tain Their Freshness and Flavor.
Various means are resOrted to for
keeping apples until late In the spring
so they will retain their freshness.
Some fruit growers pack them In dry
sand in barrels, placing about six inch
es OF dry sand on the bottom. then
layer of apples. and so on until the
barrel is full, then head 1t up and bury
the apples.
The apples keep well when packed
in this way and come out in good con
dition, but lose their flavor after they
are exposed to the air.
Another method Is to gather sawdust
and kiln dry 1t. Fill barrel with saw
dust and apples the same as with sand.
When packed in this way the apples
partake Of the wood flavor. and this
proves serious drawback to their sale
In the spring.
The apples that keep the best and
give the best satisfaction are those put
into barrels with no filling whatever
the barrels headed and buried In dry

Culled Fresh From the Farm
THE ATTRIBuTEsl OF A
GOOD FARMER.

The attributes of good farm
er are these: The ability to make
a good and comfortable living
, on the land, to rear a family
carefully and well, to be of good
service to the community and to
leave the farm more productive
than when taken. To be a good
farmer In this sense Will be
much more to ones credit than
merely to be millionaire. 1t Is
worth any mans time to leave
a piece of land more productive
than when he found 1t as a con-
thbltion to the welfare of So
ciety. This constitutes the very
best conservation Of natural re-
sources.--L. III. Bailey. 2

Effect Of Grain on Land.

The question is sometimes asked.
(which is harder on land, winter rye
or barley?" Some assert that rye Is
harder on account of a closer growth.
The Dakota station gives the following
amounts of fertilizer ingredients taken
out Of the soil by rye and barley re-
spectively: Rye. 1871 per cent nitrogen.
SO per cent phosphoric acid and 5.S
per cent potash; barley, 1872 per cent
nitrogen, 10 per cent phosphoric acid
and 4.S per cent potash. showing lit
tie difference In the amounts. Rye has
the disadvantage Of often leaving In
the soil seed enough to bring In a con-
siderable volunteer crop. n

THE WORLDS UNREST
The news OF the day points to one
fact: Throughout the world Is a gen.
eral condition Of unrest. New social
and political forces are appearing In
many lands. The labor situation is
uneasy, especially in Europe.
The most striking evidence OF the
world unrest Is the revolution In Chi
ma. Mankind found difficulty In cred
iting the reports that 1t was the serious
purpose Of the insurgents to change
the oldest and In many aspects the
most despotic empire on earth into
a republic. The present insurrection
started In Wuchang, which was speed
fly captured by the revolutionists. 1t
then spread across the river to Han
kow. near which city the government
forces were defeated in the first arm
ed clash with the rebels. Other cities
and provinces fell into the hands OF
the insurgents until all central China
was involved, and then news came OF
uprisings In the north. The move
ment Is aimed ut the Manchu dynasty,
which has reigned nearly 800 years.
Manchus have been slain all over the
empire. Fortunately the foreign resi-
dents were protected in the early part
of the revolution, thus rendering for
eign Intervention improbable. In the
midst Of the insurrection the new Chi
nese national assembly met, and large
section Of this body reflected the pop
ular disaffection toward the Manchu
regime.

CHAPTER XIII.
ON IT WAS WRITTEN

ON 1T WAS WRITTEN
NWEETWATER'S nights rest had
~ seemed natural enough all
through the lengthy conference,
Dut half hour later any one who
knew him well would have seen at
first glance that his spirits were no
longer at par.
When at 2 o'clock he entered the
clubhouse grounds 1t was without
buoyancy or any of the natural ami
nation with which he usually went
about his work. He wandered down
on the golf links. Taking out his
watch. he satisfied himself that he
had time for an experiment and i'm
mediately started for Cuthbert road.
An hour later he came wandering back
on a different line. He looked soured,
disappointed. When near the building
again he cast his eye over its rear
and gazed long and earnestly at the
window which had been pointed out
to him as the one from which q DOS
sible light had shOne forth that night.
There were no trees on this side of
the house-only vines. But the vines
were bare of leaves and offered no
obstruction to his view. "If there had
been light in that window any one
leaving this house by the rear would
have seen it unless he had been drunk
br a fool" muttered Sweetwater in
contemptuous comment to himself
Arthur Cumberlands story is one lie.
I'll take the district attorneys sug-
gestion and return to New York to-
night. My works done here
Yet he hung about the links for a
long time and finally ended by enter
ing the house and taking up his stand
beneath the long narrow window Of
the closet overlooking the golf links.
With chin resting on his arms, he
stared out over the sill and sought
from the space before him and from
the intricacies of his own mind the
hint he lacked to make this present
solution of the case satisfactory to
all his instincts.
What was that he saw in the vines
not on the snow of the ground, but
halfway up In the tangle of small
branches clinglng close to the stone OF
the lower story, just beneath this win
dow?
He surely could see-something that
glistened, something that could only
have got there by falling from this
window. Could he reach it? No; he
would have to climb up from below
to do that. Well, that was easy
enough.
With the thought, he at once rushed
from the room. In another minute he
was beneath that window; had climb
ed, pulled, pushed his way up; had
found the little pocket of netted vines
observable from above; had thrust in
his fingers and worked small object
out; had looked at it, uttered an ex-
clamation curious in its mixture Of

erents. giving no evidence OF having
noted anything peculiar in my move
ment-Clifton went evenly on. pouring
into my astonished ears the whole long
story of the detectives Investigations.
lnstinctively | did not feel as GER
tain Of Arthur guilt as Clifton did.
| knew Arthur even better than | did
his sisters. He was as full of faults
and as lacking in amiable and reliable

The episode of the ring confused me.

with awe. with which this boy con-
templated his sister when his own
glass fell from his nerveless fingers. My
own heart was not in the business-it
was on the elopement | had planned
but could not help seeing what /
have just mentioned, and 1t recurred
TO me now with fatal distinctness. The
awe was as great as the sullenness.
Did that offer a good foundation for
crime? ! disliked Arthur. | had no
use for the BOY. and l wished with all
my heart to detect guilt in his actions
rather than in those of the woman

This was brought about by the
persistence of Sweetwater. He seems
to have an instinct for things. He
was leaning out of the window at the
rear of the clubhouse-the window of
that small room where your sisters
coat was found-and he saw, caught
in the vines beneath, little bottle,

Under the fear of betraying my

was In an extraordinary position my

struck me as the absolute truth. Car

without doubt. had crossed the links

trated deeply and yet more deeply into
my mind | shrank inexpressibly from
the renewed mental struggle into
which it plunged me. To have suf

arrest-had certainly been hard, but it
was nothing to beholding another in

position and Carmel's by what had
considered totally harmless subter-
fuge.
Forced by doubt to open my eyes, l
met Clifton's full look turned watch
fully on me. The result was calm
ing. Even to my apprehensive gaze it
betrayed no new enlightenment. My
struggle had been all within. No to-
ken of it had reached him.
This he showed still more plainly
when he spoke.
"There will be close sitting of evil
dence at the inquest. You will not
enjoy this, but the situation. hard as
1t may prove. has certainly improved
so far as you are concerned. That
should hasten your convalescence."
poor Arthur burst from my lips.
and the cry was echoed in my heart.
"What sort of man would you make
him out to be when you accuse him
Of robbing the wine vault on top Of
a murderous assault on his sister?'

Arthur Cumberland is selfish. unre-

distrust.
