SAVED A cHILD,s LIFE.
George Harnuns, of Burlington, Res

SpeCIdT
Burlington. Jan. 10.-After three at
tempts George Hornung saved a small
child from a burning house. Mrs.
Larson discovered the flames in her
house and leaving her 3 months old
child in the room went to the cistern
for water. On returning she was
driven back by the flames. Hornung
then darted into the blazing room, but
was driven out by the heat and smoke.
After vainly cropping for the child,
once again he made an attempt to res
cue, but failed. The third attempt
was successful, he finding the child
behind a door unconscious. Intense
excitement reigned during the time,
and when the frantic mother received
her child practically unhurt there was
q general shout of approval.

enclosing a small cultivated patch and a
neat farm house beyond. Here he paused,
and, covering behind the fence. with ex-
traordinary facial contortions, produced q
cry not unlike the scream of a blue Jay.
Repeating 1t at intervals, he was presently
relieved by observing the approach Of q

face. more than usually plump on one
side and a neck enormously wrapped in q

"No-say!' said Nicely, eagerly.
At which Johnny, clutching at the top of
the fence, with hurried breath, told his
story. But not all. with the instinct OF
a true artist, he withheld the manner in
which the opening Of the cave was revealed,
said nothing about the tree, and. l grieye

And with an assuring nod he released
the fence and trotted on. He returned
cautiously in the direction Of the cave; he
was by no means sure that the robbers
might not return that day. and his mys-
FERROUS rendezvous with Nicely yelled a
certain prudence. And II was we'll. For
as he stealthily crept around the face of
the outerop, hidden in the ferns, he saw
from the altered angle OF the tree that the
cavern was opened. He remained motion
less, with bated breath. Then he heard
the sound OF subdued voices from the cav

ing. Johnny grasped the ferns rigldly 10

at its sight. For that figure was his own
brother!
There was no mistaking that weak,
wicked face, even then flushed with liquor.
Johnny had seen 1t too often thus. But
never before as a thiefs face. He gave a
little gasp and fell back upon that strange
reserve Of apathy and reticenee, in which
children are apt to hide their emotions
from US at such a moment. He watched
impassiyely the two other men who fol

wooded terrace with a blank wall of "out-
crop" on one side nearly as high as the
pines which pressed close against 1t. He
had never seen 1t before; It was two or
three miles from the high road and seemed
to be a virgin wilderness. But on close
examination he could see, with the eye OF
q boy bred in a mining district, that the
wall OF outcrop had not escaped the atten-
ton OF the mining prospector. There were
marks of his pick In some attractive quartz
seams of the wall, and further on a more
ambitious attempt, evidently by a party
Of miners, to begin a tunnel, show in an
abandoned excavation and the heap of debris
before It. II had evidently been abandoned
for some time. as ferns already forced their
green fronds through the stones and gravel
and the yerba buena vine was beginning to
mat the surface of the heap. But the boys
fancy was quickly taken by the traces OF
a singular accident and one which had per-
haps arrested the progress OF the excava-
tors. The roots Of a large pine tree grow
ing close to the wall had been evidently
loosened by the excavators and the tree
had fallen, with one Of its largest roots
still in the opening the miners had made,
and apparently blocking the entrance. The
large tree lay. as It fell-midway across
another but much smaller outorop Of rock
which stood sharply about fifteen feet above
the level Of the terrace-with its gaunt dead
limbs in the air at a low angle. To Johnny's
boyish fancy It seemed so easily balances
on the rock that but for its imprisoned root
II would have made a capital seesaw. This
he felt must be looked to hereafter. But
here his attention was arrested by some
thing more alarming. His quick ear, at
tuned like al animal to all woodland
sounds. detected the cracking OF under
wood In the distance. His equally sharI
eyes saw the figures OF two men approach

one Of them he drew back with a beating
heart. a hushed breath and hurTiedly hit
himself in the shadow. For he had seer

class OF men to be more than ordinarily
successful, while on the other hand. the
most highly successful farmers ! have

Rapid Increase In values.
l am continually receiving reports from
all parts OF the country indicating rapid
Increase in the value OF land and great
prosperity among the agricultural classes.
One man writes; Farm lands are now
on the verge Of the greatest boom in the
history Of the state OF Missouri. Crops are
magnificent all through the state and the
farmers have been making money"
Another man writes: Farm lands in
Minnesota and Dakota have increased very
largely in value recently. The land is ex-
ceptionally fine In this locality and the
crops rave never been better than they
are Just at present"
These are only samples Of scores Of
similar letters.
Farm lands will steadily increase in
value for three reasons:
F~irst-Becauee Of the greater increase In
population than in the development Of new
land.
second-Because OF the increasing desire
Of people to locate in states which are
.Sready settled rather than go into a new
territory.
Third-Because Of the tendency OF the
aiddle and wealthior class of today to buy
country homes Of large acreage for them
selves.
Tendency to Hold onto Land.
This latter fact is in itself bound to in
crease the value Of land from year to year,
although, perhaps, but slowly. The tend
ency today to hold onto land is very strong
because Of the absolute independence OF
the man who owns a few acres. Labor
conditions do not seriously affect him and
he is less concerned with the questions OF
protection and free trade than any other
class Of our people. II necessary he can
live absolutely independent Of any other
class Of people.
Land value in all parts Of the country
is affected to a great extent by local eondi-
tions which are continually changing and
the man who is going to invest in land
should watch these conditions very care
fully before plunging too deeply.
Generally speaking, however, l believe
that under the present prosperous condi-
lions Of orr country, a judlcious invest
ment in farm land Is one Of the safest and
most profitable investments that can pos
sibly be made. w. M. osTRANDER.

any boy Of the locality who had heard the
common gossip Of his elders. but to Johnny's
fancy an idea vas kindled peculiarly his
own. Here was a cavern like that OF the
Forty Thieves in the story books, and
he was the Ali Bahia who knew its secret!
He was not obliged to say open, sesame"
but he could say IL IL he liked. u he was
showing it on to anybody.
Yet alasl he also knew II was a secret
he must keep to himself. He had nobody
to trust Il to. HE father was a charcoal
burner OF small means: a widower with
two children, Johnny and his elder brother
Sam. The latter, a fragrant lncorrigible OF
%, with a tendency to dissipation and low
company, had lately abandoned his fathers
roof. only TO reappear at intervals OF
hilarious or maudlin intoxication. He had
always been held up to Johnny as a warn
ing. or with the gloomy prognosis that he,
Johnny. was already following in his tor
tuous footsteps. Even II he were here he
was not TO be thought OF as a conhdant.
Still less could he trust his father, who
would be sure to bungle the secret with
sheriffs and constables, and end by bring
ing down the vengeance Of the gang upon
the family. AS for himself, he could not
dispose of the gold IL he were to take II.
The exhibition Of a single fake of II TO
the adult public would arouse suspicion,
and as it was Johnny's hard fste TO be al
ways doubted. he might be connected with
the gang. As a truant he knew he had no
moral standing, but he also had the super
stition-quite characteristic Of CHILDHOOD
that being IN possession Of a secret he
was a participant in it's criminality-and
bound, as II were, by terrible oathsl And
then a new idea seized him. He carefully
put back everything as he had found II,
extinguished the candle. left the cave,
remounted the tree and closed the open
ing again, as he had seen the others do It,
with the addition Of murmuring shut,
sesame" TO himself, and then ran way as
fast as his short legs could carry him.
Well clear of the dangerous vicinity, he
proceeded more leisurely for about a mile,
