Agricultural Experiments.

President John s. Pillsbury, of the
state university board of regents, has
prepared his annual report on the ag-
ricultural experiment station. The
work that is being carried on at the
various sub-stations is described in de-
tail. The farm at Grand Rapids now
comprises IS acres. What was at one
time a heavy wooded plat has now
been so improved as to allow the use
OF machinery. In muskeg swamp
open draining work has been in pro-
gress, with experiments in what kinds
OF vegetables will best grow on it.
At the Coteau farm in Lyon county
the study of soil moisture, soil fertili-
ty, production of forage crops and for.
estry production has been carried on
for some time. The forestry planta-
ton, started in 1894, is reported as be-
ing in excellent condition.
The Federal government appropri-
ates $4,000 annually for the work in
this state, but the total expense
amounts to over $4,000.

CHAPTER TX

When the door had closed behind her,
Hendricks gave deep sigh and smiled
family.
"She doesn't know what an awfully
narrow escape had" he began. "When
retired last night was so overcome
with fatigue that I hardly could take
time to undress. I actually fell asleep
while sitting on the side of the bed
to take off my boots. almost tumbled
to the floor, and that reused me suf-
ficiently to complete the operation.
"The first intimation of danger came
to me in dream. thought I was in
the basement of burning building,
confined in a room, the walls of which
were solid masonry and the doors of
iron. Iseemed to be choking and gasp
ing for breath. It was no dream; il
was reality as far as the sitting sensa-
ton was concerned, for on waking I
found my arms pinioned, a weight on
my breast and towel saturated with
chloroform held tightly over my nos
trils.
My Lord! it was awful. Every vein
in me seemed on fire. felt as if had
been pumped full of ignited gas. I
tried to scream, but my human night
mare" prevented that, or the slightest
movement on my part.
"All at once the thought struck into
my benumbed consciousness that was
IN the clutch OF my secret foe, and with
that came a sort of repugnant despera-
ton that had strength. threw out my
right hand, and catching the towel
wrenched it from my nose, and then
sucked down into me Whit of Gods
pure air. It seemed to act on me like
releasing a gigantic spring, for I
hurled him from me as you would a
singing lizard. heard him strike the
middle of the floor and grunt as the
breath went out of him. Then I felt
hastily under my pillow, and missing
my revolver, and hearing click from
where he crouched, knew that he had
nabbed it. I was on my feet in mo-
ment, and you can bet did some tall
lodging in the darkness, for I knew
was his target. I saw him moving as
moved, trying to get an aim at me, and
all the time I was edging, sometimes
erect, again on all tours, toward the
corner where I knew that old sword
stood-a relic of the Revolution.
Before he pulled the trigger had
hold of it. He heard it rattle and
blazed" away. His bullet struck the
brass scabbard, glanced off and crashed
into that mirror there. The flash helped
me locate him, and jerking my weap-
on from its rusty sheath, I dashed at
him, hoping to cut him down before he
got another shot. My first furious
thrust with such a formidable weapon
astonished him, and he backed, cooking
the gun as he did so: gave him stab
right at the breast. It would have run
. itwo-inch plank through, but it had
no more effect on him. than if I had
struck the iron sides Of an American
;man-of-war. He had on bullet-proof
suit of clothes n heard him laugh
derisively, and then he fired again. I
felt the twinge in my side just 90 my
mother screamed below, and then Twas
almost overpowered BY the thought

State Funds.

The state had ss72poo in the treas
ury at tho close of the month of No.
vember, CT which sos, 600 is in the gen
eral fund, $3s3,000 in the permanent
school and university funds, and the
rest in special funds. The treasurer
has a right to go into the pocket where
the state keeps it's troll" to meet a
temporary deficit in the change pocket,
which is the revenue fund, and such
an overdraft would have been made If
the state prison had not turned in
$125,ooo the other day. Money for the
October settlements will be coming in
now, so that there will be no shortage
when the legislature meets.

CHAPTER VIII.

The next morning on arriving at his
office after having been unavoidably de-
tanned uptown for an hour, DR.. Lampkin
found messenger-boy awaiting him.
"Are you DR.. Lampkin?'' asked the
boy, retaining the envelope for which
the doctor had extended his hand.
Il am answered Lampkin, impa-
tiently. "Why do you doubt it?"
II had orders at the office to deliver
the message only to DR.. Lampkin," re-
piled the boy. They told me it was
very urgent. but had to wait here. I
was afraid I'd miss you if 1 went up to
your house."
"Quite right" said the doctor, and
ne opened the letter, which bore the lit
tie yellow seal, peculiar to the impor-
tant communications sometimes sent
him by Hendricks.
"Come without moments delay-let
nothing hinder you-to my house" ran
the message. Bring instruments to
probe for bullet. Come in at the rear.
My mother will be on the lookout to
admit you. Don't attract attention.
Explanation when see you. Hen
dricks.''
mo answer" said Lampkin to the
boy. He quickly got the required in
struments together and put on his hat
and overcoat.
mo telling what has happened, and
I'm behind time," he grumbled in
wardly. "For aught I know Hendricks
may have shot the wrong man and be
in frightful muddle.''
Fifteen minutes later the doctor was
entering the side gate behind Hen
bricks house, after having successful
ly lodged unobserved into an alley
leading from the main thoroughfare.
He was vending his way through col
lection of ash-receivers, garbage-bar-
rels, and bundles of waste-paper, when
he saw Mrs. Hendricks white head ap-
pear at the kitchen door.
"Oh, I'm so glad you got here at
last!" she exclaimed. Il have been al
most crazy with impotence. He
wouldn't listen to anyone else being
called in, and am afraid he is serious
ly hurt"
"What has happened?" inquired
Lampkin, excited in spite of his profess
sional calmness by her manner.
''Oh, everything!" exclaimed the agi-
tated woman as she hurried him
through the dining-room, sitting-room
and library to the stairs in the front
hall. "For the love of God, DR.. Lamp
kin-you are his best friend-do urge
him to give up this perilous existence.
The worry of it is slowly killing me.
You see, was with him when he so mar
rowly escaped from that awful bomb,
and now this is the second attempt on
his life, and know they will succeed
sooner or later, if they have not actual

kin, as he sprang after her up the stairs.
She made no reply. The next mo-
ment she reached the door of the de-
tective's room, and opened it.. n
Hendricks, white as ghost, and with
dark marks under the eyes, sat in big

rug over his legs and feet.

School Books Stolen.

Thieves broke into the Meyers school
house, district No. 9, Dodge county,
stole all the library books and scat
tered them through the streets of Sky
berg. The district had purchased
about $40 worth of new text books,
and it is presumed the thieves intend
ed to take those, and when they found
out their mistake were so mad they
threw the old books away.
