Ike the tones OF fiuto
"Fatlerl Father!"
The vulture whiFred down In front
OF them with it's fierce cry. Then
suddenly up from the depths, yet not
far from them, hoated a faint call,
half moan, half answer They listened
as though In doubt, afraid TO believe
lest they be mistaken. But again the
faint voice sounded not far distant,
but weak. Green stretched himself
fiat on the ground. and leaned far
over the perilous edge.
About twenty feet below a sharp
ledge projected, forming a nat shelf;
this was covered with a tangle OF
shrubs and bushes. The mist hung
about IL like a phantom shroud, and
even to Green's clear eye It was but
family discernible. Whether or not
Johnson was there. he could not tell.
He called cheerily, and again the
weak voice replied; the bushes below
were stirred slightly, and a feeble
hand appeared for an instant.
Green arose swiftly to his feet; he
uncoiled the rope with swift sweeps
of his muscular young arms, and fast

cured the other end to a sturdy sap

design without words, and Obeyed his
orders promptly

source Of Nervous Impulse.

The theory OF Loeb and Matthews
that the nervous impulse. although it
brings in electricity, is far from re-
garding the transmission of that inn
pulse as identical with simple cleo
trlcal current. In a medical journal,
Dr. O'Brien advocates the old theory
that nervous current and electrical
current are identical, because, first.
electricity is always present when
nerves act; second. electricity is the
form OF lorce which would do the
work required; third, because the ter.
minal and central mechanisms con
nected with the nerves correspond TO

young Green was about to do, she
came forward, a world of wonder and
horror and pleading in her eyes that
were larger and darker than usual as
they met the steady blue ones above
her.
DO not CO." she said, slowly, as
though the words would not come.
Let me go; it is my duty; but you
you must not risk your life for
him."
He replied hurriedly. There was a
swift flashing smile in his eyes as
they met hers. It was pleasant to him
that she cared for his safety. and he
answered her with a swift. brave
smile. He spoke to the men cheerily,
but clearly and cOncisely; he told
them to hold hard and mind their
work. They were ready, and obeyed
him at once. and without words.
AS he turned to let himself down
over the edge he looked toward Do
lores. She was standing apart from
them white and silent, her slender,
graceful figure in its homely print
gown sharply defined against the
dropping pine boughs that swung low
down; her brown eyes were on him
with a great wonder in their depths
ct the time he did not understand.
but he smiled at her, and the smile
was so grave and tender and steady
that It seemed 10 her afterward when
she thought OF it that he had spoken.
She neither moved nor spoke; he
believed that she did not see him
though her eyes were on him TIL lie

making dull whir through the grass

WINTER WHEAT PROMISING.
Little Seeding OF Spring wheat Early
Planted Corn Hurt by Frost.

Washington. ID. C.--The weekly crop
bulletin issued by the Weather Burea :.
gives the following general summary
OF conditions:
The early planted corn was cxtcn.
slvely killed by the frosts during the
latter part Of the week I'm Missouri.
Kansas. Oklahoma and Texas, and the
crop hns suffered from cold weather
throughout the Southern States. Prep.
arations for planting have progressed
favorably In the Ohio Valley and Mid
die Atlantic States. but little progress
has been made In the States OF the up
per Missouri Valley and Lake regions.
The present season up 10 this time has
been very unfavorable for corn, plant.

capped material injury during the re-

the winter wheat belt. and the general
outlook for this crop continues very

that no serious damage has been done

FERTILITY FOR PLANTS.

Remember that plants cannot make
use of fertility in the soil, that is, plant
food. until the fertility can be dissolved
in water. There may be phosphate in
the rock. but the plant cannot feed
upon il until the rock has been dis
solved by sulphuric acid, and this work
the fertilizer companies do for us.
Barnyard manure cannot be taken up
as plant food by trees, plants and vines
until il has decayed. If we apply the
dressing of fresh stable manure to n
field this spring, which we plant to
corn or potatoes. that manure will not
be in condition TO benefit the crop
until it rots, which will not occur
until midsummer, and some Of it will
not be acceptable TO the plants during
the entire season, portion remaining
for the succeeding crop another year.
The humus added TO the soil by the
decaying manure may remain in the
soil for several years. Most soils. par
ticularly clayey land. contains an
abundance of fertility to produce the
heaviest crop, but the plant food in the
soil is not often in a soluble condition,
and therefore cannot he taken up by
the plants as food. The winter frosts
liberate much of the fertility Of such
soils. rs also does frequent cultivation,
and the action of rain, sun and air.
