CHAPTER xI.-Continued.

After a time a dark rim loomed
slowly I'D out of the sea. 1t was land,
half a mile or so away. Nathaniel sat
up with fresh interest, and as they
drew nearer Jeekum rose to his feet
and gazed long and steadily in both
directions along the coast. When he
returned to his seat the boats course
was changed. A few minutes later
the bow grated upon sand. Still voice
less as specters the guards leaped
ashore and Neil reused himself to fol-
low them, climbing over the gun
vale like a sick man. Nathaniel was
close at his heels. With a growing
sense Of horror he saw two ghostly
stakes thrusting themselves out of the
beach dozen PAGES away. He looked
beyond them. AS far as he could see
there was sand-nothing but sand, as
white as paper, scintillating in bill
lion flashing needle-points in the star
light. Instinctively he guessed what
the stakes were for, and walked to-
ward them with the blood turning cold
in his veins. Neil was before him and
stopped at the first stake, making no
effort to lift his eyes as Nathaniel
strobe past him. At the second, a
dozen feet beyond, Nathaniers two
guards halted, and placed him with
his back to the post. Two minutes
later, bound hand and foot to the
stake. he shifted his head so that he
could look at his companion.
Neil was similarly fastened, with
his face turned partly toward him.
There was no change in his attitude.
His head hung weakly upon his chest,
as If he had tainted.
What did it mean?
Suddenly every nerve in Nathaniers
body leaped into excited action.
The guards were entering their
boat, The last man was showing 1t
off-they were rowing away! His
throbbing muscles seemed ready to
burst their bonds. The boat became
indistinct in the starry gloom-a
mere shadow-and faded in the dis
lance. The sound of oars became
fainter and fainter. Then, after lit
tie, there was waited back to him
from far out in the lake mans voice
the wild snatch of a song. The Nor
mons were gone! They were not to
be shot! They were not
A voice spoke to him, startling him
so that he would have cried out If 1t
had not been for the cloth that gagged
him. 1t was Neil, speaking coolly,
laughingly.
How are you, Nat?"
Nathaniels staring eyes revealed
his establishment He could see Neil
laughing at him as though it was an
unusually humorous joke in which
they were playing part.
Lord, but this IS a funny mess"
he chuckled. Here am l, able and
willing to falkland there you are, as
dumb as a mummy, and looking for
all the world as If you'd seen ghost!
What's the matter? Aren't you glad
we're not going to be shot,"
Nathaniel nodded.
The others voice became suddenly
sober.
This Is worse than the other, Nat.
It's what we call the Straight Death
Unless something turns up between
now and tomorrow morning. or a little
later. We'll be as dead as though they

FARMERS, ATTENTION!

When were your house, barn and farm buildings painted? All building material is much higher than a few years ago, and the tendency is for it to advance. It behooves us to use paint and save our woodwork.
 You can apply the paint your self and make a good job. The important thing is to get good paint and rub it we'll into the wood.
 If for some reason you cannot get paint. th9n by all means use whitewash. You will not regret it when you see the result.
 Have you the convenlences around your house;you should and can have? Your wife and daughter will appreciate several handy things that you can make around the house, and 1t will save them.
 Do you take good farm papers? You should have at least one Southern farm paper, one live stock paper, and one poultry paper commercial Appeal.

