CHAPTER xvii.
The habit of reading having penetrat-
ed, as we are told, to all classes of the
community, l am not without hope that
some who peruse this chronicle will be
able, from personal experience, to under
stand the feelings of a man when he first
finds a reward offered for his apprehen-
sion. 1t is true that eur police are not
in the habit of initiating the Presidents
naked brutality by expressly adding
''alive or dead" but l am informed that
the law, In case of need, leaves the alter
native open to the servants of justice. l
am not ashamed to confess that my spirits
were rather dashed by his excellency's
Parthian shot, and / could see that the
Colonel himself was no less perturbed.
The escape of Fleance seemed to Mac
beth to render his whole position unsafe,
and no one who knew General Whiting
ham will doubt that he was a more dan
gerous opponent than Fleance. We both
felt, in fact, as soon as we saw the white
sail of The Songstress bearing our enemy
out of our reach, that the revolution
could not yet be regarded as safely accom-
plished. But the uncertainty Of our ten
ure of power did not paralyze our ener-
make hay while the sun shone, and, If
Aureataland was doomed to succumb once
more to the tyranny, l, for one, was very
clear that her temporary emancipation
might be turned to good account.
Accordingly, on arriving again at the
Golden House, we lost no time in insti-
tuting a thorough inquiry into the state
of the public finances. We ransacked the
house from top to bottom and found moth
ing Was it possible that the President
had carried off with him all the treas
ure that had inspired our patriotic eff
forts? The thought was too horrible. The
drawers of his escritoire and the safe that
stood in his library revealed nothing to
our eager eyes. A foraging party dis
patched to the ministry of finance (where,
by the way, they did not find Don Anto-
MO or his fair daughter), returned with
the discouraging news that nothing was
visible but ledgers and bills. In deep
detection l threw myself into his excel
lency's chair with the doleful reflection
that this pleasure seemed all was likely
to get out of the business The Colonel
stood moodily with his back to the fire
place, looking at me as if l were respon.
sible for the state of things.
At this point in came the Signorina
We greeted her gloomily, and she was as
startled as ourselves at the news of the
Presidents escape; at the same time
thought detected an undercurrent Of re-
lief. When, however, we went on Ia
break to her the nakedness of the land
she stopped US at once.
"Oh, you stupid men, you haven't look,
ed In the right place. l suppose you ex,
pected to find it laid out for you on the
dining room table. Come with me-"
we followed her into the room where
Carr lay. He was awake, and the Sig
norma went and asked him how he was
Then she continued:

few minutes, Mr.. Carr"

Alfalfa q Swine Tonic.

Raising 1000 hogs year without
ever having any sign of cholera in the
herd is the claim put forth by M Bar.
Der of Bloomington, Neb. He makes 4
speciality of this industry and has 300
acres of alfalfa, where the hogs are
raised.
"AIy hogs are raised in the field from
the time they are pigs till they are
about 8 months old, when put them
on a feed of corn" said Mr. Barber to
a representative of the Kansas CITY
Drovers' Telegram. IF fed in summer
time 1 soak the corn. But the alfalfa
Is the most important feed they get
and is the one great thing that keeps
them healthy all the year around. In.
all the years that 1 have been raising
and handling hogs in this way, never
had a case of hog cholera on my farm.
This is due to the alfalfa, which keeps
the hogs healthy"

Treatment OF the soil.

We have but little more detin,ta
knowledge of the soil and the principles
involved in its treatment than we had
sixty years ago, says the Scientihe
American. Fertility is not nitrogen
phosphorus, and potassium alone
though the potential value of any Geld
or State, or country, from the agricuI.
tural standpoint, is measured by these
constituent elements in its soil; vet II
has been demonstrated that soils which
contain an abundance of these elements
and which are potentially capable Of
producing crops for centuries perhapa
are not capable of producing prortabIs.
crops without the addition of further
amounts of these constituents. The.
chemical Investigator is, therefore, com.
PEELED to take into consideration Other
facts than this. He must, II he would
cover the whole field, know something
of geology, of botany, of physics Of
biology, of bacteriology and Of TIE
other natural sciences. because chen.
istry alone is not capable Of fully com
passing the problem; thus, the oppor-
tunlty for specializing in any branch
has been very great, and it is because.
Of the broadness Of the subject, ana
tile opportunity, as already pointed out,
and the necessity, also, for giving imme-
diate help from the knowledge that we.
have that has prevented in degree

tial for enabling genuine progress to be-
made.

Water and Salt for Cows.

Eight gallons Of water a day Is the
average quantity required for a COW,
and the milk givenis about 81 per cent
water. In some pastures there Is no
water, the cows being supplied night
and mocning, which forces such COW to
drink four gallons at time in order
to be supplied. AS the COW does not
know that she must drink four gallons,
she may use less, and she will reduce
her milk supply accordingly.
Extensive tests and investigations
have been made by the experiment sta
tons to determine the ACCESSIBILITY of
adding salt to the ration of dairy
cows. AS a result of these trials, it is
recommended that dairy COWS be given
at least one ounce of salt per day. Elk
ceptionally heavy mixers will require
more than this. The uniform results
obtained with all cows employed in
these trials indicate that salt In addi-
ton to that obtained in their food is
absolutely essential to the continued
health of dairy COW, while producing
milk. 1t is evident, moreover, thai
the amount of salt which must be SUD-
piled directly will greatly vary in diff.
ferent localities, it being more at bigh
elevations and at places remote from
the sea.-Agrlcultural Epitomist.

CHAPTER XV.-(Continued.
Thus far the Signorina. must beg to
cali special attention to the closing lines
Of her narrative. But before l relate
the very startling occurrence to which
she refers, we must return to the bar
racks, whore, it will be remembered, mat
tiers were in q rather critical condition
When the officers saw their mess room
suddenly Alled with armed men, and
heard the alarming order issued by the
Colonel, their attention was efectually
diverted frOm me. They crowded togeth-
er on enc side Of the table, facing the
Colonel and his men on the other. AS
slEsted By the two men sent to my AID l
seized the opportunity to push my way
through them and range myself by the
side Of my leader. After moments
pause the Colonel began:
''Ths last thing we should desire, gen
tlemen," he said, us to resort to force.
But the time for explanation Is short.
The people of Aureataland have at last
risen against the tyranny they have 80
long endured. General Nottingham has
proved a traitor to the cause OF freedom
he won his position in the name OF lib
erty; he has used 1t to destroy liberty.
The voice of the people has declared him

people have placed in my hand the sword
Of vengeance Armed with this mighty
sanction, / have appealed to the army.
The army has proved true to its tradi-
tions-true to its character of the pro
tector, not the oppressor, Of the people
Gentlemen, will you who lead the army
take your proper placer
There was no reply to this moving APP
peal. He advanced closer to them, and
went on
"There Is no middle way. You are pat
riots or traitors-friends of liberty or
friends Of tyranny. / stand here to offer
You either a traitors death, or, II you
win, life, honor and the satisfaction Of all
your Just claims. Do you mistrust the
people2 /, as their representative, here
offer you every just due the people owe
you-debts which had long been paid but
for the greed of that great traitor"
As he said this he took from his men
some bags Of money, and threw them an
the table with a loud chink.
Major DeChair glanced at the bags, and
glanced at his comrades, and said:
ain the cause of liberty, heaven forbid
we should be behind Down with the
tyrant !"
And all the pack yelped in chorus
'aThen, gentlemen, to the head of your
men," said the Colonel, and going to the
window, he cried to the throng:
"Men, your noble officers are with u.s."
A cheer answered him. wiped my
