CHAPTER XVIII.
The Ruined Temple.

When the wind first began to roar
and Shrek over the hill ON which
Lord Chugmough and William had
pitched their temporary camp, the first
disastrous result was that their horses,
which, perhaps, knew enough to rec
ognize the warning in the sound, broke
their bounds and galloped away.
AS the patter of their feet on the
hillside died away, Lord Chugmough
shrugged his shoulders.
"our 'osses ave gone, me lord" said
William.
$50 have discovered, William" was
the calm reply. "But was getting
rather weary of the brutes, to tell the
truth, We will walk awhile now"
Just so, me lord. Walkin his
'ealthy herexcise, prowldin' a man as
a comfortable sidewalk to take is con-
stitutional hon."
Lork Chugmough waved his hand
depreclatingly
"Habout the deer, me lord, the osses
bein' gone"
Don't alarm yourself needessly,
William" said Lord Chugmough II
will carry the deer on my shoulder"
Suiting the action to the word, when
Lord Chugmough had got his pipe
fairly alight, he seized the half
skinned carcass of the deer and slung
1t across his shoulder with apparently
no effort.
"Come, William" he said, and he led
the way down the eastern slope Of the
mountain.
After he had walked some distance
through cedar, caoutchouc and ebony
trees, he paused.
William" he said, ''it seems to me
that we have here sort OF path
where people have recently walked.
The path did not lead straight up
the mountain, toward the top, but
wound around it. Lord Chugmough
struck into the path, and William fol-
lowed him.
After walking short distance, they
came upon an old stone ruin.
What have we here, William"

Emerson M u Model.

Mr.. d. G. French, the sculptor, tells
with much relish, the story Of his OK
periences when he was commissioned
to make the bust of Ralph Waldo EN-
erson, which Is now in Memorial hall
of Harvard university. At one Of the
sittlngs, says Mr.. French, Mr. Emerson
rose suddenly and walked over tc
where the artist was working. He
looked long and earnestly at the bust,
and then, with an inimitably droll eX.
preston, he said "The trouble is the
more 1t resembles me the worse II
looks" After the sculptor had finish.
cd the bust he asked Mr., Emerson to
inspect 1t. The philosophers opinion
was Enthusiastically terse.
We'll" he said at last, that is the
face shave" Mr.. Emerson, Mr..
French relates, made one Of his quaint
observations about another bust, the
work of another artist, 1t was char
acterless kind of thing, and showed not
the slightest hint Of the Emerson char
acter After looking 1t over, Emer-
son said:
1T looks as harmless as a parsnip,
doesn't it?"

and there, thereby covering hundred
and sixty acres,
have no doubt but that this coun-
try excels as grazing or ranching
country, because they have such rich
grass, having an abundance OF rain to
keep II fresh. They also have plenty
OF water streams, and as rule water
may DO reached at a depth of from 20
to 40 feet. From this you can see
there can be plenty of hay mown for
winter feeding, and l have had ro-
liable farmers TO tell me that their
stock will feed on hay alone, and bo
ready for market in tho spring, Upon
inQulrlng about the expense Of raising
a steer, farmer replied that he did
not consider 1t would cost any moro
than 81 or SO to develop a three-year-
old steer.
l truly think Canada offers a fine
opening for a young man or u man
who is renting land in Indiana Ono
hundred and sixty acres OF good black
land will cost you oniy $40 at the time
you enter It, and by plowlng and cul-
tlvating Ave acres each year for three
years, gives you one hundred and sixty
acres OF good land for $40, This land
can be bought from the railroad COM
panles, private corporations or the gov
ernment for SO to "a per acre,
From financial standpoint, / be-
llovo that for a series OF years (1ve)
young man can make $40 In Canada,
whereas he would only make 81 here,
and / feel sure that l spent moro
money TO get my eighty acre farm In
White county, Indiana, cultivated than
II would cost me to cultivate eight
hundred acres in Canada. This may
seem q strong view to take OF tho
matter but when you take into con-
sderation the clearing, ditching, fenc-
ing and the expensive breaking In OF
the stumps, and then compare the ex-
pense TO that Of land needing only the
breaking, you will conclude that 1t is
not such wild or exaggerated state
ment as you might at first think,

phore, which was bracing and refresh
ing, and the cool nights which made 1t

On making inquiries regarding the
winters in this country, / learned that
the people never suffer from the cold,
as the weather is dry and invigorat-
ing, and In great many places farm
ers and herders allow their stock to
run outside the year round,
One great advantage to the settlers
in Western Canada is the free cream-
cries established by the government
and run exclusively in the interest
of the farmer.

