were or less neglected at the start and did
not show very much gain in values The better

and occasionally advance of sc. There was
strong competition between packers and shippers
throughout the day for the medium TO heavy

the highest price paid here since the 14th of this

Shippers received some late orders for hsnt

lect Of Comment.


Charlie Younghusband had been
caught in rather a confused account
of his whereabouts the night prevt
GUS. His wife accepted the state
ment without comment, but all the
next day his conscience troubled him.
and in order to square himself he
stopped on his way home and bought
a copy of Crawford's latest book.
After dinner they sat down in the
library and he commenced its perusal
aloud. AS he proceeded he felt him.
self growing more solid. AS last he
encountered this passage:
"If the girl loved her mother. and
she really did, 1t was largely because
her mother was so perfectly truthful.
Cynical people called her perfectly
honest. and said that her veracity
would have amounted to a disease of
the mind IL she had possessed any;
but that since she did not, it was
probably form of degeneration, be-
cause all perfectly healthy human be-
ings lied naturally"
Pardon the interruption, Charlie,
but how thankful you should be that
you have always possessed such mag.
nificent robust health"

"And you were breaking your heart
that Is easy to be seen. He has gone,
but he will come back tonight at
eight o'clock. No matter what hap.
pens, be at the riverside. Do not
fail Dick; he is taking his life in his
hand to see you"
Il thought he had gone-gone, with.
out a word"
Faith you are not complimentary!
I flatter myself that our Dick is a
gentleman. l do, indeed. And, as he
is yet perfectly in his senses, yor
might have trusted him"
When will Richard return?"
Indeed, ! think you will have to
answer for his resolves. But he will
speak for himself; and. in faith. told
him that he had come to point where
l would be no longer responsible foi
his actions. l am thankful to owr
that l have some conscience left"
The ride was not very pleasant
one. Katherine could not help feeling
that Mrs. Gordon was distract and in.
consistent; and, towards its close, she
became very silent. Yet she kissed
her kindly, and drawing her closely
for last word, said, DO not forget to
wear your wadded cloak and hood.
You may have to take the water; for
the councillor Is very suspicious, let
me tell you. Remember what say
the wadded cloak and hood; and good
by, my dear"
Shall l see you soon?"
When we may meet again, do
not pretend to say; till then, am en-.
tirely yours; and so again good-by."
The ride had not occupied an hour;
but, when Katherine got home, Lysbet
was making tea. "A cup will be good
for you, min kind" And she smiled
tenderly in the face that had been so
white in its woeful anguish, but on
which there was now the CLEAN OF
hope. And she perceived that Rather

even OWNED that there might be some

but to trust Katherine for this even.

That night there was a meeting at
the town hall and Joris left the house
soon after his tea.
For an hour or more Katherine sat
in the broad light of the window, fold.
ing and unfolding the pieces of white
linen, sewing q stitch or two here,
and putting on button or tape there.
Madam passed quietly to and fro
about her home duties, sometimes
stopping to say few words to her
daughter. When Lysbet was ready
to do so, she began to lay into the
deep drawers of the presses the table

and carefully examined. Over a pile
of fine damask napkins she stood.

BOTH HOOKED SAME FISH.
And the Incident Caused Bad Feeiin.
Between Anglers.

And the Incident Caused Bad Feeling
Between Anglers.
Funny things happen in bass fish
ing. Toward the close of the season
William Hammeyer of Winneconne
Wis, was fishing from a boat with
his friend, G. B. Hamilton of Peru
Ind. They were on Fox Lake and
fishing was not good, which made
them eager.
Hammeyer got a strike, fastened
his fish and began to reel in strongly
determined to land his catch without
less of time. Hamilton got a strike
and did the same thing. They had
been an hour without a bite and had
no leisure or inclination to watch one
another. The first fish after an
hours casting is apt to get on the
nerves.
When the bass was close to the
boat Hammeyer discovered that he
was bringing in his friends line and
said:
We're tangled! Let out little
line till l get this fish in"
Hamilton discovered the tangle at
the same time and said the same
thing. They glared at each other and
reeled furiously.
With jerk that ought to have loos-
ered all Of its scales pound bass
came out of the water. Hammeyer's
NEEDLESS hook was fastened in one
side of its jaw, Hamilton's was fast
cred in the other. They lifted the
bass in and looked at one another.
They agreed without words to call II
a partnership fish.
Both men had cast at the same in
slant, and their bats had struck the
water close together. Keeling in the
bats had come within a couple Of
inches of each other. The fish either
struck both bats at once or 1t struck
one of them. felt the pain from the
hook, slung its head to one side and
got the other hook.

CHAPTER TX.
Katherlne's Decision.