SEED SELECTING

'The Sins of the Father are visited upon the children even unto the third and fourth gene ration. This is especially ap- plicable in the case of cotton and corn. Get your cotton seed from the leavings at the gin and scoop your seed corn from the leavings in the crib, and the Biz blical Adage will most certainly be fulfilled. For the amount of time and labor involved, seed se- lection is the most profitable of the farmers work.
 The question of cotton seed se- lection is very important just now because of the Boll-weevil. The cotton belt will suffer very materially unless earlier and bet ter cotton and hardier varieties of cotton are quickly developed.
 An early fruiting and early maturing variety should be selec- ted. TThe plant should not have too large leaves, should be sturdy or stocky built. It should be wig orous and have plenty of fruit limbs on the lower half. The joints of the fruit limbs and of the stalk S h houl d be short. The bolls should be large and storm resisting and the lint should represent at least 33 1-3 per cent of the cotton.
 After the stalks have been se- lected. then during picking sea- son be careful to select seed cot ton from these St al s. The choicest bolls from near the mid dle of the stalk should be select ed. Do not select it from the top as they tend to mature late. Do not select from near the ground since these boIls absorb too much moisture and consequently do not have quite as much vitality and germinating power.
 After you have picked your seed cotton, put in a dry place. By payment of a small sum in addition to the regular ginning price special attention in ginning your seed cotton may be secured.
 Do not forget the corn seed se- lection, From the best stalks se- lect the best ears. Put these away by themselves in some dry place. Lewis E. Hutchins,

The Golden Apple.
Of the Magic Island

<A Ut Of the window could be s@n the orchard with its russell apples
"a shining like gold in the light of the setting sun.
1T looks ike the garden OF the Hespendes" said daddy softly
as he took the arm chair by the window.
"Was that a good garden fol- q story. daddyT asked Evelyn and jack TT
1t was we would Ike to hear about It"
1.-THE garden of Hespertdes was the srangest garden in the world, and o.
old Greeks, who had fairy tas about everything
This garden Of the Hesperdes vas said to be in the isle o, the Blessed,
a make believe land where the Greeks put anything they were not surea about
The isle Of the Blessed they aid "a of toward the setting sn somewhere
in the vast ocean that stretched away to nobody then knew where but which
Columbus afterward crossed to find America
I'm the garden Of Hesperdes grew the golden apples which according s0
the Greek story, the goddess Juno had been given By her mother
These apples were magical fruit which grew IN the most beautiful trees
you n think of. The apples were watched by the daughters of the strong
giant Atlas Atlas had offended the gods, 80 the Greeks said and as a pun
ishment was forced to hold up the sky 4 his shoulders.
Not only because Of the value of the golden apples, but also because they
we're supposed to bring wonderful good fortune to their owner, many persons
tried to End the garden of Eespa4des and take away the shining fruit from
the strong and watchful ladies, whose task a made easier by the aid OF
the seepIess and fierce dragon Ladon.
mo n had ever been able to get those apples until Hercules, that strong
Greek hero. who was said to have done 50 many amazing things, obtained
them Hercules was ordered to get some Of the apples of Hespeddes for the
king for whom he vas forced to work. When the task was given him Her
made up his mind that the best way TO do was to askF Father Atlas to
get SOL of the apples from his daughters
Hercules told Atlas be would bold up the SKY while he ws gone TO the
garden. Very glad II a little vacation Of this sort Atlas Willingly agreed to
get the apples, OF course his daughters readily gave the fruit to their father
Since then, though many have sought no has ever found the golden apples
of Hespertdes, and Il o since Hercules seens to have been strong enough

Politeness a Valuable Cult.

If regarded from no other point OF
view than as IN asset in journey1ng
through life, politeness and the observ-
ance Of small courtesies will be found
a very valuable cult.
True, the clustering, pushing man or
woman makes a way Of its sort, but If
closely observed neither can very readt-
ly come back another time with any
success. Aggressiveness is often need
ed, but impoliteness never. When 1t
is necessary to emphasize even that
may be done with dignity and q per-
fectly polite manner, carrying weight
far better than arrogance and rudeness
ever can
Many there are who think and say
that with some people to- be polite
leaves the impression of cowaraice,
but the we'll bred man or woman knows
better. They know that courtesy does
not mean to be afraid of anything
or anybody, and no mistake is possible
The courteous woman has always
the refuge of silence or, perhaps, the
privilege of sarcasm, while the polite
man can defend himself with his fists
IL need be, yet help his adversary up
with oil the courtesy Of a friend, there
by making a friend Of him indeed.
