Small Yards for Poultry.

When it Is not possible to supply
range Of considerable size for the
fowls and they must be practically
kept in yards, an excellent plan is to
divide the yard into two or three Sec
tons, according to its size, and treat
them in the following manner: Plow
or spade each yard, and in one or two,
II divided into three spaces, plant some
early vegetables that will require some
cultivation = radishes, for example.
When the crop is taken out, turn the
fowls into this yard and plant the
others In the same way. When the
yards are divided into three, one of
them may be prepared thoroughly and
grass seeds or oats or millet sown in
1t, with the vegetables in the second
yard. while the fowls occupy the third.
When the grass or small grain gets
two or three inches high, turn the
fowls in this yard and SOW the soil in
the yard they occupied, in like man.
ner. By the time they have cleaned
out the grass lot, the one in which the
vegetables are grown will be ready for
them to scratch over. 1t is surprising
how well the fowls will do under this
plan, even though each yard is very
small.

CHAPTER XVIII.
sankala Listens to the Plotte,

oanKala Listens to the Plotterg.
sankala had hard battle with the
surf but she reached the traps formerly
tended by Dan Lapham before the
storm was at its heighth. Dan, of
course, was not near the place. The
wind was already raging and the white.
caps were multiplying at a rapid rate
and leaping higher and higher.
At her back the sea was boiling like
caldron while to the south it was
not so much disturbed. Her homo lay
across the raging sea while Sand Island
lay to the south. 1t was this great up
heavel of sand and the driftwood upon
its surface that broke the storm to
some extent and yet left q means Of es-
cape for Sankala.
But she would not have returned to
her home at this time had the sea been
as calm rs an inland lake. She had
started out on mission and this would
she complete with a woman's deter
mination. She was looking for Dan
Lapham. Her strong and handsome
young friend had aided her in fishing
the traps when her aged companion
was unable to assist. He had also, on
that very morning, left her money
with which to buy necessary supplies;
he had promised her that Ringwold
should not go to the poor house; and
above all there was an underlined feel
ing in her heart for the young man
which only comes to woman once in
a lifetime.
Sankala did not understand this and
would have blushed had it been ex-
planned. 1t was the same old story
which has caused the joys, sorrows,
disappointments and happiness since
the days of Adam and Eve.
While clinging to the piling which
held the netting of Lapham's fshtrap,
to steady her boat, Sankala could see
that the water was rapidly rising and
that each food dashed higher above the
mark made by the former wave. The
pillows grew darker and more sullen
while the whitecaps looked like great
animals leaping at random in the di-
rection of the bar.
Before it was too late che turned her
boat toward the island, where she
landed without accident. But she was
Just in time, for old Neptune's work
farther out at sea was telling and
great waves from the mighty deep came
rolling over the bay, converting 1t into
a mad, seething thing OF destruction.
The rain began to fall in torrents.
The wind blew with such force as to
send the cold dlops like heavy shots
in a slanting course through the air.
These struck the thinly clad girl with
force that made her SILVER with pain
and cold.
When cast upon her own resources
in time of danger, woman is said to be
superior to man in courage and endur-
ance. Before she resigns herself 10
fate, she employs every means in her
power to thwart its disasters. If she
cannot turn its comse, she goes with
it as companion. Death is thus
made less bitter and an example is
given to the world.
Sankala dragged her boat as fan as
she could and then tied the long line
attached to its prov to limb of q tree
which had been cast far upon the
sands. She began to look about her for
q shelter. She remembered an old
fisherman's camp farther up the is
land, and taking the provisions which
she had prepared for Dan, she made
her way to the shack.

The odoriferous mud In the cutters

ness in town can be ascribed to these
green pools Of typhoid and malarial

in discussing the best method Of abat-
ing the nuisance. The mud and re-
ftse cannot be flushed out with the

In some places 1t isdeemed criminal
for authorities to permit such stencil
to endure. II il is the duty Of the
property owner TO abate the nuisance
Il certainly is the duty Of some OH
cial to compel them TO act. Every
body condemns the condition OF the

make them sanitary would no doubt

THE BODY OF WILLIAM
GRAHAM WAS FOUND
Jos. Bruunell and Neighbor While Duck
Hunting Sunday Discovered the Dead
Body Of the Lansford Man.

The body of VIM. Graham, the
Lansford man, who is supposed
to have murdered his wife six
weeks ago last Friday night, was
found in a slough four miles west
and two miles south OF his farm
Sunday morning by Joseph
Brunnell and a neighbor who
were out hunting ducks. The
body was lying in about a foot
OF water and was badly decOm-
posed. The men LETT the body
lie as they found it, and at once
notified DR.. Crokat, the coroner.
DR.. Crokat deputized a Glenburn
physician. Chas. Graham, the
New York store employe, was
notified and he leftearly Monday
morning for Glenburn to notify
he physician. An inquest was
held that day.
The Independent has believed
right along that the body OF
William Graham would be found
in some slough. There is scarce
ly a question but that he murder
ed his wife in a fit of insanity and
then wandered to the slough and
ended his own life perhaps by
shooting. The water was per-
haps quite little deeper, when
he ended his life, and it may be
that he drowned himself.
STORY OF THE CRIME.
The wife of William Graham
was found dead in an upstairs
room by two Of her children, up
on their return from a dance at
? O'Clock in the morning. A
bullet hole through her head told
OF a terrible foul murder. Her
husband was missing, but as no
horses were gone, it was con-
cluded that he walked away. No
one saw him after he left the
house, and after a few days
search, the neighbors concluded
that the man had either gotten
out Of the country or that some
day his body would be found.
The latter supposition proved to
be true.
VERDICT OF THE JURY.
The inquest was held and the
Jury decided that the man came
to his death, perhaps from gun
shot wound at his own hands
altho the body was SO badly de-
composed that no bullet wound
was apparent. The gun was
found near the body.
