A moment gone everything had been densely dark, with that narcotic black ness which characterizes the slumbers of the overworked and overwrought. Now In a twinkling he found himself intensely conscious, in the middle of the floor, pistol in hand. r^ery nerve on the qui vive, every muscle tense. Gradually he realized that his nerves must have tricked him. that the hair trigger of his suspended faculties must have been pulled by some com mon but unexpected noise. The room was bright with garish daylight; at the doors the chairs were in place, as he had left them; there was not a sound to be heard In the house. Very stealthily he opened the hall door and looked out. From the silence within doors, there was no one -else astir. He went out and back to the kitchen, finding it empty. After some momentary hesitation he returned to his room, found a towel and took it with him out into the open. lie went quickly down through the Cold l^airs to the beach. The Echo was gone, but this did not surprise him; it had been Appleyard's purpose to heave anchor and get away as soon as the gale showed signs of slacken ing. Inside the sheltering sptt a sturdy little catboat was dancing crazily at Us mooring, but it was evi dently deserted, and Coast rightly guessed that the vessel belonged to Ulackstock. that Its tender was the boat which Power had been accused of stealing—principally, no doubt, to al lay the suspicions of Katherine; some means of accounting for the man’s dis appearance had necessarily to be in vented. The boat was, of course, no Every Nerve on the Qui Vive. cot-age mith the three Chinese that they might quietly make away with him while he slept. With this in mind he took a more detailed inventory of his surround ings; and found them hopelessly ex posed rnquestionably he would have been safer in the open; but the storm was now at the top of its fury. Sheets of water were sluicing the house as if cast from some gigantic bucket. Danger within seemed very much preferable to misery with out. More than that, if Black stock had planned an attempt upon his life during the night. Coast might as well know it; for he was armed and unafraid, and be who knows what to fear is doubly armed. Having wedged a chair beneath the knob of each door, he placed the lamp upon the table, turning it low that its scanty store of oil might last the night, and sat down on the bed, the pillow at bis bark. Appleyard's pistol ready at his side. insensibly as the dead hours lagged marked by no disturbance foreign to the storm, bis weariness bore heavily upon him. His thoughts blurred into a chaotic jumble of incoherencies. He nodded, drowsed with chin on breaet. roused with a start when some unusually violent squall swooped over the Island, drowsed again, and In the end slipped over upon his side and slept the sleep of the exhausted, pro found and dreamless. . . . CHAPTER XV. Coast awakened with a gasp, jump ing to his feet as if to the peremptory summons of a subconscious alarm clock. Such, In fact, was more or less the case; he who sleeps upon the thought of danger Is apt to waken where to be seen; doubtless Black stock had caused it to be carried up and secreted in one of the abandoned dwellings, or in some recess beneath the bluffs to the west and south. It was in the shelter of the westerly bluff that Coast stripped and took to the water. Here, as all round the island, the beach shelved boldly, the surf breaking close Inshore. Scrubbing his flesh aglow, ha dressed quickly, tingling with the ex hilaration of his recent contest, every trace of fatigue and drowsiness washed clean away. A sense of life and well-being ran like quicksilver through his veins; he could have sung aloud or whistled but for the sobering thought, never far beneath the sur face of his consciousness, of bis re sponsibility. With Katherine to guard and care for, with Blackstock to watch and guard against and circum vent, there could be little room for cheerfulness In his humor. Instead of returning the way he had come, an Impulse moved him to scale the bluff, which at this point pre sented not too steep an acclivity. As he continued along the sole, ap proaching the heel of what has been likened to a crude sketch of a child’s shoe. Coast remarked the crumbling stone walls of what had apparently once been a rude summer house and observatory set atop the highest hil lock to seaward. But he had drawn quite near to it before he descried a hem of skirt whipping round a cor ner of a half-fallen wall. He quick ened his steps and took her suddenly unawares as she stood, half-sheltered from the breese and wholly Invisible from the body of the island, her back to the weather-beaten and lichened stones, her gaze leveled to seaward | in somber reverie. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Gilbert Had Good Memory Me Never Forgot That at Harrow On# of Hia Lines Was Considerod Improper. This Gilbert story reaches me from as old Harrovian, says a writer In the Manchester Guardian. In 1872 the peo ple of the i^wn got up theatricals to raise funds for a hospital. Doctor But ler. the head master, said he would not allow the school to go unlesa the pieces were first submitted to him. One was Gilbert's "Palace of Truth." In it ts a passage In which the hero says to the heroine: "Meet me at cine o'clock tonight outside tne gar den gate." Doctor Butler vetoed this and substituted: "Meet me at three o'clock this afternoon." This seemed to him more decorous. About five yesrs sgo Gilbert was Invited to the Harrow speeches. In reply to the toast of his health he said: "l am very much interested in visiting Har row, far as far as I know tt is the only place In the world where' a line of mine has ever been condemned as im proper." Great consternation pre vailed—all the greater because no one except the speaker and one other per son. who was just leaving Harrow la 1872, knew what he meant It was not Gilbert's way to forget these things. Why Willie Wae Late. “Why. Willie, what kept you so late? Did you have to stay after school? I'm afraid yon have been naughty." “No. ma'am. I ain’t never naughty.

