yearly exported with port value OF

favorable to this country by sending
to foreign nations surplus which In
sixteen years has aggregated Sl2,UOo'

TYT was not long before we were Wis
8 tied by the first retribution for
@ what might be accounted crime
and what was at least provoked
by our own illegal acts. Indeed. the
surprise fell sooner than | had antici-
pated, although it happened by the
means | had always considered proba-
bic. That Williams, garrulous and
sharp eyed Welshman as he was, could
be secured in silence was well nigh i'm
possible, for even if concealment had
been for his personal benefit he would
still have piled his tongue, and, though
he were sworn to secrecy, the private
transactions of this singular feud
would have slowly dribbled through
his communications and become cur
rent in the gossip of the country This
knowledge was mainly instrumental
in lettering us from confiding in him.
Burglars We're the bugaboo we had
brandished before him, and burglary,
sure enough, was the word that ran
over the district. The news came to us
late that morning. As / gathered, Will

was he. and he alone, who gave the sig

was the author of that fall from the
battlements. But this was just as well,
for TIE man knew nothing Of its fatal
issue, and poor Sheppard did not
gru6ge him the credit.
But am trespassing upon my aarra-

celebrate his own eleverness, made his

How TO Plant Trees

Prepare rich, deep bed of mellow
soil. and have the land sufficiently
drained to relieve the roots from stand
ing water. To insure fine growth,
land should be in as good condition as
is required for crop of wheat, corn
or potatoes.
We use great care in digging and
packing, but the loss of small roots and
fibres is unavoidable. If stock is proper
ly prepared before planting, no perma-
nent injury will result from this but IN
cases of bianehed, or trees older
than one'year, the preservation of the
natural, !, balance, between tops and
roots, renders vigorous cutting of the
former aosolutelys necessary; in most
Q asses. Therefore, pruIe off broken or
bruised ends of roots if any. Cut back
the tops to about one half the extent
of the previous years growth, taking
care at all times to pune in such IA
way as to develop wellg tormeds head,
sufficiently open to permit air and light
freely. LOne year olda trees: where
there is but one straight stock, should
be cut down to the desired height for
forming the head.
In planting.the trees see that the
ground is solidly end. firmly packed
over all parts of tie roots so that there
will be no opportunity for air to enter
and destroy roots deprieved of the ben.
eft of The natural protection. OTis-
