For yesterday Jack Quinn was OPP

iRo-thirds of his games in Glass IA

perfect jungle of ragweeds, sun

If left for a week or ten days too
long they will have ripened full

part on the ground.
Ditch banks are especially favor
lite places for weeds and If neglect

their seeds in the most favorable
place to have them carried to all
parts of the irrigated fields later

This is the critical time, there

no danger from the fire.
If left until spring, as is common

weeds as they have been scattered

from the flames by a layer OF SOIL.

his hand shook with such palsy that
he feared he might miss. He steeled
himself with the thought that other
men had snuffed out life itself In this
manner. then sat down upon the floor
and cooked the weapon q second time.
He wondered If the shock might, by
any chance, numb him into uncon-
seriousness. If so, he might bleed to
death before assistance arrived. But
he had nothing to do with that. The
only question was, which foot. He re-
garded them both tenderly. They
were nice feet, and had done him
many favors. He loved every toe;
they were almost like innocent chill

advantage of them thus, but-he ad-

firmly against the outside of his left
foot, then closed his eyes. and called
upon his courage. There came
great roaring in his ears.
How long he sat thus waiting for

he opened his eyes at length to find
the foot still intact, and the muzzle
of the weapon pointing directly at his
instep. He altered his aim hurriedly,
