Poor "star Brand" Cotton Seed Meal.

Since July 2S thirteen samples of
Star Brand Cotton seed meal put out
by Sledge and Wells, Memphis, Tenn,
have been sent to the Station for analy-
sis. Eleven of these samples were sent
by the importers and were taken from
as many cars. Because of the poor
appearance of the goods samples were
sent to the station and the company has
refused to handle the meal. The other
two samples were from the same locality.
None of these goods had the appearance
of prime cotton seed meal. Most of
them were of poor color and full OF
hulls. Two of the samples carried
good deal of cotton and appeared
"wooly". Two of the samples carried
45 per cent protein, one carried 43 and
the others carried from 35 to 40 per
cent protein. None of them had the
sweet nutty flavor characteristic of
good cotton seed meal; some of the
samples were tasteless, others had a
bad taste, in two cases being bitter as If
burned. While all or nearly all of these
goods have been or will be shipped out
of the state, and no low grade goods Of
other brands have been reported, users
of cotton seed meal should be on the
lookout for poor meal and in case Of any
doubt as to quality samples should be
sent to the Experiment Station at
OrOno, where prompt analysis will be
made, free of charge 80

"Tll give II to you in a minute re-

"None of that" interposed the con-
ductor. you'll have to get off,"
wait a minute, conductor, and see II
he isn't telling the truth" said pros
porous looking man.
Meantime the boy, his face redder
still, united his bundle and proceeded
to rummage through the pockets OF his
old uniform. At last he dshed odt a
nickel.
"You are an honest boy" said the
prosperous looking man. Heres dol

The messenger boy looked ut the dol,
lar and then ut the man.
"Not II l know II, mister" he ex-
claimed loud enough for everybody on
the car to hear II don't want no pay
for bein' honest. Besides, you're too

Even as the words left his mouth ]
heard a distant sound as Of several
voices shouting. No doubt they had dis
covered our escape from our prison.
The girl had heard it too. She stood
with her head thrown back, listening.
"Qut.k, lassie, quick" Menzies ex.
claimed. "We maun get ava frae
here" She turned suddenly and look
ed at US, and 1t seemed to me that even
in that dim light I could see the wild
light in her eyes.
"Go away homer she exclaimed.
"Go at once or the bad man will catch

and ran lightly up the pier into the
darkness. Menzies cast off the rope
and pushed the boat clear, saying as he
did so, with groan: "Puir lassie!
She's clean daft. and nae wonder"
He took the oars, and we stole out
into the dark lagoon with long. silent
sweeps Of the oars. My eyes were fixed
on the dark shadow Of the schooner
that loomed up In the darkness, but
nothing moved as We crept past and
headed for the entrance. There was
no longer a doubt that the alarm had
been given, for shouts, some muftied
and others clear, reached us from the
shore. Once In the passage Menzies
stopped rowing and stepped the mast
and loosened the sail to breeze that
was favorable. In a minute or two
more the dark mass Of the great fort-
fication was shut Off by the land. The
breeze drew outward through the pas
sage, and In five minutes more the dark
expanse of the ocean opened before US.
"The Lord be thankit. Well dae

behind him. But, losh me. what's
yon? It's yon bit daft lassie, wudna

A bright crimson glare spread up
ward through the violet sky above the
island we had left, and the next min
ute there was roar like that OF
dozen parks Of artillery at once. and
then the glare died away, and the sky
grew dark again.
"Puir lassiew Menzies said slowly
after a pause. Am no sayin' but
maybe It was best"
Two days later we were picked up
