That there are active chemical
changes going on all the time in Gull
tivated soil is evident. This fact
constitutes one Of the greatest puz-
2les to the agricultural chemist, Ger
tain things which he finds nearly SOL

come soluble and available as plant
food. The action Of carbonic acid,
the great deComposer in nature, sets
at naught the work in the laboratory,
and sets up changes, the full extent
of viii h chemists have yet hardly
realized, says the Pacific Farmer.
Nature has a wonderful reserve
power, and in some soils her store of
food which only slowly becomes avail
able seems to be entirely eXhaustleSs.
In all the red Clays Of the granitic
formation east of the Blue Ridge,
potash, one of the most essential ele-
ments of plant food, even the most

these red clay lands, seems EXHAUST

known that on some lands, partiCu-
larly on lands near the coast, plaster
is of little value, beyond what value
the lime in it may have, while on
other land it has an immediate and
great effect.
Those who have noticed the de.
posits Of plaster rock in the natural
beds are aware that the outer part,
exposed to the weather, loses its
character as a sulphate and becomes
merely a carbonate Of lime, while in
the quarry 1t is pure sulphate. And
this is the secret of its action on soils
Astounding in potash. The lime
greedily combines with the ever
present carboniC acid in the soil, and
the sulphuric acid is left free to act
on some other base, and attacks the
potash, giving us sulphate of potash
for our crops. an efficient help to
clover and other legumes. Whenever
plaster can he had at reasonable
price farmers on these clay soils can
usually get their potash more cheaply
by the use of plaster than by buying
potash in an already available FORM
The moral is, study your soil, and do
not buy what you can get more
cheaply out of your land itself.

A faint tinkle of the doorbell was

if fearful of being overheard, Miss
Huntingdon whispered in his ear,

"Humph!' muttered Grierson.
Darling a meaning glance at him, the
young lady rose, her whole expression

CHAPTER V,

AT 8 O'Clock that evening, when Mr..
James Delafeld entered his carriage,
with few words to the driver, he was
in a very different frame of mind from
that in which we last saw him. At the
close of the market that day Carlotta
was moving upward again, almost as
readily as 1t had fallen. At the very
moment when he had given up every
thing for lost he had received, to his
great establishment, note from Mr..
Grierson, insisting ON his immediate
presence at the Empire bank if he
wanted help. Once in Grierson's sane
tum, an immense sum of money had
been pressed upon the young man, de-
spite his protestations. Tt made him
able to meet his loans. make good all
his obligations, hold on to his stock, and
thus save his fortune. Grierson con-
trolled the market and knew that at
o'clock the next day Delafield, safe
from harm, would be again in his Office
to repay that loan. The man of stocks
had kept his word.
Mr.. Delafield had gone through 50
much during the last few hours that he
was somewhat dazed and had not even
stopped to reason about the matter when
he received an urgent note from Miss
Huntingdon requesting him to come at
once to the house on Sixty-first street.
He found Miss Huntingdon waiting for
him in the drawing room, and he per-
ceived that her manner was hesitant
and nervous as she babe him be seated.
mo doubt, Mr.. Delafield," she be-
gan, "you are surprised at 80 summary
a request to come here tonight"
None the less at your service, how
ever, Miss Huntingdon.
The young woman bowed. Delafield
was little taken aback at the abrupt
ness OF the question, Have you a
brother, Mr.. Delafeld?"
IT had BROTHER he replied, with q
slight frown, as if the recollection wero
not altogether pleasant. He is dead. y
WAS that his name?" she queried,
holding yellow and creased paper be-
fore him.
Delafield looked carefully at the
words wri&sn on it. He took the pa
and moved neere~

CHAPTER Nv

1t was but few moments after this
that the tall figure of Miss Huntingdon
tripped up the steps of the Empire bank
into the Office of Grierson & Co., bank
ers and brokers. Not finding the SEN
ior partner in, she was ushered into his
private room to wait for him.
Miss Huntingdon, too. knew how the
market was falling. Carlotta was now
at "a. She heard a man in the outer
Office say, There will be nothing left
Of Carlotta by night" Miss Hunting
don drummed nervously on the desk
with her fingers and bit her lip. Her
face, far from expressing the satisfac-
ton Grierson would expect to see there,
was pale and anxious. All night long
she had fought her battle. Wavering
between her purpose and the feeling she
experienced for Delafield-for the truth
had been forced upon her that she loved
him-she had worn the long night
through. The woman in her had tri-
umphed-love had gained the fight.
But what now did love availa The
blow was struck. She read the news In
ths later papers with = sick heart.

