, they should be planted into flats. Mine are about two feet square and three inches deep. I nailed them up myself, and any other woman with a few boards, a saw and a hammer, can do as much. Once made, they will be good for several seasons. Do not fill with earth to the top. By the time the plants are transplanted in the flats there will be many days when they can be placed outside for a few hours. This should be done whenever possible. Bulbs plunged in ashes should be ready to bring to the windoT by this time. Sow mignonettes In pots for early spring flowering. Mend the walks about the house and garden, and If the fences need it, repair them. Later the spring rush o/ work will prevent this.

Your liver Is Clogged Up Tlsftsf * W W Y W i e —HeveNe WAITING FOR THE END OF THE WAR "Then Take Advantage of the Opportunities in Canada." (Contributed by W. J. White, of the pepartment of the Interior* Ottawa, Canada.) I strolled into a bank in one of the cities of the west a short time ago and the bank manager said "after the war, the Canadians should be prepared for a great influx of people. The crops that the western Canadian farms have produced in 1915, and the wealth that the farmers have had thrust upon them by the high price of grain, will make farm lands valuable and farming remunerative. After the wax is over there will be tbouands go to Canada to engage in agriculture and many other Industrie* that will certainly prove profitable. Conditions will be wonderfully good. The advertising that Canada has had during the last year or two by ita magnificent contribution of over 250,000 men to flfht for the Empire, the wonderful sums it has given to the Red Cross and Patriotic funds, the excellent showing it made in subscribing over double) when only 50 millions of dollars was asked as a war loan, the bravery, courage and hardihood of the soldiers who have fought the battles in Flanders, it is just wonderful," and my enthusiastic banker grew eloquent. One might have thought he was a subsidized booster for Canada. "But," he said, "they won't go until after the wrar." "Well, now, Mr. , why wait until after the war? If all you say be true, and you have said nothing yet of the wonderful bank clearings of Canada today, nothing of the fact that the immense grain crop of Western Canada this year has given to every man, woman and child in that country, over three hundred dollars per head, why wait until after the war? After the war, under such conditions as you have pictured (and which are real) land values will go up, prices will increase. Advantage should be taken of the low prices at which these agricultural lands can be had today. They have not increased any as yet, and excellent farm lands can be had close to railways In- old settlements, In excellent communities for from fifteen to thirty dollars per acre. The climate Is good and will be no better after the war." "What about conscription, though? Is there not a danger from conscription, and should I advise any to go there now, would they not have to face it? Then, too, there is the report that there is a heavy war tax on lands." I was surprised to learn that these old yarns, stories that I thought had been exploded long ago, wore still doing duty In many parts of the United States, and that a gentleman of the wide learning of my friend, was inclined to believe them. "Conscription!" I said. "With Canada contributing 250,00.0 men voluntarily enlisted, why conscription? There is no conscription In Canada, and neither will there be. It Is not needed. In any case no legislation could be passed by the Dominion Parliament which would impose military service upon people who are not citizens of Canada, either by birth or naturalization. Settlers from the United States could not become naturalized British subjects until they had resided In Canada continuously for three years." I quoted from official documents. "Tn the first few months of the war I clearly stated that there would not be conscription In Canada I report that statement today." "And then as to taxes." I continued, quoting again from official authority. "All taxes levied by the Federal Government take the Indirect form of customs excise and inland revenue du> ties. It iri untrue that banners are paying direct war-tax levies and no intending settler need hesitate to come to Canada on this account. "Official denials should convince yon that all apprehensions which have been making some would-be-settlers from the United States hesitate to make a change while the war lasts are without foundation- With those misunderstandtngs cleared up, the present war conditions, even become an added inducement to settlement in amy part of the provinces of western Canada, inasmuch a t war prices and keen demands for an manner of farm prodocta afford the farmer a special opportunity to make money." I was glad of the chance and plowed to have b i n state that his views had altogether changed. I could have oontinaed, and told him of the tm times that had been made in the sense* of i f l i , eat of Wetftim Adds to the Attractiveness of the Haefte Place U s * Thrifty Via**, oats per acre from their farm at Wain* wrlght and from 60 acres of wheat field they threshed over 80 bushels per acre. These yields, while phenomenal, were repeated In many portions of western Canada. It was Interesting to> inform him that the average yiel^ spring wheat in Sackatchewan £5.10 bushels per acre; Manitoba, bushels; in Alberta, 36.16 bus and over the three provinces there was a total average of over 30 bushels per acre. "The immense crop that has-just been harvested has put millions of dollars in the hands of the farmers, and the work of distribution through the regular channels of trade has already begun. Millions of bushels of grain are still in the hands of the farmers, which means that there is a vast store of realizable wealth that will be steadily going into circulation, benefitting the thousands who are depedent indirectly on the basic industry of the province for their livelihood. "The mock prosperity that rested on the insecure foundation of inflated real estate values has passed away, and in its place the corner stone of the country's sound financial future is being built. "The trust and mortgage companies, the large implement concerns and the wholesale merchants all tell the same story today of marked improvement in their business. The farmers and others are meeting their just dues and paying off debts that in many cases have been long overdue. Collections are better today than they have been since the most prosperous days of our history, and obligations are being met freely and promptly. "Now," 1 said, "why should they wait until the war is over?" And he agreed with me.—Advertisement. THIN PERSONS LIVE LONGEST As Age Advances Investigations Show Danger From Overweight Is increased. Recent investigations show that the longest life and best health are not to be found among those of average build at any particular age On the contrary, it Is discovered that in those at the younger age who are slightly overweight and at the older ages among those who are distinctly underweight the longest life and best health will be found. Overweight is, above thirty-odd years, a definite disadvantage to health. It means staleness, lack of elasticity, clogged up tissues, and lack of the power of adaptability to invading germs, says London Ideas. Men from twenty to twenty-four can be accepted as healthy and for a long life fifty to sixty pounds above normal. Less excess weight is permissible between t* snty-flve and fifty and increasingly less as you go up. There are one-third more deaths among men between sixty-five and eighty who are fifty pounds to sixty pounds fatter than they should be for a given height At the ages of thirty-four to fortyfive from thirty-five pounds to fortyfive pounds heavier weight than a man should b*> double his risk of death. For anyone above thirty-five who Is thirty pounds too obese life Insurance companies hereafter will consider poor risks or raise their insurance rates. In Place of Gossip. "Conversation classes" are the fad of the moment. At a conversation class, of course, you learn to converse; and the women who attend are deslr* ous of reviving real conversation at the expense of mere talking. The members of the class meet in one another's drawing rooms, sometimes without a teacher or "director of conversation," and one of the first things improved upon the audience Is that intelligent listening is as mnch of an art as brilliant talking. When there* is no teacher, little groups of women meet and agree upon certain topics of conversation, about which each member informs herself. One woman tn the class is appointed to rule out interruptions and irrelevant rex and keep each talker to a time This is interesting to all the mei of the class, and certainly more recommended than the gossip to women are? given.

