CHAPTER XXIII.
Two Love Stories.
If It had not boon for lier absorbing
thought of Sabron, Julia would liavo
rovoled In tho desert and the new ex
periences. As It wan, Its charm and
magic and tho fact that ho traveled
over It hclpod her to endure the Inter
val. In tho deep Impenetrable silonco she
boomed to hoar her futuro speak to
hor. Sho bolioved that It would either
bo a wondorfully happy one, or a hope
lessly withered life.
"Julia, I cannot rldo any farther!"
exclaimed tho comtosHo.
Sho was an oxcollont horsewoman
and had ridden all hor life, but her
riding of lato had conslstod of a can
lor in tho Bols do Boulogne at noon,
Mid It was sometimes hard to follow
Julla'u tlroless gallops toward an ovor
disappearing goal.
"Forglvo mo," said Miss Redmond,
and brought hor horse up to her
frlond's side.
It was tho cool of tho day, of tho
fourteenth day since Treinont had loft
Alglonj and tho sovonth day of Julia's
excursion. A fresh wind blow from
tho west, lifting tholr veils from their
l.olmets and bringing tho fragrnnco of
tho mimosa Into whoso jcanty forest
thoy had ridden. Tho sky paled to
ward sunset, und tho ovonlng star,
second In glory only to tho moon,
hung ovor tho wost.
Although both women know per
fectly well tho renBon for this excur
sion and Its Importance, not ono word
had been spoken botwoen thorn of
Sabron nnd Tremont other than a
natural Intoroat and anxiety.
Thoy might have boen two hospital
hursos awaiting tholr patients.
Thoy haltod their horses, looking
ovor toward tho western" horizon and
Its mystery. "Tho star shines over
their caravan," mused Madr.mo do la
Maine (Julia had not thought Tliorcso
poetical), "as though to lead thorn
homo."
Mndamo do la Malno turnod her faco
nnd Julia saw tears In hor oyes, Tho
Frenchwoman's control wac usually
porfect, sho treated most things with
mocuing gayoty. Tho bright softness
of hor eyes touched Julia.
"Thorcso!" exclaimed tho Ameri
can girl. "It is only fourteen days!"
Bladamo do la Malno laughed. Thoro
was n break In hor voice. "Only four
'teon days," sho repeated, "und any
.ono of those days may mean death!"
Sho throw back hor hoad, touched
Jier ,stalllon, and flow away llko light,
and It was Julia who first drow rein.
"Thoreso! Thercso! Wo cannot
go any farther!"
"Lady!" said Azraol. Ho drow his
big black horse up bcaldo them. "Wo
must go back to tho tents."
Madame do la Malno pointed with
hor whip townrd tho horizon. "It Is
cruel! It ovor rocedos"
I t ..
"Toll mo( Julia, ot Monsieur do
Babron," asked Madume do la Malno
abruptly.
"Thoro Is nothing to toll, Thercso."
"You don't trust mo?"
"Do you think that, really?"
In tho tout whore Azraol sorvod
thorn their meal, under tho colling of
Turkish red with Us Arabic charnc
lers In clear whlto, Julia and Mndamo
