Sir Arthur met his sad fate, and can
study the location of the place.

There was a long pause, during which
the pale face Of the invalid seemed to
grow a shade paler under his eager gaze.
At length the silence was broken by DR..
EIfenstein, who said in a calm, steady
tone;
II will undertake it."
"Thank you," murmured the sick man,
as he reached forth his hand to clasp
that of his visitor. For this your sol

Mrs. Stebbins and Harriet Bevier then
placed their names opposite as witnesses
to the solemn transaction, and again
withdrew, after Mr., Rappelye had de-
sired them to bid the coachman prepare
to carry DR.. Elfenstein back to the depot,

Early Peas

The first crop usually planted in the
farm garden Is one Of the earliest va
rieties Of peas. On account Of tho
hardness Of the plant no amount OF
cold weather will do much injury af-
ter the peas are once up. but when
planted extremely early a part of the
seed will rot in the ground, causing
many gaps in the row. Early in the
season usually there Is little nitrogen
in the soil and the plants grow very
slowly at first. A little nitrate Of soda
applied in the row at the time Of sow.
ing will hurry the growth Of peas.
The market value Of the crop depends
largely upon its earliness. The kinds
which do not require bushing are most
popular for farm use. The late kinds
often do not produce crop until warm
weather comes, and for that reason are
often attacked by blight, which may
be prevented by spraying with bor-
deaux mixture, same as for apple trees.

HUNTING AUTO COURSE.
Virginia Beach Tested Yesterday and
Found Too Soft.

The automobile tests at Virginia Beach
yesterday were not satisfactory owing to
adverse atmospheric conditions, and it
cannot be determined whether or not that
coast will be selected as the place for
holding the races to decide who shall rep
resent this country at, the international
races in Germany. Under the auspices Of
the American Automobile Association the
Virginia Beach Automobile Club, COM
posed of some of the leading autoists Of
the country, made the test.
The winter has been a very severe one at
the beach, and the sand was packed hard
up to few days ago, when rising tenn
perature made the sand soft. and this was
the condition of the beach yesterday.
Whipple's, Fishers. Posts, Haynes and
Laroches celebrated flyers took spins
along the beach before several thousand
people. The star of the afternoon was La
roches motor car, which, with the wind
behind it, made the first mile in fraction
over. a minute. although all power had to
be used since the beach was soft. An
other mile by Laroche was made in LOO.
The other cars averaged mile from three
to seven minutes. 1t was decided to hold
another test in the spring. when the condi-
lions will be more favorable.

that unless the schedule of the New York

I'VE will go after the stronger cities, and
then we will see whether the National

says that his league is ready for war, but

When Mr. Johnson left Washington for
New York last week he said that he would
