tall, and his figure was thin and loose
jointed, but stringy and hard=bltten.
One eye was entirely covered by its lid,
which lay fiat over an empty socket, but
the other danced and sparkled with
most roguish light, darting here and
there with a twinkle of humor and critl-
cism and intelligence, the whole fire of his
soul bursting through that one narrow
Granny.
His dress was as noteworthy as his
person. A rich purple doublet and cloak
was marked on the lapels with strange
scarlet device shaped like a wedge.
Costly lace hung round his shoulders, and
amid its soft folds there smoldered the
dull red of a heavy golden chaias. A
knights belt at his waist and a knights
golden spurs twinkling from his doeskin
riding-boots proclaimed his rank, and
on the wrist of his left gauntlet there
sat a demure little hooded falcon of
breed which in itself was mark of the
dignity of the owner. OF weapons he
had none, but mandolin was slung by
a black silken band over his back, and the
high brown end projected above his
shoulder. Such was the man, quaint,
critical, masterful, with a touch of what
is formidable behind it, who now SUR
veyed the opposing groups of armed
men and angry monks with an eye
which commanded their attention.

from one who permits no delay
The Abbot, and possibly the sacrist
also, had begun to realize that events
had gone q great deal farther than they
had intended, and that without an
extreme sandal it was no easy matter
for them to save their dignity and the
good name of Waverley. Therefore in
spite of the debonair, not to say dis
respectful, bearing of the newcomer,
they rejoiced at his appearance and
intervention.

at these frank words. " 1t would become

of which you say that you are the bearer.

day of Hastings. The soft accent of the
churchman was gone and it was the hard
voice of soldier which said:
"One minute / give you, and no more:
Then when l cry 'Loose!' drive me an
arrow through his body"
/. The shaft was fitted, the bow was bent,
and the stern eyes of the woodnan were
fixed on his mark. Slowly the minute
passed, while Nigel breathed prayer
to his three soldier saints, not that they
should save his body in this life, but that
they should have a kindly care for his
soul in the next. Some thought of
fierce wildcat sally crossed his mind, but
once out of his corner he was lost indeed.
Yet at the last he would have rushed
amongst his enemies, and his body was
bent for the spring, when with deep
sonorous hum, like a breaking harp
string, the cord of the bow was cloven in
twain, and the arrow tinkled upon the
tiled floor. At the same moment a
Young curly-headed- bowman, whose
broad shoulders and deep chest told of
immense strength, as clearly as his frank,
laughing face and honest hazel eyes did
ward sword in hand and took his place
by Nigels side.
Nay, comrades!" said he. "Samkin
Awkward cannot stand by and see a
gallant man shot down like a bull at the
end of a batting. Five against one is
long odds; but two against four is better,
and by my finger-bones! Squire Nigel
and | leave this room together, be it on
our feet or no."
The formidable appearance of this ally
and his high reputation among his fell
lows gave a further chill to the luke
warm ardor of the attack. Aylward's
left arm was passed through his strung
bow, and he was known from Woolmer
Forest to the Weald as the quickest,
srrest archer that ever dropped running
deer at ten-score PAGES.
Nay. Baddlesmere, hold your fingers
from your string-case, or l may chance
to give your drawing hand a two months
rest" said Aylward. Swords, if you
will, comrades, but no man strings his
bow till / have 1oosed mine"
Yet the angry hearts of both Abbot
and sacrist rose higher with a fresh
obstacle.
This is an i'll day for your father,
Franklin Ay1ward, who holds the tenancy
of Crooksbury," said the sacrist. He
will rue it that ever he begot son who
will lose him his acres and his stead

My father is bold yeoman, and
would rue it evermore that ever his son

comrades! We are waiting
Encouraged by promises of reward if
they should fall in the service of the
Abbey, and by threats of penalties if
they should hold back, the four archers
were about to close, when singular
interruption gave an entirely new turn
to the proceedings.
At the door of the chapter-house,
whilst these fiery doings had been afoot,
there had assembled a mixed crowd of
lay brothers, servants and varlets who
had watched the development of the
drama with the interest and delight with
which men hail a sudden break in a dull
routine. Suddenly there was an agita-
ton at the back of this group. then

THE WOODMAN'S STRIDE.
with a Long Swinging Step, He
Covers Much Ground and Pre-.
serves a Perfect RaIa0ce

A woodman walks with a rolling
motion, his hips swaying an inch or
more to'the stepping side, and his pace
Is correspondingly long. His hip ac-
ton may be noticed to an exaggerated
degree in the stride of a professional
pedestrian, but the latter walks with a
heel-and-toe step, whereas an Indians
or sailors step is more nearly flatfooted.
In the latter case the center of gravity
is covered by the whole foot. The poise
is as secure as that of a rope walker.
The toes are pointed straight forward,
or even a trifle inward, so that the in
side of the heel, the outside of the ball
of the foot, and the smaller toes all do
their share of work and assist in bal
ancing. Walking in the woods in this
manner, one is not so likely to trip over
projecting roots, stones and other traps
as he would be if the feet formed
hooks by pointing outward. The ad
vantage is obvious in snowshoeing. If
the Indian were turned to stone while
in the act of stepping, the statue would
probably stand balanced on one foot.
His gait gives the limbs great control
over his movements. He is always
poised. If stick cracks under him it
is because of his weight, and not by
reason of the impact. He goes silently
on, and with great economy of force.
His steady balance enables him to put
his foot down as gently as you would
lay an egg on the table.

