to their ghostly influences. They fol-
lowed the hunter and trapper day and
night, Turing him into safety or danger,
as they chose. They were everywhere,
and In countless numbers, ready and
sure to avenge all wrongs and reward
all virtues. They had Chieftain also,
a great white spectre who came forth
from the north in winter. and swept
across the wilderness, spreading death
and terror.
To Chip, educated only in the fan
tastic lore of Old Tomah, these terrors
now became insanity breeding. She
could not turn back-better death
among the spites than shaving to the
half-breed; and SO, faint from awful
fear, gasping from miles of running,
she stumbled on. And now a little
hope came, for the road bent down be-
side the river. and its low voice seemed
a word of cheer. Into it's cool depths
she could at least plunge and die, as a
last resort.
Soon an opening showed ahead, and
a bridge appeared. Here, for the first
time, on this vantage point, she halted.
How thrice blessed those knotted logs
now seemed! She Rugged and patted
them in AFFECT gratitude. She crawled
to the edge and looked over into the
dark, gurgling water. Up above lay q
faint ripple of silver. Here, also. she
could see the moon almost at the
zenith, and a few pickering stars.
A trifle of courage and renewal Of
hope now came. Her face and hands
were scratched and bleeding, clothing
torn, feet and legs black with mud.
But these things she neither noticed
nor felt-only that blessed bridge of
logs that gave her safety, and the
moon that babe her hope.
Then she began to count her
chances. This landmark told her that
five miles of her desperate journey
had been covered and she was still
alive. She began to calculate. How
soon would her escape be discovered,
and who would pursue her? Only
Pete. her purchaser, she felt sure. and
there was possible chance that he
might return to his cabin before doing
so. Or perhaps he might sleep late,
and thus give her one or two hours
more of time.
And now cheered by this trifiing
hope and lessening sense of danger,
her past life came back. Her child

upon the ethereal silvered view. away
to the right she saw the dark opening
into the old tote road. Up this they
had brought her, eight years before.
Never since had she traversed It; and
yet, as she looked at 1t now, an in
spiration born of her fathers sneer
came to her.
1t was a desperate chance. fool
hardy step-a journey SO appalling, so
almost hopeless, she might well hest
tate; and yet, escape that way was
her one chance. Only moment longer
she waited, then gathering her few be-
longings-a pair of old shoes, the moe
casins Old Tomah had given her, a
skirt and jack: fashioned from Tins
CASTOR garments, fur cap, and soft
felt hat-she thrust them into soiled
pillow-case and crept down the stairs.
Once out, she looked about. listened,
then darted up the hillside, straight
for the tote road entrance. Here she
paused, put on her moccasins, and
hooked back.
The moon. now above the tree-tops,
shone full upon Tins Place, softening
and silvering all its ugliness and all
its squalor. Away to the left stood
Tomah's hut, across the river, shin
ing path bright and rippled.
In spite of the awful dread of her
situation and the years Of her hard,
unpaid, and ofttimes cursed toll. a
pang of regret now came to her. This
was her home, wretched as 1t was.
Here she had at least been fed and
warmed in winters, and here Old To
nah had shown her kindness. Oh. If
he were only in his hut now, that she
might go and waken him softly, and
beg him to take her in his canoe and
speed down the river!
But no! only her own desperate

courage would now avail, and realizing
that this look upon Tins Place was
the last one, she turned and fed down
the path. Sixty miles of stony, BUSH
encountered, brier-grown, seldom-trav-
eled road lay ahead of her! Sixty
miles through the somber silence and
persistent menace of a wilderness,
peopled only by notwithstanding crea-
lures. yellow-eyed and sharp-fanged!
With only sickening, soul-nause-
ating fate awaiting her at Tins Place,
and her sole escape this almost insane
flight. she sped on. The faint, spectral
riffs of moonlight through interlaced
FIR and spruce as often deceived as aid
ed her; bending boughs whipped her,
bushes and logs tripped her, sharp
stones and pointed sticks bit her;
she hurried over hillocks. wallowed
through sloughs and dashed into tan
giles of briers, needless of all except
her one mad impulse to escape.
Soon the ever present menace Of a
wilderness assailed her,-the yowl Of
a wildcat close at hand; in a swamp,
the sharp bark of wolf; on a hillside
above her. the boot of an owl; and
when after two hours of this desper-
ate fight had exhausted her and she
was forced to halt, strange creeping.
crawling things seemed all about.

ing; the drinking, swearing, singing,
at all hours Of the night, her constant
fear of them and wonder who they
were and why they came There were
other features of this disturbed life:
frequent quarrels between her father
and mother; curses, tears, and some
times blows. until at last after a night
more hideous than any other her
mother had taken her and fed. Then
came long journey TO another village
and new life of peace and quietness.
Here 1t was all so different-no red
shirted men to be afraid of, no loud
voiced women drinking with them.
She became acquainted with other
children Of her own age, was sent to
school and taken to church. Here,
also. her mother began to smile once
more. and look content. For two years,
and the only ones Chip cared to recall,
she had been happy schoolgirl, and

all. OF that she never wished to think.

The one friend life held, her mother,
had been brought home. wounded to
death amid the whirring wheels of the
mill where she worked: there were q
few hours OF agonized dread as her
life .ebbed away, whisper or two Of
love and longing, and then the sad
farewell made doubly awful by her
fathers frowning face and harsh voice.
At its ending. and in spite of her fears
and tears, she was now borne away by
him. For days they journeyed deeper
and deeper into vast wilderness, to

ing Possibility of Asiatie Beans.


This is q subject that is taxing the
MINIS of the most experienced agri-
culturists In the country today. For
years something to take the place of
the cowpea has been exploited with
more or less success. The velvet bean
and the soy bean have found place
in the farm world, but owing to nat
ural restrictions, especially with vel
vet beans. they have not spread out as
they should. Now the cowpea has
SCARED so high in price that it is al
most impossible to obtain a supply
of seed. and consequently farmers are
turning elsewhere.
The United States department of
agriculture has been investigating the
possibilities of some new Asiatic
beans. the Moth and Adzuka beans,
as well as the Newman bean. and 1t
is hoped that they will prove of great
value to the south in general. have
grown some of them this year. and 1t
seems as ifehe Adzuka will come out
all right. for 1t is hardy, grows plenty
of vine and will at last make some
seed, though had my doubts at first.
The spread of the cowpea now ex-
tends from Maine to the Pacific south
ward, and it seems as II there Is no
territorial restrictions on the varieties.
as some of them are suitable to all
localities. This gives rise to the great
demand for seed, and it is doubtful II
the demand can be half way supplied
next year. Consequently 1t is quite
probable that every new leguminous
plant will be given tryout by the
farmers in general. :
Just at present there is a great need
for winter growing leguminous crops.
and they are almost as numerous as
summer crops. excepting the cowpea.
In the Augusta cotton district the le-
guminous plants of the south are
found in greater abundance than any
where else, and in this territory the
first experiments are always made.
carly start was taken In the work, or
to natural advantages. However. the
cowpeat crop of this section is the
greatest of the country. and Augusta
is the leading market of the world.
The numerous new crops are being
grown quite successfully in many To-
calities of the district and lots OF win
ter growers are also being planted.

are coming crops and wherever it is
possible farmers should try them
