Is Nebraska in the Corn Belt?

Now that Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson is making a personal inspection
of the condition of the corn belt, it is to
be hoped he will revise the opinion he
has recently expressed that Nebraska is
outside of the corn belt. Up to this
year the corn belt area was presumed
to cover the states of Illinois, Iowa,
Missouri, Indiana, Kansas and Ne.
braska. Secretary Wilson insists that
the true corn belt is comprised in the
states of Iowa, Illinois and Missouri
while Nebraska and Kansas are classed
with the semi arid states.
During the past five years the rank in
the order of production of corn of the
six states that have been mentioned was

CHAPTER XIX.
The Flood.

| ne tlOOu,
The great storm had an influence
upon all the characters Of this history,
and to this influence some of the STIR
ring events which follow may be at
tributed.
1t placed great barrier between the
royalists on the south and the repub-
licans on the north side Of the swollen
orinoco, and delayed the departure Of
Philip of Aragon toward the capital.
But to no one did 1t bring such dis
tress and danger, change OF plan and
disaster as to the two young Amerl-
cans and the wife and daughter of
General Salvarez, who had up to that
time been secure in their underground
retreat.
The first day Of the storm they were
content to wait quietly in their ap-
parently safe shelter fearing nothing
But on the second day, when the
roar Of the rushing waters reached
their ears, they began to feel anxious
not only for themselves but for Sal
varez, for they did not know how far
he had got on his journey.
On the third day their anxiety for
themselves became so great that near
ly everything else was driven from
their minds Toward night, on this
third day, the Coroni so far overhowed
its banks as to send rushing, roaring
stream into the secret passage,

when the water began pouring in and
spreading out over the floor of the
caverns. "once before there was
storm like this, and the caverns be-
came filled with water"
rs there any possibility Of escape?"
asked Tempest.
Jacinta looked obviously from one
to the other.
"The flatboat" cried Dona Maria,
suddenly III we could but reach 1t.
1t Is strong-it can outlive the storm.
It is not far from the entrance to the
secret passage, II II has not been car
ried away Nothing could upset It."
"The very thing" said Medworth.
Remember, Jack, the large boat at
the wharf Just above? We have seen
1t often enough"
Good" said Tempest. 1--WE ought
to be able to go to 1t, even IL we had
to swim"
Come on" said Medworth, now
thoroughly alert and alive to the dan
gers and possibilities Of the situation.
He darted toward the entrance with
Tempest splashing along close behind
him, leaving Dona Maria and Jacinta
huddled together, fearing, hoping, 81
lently watching and trusting their
brave companions.
The stream Of water that poured in
through the entrance was about foot
deep, and the roar Of the storm and
torrent about them was deafening.
There was no need for caution. The
night was dark, and so fierce was the
storm that no sentry was outside of
the castle or the soldiers quarters.

Prof Marsh of Wisconsin, In speak.
ing recently Of the peculiarlties Of
Lake Wlnnebago, said that 1t is re-
markable for its shallowness. Al
though 1t is about twenty-eight miles
In width, 1t has q depth of only
twenty-five feet, This is due to the
fact that the lakes outlet is constantly
deepening and that It's inlet is gradu-
ally filling its bottom with a sandy OF
earthly deposit, But Winnebagos
shallowness makes 1t remarkably rich
in fish; indeed, 1t is one Of the most
productive known. Shallow lakes al
ways have more fish than deep ones,
chiefly, perhaps, because there is more
vegetation ON the bottom Of the shall
low one. Vegetation does not flourish
in deep water.

CHAPTER Xxx.
Tempest's Flight.


Here's a pretty mess I'm ln," said
Tempest, when he had realized the full
extent of the disaster that had come
upon him. "The water rising rapidly,
ground almost covered and the rain
coming down harder than ever, and
the flatboat, our last and only hope,
gone and left me- What am to do, I'd
like to know"
He raised his voice to its full vol
ume and shouted Medworth's name,
but had he possessed twice the lung
power he could not have made himself
heard on the boat that was being rap
idly borne away In the darkness.
He scrambled back to the highest
point of land along the river, the top
Of the sloINng side that led down to
the waters edge when the river was at
It's proper level, and here, just above
the food that was rising to meet him,
he stood a moment to collect his scat
tered senses. II he wished to live II
was plain that he must think quickly
and to some purpose, and to act as
quickly His frst thought was to re-
turn to the secret passage 1t sudden
ly occurred to him that he had no
weapon. But In great emergencies,
when Tempest was Obliged to think
quickly, he acquitted himself credit
ably. 1t was so In this instance, as It
had been in many others all over the
world.
First" he muttered to himself, ~
will make His Royal Nlbs a visit and
see II l can borrow q gun. Then I'll
borrow horse and get away to a
higher country, for, II am not much
mistaken, this part will be entirely
under water In twenty hours more"
Upon reaching this conclusion he
did not hesitate, but plunged through
the increasing depth of water that was
pouring in through the entrance to
the caverns, and floundered through
the swash toward the lantern that still
hung high up where the water would
not reach It for a few hours at least.
He hurried up the stone steps to the
sliding panel.
Putting his ear to this, he heard
voices. At first they were low and in
distinct, and Tempest could not hear
the words. But a heavy footstep
sounded, and then he heard the we'll
known voice of Gomez.

Medworth took his knife from his
pocket and severed the rope.
With a mighty rush the boat swung
down stream and across 1t, bringing
up with a crash against the opposite
bank, short distance below the se-
cret passage.
"Hurray!" shouted Tempest, III we
can wind up forty feet OF rope we can
bring It to the entrance"
They entered the deck-house and
found that with only one mooring the
boat moved against the stream as
easily as across the current, Ten min
utes OF hard work brought them to the
mouth Of the caverns.
Without hesitatlng, Medworth leaped
of and made his way to the hole,
"Dona Marlal" he shouted, "Jacln-
Ia! Comet We have the boat and are
waiting for you"
The voice Of Dona Maria answered
him, and soon the wife and daughter
OF Salvarez were at the entrance,
Can you get out?" asked Medworth
extending his hand to assist them.

Dona Maria, as, half by her own exer.
tions and half by Medworth's help, she
scrambled out of the hole. Jacinta fol
lowed her.
To reach the boat, which could moi
be brought nearer than twelve feet tc
the mouth of the passage, they were
forced to founder through from one t
four feet Of water, the depth increas
ing as they drew nearer the boat, ant
Medworth found himself unable t
keep both women on their feet.

splashed through the water to Ar

of his purpose. Every detail Of the
