One realizes more fully the amount
of moisture necessary to mature the
corn plant and the Importance played
by frequent cultivation during the
growing season when the fact Is
known that from the time of planting
to maturity water escapes from the
soil by evaporation under the most
favorable conditions Of earth mulch
and through the leaves and stem OF
the plant at the rate of 270 pounds OF
water for every pound of dry matter
produced by the plant above ground,
including stalk. leaves and ears. In
the face of these figures one also ap-
preciates the value to a growing field
OF corn from a good soaking rain.

No one suffers more In the end
through the marketing of poor eggs
than the very folks who keep the hens
and take this unsavory product to- the
country store. State pure food laws
have helped a good deal to drive the
egg of uncertain age and questionable
condition OF the market, but there are
still many who make a practice of
making the grand round of the prem
ises once In two or three weeks,
searching under currant bushes and In
deserted managers for eggs, and take
this same product to market The
storekeeper doesn't make the row he
ought to for fear Of losing the custom
er's trade, while the consumer Is long
suffering and does not like to make
trouble for the storekeeper. and thus
the fraud continues. In the aggregate
poultry keepers make nothing. but
rather lose, in the continuation Of this
state of things. as the price paid Is
usually figured on the basis of the loss
to dealer and consumer. Much can be
done to improve the egg business by
stricter enforcement of pure food laws
by more frequent gatherings Of eggs In
hot weather, keeping in cool places
and frequent marketing. lnvestiga
lions which have been conducted show
that the egg producers Of the country
lose hundreds of thousands Of dollars
annually through the careless and slip
shod way in which this important foot
product Is handled. It's about tmt
! for a reform.

made a great mistake, and we ask your
forgiveness"
In the silence the eyes of the two
men met across the table. To Rowland
1t was not the thought that his life was
saved that came with the greatest
force, but the thought of Meleese. the
knowledge that in that hour when all
seemed to be lost she was nearer to him
than ever. He leaned half over the
table, his hands clenched. his eyes
blazing. Jean did not understand, for
he went on quickly.
II know 1t is hard, M'seur. Perhaps
it will be impossible for you to forgive
a thing like this. We have tried to kill
you-kill you by a slow torture, as we
thought you deserved. But think for a
moment, M'seur, of what happened UP
here sixteen years ago this winter. l
have told you how l choked life from
the man-fiend. So I would rave choked
life from you If it had not been for
Meleese. l, too, am guilty. Only six
years ago we knew that the the right
John Howland-the son of the mar l
slew--was in Montreal. and we sent to
seek him this youngest brother. for he
had been a long time at school with
Meleese n knew the ways of the
South better than the others. But he
failed to find him at that time, and it
was only a short while ago that this
brother located you.
"As Our Blessed Lady is my witness,
M'seur, it is not strange that he should
have taken you for the man we sought.
for 1t is singular that you bear him out
like a brother in looks. as l remember
the boy. 1t is true that Francois made
a great error when he sent word to his
brothers suggesting that if either Greg
son or Thorne was put out of the way
you would probably be sent into the
North. I swear by the Virgin that Me
leese knew nothing of this, M'seur.
She knew nothing of the schemes by
which her brothers drove Gregson and
Thorne back into the South. They did
not wish to kill them, IN yet 1t was
necessary to 10 something that you
might replace n of them, M'seur.
They did not make a move alone but
that something happened. Gregson lost
a finger. Thorne was badly hurt-as
you know. Bullets came through their
window at night: With Jackpine in
their employ it was easy to work on
them, and it was not long before they
sent down asking for another man to
replace them"
For the first time a surge of anger
swept through Rowland.
The co~wardsi" he exclaimed. "A
pretty pair. Croisset-to crawl out from
under a trap to let another in at the
top"

when a moment later they reached the
