CHAPTER XIV.

1t was not until the day had dawned
that Philip opened his eyes, and dis
covered Krantz kneeling at his side;
at first his thoughts were scattered
and confused; he felt that some dread
full calamity had happened to him,
but he could not recall to mind what
it was. At last it rushed upon him,
and he buried his face in his hands.
take comfort" said Krantz, 1--WE
shall probably gain the shore today
and we shall go in search of her as
soon as we can"
He offered such consolation as his
friendship could suggest. but in vain.
raised his head. After a few min
utes' thought, he rose up. eyes" re-
piled he, revenge! upon
those dastards and traitors! Tell me,
Krantz, how many can we trust?"
Half of the men, l should think,
at least. 1t was surprise" A spar
had been fitted as a rudder, and the
raft had now gained nearer the shore
than it ever had done before. The
men were in high spirits at the pros
his own store of dollars, which, in
their eyes, increased in value in pro-
portion as did their prospect Of escape.
Philip discovered from Krantz that
It was the soldiers and most indiffer-
ent seamen who had mutinied on the
night before and cut away the other
raft. and that all the best men had
remained neutral
"And so they will be now, l I'M
agine," continued Krantz "the pros
pect of gaining the shore has, in
manner, reconciled them to the treach-
cry of their companions"
probably" replied Philip, with
bitter laugh; "but / know what will
rouse them. Send them here to me-"
Philip talked to the seamen whom
Krantz had sent over to him. He
pointed out to them that the other
men were traitors not to be relied up
on: that they would sacrifice every
thing and everybody for their own
gain; that they had already done so
for money, and that they themselves
would have no security, either on the
raft or on the shore, with such peo-
pie; that they dare not sleep for fear
of having their Threats cut, and that 1t
were better at once to get rid of those
who could not be true to each other;
that it would facilitate their escape,
and that they could divide between
themselves the money which the others
had secured, and by which they could
double their own shares. That it had
been his intention, although he had
said nothing, to enforce the restoration
of the money for the benefit Of the
company as soon as they had gained
civilized port, where the authorities
could interfere; but that If they con-
sented to join and aid him, he would
now give them the whole of it for their
own use.
What will not the desire Of gain eff
feet? Is 1t therefore to be wondered
at that these men, who were, indeed,
but little better than those who were

From Farmers Review: The work
OF this insect was very noticeable In
the strawberry patches during the past
summer. In many instances where
the attacks of the insect were pro-
1onged, large numbers Of Slants were
killed through the loss Of their foliage'
Quite often the strawberry patches
had the appearance Of having been
scorehed In spots by fire. In Kansas
there appear to be three dlstinc'
broods during one season; each sue
ceeding brood becoming more numer-
Gus, and consequently more destruc-
tive. The following observations were
made during the past year. On June
IA the first brood of adults commenceu
to appear, and continued to emerse

second brood were being laid; Oh

been stepped and rugged, and the sails
set (although there was hardly
breath of wind, Philip explained to
the men the necessity of reducing the
quantity of water, and it was agreed
that 1t should be served out so as to ex-
tend the supply to twelve days, the
allowance being reduced to half pint
per day.
There was a debate at this time, as
the raft was in two parts, whether
it would not be better to cast off the
smaller one, and put all the people on
board the other; but this proposal Was
overruled, as, in the first place, al
though the boats had deserted them,
the number on the raft had not much
diminished, and moreover, the raft
would steer much better under sail now
that it had length, than 1t would do

poured down his hot beams upon them,
and the want Of water was severely
felt; those who continued to drink
spirits suffered the most.
The night closed in as before; the
stars shone bright, but there was no
moon. Philip had risen at midnight
to relieve Krantz from the steerage OF
the raft. Usually the men had lain
about in every part of the raft, but
this night the majority Of them re-
manned forward. Philip was commun-
ing with his own bitter thoughts, when
he heard scuff1e forward, and the
voice of Krantz crying out to him for
help. He quilted the helm, and seiz-
ing his cutlass ran forward, where he
found KrantZ down. and the men Sc
curing him. He fought his way to him,
but was himself seized and disarmed.
Cut away-cut away" was called out
by those who held him; and in few
seconds Philip had the misery to be-
hold the after-part of the raft, with
Anime upon it, drift apart from the
one on which he stood.
For mercy's sake! my wife-my
Amine!-for Heavens sake, save ner!'
cried Philip, struggling in vain to
disengage himself. Anime also, who
had run to the side of the raft held
out her arms-it was in vain-they
were separated by more than cable:
length. Philip made one more desper-
ate struggle, and then fell down de-
prived of sense and motion.

HELD COURT AT DOG SHOW.
A Pretty Girl and the Attention She
Attracted by Her Actions.

Attracted by Her Actions.
Over at the dog show on the open
ing night a pretty girl followed by the
customary masculine throng that al
ways circulates around pretty girl
as a moth Whirls around candle, wan
dered through the aisles Of the First
regiment armory and listened to all the
noisy CANNES sing their doleful songs
of woe and wrong. She patted the
heads of the ugliest bulldogs and twist
ed a bunch of violets into the collar
of a shaggy st. Bernard.
She pulled the tails OF the kinkleu
pugs and tweaked the ears OF the Jaun-
ty fox-terriers. She righted a collar
that had turned awry and even ven
tured to make friends with the blood
hounds. The dogs were happy ana
so was, the pretty girl The delight OF
the escorting masculine throng was
not so evident, but they pretended al
least that they enjoyed playing second
fiddle to a dog rather than not having
a chance to take part in her orchestra
at all.
One great bulldog evidently shared
the sentiments of the men. When the
pretty girl reached the cage that con-
tanned the ferocious looking brute she
found it had no water and was bark
ing its dissatisfaction at the turn OF
affairs In the most emphatically pro-
testing manner.
1.-THE poor dog" exclaimed the girl
in crescendo accents Of pity, and &c
once she remedied the evil by helping
her four-footed friend to some water
stolen from the neighboring cage. Aft
er that act of mercy the dog, like the
men, was her abject victim.
1t put both paws on her shoulders
and laid its head down affectionately'
and when the girl attempted to wander
away the dog cried so piteously that
she returned again and again to COM
fort it. Poor thing" exclaimed one
of the surrounding men with a whim-
steal grimace, poor thing. Who said
that a dog hadn't the feelings of
man."
The pretty girl laughed and blushed
and rewarded the speaker with the
present of very special smile.

Farmers. Test Your Seed.

From Farmers Review:-A poor
stand of any crop may in most In
stances be traced to poor seed. 1t may
be immature or too old. Most seed
deterlorates rapidly after from one to
three years. Immature seed Is most
often met with in the so-called nay
crops as alfalfa, millet and timothy,
for in these 1t is impossible to harvest
the crop so as to get all the seeds ma
tured and at the same time avoid shat
tering. The benefits of testing, may be
summed up as follows: Testing the
seed some time before planting time
enables one to make arrangements Tor
other seed should the first lot prove
worthless. II the per cent Of good SEED
be not SO low as to make 1t advisable
to get new lot, one can readily cal
culate how much more seed than ordl-
nary to plant to secure the required
stand. For instance If in test OF lOO
alfalfa seeds but rs terminate then
one-third more seed must be planted
to give the stand that perfect SEED
would give. AS even the standard
quality seed contains certain per cent
Of seeds which will not terminate (tne
per cent varies with the Variety THIS
fact must be considered in determining
the amount to sow. AS simple an ap-
paratus as can be suggested is two oih-
ner plates of uniform size placed Top
