She heard him wonderingly. Was he
going to leave her. now that he had
her safely clasped to his breast? I'm.
possible. All, she understood. Those
men must have landed in boat. He
intended to attack them again. He
was going to fight them single handed,
and she would not know what happen
ed to him until it was all over. Grad
ually her vitality returned. She almost
smiled at tie fantastic conceit that she
would desert him.
jerks placed her OH her feet at the
entrance to the cave.
"You understand" lie cried, and with

The sailor knew that the Dyaks had
landed at the sandy bay Iris had chris
tened Smugglers' cove. They were ar-
quainted with the passage through the
reef and came from the distant Islands.
Now they would endeavor to escape
by the same channel. They must be
prevented ut all costs.
He was right. As they came out into
the open he saw three men, not two,
pushing off large sampan. One OF
them was the chief. Then jerks un-
derstOod that his bullet had hit the
lock of the Dyak's uplifted weapon,
with the result already described. BY
a miracle he had escaped.
He coolly prepared to slay the three
of them with the same calm purpose
that distinguished the opening phase
Of this singularly one sided conflict.
The distance was much greater, per-
haps 800 yards from the point where
the boat came into view. He knelt and
fired. He judged that the missile struck
the craft between the trio.

side of the fore sight," he said. "or per-
haps am bit shaky after the run. In
any event they can't so far"
A hurrying step on the coral behind
him caught his ear. Instantly he
sprang up and faced about-to see Iris.
"They are escaping" she said.

away from her.
Where are the others?"

"Do you mean that you killed nearly
all those men?"
"Six of them. There were nine In

He knelt again. lifting the rife. Iris
threw herself on her knees by his side.
There was something awful to her in
this chill and businesslike declaration
Of fixed purpose.
"Alr. Jenks,' she said. clasping her
hands In an agony of entreaty. do not
kill more men for my sake!"
1 "For my own sake. then," he growl-
ed, annoyed ut the interruption. rs the
sampan was afioat.
"Then / ask you for Gods sake not
to take another life. What you have al.
ready done was unavoidable. perhaps

! He lowered his weapon and looked at

"If those men get away they will
bring back host to avenge their COM

Salt for Sheep,

After all the emphasis that has been
put upon the Importance of supplying
plenty of salt to the sheep flock, some
fiockmasters still fail to appreciate its
value, says Leo c. Reynolds in Michigan
Farmer. Just yesterday a man asked
me the question, "what do you think Is
the cause of my lambs coming weak9 l
have been giving them the best of atten-
ton, feeding plenty of bright clover hay
and oats and middlings for grain, yet
nv lambs at birth are weak and puny."
"Have you salted your flock regularity"
inquired. swell, pretty regularly,
possibly three or four times since fall, "
was the reply. The trouble in this case
answers itself. There is no use talking,
salt is an absolute essential in the sue
cessful rearing of lambs and the quicker
we flockmasters fully comprehend this
fact the better it will be for our pocket
book. The lack of salt is not always to
blame but when other things have been
properly looked after and this one
neglected it is pretty good evidence.
II you want healthy, vigorous lambs
don't fail to salt the flock regularly.

Fitzhugh Lee is dead. He was
a man who commanded the un-
divided admiration of his country
men. Whether at the head Of mar
tiai columns; in public station or
10 private life, his courage and
his virtues lent luster to a name
indissolubly linked with the spen-
did achievements Of his country in
peace and war. There is, perhaps,
no family in America whose gene
alogy more emphatically empha'
sizes the heredity of lofty traits.
His blood has its source in the
veins Of cavaliers, and succeeding
generations of Lees have given to
