THE FOREST POLICY.
Tree Planting in New England on
 Abandoned Farms.


 Corporations and private citizens throughout New England are begin ming to realize the opportunities which this region offers for profitable forest planting This year about g. 800 acres have been planted in the six New England States by private citizens. In addition, number of water companies have adopted for est policy. The largest plantation of this character, which comprises over 1000 acres, belongs to the Metropoli- tan Water & Sewerage board of Clin- ton, Mass.
 One of the most important phases of reforestation in New England is that of planting abandoned farms and other waste land, which at present is bringing no income. In Massachu- setts this waste land amounts to ten per cent of the total area of the state, while the latest reports in Rhode Is- land shows 22S abandoned farms. It is this type of land which is now be- ing planted. Wealthy men here see good investment, and a number of them have planted tracts of at least 50 acres each this year, with the in- tention of increasing the size of the plantations annually. One owner in Massachusetts who started a white pine plantation of 63 acres this year, expects to plant 50 acres annually for the next ten years, while others in- tend to plant tracts of various sizes ranging upwards to 200 acres apiece next spring.
 White Pine is, of course, the spe- cies most generally planted. but other species which make excellent growth and are being used more and more are Norway spruce, for timber and pulp wood; chestnut for telegraph poles,

A feature of peculiar interest in McClure's Magazine for October, following as 1t does Professor Hugo Munsterberg's article on 'Prohibi- tion and Social Psychology" is a paper by Dr Henry Smith Williams on Alcohol and the Individual" Dr Williams declares that experiments have shown that the effect of alco- hol is everywhere depressive, that it is narcotic, not stimulant, and that its use even in moderated quantities reduces mans working efficiency 10 per cent. General Ku- ropatkin continues his secret history of the Russo-Japanese war, declar- ing that the superior moral force of the Japanese was responsible for the defeat of the Russians; Burton J. Hendrick writes of the battle against the famous Sherman anti. trust law, the measure that for IS years has successfully withstood the attack of combinations of both cap ital and labor; and Ellen Terry tells of the death of Henry Irving, the great actor. who, when asked what he had got out of life, said: Well good cigar, good glass of wine good friends" Another interesting feature is a collection of letters ol Augustus Saint-Gaudens, giving ar intimate view. of the period of the famous scuIptor's great triumph. h fiction there is great ghost story by Perceval Landon; vivid racing story by A. E. Thomas; a charming love story by Temple Bailey; g weird tale of an oriental adventure by H. c. Dwight: stirring western adventure story by George c.

You tested its tone a little later. It seems that you are master of the most difficult of instruments. There was a time, l believe, when the old man was it's master also. He was once, they say, the conductor of an orchestra in San Francisco. Drink and the devil finally brought him down. For three years past he has lived in Smoky Mountain. Nobody knows his name. The town has always called him Old Despair You did him what is perhaps the first real kindness he has ever known at its hands. He has done the only thing he could to requite it."
 Harry had colored painfully as Eel der began to speak. His voice was un- steady as he answered.:
 q appreciate it, am deeply grateful, but 1t is quite impossible that I accept 1t from him."
 You need not hesitate" said the lawyer. "Old Despair needs it no long CT. He died last night in Deylin's dance hall, where he played when he was sober enough for lis lodging. I happened to be near by, and I assure you it was his express wish that give the violin to you"
 Rising. he held out his hand. Good night" he said. T hope your memory will soon return. The town is much in-

posts, ties and lumber; red oak for piles and ties; black locust for fence posts and sugar maple for variety of products.
 It is not only on these tracts of waste land that planting is beginning to play such an important part. The practical farmer in this region now realizes that the cheapest and best way to get the special wood products which he needs on his farm, is by planting the trees. He realizes, too, the protective value of plantations which serve as shelterbelts and wind breaks. Altogether, this region off, fers excellent Opportunities for tree planting.

 Presently he looked at the bunk. clean and springy with fresh out spruce shoots. He went into 1t, knelt down and thrust an arm into the empty space beneath it. He got up hastily.
 What have you done with that?" he demanded, with an angry snarl.
 With what" Harry turned his head as he set two tin plates on the bare table.
 with what was under here."
 "There was nothing there but an old horse skin," said Harry. Tt Is hanging on the side of the cabin"
 With an oath Prendergast flung open the door and went outside. He re-en- tered quickly with the white hide in his arms. wrapped it in blanket and thrust 1t back under the bunk.
 Has any one been here today since you put it out there" he asked quick ly.
 'No," said Harry, surprised. "Why?"
 Prendergast chuckled. The chuckle grew to guffaw. and he sat down, skipping his thigh. Presently he went to the wall, took the chamois skin bag from its hiding place and poured some of its yellow contents into his palm. That's why. Do you remember that, eh?"
 Harry looked at it. Gold dust" he said. q seem to recall that. I am going to begin work in the trench to- morrow There should be more where that came from"
 Prendergast poured the gold back into the bag with cunning look. The other had asked for no share of it. At that moment he decided to say nothing of the evening before, of the girl or the horseback journey, lest Hugh. cudgeling his brains, might re- member he had been offered half.
 There's plenty more where that came from. all right" he said, land I'll teach you again how to get 1t one of these days"
 Prendergast said little during the meal When the table was cleared he lit his pipe and took from shelf a board covered with penciled figures and scrutinized it.
 Hope you remember how to play old sledge?" he said.
 Harry did not move. As they ate he had been wondering how long he codld abide that sinister presence. AS he was about to speak knock came at the cabin door, and Prendergast opened it.
 The visitor Harry recognized in- stantly. It was the man who had called for fair play at the fight before the saloon, who had drawn him into the hotel.
 Fielder carried a bundle under his arm. He nodded curtly to Prender- gast and addressed himself to Harry.
 T am the bearer of a gift from some one in the town" he said. T have been asked to deliver this to you" He put the bundle into the others hands,
 Harry drew up one of the chairs hastily. Please sit down." he said courteously He looked at the bundle curiously. "Et eos dona ferentes." he said slowly. "A gift from some one in the town!"
 A keen surprise flashed into the law yer's glance. "The quotation is clas-

 Harry went out of the cabin. At the door he turned. If there is anything you own here," he said, "take it with you. You needn't be here when come back"
 His fingers shaking with the black rage in his heart Prendergast gath cred his few belongings, rolled them in the white horse skin which he drew from beneath his bunk and wrapped the whole in blanket, He fastened the bundle in pack strap, slung 1t over his shoulder and left the cabin. He settled his burden and went rapid ly down the trail, turning over in his mind his future schemes.
 As it chanced. there was one who saw his vindictive face. Jessica, crouched on the Knob, had seen him come and now depart. pack on back, and guessed that the pair had parted company. Her whole being famed with sympathy. She could see his malignant scowl plainly from where she leaned, screened by the bushes. It terrified her. What had passed be- tween them in the cabin? She left the Knob wondering.
 All that evening she was i'll at ease. At midnight, sleepless, she was look ing out from her bedroom window across the phantom peopled shadows, where on the face of the pale sky the stars trembled like slow tears. Anx- iety and dread were in her heart; a pale phantom of fear seemed lurking in the shadows; the night was full of dread.
