they might be near enough to heac
the crack of a pistol. The massacre of
the white sailors must be performed
with creeses and spears.
A sudden thought flashed upon
Wayne's mind. As ne looked at the
rugged, stalwart forms of his little
party, II seemed to him that these
brave fellows under his special charge
ought to be saved by him II possible,
even at the risk of HIS own life. Or
dering the men to remain on the plat
form, he seized the Flagstaff and
quickly descended the east side of the
hillock to the reef, which, as previous
ly explained, stretched far out inx,
the sea. There were no breakers about
it now. as the breeze was light and the
agitation of the water had snbsided.
Swiftly along the reef, holding up the
flag and waving it, the boy proceeded.
The enraged Malays, divining his in
tention of signaling the sloop-of-war,i
acted as the lad had expected they
would do. Bager to ballS his purpose,
their attention was for the present d.
verified from the hillock to the daring
youth. They headed the proas toward
him, but they could only get their YES
sells within about sixty feet of him, on
account of the many low, pointed
rocks on this side of the reef. To reach
him, therefore, they would have to
either run their craft to the hillocl<
and. leaving their boats, make their
way to the reef, or else work the proas
round the end of it to the other side,
which was clear of rocks. AS this
would take too much time-for the
signal waved high above the boys
head had evidently already been seen
from the Triton-the fierce crews no
longer hesitated to have recourse to
their firearms
The war-sloop was visible about two
miles off in the clearing mist. She had
been headed to the westward, but now
her course was toward the midship-
man, for she had tackled when the sig
nal was shown.
Thick and fast flew the shots from
the Malays pistols about the boys
form as the dusky crews headed along

THE FARM WAGON.
Why 1t Should Have Low Wheeb and
Broad Tires.

why III should have Low MhfeJh and
Broad Tires.
In doing much of the hauling on the
farm low wheeled wagons wt!s help
materially in lessening the LABOR of
loading and unloading; whils broad
tires will lessen the injury to the fields
in hauling over them, and at the same
time lessen the draught.
In hauling wood, rails, manure, fod
der and many other things, low
wagon will save time and labor to such
an extent that one will soon pay for
itself. This fact is SO generally recog-
nized that low wheels, made 10 fit any
wagon, can be bought cheap. There
are also detachable tires, mr,de broad,
and so that they can be attached to a
common farm wagon whenever it is
desired, and then taken off when no
longer wanted. While so many insist
upon using narrow-tired wagons on the
road, it will be best to use a narrow
tire when the roads are muddy and
badly cut up with ruts. But at all
seasons when they can be used the
broad tires are much better in every
way. If they were more generally used
the roads would not be cut up nearly
SO badly as they are by narrow tires.
Every farmer will find it an advan,
tage to have low-wheeled, broad-tired
wagon especially TO do the hauling on
the farm, especially that part which
must be done over the fields. st.

loaded fork is tied to the cross beam,

load is drawn up by horse or team
hitched to the rope which runs through

position shown at A until the load
strikes the cross-beam, when the draft
brings them over to the position b.
The load is then Immediately over the

the load is off, the poles are easily

the man in the wagon usually pulls
them back to the position shown at

they will come INTO position when the
team is started to draw up the next
load. This is very cheap and easily
constructed device for stacking hay
and can be used where hay is hauled
on wagons, hay sleds or shocks. The
length of stack, which will be made at
single setting, can be varied to suit
the builder. Quite a common method
is to put up convenient length and
simply move the stacker on far enough
to build another section to the first,
and SO on, making a long rick. This
method also saves time in moving, as
the poles do not have to be taken
down, being simply stepped" along
to the new position. The guy ropes
must be quite long, varying somewhat
with the length of the stack. --Prairie

reef. Several bullets passed through

jacket. another bullet grazed his ribs,
but he moved on till he gained the end
of the reef, when he paused, standing
upright and still waving the flag.
There must, he thought, be no mis-
take; he must make sure that, in the
light mist and powder smoke above
him, his signal was seen.
Like spiteful wasps buzzing a Zip

But down on one knee he continued to

Anxiously had the men on the rocky
platform watched. the movements of

Fearing that the Malays would final

to get at the boy by coming up on the
other side and cut him down, they

end without af-
fording him a chance to perform any
specially difficult or hazardous duty.
But finally it happened that for a
whole night, while the cruiser was in
the region of the fragrant Moluccas,
or Spice Islands, she had chased fleet
of Malay proas, which, by the light of
the moon, had been maneuvering to
attack merchant vessel to leeward
A mist, at dawn, having hidden the
proas from sight, young Wayne, as
soon as the vapor lifted, was sent off
in the second cutter to ascertain if
they were lurking behind the head
land of an isle near which the sloop
now lay becalmed.
She was nearly a hundred fathoms
from the end of a long reef, which,
faced on one side by low, pointed
rocks, extended from the east side of a
hillock of mixed sand, granite frag-
ments and shells, topped by a broad,
rocky platform, with a low ridge of
sandstone bordering it's edges. Back
of this natural platform, nearly touch
ing it, rose steep, high wall of beau
tiful coral, now luminous, almost
transparent, being tinted to soft
crimson by the rays of the morning
sum- A hundred feet to the west of it,
separated by deep water, lowered
lofty, perpendicular, porus rocks from
the front of the isle on which was the
headland. The rocks extended fol
about the distance of hundred yards
and the headland was nearly three
miles further beyond.
As the cutter approached this eleva
ton, saffron-colored haze spread
along the sea and a strange hollow
humming was heard in the distance
Wayne then knew that one of those
sudden, unexpected typhoons, or tenn
pests, common to this region was at
hand. Anxious to perform his mission
the first important one entrusted to
him by his captain-in creditable
manner, the boy was exhorting the
oarsmen to pull with a will, when he
noticed recall signal waving aboard
the sloop.
Much dis appointed at being thus
ordered to return before he could per
form the intended service, the lad had
the boat headed back toward the
ship.
But he was still two miles from tn,
vessel, when the tempest broke forth
with a deafening roar. For severa

An experienced feeder gives the fol-
lowing description of the animals he
selects to fatten:
The nose should be broad that the
mouth may close upon goodly guam
tity of grass at each bite and thus save
the time OF the animal for even in the
work of eating time is money. Quickly
filed, the steer is most of the time
resting quietly, converting his food
into tender, juicy flesh. The head
should be short and broad, giving an
ample breadth between the eyes. Long
deer-liSe faces belong to the ne'er do
well. The head should be held we'll
up and the carriage be spirited. The
horn should be fine and short, and the
eve should be bright and full. The
neck should be short and fine; thick,
clumsy neck may be good enough for
hog, but it is out of place in a steer
The brisbet should come down deep
and full, and there should be great
width between the fore legs to give
ample room for the lungs Back of
the shoulders the body should be full,
the ribs springing well out, and the
back be broad, straight and smooth,
with no sinking between the chine
and rump. The hips should be straight
and the TANKS well filed and come
down low. The hide should be soft
and velvety; if thick and covered with
good coat of hair, so much the better,
as it will help to keep the animal heat
and Withstand the cold weather. The
thigh should be full and the hind legs
straight All the legs should be short
and the steer stand squarely on them;
add broad loin and rump and fine
tail and you have steer which will
take on fat readily and in a short time
become a source of pleasure and profit
to his owner.
In selecting sires for improving a
beef herd these same points should be
observed, for as like produces like q
judicious selection of the sire will give
just the animal that feeders and butch
crs are constantly looking for and find
ing so difficult to secure.
