light in his little eyes, 1T is at an end
now, Monsieur! You took us in fine

his commission, and your commission,
and the rest. But I am not to be
blinded any longer, or bullied! You
have arrested him, have you? You
have arrested him! Well, by
Cd, I shall arrest him, and shall
arrest you too"
"You are mad!" said, staggered
as much by this new view of the mat
ter as by his perfect conviction Of its
truth. Mad, Lieutenant"
II was!" he snarled dryly. "But I
am sane now. I was mad when you
imposed upon us; when you persuaded
me that you were fooling the woman
to get the secret out of them, while
all the time you were sheltering them,
protecting them, aiding them, and
hiding him-then I was mad! But
not now. However, I ask your par
don, M. de Barthe, or M. de Berault,
or whatever your name really is. l ask
your pardon. l thought you the clev-
crest sneak and the dirtiest hound
heaven ever made, or hell refused! l
find that you were cleverer than I
thought, and an honest traitor. Your
pardon"
One of the men who stood about
the rim Of the bowl above us laughed.
I looked at the lieutenant and could
willingly have killed him. "Mon Dieu!"
I said, so furious in my turn that I
could scarcely speak. "Do you say
that I am an impOstOr-t1at I do not
hold the cardinals commission"
II do say that" he answered cool

"And that I belong to the rebel par

are an honest man on the wrong side,
M. de Berault. And you say that you
are scoundrel on the right. The ad-
vantage, however, is with me, and
shall back my opinion by arresting
you"
A ripple of coarse laughter ran round
the hollow. The sergeant who held
the lanthorn grinned, and trooper at
a distance called out of the darkness,
"A bon chat bon rat!" This brought
a fresh burst of laughter, while stood
speechless, COMPOUNDED by the stub
bornness. the crassness, the insolence,
of the man. "You fool" I cried at
last, "you fool!" And then NJ. de

hut, and taken stand at my elbow, IN

Low Heads for Fruit Trees

I have no arbitrary height at which
fruit trees should be headed; any
height below "a inches will do. This
may seem too low to most people, espe-
cially those who are in the habit of
growing and pruning apple trees into
forest trees. But bear in mind that
we want an apple tree and not a for
est tree, that we want fruit and plenty

men are willing to supply low-headed
trees if we demand them, but as long
as we prefer fishing poles and whips.
we will be served with them. It NAV
cost more to grow low-headed, sticky
trees, since fewer number are grown
on a given area. It demands more
labor, but the time is at hand when
the fruit grower is willing to nav If

Rotation a Help.

Will say that most of the farmers
in this vicinity practice rotation of
crops to a certain, degree, writes
Kane county (1ll.) farmer. Corn, oats
and clover is the most common and
in my opinion the best. The princi-
pal obstacle in this uractice is a fail
ure to get crop Of clover on certain
years when it is too dry. There has
been but very little of this trouble
now for three years. I have found
that this rotation is great help, as
much more oats and corn can be
raised than could possibly be other
wise. There are few farmers that
follow rotation of oats snd corn, but
usually without good results.

GEAR
side by side by using this leveler on it
than the other fellows have been able
to do with three loads dumped in the
same space on which the leveler was
not used.
IF get my road too sharp I place
my stick squarely across the road be-
hind the wagon and then cut the top
off some, leveling it at the same time.
The angle of the drag depends upon
the sort of work that you SAINT to do.
IF the reader will study the plan
for a moment he will readily under
stand some of it's possibilities. 1t will
be seen that the wagon and horses
can be kept in the track in most cases
and by standing upon certain por-
ton Of the drag, it can be made to go
into almost any position desired or
cut deeper in certain places.
Suppose that it is desired that the
soil should be cut at the right of the
wagon at distance further out than
what the drag would naturally 20. If
the driver will step upon the stick at
point somewhere near the right end
of the drag, it is clear that his weight
will not cause the drag to swerve more
to the right, but will cause the stick
to cut deeper into the soil.
ION the other hand, suppose that it
Is desired that the drag should cut
nearer to the middle of the track.
Then the rider must stand somewhere
nearer to the left end of the drag.
The reader will readily understand
what the result will be when the
weight of a man is placed at different
points Of the drag.
"More than this, different effects
can be made by lengthening and
shortening the longer chain Obvious
ly the angle at which the drag is
drawn will determine to some extent
where the drag will work.
It will be noted from the illustra-
ton that Mr.. Bower does not use the
split log" but rather a solid stick
Of timber. It will be plain to be seen,
however, that the "split log could be
readily substituted for the soil stick,
and probably more effective work
could be done.
There will be little trouble in at
taching such a drag to the wagon
gear. In comparison to the steadying
effect the extra draft of the wagon
gear would probably amount to prac-
tically nothing.