do la Malno sat while tholr coffoo was
norvod them by a Syrian servant.
"A girl dooa not como Into tho Sa
hara and watch llko a sentinel, docs
not suffer as you have suffered, ma
chero, without thoro boing Bomothlng
to toll."
"It 1b truo," said MIbs Redmond,
"and would you ho with mo, Thoreso,
If I did not trust you? And whnt do
you wuut mo to tell?" sho added
naively.
Tho comtosso laughed.
"Vous otos charmanto, Julia!"
"I mot Monslour do Sabron," said
Julia slowly, "not many months ago In
Tarascon. I saw him sovoral times,
nnd then ho went away."
"And then?" urgod Mndamo do la
Malno eagerly.
"Ho loft Ills llttlo dog, I'ltchouno,
fcrlth mo, and Pltchouno ran aftor his
toaster, to Marseilles, fllugtng himself
into tho water, and was rescued by
OTY
the sailors. I wrote about It to Mon-
Bletir do Sabron, nnd ho nnswered mo
from tho desert, the night before he
went Into battle."
"And t! at's all?" urged Madame do
la Maine.
"That's all," said Miss Redmond.
Sho drank her coffee.
"You tell a lovo story very badly,
ma chero." ,
"Is It a love story?"
"Have you como to Africa for char
ity? Voyons!"
Julln wns silent. A great reserve
seemed to bcIzo her honrt, to stlflo
her as the poverty of her love story
struck her. Sho sat turning her coffee-spoon
between her fingers, her
eyes downcast. She had ver" llttlo
to tell. Sho might never have any
moro to tell. Yet this was her lovo
story. Hut tho presence of Sabron
was so real, and she saw his eyes
clearly looking upon her as she had
Been them often; heard' tho sound of
his volco that meant but one thing
nnd tho words of his letter came back
to hor. Sho remembered her letter
to him, rescued from tho field where
ho had fallen. Sho raised hor eyes to
tho Comtesso do la Maine, and there
was an appeal In them.
Tho Frenchwoman leaned over nnd
klBsed Julia. Sho asked nothing more.
Sho hnd not learned her lessons In
discretion to no purpose.
At night thoy sat out In the moon
light, whlto as day, nnd tho radiance
ovor tho sands wns llko tho snow
flowers. Wrapped In their wnrm cov
erings, Julia and Thercso do In Malno
lny on the rugs boforo the door of
tholr tent, nnd nbovc their heads
Bhono tho stars bo low that It seemed
as though their hands could snatch
them from tho sky. At a little dis
tance their servants sat around tho
dying flro, and there came to them tho
plaintive song of Azraol, as ho led
tholr singing:
And who can glvo again tho love of yes
terday? Can n whirlwind replace tho sand after It
Is scattarcd?
What can heal tho heart that Allah has
smitten?
Can tho mirage form ngaln when there
aro no oyes to sco?
"I wnB married," Bald Madamo do la
Malno, "when I was sixteen."
Julia drow a llttlo nearer and smiled
to horficlf In tho Bhndow.
This would bo a renl love story.
"I had just como out of tho con