Washington.—If preparedness legislation goes through, as at present It is planned, it is probable the regular army will be increased by the addition of between 40,000 and 50,000 men. It seems likely that congress will provide that aa large a part of the Increase as possible shall be put into the field artillery, for it is established that field guns, that is light artillery, are the all-in-all of the present war, a fact that army men say was proved before the conflict was a month old. Winfleld Scott Hancock once said that the tariff was a'local issue, and for saying it was laughed at and voted into retirement. The developments of the years, many men hold, have vindicated Hancock's words. John M. Schofleld, major general of the United States army, foresaw the coming of the sharp need of greatly increased numbers of field guns if wars were to be won. He was abused and charged with a desire to help the artillery branch of the service at the expense of sister branches. There are few regular army officers today who are unwilling to give General Schofleld credit for hard sense and keen foresight. Field guns Vre doing the work in Europe today, and field guns, at the present time, mean something more than three-inch rifles and the smaller weapons by courtesy called cannon. Siege guns have become field guns. Heavy artillery also can be moved, laboriously it is true, but nevertheless successfully, from one point to another. Artillery seems to be the prime weapon of modern warfare. Artillery First Requisite. Army officers in Washington are alive to the situation. They want a well-balanced army, of course, and they will resent any attempt to cut down other branches to increase the artillery, but rather than weaken the force of artillery they probably will be willing that sacrifices In other branches shall be made. What they want, however, is enough field guns, and enough ammunition to serve them, to make certain the efficiency of the field artillery forces. When your correspondent was at the front in France, near the Argonne forest, S t Mihiel and Verdun, and later in the trenches in Lorraine, he got some realising sense of what artillery means in this war, and, moreover, he learned .definitely the necessity of unlimited ammunition for the guns in service. The cannonading from both the siege guns and the seventy-fives of the French and the seventy-sevens of the Germans was virtually incessant There was a lull at night, but all through the day the cannon roared along the Jotiy or fifty miles of front, for on a still day it Is possible to hear' the gunfire for many miles on either side of the listener. Every foreign officer who spoke on the subject at all, dwelt upon the necessity of field pieces, "shells and still more shells." Are Coast Cities Safe? Sharp knowledge may be had of the diametrically opposed views in Washington on the subject of preparedness by comparing some of the things that the anti-preparedness folks say with things said by the champions of preparation. There is an anti-preparedness committee here which is putting out many pleas against the enactment of any preparedness legislation this winter and, by intimation at least against any preparedness legislative plans for any winter to come. Th^se anti-preparedness advocates, virtually every one of whom is a pacifist hold that we do not need any more ships and that the army is big enough as it Is and that nothing should be done to create a volunteer force, nor to increase the strength of the militia. It is through -the antl-preparednees committee that one hears that our coast cities do not need any further means of defease than they now have, and that no enemy ever will try to place oar big towns under tribute, nor to molest the good American people tn any way. On the other hand, the advocates ef a plea to pet the United a position to defend- itself amy the condition Is ssjch thai any foe that can lay New Tort in two M r s , or In ruins te the ttase Os* It wesjsd tats a e¥tan * * • attested by facts which congress baa had in its possession for years and which every foreign government wild a military information corps has had In its possession tor a long time. Why is it said that a Toe cau smash our cities so easily? Because, army men say, there is only two hours' supply of ammunition for our tjeacoast defense gunB There is one curious feature which stands out from all the facts which have been presented to congress concerning our need or lack, of need of j preparation for defense froti possible j foes. It seems to be admitted that we have big guns enough for the protection of harhors and cities, but that we haven't the ammunition to make the guns useful In other words, congress has been authorizing plenty of money for guns, but has declined to authorize the money for the purchase of the ammunition which would make the guns serviceable. Wilson's Trip to the Capes. President Wilson has been looking oyer one of this country's greatest fortifications, the guard over the sea entrances to three great cities, one of which is the capital of the United States. When the president announced his intention of going to Fortress Monroe to have a-few days time in which to think on whom to appoint to succeed Lindley M. Garrison, his former secretary of war, he had one other object in view, namely, the inspection of the defenses at Fortress Monroe and of the site of the proposed additional defenses at Cape Henry. He wanted to learn at first hand something about the big guns and the water approaches which they command. There is one element in the preparedness plan upon which army officers and legislators fixed their minds prior to the great war in Europe and, of course therefore, prior to the time cf the arousing of interest in this country in the subject of quick preparation for defense. About two years ago plans were laid to build a big fort at Cape Henry to help Fortress Monroe guard the entrance to Chesapeake bay and to the James river. Up the Chesapeake at its farthermost point lies Baltimore. Running into the Chesapeake about midway between th-3 entrance and its high point, is the Potomac river, and up the Potomac lies the city of Washington. Just back of the main entrance to the waters of Hampton Roads lies the city of Norfolk, and up the James river, which empties Into the ocean nsar Norfolk, lies the city of Richmond. All of these cities must be guarded by the forts whose guns command the passageway between Cape Charles and Cape Henry. % Really Two Forts There. In reality there are two forts at Old Point Comfort. There is the old Fortress Monroe built a hundred or more years ago and which resembles to some extent the formications of the medieval period. There is the mason ry fort with Its embrasures through which poked the muzzles of now antiquated tmooth bore guts, and there Is the moat fed by the waters of the bay and whi^h was intended to embarrass If not to stop a land attack. Today as a companion to the old fort is a new fortress, unlike it in all particulars. It is modern and is equipped with the most modern highpower rifles. Electrical and somewhat Intricate machinery has taken the place of the old sponge and rammer staff which was used to charge the muzsle-loading smooth bores of the old time. Range finders and new inventions for sighting have superseded the old system of aiming the smooth bores which, as a matter of fact, were pointed to a considerable extent as an ordinary rifle is pointed. The guns of Fortress Monroe can hurl projectiles across the entrance to Chesapeake bay aa far as the shore waters of Cape Charles. Enemy vessels tn order to get into Chesapeake bay proper and to head toward Baltimore *and Washington must pass within range of the Fortress Monroe guns. However, if a fog is on, or if the enemy's ships are willing to take chances, they could pass up into the Chesapeake, bagging the Cape Charles shore and be in comparatively little danger of disaster from Monroe's guns. To Fortify Cape Henry. In order to make such a passage for the enemy's ships more hazardous batteries have been placed on what are called the Rip-raps which He in the waters of Hampton Roads to the right of Fortress Monroe as one looks seaward This makes two fortifications In place and ready to defend the hay and river approaches, but these two have not been considered sufficient to meet an the possibilities tn the case. Therefore ft was that, congress pro-' vided the means some Base ago for tin purchase of land for a fort on Cape Henry, -the more southern of the two canes between which the channel tote the Chesapeake tad Hampton itoads rsns from the ocean. This fort It to completed will have the BOdem guns and It seems Ukaiy that the sjpvsranient win pace one or two ef the It-inch monsters on thto ALCOHOL- 3 PER CENT.

