CHAPTER Ix.-contlnued.


He felt the dash of the water in his
face and 1t put new life into him.
Somebody had raised him to sitting
posture and was supporting him there
while second person bound a cloth
about his head. He opened his eyes
and the light of day shot into them
like a singing, burning charge of
needle-points. and he closed them
again with sharp cry of pain That
seconds glance had shown him that
it was a woman who was binding his
head. He had not seen her face. Be-
yond her he had caught half-formed
vision of many people and the glisten-
ing edge of the sea, and as he lay with
closed eyes the murmur of voices
came to him. The support at his back
was taken away, slowly, as If the per-
son who held him feared that he
would fall. Nathaniel stiffened him
self to show his returning strength
and opened his eyes again This time
the pain was not so great. A few
yards away he saw group Of people
and among them were women; still
farther away, so far that his brain
grew dizzy as he looked, there was a
black moving crowd. He was among
the wounded The Mormon women
were here. Down there along the
shore-among the dead-had assem-
bled the population of st. James.
A strange sickness overpowered him
and he sank back against his sup
porter. cool hand passed over his
face. 1t was soothing, gentle touch
the hand of the woman. He felt
the sweep of soft hair against his
cheek-a breath whispering in his
ear
You will be better soon."
His heart stood still.
you will be better"
Against his rough cheek there fell
the soft pressure of womans lips.
Nathaniel pulled himself erect,
every drop of blood in him striving
for the mastery of his body. his vision,
his strength. He tried to turn, but
strong arms seized him from behind.
A mans voice spoke to him, mans
strength held him. In an agony of APP
peal Marion's name burst from his
lips.
"Sh-h-!" warned the voice behind
him. Are you crazy?"
The arms relaxed their hold and
Nathaniel dragged himself to his
knees. The woman was gone. AS far
as he could see there we're people
scores of them. hundreds Of them
multiplied into thousands and millions
as he looked, until there was only a
black cloud about him. He staggered
to his feet and strong hand kept him
from falling while his brain slowly
cleared. The millions and thousands
and hundreds of people dissolved
themselves into the day until only
handful was left where he had seen
multltudes. He turned his face weak
ly to the man beside him.
Where did she go?" he asked.
1t was boyish face into which his
pleading eyes gazed, face white with
the strain of battle, Redeemed little
on one cheek with smear of blood,
and there was a startled. frightened
look in 1t that did not come of the
strife that had passed.
Who? What are you talking
about7"
THE woman" whispered Nathaniel.
1.-THE -Marion-who kissed
me"
The young fellows hand gripped his
arm in a sudden fierce clutch.
You've been dreaming" he ex-
cloimed in threatening voice. Shut

are using the newspapers, not once

Alluring Seed CataIogs.

Seed catalogs are now being eag-
erly scanned by people who. have ten
square feet or more Of land In which
to make a garden. One looks with
undilute.d admiration and wonder at
the colored plates on which flowers,
fruit and vegetables Of gigantic size
are allurinGly portrayed. Undis-
mayed by former failures there is
scarcely an amateur gardener but
fondly hopes and believes at the bud
ding of each springtlme, that he is
going to raise asters, pansies, sweet
peas, strawberries, tomatoes, and
every other kind of plant that will
equal in size and appearance the
specimens depicted on colored
plates of the catalog. Of course he
will fail, he will have sharp reali-
zation thae there is great difference
between the actual and the ideal.
But for all that he will get lots of
JOY and valuable experience out of
his efforts. He will sometimes Z
the sun rise in the morning, which
is something very few people do. He
will also get an abundance Of fresh
air, good appetite, better health
and a fascinating knowledge of ma
ture as revealed in plant life. De-
sides this the ideal colored pictures
in the catalog are after all real
spur to achievement. SO get you a
catalog ond go to work. You may
not have great success In raising
plants and flowers, but you will get
something you need just as much,
good, wholesome exercise and a sun
bath occasionally.

The Problem and Solution.

If the problem Of living is in the
city its solution Is in the country,
because there the conditions Of life
are easier than in the city with Its
eongested population and acute
struggle for existence. For all this
it is true that for the few the city
has large prizes in the shape OF
large incomes and business successes
that the country cannot offer. This
fact and the s;lamor of city life are
responsible for the ever swelling
stream from the country to the city.
Thousands Of young men and wo.
men are ready every year to ex-
change the solid comic of rural
life for the city with its far harder
and more trying conditions Of life.
This is no exaggeration. Take at
random any given number Of people
from both city and country and II
will be found that those from the
country are better fed, better clad
better housed and get more Of the
real enjoyment and content Of life
than those from the city.
This but emphasizes the fact that
the solution is to be found in the
country. It must be by depicting
the congesteai multitude Of consum-
ers to replenish the ranks of pro-
ducers. In some way people have
got to be converted to the truth that
country life has advantages Of living
for the rank and file that the city
does not have, and that there Is q
moral and physical wholesomeness
unknown In the crowded haunts OF
men. .!..!5.:3.i .5i Z, :..< - :.,sa
One way by which that may be
done is fer the farmer and his fam
lily to have, in the best sense Of the
term, a good conceit Of themselves
Not unoften there Is q disposition
among young people In the country
to feel some sort Of inferiority Of
position, especially in the presence
of their friends from the city. That
is mistake, for while there may
not be in the country as much of the
veneer of social polish there is usu-
ally more solid worth and standing
Any feeling; of .inferiorlty should give
way to a wholesome pride in the
farm and It's advantages.