rude.
"Throughout our childhood, until I
was sixteen, wo teased each other
and fought nnd quarreled."
"This la not n love-affair, Thercso,"
said Mlsa Redmond.
"Thero aro all kinds, ma chero, as
thero aro all temperaments," said
Madamo do la Malno. "At Assump

Julia put out hor hand and took tho
nana or Madamo do la Malno gently.
Sho wns getting wo far from a lovo
uffalr,
"I married Monsieur do la Malno In
six weeks," said Thercso.
"Oh," breathed MIbs Redmond, "hor

Madamo do la Malno pressed Julia's
hand.
"Whon U was decided between my
grandmothor and tho comto, I escaped
at night, aftor thoy thought I had gono
to bed. and 1 went down to tho lower
terraco whero the weeds grew In
plenty, and told Robert. Somehow, I
did not expect him to mako fun, al
though wo always Joked about every
thing until this night. It was after
nine o'clock."
Tho comtesso swept ono hand to
ward tho desert. "A moon like this

was never but that moon to mo for
many years.
"I thought at first that Dob would
kill me he grew so whlto and terrible.
Ho seemed suddenly to have aged ten
years. I will never forgot tils cry as It
rang out In tho night. 'You will marry
that old man when wo love each oth
er?' I had never known It until then.
"We were only children, but ho
grow suddenly old. I knew It then,"
said Madame do la Maine intensely, "I
know it then."
She waited for a Ion time. Over
tho faco of tho desert there seemed to
bo nothing but one veil of light. Tho
silence grow so Intenne, so deep; tho
Arabs had stopped singing, but the
heart fairly echoed, and Julia grew
meditative before her oyea tho cara
van she waited for seemtid to como out
of tho moonlit mist, rocking, rocking
the camels and tho huddled figure's of
tho riders, their shadown cast upon the
sand.
And now Tremont would be forever
changed In her mind. A man who had
suffered from his youth, a warm-hearted
boy, defrauded of his early love. It
seemed to her that ho was a charming
figure to lead Sabron.
"Thcrese," she murmured, "won't
you tell me?"
"They thought I had gone to hod,"
said tho Comtesso do la Maine, "and 1
went back to my room by a little stair
case, seldom used, nnd I found myself
alone, and I knew what life was and
what It meant to bo poor."
"But," interrupted Julia, horrified,
'girls nre not sold In the twentieth
century."
"Thoy arc sometlmoB in France, my
dear. Robert was only seventeen. Hli
father laughed at him, threatened to
send him to South America. Wo wers
victims."
"It was the harvest moon," con
tinued Madamo do la Maine gently,
"and It Bhono on us every night until
my wedding day. Then tho duke kept
his threat and sent Robert out ol
France. Ho continued his studies In
Englnnd nnd went Into tho army of
Africa."
There was a sllenco again.
"I did not seo him until last year,"
Bald Madamq do la Malno, "after my
husband died."
CHAPTER XXIV.
The Meeting.
Under tho sun, under tho starrj
nights Tremont, with his burden, Jour
neyed toward the north. Tho halts
were distasteful to him, nnd although
he was forced to rest ho would rather
havo been cursed with sleeplessness
and havo journeyed on .and on. He
rodo his camel llko a Bedouin; ho grew
brown llko the Bedouins nnd under the
hot breezes, swaying on his desert
ship, ho sank into drenmy, moody and
melancholy reveries, like tho wander
ing men of tho Sahara, and felt him
self part of the desolation, as they
wore.
"What will be, will bo!" Hammet
Abou said to him a hundred times, and
Tremont wondered: "Will Charles live
to see Algiers?"
Sabron Journeyed In a litter carried
between six mules, and thoy traveled
slowly, slowly. Tremont rodo by tho
sick man's sldo day after day. Not
onco did tho soldier for nny length of
time regain his reason. Ho would pass
from coma to delirium, and many
times Tremont thought ho had ceased
to breathe. Slender, emaciated under
his covers, Sabron lay like tho image
of a soldier In wax a wounded man
carried aa a votlvo offering to tho
altars of desert warfare.

