1 < . CHAPTER XII—Continued —17— A letter from the Count of Yor <ck afforded ns Infinite pleasure and deserves to he set out In full: Dear Helena: I hope you are very well. I am not at Yorick because I was bitten by a mad dog and a good Sammarry tone brought me straight here. I would like to thank him for that. He saved my life, you know. Fancy a mad dog worrying me. I think I must just have gone out for a walk or something and then it just leeped upon me and worried me and I knew no moar. And this is the only one place that I could have been saved from going mad. It makes you get hot all over. By the way, I’m off liquor. Alcohol, I mean. They make me heeling drinks here with virtue In them and I fairly lapp them up. And the wound's heeling like a lit tle child. They say liquor's very dangerous for hlderofobea. I nearly •died, you know. All the wile the good Sammarrytones were taking me to the monastery, It was touch and go moar than once. The madness was in my vanes. It makes you go hot. But I'm all right now. They say I can get up for a little wile on Sunday and look at the flours. I shall like that. I see the vannity of life now all right. There is a good monk here called Father Bernard. Of course, they are all good, but he is the best. He says all is van nity and that the pumps of the world are void. You know there’s a lot in that. Well, 1 must end now. But I thought you might wunder where I was. What a escape! Fancy a mad dog like that ranging about seaking whom he might devower. I tell you, I hadn't a chance. He just leeped upon me, nashing their fangs. I can see it now. Your loving brother, VALENTINE. P. S. What about Fanlng? I rather i^upe he’s gone. If not, perhaps you could fire him out. He swore Spen cer was your evil genie, but I thought Spencer had a good eye. Sour grapes, I guess. I suppose you knew what you were doing. The reformation this letter fore shadowed was more than we could believe, but I am bound to record that it was fairly fulfilled. The shock or the fear of death, or. per haps, his curious communion with that honest and kindly fellowship simple souls wrought in the count an astonishing change of heart. The weeds that had choked his qualities withered and died, and though I was most apprehensive of our relation, 24 hours' acquaint ance had made us the best of friends. His postscript brings me to Pha raoh. Of that unconscionable scoundrel I have but little to say. That the man was most swift and daring I •cannot deny, but I think that his deadly reputation was to him the highwayman’s mare. Carefully fed and cherished, it was this that carried him into and out of en gagements without a scratch: but when at last he was standing upon his own feet, even I was able to show that, if his eye was quicker, at least his spine was as brittle as that of another man. For all that, he was bold and efficient—and something more. Ill served, dogged by misfortune, he nevertheless con trived almost to wring a victory out of defeat. So far as I know, he only made one mistake—and that was to kill young Florin: so far as I know, he had hut one slice of luck —and that was. on binding Helena, to find that she had in her hand her master key. The portrait m.v cousin had paint ed will always rank for me as one of the greatest triumphs a painter ever achieved. This is not because he had rendered a beautiful like ness, nor yet because he had cap tured the leaping spirit that lived In the lovely flesh; but because he had marked, as I had, that the pre cious eager look .vas out of his sub ject's face and had painted It In from memory out of a grateful heart. Though m.v life is secure and happy beyond belief, the events of those terrible days are cut in stone upon my mind. But 1 would not for get them, if 1 could: for out of their wrack and turmoil 1 won m.v beau tiful wife. Often and often l read their grim Inscription and gaze at the riotous pageant which this calls up. I see that dreadful labor down In the sparkling dell and Dewdrop finger the paper that I let fall: 1 trend The Reaping Hook’s stairs and I hear—as 1 shall hear to m.v dying day—the deadly voice of IMia raoh behind the door: I see him enter the room with Valentine’s hand upon his shoulder and I hear him whistling for Sabre with m.v heart In my month: i hear the Together, Saving Each Other, We Rode Out That Frightful Storm. Carlotta coming with the rush of a mighty wind, and I hear the cough of the Rolls as her engine failed: I hear Rush plying Bugle to make my blood run cold, I hear Pharaoh bullying Freda, and I see the flame of the pistol that saved his life; I see the awful change in my darling’s face, and I turn to see Pharaoh smiling behind my back: I smell the fragrance of the valley that knew no sun: and I see her stricken and trembling in Pharaoh's power, and I hear the roar of our pistols and I see the man spent with hatred, staring into my eyes. . . . It is written, Out of the eater came forth meat. I can only say ! have found this saying most true. The goddess Aphrodite rose from the foam of the sea: but Helena Spencer came out of the wrath of a tempest that had risen to smite us both. Together, saving each other, we rode out that frightful storm—the remembrance of which is not grievous, for our desperately perilous passage, side by side, has bound us more closely together than the sharing of any joys.

