His heart leaped with a hope as a sharp voice from the rear commanded a halt It was Jeekum. He came up out of the darkness from behind the rear guard, his face still unmasked, and or a few moments was in whis pered consultation with the guards ahead Had Strang, in the virulence of tuat hatred which he concealed so well conceived of this spot to give added torment to death* It was the poe*-y of vengeance! For the first time N* il turned toward his compan i"S. Each read what the other had guessed. Neil, who was nearest to the whispering four, turned suddenly toward them and listened When he looked at Xathanlel again it was with a slow negative shake of bis head Jeekum returned quickly and placed himself between them, seizing each by an arm. and the forward guards, pivot ing to the left, set off at their steady pace across the clearing As they en tered the denser gloom of the forest oo the farther side Xatkaniel felt the jailer's fingers tighten about his arm. then relax—and tighten again. A gen tle pressure held him back and the guards in front gained half a dozen feet. In a low voice Jeekum called for those behind to fail a few paces to the rear Then cane again the mysterious working of the man's Ungers on Na thaniel's arm. Wus Jeekum signaling to him? He could see Neil's white face still ! turned stoically to the front. Evi ' dently nothing had occurred to arouse his suspicions. If the maneuvering of Jeekum’s fingers meant anything it was intended for him alone. Action had been the manna of his life. The possibility of new adventure, even in the face of death, thrilled him. He waited, breathless—and the strange pressure came again, so hard that it hurt his flesh. There was no longer a doubt in his mind. The king's sheriff wanted to speak to him. And he was afraid of the eyes and ears behind. The lingers were cautioning him to be ready—when the opportunity came. The path widened and through the thin treetops above their heads the starlight filtered down upon them. The leading guards were 20 feet away. . How far behind were the others? A moment more and they plunged into deep night again. The figures ahead were mere shadows. Again the fingers dug into Nathaniel's arm. and pressing close to the sheriff he bent down his head. A low. quick whisper fell in his ear. "Don't give up hope! Marion— Winnsome—” The sheriff jerked himself erect without finishing. Hurried footsteps had come close to their heels. The rear guards were so near that they could have touched them with their guns. Had some spot of lesser gloom ahead betrayed the prisoner's bowed head and Jeekum's white face turned to it’ There was a steady pressure on Nathaniel's arm now, a warning, frightened pressure, and the hand that made it trembled. Jeekum feared the worst—but his fear was not greater than the chill of disappointment that came to smother the excited beating of Nathaniels heart. What had the jailer meant to say? What did he know about Marion and Winnsome, and why had he given birth to new hope in the same breath that he men tionod their names? His words carried at least one con viction. Marion was alive despite her brother's somber prophecies. If she had billed herself the sherifT would not have coupled her name with Winn some's in the wav he had. Nathaniel's nerves were breaking with suspense. He stifled his breath to listen, to catch the faintest whisper that might come to him from the white faced man at his side. Each passing moment of silence added to his desperation. He squeezed the sheriff's hand in his arm. but there was no responding signal; in a patch of thick gloom that almost concealed the figures ahead he pressed near to him and lowered his head again— and .leekum pushed him back fiercely, with a low curse They emerged from the forest and the clear starlight shone down upon them A little distance off lay the lake in shimmering stillness. Nathan iel looked boldly at the sheriff now. and as his glance passed beyond him he was amazed at the change that had come over Neil. The young man's head was bowed, heavily upon his breast, his shoulders were hunched forward, and he walked with a list less. uneven step. Was It possible that his magnificent courage had at last given way? A hundred steps farther they came to the beach end Nathaniel saw a boat at the water's edge with a single figure guarding it. Straight to this Jeeltum led his prisoners. For the first time he spoke to them aloud. "One in front, the other in back," he said. For an instant Nathaniel found him self close beside Neil and he prodded him sharply with his knee. His com panion did not lift his head. He made no sign, gave no last flashing com radeship with his eyes, but climbed into the bow of the beat and sat down v-ith his chin still on his chest, like a man lost in stupor. Nathaniel followed him. scarcely be iieving his eyes, and sat himself in the stern, leaning comfortably against the knees of the man who took the tiller. He felt a curious thrill pass through him when he discovered a mo ment later that this man was Jeekum Two men seized the oars amidshipc A fourth, with his rifle across his knees, sat facing Neil. ror the hrst tune Nathaniel found himself wondering what this voyage meant. Were they to be rowed far down the shore to some secret fast ness where no other ears would hear the sound of the avenging rifles, and where, a few inches under the forest mold, their bodies would never be dis covered f Each stroke of the oars added to the remoteness of this pos sibility. The boat was heading straight out to sea. Perhaps they were to meet a less terrible death by drown ing an end which, though altogether unpleasant, held something comforting in it for Captain Plum. Two hours passed without pause in the steady labor of the men at the oars. In those hours not a word was spoken. The two men amidships held no communi cation. The guard in the bow moved a little now aDd then only to relieve his cramped limbs. Neil was abso lutely motionless, as though he had ceased to breathe. Jeekum uttered not a whisper. It was his whisper that Nathaniel waited for, the signaling clutch of his fingers, the sound of his breath close to his ears. Again and again he pressed himself against the sheriff's knees. He knew that he was under stood, and yet there came no answer At last he looked up, and Jeekum s face was far above him, staring straight and unseeing into the dark ness ahead. His lr»st spark of hop* j went out. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Another Glory of Ocaia. The honor of introducing grapefruh ; to the world belongs to Ocala.

