He stood more erect as he said this,
and spoke with an air of braggadocio.
But somehow 1t has stirred old
times to light. Jean-this dream of
mine" he added, relapsing into the
odd softness of look and voice.
Rouse yourself Laro--what has
come to yCu?" said Lafitte sharply;
for he was beginning to wonder If this
were anything more than new phase
Of maudlin excitement
But Laro remained silent, his eyes
fixed upon the deck.
What is this dream which seems
to have affected you so powerfully"
presently inquired Laftte, thinking
that perhaps it might be better to
humor Laro than to show disrespect
for his peculiar mood
The broad brown hand went again
to rest upon Lafitte's shoulder, and
Laro looked on over the sea with eyes
which seemed for the moment to have
lost all interest in the approaching
vessel.
1T was this. my lad sat at table
heaped with fruits and wines. and
about me was such as makes the heart
of man glad to be alive. But sudden.
ly there came flash of lightning.
with an awful peal of thunder, and,
looking out upon a portico near me, I
saw form clad like an Indian warrior

tico the steed galloped, and into the
room. where 1t circled around the
table. until the warrior drew his bow
and let fly an arrow that struck my
glass, and sent the wine. blood-red.

What cause for suspicion can lie in

Captain Laro permits it,"
Garonne growled something under
his breath-doubtless, profanity; but
this was suppressed, as Lafitte seldom
failed to emphasize his disapproval of
such language in his presence.
Have you positive reason for sus-
pecting anything wrong from Ehe,

ed sternly.

The Remedy Used by Mr.. S-hro~ppeii a~a

Vicinity Of Their Homes.

II the winter of 1923 Mr. Schroeppel
was confined 10 his bed by severe at
tack of rheumatism His doctor 5 treat
ment proved unsuccessful, hut lie s,ibse-
uuently regained his health by means
which he describes with great enthn-
siasin.
After five or six weeks Of helpless
ness and pain" said he, :. during which
l was receiving regular visits from the
doctor, felt as bad as ever. Just then
my mother, II woman eighty years Of
age, paid me visit. She had received
great benefit from DIR. Williams Pink
Pills, and she was confident they would
help me. At her solicitation I gave mp
the doctors treatment and took the pills
in its place"
"And were you cured Is the result Of
taking her advice:"
"Yes, quickly and thoroughly. Be-
fore the second box was finished felt
very manifest improvement. and within
two weeks was able to leave my bed and
take up my neglected farm work. l con.
tinued to use the pills, however. until
eight boxes had been taken, although
long before that felt that every ves-
tige Of the disease had been eradicated.
"Are there no traces left?"
absolutely none. For year and
three months there has never been the
slightest return of the old trouble. For
this happy result and my family freely
praise DIR. Williams Pink Pills"
Within the bounds Of China township,
st. Clair county, Mich. there is 10 bet
ter known farmer than Mr.. Henry
Schroeppel. His cure has therefore nat
urally attracted great deal Of attention.
Ono Of Mr.. Sclrocppel's 's neighbors, Cap
tain George Balfour, after hearing of the
salutary results i'll Mr.. Schroeppel' 8 case,
decided to try DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for All attack of rheumatism from which
he was himself suffering. He took eight
or ten boxes and now declares himself
free from the painful ailment."
1t is little wonder that DIR. Williams
Pink Pills are much in favor in the COM
munity where Mr.. Scliroeppel and Cap
tain Balfour are so well and favorably
known. They are sold by all druggists
and are equally successful in curing
neuralgia, sciatica and partial paralysis.

orchard in the Cache valley. 1t is
advised that trees Of this kind shall be
set at such distances as to make lOs
trees to the acre. The orchard re-
ferred to gave an average yield OF /
bushels of marketable apples per tree,
which sold readily in Salt Lake City
at 1925 per bushel. With these
facts in mind, $500 90 for an apple or
chard is a very conservative estimate.
Prof. HUT recommends not more than
3 or varieties for small orchard OF
this size. and would include such ap.
pies as the Ben Davis. Jonathan, Mis-
souri, Pippin, Rhode Island Greening
and Winter Pearmain. The first
three, on account Of their color, will

A Few Sheep Profitable.

Sheep eat and thrive on weeds and
material on the farm that other stock
do not relish. Every fence corner,
fence row, and weed patch will be
more completely cleaned by them than
by the Scythe or hoe. y hundred
sheep could be kept on farm Of eighty
acres and one would scarcely miss the
cost of their care and keeping. They
return too, in fertilizers about ~ per
cent of all they have eaten. There
is. an old Spanish proyerb, THE
sleeps foot is golden" originating
doubtless from the fact that the sheep
enriches the soil. expensive build
ings are needed. Secure some good
range ewes and pure-bred ram Of the
breed you prefer, and in a few years
an excellent grade of sheep will be the
result. a number of sheep are kept
at the Station and very little atten-
ton is paid to them, yet they keep the
pastures free from weeds and the re-
turns from the lambs and the wool
net a very satisfactory profit.

Feeding Sugar Beets.

\ common question often asked is,
"Why do sugar beetS and sugar beet
tops dry up cOws?" Sugar beets or
sugar bectS tops fed excessively as a
sole diet will reduce the milk flow and
increase the live weight because they
contain fat rather than milk-forming
material. II such feeding is continued
long the animals may scOur and do
very poorly. 4 good feed OF bects for
an ordinary cow is 30 TO 40 pounds per
day in two feeds, along with a small
amount of grain and all the lucern
she will clean up night and morning.
Sugar beet tops should be fed care
fully, and never as a sole diet.

which was nearest the mark. Mr..
Sales houses were not painted or

were not representative, but he didn't
know that the color of the house made
any difference in the egg yield.
There is, however another style of
