can tell you one thing, Martha, a
thinking soul is always sorrowful
enough, but when it is a great soul
like divers, and it is wretched for
any cause, then every thought draws
blood"
Cromwell had hoped that his great
Affections would bring his friends
back to his side; but envy, hatred and
greedy ambition are not to be concili-
ated. Even at this time Ludlow, Lam
bert, Vane. Harrison, Marten-all the
men whom he had trusted, and who
had trusted him, stood aloof from his
sorrow; and their sullen Indifference
wounded him to the quick. His un-
finished work drove at him like a
taskmaster. He must make great
haste, for he knew that the night was
coming.
Il am glad he is back in Whitehall"
said Martha to her husband, when she
heard of the change. Il remember
something that Jane said about that
old. gloomy Court; he will get better
in London.

married to the daughter of Fairfax,
and the naughty Lord General went
to see Cromwell about the matter. He
met him in the gallery at Whitehall
and asked that the order for Bucking
hams arrest should be retraced. And
Cromwell told him that if the offense
were only against his WI life, the
Duke could go free that hour, but that
he could not pardon plotters against
the Commonwealth. 1t grieved him tt
the heart to say these words, anc

Fairfax saw how i'll and how troubled
he looked. But he had not one word
Of courtesy; he turned abruptly and
cooked his hat, and threw his cloak
under his arm in that insolent way
he was ever used to when in his tenn
pers. And Oliver looked at me like
a man that has been struck in the face
by a friend. Then he went to his
desk and worked faithfully, inexor-
ably, all day; but-but-"
But what, Israeli"
ct is near-the end"
Indeed, this interview with Fairfax
seemed to be the last HEAVYWEIGHT he
could carry.
The next day he went to his desk
and began to write, but speedily and
urgently called for Israel Swaffham.
When he answered the call, Oliver
was in great physical agony, but he
took some papers from a drawer and
said, When | am no longer here,
Israel, give these to my wife. Thur
loe has the key to all State ques-
tions; he knows my intents and my
judgments on them. And there is
one more charge for you: when all is
over, speak to the army for me. Tell
the men to remember me while they
live. Truly, l think they will. Now
let me lean on you, Israel. am go
ing to my last hard fight"
When he reached his room, he
stood a moment and looked wistfully
round it. It was but a narrow cham
Der, but large enough for the awfully
close, near conflict that he had to
fight in it. For ten terrible days and
nights the anguish of the struggle
went on increasingly, sometimes the
great Combatant being "all here" and
full of faith and courage, sometimes
far down the shoal of life and reason,
and wandering ~uneasily through by
gone days Of battle and distress and
darkness.
He had turned to face his last en-
envy on the oath of August, and on
the 30th there was such a tempest as
had never before been seen in Eng
land. Whole forests were laid on
the ground, traffic was swept from
the roads and the streets. and the
ships from the stormy seas. The
chambers Of Whitehall were filed
with the roar OF the great winds. Tho
| guards leaned on their arms, praying
or talking solemnly together on the
prodigy OF the storm.

among them to look after the children

She shook her head slightly, but
looked pleased and important. The
wife and mother was now completely
satisfied.

Coach Leavenworth of Alabama had a brilliant record as a Yale half back and Is said to be an earnest worker and a thorough master of the game. Alabama's greatest as- set, however, is in Burks, the young halfback that was one of last years sensations.

Sowing Burr Clover.

A correspondent in the Tennessee Val ley makes certain inquiries about burr clover. which are answered below, and also by letter.
 Your letter of September 18th is at hand. August or September Is the only suitable time for sowing burr clover. I think there is a chance for it to suc- ceed sown as late as the twenty fifth of September. but l fear that in youI part of the state this will be rather late sowing, and will result in a poor CT stand than if sowing could have been made about the first of Septem- Der. With burr clover 1t is exceeding ly important to have the land some the roller after sowing Is advisable in order to pack the earth into close contact with the chaffy burrs. Of course if would be well If practicable row. or brush to prevent the too rapid drying or even the packing of the rolled surface. If you buy southern grown burr clover. the seed of which latlon will be necessary. sufficient dust adhering to the seed. If you buy the thrashed California seed, the plant of which is somewhat inferior to the more prompt germination but will need to inoculate the soil from an old burr clover or alfalfa field.
 It Is uncertain whether in your To- grown, inoculation of red clover will usually be beneficial. On some fields where clover Is not recently grown and remote from other fields. I am confi- dent that inoculatlon would be bene~ feel. For that purpose. I recommend the soil from other healthy red clover field as more certain than the artifi- cial cultures.
