Smokeless powder isn't advantageous in all respects, and so a new smoke shell has been invented by a French man and adopted by the French gov ernment. The new shell is designed to put dense cloud of smoke between the enemy and his assailants, so that an accurate return fire cannot be made. It is a return to old conditions made necessary by experience on fields where smokeless powder has been used.

It is said that prairie-dogs destroy fifty per cent. of the grass and wheat in Texas. A new method to overcome the prairie-dog pest has been discover ed, and is being generally adopted by the farmers and stockmen. It has been learned that the animals can be exter- minated by suffocation, the method be- ing to saturate a piece of cotton with bisulphide of carbon. This is dropped into the prairie-dogs mound and cov- cred over. It rapidly generates gas, which sinks, and suffocates the animals in the burrow, Millions of prairie-dogs have been killed in this manner during the last few months. A number of men have taken hold of the work as a regu- lar business, and they take contracts to rid farms and ranches of the pest at the rate of four cents per acre.

CHAPTER XII.
Righteousness shall go before him and shall set

The bishop was not in the habit OF
carrying much money with him, and
the man with the stake, who was
searching him, uttered an oath at the
small amount of change he. found. As
he uttered it the man with the pistol
savagely said: clerk out his watch!
We might as we'll get all we can out Of
the job.
The man with the stake was on the
point of laying hold Of the chain when
there was the sound Of footsteps coming
toward them. !.
"Get behind the fenoe! We haven'Ss
half searched him yet. Mind you keep
shut now if you don't wa nt''-
The man with the pistol made sig
nifcant gesture with it, and his COM

down the alley and through, ragged

stood still there in the shadow until the
footsteps passed. *' +.

''No; the chain is caught some

again. --~.

"No; don't break it, the bishop
said, and it was the first time he had
spoken. 1.-The chain is the gift of a

At the sound of the bishops voice
the man with the pistol started as if he

toward what little light was shining
