CHAPTER X.

Mr.. HawIey Reveals Himself.
A fragment Of candle. stuck tightly
into the neck of an empty bottle. ap-

ed 1t, the girl returning the lamp to
its former position on the front room
table. Investigation revealed a dozen
cartridges fitting the revolver but no
ammunition was discovered adapted
to the sawed-off gun, which Neb had
already appropriated. and was drag
ging about with him. peering into
each black corner in anxious search.
The two were still busily employed at
this. when to their ears. through the
stiffness of the night. there came the
unexpected noise of splashing in the
water without, and then the sound of
horse tumbling as he struck the
bank. Quick as q flash Keith closed
the intervening door. extinguished the
dim flame Of the candle. and grasping
the startled negro's arm. hushed him
into silence.
Crouching close behind the door,
streamed. yielding slight view of the
interior. the plainsman anxiously
awaited developments. These arrivals
must certainly be some of those con-
nected with the house; there could be
little doubt as to that Nevertheless.

the outer latch clicked. and a single
man stepped within. Immediately clos

girl through the small aperture. but he
heard her quick exclamation.
"Oh. is 1t you? am SO glad!"
The man laughed lightly.

open the intervening door. As the
two stepped into the other apartment
she held the lamp in aid Of their

chateaubrland's Early Struggles.

A new discovery has been made
about Chateaubriand: nothing less
than that he once sold stockings on

was still an officer in the royal serv-
ice. He had debt of honor, amount

debt or blow his brains out

him money. send him 1859 pairs of
stockings, offering him liberal com

something serious must have happen

is anything wronEr"
Keith did not smile nor change
posture. The more he delved into the
matter. the more serious he felt the
situation to be. He knew all those
ranches lying south on the Canadian
and was aware that this was no out
station. No cattle ever came across
that sandy desert unless driven by
rustlers. and no honest purpose could
account for this isolated hut. There
had been frequent robberies along the
trail. and he had overheard tales Of
mysterious disappearances In both
Larned and Carson City. Could 1t be

INDIGNANT AT THE INJUSTICE
Scholars Would Not Stand to See Much-Loved Teacher Not Get
 ting Her Rights.

The following incident told of a pub lie school teacher of cheery manner and marked ability, noted for her sue cess in leading backward or unwilling pupils along the rocky road to knowl- edge.
 In laboring with an especially try ing class she was wont to encourage the members by such confident re- marks as "Of course we can do it!" "Of course we can learn this lesson as well as other people, If we try!" As examination time drew near and the little ones became more nervous, she changed her tune to "Of course we're going to pass!" The children did pass, duly, but, natural pleasure in the un- expected success having evaporated, were sulky and disagreeable almost be- yond belief It took their new teacher long time to get at the root of the misunderstanding, over which they whispered in corners and because of which they treated her like bitter enemy. At last, however, she drew from the most pliable youngster this indignant: fearful admission.
 we ain't a-goin' ter study no more in this darned ole school. Here, we come up from Miss Blanks room, an she stays down there all alone, when she knows so much more than we do. It's plum shame that they didn't let her pass, tool"

 The average per cent. of fat for the entire year was 5476 pounds. Com putting the yield of butter on basis of S5 per cent. according to the rule of the Jersey Cattle club, this COW pro- duced 71212 pounds of butter in the 12 months.
 Her weight was SS0 pounds at the beginning of the test and increased to 960 pounds at the end of the year. The best previous authentical years record for an animal of this age is SIS pounds fat, which is exceeded SIS pounds by the record of Pedro's Es- tella.
 The average amount of grain fed per day was about fourteen pounds, or total of 5,110 pounds during the year, which consisted mostly of corn, oats, bran and oil meal.

The SiIo for DairYmen.

This is the time of year when the dairyman or dairy farmer who owns a silo likes to talk about silage Good silage comes as near being June pas. ture in January as any feed with which the dairyman is familiar It's succulent or juicy nature especially fits it for stimulating the milk flow and keeping the Cow In vigorous health. Probably the most important rule in the profitable dairy is to keep the cows milk flowing as freely as pos sible after the flow has once been started by parturition or calf birth To do this demands right feeding and good care. Silage is also necessary to right feeding. Silage Is a cheap feed to cut up and valuable to use It is grown on the farm. This fact is of importance In this day of high-priced mill feeds.

Diary of a FIy-KiIIer.

Monday-My attention was called last night to a statement that house flies are bearers of disease and should be destroyed as soon as possible. l began my crusade against them this morning It was little discouraging ing, because there was only one fly in the house and it was quite agile. It escaped me. broke two vases and a photograph frame.
 Tuesday, nearly killed three flies this afternoon, but the lamp got in the way. It was $7 lamp.
 Wednesday, saw a fly on the out side of the fly screen and raised the screen so I could hit it. Seventeen flies flew in. I missed it.
 Thursday-There was a sluggish looking fly on the window with closed wings. I stole toward it cautiously, but it flew up just as I let the blow fall. Then I knew it wasn't fly. It was wasp. My nose began to swell at once.
 Friday-My nose Is a sight Drat the flies.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.