EFFECTIVE LOG DRAG.

The improvement of the log drag Is
suggested by w. L. Bower, Of Ken
lucky, in the Prairie Farmer. 1t will
be noted from the accompanying illus
tration that instead of hitching the
team to the drag itself he/ fastens the
drag to the wagon gear. 1t is apparent
that the drag can thus be held more
steadily than would be the case where
hitched directly to the team.

in the Croix, the clerical organ, that the pope forbids Catholics to abide by the public meeting law of 1881, under which the government proposes that religious services shall be held in the future.
 By refusing to accept the law of asso- citations, now in effect, or any compro- mise under other less drastic laws the pope has rendered public Catholic wor- ship in France Illegal henceforth ex- cept in schismatic organizations.
 The residence of Mgr. Montagnini was searched by the police, and im- at the nunciature were seized and talk en to police headquarters.
 Formal notice was served on Cardi- nal Richard, archbishop of Paris, and the bishops and parish priests of this department that they must vacate their residences at once. Similar mo- tices were served on the clergy in the leave their residences on Thursday or Friday.
 The cabinet approved Minister of Justice Briand's programme for put ting the separation law into effect. Every Catholic service held through out France next Sunday will be pro scribed as illegal, and the officiating priests will be liable to arrest and prosecution.
 The government has seized at Mo dane, Savoy, the pope's confidential in- structions to the French bishops.
 The cabinet approved Minister of Justice Briand's propositions for the suppression of pensions of the clergy, immediate liquidation of church prop erty. alienation of clergy houses, bish- ops seats and seminaries and meas ures to be formulated in the interests of national security, under which the minister of war will summon ecclesi- astical students to rejoin their regi- ments at once
 The tone of the republican press of all shades indicates that if the pope imagines that an uncompromising atti- tude will compel the French govern ment to open negotiations with the Vatican he has woefuIly mistaken the temper of the people.
 The attitude of the leaders of the church in France is one of passive re- sistance.

 Premier Clemenceau. replying to a question in the chamber of deputies as to the reason for the expulsion of Mgr.

The premier declared that the government s conciliatory propositions toward the church had been exhausted and that Ii had been decided in future to leave the burden on Rome.

BAD ACCIDENT 7
Caused by the First Snow
Storm.

Leo Nieschwitz, of No. 626 Cassidy
street, had a narrow escape from SER
ious injury Wednesday afternoon by
being struck by an automobile at the
corner of North and Market streets.
The machine, which was driven by
w. Marsh King, a travelling repre-.
sentative for a typewriter company
was coming south on larket street
while Nieschwitz was going west on
North street on a motorcycle. He was
thrown heavily on his head and was
picked up by King and his companion,
r. w. Leach, and taken to the office
of DIR. ]. P. Schilling. Later he was
removed to his home. No bones were
broken, but he was severely bruised
about the head and shoulders and will
be laid up for several days.
Mr.. King is entirely exempt from
blame as the binding snow made it
impossible for the parties to see each
other in time to avoid the collision.
Nieschwitz is employed at John Dun
laps repair shop on East Eighth
street.
