From the same direction taken by
Taylor, but evidently coming out of Il
harrow valley bearing off to the left, APP
peared white man with gun on his
shoulder. He was in view when half q
mile from camp, and long before he
reached it all the men were watching
his approach.
He was one of the four renegades, and
this was the visit Harkins had heard
them plotting to make. The captain,
Harkins and Joe knew this, but none of
the others knew that the girl Lizzie was
in camp, she having kept herself secret
ed in the wagon.
The man continued to advance at
leisurely pace, and by and by he was
near enough to the group to call out:

a long, painful silence. broken at last by
the girl, who said:

miles,
The men and especially Joe, had
looked to see the girl break down under
the strain. but she did not. She fought
against it and chung to the hope that
her father still lived, though he might
be wounded and prisoner.
Joe went on guard at that hour. and
an hour later, as all his senses were
keenly alert, he heard a whistle. No
Indian would make use of such a signal,
There were no white men in the neigh
borhood. Was it the note of some bird
of night?
There it came again-a whistle of in
quiry-as if some one was seeking to To-
cate the camp. Believing it to be some
prospector or hunter who had lost him
self during the day, Joe answered the
signal.
1t came again and nearer.
Now he heard footsteps and moment
later a man and a woman approached
him from out of the darkness.
''Halt! Who is it?' challenged the
sentinel
''Harkins!' was the reply.
tGreat heavens!' whispered Joe as
the pair came to halt before him

CHAPTER. XVI.

The captain was himself on guard on
the other side of the camp, and he quick
~ came up to find out what the confu-
| zion meant.

He quietly awoke Bess, made brief
explanation, and after Lizzie had been
provided with food the two girls sought

men will soon be astir and Harkins had
pest lie low for couple of hours. AS
soon as breakfast is over | shall ask
| Taylor to head party to the place he
described. Let us see what he will do"
Harkins sought one Of the wagons,
and when the men reused up, one after
another, not one had suspicion that
anything unusual had occurred during
the night. Breakfast was prepared and
eaten, and the captain and Joe, who
were watching Taylor very closely, saw
by his demeanor that he was restless
and i'll at ease. He seemed to have lost
his appetite, and he glanced around him
as if expecting some sudden danger.
Bessie came from the wagon equipped
as for an expedition. and, walking up
to Taylor, she said:
II am ready. We are to find and re-
cover my fathers body today"

A Gay Scene.

No more brilliant scene can be i'm
agincd than u dancing palace i'll the
Isle of Man ut what may be called high
tide. The floor is immense; four or
five thousand young women are dane
ing on It; the young men in tennis
fanncls and colored scarfs the
young women in light muslin and
straw hats. You sit in the gallery and
look down. Sometimes the white
lights in the glass roof are covered
with red and blue and yellow, and
these tints are cast on to the dancers.
This simple artifce is astounding In
it's effects. The mere sense Of size
and the presence of so much life must
count for n great deal. You have to
witness the scene in order to realize
its extraordinary fascination. The
low buzz Of the dancers feet, the
clang and clash of the brass ipstru-
ments, the boom Of the drum, the
quake of the great glass house itself,
and the low rumble Of the hollow
floor beneath--it IS like one thing only
that | can dream Of or imaginc-a

Enormous Pendulums.

The only structures in Japan which
seem to be earthquake proof are the
pagodas, which are erected before the
temples. There are many pagodas
which are seven or eight hundred
years old and as solid as when first
built There is a reason for this, and
1t lies in their construction A pa
CODA is practically a framework of
heavy timbers which start from q
wide base, and is in itself substan-
tial structure but it is rendered still
more stable by a peculiar device. In
side the framework and suspended
from the apex is long, heavy balk
of timber two feet thick or more. This
hangs from one end, and to the other
end are bolted, at each of the four
sides, four more heavy timbers, and
if the pagoda be very lofty still more
timbers are added on to these. The
whole forms an enormous pendulum
which reaches to within six inches
Of the ground. When the shock Of
an earthquake rocks the pagoda the
pendulum swings In unison and keeps
the center of gravity always at the
base of the framework. Consequent
ly, the equilibrium Of the pagoda is
never disturbed, and this Is the ex-
Dlanation of the great age Of many OF
them, when from their height one
would suppose them to be peculiarly
susceptible to the effect Of an earth

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

1t is undoubtedly true that food of
all kinds favors milk to greater or
less degree.
More butter is injured in the
ripening of the cream than at any
other point.
Milk IN any form, sweet or sour, is
good for fowls. Sour milk will surely
make them lay.
A little salt every day, with the soft
food, is good for grown hens, but
don't give any to the chicks. 1t may
kill them.
For applying Insecticides to limit
ed number of vines or bushes short
broom will be found fair substitute
for sprayer.
The size of the COW and the amount
of food eaten are no indications of
what she will do at the pail or what
! the milk will churn out.
The lady-bird beetles are unusually
numerous this season. They are ono
of the fruit growers best friends and
should never be destroyed.
A little linseed meal mixed with tho
morning mash occasionally will give q
gloss to the feathers and help keep
the fowls in good condition.
Swamp muck is not generally as
valuable as it appears and requires TO
be heavily dosed with limo the first
season to produce much effect.
Fowls must have variety of food if
they are to do well. Breakfast is
good, but you couldn't live on it.