CHAPTER III.

When James Delafield sat down to an
| unusually late breakfast the next morn
ing, after passing a wretched night, he
was, as might be expected, in very
bad humOr. In this frame of mind it
was but natural that the insignificant
fact of Albert's having neglected to
place the morning paper at his plate
nettled him. He was about to tap the
bell summoning that worthy, upon
whom he might vent his spleen, when
the man appeared with a paper in his
hand.
q" 'Ere's a hcxtra, sir. Something
herbout the Carlotta mine.' sir.
What that?" asked Delafeld as he
grasped the sheet. Its glaring head
lines fixed his eye. "Great God!" he
exclaimed. This was what he saw:
"Carlotta Drops! The Great Mining
Stock Falling Fast. Passed the Divi-
dend. Shareholders Crazy to Unload
Their Holdings. Almost Panic. I'm
expected Result of the Directors Meet
ing"
Delafield called for his hat and coat,
rushed out of the house, ran three blocks
to the elevated Station, and as he sped
the paper told.
Wall street is wild. The stock of
the Carlotta Mining company is on the
jump downward AT the time of going
to press it is at 90, but it will not stop
there. AT the close of the market yes
terday Carlotta was quoted at 10S Is, so
it is easy to see what has caused the ex-
element. The street is being flooded
with Carlotta shares, for their holders
are moving as one man, eager to get rid
of what is dangerous to hold. Carlotta
is going down, down, down. To tide it
over is out of the question. Not one of
the directors of the concern can be
found, and Mr.. Grierson, the president,
refuses to say anything"
A lot more followed in the same
strain. And then the account went ON
to tell how at the directors meeting the
condition of the mine had been reveal
ed, what stormy time there had been,
and how the board had passed the divi-
dend, the meeting breaking up in con-
fusion. Considerable space was devot-
ed to speculations as to certain irreg-
ularities in the management of the
mine" and comments upon the probable
effect of this break upon stocks in gen
eral.
The first move of Delafield upon leav-
ing the elevated train was to reach his
broker. The excitement that filled his
breast seemed as we'll to permeate the
very air of the street. Men hurried to
| and fro or were gathered in restless
groups earnestly discussing the situa
ton.
Pushing his way through the crowd,
Delafield entered the Office of Gryce &
Griffin and glanced anxiously at the
ticker. Carlotta 81. Turning he saw
Mr.. Gryce at his elbow. Come in
herev exclaimed Delafield, grasping
his broker by the arm and dragging
him into the private. office. Now, look
here" began Gryce, there The
door closed behind them, and the crowd
in the room heard no more.

ached her pretty head to answer. How
ever, she was quite composed outward
ly and CALCULATED: why, / did not ex-
pect to see you this evening! l supposed

ing"
Il thank you for thinking of me, -
replied Delafeld gently as he released
her hand. Flushing a little, Miss Hunt
against the mantel and crossed his hands
behind him. He looked very manly
Miss Huntingdon thought, in this care
less attitude. 1t had never struck her
SO forcibly before how broad his shoul-
ders were, what strength there was in
his figure. She noted the firm lines of
his face, and how the whole expression
of that face in repose was softened by
his kindly eyes. Presently his rich voice
reused her.

Miss Huntingdon S heart, whose pulsa-

ly by the rise or the fall of the stock
market, beat very fast now with far
different emotion. Why should she be
so moved az the sound of this mans
| voice, at the warmth of his regard,
when her heart should have been filled
with hatred for him? Perversely her
| thoughts ran back to that day in the glo

and the sight of this man standing there
with that hurt look in his eyes was too
much for her to bear.

some moments before he spoke. Then
he raised himself proudly and steadily
regarded her. In a low voice he said:
