The large and increasing circulation
of The Iowa Homestead in this county
is q matter for congratulstion to the
publishers and to good farming, for, of
all the papers of its class in the coun-
try, it is easily the best and most help
full. Its Special Farmers Institute
editions, issued with the regular edition
the first week in each month, have been
for years the admiration of all practi-
cal farmers. Written wholly by farm
ers, they are full of actual experience,
and smell of the soil. We have been
fortunate enough this season to secure
terms for The Homestead and its Spec
ial Farmers Institute Editions, together
with The Poultry Farmer and The
Farmers Mutual Insurance Journal,
four of the most valuable farm publ
cations in the country, that enable us to
offer the four in connection with our
own paper for $3.50 for the entire five,
one year. This is emphatically good
thing, and no farmer in this county
should fail to take advantage of this
offer. For large line of thoroughly
practical farm reading nothing has ever
been offered before that equals it. A
county paper, q farm paper, poultry
paper, farm insurance paper and the
| Special Farmers Institute, all for 81. 80

might be in one of the streams or In a
cleft of the rocks. Nobody knows
Nobody can tell you. When we are
gone-for we shall go-you can come
and search, for you cannot hurt my
father now"
Beautiful as this logged tllial feeling
might, in the abstract, be, Mason was
irrltated by 1t. He was anxious to get
away. Gwyn, looking up, saw the i'm
patient look on his face. She sprang
up and stood before him, trembling
and agitated.
"You want to get away! You want
to get free and forget us" said she, in
a strange tone, with mingled bitterness
and tenderness. well, you are right!
Forget US all-if you can!'
Something in her tone touched him,
and he spoke in softened voice as he
answered.:
"There are things shall never for
get, that never wish to forget. A wo-
mans unselfish kindness and care; her
good, noble face and her heroic devo.
ton will forget everything but those
things as quickly as can"
He held out his hand and she took II
with a shy look, which haunted hin
for months afterward.
"Goodby," said she softly. "Goodby

"And Merrick? And your grand
mother, who saved my lifeY
Don't wait to see them. They wou's

Even as she spoke she hurried acros

He had no choice but to go.
"Goodby," said she once more, wit
little catch in her voice, though tn
hand she held out again was steady.
"What will become Of your"

They were outside the door. Kint

scene of the recent fatality, the first
object that met their gaze was the old
bateau, splintered and bottom up, drift
ing slowly down the stream, and the
next object was that identical alligator
lying In exactly the same place on the
hank.
Clarence raised his rife, threw itt
muzzle within ten feet of the gators
head and fired. The bullet passed
through the saurian's eye and entered
his brain. He gave spasmodic strug

was dead. =.

"Why, dar, master, dar-see how him

to ridge that seemed to extend down
the gators stomach.
"Yes, dar Brer' lobe, suah nuff," sale

They cut wider and pulled, ant

"Fore de Lord" exclaimed Bob, '4,

Clarence fired off both barrels of hii

across for him.
He said. and he always stuck to it
that when the boat capsized he struck
on the gators back, and from there
scrambled ashore.
"But didn't you hear me call, Uncls

Ing her foot and pointing to the path
down the hill, imperiously signed to
him to go.
AS he turned, sorrowfully, regret
fully, full of bubbling passion and long
Ing tenderness, to obey her she ran off,
waving her hand with an affectation
Of light heartedness in the direction Of
the ruined church. She was going to
hide herself among the old stones, to
cry, perhaps to pray and to mourn his
going.
For one minute he hesitated whether
he should give up everything and go
back and strain her to his arms and
bind himself here forever when his
ardor was checked by little circum-
stance.
Just as she reached the north. wall
she stumbled, and man darted out of
the shade and supported her in his
arms. Mason watched the meeting
breathlessly. The man was Coch Tai,
honest, loving, faithful to the end.
He caught her swaying figure tender
~, not greatly daring.
But Mason saw In the girls attitude
as she let herself be led back to the
house little change. She was pas
sive. She did not repulse her lover, as
she had once done. That terrible event
Of the morning had altered the whole
course of life at Monachlog, had bro
ken the spell which had bound them
all.
Mason felt the tears rising to his
eyes as he turned away, and lump in
his throat which was brought there by
some feeling strong as joy, but keen as
jealousy.
She would fall into her old lovers
arms as she had fallen into his heart
some day.
Three months later Mason came
back to the old farm, which he found
empty and deserted.
He searched every corner and every
nook. He examined every stream and
every cleft He engaged men Of expert

down into the passage which had once
connected the monastery with the val
ley below. Some human bones he
found, buried in quicklime. dry and
brittle, at the bottom Of this passage.
But they had evidently been there a
couple Of years and more.
1t was the only fruit Of his research
es. For no trace of the body of his
brother Granville was ever found.

often applied to him, there is little
doubt but that his beard was q false
one, and worn only on occasions when
he was willing to be recognized as the
pirate captain. Undoubtedly he often
visited cities and plantations on our
southern coast and there laid his plans
for raid, which SOON followed.
The fact as related in regard to his
kidnapping negroes from planters Of one
section and selling them to those of an
other Is traditional. So, also, is the San
Domingo episode in which the reader
frst makes the acquaintance of Black
Beard.
He undoubtedly successfully cleaned
out the vaults of several banks; de-
spoiled many merchantmen at sea, and
held the entire southern coast in ter
rOr.
He was o man of more than ordinary
intelligence, of Herculean frame, brave
and daring, and his craft, two-mast
schooner which not many crafts of
Uncle Sam could overhaul, many time