Geese are just as profitable as ducks. The cost of raising geese is about the same as that o t raising green ducks, the expense varying with local conditions, prices of feed and labor, says Country Gentleman, -it costs approxi mately from G to 10 cents a pound to grow geese under more or less artificial conditious. When they can be grown on pasture the cost is considerably less. Geese require more room than ducks, and they, thrive best on laud where they can have access to ponds and streams. On most farms low,-.marshy land that cannot well be used for anything else can very profitably Us used as a .pasture for fc<*ese. Geeec live largely on grass, though insects and bugs are essential.

So Wisely Distributed That Taxation Will Affect Farmers to a Degree Practically Unnoticeable. So many rumurs have been circulated regarding war taxation in Canada that the statement made by Sir ThomaM White, Canadian Minister Of Finance, ot the Government's plans for raising war revenue should be given the wideat circulation. Sir Thomas made it clear that the revenue will be raised by taxing the profits of incorporated companies whenever those profits exceed seven per cent, and the profits of unincorporated firms or partnerships when the profits exceed ten per cent. On all such excess profit* these companies or firms will have to contribute one-quarter to the Government. Transportation companies, banks, mining, milling, and other companies will be subject to this taxation, but life insurance companies, and companies with less than fifty thousand dollars capitalization, and companies, firms, or individuals engaged in agriculture or stock raising, are exempt, and pay no part of this taxation. The Only other additional taxation proposed is an increase of fifty cents a barrel in the customs duty on apples, and one-half cent a gallon in customs duty on certain kinds of oils. it will be noticed that this taxation Is being applied in such a way that it does not affect farmers in the slightest degree, except, perhaps, through a small increase in cost of apples and oil. The war revenue is to be paid out of the profits of the big firms and companies with capital of over fifty thousand dollars, and even these are allowed seven per cent in some cases, and ten per cent in others, of clear profits before they have to pay any part of this taxation. It will be seen that the whole policy is to place the war expenditure taxation on those who have been making big profits and are able to pay it, and to encourage farming and stockraising by exempting farmers and stock-raisers from the taxation. This ought to set at rest every rumor that the farmer or the farmer's land is being taxed to pay the cost of the war.—Advertisement. *£• IF BACK HURTS CLEAN KIDNEYS WITH SALTS Drfrvk Lots of Water and Stop Eating Meat for a While If the Bladder Bother* You.

They fill a place that trees, shrubs and flowers cannot. They not only screen unsightly objects, but serve as a shade, a protection, and when trained carefully over outbuildings, stone walls and porches they help to make a picture of the home surroundings. Three of the best clinging vines are the Boston ivy, English ivy and the trumpet vine. They are best on brick or stone walls as they are apt to cause decay if allowed to climb over shingles and woodwork. Japanese honeysuckle is of quick growth and great beauty. Its delicate odor and lacelike foliage are desirable qualities. Any of the honeysuckle family are good where dense shade is not requisite. The crimson rambler is another great favorite. It is particularly beautiful when grown over white trellises. Where one wishes to change the location of vines yearly the annuals are necessary. Among the number of beautiful annual climbers the morning glory takes a leading place. The moonflower and cypress and canary bird flower are other beautiful vines, easily grown. To start the seed of Moonflower and Morning Glory cut the seed a little on one side and soak overnight in warm water, plant in a window box or seedbed and transplant out of doors when the ground is warm. Wild cucumbers and Japanese or native hop are hardy^ines and make a dense green shade. Hyacinth bean is also very pretty and a profuse bloom THE WINDOW GARDEN swered simply."—Washington Star.

PUTNAM. Qn a cold, windy day, avoid placing potted plants on the ledge formed by the meeting of the upper and lower sash. Unless the window is more than usually tight, there will be a cpld draft which is always injurious to plants, especially when applied to the roots. Sunshine in midwinter ts always welcome to plant life, yet this should be given in moderation, if the plants are crowded up against the pane, test as to whether the glass may not become too heated. Plant Starvation is a common occurrence in the winter,' especially on the farm. City growers, accustomed to buying not only plant food but even soil, are appreciative of the need of replenishing. But we who have always been accustomed to getting the soil from our own land, sometimes fail to appreciate how quickly the small pot of earth is exhausted of its nutrient qualities. There are prepared plant foods more agreeable to use indoors than fertilizers from the barnyard, but none more efficient. As it is inconvenient to get this fn zero weather, some prefer to fill a sack with fertilizer from the stable and keep this in a crock or pail, covering with water frequently for Immediate USQ. It adds pleasure to watch the growth of the unfamiliar. And too, one learns by this novel class. Be it for foliage, blossom, :brilliancy of color'or fragrance, vary the collection.

"You see that building," said a saloonkeeper in Montana. "That is ail I have in the world. I worked hard to build and equip it. There I earn the food and clothing for my wife and babies. You women aay you are going to put me out of business. That will ruin my property. How am I to support my family?" I thought of the many families that his business was making hungry and unhappy, but I said nothing of thiB, for there was to me a pathos in his plea and to him it was a very real problem. In the seven states that recently went dry there are thousands that meet the Bame conditions. They are cast adrift " npon a wholly uncharted sea and they see nothing beyond. I answered: "My friend, when Montana goes dry, and as sure as you and I live Montana is going dry, that lot will remain Just where it is. Unless there is a fire, and against that you can continue to protect your property by insurance as you are doing now, your building will remain where it is. Just lower your bar and make a counter of it. Put- in some more windows » at a slight expense, and sell tea, coffee, sugar, flour, shoes—any commodity—to the very same people who patronize you now and receive in exchange the same kind of dollars. Perhaps, my friend, you have not thought that Mr. Brown over there who now comes to your place nightly and spends his money, may come in and buy a pair of shoes for Ms little Mary, who sadly needs them. This purchase on his part will not unfit him to earn another day's wage tomorrow to buy something needed for his small son, Jimmie. And then perhaps he will come in the next night and buy a sack of flour, taking it home to his wife to use in making bread. As for Mr. Brown himself, he will go to bed and get a good night's sleep and the next day he will be able to earn enough more funds to buy a sack of potatoes. Do yfcjr^ot see that you may sell from the same building to the same people who now patronize you and get even more money? I am sure, too, that your wife will be happier and your children will no longer be shunned.

A runner who ties a weight about his leg is no greater dunce than the worklngman or the merchant who puts a dram of liquor into his digestion or his brain.

