What consciousness was left in him
was ebbing swiftly; he saw black,
fathomless right about him and the
eu-th seemed slipping from under his
feet.
A voice dragged him back into life •
—a voice that boom. d in his ears like
rolling thunder and set every fiber
:n him quivering with emotion. He
drew himself erect with the involun

last spasm of death and as they

there within an arm's reach of him
the great, living face of Strang gloat
ing at him as If frem out of a mist—
red eyed, white fanged. filled with the
v* ngefulness of a beast.
The great voice rumbled in his ears
again.
"Take that man to the dungeon!”
CHAPTER X.
Winnsome’s Verdict of Death.
The voice—the condemning words
—followed Nathaniel as he staggered
on between his two guards; it haunted
“I'm used to It, Nat. Been here be
fore,” he said. "Can you get up?
There's a bench over here—not Jong
enough to stretch you out on or J
would have made you a bed of It, but
It’s better than this mud to sit on."
He put his arms about Nathaniel
and helped him to his feet. For a few
moments the wounded man stood with
out moving.
"I'm not very bad, I guess,” he said,
taking a slow step. "Where Is the
seat, Nell? I’m going to walk to it
What sort of a bump have I got on the
head?"’ ^
“Nothing much,” assured Neil.
"Suspicious, though," he grinned
cheerfully. “Looks as though you
were running and somebody came up.
and tapped you from behind!”
Nathaniel's strength returned to
him quickly. The pain had gone from
his head nnd his eyes no longer hurt
him. In the dim candle-light he could
distinguish the four walls of the dun
gcon, glistening with the water and
mold that reeked from between their
rotting logs. The floor was of wet.
sticky earth which clung to his boots,
and the air that he breathed filled his
::o«tri!s and throat with the uncom
fortable thickness of a night fog at
sea. Through it the candle burned in
a misty halo. Near the candle, which
stood on a shelf-like table against one
of the walls, was a big dish which
caught Nathaniel's eyes.
"What's that?” he asked, pointing
toward it.
“Grub," replied Nell. "Hungry?"
He went to the table and got the
plate of food. There were chunks of
boiled meat, ur.buttered' bread and
cold potatoes. For several minutes
they ate In silence. Now that Na
thaniel was himself again Neil could
no longer keep up his forced spirits.
Both realized that they had played
their game and that It had ended In
defeat. And each believed that it was
his Individual power to alleviate to
some extent the other's misery. To
Neil what was ahead of them held no
mystery. A few hours more and then
—death. It was only the form In
which It would come that troubled
him. that made him think. Usually
the victims of this dungeon cell were
shot. Sometimes they were hanged.
But why tell Nathaniel? So he ate
Strang Was Alive.
■ Jim still as the cold chill of the rot
J Gng dungeon walls struck In his face;
I it remained with him as he stood
swaying in the thick gloom—the voice
rumbling in hls ears, the words beat
ing against bis brain until the shock
, of them sickened him, until he stretch
ed out his arms and there fell from
him such a cry as had never tor
i tured his lips before.
Strang was alive! He had left the
spark of life in him, and the woman
who loved him had fanned It back into
1 full flame.
Strang was alive! And Marion—
Marlon was his wife!
The voice of the king taunted him
from the black chaos that hid the
1 dur.geon walls The words struck at
him, filling hls bead with shooting
pain, and he tottered back and sank
to the ground to get away from them.
They followed, and that vengeful leer
of the king was behind them, urging
i them on, until they beat his face into
1 the sticky earth, and smothered him
into what he thought was death.
There came rest after that, a long
silent rest. When Nathaniel slowly
climbed up out of the ebon shadows
again the first consciousness that
came tc him w as that the word-demons
had stopped their beating against hi3
brain and that he no longer heard
the voice of the king. Hls relief was
so great that he breathed a restful
sigh. Something touched him then.
Great God! were they coming back?
Were they still there—waiting—wait
ing—
It was a wonderfully familiar voice 1
that spoke to him.
"Hello there, Nat! Want a drink?"
He gulped eagerly at the cool liquid
that touched his lips.
“Neil,” he whispered.
“It's me, Nat. They chucked me in
with you. Hell’s hole. Isn’t It?”
Nathaniel sat up, Neil’s strong arm
at bis back. There was a light In the
room now«and he could see hls com
panion's face, smiling at him encour
agingly. The sight of It was like an
eHxir to him. He drank again and
new life coursed through him.
“Yes—hell of a bole!” he repeated
drowfclly. “Sorry for you—Nell—"
and he seemed to sleep again.
Nell laughed as Be wiped hla com
panion's face with a wet doth.
his meat and bread without words,
waiting for the other to speak, as the
other waited for him. And Nathaniel,
on his part, kept to himself the secret
of Marion's fate. After they had done
with the meat and the bread and the
cold potatoes he pulled out his be
loved pipe and filled it with the last
scraps of his tobacco, and as the
fumes of it clouded round his head,
soothing him in its old friendship, he
told of his fight with Strang and his
killing of Arbor Croche.
