fore the voyage was done had contributed
enough to G.. Grahame Ashley to have paid
his passage a good many time over.
But what were they doing out here They
seemed long way off their beat to John.
All of that went through his mind while
the two stood confronting each other; the
woman, whose face he could sec quite plain
ly, with a rather grim, unpleasant smile on
her face.
She got out to help you find It, She said.
Didn't YOU see herr"
Evidently the look in the mans face was
answer enough. "She's gone then. she
went on. "You've lost her! A. Don't do
that, YOU fool
What the man had done lid been to
stride forward and clutch her wrists in a
grip that made her vince.
"You gave her the tip he aid softly.
"You told her to go! Now tel me which
way she went.
you know you're lying" John heard her
say. "You know I've always j,laved fair.
Let go of mel"
The man let go her wrists. 1t won't do
any good, he said, "either to her or YOU
because I'm going to find her now.
John couldn't see his face; but it must
have been the look in it that brought the
wide-eved stare of terror into he woman's

seized him.
"You sha MT" she painted. I'll not let
you do that! 1t wouldnt do you any good
Evidently she was pretty strong; for
though he tried to break away from her. he
didn't Immediately succeed
Il mean it, she went on. Unless YOU
come back quietly with me to the car, II

within quarter of a mile, Aren't YOU sport
enough to take your losses?"
There was no answer to the question. But
the silence and the sudden relaxation of the
mans body told who had won the victory
After a moment she slipped her arm through
his,-a movement queerly like caress. con-
sidering what it had followed. and they
walked away round the curve Of the road
together.
FOR full minute after they had disap-
peared John stood where he was; then,
when he heard the race of the motor and the
clank of the gears as they went in mesh. he
crossed the road and found a little pathway
through the thicket.
At the end of a score of PAGES he stopped,
put the veil into his pocket, got out his pipe,
and lighted a match, cupping it in his hands
against the breeze.
And as he stood there, blinded by the light
before his eyes. he heard little stir in the
shadow before him. He dropped the match
and gave a gasp.
Because, just as it had come once before
out of the dark, he heard voice that was
hardly more than a whisper.
"Oh." it said ooh. I'm glad it vou."

tune the idea OF giving up the veil inspired
him with blind resentment. 1t wouldn't
hurt the man to walk fifty PAGES farther,
ANYWAY SO Tohn STAYED where he was in
the shadow of big tree
Between the thicket from which the man
was emerging and the deep shadow where
John stood was an open place that got the
light from one of the big park lamps, so that
in a second or more John saw his face. Okla
homa, whose wits never went wool gather
ing, instantly reported that the face was a
familiar one; that it was somebody John
knew, though even Oklahoma couldn't place
him.
What interested John more than his pos
sible acquaintance with the stranger was the
impression that someone else was in the road
too at least, that something blacker than
the surrounding shadow was moving there
moving across the road into the enveloplng
dark on the other side The stranger seemed
aware of something too; for he stopped
short in his approach and looked round a
little uncasily, John thought. But that was
after the moving shadow had disappeared
He turned again and came on little
farther. He'd catch sight of John presently
and then John would have to decide whether
to s.u1 the veil into his pocket and pass by,
or whether to come out like an honest man
and give 1t up.
But that moment never came

but the voice had a knife edge. "Stay with
her! Don't lose sight of her.."
At the sound of the voice and the sight of
the two of them together, John knew. 1t
came back to him in a flash that this very
British gentleman and his wife-Ashley
G. Grahame Ashev-that was the name
had crossed with him to Plymouth less than
six weeks before He had fought rather shy
of Mrs. Ashley. But Ashley himself had
been a rather pleasant smokeroom com
panon. inspired with the laudable ambition
to have his game of poker improved by some
of the Americans on board.
John played a pretty good game of poker.
He had grown up in a country where they
profess an authoritative knowledge OF that
game. And it was only hunch that had
prevented him one evening from betting
pretty heavily on a full house. The hunch
was that, for man who professed a total
innocence of poker and had hitherto played
it very badly, G.. Graharne Ashley handled
cards with extraordinary dexteritv.
John had thrown up his hand and played
no more poker the rest of the voyage But
some OF his fellow passengers, he renem-
bered, had gone on with the game, and be-