Judge Tully Scott of Colorado's supreme court speaking to the toast "Democracy's Opportunity** at a Democratic banquet, made this statement: "In my opinion constitutional prohibition will never be repealed in Colorado. I believe it t o be as firmly established as the provision for equal suffrage, and I believe we all agree that any effort to repeal the grant of tqual suffrage in this state would prove as futile aa an attempt to repeal the natural law of gravitation." COWARDLY PLEA. - In every country state finance has been the rook behind which the poisoners took shelter. "Without the liquor tax what a deficit there will be!" War gave swift answer to that cowardly plea, What was the tax gain from liquor when dropped into the war deficit of a MUkm a month?

This Company was organized August. 30th, 1915, thus enabling his first members to join at a time of the year when the best risks could be selected and after the more numerous losses of the summer months bad passed. This Company obtained about nineteen hundred members which enabled them to pass through the winter and the experimental stage with safety, and the large membership and surplus will now enable the Company to commence the spring work with everything in its favor. The revenue from new members will be large for sometime to come. One Company and one overhead expense will keep the cost down to the lowest point, as -the Company is run on the mutual plan, the cost to join is only $1.00 for policy and 25c per H. P. 8tate rating. Anyone desiring an application or an agency should write to the Citizens' Mutual Automobile Insurance Company, Howell, Michigan.—Advertisement.

CYCLONE SEASON NEAR $1,000,003 of Cyclone Losses in the State of Michigan In the Year 1913. This Company paid out $272,000 of losses in the year 1913. It has paid during the past five years 9,539 losses and a total of $435,358 to people who have had their buildings wrecked in the State of Michigan. The Company has about 40,000 members, and $88,000,000 of assessable capital. The Company has made only six assessments in nineteen years; thirteen out of the nineteen not a single dollar collected by assessment from any member of this Company. No assessment was made in the year 1915, and yet the Company had on hand January' let, 1916, about $80,000 in cash. There are about one hundred mutual companies in Michigan covering fire insurance; they save the farmers of Michigan about $1,000,000 over the cost in stock companies each year. The saving in cyclone insurance is much greater.' Because of our large membership with only one overhead expense, mutual insurance against cyclone, in our Company, on account of the low cost and efficient service, has appealed to the farmers and business men of every' section of the State. The many cyclones and tornadoes which have ruined people in nearly every part of the State should be a warning to you. Insure your property whether it be in the city or country, in a safe Company. The cost of a policy of $2,000 is only $4.50. See our agent in your locality at once, or write C. H. Rood, Sec. State Mutual Cyclone Insurance Company, Lapeer, Mich. —Advertisement.

Washington.—From time to time the White House receives petitions from peace and church societies and from organizations which are devoted to sociological endeavor, urging the president to intervene in behalf of peace on the other side of the water. Some months ago these petitions were received in Washington in great numbers. Then for a time comparatively few came, but recently it is said there has been an increase In the size of the peace-petitioning mall bag. it can be said that the possibility of bringing about peace has been in President Wilson's mind ever since the war began. It is generally believed in Washington, however, that Mr. Wilson feels be cannot take up sucb a matter at the present time, for unquestionably be thinks the nations engaged in fighting one another would consider such a proposal at this time as something like an impertinence. Those who seem to know Mr. Wil son's views say he has his eye and heart watching and waiting for a peace-proposing opportunity, but that he has had no illusions on the subj e c t It can be taken for granted that the president wants to bring about peace for the sake of peace, and, of course, It is natural to suppose he realizes it would be a master stroke for his administration if it were to be the chief Instrument in making warring men lay down their arms. When Japan and Russia were fighting each other twelve years ago, Theodore Roosevelt, who was then president of the United States, found out that both of the warring nations were willing to listen to peace proposals and then he succeeded in bringing about the conference at Portsmouth, N. H., which resulted In the signing of a peace treaty by the two nations. Not Yet Ready for Peace. Mr. Roosevelt felt his way toward making bis proposals It seems to be unquestionably true that Mr. Wilson has felt his way likewise in the present instance, but that he has found the way led up against a stone wall. Here is the way one Washington official has put the matter: "Peace proposals by pacifists, peace ships loaded with amity lovers from bow to stern, tracts with the Golden Rule emblazoned on them, the wails of war widows and orphans and all other things born of sympathy and good will, it is felt today by the admin istration and its advisers, will be of no avail, because of the stern fact that the fighting nations are not ready for peace." It might be said without much danger of going wrong that the central powers today would be willing to submit to peace negotiations because of their favored position at the present time. Germany and Austria are in possession of Belgium, a part of France, parts of other countries and the whole of some of the smaller Btates. Therefore Washington recognises that the central powers are in a good position to be willing that peace should come. On the other hand, there is every indication that neither the English nor the French, nor the Russians, nor the Italians would look on peace proposals at t h e present time as anything but proposals to bring to them misfortunes worse than war itself. In other words, the allied countries probably would hold that even to consider peace at this moment would be tantamount to Intimating a willingness to give up territory and to stop the war at a loss not only of territory, but of prestige. Foreign Affairs Political Issue. For a year and a half after the European war broke out virtually all the members of congress seemed to feel that the-diplomatic dealings of this country with the belligerent nations should not be made subjects of partisan' debate. This feeling now has passed, to a considerable extent, aad the foreign policies of the government are being made the subject of bested discussion In both booses of congress. The Democrat* say the Republicans first made the foreign matters s political issue, and the Republicans retort that t h e weak methods of nsndling roreign matters forced overthesea relations into the nottttcsl field, and that t h e people, taking the matter ap, wmdo fbeir senators s a d Mpro> seutatives follow salt. EHaa Boot ssada his speech » Mow York city a t the a n o a o l a i oonveadon o ftbo Rapnblkaa party. Ho attacked the administration's foreign policy. A few days afterward Senator Lewis of Illinois delivered himself in the senate of an address in support of the administration's diplomatic dealings, and in bis speech be charged the Republicans with trying to make political capi tal out of matters which hud DO place in politics. Then came the Bpeech of Senator Lodge, Republican, of Massachusetts, in which he criti-ized sharply tb~ statu department's dealing and, over the shoulder of the state depart ment. the directing influence of President Wilson Senator Sterling of South Dakota also made a speech along the Lodge lines, and both these speeches were similar In spirit to those made by Mr. Root in New York city. Preparedness Also Political. The Democrats in the senate coun tered against the Republican senators with speeches by Senator Stone of Missouri, chairman of the committee on foreign relations, and by John Sharp Williams of Mississippi. Literally the senate has been a forum for give-and-take speeches with diplomacy as Us text. It has been pretty definitely shown by the speeches already made 1n the bouse and senate that preparedness Is a political issue, even If diplomacy has no such a place. It is also shown that neither Democrats nor Republicans seem to feel that in the matter of preparedness they should not talk politics The reason that preparation for defense has become a political issue is that the Republicans believe in a greater measure of preparedness than do the Democrats, and, therefore, preparedness as a policy has become a party matter Compromise on Preparedness? It seems almost certain today that a military preparedness -bill in the form in which it will finally go to the president for his signature will be a compromise between the houBe measure and the senate measure. As the country knows pretty thoroughly by this time, the plan of Chairman Hay of the house committee on military affairs is to federalize the militia to as great an extent as possible, and thereby to make the state troops a reserve for the regular army, instead of instituting a continental army of volunteers, as was and still Is the senate plan. Chairman Hay was opposed to a large increase in the regular army, but It 1B now believed he, his committee with him and also the house, will agree eventually to an increase in the regular army until it shall reach a strength of about 150,000 men. This regular force, supplemented by a largely increased and strengthened militia, will form the main land forces for defense purposes of the United States, provided, of course, that the expected compromise with the senate Is reached. The senate committee on military affairs, of which Senator Chamberlain of Oregon is chairman, has stood for the Garrison plan of a large continental army of volunteers and for an increase in the regular army to a number much greater than that fixed upon by Chairman Hay of the house committee. It seems today as if the outcome will be that the house will yield to tne senate in the matter of a considerable increase in the regular army and that the senate will yield to the extent of giving over its continental army and accepting as a substitute therefor a federal militia plan. Federalized. Militia Argument. There are army officers of high rank who hold that the militia never can be thoroughly federalized. In other words, they believe that all the laws which congress may pass to bring about federalization will not do what they are expected to do, because, as the army men say, the Constitution of the United States stands in the way. In contravention to the army view, friends of the federalized militia plan say that high legal authorities agree that the United States government, without violating the Constitution, can take over virtually full control of the militia. Moreover, they say that pecuniary aid which will be granted by government to the militia can be withdrawn at any time that the states do not live up to the agreements which the government tnslsts that they shall make, if they are to be the recipients of Uncle Sam's bounty. Provisions for Officers. It is believed the number of cadets at West Point will be doubled by the legislation which it is thought the house and senate will agree upon. It is also expected that government aid in the form of money will be given to a state college in each commonwealth for the purpose of instructing young men adequately in military science. It is held that these schools will give young Americans a sufficient military training- to enable them to take op the dalles of the junior c o m mission grades in the volunteer service of their country la time of trouble.

