Winslow stayed back in shadow

with the corn-cob she held. Then the
old pioneer whispered a word to Owa-

the latter cleared the vacant space to

TROUBLES OF FACULTY WIFE
She Occupies a Position Which Is
Not Altogether Easy
to Fill.

The wife of a young instructor who
has $500 to 81, 900 year must do her own
Homework, and can hardly offer her
friends even tea and thin bread and but
ter. She is probably gently bred, often
college trained, almost always plucky
and independent, says Atlantic. Even
if she could leave the baby, she will not,
after the first year or so, accept great
deal of hospitality while the pleasure Of
returning it is entirely out Of reach.
Nor is there in this any commercial ele-
ment of social barter. She simply knows
that friendships may be spoiled by hav-
ing all the favors on one side, and wisely
avoids the danger. She keeps her
friends, and has, probably, a pleasant
neighborhood life, but that does not pre-
vent her missing the larger opportuni-
ties. Carried on in various lines, this
certainly makes difference" and the
difference is felt the more keenly just be-
cause of the general democracy Of senti-
ment. and because faculty Of say $50

IRRESISTIBLE DESCRIPTION.

The department detective had been
following the woman during her sys-
tematic meandering past the counters
in the large store. She fitted the de-
scriptiOn of a certain notorious shop
litter. but, while morally certain that
articles had been deity transferred TO
concealed pockets, he had no direct
evidence to cause an arrest. Neverthe-
less, he stopped her just as she made
for the door

said the detective at her elbow, watch
ing her face closely for cOrroboration.
The chilly stare directed at would
be masher was his only reward.
But you are Ellen Johnson, aren t

"A-a-h. sir! you flatter-"
Still further the description says:

The woman pushed back wisp OF
mouse colored hair from her wrinkled
forehead and smiled.

she said. Il confess ALI But be sure

little point where one withered tam
arack stood apart; the dead brown
needles at it's crest crown OF thorns
uplifted to the sky.
On the edge of the forest stood a
scrub-oak tree, one branch OF which
had been bent over and rooted again,
giving a curious hump-backed effect.
Winslow noted this with a start OF
pleasure Another landmark! 1t is
well have before witnessed Owatoga S
forest-craft," he thought.
Hiding the boat he rested in the
shade, but only for little space. For,
with the end of his search so near, he
could not daily, though the grass was
soft and yielding-the turf as a feath-
cred couch; the sky marvellous tur-
quoise canopy, pierced with a thousand
emerald spires.
Rising, he studied carefully every

presence of those he sought. AM

One little crust he picked up and
slipped into his pocket, glancing
shamefacedly at squirrel, when,
perched on a nearby limb, seemed to
note the action with a teasing tilt of
its head and a hooking chatter.
Unlike Owatogas direct course
through the swampy underground
Winslows unfamiliar feet led him by
circuitous path to the base OF NIL
on the opposite side from which the
Indian and Lavender had emerged the
night before.
Here he paused, and taking the dia-
gram from his pocket, studied it again

peep of light over the sumach- bordered
wood, she had watched the suns march
across the sky, wondering at what
point of his pilgrimage he would shine
upon the man who was to seek and
bring her home.
So when, at last, Winslow came, she
felt no surprise-she had known he
would come. The devotion of Gonzaga
the apparent neglect of this 9TH
er--were alike forgotten. 81 am so
glad you have come" she cried, and
went to meet him with both hands out
stretched. Taking them in his: Il
came as soon as | could" he said, and
for a few moments they stood silent,
hands clasped, their eyes meeting.
"Heyday. heyday!" exclaimed their
host, ''am the victim of a conspiracy?
This is what comes Of an old FOOLS
meddling!" But there was a twinkle
in his eye, and the frown was fail
ure. While Lavender went caJolingly
up to him, and stroked his arm in a

Women are better takers than men
even old men," Boone retorted, with
mock gruffness. Il refer you to the
young woman herself. I'll just step
down to the spring and dress these
rabbits for supper. Folks can't live
on talk-nor love, either"
With this parting shot, delivered
over his shoulder between mods and
knowing winks, the old man slipped
into the thicket.
After moments silence, made awk-
ward by the pioneers significant words
and manner, Lavender said: Did you
see mother? Is she"-her eager eyes
supplied the question.

Daniel Boone added, impressively:

ly, surveying the Indian, who, resting
on one knee, Rugged its wounded fell
low.
To his surprise the savage said,
while he rose with difficulty: 81 go

Then you know where l live at

Il know; many others know; take
me with you" This the savage said
over and over, each time more urg-

so this is Col. Boone? | am hon

There suddenly darted through his
mind the thought of Owatoga's mes
sage. and of the "old man of the
woods" But he would waste no time
in vain hope and idle speculation.
Aloud he said This Indian is some
thing of a nuisance, but"
He paused, and the other finished
the phrase: But he is wounded, help
less; we can't leave him to die"
To the Indian Boone said: Come"
and slowly they climbed the hill, Wins
low and his new-found friend, with
the red man staggering between.
Little was said, for the journey was
toilsome and slow, over briars and
roots under sun yet hot, though low
in the west.
At the brow of the hill they paused
and looked down. The shed is there
but YOU cannot see it," Boone said and
to the shade of boasting in his tone
the Indian retorted: But it has been

This was said with such telling en-
phasis that the listeners were filled
with a vague apprehension. From TINS
man, alone, and unarmed, they mad
nothing to fear, but might there not
be others?
Each, however, forbore to question,
and the Indian relapsed into sullen
silence.
They descended the opposite side OF
the hill. and still no sign of dwelling,
when at last the little place came in
sight through break in the thick
grove hedging it about.
And then Winslow's heart stood still
with a tumult of feeling.
There, at the entrance of the cabin,
stood Lavender and the Indian guide
ogether-interested friendly.
1t was all So then, even as the oc-
toroon had said: The white maid
will be safe with Owatoga.

