Before Edith could answer, Boola
and a lot more of his wives appeared.
Also many Kafr warriors came from
= their conical huts up and down the
village street
By this time Edith was, of course,
terribly alarmed,
LET me go!" she cried Historically,
as Boola seized her by the hand and
dragged her toward the hut where
dwelt the main body of his harem.
"You mine!" Boola said You like!
You I keep! You fine wife!"
'No, no." Edith protested. mo, let
me go, you brute."
"No," sternly interposed Sandili,
the jealous wife. mo, no: You no
keep her, Boola- You have plenty wife
now Me no like white wife
Eyes" Boola repeated.
And the jealous Sandili gritted her
ivory teeth in rage.
You beast, let go Of me-" Edith now
cried, as Boola tried to thrust her into
his hut. And she fought so hard that
presently Boola was exceeding wroth.
"Seel" he said, turning to his war
riors and showing his arms and hands,
bleeding from little wounds. Her
claws are as the leopard's and her
teeth take hold like the hyena's when
it is compelled to fight I want not
such wife. Get the white man and
then take this white woman and throw
them both together into the pit with
the leopards. We shall have what the
white people call great sport"
And thus it came about that Edith
at last met the wild man, for Doctor
Wayne was now brought into view.
Father" Edith screamed as they
dragged the wild man forward. Faith
er! 1t is I-your Edith"
But the wild man, the man without
fear, was still without reason. He
was still man with clouded memory
of the pasta man whose recollection
of his former self was zero. So he did
not recognize his daughter. He spoke
to her as to a stranger, thus:
Maiden, fear not. They will cast
US both into the pit with the leopards.
But be not afraid. Thou shalt not per-
ish, no more than l. The leopards will
hurt thee not, maiden, for they and
their kinds are my friends"
Edith cIutched him nevertheless in
hysterical fear.
Father" she cried. "Oh, father

to think that you do not know me. Oh,
father, this is terriblei"

INJURED The fends are about to hurl
their hot spears down at the leopards.
But just then a great shouting was
heard beyond the edge of the pit, and
Boola and all the Kafrs fed.
At the top Of the pit Captain Duncan
Jones appeared. With him was Uncle
Steve.

Careful, Edith" her father called

"Not yet, Edith, my child" he1
father retorted. Il must first induce
these animals to return to their lail

''Our Kaflrs are chasing Boola and
his warriors all over the place." Cap
tain Jones called down. You need
have no more fear of Boola Our boys
and the Kafrs employed by the Euro
pean traders whom we met on the trail
will see that Boola gets his. Boola's
wife, Sandin, met US on the trail and
made us hurry here to the rescue

called. You'll distract the attention
Of these beasts if you keep on talking.
Well shoot the beasts one by one,
Captain Jones replied.

Next minute the iron-barred door
was lowered. Doctor Wayne and Edith
were safe from the leopards. Captain

The Wild man stared seemingly into
her very soul Then memory swept
through his brain-an overwhelming
food Of thoughts.
'AIollie." he cried. "You are my
wife, Mollie!"
NO" she corrected, JOY ringing in
her young voice. 4 am Edith-your
daughter Edith"
All this time the Kafirs at the top
of the pit were waiting for the coming
Of BooIa. Boola, at the moment, was
hunting high and low for his favorite
wife, Sandili.
In the pit the wild man, who had so
suddenly regained memory of his past,
was still dazed by the food Of recollec-
tions.
az am Edith. your daughter, the girl
insisted.
Heaven is certainly good to us-my
Edith" Doctor Ware now said. But
stand back. See! Boola has arrived
up there. They arr now opening the
door to let out the leopards.
Slowly the iron-barred door rose
and cut from the inner recess and into
the main pit came six leopards.
Edith f1attened herself against the
wall of the pit in mortal fear, watch
ing her father, who stood between her
and the leopards with his arms uplift-
ed in a commanding gesture.

CHAPTER XVIII.
What Sandili Did.