"The naval general staff states that H. M. S. Moewe, Commander Captain Burgrave Count von Dohna-Sehlodien, after a successful cruise lasting several months, arrived at some home port with four British officers, 29 British marines and sailors, 166 men of crews of enemy steamers, among them 103 Indians, as prisoners, and 1,000,000 marks in gold bars. "The vessel captured the following enemy steamers, the greater part of which were sunk and a small part of which were sent as prizes to neutral ports. "The British steamers Corbridge, 3,687 tons; Author, 3,496 tons; Trader, 3,608 tons; Ariadne, 3,035 tons; Dromonby, 3,062 tons; Farrlngford, 3,146 tons; Clan MacTavish, 5,816 tons; Appam, 7.781 tons; Westbun, 3,300 tons; Horace, 3,335 tons; Flamenco, 4,629 tons; Saxon Prince, 3.- 471 tons. The British sailing vessel Edinburgh, 1,473 tons. The French steamer Maroni, 3,109 tons. The Belgian steamer Luxembourg, 4,322 tons. At several points on enemy coast the Moewe also laid out mines to which, among others, the battleship King Edward VII fell victims." Live Stock. DETROIT—Cattle Receipts, 2,890.

BREWERS ARE INDICTED For Unlawful Spending of Money During Elections. Pittsburg—One hundred and one indictments of which 100 are against 72 brewing companies located in various parts of Pennsylvania, and one against the United States Brewers' association of New York, were unexpectedly returned by the federal grand Jury which has been tnvastigating the alleged political activity of brewers. The indictments, which are the first returned since the investigation opened, charge the brewing companies and the association with conspiracy in the alleged unlawful expenditure of mosey In elections at which rotes for federal officials were being c a s t Detroit—Detroit housewives are contributing daily to the munition factories at the expense of their hus- ! bands who have to pay higher and f higher prices for printed matter. The ! old rags and waste paper that the ragman picks up in the alleys or buys ffor a few cents are no longer going to t h e paper mills, but are being bought up in enormous quantities by the powder mills for the manufacture of gun-cotton. The powder mills have such a monopoly on the rag market of this country that some of the paper mills are actually on the verge of closing down. "Because of the great drain by the munitions factories of the materials from which paper is made the prices of paper of all kinds are advancing at an alarming rate. All paper is at least 20 per cent higher now than a year ago and many kinds are almost twice as expensive. Verdun, via Paris—Nine-inch shells are falling around the Gath bridges and railway stations of Verdun. They come from long range guns—seven miles away—and drop methodically. The German gunners are trying to break the communications through Verdun. Strangely enough not a bridge nor an entrance to the abandoned fortifications has been struck directly. Splinters from shells have chopped some of the structures, but none of them has been destroyed. The city is vacant. It is more like a ghost of a city than a modern, well-built town. There is no civilians and no soldiers here. Firemen have remained, however, and are busy stopping the work of the incendiary bombs. A detachment of gendarmes is on duty as a precaution against any stray plundering. Twenty-two thousand persons locked their doors, and with a small allowance of personal baggage, left the town by order. Transportation was provided for them without deranging the enormous military requirements of the moment One can walk through miles of streets with shattered windows without seeing a person either in uniform or out of uniform.