BORER VERY INJURIOUS TO PEACH TREES I
Tho Two Upper Illustrations Show the
Lower the Peach
(Dy J. B. SMITH.)
In tho form In which It Is most fa
miliar to tho grower, tho peach-treo
borer la a whlto, grubllko caterpillar
with a yellowish or brownish shield
llko head, which lives and feeds in tho
tree trunks at or Just below tho sur
faco of tho ground, and makes irregu
lar galleries or chambers Just beneath
tho bark, from which gum nnd sap
oozo out to form conspicuous masses.
Theso borers may bo found at almost
all periods during tho summer, but
nro usually very small In lato summer
or fall and become an inch to an inch
and a half in length In early summer.
The parents of this borer belong to
tho clear-wing moths and aro rarely
recognized or even seen by the peach
grower. Tho male Is a stunning slender
steel-blue, wasplike creature with two
pairs of transparent wings marked
with black and yellow scales, and the
abdomen Is narrowly banded with yel
low. It expands about an Inch when
tho wings aro fully spread. Tho fe
male is decidedly larger und stouter,
deep blue, except for a broad orange
band around tho mtddlo of tho ab
domen, tho hind wings only trans
parent. Theso moths aro not con
spicuous at any time, never lly much
except under stress of necessity, and
aro uaually seen on tho trees early In
tho morning. Thoy uaually begin to
appear in tho orchards during the last
days of Juno until tho early days of
September. Tho individuals coming
out in lato Juno or early July do not
live until September, but new speci
mens continue to appear during the
interval mentioned. Tho life of the
individual moth Is short, only a few
day at most; but during that period
it is capable of maturing and placing
from 500 to GOO eggs.
Thero is no Insecticide application
thus far known that can bo relied
upon to kill borers onco in tho tree.
No poison will penetrate tho gummy
covering or natural protection of tho
Insect so as to kill the larvao without
PLAN TO CONTROL
THE HESSIAN FLY
For Best Results All Farmers
Should Co-Operate and Make
Concerted Fight.
(By G. A. DEAN, Kansas Station.)
Disk tho stubblo immediately after
harvest in ordor to control tho Hes
sian fly. This not only conserves tho
molsturo and makes plowing easier,
but also starts tho growth of tho vol
unteer wheat and has a tendency to
bring about tho early emergence of
tho fly. In many cases tho disking
pulls out tho stubble and exposes tho
flaxseeds to unusual climatic condi
tions, which aro fatal to many ot them.
About throe or four weeks after disk
ing, tho ground should bo plowed to a
depth of at least six Inches and all
Btubblo and volunteer wheat burled
under at least threo Inches of soil. By
means of this practically all tho flies
will bo burled and it will bo Imposslblo
for thorn to reach tho aurfaco. Im
mediately aftor plowing tho ground
Bhould bo reflrmcd and worked Into a
good seed bed. It Bhould also bo kept
mellow and frco from all woods and
volunteer wheat. Tho agronomy de
partment of tho experiment station
has shown that, whero tho ground is
prepared in this manner, not only does
it produco tho maximum yields, but
tho crop may bo planted with safety
later In tho season. Delay tho planting
of tho crop until tho fly-freo date,
which after eight years of experiment
al sowings hns been determined to bo
from October 1 for the north lino of
tho stato to October 12 for tho south
lino.
In avorago years, with proper prep
aration of tho seed bed, tho dato of
Bafo sowing Is at least as early as tho
dato on which wheat should bo sown
to mako a maximum yield If no fly
woro present.
For tho beat rcaults in tho control
of Hessian fly. nil farmers should so

danger of Injuring tho tree Hot wa
ter comes nearest to doing this, and
whero only a few trees aro to bo pro
tected, occasional applications of wa
ter at a temperature of not over 175
degrees will sorve to keep tho trees
free, If tho protecting exudations of
gum aro first removed.
In an infested orchard the earth
should bo removed from around tho
baao of tho trees to a depth of six or
eight inches and every sign of a wound
should bo carefully examined. This
should he done lato in tho fall. Whero
chips are mingled with tho exuding
gum, a borer Is almost always present.
Theso should be killed, If possible by
probing tho wound with a stiff wire,
leave tho baao of the trunks exposed
no longer than noccasary at this pe
riod. In drawing up tho soil against
tho trunk bring tho clean soli Into di
rect contact with tho cut or wounded
surfaces. Again in lato spring tho
nbovo process should be repeated.
Lcnvo tho baao of tho trees expoaed
thus for a few days, and then spray
very thoroughly with a lime-sulphur-arsenate
of lead mixture to which an
excess of lime has been added. Use
ono pound of pasta arsenate of lead to
every fivo gallons of lime-sulphur, or
ono pound of dry arsenate to every
ten gallons of lime-sulphur and apply
with all tho force possible to the ex
posed trunk of tho tree for a distance
of 18 to 24 Inches above tho surface.
Then after the application is thorough
ly dry, cover and hill up at least six
inches above tho surface.
In an orchard carefully looked ovor