Honeymoon Mountain | BEGIN IT IN THE NEXT ISSUE Who Are You? The Romance of Your Name By RUBY HASKINS ELLIS A Coleman? THIS name is found in England as early as A. D. 664, on the northeast coast. The first-mentioned bearer of the name was a celebrat ed Scotch Bishop of Eindisfarne. This Bishop, in consequence of a heated controvery, retired from his church and built three monasteries in different parts of the country. Another devout member of the fam ily was a crusader to the Holy Eand and was slain in Austria. He be came a patron saint of that coun try In 1015, and the eighteenth of October Is still noted on the Homan calendar as the Memorial day of the martyr. It is Interesting to know that there is an Important street in the city of London which has borne the name of Coleman since time Immemorial. Oqe of the first of the Coleman family to come to America was Thomas, who spelled the name “Coultman." He was born In 1602 in Wiltshire, England. He came over on the good ship James, ar riving In Boston, Mass., 1635. He was married three times nnd left a long line of descendants. His tirst 4$*A*m*p wife was Mnry (surname unknown); his second wife was Mary Johnson, and the third was Mary Rowell. His three brothers, Edward, Sam uel and William, were also early arrivals In this country. Other Colemans caine at later times. Joseph came from County Kent, England, and settled in Scitu ate, Mass., in 1635. William Cole man and his wife, Elizabeth, came on the ship Arabella in 1071. Their son, Benjamin, became a noted min ister and was a director of Har vard university for 50 years. The coat of arms above shown Is ascribed to William Coleman (1673), of Massachusetts. • • • A Hay? THE legend surrounding the ori gin of this name is that, during the reign of Kenneth III of Scotland about the year 980 the Danes, hav ing Invaded the country, were met by the Monarch near Loncarty, in Perthshire. At first the Scots gave way and fled through a narrow pass, where they were stopped by a countryman of great strength and courage, with his two sons and no weapons other than the yokes of their plows. Severely reprimanding the fugitives for their cowardice, he succeeded in rallying them. The battle was renewed and the Danes put to flight. After the victory was won, the old man lying on the ground, wounded, cried out, “Hay! Hay!” and this word became the name of his posterity. The king, as a reward to Hay, gave him as much land in the dis trict of Gow'rle as a falcon could /\ fly over before It settled. The fal con flew over six miles In length and lighted on a stone which wad called Falconstone. The motto of the family Is “Serva jugum,” meaning “keep the yoke.” The crest of arms was also granted to the rustic Scot by King Kenneth. The land over which the falcon flew was later called Errol and was the home of the Hays, Earls or Errol, for generations. Hays In America settled in Mas sachusetts and Connecticut.

Delayed Pruning Halts Grape Loss Full Extent of Damage Must Be Known to Aid in a Larger Field. By A. S. Colby. Chief in Small Fruit Culture, Univereity of Illinois.—WNU Service. Certain varieties of grape vines have been so hard bit by the severe winter that pruning this spring should be delayed until the full ex tent of the damage can be told and the vines pruned accordingly. Any vines on which the fruit buds have not been killed, If properly pruned, can be made to yield twice what they otherwise would. The grower should look upon hts vines as separate Individuals, and after allowing for gradations In vigor resulting from Insects and diseases, soli differences and weath er conditions should handle the vines In such a way that vine growth and yield of well-matured clusters are balanced yearly. Results of studies with Concord grapes showed that IT most of Inst season’s shoots were too short and too weak to produce laterals, the vine was pruned too lightly the previous season. That Is, too many nodes were left. If the shoots were so vigorous that they pro duced an excessive amount of lat eral growth, too many nodes had been removed the previous winter. The grower therefore should strike the balance between these two extremes by leaving enough nodes at pruning time so that vig orous shoots will grow for the fol lowing year’s crop, while at the same time enough fruit Is allowed to grow and mature for the cur rent season. However, these shoots should not be vigorous enough to send out many side branches or lat erals. From 50 to 70 nodes to the vine usually will be enough under normal conditions. It also Is Important Mint nodes he left on either four or six canes, rather than on a large number of short spurs. It has been found that the best fruiting buds are found on those canes from the fourth to the twelfth node. Hence most of the best fruit will he re moved and the vines will run to wood If they are “spur pruned.” Several well-matured canes at least as large as a lead pencil should be left with from 12 to 15 nodes on each cane. The number will de pend upon the previous growth of the plant and the size and quality of the crop. Why Some Forage Plants Cause Death of Animals A few good forage plants are known to be cyanophoric at some time in their growth. That is, they contain compounds that decompose to liberate hydrocyanic acid (prus sic acid). When these plants are associated with sudden death among animals that eat of them, it is commonly assumed that such fa talities are the result of cyanide poisoning, says a writer in Success ful Farming. Some of the suggested antidotes for cyanide poisoning seem to be marvelously effective. Their use by experienced veterinary practition ers Is to be recommended in cases of sudden and violent Intoxication in which cyanophoric plants are in volved. It Is not, however, to be concluded that because animals re vive after such treatment for cyan ide poisoning that the case of ill ness was in every Instance the re sult of cyanide poisoning. In oth er words, the recognition of a dis ease on the basis of recovery after a specific treatment Is not usually a safe way to decide as to the cause. Abundance of hydrocyanic acid in the feed or stomach con tents must be found before one can be certain that cyanide is a cause of Illness. In cases of death it must also be found In the vital organs. Fertilizer for the Pasture A fertilizer containing both nitro gen and phosphate should be used for the establishment of a new bluegrass pasture. If the soil is me dium or above In fertility, says the Missouri Farmer, 200 pounds of 4-12-4 or 4-1G-4 fertilizer, or 100 pounds of sodium nitrate plus 200 pounds of 20 per cent superphos phate should be applied. On soils below medium in fertility, 400 pounds of superphosphate should be applied if a good bluegrass pas ture is desired. Lime should be added to those soils known to be very acid at the rate of one ton of agricultural limestone or 400 pounds of fine lime per acre. No attempts should be made to establish Ken tucky bluegwass on the poorer soils. Water for Horses For idle horses there is no rea son why water should not be kept before them at all times. In fact, this Is the practice during the sum mer when horses are out on pas ture. The difficulty comes with working horses, who when they come in from heavy work are like ly to overdrink, with the result ing danger of founder. Under most conditions, therefore, It Is prob ably safer to water horses at fixed periods, so that the amounts may be controlled than to allow them free access to unlimited water.