TELEGRAPHIC FLASHES "The attempt to check emigration from the United States to our prairie provinces by publishing alarming statements about the enormous v a r taxes that are being paid here—$500 on a quarter section yearly—about forcing young men to enlist for the war; about the cold, no cropa and any old, etory that by their extravagant' boldaess might influence men and women from venturing north to Canada, is really in the list of curios to our people; Knowing the country, we can hardly take it Beriously. Our governments, hoe/ever, dominion and provincial, are taking steps to expose t h e false statements that are being made, and thereby keep the channel open fdr continuing the stream of settlers that has been flowing o us for the past decade. We have thought to assist in this work, and to do so purpose giving, from time to time, actual experiences of Americans who have come to Saskatchewan during late years. We give the statements of two farmers in this issue ae follows: — STATEMENT OF M. P. TYSDAL. I lived near Lee, Illinois, for 46 years. I came to Saskatchewan in the spring of 1912 and bought land near Briercrest I have farmed this land, 1,680 acres, ever since. I have had grand crops. In 1914 I had 100 acres of wheat that yielded 40 bushels to the acre. I sold this wheat at $1.50 per bushel. I like the country and my neighbors. My taxes on each quarter section (160 acres) are about $32 a year. This covers municipal tax, school tax, hall insurance tax—everything. There is no war tax, so-called. I like the laws in force here. There is no compulsion to m i in any way. I am just as independent here as I was in Illinois, and I feel that my family and I are Just as well protected by the laws of the province as we were ID our )ld home in Illinois. What I earn here is my own. I have seven children and they take their places at school, in sports and at all public gatherings the same as the Canadian born. (Signed) M. P. TYSDAL. February 9th, 1916. STATEMENT OF-STEVE SCHWEITZBERGER I was born in Wisconsin, but moved with my parents when a boy to Stephen Co., Iowa. I was there farmin for 50 years. I sold my land then for over $200 an acre. I moved to Saskatchewan, and located near Briercrest in the spring of 1912. I bought a half section of land. I have good neighbors. I feel quite at home here the same as in Iowa. We have perfect safety and no trouble in living up to the laws in force. My taxes are about $65 a year, on the half section for everything. I have had splendid crops. Wheat In 1915 yielded me over 50 bushels to the acre. That is more than I ever had in Iowa and yet the land there costs four times as much as it does here. The man who comes here now and buys land at $50 an acre or less gets a bargain. (Signed) S.

