She. turned again, and Nathaniel
stood like a, statue, hardly breathing
until the sound of her feet had died
away. Then he'walked swiftly up the
foot path that led to Obadiah's. He
forgot his own danger in the excite
ment, that pulsated with every fiber
of his being, forgot his old caution
and the fears that gave birth to it
forgot, everything in those moments
but Marion and his own great happi-
ness. Neil's absence meant nothing to
him now. He had held Marion In
his arms, he had told her of his love,
and though she had accepted it with
gentle unresponsiveness he was
thrilled by the memory of that last
look in her eyes. which had spoken
faith, confidence, and perhaps even
more, What was that something she
would tell him If he got Neil safely
away? 1t was to be reward for his
own loyalty-he knew that, by the
half fearing tremble Of her voice, the
sobbing catch of her breath, the
strange glow in her eyes, With her
brother away she would confide in
him? Would she tell him the secret
of her ,slavedom to Strang? Ma
thaniel was conscious of no madness
In the wild hope that filed him; moth.
ing seemed impossible to him now.
Marion would meet him at midnight.
She would go with him to the boat,
and then-ah, he had solved the prob
lem! He would use no force. He
would tell her that Neil was in his
canoe half mile out from the shore
and that he had promised to leave
the island for good if she would go
out to bid" him good-by. And once
there. half a mile or mile away, he
would tell her that he had lied to her;
and he would give her his heart to
trample upon to prove the love that
had made him do this thing, and then
he would row her to the mainland.
1t was the sight .of Obadiah's cabin
that brought his caution back. He
came upon 1t SO suddenly that an ex-
clamation Of surprise fell unguarded
from his lips. There-twas no light to

CHAPTER vII-contInued.

She surrendered to the determine
ton in his voice and they moved slow
ly along the path. listening for any
sound that might come from ahead of
them. Nathaniel had already formed
his plan Of action. From Marion's
words and the voice in which she had
uttered them he knew that 1t would
be useless for him as 1t had been for
Neil to urge her to fee from the is-
land. There remained but one thing
for him to do. so he fell back upon the
scheme which he. had proposed to
Marion's brother. He realized now
that he, might be compelled to play
the game single-handed unless he
could secure assistance from Obadiah.
His ship and men were in the hands
OF the Mormons: Neil. in his search
for the captured vessel. stood large
chance Of missing him that night, and in
that event Marion's fate would depend
on him alone. II he could locate
small boat on the beach back Of Oba-
diah's; II he could in some way lure
Marion to it He gave an involuntary
shudder at the thought Of using force
upon the girl at his side, at the
thought Of her terror Of those first
few moments. her struggles. her
broken confidence. She believed in
him now. She believed that he loved
her. She trusted him. The warm
soft pressure Of her hand as it clung
TO his arm in the blackening gloom of
the forest was evidence Of that trust.
She looked into his face anxiously. in

like child who was sure OF a
stronger spirit at her side She held
her breath when he held his. she
listened when he listened. her feet fell
with velvet stiffness when he stepped
with caution. Her confidence in him
was like beautiful dream to Ma.
thaniel and he trembled when he pic
tured the destruction Of It. After
little he reached over and as II by ac-
cident touched the hand that was ly-
ing on his arm; he dared more after
a moment. and drew the warm little
fingers into his great strong palm and
held them there. his soul thrilled by
their gentle submissiveness. And then
In another breath there came to still
his JOY thought Of the terrible power
that chained this girl to the Mormon
king. He longed TO speak words OF
announcement to her. to instil hope
In her bosom, to ask her to confide in
him the secret OF the shadow which
hung over her. but the memory Of
what Neil had said to him held his
lips closed.
They had walked in silence for
many minutes when the girl stopped.

A PROFITABLE CROP.
Barley Recommended for Its
Large Yield.

(Notes furnished by the Minnesota
Farmers Institutes.)
It would seem from study of crop
yields in Minnesota for the past ten
years that barley is, all things con-
sidered, one of the most profitable
grain crops grown in the state. The
following figures taken from the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture Year Book for 1907 help to en-
phasize the fact. The average yields
per acre of some of the grain crops in
Minnesota are as follows: barley,
1856 pounds; oats, 1858 pounds; wheat,
1853 pounds, and fax, 594 pounds. The
average market value per acre of
these crops, based on the average
farm price for ten years, is: fax S10.27
barley, $1O.12; oats, 1912, and wheat,
S8.77, which shows that excepting
fax. barley yiels considerably more
in money value per acre than does
any of the other grain crops. -.
From the above it is seen that while
barley yields less bushels per acre
than oats, it yields 1877 pounds per
acre more than oats, 4S7 pounds per
acre more than wheat, and more than
twice as many pounds as flax.
Barley has the advantage over fax
in being good crop for cleaning
land of weeds, and it may often be
fed on the farm at profit over the
market price.
From the standpoint of food value
per acre, it is still farther ahead of the
other crops. Comparing these crops
with bran at $4,000 per ton, the aver
age yields per acre of food value are
as follows; barley, $13.25; oats, 1921;
wheat, $3.50, and fax, $685..
The fact that barley requires a
shorter growing period than the 9TH
er grain crops gives to it many ad-
vantages. 1t may be seeded later,
thus giving longer "seeding time"
It may be harvested earlier thus Civ
ing more time for harvest, and a long
er time for fall pasturing of the stub
BILE fields if one has seeded rape or
clover with the barley. 1t is not well
to pasture newly seeded clover in the
fall if it is to be left for crop the fol-
lowing year. Barley grows so thick
on the ground and so quickly that few
weeds can grow in it, and land may be
treated to destroy weeds either be-
fore seeding barley or after harvest
ing it,
Barley seeded early in the spring on
fall plowed land or on disced corn
stubble is one of the very best nurse
crops with which to seed clover or
timothy.
Barley should receive fair trial on
most farms of the Northwest, espe-
cially where corn is still uncertain.
It costs on the average, IS cents per
cwt. to raise barley, and So cents per
cwt. to raise corn.

