CHAPTER XIX. Under Cover of Night.

Elwood's horse ardently breasted the hill for home. ;&
 The night was still young. He had travelled fast and it yet wanted two hours to midnight. Time meant everything to him just now; more than he could tell.
 His journey had been without one single alarming incident by the way. The country was wrapt in the perfect calm of an African night which sug- gosted nothing but peace. But it left him quite untouched, He rode hard every yard of the way, for he knew the value of every second sain- ed.
 The house was very quiet. There were no lights. The wide spread of buildings and kraals behind it were sharply outlined in the moonlight, just as were the trees of the location away out on the right. There was no sign of the presence of 'the men" as the Kaffir had called them; there was no sign of anything unusual Yet, as he rode up. the very silence, the absence of even the barking of the watchful farm-dogs conveyed a portend of coming storm.
 He paused at the stoep fronting the house. but, did not dismount. He listened. not with the expectation of hearing anything, but as a man will listen who is aware that he is in the midst of dangers. Then he passed round to the kraals and outbuildings. The kitchen-quarters as he passed them were wrapped in deathly sil- ence, yet all seemed to be in perfect order. He was satisfied that what ever was to happen, Saturdag had Loyalty carried out his orders, and that he was in time.
 The kraals, too, were empty. The wagon-sheds were just as usual, ex- cept that the spring wagon was not there. An inspection of the stables revealed the forethought of those who had left before his return. Mary's own horse was within. ready for use.
 For the moment he had finished with the farm. His way now took him towards the location, and as he rode every faculty was alert and straining to detect the presence of the enemy,s The village was undis- turbed. Once only as he made his way through the labyrinth of trees and kraals did a dog give tongue at the sight of him. He passed on swiftly. silently, and listened acute ly as other dogs took up the alarm. But no human being stirred.
 He came to the house of the mis- sionary. Here again was no sign of life. He knew that it was empty, and passed on towards the kraals of the old chief, Montsoia. and reused him and his headmen up for a long palaver.
 Midnight came and passed. The moon was waning, its light becoming less silvery and more yellow as the denser atmosphere intervened, FL wood emerged from the shadow of the trees For some distance he kept close in to the outskirts of the will lage. Then, from the nearest point to his house, he cut across the open and reached the stoep. For moment he sat thinking, then he passed round to the kraals and hitehed his horse to the back of one of the build ings in a dark angle where it's pres ence would be difficult to detect, and again made his way into the house. He passed straight into the sitting room, and saw with satisfaction that

Ten Rounds Popular Limit.
Fans Say Bouts Are Faster

With New York city and its nifty
clubs providing battles of ten rounds
duration, many other cities In the
country are following In Gotham's
footsteps, SO that ten rounds now
seem to be the proper distance to
travel. The unbiased swear by the
distance and think that It is the prop
er limit for all glove contests. With
evenly matched men they declare
that a contest of ten rounds Is much
faster than one OF Is or 20 rounds
duration.
They contend that the strength of
the men begin to peter out after they
have gone over. the ten-round limit
and that the contests at this point
are dull. Thirty minutes of actual
lighting In the final battle of series
Is enough to satisfy the craving of
the most enthusiastic followers of the
sport and the Indications are that at
no distant date, contests of this length
will be permitted everywhere. In
several states, the law now limits
bouts to this length.
There are several 10-round matches
slated to take place this week, but
the one which Is attracting most in
terest is that between AID Wolgast
and Knockout Brown, In New York
Friday night This team met In a six
round battle a few weeks ago In Phil
adelphia, and nearly every writer who
saw the contest scored the great

est number Of points for Brown.
This time they will battle 10 rounds.
The distance IL better adapted to VOL
CASTS style. The long journey suits
him better, but 10 rounds Is hardly
sufficient for him to show any great
superiority over the newspaper light
weight champion, Knockout Brown.
However, the four extra rounds that
Valentine will have to mix things with
Wolgast may not do him great deal
OF good. Adolph may land one OF
these short hooks on the champion
"can kicker" of Harlem in one of the
periods.
AS an attraction for the National
Sporting club, IL overshadows any
thing in the pubilistic line that could
be offered In New York at present.
The sports of Gotham are wild over
Brown. He is the best performer, SO
they say, that they have had since
the days of Terry McGovern and
George McFadden, and that Is certain
ly saying lot for Brown.
Boston will be well represented. A
big delegation will leave the Hub,
Friday morning. Philadelphia, too,
will send a few over, for the bout at
OBriens was so good that II left the
Philadelphia sports in a condition for
more of the same sort of boxing. In
view of this 1t is believed that a few
hundred of the dyed-in-the-wool sports
will make the trip to New York.

tinued by the use Of a harrow. After
that It may be well to grow crimson
clover between the rows. Always keep
the land free Of weeds.
All live stock except chickens
should be kept from the trees for at
least three years.
Some OF the trees will be crooked,

Many of the trees will be 10 feet
high and perhaps two inches In diam
eter at the base at the end Of the sec
ond season in the grove. At the end
OF 10 years they will be big enough
to make from one to three posts each.
Then the grove should be thinned.

The idea of growing trees as farm

corn or turnips-appeals to the aver
age mind as being good philanthropy
perhaps, but poor business.

oaks that from little acorns grow. II
take $50 years for a white oak to
grow a decent sized log. But there
are oaks that grow as though they
had all eternity to get there In. and
then there are catalpas.
The catalpa will develop into a re-
spectacle tree In ten years. Incident
ally Il makes a much better fence post
than the best oak. And the catalpa
does make the very finest kind or