With corn plentiful and cheap, farm ers in the corn belt will not be easily interested in any other kind of feed for fattening hogs and cattle, but as the price of corn as it stands today and with the probability that it will steadily advance in the future, it is only the part of wisdom and good ; management for farmers to study the value of other grain for feeding at less cost. In many countries where corn can not be raised the finest pork and beef are produced from barley, other grain and roots. In Denmark, for instance, j where the finest bacon in the world is made, farmers feed their hogs en tirely on barley. Frequently in this country the price of barley becomes very low when the malting demand is oversupplied and it is then that the shrewd farmer can supplant corn with this grain and sell his corn to better advantage than by feeding it. Farmers in the northwest where : barley is grown to a large extent are becoming more interested in this grain and the experiment stations up there have done some excellent work in proving its value as compared with corn. An experiment began by the North Dakota station four years ago to show the value of barley as compared with corn for fattening hogs, has produced some very valuable and interesting results. A dozen eight-month-old pigs were divided into two lots of six each. The animals in each lot were uniform in size, thrift and general condition. The average weight of each Tot was at the beginning of the experiment, practical ly identical, 127 pounds. Those in lot one were fed a ration composed of four parts ground barley, and one part of shorts by weight. The pigs in lot two were given four parts of ground corn and one part of shorts. The pigs were fed for a period of 83 days, the grain being soaked in wa ter and fed in the form of a thick slop. The feeding value of a pound of corn proved to be 18 per cent greater than a pound of barley, but much of the barley was inferior in quality and if it would have been good, sound grain, might have made a better showing. The difference in price of about seven cents per bushel between barley and corn must also be taken into consideration. The Wisconsin station, which has a fine reputation for careful feeding in- j vestigations, some years ago made a , test between com and barley and re- , ported that the value of corn was only eight per cent greater than that of barley. The barley was figured at 48 cents a bushel, coyn at 55 cents and shorts at $14 per ton. The hogs in this test sold at $6.20 per hundred, the barley fed hogs netting a profit of $1.00 per hundred pounds and the corn fed hogs netted $1.89. In this test the price of barley at j 48 cents was too high as that was the regular price for best grade malting barley while the average price of common barley was 37 cents per bush el. Taking these figures it would have been cheaper to feed barley and sell corn. Investigations that these two sta tions have made shows that barley makes more lean meat than com. Of course com is the greatest fattener in the world when fed to hogs, hut a better grade of bacon can be produced by feeding barley than com. When hcgs are fed for weight alone there is no doubt that com has the slightest advantage, but where bacon is produced for the best special mar kets barley will turn out the best product. The result of the two ex periments show: That it required IS per cent more barley by weight than corn to produce the same gain in feeding pigs when both grains were fed in the proportion of four parts of grain to one of shorts by weight. That it is profitable to feed barley to hogs if pork is selling at an aver age price. That the carcasses of the pigs fed barley and shorts showed a greater distribution of lean and firmer flesh than the carcasses of pigs fed com and shorts. That pigs fed on corn and shorts will dress a higher per cent than pigs , fed on barley and shorts. _ NEW PLOW IS QUITE UNIQUE Dies Up Earth as Wheel on Which They Are Attached Is Re volved — ark Rone Ef&.iiv«Iy. Something novel in the plow line has been invented by a Louisiana man. Instead of a fixed blade that spades up the earth, this apparatus has a wheel in which are pivoted steel rods. Inside this wheel is a New Kind of Plow. semi-circular part set close enough to the rim of the wheel to throw the rods Into such position that when they reach the ground. In the course of the revolution, they will be aimed to thrust downward and forward Into the earth Instead of merely dragging or scraping along. The weight of the plow, too. is sufficient to insure its doing the work effectively. As the rods come up out of the ground they drop Into vertical position, points up- j ward, until they come around to the i striker again. — Ideas of the Largest Farmer. W hen David Rankin, the world's 1 largest farmer, was asked to tell the secret of his success (he began by borrowing $(f and died worth $5,000. 000, all made In farming) he answer ed promptly: "Success in farming consists in making every minute, every cent and every seed count. A good workman is cheap at any price and a shiftless, careless man is dear if he works for nothing." Not long before he died Mr. Rankin amplified his view. "To make a proflt , the farmer, just as any other manu facturer. must reduce the cost of pro- 1 ductlon." he said. “We farmers must not only keep eternally at reducing the cost of pro duction. but plan a way to get the most out of our product. Use your head as well as your hands, for it is the little savings that make up the profits at the end of the year. It takes sharpening of wits all the time." Agricultural Clubs.