place under a tumbler. If all are
dead in six hours, the mixture is
strong enough. If not, make solu-
ton stronger until thirty seconds in
the dip is effective. In dipping sheep,
keep them in the dip for one minute.
To mix, place the dip in the tank
first, then add water; otherwise it
does not always mix uniformly.
When to Dip.-Dip just after shear
ing, then little dip is lost. Results
are better if dipping is deferred until
wool is one-fourth to one-half inch
long, as more dip will be held in the
fleece. If ticks are present at shear
ing time, the entire flock should be
dipped at once before ticks get to the
lambs. Repeat the dipping in ten
days to kill any escaped or newly
hatched insects.
Thoro Work.-After dipping, re-
move sheep from the sheds and yards
in which they were kept. Then any
loose ticks or lice cannot get back on
them.

The Time to Teach Kindness.
(By Ella Wheeler Wilcox

(By Ella Wheeler WllcOX)
The time to begin to teach a child
kindness and sympathy is in the era
die. Say to your children as soon as
they are able to play with toys, "Be
good to your toys; they need love and
kind usage. Let your dollie rest
sometimes, and handle her tenderly.
Your Teddy bear and your hobby
horse are needing your love-"
If your baby stumbles and falls over
chair or rug, instill politeness and
consideration into his plastic mind by
teaching him to apologize. He will be
quite as much amused and distracted
if you say, "Excuse me, Mr.. Rug, or
Madam Chair, for my awkwardness;
I hope have not seriously hurt you, !"
as he will be if you say, "Naughty old
rug, or chair, to hurt baby" and then
proceed to rain blows on the poor, in
offensive object.
Teach your children to address their
toy animals in kind and well-modu-
lated voice instead of loud screech.
You will benefit both the people of to-
day and the animals of tomorrow by
this course.
Tell them the truth-that animals
are very sensitive to noise, that a
horse is timid and loving creative,
and that loud, harsh voice frightens
it and hinders it from doing its duty
or obeying its owner. A low voice
and a gentle hand Will make any
horse, if taken in time, faithful, will
ing and safe.
A horse will do twice the work and
live twice the time in good health, if
it is treated with respect, gratitude
and love by its owner.
Teach this to your children while
they are playing with their toys.
They will never forget it.
The warden Of the Connecticut state
prison is wonderfully good and wise
man. He is student of human ma
ture. He said to visitors one day: "If
a child is properly educated to the age
of ten, no matter what its inheri-
tance, it never becomes a criminal"
He did not mean that children sent
to fine schools, and given tutors and
great advantages, never became Grim
inals. He meant that children, guild
ed in their thoughts and ideas by wise
teachers and parents, should have
right ideas, right feelings and right
desires.
Children should be taught consider
alton of the rights of other creatures.
That sentence includes all the need
ed preventure of crime.

DIPPING SHEEP.
What Kind of Dip to Use and
How to Use It.

(Notes furnished by the Minnesota
Farmers Institutes.)
Sheep are dipped to rid them of ex-
ternal parasites and the scab mites.
Kinds of Dips.-Lime and sulphur
dips are injurious to the wool, because
of the caustic effect they have. To-
baceo and arsenic dips are poisonous,
both to sheep and man and must be
used with great care. "Coal tar"
dips are considered among the best
by experienced sheep men, because
they are effective, poisonous and
do not ordinarily injure the wool.
Testing and Mixing.-All dips
should be tested. Mix one teaspoon
full Of dip to so or IS of water, as per
directions. After loosely Wrapping
few ticks or bed bugs in a very thin
gauze, dip them into the mixture for
thirty seconds. Then remove and

Travelling With Taft.

With the April issue of Human Life
Alfred Henry Lew concludes his pro-
foundly interesting series of articles
entitled "Traveling With Taft"
which began with the December num-
Der.
In this instalment Mr.. Lewis lays
bare some astonishing facts connect
ed with the Utah end of the presi-
dental junket, which are the keys to
much that has been puzzling in the
situation. In Utah the great purpose
was to construct Taft machine. Thus
it was that Reed Smoot and a COM
mittee of his fellow Mormons, more
OR less deeply welded, received Mr..
Taft and conveyed him to their Tab
ernacle, where he spoke, while the
Gentle press, bitterly resentful yet
mindful that he was the guest of their
city, explained that the Mormons had
betrayed his innocent ignorance. This
was shrewd and far seeing move of
the Taft managers. The Mormons
are a power in politics,-just how
powerful and just how and by whom
controlled the average American has
little idea, and this article will prove
an eye opener.
Every Mormon must give one tenth
of his yearly income to the church.
What becomes of this vast income,--
of these yearly tithe born millions?
Here is mighty money power, un-
guessed by the outside world. In
the hands of a few shrewd leaders
accountable to no one, it is sufficient
to give them finger in every West
ern money pie of any size hand in
the affairs of railroads, banks, mines
and manufacturing plants. What
connection has Senator Smoot with
this powerful ecclesiastical machine?
Read and see. Is this why, when the
Mormon church lifts its finger. Mr..
Taft and the Republican party must
take notice? Again, read and see.