looked, and thero will bo no early
moths except such as may como on
from outside. The toughened bark
covered with limo is not likely to bo
attractive to the moths.
Onco an orchard has been put into
thoroughly good condition by a year
or two of this practice, tho future
years will bo easy.
HOW TO KEEP THE
TURKEYS HEALTHY
Best and Cheapest Ail-Around
Remedy and Preventive Is
the "Douglas Mixture."
Tho best and cheapest all-around
remedy and prevontlvo of disease In
turkoys Is tho "Douglas mixture." It
Is also a good disinfectant, and is so
cheap that it may bo freely used in
coops, buildings or on porches.
Tho formula is as follows: Ono
pound copperas; ono ounce sulphuric
acid (oil of vitriol) ; two gallons ot wa
ter. Glvo one teaspoonful to a quart
of drinking water. It should not bo
given continually, but onco or twice a
week.
It la as good a remedy as Is needed
for roup, but If tho turkeys' quarters
aro kopt clean and dry tho mlxturo
need only bo given as a preventive.
Another preventive of that dread
disease, roup, is to smudge the tur
koys occasionally with sulphur fumes,
but they must ot be subjected to tho
fumes for more than a few seconds
at a tlmo or the fumes will kill them.

(Dy T. E. IlAKEn, Vctorlnnrlan, Idaho

A pig weighing 150 pounds will

whero tho profits go when "hogs don't

It is worso than usoles3 to dopo tho

First burn all tho looso, dry straw,

Story of a Man Who Was Mak
ing Good, but Roving Fever,
Got the Best of Him.
On May 4th, 1915, tho St. Paul Farm
er's Dispatch contained a very inter
esting account of tho experiences of a
man from Staples, Minn. Realizing
that ho was not making much head
way, ho decided to look up a home
stead in Canada. With $250 ho and
his wlfo took up a homestead near
Outlook, Saskatchewan. Aftor recount
ing his experiences of a few yoara, in
which they had undergone hardships
which wero likely to bo unavoidable,
with a small amount of capital, ha
continues tho story by stating that
in tho fall aftor a fair summer's work
on his 100 acres cropped, ho cleaned
up nearly all his dobts, having now
four good horses, a complete set ot
farm machinery Including two wagons
and a "Swell" top buggy and eleven
head of cattle. Ho continues, "How
over, I was not satisfied. I had been
reading of tho splendid homesteads
that were to bo had in Montana.
Wheat was cheap nnd I thought it
would get cheaper, so I began to think
that homcstcading as a moneymaking
proposition was better than farming.
I did not stop to consider that wheat
was not tho only thing; as a matter
of fact I had sold pork for 14 cents a
pound. Eggs and butter had kept us
in groceries and moro, wo had now
four milch cows, two heifers coming in
and moro growing up. Wo had a cream
separator, and somo hogs. Wo had a
quarter section of land that could
raise an abundance of small grain,
roots and grass for feed, but I could
not seo all that; I had the 'moving'
fever, and decided to sell.
I set tho price on the land at $3,000
cash. I could not find anyone with
that much money, however, so I camo
down until I finally sold for $1,400.
We had an auction and sold tho per
sonal property. On tho sale wo got
Just about enough cash to pay tho auc
tioneer; tho rest was all notes.
The horses brought about two-thirds
what they wero worth. The imple
ments sold for hardly one-third of
what they had cost. Tho cattle
brought a good prlco.
Must Mako Another Start.
Wo nw have a homestead In Mon
tana, but we And that after moving;
here and getting settled, what monoy
we had did not go far. Wo have three
horses, about all tho Implements we
need, and a little better buildings
than wo had on our former place. Wo
havo no cattle, though we had to build
much fenco to keep ranch stock out
of our fields. Wo havo about ?ij00
worth of honest debts.
True, wo have a half section in
place of a quarter, but that is no good
to us, as long as we have not the
capital with which to work it.
In summarizing it all up I see whero
I mado my mistake. It will take fully
five years to get into as good circum
stances as wo wero before we made
the change. It Is fivo years lost.
My advice to anyono contemplat
ing a change of location is to think
twice before you act, and if your pres
ent circumstances are not too bad,,
'stay by your bush till you pick it
clean.' " Advertisement.
Beating the Bakers.
"Oh, I am almost tired to death!"
said the woman who spends half her
time addressing club meetings. "Our
political economy club has been in
session all day passing resolutions
and drawing up petitions demanding

Only think! Three dollars' worth of
flour costs, when baked Into bread,