“I’m glad for Wlnnsome’s sake,”
said Nell, after a moment. “Oh, if
you’d only killed Strang!”
Nathaniel thought of what Marion
had said to him in the forest
“Nell,” he said quietly, "do you
know that Winnsome loves you—not
as the little girl whom you toted
about on your shoulders—but as a
woman? Do you know that?” In the
other’s silence he added: “When 1 last
S"aw Marion she sent this message to
you—’Tell Neil that he must go, for
Winnsome's sake. Tell him that her
fate is shortly to be as cruel as mine
—tell him that Winnsome loves him
and that she will escape and come to
him on the mainland.' ” Like words
of fire they had burned themselves in
his brain and as Nathaniel repeated
them he thought of that other broken
heart that had sobbed out its anguish
to him in the castle chamber. “Neil,
a man can die easier when he knows
that a woman loves him!”
He had risen to his feet and was
walking back and forth through the
thick gloom.
“I’m glad!” Neil's voice came to
him softly, as though be scarcely
dared to speak the words aloud. After
a moment he added: “Have you got
a pencil, Nat? I would like to leave
a little note for Winnsome.”
Nathaniel found both pencil and
paper in one of his pockets and Neil
dropped upon bis knees In the mud
beside the table. Ten minutes later
be turned to Nathaniel and a great
change had come into bis face.

GOATS MAKE MONEY
;
! How to Select Right Kind of
Breed of Animals.
_
j Angoras Not Good as Milk Producers
and Animals From Pyrenees Are
i V Considered Best—Millanaise
Is Leader.
Los Angeles, Cal —Mrs. M. Z. Wat
! rous writes as follows concerning the
goat industry:
The following facts relative to the
keeping of goats for profit were oh
, t.lined directly from owners; per
sons not merely supporting pets, but
j gaining either an abundance of rich
milk and cream for theta- own use or
; else an entire living from the sale of
j these greatly desired commodities.
Of course, there are different kinds
of goats, at various prices, and the
first thing a beginner should deter
mine is exactly or approximately how
much he Is willing to pay for an ani
mal and how much he expects to
make on his investment.
In this country milk Is the fore
most—in most cases the exclusive—
1 consideration In the keeping of goats,
1 and this will be the only profit esti
mated In this article. Therefore, the
intending purchaser who wants to
make money should not waste It on a
j large number of Inferior animals, each
i of which gives only two or three l
| quarts of milk a day. yet consumes,
as a herd, more than one-third or one
fourth what the same number of first
i class milchers would. Buy, if possi
ble, from some one who imports goats,
i There are three such persons in Cali
fornia; one in Pasadena, another in
Santa Monica, and a third in San
Jose. Remember one thing; no mat
ter what may be said in praise of An
; goras, they are not the goats for milk.
As importation is a tedious process
i —because the goats are held in quar
antine for six months at New York
—those who furnish the money for
that purpose order only the best
breeds, and they are the persons
j whose advice should be heeded. It
! will be economical to pay for instruc
| tion by letter from such If an Inter
j view be out of the question, as there
| is nothing like starting aright In a
i business.
|
The Millanaise from the Pyrenees
are the best goats of all. They can
be bought In Switzerland for five to
ten dollars apiece, but by the time
New York is done with them we have
to pay $145 for each one; but none
furnish less than a gallon of milk a
day, while some give six quarts or
even two gallons. Then, too, this
beauty presents its owner with four
kids at a time instead of only one or
two, as an ordinary goat does. An
other thing, the common variety, and
even most of the Angoras, have an un
pleasant odor; the very milk of the
Mexican animal smells rather strong;
but the hlgh-breds of foreign extrac
tion are never offensive. They are
cleanly in every respect
Prices run down from the high mark
mentioned to as low as $10 or less
per goat; but a new-born kid of the
high class kind will bring $10; $40
for the quartet of one birth, as against
one or two dollars apiece for the
twins of Angora babies.
The Togganburg is a good goat, too; j
it supplies from six to eight quarts
of milk a day. So is the Schwartzai
a desirable breed, but still the Mil- I
lanaise is considered the leader.
One man who keeps 20 Swiss. 75
of the better Mexican and a few (five
cr ten) of the ordinary goats, aver
ages 60 gallons of milk daily, which
he readily sells for medicinal pur
poses at one dollar a gallon to an un
failing market.
The idea that these beasts eat any
trash they may happen to find Is not
only false, hut foolisu. It is hardly
likely that the rich fluid so prized as
a llfe-sustainer Is. after ail, but a
roundabout product from tin cans or
a new production from old papers or
even a refinement of briars and this
tles. As with chickens, so with goats. I
If we expect them to feed us whole
somely we must first feed them de
cently. Their proper food is. of
course, nature's fresh grasses, but as
these are not always available, other
things must te substituted.