loss has been sustained.
One hundred and thirteen fires as
great a number if not more, than has
ever been reported, has been reported
by the lookout stations, this year. The
patrol and wardens have been notified
in time to prevent many disastrous
fires, and all, this year. have been
small. and causing comparatively
little loss. The fire at Bingham was
perhaps the largest and most danger
Gus, but was speedily put under con-
troll, the conditions at that time break
ing most favorable. The others have
been discovered in time and nipped in
the bud preventing several disastrous
fires in this way.
The recent rains have extinguished.
without doubt, all the small fires in
progress in the northern woods. The
ground has been thoroughly soaked
and it has rained hard enough to ex-
tinguish any fire that might have been
smouldering beneath the underbrush
and decay.

BROWN TAIL MOTHS.
Pests Not Quite So Thick as Former
Years--May Be Fought Now.

A little pride on the part of the
cities, and the application of a little
water, might aid greatly in the fight
to exterminate the brown tail moth
pest. This declaration was made by
the State Commissioner of Agriculture
j. A. Roberts, in speaking of the in
creasing number of moths that hover
about the arc lights during the nights.
There are not sotmany. this year, as
last, and with a little expense this
number might be greatly reduced. 1t
is noticed that the first of the evening,
the moths are inclined to fly but later
light, and there rest for the re-
mainder of the evening. BY washing
these from their resting places with
water. under pressure. they would fall
to the ground stunned, where they
might be easily killed. In the day
time these moths can be seen in great
numbers, hanging to the leaves of the
trees, and the same remedy might be
applied here.
This time of year is about the time
the moths commence to lay their eggs,
from which hatch the caterpillar,
which really do the damage. About
the middle of August or first of Sep
TENDER, these caterpillars commence
their work of destruction. Later i'll
the season. they form into colonies,
which can be plainly seen curled up
in a leaf during the winter. and at
which time the warfare is waged upon
the pest.
The method of killing the moth
might be devised in several different
ways, and it seems as if the cost of
determination would be cheapened Il
they were killed in the moth stage,
rather than in the colonies during the
winter. when scouting parties are
obliged to cover large territories and
the trees with long handled
cutters clip them from the tree.

bring the results to the class and
work them over according to the in
structions given. They found in every
case that from two to five times more
of certain nutrients were being fed
than could be assimilated to advan-
tage, nearly doubling the cost of the
product The figures showing this
were carried home and with them ra-
tons, figured out by the boys, better
suited to the needs of the cattle. The
parents consented to try the new ra-
tons and at the end of the month the
grain bill was cut in two, with no re-
duetion in the quantity of the milk.
So pleasing were the results OBJ
tanned by this slight experiment that
many of the farmers of Freedom and
adjacent towns have adopted the feed
as their standard.
In the fall, several of the farmers
will undoubtedly attend the school
regularly, studying agriculture, and
to accommodate those who cannot at
tend during the day time. two eve
ming sessions will be held each week
Already several of the best farmers
have requested to be enrolled.
The Oak Grove Seminary situated
in Vassalboro, is another of the see
ondary schools of Maine to realize
that farming is no longer stagnant
but has come to the forefront with
such rapid strides, the past few
years as to necessitate, that in order
to keep its students patronage, it must
carry courses to supply their needs,
so during the past year the course of
agricultural training has been estab-
iished in this school under a compe-
tent instructor. The work here, while
perhaps not so far advanced as that
of Freedom Academy, has neverthe-
less been success
The students here have, so far only
obtained general knowledge and no
effort has been made to cooperate
with the farmers as closely as the
students of Freedom. But in another
year, it is hoped to see one of the
best courses III the State.
Situated as Oak Grove is. in the
midst of fertile farming country on
| the banks of the Kennebec, where ev-
cry possible advantage is offered the
lagrjculturist. this school, if adopting
tho proper methods, should easily
lead the others in its course preparing
boys to become expert farmers.
The State Department of Asricul-
ture. too, has taken great deal of
interest in this course of agricultural
training in secondary schools and has
lett no leaf unturned to aid in the
work
