Improvement OF Corn.

Uncle Henry" WaiIace,is devoting a
good deal of space in his paper, Wal
laces' Former to the Improvement OF
Iowa Corn. lie calls attention to the
fact that while the Iowa Farmer has
been improving his live stock for TWEEN.
" years and more he has given very
little attention to the great Iowa crop
corn. Among the many articles which
have appeared in Wallace's Farmer on
this subject has been series by Prof
Shamel, of Illinois, the corn expert,
and these are illustrated by number
OF photographs showing different va
rieties of corn, perfect and imperfect
ears, the most profitable to raise. etc.
The average Iowa farmer thinks he
knows as much about corn as anybody
does but we miss our guess if he can
not learn q lot from these articles in
Walaces' Farmer.
In this connection we wish to say
that Wai!aces' Farmer is one of the
best agricultural papers that comes to
this office. 1t is handsomely printed on
paper of ine quality, filed with at
lrdcliFe Illustrations, and IN addition

but Varnek, who received the order
for the execution?"
SIS also my friend. 1t was rare
chance, for have not many. He will
report to Kilziar that you were killed
while attempting to escape"
They We're hurrying along dark
street, at the end of which Darrell
could make out dimly in the light of
the rising moon an open space, with
the city wall beyond. They crossed
the field and came to the very spot
where Darrell had been stationed dur
ing the siege of the city.
A sentry challenged them, and Korna
advanced to meet him, giving the
countersign and adding:
"These are men with q message to
deliver. They must leave the city in
secret"
Then in whisper to Darrell:
IF you are grateful. have Motman
Khan transfer me to his staff. If l
remain with Kilziar, he will kill me
and dishonor my name. I am taking
desperate risks"
81 will not forget" said Darrell,
clasping his hand.
"rhere are pickets beyond the city,"
said Korna, but in such broken
country you cannot fail to pass them.
Farewell. This is n strange thing /
am doing, but 1t is my only chance"
Darrell and Kevski were lowered
over the wall, and when they touched
the ground the Russian said in trem-
bling whisper:
Now am alive. For long time l
have seemed to be dead"
"My FRIEND" said Darrell, you had
reason"
They passed the picket line without
trouble-indeed without having any evil
dence that such q thing existed. About
midnight they halted In the midst of q

ward the road, while Kilziar, with sew
eral officers around him, sat down upon
stool and lighted cigar.
AT that moment Darrell was lying
upon the floor of the attic, almost d.
rectly above Kilziar's head. He had
good view of the prince through n
chink, and he could hear as well US
the men in the room below.
This seems to be the best place to
halt them" Kilziar continued. 81 will
teach these shrewd fellows not to
dodge their toll"
The game was obvious to Darrell.
The prince had got wind Of some rich
caravan that would ordinarily have
passed through Gredskov, but, hearing
that the town was held, had circled 1t,
well knowing what tribute would be
eNacted by the revolutionists.
1t was not long before babble of
voices came from the direction Of the
road, and then there appeared five
Turkish merchants under guard of
soldiers.
The scene that ensued began by be-
Ing grimly amusing and ended in pitt
full tragedy. For as much us he could
understand of the bargaining it SEEM
ed to Darrell that the merchants were
being royalty bled but. apparently the
prince understood them better than
the American did. Having received
certain SUMS in gold that was careful
ly stored away in bags, Kilziar dis
missed four of the merchants and de-
tanned the fifth, who was the youngest
of them. Il sharp looking fellow, tall,
| smooth shaven and rather handsome.
By Kilziar's orders he was left alone
with this man, and Immediately an ac-
rimonious discussion ensued, the prince
asserting that he had been cheated re-
garding the value Of the caravan and
that many rich jewels were among its
merchandise. The tall fellow denied it
boldly, and Kilzlar's temper rose. Sud-
denly, to Darrell's unspeakable horror,
the prince whipped out his sword and
struck the offending merchant dead ut
a blow. 1t was murder of the coars-
est brutality, and If there had been n
seconds time for interference Darrell
would have been unable to witness
such crime without an effort to pre-
vent 1t, but the deed was done in a
flash.

Darrell halted instantly, facing this
little force, his hands flung up. His
first glance centered upon their officer.
rotund fellow, Enthusiastically Ger
man. Darrell was naturally unac-
quainted with the uniforms of the Cir
cassian revolutionary army. but this
plump little mercenary looked as il lie
might have the rank of captain. There
was n red band around his cap, and
1t seemed pale in contrast with his
face.
The smallest part of q second suf

"Friends!" yelled Darrell in German.
Prisoners who have escaped the mas
sacrer'
The sound of his native language
surprised the captain so much that he
screamed command In the same
tongue, his voice high pitched from ex-
element and overeXertion. The SOL
diers understood his meaning, IL not
the words, and they advanced without
firing. Darrell and Nevski were sur
rounded by nalf savage crew, drunk
with the fumes Of blood, but the fat
little German was a soldier through
and through, and he had his men well
In hand.

Darrell to Kevski, and then, address
Ing the captain, in German:
II was a prisoner here and was saved
by this man, who is friend of Mot

don Russian uniform"
The captain hesitatcd for the space
OF about two seconds-longer than any
minutes that Darrell ever remembered
to have passed.
Spare them!" said the captain, and
then to Darrell: Point out this prison.
Lead me there
Darrell waved his hand in the direc-
ton of the building, and the party ad-
vanced.

person" Darrell asked as he ran on by
the officers side.
The audacity of the question gained
an answer for it.
HE has gone on to Vladikaukas,"
said the officer. prince Kilziar COM
mands."
II am known to him." said Darrell
II aided n friend of his in Paris. He
will reward you for sparing me-"
"You shall be brought before him
when this business is over" painted the
weary German.
Another party of soldiers had by this
time invaded the prison, and the struc-
ture resounded with yells of rage as
the evidences of the massacre were dis
covered. Kevski shook with terror be-
lieying that the slaughter of the pris-
oners meant death to every one wear
ing the uniform of Russia In that city.
Nevertheless throughout the wild scene
that followed the officer to whom they
had surrendered succeeded in protect
Ing them, and eventually they were
lodged under guard In n room of the
military barracks where We're gathered
about fifty other prisoners who by va
rious kinds of good fortune had es-
capped the sword.
AT 8 O'Clock that evening Darrell and
Kevski were summoned before Prince
Kilxiar, who had established headquar-
ters In the house that had been occu-
pied by the Russian military command

on bench under the stone portico.