To My Many Frlends--I am pleased
TO make a report to you of the pleasant
visit my wife and | had in Western
Canada.
We visited the territories OF AL
berta, AsslniboIa, and Saskatchewan,
and found them far surprising our Inn
aglnAtion, but little did | expect to
and such rich, loamy soil, 80 much
OF II, and 30 uniform In It's level pral-
rie lay, do think the soil Of Canada
~ rulo equals II not excels the fin
est prairie farm lands of Indiana,
These lands are immense In their
richness, and when once the sod is rot
ted and pulyerlzed, 1t Is as pliable and
as easily cultivated as Indiana sandy
soil.
Western Canada, from my point OF
view offers as fine opportunities for
mixed farming as any place in my
knowledge, The long sunshlny days,
together with the rich soil, produce
very fine wheat, oats, barley, fax and
other cereal products, There is scarce
y any attempt to raise corn, except
early varieties for table use. The sea-
son is too short to depend upon ma
turing field corn. From the stand
point Of getting this land ready for
the plow must say that | never saw
such a vast extent, practically all
ready so all that one has to do Is to
hitch up the plow and 60 to work.
This Is not the case with all the
Canadian land, however; some OF 1t
has quite bit Of timber Bluch of 1t
may be called brush land and some of
1t has lovely forest groves dotted here

II you do not accustom yourself TO
drink water regularly, you are liable
10 have the waste products OF the It's
sues OF the body form faster than they
are removed. Great weakness and
langor on rising In tho morning Is
generally due to a large secretion OF
these waste products, and the remedy
Is to drink q tumblerful Of water

highly probable that II q search-party
was sent off to the north Lord Chug-
mough would calmly walk into camp
from the south, and then V would be
necessary to send out another party
to recover the first one.
So they waited, and continued 10
walt until II became the unanimous
opinion Of the party that sord Chug-
mough and william had been killed or
lost their way, and the indecislon of
Sir Galloping Grace and George, Wis
count Elsmere, gave way to firm de-
termination to go In search Of their
companion, But this resolve was nulll-
fled by the refusal Of the guides to 50
a step
mo, senor," said one OF them, 1T
would be dangerous, See therew
Sir Galloplng followed the index
finger of the guide with his glance,
and at once began TO fear, not only for
Lord Chugmough's safety, but for his
own and everybodys.
For the guide was not without rea-
son In refusing to 90 farther into
danger
The sky, which had so far been de-
cent enough, clear now and then, with
intermittent rain clouds, was now
frlghtful to behold.
Great banks of hldeous blackness
were rolling and tumbllng toward
them, and the wind which had sud
denly risen, increased to the force of
tempest.
ITO shelter!" cried one Of the guides,
"Franclsco's house is not far away.
Follow me-"
Forgetting Lord Chugmough and ev-
erything else save their own impend-
Ing danger they mounted their plung-
Ing, snortlng horses and followed their
fleeing guides over the long grass, now
ilattened to the ground by the wind,
to a large two-story structure Of wood
and cement, where Pedro Francisco
had his home.
Pedro, as we know, was away from
home, but his house-servant well
coined the Engllshmen and gave them
shelter, and 1t was not a moment too
soon that they reached the friendly
roof.
The wind increased In fury, the
clouds grew blacker and thicker and
overspread the sky and then there
came a downpour of rain such as
Venezuela had never known before.
The tiny streams in the mountains
swelled to the dimensions of rivers.
The ripping brooks became roaring,
rushing torrents. The streams that
flowed north into the 0rlnoco tumbled
and roared and lashed their banks, and
then rushed over them on the fat
lands. The streams flowing into the
0rinoco from the north copied after
those on the south until the great
river itself was lashed to a fury never
seen on its broad bosom before, and
up, up It's angry waters came until
even the hog-back was covered, the
Turtle was torn from her moorings
and carried out to sea, and the people
of Bolivar were compelled to seek
higher ground to save themselves from
the overwhelming food.
1t was an occasion to wiring the souls
of men, to destroy hope, to plunge hu-
manity into despair.

mough, as he watched the roaring,

cost this republic a quarter Of u

self respect to further the selfish

these two years We have had more

republic had under arms during
the war Of 1912; more m-n than
Scott had when he invaded Mexico:
more men than Shaft.r had when

forces, md more men than Grant
