Private LoXton marched into the or
derly-room, a prisoner, with head
erect, and lips compressed, and the
sullen. -scornful look of d man who
has done his worst, and defies every
thing and everybody.
When the commanding officer had
finished speaking, Private Loxton
marched out, a free man, his head still
erect, but with a curious lump in his
throat, and an unaccustomed mist be-
fore his eyes. He was man enough
to know what a lie, told on his death
bed, must have meant to the padre
and he swore a solemn oath that the
sacrifice should not be unavailing.
He had a hard part to play in the
days that followed. Day by day he
went to the hospital to ask anxious
ly for the news; day by day he came
dejectedly away. knowing that the
padres life was hanging on very
slender thread. Then, one day, the
padre asked to see him. There was not
much said at the meeting. Private
Loxton threw himself upon his knees
and sobbed convulsively into the bed
clothes, while the padres thin, weak
hand rested caressingly on the rough,
shaking head.
But, from that day forth, Private
Loxton was installed as the padres
orderly. No man could have tried
harder to make amends for his sin;
no woman could have been more ten
der than the big, clumsy man.
And the padre was dragged slowly
back again to life. and, at last, shad-
ow even of his former puny self, was

end, the padre held out his hand, Pri
vate Loxton took it, and gripped il
hard
You're a frst-rate little beggar

plucked 'un, too. Curse me if III hurt
you. Get off home"
He took up the rifle resting against
the tree, and, with the touch. the mac
light, which had partially died out
from his eyes, came into them again.
And still the padre stOod.there. His
ear had caught the far-off Sound Of
wheels, and he knew that Private LoX
toms prey was drawing near. Private
Loxton heard it, too.
"Will you go?" he cried, his whole
body trembling with rage.
mot unless you come with me-" sale
the padre, quietly.
The muzzle of the rife touched hi:
breast, and a quivering finger was or
the trigger. The sound of the wheels
was coming very near.

Private Loxton. "Will you go|
NO" said the padre.
Then he fell back at full length into
the underground, clutching at q
singed hole in his coat, while the re
port still rang in the air, and a thin
puff of smoke curled up among the
bamboo branches.

how. doctor. We've nothing like proof
enough against Private LoXton yet, i

Then another voice: when [ got

him. crying. He said he'd shot the
only man who cared a straw for him
And since then he's been dumb"
The padre lay still. and thought, in
a feeble sort of way, for what seemed
hours, while the hushed voices spoke
beside him. Then he said, family:
Am going to die?'
The doctors voice was very low and
kind, and strove to be very reassur'
ing, but the padres brain was clear
enough now to understand that death
might be very near indeed.
II think I'm strong enough to tell
you all about it," he murmured. And
they took down his deposition. There
was a long silence when he had fin
ished, and then a whispered converse
ton. At last grave voice said: IT'S
my duty to tell you, sir, that if things
go wrong, the odds are you may die.
Knowing that, will you still swear it
was an accident?"
YES" said the padre, firmly.
And then he tainted.

knew him no more. And Private Lox-
ton, with one year still to serve, re-
NAMED behind to work out his own
salvation.
Later, he left for England, too, a
time-expired soldier, and, still more
a man. His destination was a quiet

FAILED AS A MATCHMAKER
che King Of Denmark Tried His Hand
at 1t, But Met with Mis-
fortune.

The king of Denmark takes an ac-
tive interest in the welfare of even
the humblest of his subjects. The
man who is now the "home farmer"
to his majesty had been known by
him from his early boyhood and was
the son of one of the kings wealthiest
farmers. A few years ago, says a Lon
don paper, he fell desperately in love
with q pretty milkmaid who was In
the employ of his parents. As usual,
the course of true love did not run
smooth, for the father was extremely
annoyed and Inundated when he
heard of this little affair and ordered
his offspring to give up any idea OF
ever becoming welded to girl be-
longing to the servant class. Nothing
daunted, the young fellow went
straight to the king and entreated
him to intercede for him and for his
fair inamorata. The good king, much
touched by the evident distress OF
the lad, did as he was asked, and, or
course, there remained nothing for
the irate father to do but to yield
with as good grace as he could
muster. As soon as the wedding had
been celebrated King Christian gave
the young man the charge of his home
farm and showed great kindness and
generosity to the young couple. I'm
fortunately, however, this love match,
like many another, turned out badly.
Disputes became more and more fire.
uuent. the husband awakening too
late. alasl to the fact that, apart from
her good looks, his wife had few of
the qualities which he would have
liked to encounter in woman for
whose sake he had sacrificed the at
lection of his father. Finally, few
days ago the romance of the farmer
and the dairy maid ended in a trag-
edy, for the husband shot himself in
a moment of hopeless encouragement,
and the king is deeply grieved and
much depressed by this catastrophe
which he feels to have been brought
about by his interference with pure
ly family matter.

Coal I'm the Rockies.

By far the most important mining
work in progress in British Columbia
is the opening up of the vast areas
of the Crows Nest-undoubtedly one
of the largest coal properties known.
The measures occur in the heart of
the Rockies and extend north and
south a distance of 40 miles, stretch
ing east and west ten miles from the
banks of the Elk river toward the
boundary line between Alberta and
British Columbia. The area is, of
course, reduced by the creeks which
abound on the mountain slopes and
from which the coal measures have
been eroded, but sufficient remains to
constitute the coal fields, unique in
extent as they are in richness.

Increa.inr the Tomato Crop.

If you want your tomato plants to
bear plenty of fruit do not feed them
too literally with manure until each
is furnished with at least three punches
of fruit. Too much manure encour-
ages rank growth, which is not con-
ducive to fruit bearing. Keep all side
shoots removed, allowing one main
stem only to each plant. Do not re-
move any of the leaves unless they are
dying or infected with disease. To-
matoes in greenhouses should get plen-
ty of air daily. During the middle Of
the day give each plant a gentle shake
to distribute the pollen and insure fruit
forming freely.

that the best way is to set out the bed

no fruit till the following season their

The building is never used for the pur-
pose for which it was originally built and
is bringing in no taxes.
BY leasing it at a dollar a year to the
creamery company as long as it is used
by it for that purpose is as good a use as
it could be put to and it will bring new
and profitable industry to Carson.
Every taxpayer in the town should