If you were in love with a girl and t beast of a man, who had the power to get you fired from your job, made a smirking remark about her to you, would you smash him In the jaw and kick him out of your office— even if the act caused an indefinite postponement of your wedding? CHAPTER V—Continued. "I can't believe it, Murray. It's * leaf out of the book of Bedlam! Take a fair shot at It and see where the bullet lands: this entire crazy fake is built* upon one solitary, lonesome fact—the fact that we're here, with a job on our hands big enough to create an active, present-moment market for labor and material. There is absolutely nothing else behind the bubble blowing: if we were not here the Nlquola Improvement company would never have been heard of!" Grlslow laughed. "Your arguing that twice two makes four doesn't change the iridescent hue of the bubble/' he volunteered. "If big money has seen a chance to skin somebody, the mere fact that the end of the world is due to come along down the pike some day isn't going to cut any obstructing figure. We'll all be buying and selling corner lots in Hosford's new city before we're a month older. Don't you believe it?" "I'll believe it when 1 Bee it," was Brouillard's reply; and with this the matter rested for the moment It was la*ter In the day, an hour or so after the serving of the hearty supper in the engineers' mess tent, that BroulUard was given to see another and still less tolerable side of his temporary guest Hosford had come into the office to plant himself solidly in the makeshift easy chair for the smoking of a big, black after-supper cigar. "I've been looking over your rules and regulations, BroulUard," he began, after an interval of silence which BroulUard had been careful not to break. "You're making a capital mistake in trying to transplant the old Connecticut blue laws out here. Your workingmen ought to have the right to spend their money in any way thai suits 'em." Brouinard was pointedly occupying himself at his desk, but he looked up long enough to say: "Whisky, you mean?" "That and other things. They tell me you don't allow any open gambling or any women here outside of the families of the workmen." "We don't," was the short rejoinder. -That won't hold water after we get things fairly in motion." " v l t will have to hold water aa far *Jg) we are concerned, if I have to build ; * stockade around the camp," snapped "Srooillard. Hoeford'a heavy face wrinkled itself m a mirthless smile "You're nutty," be remarked. "When I find a man bearing down hard on all the little wloes, it always makes me wonder V"%hat's the name of the corking big one ' J f | Is trying to cover up." ^ B l n c e there was obviously no peaceful reply to be made to this, Brouillard best lower over bis work and amid nothing. At every fresh step in the forced acquaintance the newcomer was p a i n ^ V ^ g 1 ? developing new aa- Sooneror later. Brouillard . it would come to an open ruptare. bot be was hoping that the actual KtTHrles could be postponed After Hosford bad worn out bis porery welcome as a gmeet ta the brother from that mine up on the south mountain—Massingale, isn't it? By Jove! she fairly made my mouth water!" Inasmuch as no man can read fieldnotes when the page has suddenly become a red blur, Brouillard looked up. "You are my guest, In a way, Mr. Hosford; for that reason I can't very well tell you what I think of~ you." So much he was able to say quietly. Then the control mechanism burned out in a flash of fiery rage and he cursed the guest fluently and comprehensively, winding up with a crude and savage threat of dismemberment if he should ever venture so much as to name Miss Massingale again in the threatener's hearing. Hosford sat up slowly, and his big face turned darkly red. "Well!" he broke out "So you're that kind of a fire-eater, are you? I didn't suppose anything like that ever happened outside of the ten-cent shockers, wake up, man; this is the twentieth century we're living in. Don't look at me that way!" But the wave of insane wrath was already subsiding, and Brouillard, half ashamed of the momentary lapse into savagery, was onve more scowling down at the pages of his notebook, when the door opened and Qulnlan, .the operator, came in with a communication fresh from the Washington wire. The message was an indirect reply to Hosford's telegraphed appeal to the higher powers. Brouillard read it, stuck it upon the file, and took a roll of blueprints from the bottom drawer of bis desk. "Here are the drawings for your power Installation, Mr. Hosford,** he said, handing the roll to the man in the chair. And a little later he went out to smoke a pipe In the open air, leaving the message of inquiry he had Intended to send unwritten. CHAPTER VI Symptomatic i For some few minutes the two on the cabin porch made no attempt to talk, but when the rumbling thunder of the ore-car which the elder Massingale was pushing ahead of him into the mine had died away in the subterranean distances Brouillard began again. "1 do get your point of view—some times," he said. "Civilization, or what stands for i t does have a way of shrinking into littleness, not to say cheapness, when one can get the proper perspective. And your life up here on Chigringo has given you the needful detached point of view." The trouble shadows in the eyes of the young woman who was sitting in the fishnet hammock gave place to a smile of gentle derision. "Do you call that civilization r she demanded, indicating the straggling new town spreading itself, maplike, in the valley below. "I suppose it is—one form of i t At least it is civilisation In the making. Everything has to have some sort of a beginning." Miss Massingale acquiesced in a little uptilt of her perfectly rounded chin. ^ "Just the same, you don't pretend to say you are enjoying it" she said la manifest deprecation. "Oh. I dont know. My work is down there. A few weeks ago I waa righteously h o t It seemed so crudely unnecessary to start a pigeon-plocking match at this distance from Wan street" "But now," she queried—"now, I suppose, you have become reconciled r *1 am growing more philosophical, let us say. There are Just about so many pigeons to be plucked, anyway; they'd molt if they weren't plucked. And NT may as well be dose here as on the stock exchange, when you come to think of i t " **1 like you least when you talk that way," said the young woman in the hammock, with open-eyed trankaeae, "Do you do it aa other men dot—just to hear how it sound*?" Broofflaxd, sitting on the top step of the porch, leaned his head agalmet the porch post and langhed "You know too much—a lot too for a person.of your tender he asserted. "Which aaseee of the flharmhtg oonocttoa am a 'collection of contradictions.'" Brouillard'8 gaze went past the shapely little figure in the string hammock to lose itself in the far Tlmanyonl distances. "You are a bundle of surprises." be said, letting the musing thougbt «llp into speech. "What can you possibly know about my thoughts?" She made a funny little grimace at him. "It was 'contradictions' a moment ago and now it is 'surprises.' Which reminds me, you haven't told me why I am a 'collection.'" •*0h. I can catalogue them if you push me to i t One minute you are the Madonna lady that I can t recall, calm, reposeful, truthful, and all that, you know—so truthful that those childlike eyes of yours would make a stuttering imbecile of the man who should come to you with a lie in hia mouth." "And the next minute?" "The next minute you are a witch, laughing at the man's little weaknesses, putting your finger on tbem as accurately as if you could read tits soul, holding them up to your ridicule and—what's much worae—to bis own. AT such times your insight or whatever you choose to call i t is enough to give a man a fit of 'seeing things.' " Her laugh was like a schoolgirl's, light-hearted, ringing, deliciously unrestrained/ "What a picture!" she commented. And then: "I can draw a better one of you, Monsieur Victor de Brouillard." "Do i f he dared. "Very well, then: Once upon a time —it was a good while ago, I'm afraid— you were a very upright young man You would cheerfully have died for s principle in those days, and you would have allowed the enemy to cut you up into cunning little inch cubes before you would have admitted that any pigeon was ever made to be plucked." He was smiling mirthlessly, with the black mustaches taking the sardonic upcurve. "Then what happened?" "One of two things, or maybe both of them. You were pushed out into the life race with some sort of a handicap. I don't know what It was—- or is. Is that true?" He nodded gravely. "It is all true enough. You haven't added anything more than a graceful little touch here and there. Who has been telling you all these things about me? Not Grizzy?" "No, not Murray Grlslow; It was the man you think you know best in ail the world—who is also probably the one you know the least—yourself." "Good heavens! Am I really such a transparent egoist as all that?" "All men are egoists," she answered calmly. "In some the ego Is sound and clear-eyed and strong; in others it is weak—in the same way that passion is weak; it will sacrifice all tt bas or hopes to have in some sudden fury of self-assertion." She sat up and put her hands to her hair, and he was free to look away, down upon the great ditch where the endless chain of concrete buckets added to the deep and widespread foundations of the dam. Across the river a group of hidden sawmills sang their raucous song. In the middle distance the caoip-town city spread its roughly indicated streets over the valley level, the tall chimney stacks of the new cement plant were rising, and from the quarries beyond the plant the dull thunder of the blasts drifted up. This was not Broulllard's first visit to the cabin on the Massingale claim by many. In the earliest stages of the valley activities Smith, the Buckskin cattleman, had been Amy Massingale's escort to the reclamation camp—"just a couple o' lookers." in Smith's phrase —and the unconventional altitudes had done the rest From that day forward the young woman had hospitably opened her door to Brouillard and his assistants, and any member of the corps, from Leshington the morose, who commonly came to sit in solemn silence on the porch step, to Griffith, who had lost his youthful heart to Miss Massingale on his first visit was welcome. A Turn in the Trait For BroulUard it had seemed the most natural thing in the world to fall under the spell of enchantment He knew next to nothing of the young woman's life story; he had not cared to know. It had not occurred to him to wonder how the daughter of a man who drilled and shot the holes in his own mine should have the gifts and belongings—when she chose to display them—of a woman of a much wider world. It was enough for him that she was piquantly attractive in any character aad that be found her marvel, ousry stimulating and uplifting. On the days when the devil of and irritability pnsissasd and deeed him he could climb to the eabta on high Cfcigrtago aad t a d sanity It was a-keea joy to be with her, aad up to the p r i s t tads had "You may put it in that way if you please," Bhe returned gravely. "What its your need?" He stated It concisely. "Money—a lot of It." "How singular!" she laughed. She got out of the hammock and came to lean, with ber hands behind her, against the opposite porch post "But tell me, what wo'uld you do with your pot of rainbow gold—if you should find it?" Brouillard rose and straightened himself with his arms over his head like an athlete testing his muscles for the record breaking event. "What would I do? A number of things. But first of all, I think, I'd buy the privilege of telling some worn an that 1 love her." She was silent for so long a time that he looked at hia watch and thought of going. But at the deciding Instant she held him with a low-spoken question. "Does It date back to the handicap? You needn't tell me If you don't want to." "It does. And there Is no reasou why I shouldn t tell you the simple fact. When my father died he left me a debt—a debt of honor; and It must be paid. Until it is paid—but I am sure you understand." "Quite fully," she responded quickly and now there was no trace of levity in the sweetly serious tone, "la it much?—so much that you can't—" He nodded and sat down again on the porch step. "Yes, It is big enough to go In a class by itself—in round numbers,, a hundred thousand dollars " "Horrors!" she gasped. "And you are carrying that millstone? Must you carry It?" "If you knew the circumstances you would be the first to say that 1 must carry it, and go on carrying it to the end of the chapter." "But—but you'll never be free!" "Not on a government salary." he admitted. "As a matter of fact, It takes more than half of the salary to pay the premiums on—pshaw! Let's drop It." She was looking beyond him and her voice was quick with womanly sympa thy when she said: "If you could drop It—but you can't. And It changes ev erything for you, distorts everything, colors your entire life. It's heart breaking!" This was dangerous ground for him and he knew It. In the ardor of young manhood he had taken up the vicari ous burden dutifully, and at that time his renunciation of the things that other-men strove for seemed the light est -of the many fetterings. But now love for a woman was threatening to make the renunciation too grievous to be borne. "How did you know?" he queried curiously. "It does change things. Id sell anything I've got, Bave one, for a chance at the freedom that other men have—and dcn't value." "What is the one thing you wouldn't sell?" she questioned, and Brouillard chose to discover a gently quickened interest In the clear-seeing eyes. "My love for the—for some woman I'm saving that, you know. It is the only capital I'll have when the big debt is paid." "Do you want me to be frivolous or serious?" she asked, looking down at him with the grimacing little smile that always reminded him of a caress "I have been wondering whether she is or isn't worth the effort—and the reservation you make. Because it is all in that, you know. You can do and be what you want to do and be if you only want to hard enough." He was looking down, chiefly because he dared not look up, when he answered soberly: "She Is worth it many, times over; her price is above rubies. Money, much or little, wouldn't be in i f "That is better—much better. Now we may go on to the ways and means; they are all in the man, not in the things, 'not none whatsoever,' as Tig would say.