Here Is vrhat one woman feeds her
two goats that have each given two
quarts of milk a day for a year—
when nine months’ regular milking is
thought good: Alfalfa during the
morning, a pint of rolled barley at
noon for each, a bran mash in the eve
ning and a little oat hay to pick at
during the night. Also salt occasion
ally.
Though they do not eat rubbish,
gcats are not sticklers for scenery,
and a pile of stones, bits of rock, or
broken pieces of flag-paving delight
them, as they are naturally destruc
tive. and can work off some of their
activity on these hard things. It ia
said that the creatures live longer if
allowed the free range of stony places.
As goat's milk sells for 25 cents a
quart, and as no goat gives less than
two quarts daily, it Is not difficult to
calculate how much may be counted
as profit from a given number of ani
mals after the cost of their feed Is
deducted.
FARM PAYS IN PHILIPPINES
American Who Started on Small
Scale in Islands is Rapidly
Growing Wealthy.
Manila.—Three years ego an Amer
ican landed in Manila with a capital
of $75 and a theory. The American
was J. H. Christen, the capital was
cash and the theory was that any
able-bodied man with the right stuff
in him could make more than a bare
living out of God's green earth,
coupled with steady, hard work. Ir
respective of country, people or cli
mate. There were plenty of people
here to tell him. both in an official
and unofficial capacity, that farming
on a small scale and without capital
was impossible for a foreigner in the
Philippine Islands, but Christen stuck
to his theory, and as a result has a
property valued at more than $5,000,
which Is now beginning to yield “vel
vet," as the saying Is. The story of
Mr. Christen's success is interesting
in that it shows some of the difficul
ties that the American pioneer in the
agricultural field over here has to con
tend with.
Mr. Christen first took up a home
stead of forty acres, the limit allowed
by law, on the Polillo river. In Rizal
Province. He built a house with his
own hands and planted out crops of
garden truck. The crops were com
ing along nicely when a flood of Oc
tober 25, 1907, devastated the sur
rounding country and ruined every
plant on his place. Instead of giving
up, then and there, as many others
would have done, Mr. Christen made |
an application to the bureau of lands
to have his homestead rights trans- !
ferred to another tract of land, and
the application being granted, he
moved to a tract on Taim Island, In
Rizal Province, situated in Cuso Can
yon. He chose this locality because
the hills surrounding It seemed to of
fer good protection from the ele- i
ments.
During the first year he worked on 1
an average sixteen hours each day
and lived on the products of his land j
only. When he began his enterprise j
he weighed 219 pounds. At the end
of a year he weighed only 160. But 1
he had at least something to show
for his labors. His rooster and hen
had Increased to a Sock of more than
a hundred chickens, and he had sev
eral acres under cultivation which
promised to yield good results. The
second year's work was not so hard,
and the yield of his first crops was
put right back into the farm, in the
shape of additional live stock, im
ported seeds and plants and general
improvements.
Now. at the end of three years, Mr.
Christen has 700 chickens, a number
of ducks, guinea fowls, turkeys, hogs,
rabbits and goats, and more than 5,
000 producing plants. Among these
plants are 1,500 clusters of banana
trees, yielding some choice market
varieties, 50 orange and lemon trees,
1,500 kapoc trees, 1.000 Hawaiian
papaya trees and 75 para rubber
trees, besides beds of almost every |
variety of garden truck.
SAYING “S” VERY STRAINING
New York Women Would Make It
"Z” Because Sibilant Sound Make*
Throats and Necks Ugly.
New York.—The Woman's Profes
sional league, a New York society of
business women, has decided that if I
all the “s’s” in the English language
were ’‘z’s" then every woman's throat !
would be a perfectly smooth, round, ;
and slender column. It is the member
of the alphabet which causes a hiss
ing sound that works havoc with fair
throats. This is their statement of j
the situation:
“Every time one pronounces the ;
letter ‘s’ the muscles of the neck are
drawn up and wrinkles come. More
necks are spoiled by this single ,
crooked, hissing letter than by any |
amount of dissipation and neglect. |
Women should avoid it all they can j
by using ‘z,’ thus making the hoi- j
lows in the neck fill out, wrinkles
disappear and the throat round out
and become smooth and beautiful.
"Buzz V whenever you are alone.
If you cannot say the exercise out
loud, think Vs’ and the effect will
be almost the same.”
RARE OLD PAPERS EXHIBITED
Ayer Collection of Bocks and Maps
Worth $400,000 Are Presented to
Newberry Library.
