"Hoe0s this. 9n cried Dyer sharply
cy. Without another word he pushed
back his coffee cup and crossed the
narrow. open passage to the mems
camp.
When he opened the door a silence
fell. He could see dimly that the room
was full of lounging and smoking lum-
bermen. As matter of fact, not a
man had stirred out that morning.
"How's this. menY' cried Dyer sharp
~. tWhy aren't you out on the
marsh %
No one answered for moment. Then
Baptiste:
''He max too tam cole for de marsh
Meester Railway he spik dat we kip of

Dyer knew that the precedent was in
disputable.
why didn't you cut on eight then?"
he asked still in peremptory tones.
Didn't have no one to show US
where to begin" druwled voice in the
corner
Dyer turned on his heel and went
out.
The crew worked on the marsh that
afternoon and the subsequent days OF
the week. They labored conscientious.
~. but not zealously The work moved
slowly. At Christmas number of the
men went out" Most of them were
back again after four or five days. for
while men were not plenty neither was
work. The equilibrium was nearly ex-
act.
But the convivials had lost to Dyer
the days of their debauch Instead of
keeping up to $4,000 day. as Railway
had figured was necessary, the scale
would not have exceeded 10000.

One morning he slept until nearly 10
o'clock. 1t was inexplicable! He hur-
ried from his bunk, made hasty toilet
and started for the dining room to get
some sort of lunch to do him until
dinner time. AS he stepped from the
door of the Office he caught sight of
two men hurrying from the cook camp

coffee before him. For the rest he

Dyer sat down, feeling for the first
time a little guilty. This was not be-
cause of a sense of dereliction in du-
ty. but because he feared the strong
mans contempt for inefficiency.

long this morning" he remarked. with
an unwonted air of bonhomie.
The cook creased his paper with one
hand and went on reading.

easily.
The cook laid aside his paper and
looked the scaler in the eye.

PIowino hx Dynamite.

At Pendleton, Ore, and on several
farms in the eastern part of the state
of Washington, dynamite is used to
break up the hard pan" stratum just
underneath the surface. Good soil
and moisture are under the hard
pam"
In the sagebrush and alkai regions
this stratum of "hardpan' will not
let the moisture come to the surface,
nor can tree roots and alfalfa roots
reach the moisture. So the surface is
dry alkali, the mother of sagebrush
and nothing else
The dynamiters believe that by
smashing this barren and rebe1lious
stratum they can make the moisture
come up and the roots go down.
Crops have been planted over con-
siderable tract of dynamited ground.
In the fall we shall know how good a
farmer dynamite is--Everybody's.

Cuniberti's ideal battleship, which was
described in last years "AIl the

ton of Italy's distinguished naval
architect was at first a good deal
laughed at, but it probably had a good
deal to do with our Lord Nelson class
armament, and after the Lord Nelsr..

manuscripts India's traditions take
the rose to the times of the gods on
earth Egypt had roses, wild and
tame, before the Roman occupation

there is no reference to the flower in

So he made his way to Margaret
Radford who bided near the church,
and finding the announcement that
apartments were to let engaged bed
room, and there was no grumbling
about her terms, for the Australian
had generosity all over him.
Then Herbert Seaton made his way
up the steep path he had been told
led to the "schulehouse."
In his day he remembered the local
cobbler kept school and turned out
perhaps poor scholars, but good fisher
men, and he emphasized his remarks
with a strap. Seaton felt it now. Be
tween hedges twenty feet high, up the
steep red path he made his way, and
at the end stood the schoolhouse, fac
ing the sea. He stood outside for
some minutes, brushing perspiration
from his forehead.
Then he peered between the serried
ranks of fuchsia and myrtle that stool
on the broad window sill, and he saw
a beautiful woman, of nearly his own
age, who had blue, gentle eyes, and
gentle face, and an aureole of fair
hair, that in beams of sunlight looked
to him like a halo.
Small man and woman kind were
around her knees, from tiny tots to
girls of IS, and she was talking and
teaching as only an angel upon earth
or a good woman, which is the
same thing-can talk and teach from
the Book of Books that lay upon her
lap.
