carefully laid and skllfuIIy bated the

Rimington's hand frightened closely on
the evil. lovely gem in his pocket, press
ing it till the facets ate into the flesh.
Heavens what a trip! Even to this
thing that he had found and captured
for Betty's sake!
Sitting there motionless, he seemed to
see the whole scroll of his fate unrolled
before him 1t would be perfectly easy
to trace him-Saxe would have seen to
that: and then there was abundant evid-
ence of motive, If that were needed. His
lips contracted in smile that had no ac-
quaintance with mirth No one who knew
him had any doubt as to his real feelings
regarding the dead man; he had voiced
them often enough He had never made
any secret of his contempt and hatred
not only for Fitzstephen himself, but for
the whole tribe of which he was repre-
sentative-of his intention of repaying
with interest his debt of hatred to the
man who had ruined his brother. 1t had
not been of physical force that he thought
when he spoke to Betty: his punishment
was to have been directed at Fitzsteph-
ems one vulnerable spot-his dull greed of
money.
But now-Rimngton laughed aloud sud
denly, and the sound fell, incredibly harsh
and forlorn. upon the silence of the room.
All the Nboyish bombast of his club talk
would be dragged up against him. 1t
was only week since that he had spoken

The Brand of Cain.
Foraa second Rimington stared after
him, then turning rapidly, walked in the
direction he had indicated. And as he
went a question beat itself out in his
brain, fitting itself to the ring OF his
feet on the flags, like an echo: Was
there already upon him the brand OF
Cain? Else why should this man, who
knew nothing, take him for the murderer
he was not?
The street, long, with disconcerting
twists and turns in 1t, running between
tall, close-ey houses, grim and forbid
ding looking in the 1ickering light of the
street lamps, led Remington surprisingly
to stop at a block OF buildings whose
dimy lighted windows told OF occupa-
ton, that presently he recognized as the
back of Charing Cross hospital.

could imagine with what avidity they

Until that moment the ugly mad events

which had doomed so large and glorious

from his recollection. They required to

how he had boosted to Betty of his power

Educators to Seek New Laws.

Prominent educators of Ohio, meet
ing at the statehouse, discussed with
Simeon D. Fess, president of the An
tioch college and delegate to the con-
stitutionsl convention from Green
county, measures to be worked for in
the convention.
The concensus of opinion was that
Ohio needed state board of educa-
tion, statewide pensions for teachers,
"a revenue to the schools from the
mineral output of the state and the
purchase and reforesting by the state
of thousands of acres of cheap lands
in southern Ohio for the benefit Of
the schools in future years. ~
1t was also suggested that the po-
sition Of school commissioner become
an appointive instead of an elective
Office, the appointment, to be made
either by the proposed new state
board of education or the governor,
and that the term be decreased from
two years to one.
A motion was passed empowering

rem schools and chairman of the meet
ing, to appoint a committee. of five,
composed of himself, State School
Commissioner F. w. Miller and three
others to frame and present to the
constitutional convention the wants of
the educators.

Farm Taxe. Are Leasened.

columbus.-As figured by the state
tax commission on the basis of COM
plete returns from every taxing dis
trict In the state, the average rate Of
taxation on Ohio farming lands this
year is mills. Taxes are now being
paid in the state on this basis.
The average rate is less than one
half what 1t was in former years and
it is estimated that Ohio farmers age
paying from one-fourth to one-half
less taxes than they have paid in the
past.
The total value OF farming lands in
Ohio is s1,67S.5sO.964 as reported to
the commission. The farm acreage
is 25,239,547. The commission has
found that the average valuation Of
an acre OF ground, including farm
buildings, but excluding mineral lands
and unincorporated villages. is $6S.7S.
Last year the average valuation in
cluding unincorporated villages and
mineral lands was S25.25.

Much of the land in this state de-
voted to tho growing of grass, either
for hay or pasture, is hillside land, or
low, poorly drained areas, or land that
for some reason is not we'll adapted
to the growing Of grain and other cul-
tivated crops. Some of this land de-
voted to the growing of grass should
not be plowed and for this reason can
not enter into the rotation. This is
particularly true of hillside fields,
which if plowed and planted to a cul-
tivated crop would likely suffer loss
of the surface soil by washing. In
some such cases, and in other cases,
it Is often desirable to maintain per-
manent meadow or pasture.
Permanent pastures and meadows
are usually regarded by farmers as
supplementary crops and few expect
much if any profit from them. 1t is
the general practice to harvest the
crop, either as hay or by pasturing
each year, forgetting that pasture and
meadow crops must have food the
same as other crops in order to give
good results. Some few farmers who,
first in an experimental way, have ap-
piled barnyard manure or commercial
fertilizers to runout meadows or pas
lures, have been so pleased with the
results and increased yields that they
now consider meadows, and pastures
of equal value to the grain and other
cultivated crops
A number of experiment stations
have received most gratifying results

the value of this practice.
An old meadow or pasture that has
been cropped for several years, If 1t is
not desirable for one reason or anoth

PUBLIC FUNDS AID THE WORK
Gratifying Sign That t4tg People Ars
Awake to VaIuo Of Fight Against
Tuberculosis.

Compared with the expenditures for
tuberculosis work in 1870 those of the
past year are practically the. same in
the aggregated. but they are almost
double those Of 1909. The National
Association for the Study and Preven-
ton Of Tuberculosis, in its third an
nual statement, points out, however,
what 1t considers more significant
than the aggregate expenditures
namely, that the percentage Of money
spent from public funds Is greater in
1911 than ever before, being, 662 per
cent. Of the total. In 1909 only 53.5
per cent. OF the total expenditures
was from public funds, and In 1910
1t had increased to 62:6; per cent, In
1911 over $9l600,OOO OF the $14s500yO yOOe

the reseeding can be done early in the
spring. In reseeding it is often de-
sirable to SOW a mixture of seeds ratn-
er than one variety. A mixture usual
ly gives greater production than seed
time is a surer crop. Soil irregulari-
ties and weather conditions will not
influence the total crop as much as
they would one grass. If for pasture,
such grasses should be selected as will
give a continuous growth throughout
the season. II the soil is poorly drain
ed the mixture should contain a liberal
amount of redtop and alsike clover, as
these crops will grow better than
some Of the other grasses on this kind
of soil.
Many meadows or pastures that are
to be reseeded would respond to an
application of ton Of finely ground
limestone to the surface after disking.
This is particularly true Of those fields
not located on the limestone soils, but
often limestone soils will be greatly
benefited by such an application.
Old meadows and those that are re-
seeded should receive an application
of barnyard manure or commercial fer
tilizer. If barnyard manure is availa-
BILE it should be applied with a spread
er or scattered very thinly by hand.
Manures can be applied in the fall or
during the winter. If manure is not
available, an application of CONNER
cial fertilizer should be made in the
spring about the time the grass is
starting to grow. Since grasses are
not able to use the nitrogen from the
atmosphere, the fertilizer should con-
tain relatively high per cent of nj
trogen. Mr.. Williams, of the Ohio ex-
pertinent station, suggests for timo-
thy meadow on ordinary soil an appli-
cation in the spring of 100 pounds nj
: trate of soda, 100 pounds of acid phos'
phate and 25 pounds of muriate of pot
ash. If the field has been cropped for
q number of years without fertiliEa'
ton a more liberal application should
be made.