CARRY A BIG STICK.
Cane Preferred to Revolver by
Detectives.

president = Roosevelts epigram-
Speak softly and carry a big stick {,
has been quoted all over the world"
said an expert fencing master, who
has taught sword practice in a dozen
of the worlds capitals. "And it is
good advice literally as well as figu-
ratively. Do not provoke quarrels;
avoid them if you can. But be pre-
pared for a tight corner. Many night
policemen and detectives carry stout
canes in preference to revolvers. The
stick is always ready in all wea-
theirs. The revolver must be car
ried in the pocket, and only an expert
can flash it on the instant. When
you are in a situation where your stick
is needed do not figure on using it as
club. An agile man can dodge the
sweep of a stick, and knife you before
you recover your guard. Carry the
stick with the tip somewhat in ad-
vance, grasping it firmly six inches
or more below the knob or handle.
If you are confronted by an adver-
sary give him a sudden, hard thrust
with the small end. The stomach is
most vulnerable point. and if you
catch him fairly the chances are ten
to one that he will double up like a
jack-knife. Before he recoversi YOU
can withdraw the stick and hand him
one on the head or the back of the
neck that will put him out Of business

PUMPKINS
For Seed

ing the War for Independence the ad-
yertising of this commodity appar-
emily ceased, although it is hardly be-
lieved that there was not time but
what one could purchase seeds in any
of the large cities OF that period.
A Pioneer Scotsman.
In 1884, David Landreth commenced
operations in Philadelphia; Bernard
M'Mahon, in that same city in 1900,
while in 1905, Grant Thorburn began
to sell seeds in New York. By 1880
the population had increased from
about three million in 1870, to ten
and a half millions. TO meet the
growing demand for vegetables and
flowers, these ten and a half millions
required more than three and a half
times as many seeds as were used in
1890. Dealers established themselves
in the principal cities and crossed the
mountains.
Along with the reaching out for
trade came the increasing size and
prominence of the catalogue. The ear
liest seed catalogues were mere lists
not intended for general distribution.
Thorburn probably issued the first
seed catalogue as early as 1923.
shortly after the civil war the cata-
1ogue became more prominent. Its
size was increased and a few illustra-
tons appeared. Novelties were not as
numerous twenty years ago as they
are today; they were not given so
much attention either. Today there is
not an important catalogue but gives
considerable space to novelties.
Seedsmen are on the alert for novel
ties; they are the money makers. The
modern catalogue, with its profusely
illustrated pages while in a sense the
Amador ledger., 1905-11-24

both with regard to their germinative
quality and their trueness to name.
There is great opportunity for adulter-
alton, and many farmers are apt to
consider they are saving money if they
can get seeds at a reduced rate, find
ing out when it is too late that they
have been swindled with false varie-
ties or that perhaps so per cent. of
their seeds fail utterly of termination.
Personal Seed Tests.
The average farmer, however, would
do well to carry on a little seed test
ing establishment of his own each
year, and this course is advocated by
the Department of Agriculture. In
Amador ledger., 1905-11-24

half-tones and color plates. The bar
rel of peas first sold in Newport has
grown to hundreds of bags, and the
few thousand packets to millions. The
modern seed house has every mechani-
cal contrivance to aid in making the
business economical and systematic.
From the cellar to the mailing room
everything is so arranged that orders
may be filled with accuracy and dis
patch. During the late summer and
early fall catalogues are prepared for
mailing, and seeds packed in readiness
for distribution. While one hundred
letters a day was considered a large
business thirty years ago, some houses
now receive over six thousand daily
during the busy season.
OF course to supply this enormous
trade much attention must be paid to
the growing Of the seed. The present
development of garden-seed growing
began when David Landreth estab-
lished a small seed farm at Philadel-
|phia in 1884. During the Civil War

American Cheese Production.

Twenty years ago the cheese supply
of Great Britain was largely furnished
by the United States, but to-day Can
ada has taken the lead and far out
stripped us as an exporter of this COM
modify. In 1880 the United States
sent 131, 1,20S,776 pounds of cheese to
Great Britain, while in 1904 only
25,1S0,960 pounds were shipped to that
country. Canada, on the other hand,
exported over 31,000,000 pounds twen-
ty-five years ago as against 212. .S62, 800
pounds last year. This loss of trade,
however, has not been injurious, but
on the other hand, is caused through
an excess of consumption at home over
production, while reverse conditions
prevail with our Canadian neighbor.
Canada was thus forced to seek the
British markets for her plethora and
to fill up the place left vacant in that
market by the withdrawal of the Unit
ed States therefrom.
While the United States, in
1900, manufactured nearly 2S2,OO0,OOO
pounds of cheese, the per capita fac
tory production was only 81 pounds,
whereas, on the other hand, in 1901,
Canada produced 224,OOO0OO pounds,
furnishing nearly 41.S pounds for each
1nhabitant. 1t is therefore shown, by
a report from Consul General Hollo-
way, of Halifax, that the Canadian
export trade to which every one of
our neighbors points with pride was
not gained at the expense of the Unit
ed States, for they must export their
cheese or get "snowed under" The
United States can not keep up in pro-
duction with our increasing home CON
sumption.