(By DR. TV. P. BROOKS, Massachusetts.) Those soils on which, when seed ed, timothy and clovers fail, and where sorrel comes in largely togeth er with red top, usually need liming. It should be pointed out, however, that the presence of sorrel is not a proof that lime is needed. This weed will flourish even in soils which have been heavily limed; but on such soils the grasses and clovers are likely to crowd it out. while on soils which are in need of lime, they are unable to do so. When soil is sour it will turn blue litmus paper placed in contact with it red. To carry out the test, make about a tablespoonful of the soil into a thin mud with pure water and after it has stood for a short time lay a pliece of blue litmus paper on it and cover with the mud. Be careful not to handle the papers with the fingers. After about ten minutes remove the paper, washing it if necessary to show the color. If it has turned red, the soil is sour and needs an application of lime. Practically all druggists keep litmus paper. The most certain evidence of all as to whether lime will prove bene ficial is afforded by a simple experi ment which may be carried out as follows: Lay oft two square rods in a part of the field to be tested which seems to be fairly representative and even in quality. To one of these ap ply twenty pounds of freshly slaked lime. After applying at once work it in deeply and thoroughly. A few days later apply to each plot liberal quantity of either manure or fertiliser, precisely the same amount to each. Plant table beets, if the soil is much in need of lime these will make a better growth upon the limed plot. Fitting. Han't this Jewel atory great?"

JEW SCORED ON ARISTOCRAT • Ill-Bred Remark Brought Discomfiture ■ on Duke of Westminster and His Companion. A friend of mine who is in Cairo just now told me a good story in a recent letter of an old Jew of that city who scored off the young duke of Westminster and his inseparable com panion, Lord Ricksavage, when they were there a few weeks ago. They w ere buying some jewelry in the bazar there, and the duke remarked audibly to his friend: “The fool doesn't speak English of course." But the fool understood well enough. "Do you spik Italian?" he asked them, to which they replied in the neg ative. “Do you spik Grik?” “No." “Do you spik Turk?" “No.” "Do you spik Russian?" “No.” "Me one time fool.” said the old man after a short but eloquent pause: “you five times fool!” And the duke and his friend retired discomfited.— Exchange. Not That Kind. “It would save a lot of trouble.” said a newspaper man the other day to Representative Slayden of Texas, aft er the Democratic caucus on the Henry resolution to investigate the “money trust.” “if you would allow us to attend the caucus." “On the contrary,” replied Mr. Slay den, with a twinkle in his eye, “I thought it would make a lot of trouble." “Well, can't you give me an in terview on it, now that the fight is over?” “No." answered Mr. Slayden, “It would be against my principles. “I never kiss and tell!” Sad Excuse. They were twitting a friend who stuttered, upon the fact that he had never been married. “I kn-kn-know, boys, that I've never b-b-been married, but I was pre-pre pretty near it once." “How was that?” they inquired. “Well, you see. I ask-ask-asked a girl to hav-hav-have me. and she said that she’d rather be ex-ex-excused, and I waa such a fo-fo-fool, 1 ex-ex-excused her.” Small Encouragement.

HARD TO DROP But Many Drop it. A young Calif, wife talks about coffee: “It was hard to drop Mocha and Java and give Postum a trial, but my nerves were so shattered that I was a nervous wreck and of course that means all kinds of ills. “At first I thought bicycle riding caused it and I gave it up, but my con dition remained unchanged. I did not want to acknowledge coffee caused the trouble for 1 was very fond of it. “About that time a friend came to live with us. and I noticed that after he had been with us a week he would not drink his coffee any more. I asked him the reason. He replied, ‘I have not had a headache since 1 left off drinking coffee, some months ago, till last week, when I began again, here at your table. I don't see how anyone can like coffee, anyway, after drink ing Postum'! "I said nothing, but at once ordered a package of Postum. That was five months ago, and we have drank no coffee since, except on two occasions when we had company, and the result each time was that my husband could not sleep, but lay awake and tossed and talked half the night. We were convinced that coffee caused his suf fering, so we returned to Postum, con vinced that the coffee was an enemy, instead of a friend, and he is troubled no more by insomnia. “I, myself, have gained 8 pounds in weight, and my nerves have ceased to quiver. It seems so easy now to quit the old coffee that caused our aches and ills and take up Postum.” Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

De Wolfe Hopper tells a good story about tbe domestic unhappiness of an other actor. The hero of the joke was a man who had married because the woman had much money, although no beauty. Naturally, after the wedding ceremony and the acquisition of the bride's financial resources, the hus band was never very attentive to her. Another member of the company in which the couple were appearing was, however, far more appreciative of the lady's charms, and proceeded to make love to her in an ardent but stealthy manner. The grand finale came one evening when the actor discovered the other man kissing his wife. The fond lover stood petrified with fear, and expected to be shot down the next moment. No such thing happened. The out raged husband only lifted his hands toward the ceiling with a gesture of intense surprise, and exclaimed: “Merciful heavens! And he didn't even have to!” Summer Wear.