Joanna's wedding occurred at the
beginning of the winter and the winter
festivities. But amid all the dining
and dancing and skating there was a
political anxiety and excitement that
leavened strongly every social and
domestic event. The first Colonial
Congress had passed the three resolu.
lions which proved to be the key note
of resistance and Of liberty. Joris
had emphatically Endorsed its action.
The odious Stamp Act was to be met
by the refusal of American merchants
either to import English goods, or to
sell them upon commission, until 1t
was repealed. Homespun became
fashionable. The government kept its
hand upon the sword. The people
were divided into two parties, bitterly
antagonistic to each other. The
"Sons of Liberty" were keeping guard
over the pole which symbolized their
determination; The British soldiery
were staggering and boasting and
openly insulting patriots on the
streets, and the New York Gazette"
in flaming articles was stimulating to
the utmost the spirit OF resistance to
tyranny.
Still in spite of this home trouble
and in spite of the national anxiety,
the winter months went with a de-
lightsome peace and regularity in the
Van Heemskirk household. Neil Sem
pie ceased to visit Katherine after Jo-
anna's wedding. There was no
quarrel and no interruption to the
kindness that had so long existed be
tween the families, but Neil never
again offered her his hand; and such
conversation as they had was con-
strained, and of the most conventional
character.
AS Hyde grew stronger he spent his
hours in writing long letters to his
wife. He told her every trivial event
he commented on all she told him.
and her letters revealed to him a soul
so pure. so true, so loving, that he
vowed "he fell in love with her afresh
every day of his life"
One exquisite morning in May Kath'
crime stood at an open window look
ing over the garden and the river, and
the green hills and meadows across
the stream. Her heart was full OF
hope. Richards recovery was so far
advanced that he had taken several
rides in the middle of the day. AL
ways he had passed the Van deems'
kinks house and always Katherine
had been waiting to rain down upon
his uplifted face the influence Of her
most bewitching beauty and her ten
lderest smiles.
AS she happily unused, some one
lcalled her mother from the front hall.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Bacteria.

Attention was called In my last re-
port to the importance Of nitrogen
In the nutrition Of plants, and the
discovery Of new method of cult.
waiting the bacteria which gather nitro
gen in connection with leguminous
crops was announced. This method
has been perfected during the past
year. The reason for the failure Of
former work In this line, both in this
country and Europe, has been deter
mined. and new, simple, cheap, and
thoroughly satisfactory method of
growing and distributing the tubercle
bacteria for all the important legu-
minous crops has been perfected. The
nitrogen-gathering power Of the bac-
terra grown by our new method is at
least five times as great as the nitro
gen-gathering power of the ordinary
forms found In nature, and the new
forms, instead Of being restricted to
certain legumes. have a much wider
range of activity. Field tests on a
large scale were stated during the
year, and advance reports from the
cooperating farmers show extremely
favorable returns from the use of
these organisms.-Secretary Of Agri-
culture Wilson.

Soil Humus.

Soil Humus.
F. M. Lewis: The most important
question the farmer has to deal with
to-day regarding the maintenance or
restoring fertility of the soil is Soil
Humus." At the annual meeting OF
the Experimental Union in 1900,
Prof. l. P. Roberts. of Cornell Uni
versity, stated that the soils of our
continent contained sufficient plant
food for the production of from 300
to 500 crops, yet to-day we find our
farms already becoming less produc.
tive simply because this fertility Is an
unavailable or locked-up condition, and
the successful farmer is the one that
is finding the key for working the
best combination. The time has been
when most every farmer who prided
himself on doing proper work piled
his manure in the yard at least once,
and often more. The more 1t heated
the better work he thought he was
doing, when in reality all the good he
did was to kill the weed seeds, and
it was a wonderfully expensive meth
cd. Every day that his manure heap
steamed he was losing the very best
fertility 1t contained, and that was
only part Of the loss, for it has been
ascertained that the rotting Of the
vegetable matter in the soil is the
great secret of unlocking the plant
food, and especially that which is the
most difficult to unlock, 'the mineral
plant food" so he not only lost fer
tility by fermenting in the heap, but
also lost the power to unlock what
is in the soil.
Increases Moisture. This is not the
only advantage of putting plenty OF
vegetable matter In our soils, as 1t
has wonderful effect upon the water
holding capacity Of our soils. A piece
Of land, part of which had been
cropped for years, until 1t was about
exhausted Of its humus content, was
tested for moisture. Another part of
the same soil which had only two
crops taken from 1t was sampled for
moisture. The atmospheric condi-
tions of each was the same, yet that
which was rich in humus contained
Ia quarts Of water per cubic foot
more than the other. These same
soils. when wet to the same extent
and exposed to the sun for ten hours,
the one rich in humus contained a
quart more moisture per cubic foot
We see by this that the amount OF
humus in our soils plays very i'm
portant part as to its water-holding
capacity. When we remember that
all plant food in the soil must become
soluble in water. and that such food
is taken into the plant only through
the moisture that Is in the soil, we
realize the Importance Of anything in
our soils that will increase its water.