It's gone And now he is going to make good again when the railroad comes." Brouillard got up. MI must be going back down the bin," he said. And then, without warning: "What if I should tell you that the railroad is not coming to the Ntquola. Amy?" DRINK HOT WATER BEFORE BREAKFAST Says you really feel clean, sweet and fresh inside, and are seldom ill. If you are accustomed to wake up with a coated tongue, foul breath or a dull, dizzy headache; or, If your meala sour and turn into gas and acids, you have a real surprise awaiting you. Tomorrow morning, immediately upon arising, drink a glass of hot water with a teaapoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This is Intended to first neutralize and then wash out of your stomach, liver, kidneys and thirty feet of intestines all the indigestible waBte, poisons, sour bile and toxins, thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal. Those subject to sick headaches, backache, bilious attacks, constipation or any form of stomach trouble, are urged to get a quarter pound of limestone phosphate from your druggist or at the store and begin enjoying this morning inside-bath. It 1B said that men and women who try this become enthusiastic and keep it up daily. It is a splendid health measure for it is more important to keep clean and pure on the inside than on the outside, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, causing* disease, while the bowel pores do. The principle of bathing inside is not new, as millions of people practice It. Just as hot water and soap cleanse, - purify and freshen the skin, so hot water and a teaapoonful of limestone phosphate act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels. Limestone phosphate is an inexpensive white powder and almost tasteless.—Adv. Rapid Promotion. For three hours the American consul in a certain Mexican town had been sitting In the hotel dining room. At length the proprietor came to him. "Pardon, sir," he said, with a low bow. "Were you waiting for anything?" "Yes," replied the consul. "Yesterday I told Ferdinand, your head waiter, that 1 would dine here at six. Its now nine, and he hasn't appeared yet." "Ferdinand joined the army early today," the proprietor informed him. "If the senor—" "Gone, has he? The scoundrel! Why didn't be let me know be was going?'' "More respect, please, senor," protested the Mexican, with dignity.

Florence NigiumgLtie, wiiote death vc-curred \u 1911 ai Liie advaueed a^e of aiuety, was a ruvolutiuzuist In tile most splendid sense of tuut term. Sbe it was who revolutionized iiuramg to tiiat extent cliat sho may be considered as tne inotner of tJaat profession. Previous to ber enti-ance into the field the sick were tile victims cf callous ignorance and giaspmg indiffej- ence, but Florence Nightingale lna- cxiuced tne trained, skilled and gentle Ijospital nurse, district nurse aod military nurse of today. Certainly t o f e w women—and to few men—has it been given to serve tneir fellows so splendidly and so effectively. Florence Nightingale found chaos in military hospitals; she created order and all that order implies. After the battle of Alma, in the Crimean war, the military hospital at Scutari was like a dirty shambles. Wounded men died in hundreds in the midst of squalor and vermin. Crowds of poisonous flies buzzed ceaselessly above the sick; medical supplies were in-:.definite; proper food could no', be had; there were no arrangements for w;::;h:njj: or sanitation. The plight of the wounded soldiers, herded together in this hotbed of pestilence, was worse than if they had been left upon the battlefield. "Are there no devoted women amon^ you." wrote Russell, the famous war correspondent" of the Loudon Times, "able and willing to go forth and administer to the sic!: and suffering soldiers in the east In the hospitals at Scutari? Are none of the daughters of England r.t thls^ hour of need ready for such a work of mercy?" This appeal was answered almost instantly. Sidney Herbert w a s then at the head of the war of&ce, and when the authorities began to be inundated by letters from women of,all classes anxious to respond to the call Mr. Herbert's thoughts a t once turned to the Lady who was in his opinion the one woman capable of organizing and taking <"it to the Crimea a staff of nurses. The woman was Florence Nightingale. Miss Nightingale- was thirty-four at the time, and from her childhood she had devoted hei-self to the study of hospital nursinii and hospitul immanent.

Inhabitants chiefly of forest regions, they are nn< known on the open plains. Ordinarily they live in the woods, but are partial also to old pastures or lands not frequently cultivated. From woods, hedges and fence rows they spread into gardens, lawns and cultivated flefds through their own underground tunnels or those of the garden mole. The tunnels made £y pine mice can be distinguished from Those made by moles only by their smaller diameter and the frequent holes that open to the surface.

The same day Florence Nightingale written to the war ollice offerln services iu tbe hospital at Scutari offer showed splendid courage. Within a week of making her resolve, Miss Nightingale had her first contingent? of nurses in marching order. She had selected thirty-eight nurses to accompany her, and they arrived at Scutari on the day before the battle of Inkennan. And without a moment's loss of time that lady in chief and her staff set to work to cleanse the Augean stable which they found waiting for them at the great barrack hospital. Tu a short time the place was entirely renovated. Everything was scrubbed, old clothes were burned, a kitchen and laundry were established, and the place became a comfortable, well organised hospital. Florence Ntehflngnle superintended everything. She worked ns nurd at the routine nnd organizing JJS at the nursing itself. At nil hours of the d;iy nnd night she would walk silently, lamp in hand, through the wards, giving ft word of comfort here or Instruction tuene. She saved the lives literally of hundreds. Wounded men. so horribly mangled that doctors gave them no hope, and other nurses couki not bring themselves to touch them, were savod from death by tlie tireless en re of this one wonderful woman. The nier worshiped the very shadow of this "lady wHta the lamp." The supreme womanliness of the work of M 1 M Nightingale made her tbft Idol of the SagUah people. Three monarch* paid their tribute to her. Remembered by royalty she was not forgotten by the people. On ber return, •battered in health, from Scutari, S280LOOO was presented to ber by a grateful nation.

The mole is seeking earthworms or white grubs that feed upon the tubet*, but mice that follow in the runs eat the potatoes them selves. Depredations by i>tne mice can be found only after digging about the tree and exposing the trunk below the surface. The roots of small trees are often entirely eaten off by pine mice, and pine trees as well as decldnons forest trees, when young, are frequently killed by these animals. For destroying pine mice sweet potatoes nr; a bait have been found effective. They keep well in contact with soil except when there is danger of freezing, nnd are readily eaten by the mice. The baits should be prepared as follows: Cut sweet potatoes into pieces about as large as good sized grapes, r i m e them in a metal pan or tub and wet them with water. Drain off the water and with a tin pepper box slowly sift over them powdered strychnine (alkaloid preferred), stirring constantly so that the poison is evenly distributed. An ounce of strychnine should poison a bushel of the cut bait The bait, whether of grain or pieces of ]>otato, may be dropped Into the pine mouse tunnels through the natural openings or through holes made with a piece of broom handle or other stick. Bird life will not be endangered by these balm. Nightingale was the mother of all present day nurses. — Cleveland Plain Dealer.
