The LOG Hut in the Mountains.

The Log Hut in the Mountains.
What awakened the woman she did
not know; in all probability it was
the bright sunlight streaming through
the narrow window before her. The
cabin was so placed that the sun did
not strike fairly into the room until
it was some hours high, consequently
she had her long sleep out entirely I'M
disturbed. The man had made no ef-
fort whatever to awaken her. What
ever tasks he had performed since day
break had been so silently accomplish
ed that she had not been aware OF
them.
So soon as he could do so, he had left
the cabin and was now busily engaged
in his daily duties outside the cabin
and beyond earshot. He knew that
sleep was the very best medicine fol
her. and it was best that she should

CHAPTER x.-(Continued.)

Have YOU ever climbed a mountain
early in the morning while it was yet
dark and having gained some domi-
nant crest stood staring at the far
horizon. the empurpled east, while the
dawn came up like thunder" Or
better still, have you ever stood with
in the cold dark reCesses of some
deep valley Of river or pass and
watched the clear light spread its
bars athwart the heavens like nebu-
lous mighty pinions along the light
touched crest of a towering range, I'M
til all of a sudden, with leap almost
Of joy, the great sun blazed in the
high horizon?
You might be born a child of the
dark, and light might scar and burn
your eye balls accustomed to cooler
deeper shades, yet you could no more
turn away from this glory, though you
might hate it, than by mere effort OF
will you could cease to breathe the
air. The shock that you might feel
the sudden surprise, is only family sug
gestive of the emotions in the breast
Of this man.
Once long ago the gentlest and ten
derest of voices called from the dark
to the light the blind And it is given
to modern science and to modern skill
sometimes to emulate that godltke
achievement Perhaps the surprise,
the amazement, the bewilderment, OF
him who having been blind doth now
see, if we can imagine it not having
been in the case ourselves, will be bet
ter guide TO the understanding of this
mans emotion when this woman came
suddenly into his lonely orbit His
eyes were opened although he would
not know it, He fought down his new
consciousness and would have none of
it, Yet it was there. He loved her!
With what joy did Selkirk welcome
the savage sharer of his solitude! Sup
pose she had been woman of his own
race: had she been old, withered, hid
eous he must have loved her on the
instant, much more if she were young
and beautiful The thing was inev-
liable. Such passions are born. God
forbid that we should deny it. In the
busy haunts of men where women are
as plenty as blackberries, to use Fal-

sometimes choose between hundred

ever.
A voice in the night, face in the
street, a whispered word, the touch
of a hand, the answering throb of an
other heart-and behold! two walk to-
gether where before each walked
alone. Sometimes the man or the wom-
an who is born again of love knows it
not, refuses to admit it, refuses to
recognize it, Some birth pain must
awaken the consciousness of the new

HENDRIX BEGINS
ITS BOTH SESSION

With an attendance said to be
much larger than that of last year,
Hendrix College this morning began
its Both annual session. A large
number of out-of-town visitors were
present at the chapel exercises. The
Rev. Mr.. Collet of Dardanelle was
IN charge of the exercises. Claud Mel
son, a former Hendrix student, who
is now attending the University at
Oxford, made short talk urging the
students to better qualify themselves
so that they might become Oxford
scholars. Immediately after the
chapel exercises, the students began
to matriculate, and by noon seventy
five had matrculated. The authori-
ties are unable to predict what the
total enrolment will be. President
Millar announced that regular work
will begin tomorrow.

BREAKING.

Two of the most vital points per
tanning to farm life, farmers to lie
successful will have to put more time
and thought to fall and winter
breaking in order to get the seed bed
broken to the proper depth. We can
not wait until Spring to do our
breaking, but must do it while the
sub-soil is dry, VT not only prepare
a better seed bed by fall and winter
breaking, but we destroy lots of wild
vegetation seed and various insects.
You can't grow a good yield on soil
broken only two or three inches, and
it is almost impossible to break land
much deeper in the Spring on account
of the sub-soil being wet, fall and
winter breaking will enable you to
prepare deep seed bed that will
store way and hold moisture the
deeper and better prepared the seed
bed, the more moisture and the longer
it will hold it.

SEED CORN.

Profitable production of corn de
ponds upon two general factors !:
first, a pure and productive strain of
seed adapted to the locality; second,
the proper treatment of the soil and
cultivation and care of the growing
crop.
There is a great difference in the
adaptibilty and brewing power of
different varieties, and only the best
should be grown Color is no factor
in either yielding power or nutritive
value of corn; therefore, the grower
is justified in selecting the color that
suits his fancy because he is most
likely to succeed with the variety he
likes best.

what sort of a stalk and year we pro-
