Anything happened, Mr.. Philip"
asked, casting up his narrow eyes at
the others face.
Happened; no, said Philip Dyce.
Il was out for walk and seeing the
light, dropped in. thinking I might
be able to help you with your ac-
counts. Do you make as many mis-
takes as you used, eh?"
Slime trembled This was the first
time since the night he had signed

between them.

which grew malicious and spiteful.

Philip.
Your friend" echoed Slime, with
a grin Not much friendship lost
atwixt you two. Mr. Philip, anyone
can see"
AS how"
It's pretty plain" replied Slime,
not sorry, perhaps, to get a chance OF
saying something disagreea5le to the
man who held him so tightly 1t isn't
likely as a gentleman like you would
be pleased to see a nobody knows
who like this Kingsley stepping into
his place. In the old times, Mr..
Philip you used to be everything at

Philip sat on the edge of the table
and looked at his slave with a nasty

He paused, took out his cigar-case
and felt in his pocket for a match.
Not finding his fusee-case. he drew
out piece of paper and was about to
slowly fold it into a pipe-lght. when,
as if by accident, he glanced at it,

CHAPTER XVI.

Cyril Kingsley had dared to be in
qmsitive about the prices obtained for
the produce. and had even ventured
to- take an interest In some of the
leases of the various farms on the es-
tate Mr. Slime felt himself very
cruelty used and, as he of course did
a little plundering in the direction IN
which Cyril Kingsley was inquiring,
hated that young gentleman with a
virulent hatred beyond description.
Wine he was smoking his pipe
and gulping down his gin-and-water
of which he WAS a little too fond,
and Of which he had already partakea
rather freely-he was cudgeling his
brains for some plan of injuring.

And he brought his fist Gown on

The noise prevented him from hear

was with start and half,frightened
face he looked up TO see Philip Dyce

1t was wet night. and the wind
howled-as it has habit of bowling
in this delightful climate-round the
house and Philip Dyee wore long
riding-cloak. above which his intel
lectual face looked proud and MASTER
full
There was something about the
paleness of the face and the hard
smile on the thin lips that made Mr..
Slime vaguely uncomfortable
He got up and dragged a chair TO

rather overdone.

JACK-PlNE LANDS.

From northern Minnesota comes =
pitiful plea that the government
should instruct settlers how to set
good farm crops off denuded jacA-pine
lands. The government is better en-
gagged when it instructs settlers to
keep off such lands and to leave them
for forestry. Only when they occur
in the Immediate vicinity Of some
great city is it worth while to incm
the expense involved in that practical
recreation of their soil which is nee
esary to convert them into GOOD
farms.

The Wisconsin State Horticultural
society is out with a practical little
bulletin on pruning orchard trees,
that is not only instructive but time
ly. 1t deals with the actual work,
how to cut, where to cut and the pro-
per time to cut in order to secure the
best results. Unlike general treatises
on the subject-general rules that APP
ply as well in Georgia as Minnesota
this is prepared with reference to
special climatic conditions in our own
state 1t is the combined experience
of the members of the horticultural
society, and these fruit growers are
the most successful and scientific in
the Badger state.

Root and Branch to Balance.
Under n1rmal-undisturbe
ditions a balance exists IN a tree or
plant between roots and top, 1. e., a
certain number of roots for certain
number of buds and branches.
The removal of one without dis
turbing the other npsets the balance.
If a farmer who is feeding 90 cows
sells five he does not continue to
furnish the remainder with food for
20 but cuts it down % Is rations.
The tree, however, does not possess
the faculty of reasoning, and if one.
fourth Of its branches are removed
during the dormant period when feed
ing time, spring, comes again the
roots send up food for all. The result
is greatly increased wood growth, the
revival of dormant buds and in some
cases growth of sap-sprouts. Con
root-pruning without a cor
responding removal of branches caus,
es check to wood growth.
Orchard trees in Wisconsin grow,
in length of shoots, but little after
Growth during the re-
mainder of the season is in the direc-
ton of wood maturity, the ripening
Of fruit buds of the following season.
From these facts the conclusion
may be drawn that pruning during
The dormant season induces wood
growth and pruning in summer, i. e.,
pinching shoots early in summer to
check wood growth, or removing
branches later in summer induces
fruit bearing.
Any practice which serves to check
growth, if it does not interfere with
the health of the plant, will induce
fruit-bearing. While this principle
may not be as readily demonstrated
as the others, it is yet a matter of
observation.

How II is Done.

As to the mechanical work the bull
letin makes these suggestions:
At the base of every branch will be
found a bulge or swelling. In prun-
ing the cut should be made so as to
remove this or a stub viii result. AS
the heart wood never heals and re-
mains always moist it is essential TO
cover all large wounds as soon as
made with some material which will
prevent the entrance of germs which
cause disease and decay until the
callous cushion or healing tissue coy
ers the wound For this purpose graft
ing-wax is a most excellent material.
If this is not available lead and oil
paint affords an excellent substitute.
Wounds under one inch in diameter
will usually heal in one season; all
larger than this should have a
thorough dressing of wax or paint.
II is difficult to give definite direc-
tons for pruning and still more diff.
ticult to follow such directions. as
every tree and plant possess a certain
individuality which must be con
sidered in pruning. The orehardsst's
beginning in pruning comes when the
trees are planted. Before the tree
was removed from the nursery row 1t
had sufficient roots to supply all Of
its buds with water In digging most
of the roots were removed without a
corresponding reduction Of the buds.

AS soon as warm weather comes after
planting every healthy bud will push
out and call for water to feed its new
bora leaves. AS many of the roots
which formerly supplied these buds
have been torn away by the tree

8s3 IN GOLD.
Len anA Dodge Cline Locked MP in
Jail Charged with the
Crime,

LIN Cline and Dodge Cline
brothers are now in Jail charged
with the robbery OF Irwin Foster
in this city at the Pacific Lodging
House, last Tuesday night.
The Cline brothers and Foste
are strangers, the former coming
from Missouri and the latter from
Michigan.
They came here early in the
spring and Went to work out on
Butter creek about the first oi
April.
Last Tuesday the three men
came to town to attend the circus.
All brought checks from their en-
ployers and got them cashed at the
First National bank.
During the day they attended
the circus together and proceeded
to have a good time. They reg
istered at the Pacific, Lon Cline
and Foster occupying the same
room.
When they got up in the morn
log, Foster who,.had $85 in gold,
discovered that his money was
missing. Cline also claimed that
he had been relieved of $11O.
Young Foster who is not very
bright was greatly worried over
the soss If the money but was told
by his companions not to say any
thing about it, the Cline's saying
that there was no use as he never
could find the guilty parties.
Dodge Cline who slept with
Foster told of the occurrence
around town in several different
stories and acted in such q sus.
picious manner that the matter
was taken up by Sheriff Shut and
Marshal Rasmus.
One of the Cline's had secured a
job of D. 0. Justus but turned it
over to Young Foster who went to
Mr.. Justus' ranch. Sheriff Shut
went cut te see him yesterday
while Marshal Rasmus shadowed

Early yesterday morning they
we're arrested at the depot by

Several days ago a man working
or j. L. Howard overheard the
lines planning a scheme to get
young Foster drunk and take his
,oney away from him, and Foster
vas warned.
The men while at the depot
semed very nervous and asked
