The cost of a team of Percheron brood
mares in foal and Weighing 1,4O0 to l 600
pounds laid down in your county will
Vary widely with the breeding of the
animals. You do not state whether you
desire to purchase grade animals or not
A team of grade mares will cost you
probably $500 to $500 At least $50 fthis
would be for freight. 1t Is possible to buy
animals of less satisfactory breeding and
quality for less sum, but horses of
good type are high and difficult to find
and there is a very strong demand for
grade mares of the character you seek
Pure-bred animals of the class mentioned
would probably cost you from 500 to
$1,000 In purchasing Percheron brood
mares you should not hesitate to spend
500 to $500 more IL you can secure supe-
rior excellence in the individuals bought.
The rental which you should charge for
shredder and husker will depend
good deal on the size of the machine.
Where an extra large type is used and
operated by a gasoline engine, you would
probably have to charge from $3.50 to $40
day. medium sized machine could
probably be operated at a reasonable
profit at So per day. The charge to be
made depends much on who supplies the
gasoline and whether the owner of the
machine provides more than one man

CHAPTER XII.

While his crew was whipping the
dory's headwarp round a deck-cleat,
Coast stood In the cockpit OF the
Echo, frowning thoughtfully at the
blurred loom of land to starboard,
whose shadow seemed to fall cold
upon his soul with sinister presage
OF suffering and disaster. For there
was Katherine, there Blackstock, there
mystery, terror. death: and
there he himself must be, for her
sake.
Out of the horror and turmoil OF
the last half-hour he emerged with
conviction and understanding. She
must not be left alone in that place
Of nameless perils. Such doubts as
he had previously entertained no
longer found footing In his thoughts:
1t was settled now; he would stay.
In the emotional stress of his I'M
foreseen encounter with the woman
temporarily he had forgotten the vic
tim of the bowstring But now, bas-
ing his conclusions on what she had
told him of the personnel of the is
land, he saw without doubt that the
man could have been no other than
that Mr.. Power she had named as
Blackstock's assistant Power was
an Irish name: Coast had catalogued
sight.
II the motive for the assassination
remained dark, that Blackstock was