Lavender was showing Owatoga the
use of the gritter See, you rub the
corn along this rough side, and it
comes out meal on the other; it is
really magic, Owatoga."
She laughed, and the low music was
as sweet to hear as she was fair to
see. With arms bare to the elbow,
she held a crock between her knees
into which the meal slowly sifted. Now
and then she raised a face bright and
flushed with exercise to meet the calm
eyes of Owatoga fixed upon her in
placid content.
For a moment the newcomers
watched them thus, then Boone whis-
pered: Il should have prepared you for

Where? Beyond this hill? He
glanced YEARLY at the slope; K was
beautiful with its carpet of flowers and
festoons of ivy Topped from tree and
shrub. 1t was inviting-but it was
steep; he was tired-''just beyond
was vague, tantalizing.
Obedient to the impulse of fatigue,
he sat down to rest against the trunk
of a sycamore whose roots coiled about
him like protecting arms. Not far
away lay the stretch of swampy under
growth; a few PAGES to his right
doomed the hill like a mound made
with giant hands-steep, sharp, with
out purpose in the landscape.
He was bordering whether to ascend
or skirt its base when his attention
was held by the figure of man coming
slowly down. His step was firm and
light as an Indian braves, though from
under the cap of skins flowed hair
whittier than the aspen's silver lining.
He was still too far away for Wins
low to attract his notice. Interested,
the latter watched him as he came,
gun over his shoulder and two hares
dangling in the idle hand.
A stir in the swamp at his left
made the watcher turn his eyes from
the old man to fix them on the thicket
near. There were cautious FOOTBALLS
in its recess, too. Evidently this part
of the woods had no lack of tenantry.
Mechanically, and without noise, Wins
low took firm hold of his rifle, and
kept his eyes fastened on the opening
whence the rustling sound.
He had not long to wait. An In
dian stepped forth, plainly revealed. He
wore buckskin clothes like the white
pioneer, but with bead and blanket and
curious marks on the red skin. His
gaze swept past Winslow, fixed in sar-
donic interest upon the man slowly de-
scending the hill who came steadily
on. unconscious of any presence.
Over the face of the savage crept a
diabolical smile as he raised his rife.
But the trigger was not pulled. There
was, instead, a flash, report from
Winslow's gun, and with a yell of
establishment, rage and pain, the In
dian dropped to his knees.
Quickly Winslow stood over him,
with gun again leveled, and the old
man in silence joined him.
Had we not better disarm the fell
low while we hold him at our mercy
sir?" Winslow suggested, keeping a
watchful gaze on the wounded man.
Daniel Boone bent over him, and
took his gun, tomahawk and knife In
grim silence.
Then rising. he extended his hand
to Winslow with a smile of gratitude
that made young the stern old fea-
lures. Il thank you, sir. It's quick

POULTRY TESTS.

Until quite recently it has been lef
to individual initiative and enterprise
to attend to the scientific development
of the poultry industry of the country
and tabulate the results obtained with
different breeds and under various con-
ditions of care and feeding. Within
the present year, however, the animal
husbandry section of the department of
agriculture has undertaken a series ;of
experiments to determine the relative
value of different methods of feeding,
while the Iowa station has added a
regular poultry department in which
the egg producing capacity of different
breeds will be given a careful test un~
der the same conditions of care anC
feed. The aim III brief is to do for the
poultry interests of the country anG
state what the station seeks to accom-
plish for the swine, sheep and cattle
interests through these respective de-
partments. The results obtained in
these poultry tests will be reliable and
impartial, inasmuch as they will not be
conducted with a view to feathering
the nests of the raisers of this or that
particular breed.

KING COTTON.

In much the same way that corn &C.
cupies the most important place as the
great staple crop in the northern states
cotton holds sway in the south. 1t is
interesting to note in this connection
that the export record Of the United
States for the fiscal year just ended
shows that the value of cotton in raw
and finished form exported from this
country during the last year exceeded
S4O0OO0,OOO, surprising by far tho
value of any other article of merchan-
disc sent out of the country. The ex-
ports Of breadstuffs of all kinds aggre-
gated only s1S6.0OO.OOO. of provisions
SOL, 200, 900 and of iron and stee!
manufactures only $161, 100000. The
Increase in cotton exports has been
very marked during the past five years.
amounting to 33 per cent or over $780,
100000. As a purchaser of raw cotton
the United Kingdom leads with $177,-
100000 worth, Germany takes $101,'
100000 and France $45.OOO.OOO. while
In the matter of manufactured cotton
products China is our best patron, TAX
ing $3O,OOO,O00 worth out of total Of
100000. The showing made is a
fine one and bespeaks the remarkable
era of prosperity which the south is
enjoying.