Chicago.—The romance of mediae
val times and the •‘dim beginnings"
of North American history have been
transplanted to the west wing of the
Newberry library, where over 5,000
maps and manuscripts made by the
first explorers of the new world were
placed on exhibition. They are all
from the Ayer collection, which was
given to the library by Edward E.
Ayer. Many of the parchments are
over 400 years old.
Mr. Ayer spent nearly thirty years
In getting the collection together. A
conservative estimate places the
value at over $400,000.
One of tVy> most Interesting divi
sions of the'exhibit is the Claudius
Ptolemy collection, which Mr. Ayer
purchased from Henry Stevens of
London. This contains sixty-one vol
umes, which are said to be among
the first books ever printed In the
Greek and Latin languages. There |
are also six Greek manuscripts dat- 1
ing back as far as 1260.
One of the most prized maps in the
collection is a chart of western Eu
rope which was made by Joan Mar
lines in 15S3. It is believed to have
been secured from one of the Spanish •
vessels in the Armada by the victo- !
rious Admiral Howard, who gave it to
Lord Burley in 1595.
There is also a large reproduction
of a map which is said to be the most
valuable in existence. This chart is
the first in which the word “America”
is used, and is one of the first at
tempts to show the topography of
North America. The original was
drawn by Martin Waldseemuller In
1507, and is now in the possession of
Prince Francis of Waldburg-Wolfegg.
The value of the chart, together with
another one made by Waldseemuller,
is placed by Prince Francis at $300.
000.
Among the others of the rare docu
ments ire maps and manuscripts be
lieved to have been made by Henry
Hudson, Sir Francis Drake, Americus
Vespucius. Hernando Cortes, John
Smith, Father Hennepin and a vol
ume containing the printed copy of a
letter written by Columbus descrlb- 1
ing his discovery of America. The j
volume was printed in Rome by Ste- i
phen Planck in 1493. just after Co
lumbus returned to Spain.
Heats Square Mile Orchard.
Kansas City, Mo.—To heat a square
mile of orchard with oil stoves sounds
improbable, but that is what W. H.
Underwood of Hutchinson, Kan., will
do this spring. Mr. Underwood, who
is a fruit grower, is in Kansas City
directing the manufacture of 19.500
stoves. These stoves, each of which
has a reservoir which holds ten gal
lons of oil. will be placed in his apple
orchard near Hutchinson to prevent
damage to the trees by frost.

HEAD SOLID MASS OF HUMOR
"I think the Cuticura Remedies are
the best remedies for eczema I have
ever heard of. My mother had a child
who had a rash on its head when it
was real young. Doctor called it baby
rash. He gave us medicine, but it
did no good. In a few days the head
was a solid mass; a running sore. It
was awful, the child cried continually.
We had to hold him and watch him
to keep him from scratching the
sore. His suffering was dreadful. At
last we remembered Cuticura Reme
dies. We got a dollar bottle of Cuti
cura Resolvent, a box of Cuticura
Ointment, and a bar of Cuticura Soap.
We gave the Resolvent as directed,
washed the head with the Cuticura
Soap, and applied the Cuticura Oint
ment. We had not used half before
the child's head was clear and free
from eczema, and it has never come
back again. His head was healthy
and he had a beautiful head of hair.
I think the Cuticura Ointment very
good for the hair. It makes the hair
grow and prevents falling hair."

Work and Marriage.
In the New York courts recently a
girl, aged 17, on being told by her
mother that she was old enough to
go to work, replied: “Work. I will
cot; I prefer to marry.” Whereupon
she was married before night to a
young man earning $8 per week.
That is of a piece with the reasoning
of another girl who, being interro
gated by a friend, "Where are you
working now, Mamie?” answered
promptly. “I ain't working; I'm mar
ried."—Boston Herald.
THE YOUNG BRIDE’S
FIRST DISCOVERY
Their wedding tour had ended, and
they entered their new home to settle
down to what they hoped to be one long
uninterrupted blissful honeymoon.
l’ut. alas! the young bride’s troubles
•oon begin, wlien she tried to reduce the
cost of living with cheap big can baking
powders.
She soon discovered that all she got
was a lot for her money, and it was not
all baking powder, for the bulk of it was
cheap n: iterials which had no leavening
power. SuA powders will not make light,
wholesome food. And because of the ab
sence of leavening gas, it requires from
two or three times ns much to raise cakes
or biscuits as it does of Calumet Baking
Powder.
Thus, eventually, the actual cost to
you. of cheap liaking powders, is more
than Calumet would be.
Cheap liaking powders often leave the
bread bleached and acid, sometimes yel
low and alkaline, and often unpalatable.
They are not always of uniform strength
and quality.
Now the bride buys Calumet—the per
fectly wholesome baking powder, moder
ate m price, and always uniform and re
liable. Calumet keeps indefinitely, makes
cooking easy, and is certainly the most
economical after all.
