at the windows. listened, and knocked,
and at last concealed himself near
the path, confident that the little old
councillor was still at st. James. For
an hour he waited. From the rear Of
Obadiah's home a narrow footway' led
toward the lake and Nathaniel fol-
lowed It, now as warfly as an animal
in search Of prey. For half a mile

ended at the white sands Of the beach.
In neither direction could Nathaniel
see light. and keeping close in the
shadows Of the trees he made his
way slowly toward st. James. He had

The last word came in a GREATNESS
sob. AS she slipped into the path
that led to st. James she paused for
q moment and called back, In q low
voice: Tell Neil that he must 60 for

She turned again, and Nathaniel
stood like statue. hardly brer thing.
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 Mariol IN
his arms, he had told her Of his love.
and though she had accepted 1t 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? It was to be a 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 filled him; moth.
ing seemed impossible to him now.
Marion would meet him at midnight.
She would 60 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, a half mile or a 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 it 80 suddenly that an ex.
clamation Of surprise fell unguarded
from his lips. There was no light to

CHAPTER vll-cont,nued.

She surrendered to the determine
uon in his voice and they moved SLOW
~ 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 it 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. If he could locate q
small boat on the beach back Of Oba.
diah's: If 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 chung
to his arm in the blackening gloom Of
the forest was evidence of that trust.
She looked into his face anxiously, in
quirtngly when they stopped to listen,
like a child who was sure of q
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 q
little he reached over and as II by &C
cident touched the hand that was ly-
ing On his arm; he dared more after
q 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
bis jcv thought Of the terrible power
that chained this girl to the Mormon
King. He longed to speak words Of
encouragement to her. to instil hope
tn her bosom. to ask her to connde 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. ,t.".

earmaids in South Australia.

South Australia is suffering from a
barmaid famine. Two years ago bar
maids were abolished in that state by
act of parliament. No more could be
legally engaged. but those already en-
ployed could remain on condition that
they register themselves.
There are now only 400 of them left,
and the competition for their serv-
ices is such that their wages have
jumped from Is shillings to s3 q
week. The hotels that have had to
employ barmen report considerable
change for the worse in their receipts.

The stock barn herewith illustrated
was planned for Missouri stockman,
writes J. e. Bridgman In the Orange
Judd Farmer The rather odd shape
was adopted for several reasons:
First. to have all the stock under one
roof; second, to keep each department
separate from the other departments;
third, to reduce to the minimum the
amount Of labor required for feeding
the stock; fourth, to save and eco
nomicaiiy use every pound Of manure.
The floor plan Of the structure is
34x160 feet from east to west, and
34x134 feet from north to south. and
the two els for hogs and sheep are
each 30x65 feet The walls are 10
feet to the caves, and the roof is self
supporting, which leaves a clear
space through the entire loft for
storing hay, etc. All partitions are
eight feet, except over the south front,
where they are 10 feet from the feed
rooms to the south front. This is
done to allow for driving in load
Of hay In stormy weather. There are
Is COW stalls, three bull stalls, two
hospital stalls and three calf pens
The horse barn has eight single stalls
and five large box stalls; the sheep
barn has six sheep pens 11x21 feet
each. and two lamb pens; the hog
house has IL pens ski feet each. also
. feed and killing room 15x29 feet.
The south front has a tool room,
engine room and a watchman's room
Stairways are located In both north
and south ends of the barn. The feed
rooms for horses and cows are so ar
ranged that the silage may be dropped
down the small chute In front Of the
silos. The door of this chute Is al
ways closed. so that no odors may en-
ter the COW barn. A small gas en-