The slock barn herewith illustrated was planned for a Missouri stockman. wTites J. E. Bridgman in the Orange i Judd Parmer. The rather odd shape ■ waa adopted for several reasons: | Elrwt. to have all the stock under one , roof: second, to keep each department separate from the other departments: third, to reduce to the minimum the amount of labor required for feeding the stock; fourth, to save and eco nomically use every pound of manure. . The floor plan of the structure is j 34x160 feet from east to west, and 34x134 feet from rorth to south, and . Che two eU« for hogs and sheep are j each 30x65 feet The walls are 10 i feet to the eaves, and the roof is self- j supporting, which leaves a clear , space through the entire loft for j storing hay. etc. All partitions are I eight feet, except over the south front. manure and litter is also handled with carriers, and when not spread at once, is stored in a cement manure house. All gutters are drained to this manure Plt. The exterior and interior are cov ered with matched sheathing, which is stripped with lx2-inc'n strips. The strips are in turn covered with metal lath, and the lath covered with two coats of Portland cement. All ceil ings are treated in the same manner, except the sheathing is not used. The roof is covered with the best grade of asbestos felt roofing, which makes it practically a fireproof barn. The foundation is of native limestone, for the reason that stone can be se cured on the farm at a very slight eost. The siios. set oh cement pits four Fioor Plan of Stock Barn. where they are 10 feet front the feed rooms to the south front. This is done to allow for driving in a load of hay in stormy weather. There are 45 cow stalls, three bull stalls, two hospital stalls and three calf pens. The horse barn has eight single stalls and five large box stalls; the sheep barn has six sheep pens 11x21 feet each, and two lamb pens; the hog house has 12 pens Sxll feet each, also a feed and killing room 15x2S feet. The south front has a tool room, engine room and a watchman's room. Stairways are located in both north and 'south ends of the barn. The feed rooms for horses and cows are so ar ranged that the silage may be dropped down the small chute in front of the silos. The door of this chute is al ways closed, so that no odors may en ter the cow barn. A small gas en gine is used for elevating the ground feed to six hopper-shaped bins, lo cated over the feed rooms. The feed Is drawn from the bins through small spouts as wanted. Bins for storing feed for hogs and sheep are located over the sheep and hog barns. All feed is handled with feed carriers, and the tracks run through all parts of the barn. All feet deep, are built with 2x4-inch studs, set 12 inches on centers, s^xS icch wooden hoops are bent around the outside, and are doubled, one be tween each door and one in the cen ter of each door The doers are 24x30 inches square, with 12-inch spaces be tween. The hoops are covered with lx2-inch strips, and treated in the same manner as the walls of the barn. The inside walls of the silos are lined with hard-burned paving brick laid in a thin cement. All floors of the barn are of cement, with wood slats for the horses. The horses have cast-iron gutters, but the | cows have both the gutters and the mangers made of cement, and the mangers so arranged that they may i be flooded with water. The floors are all trapped with drain traps, and the entire barn may be washed with a hose in a short time. The horses are Lwatered at the cement trough located north of the east feed room, and the ; hogs and sheep are watered with a hose. The barn loft is supported on thre^inch gas pipe, and all ccw stalls are of wood, with wire guards on top. This barn is doubtless too large for \ many of us. but there are many things ' to be learned from it. CHAMPION JERSEY FOR MILK Another world's record has been broken.

PROFIT IN RAISING RYE Successful Crop Is One of Best Povlnj in Its Class—Excellent Market for Both Grain and Straw. A successful rye crop is one of the best paying in its class. One acre harvested this season weighed 6.000 pounds before thrashing and yielded 2,000 pounds of grain which we sell at three cents per pound for seed and lor making rye flour, says the Balti more American. Two tons of straw is worth here $25 per ton. The expense was only $9. including $3 for tillage. |i for seed and $5 for harvesting. It was a sec | ond crop coming after potatoes and squashes and had time enough to sow the land to clover. Much attention j should be paid to the rye crop. It is i very easily grown and nearly always a sure crop and brings better returns per acre than other grains. Rye growing has almost gone out of . practice in this section, although three-fourths of a centurv ago tj,e grain was planted on almost everv farm, not only for rye bread, but for ! supplying distilleries where rye gin was made There was seven of these distilleries in one small town and It Is said the profits of the business paid for many of the farms which have been handed down to the descendants of the original owners. At present often rye bread is almost unknown, but there is an excellent market both for rye and for the straw. Food for Hens.

Leaves Kidneys In Weakened Condition Doctors in all parts of the country have been kept busy with the epidemic of grip which has visited so many homes. The symptoms of grip this year are very distressing and leave the sys tem in a run down condition, particu larly the kidneys which seem to sutler most, as every victim complains of lame back and urinary troubles which should not be neglected, as these dan ger signals often lead to more serious sickness, such as dreaded Bright’s Dis ease. Local druggists report a large sale on Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root which so many people say soon heals and strengthens the kidneys after an at tack of grip. Swamp-Root is a great kidney, liver and bladder remedy, and. being an berbal compound, has a gen tle healing effect on the kidneys, which is almost immediately noticed by those who try it.

A German baker in West Philadel phia has a young hopeful who is be ginning in youth the study of the vio lin. He takes weekly lessons and the parents are sanguine of his becoming a great musician. A friend strolled into the bakeshop the other day and inquired of the genial German what progress the boy was making. “He pretty good gets along,” came the baker’s assuring answer, with an elevation of the chin and a swelling chest. "He play 'Home. Sweet Home' with such sweetness that makes you wish for the Faderland. And. by golly, you ought to hear him play that 'Nearer, ily God. to You.’” Laundry -work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually neces sary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wear ing quality of the goods. This trou ble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its great er strength than other makes. Why Maria Laughed.