modern implements. The average
farmer and his wife must make the
most of pantries, pans and other dairy
appliances at hand. Consumers have
learned that butter rapidly deterior-
ates if exposed to the air, hence small
packages are called for. Butter is never
so good as when used within one week
from the time it leaves the churn. 1t
possesses then delicate aroma and a
peculiar, indescribable flavor. which
soon passes away and is never present
thereafter; but butter properly made
can be kept sweet and in good order
for months. The surplus butter may
be kept and marketed III winter, when
prices are more remunerative. Get the
butter in good condition as soon as
possible after churning, and pack it
firmly in gallon or half gallon jars.
Those containing four or five pounds
are preferable When the jars are
bought ask the seller, as he marks the
weight of each, to number them, SO
that record of the amount of butter
in each jar can readily be kept. Pack
the Jars level full, tie round piece of
strong, thick cloth over the top, and
place it bottom side up, into u new
large crock.
Do not pack butter made at differ
ent times in the same jar, but store
only those jars that can be filed at
one churning. Make strong brine,
using all the salt the water will alb
sorb, adding to each gallon tea
spoonful of saltpetre and teacupful
of granulated sugar. Scald the brine
and skim it thoroughly. When cold
strain through , wet, thick cloth into
the crock. Add more brine from time
to time to keep the jars covered two
inches in depth. Tic q thick cloth
over the crock to protect from dust,
and over this place wooden cover to
exclude the light DO not keep the
crock on the cellar floor, even if it is
n cement one, but on q platform, if
possible, with Stats underneath the
crock to insure free circulation of air.
This will prevent mold forming on tho
bottom of the crock. 1t must be sold
as packed butter, but will bring O
good price. October is the best
month in which to pack butter for
winter home use. Several smaller
crooks may be used in which to store
the jars rather than use the large
crock. To cleanse jars and crooks use
Il bath of hot limewater, or strong
hot soda water. A simple method is
given by salt manufacturers for test
ing the purity of salt. Take as many
clear glass tumblers or goblets as
there are samples of salt. Put into
each the same quantity of clear cold
water. Drop into each tumbler tea
spoonful Of salt from one of the sew
eral samples and note the immediate
results. There will be scum, sedi-
ment, or milky color, varying with
the inferiority of the sample. The
water showing the least change will
contain the purest salt. American

TO PREVENT HORNS,

A cattle-raiser who has had large
experience uses caustic potash to pre-
vent horns growing, and in speaking
of remedies says:
81 consider it useless and cruel to
raise horns. prefer the caustic pot
ash remedy, as being easier applied
and much cheaper, five cents worth
being enough for about twenty calves.
1t must be kept in an alright bottle,
taking out just as much as you use at
one time and not returning to the
bottle any that is the least bit moist,
as it dissolves very easily. If you
have but one or two calves, your drug
gist will give you piece about one
and half inches long for penny.
Tie the Calls legs let one person hold
the head clip the hair from around
the horn.nubs the size of a nickel,
put something around the caustic to
keep from coming in contact with
your hand moisten one end of caus-
tic, rub on horn and as far around as
clipped, changing from one to the
other until the skin is thoroughly
burned. Then your work is done,
and you have q natural muley.' Do

INSECTS INJURISG WOOL.

There are several insects that will
damage wool. One is the common
wool-eating moth, another the hair
and wool-eating beetle. If the wool
is dirty there are flies that will depos-
it eggs in it, and these will injure it.
1t is to be considered that flesh and
wool are of almost the same compost
ton and character. and as wool has
much oil and grease in it the brown
beetles that infest the meat houses
will damage stored wool. The remedy
is very easy. Put the wool in close
apartment or bin, and pour pint Of
sulphide of carbon ON the bottom,
closing the receptacle as tight as pos
sible. No light must be used where
the wool is stored in this way, as this
fluid is explosive. New York Times.

The trouble that many farmers have
in keeping fowls out of the garden is
because they do not provide substi-
tute. 1t Is natural for hens to seek a
dusting place where they can clear off
any vermin that may be on them, or
without regard to this to take dust
bath, which is their way of keeping
skin and feathers in healthy condition.
A small place near the hen house
should be plowed and sown with
grain. 1t need be only u few feet
square, and may be dug with n spade
in few minutes. Then scatter and
lightly cover enough graiu to keep
the fowls busy. 1t is astonishing how
much Of tho time this rolling place
will be occupied and the garden will
wholly escape. When the hen goes
to the garden she makes directly for
the beds where the choicest seeds have
been sown, for here the ground has
been most thoroughly pulverized.
Give the hens as good place outside
the garden, and there will be no
trouble in growing garden truck, no
matter how many fowls are kept. But
the strawberry patch must be en-
closed. The fowls go there for diff
ferent purpose, and when they get a
taste of the fruit it is hard to keep
them out, however high the enclosure.

TIE WONDERFUL PEA,

To grow for feeding hogs and other
cattle, VIC can hardly overestimate the
value of the Wonderful peas. Here is
n crop that can be grown with ease in
four months time, that will yield q
hundred-fold or moro of feeding and
fattening food superior to corn. The
bacon made from hogs fed on peas is
much sweeter and more solid, aud the
fat will not run out i'll cooking nearly
SO much as cornfed. They grow SO
much quicker and larger than other
varieties, that poor land can be
brought up very quickly by their use !;
in fact, i'll less than four months their
great value is obvious to all, The
Rural New Yorker, speaking of this
class of peas, says; These belong to
the class called renovating crops; in d.
stead of making the soil poorer they
make it richer. and not only so, but
they also furnish protein for cattl ;
food. The signs OF the times indicate
that this class Of crops is to play a
leading part in the farming of the fu-
ture."
To grow for hay they are most val
liable, as they yield au immense guam
tity of feed of the best quality, and
produce the crop in So short time.
For ensilnge Wonderful peas are
unsurpassed, being much more nutri-
tious than green corn and other crops
used for that purpose.
They are desirable TO grow for
cooking for food, as they will yield a
supply of shelled peas for the table
for several weeks. --Colman's Rural