Doctor Wayne spoke to the leopards
in an authoritative tone. The beasts
halted.
The doctor then knelt and called to
them in caressing tone.
Come, my friends. Come, we will
play together"
Marvel of marvels! The man lay on
his back on the floor Of the pit and
the leopards came to him and purred
loudly and licked his hands, his arms,
his face. And they lay down beside
him and all around him.
But what was Edith's horror now,
when suddenly she heard Boola at the
toy of the pit order his men to build
a fire and heat the iron points of their
assegais wherewith to torment the
leopards and stir them to fury in
which they would rend to death the
white captives.
Father" Edith called. did you
hear? They are going to stab the
leopards with hot spears:
81 heard" her father answered. But
God will still protect Us. I dare not
betray the least fear, or these beasts
will attack US. Stand perfectly still,
Edith-still as statue. Move not so
much as a finger, lest you attract the
attention of these leopards when they
begin to tire Of this play with me-
So the man in tune with the wild

utes-three, four minutes. And then

RECEIVES $5,0O0.Oe
UNDER LEVER ACT
First Semi Annual Installment of Fed
eraI Funds for Agricultural Pur-

Columbia, Sept. 19.-The first
semi-annual installment, amounting
to $5,000,00O, under the Lever agricul-
tural extension act Of May 8, 1914,
was received today by S. T. Carter,
State treasurer. The exact purposes
for which the money is to be eX-
pended has not as yet been explained
to Mr. Carter.
This BILL Mr.. Lever stated after
the bill had been signed by the pres
ident, will provide school for the
farmer, but it will be school which
he can attend without leaving his
work, his home or his family. The
school house will be the farmers
field and the farmer himself will be
the pupil The teacher will be an
expert practical scientist and might
be called a walking professor OF
farming He will go from farm to
farm and study with the farmer his
own individual problems and endea-
ivor to cooperate with the farmer in
the application of scientific knowl-
edge and methods to the cultivation
of the individual farm.
To Aid Farm Work.
zone of the great purposes of this
bill" continued Mr.. Lever, is to
!provide practical suggestions for the
woman in the farm house. She has
never before been specifically recog-
nized in agricultural Legislation, and
I propose in this bill to study her
work in the home and her relations
to the farm and farm life, and to do
everything possible to tighten the
load which she must carry.
1.-THE work will be done through
the land grant colleges OF the States
and the federal department of agri-
culture. The agricultural college will
Ifbe in better condition to understand
the local needs and condition of the
several States than any other organ
ization, and the work will follow the
lines suggested by them. l believe
that the provision of this law prop
erly administered will bring about
an increased production of farm
Iproducts and that the question of an
inadequate food supply will solve
Itself.
81 think been thinking along this
line for years and l have realized
that the farmers problem is the ma
tons problem l have been trying
to find the best way to advance his
prosperity and at the same time to
insure the nation against itself. l
believe that the bill is workable
proposition. The machinery is not
cumbersome, the. purpose is clear
and its administration should be
effective"

CHAPTER XVII.
The Dawn of Reason.

Now Sandili, the jealous wife and
good-hearted black woman, had lis
tened to all this wrangling between
her liege lord and the white girl, and
her jealousy had faded away. And
she had heard the white girls appeal
for her fathers recognition. And San
dihs heart was touched. Wherefore
Sandili made a great resolve. She
formed a plan very distinctly rebel
ious, considering that it had for its
object the thwarting Of Boola's own
plans.
Sandili stole out of the village unob-
served and hurried along the jungle
trail-the trail over which the Euro
pean traders would come that very
day and hour, provided they were to
arrive at the time named by the run
ners who had reached the village as
their advance heralds.
Sandili would meet the traders and
urge them to hasten to the village and
save the white girl from horrible
death in the pit. For the heart of San
dill was really white heart in a black
body.
Meantime, to the edge of the deep
pit the Kafrs dragged the wild man
and the maiden-the father and the
daughter. One look down into the
pit puzzled Edith. She could see no
leopards. She wondered where the
blacks kept the beasts which she was
to confront.
She screamed witn fright as they
gave her father a push that forced him
to leap down into the pit. And terror
took possession Of her as she found
herself suddenly seized by men with a
rope. This rope they tied about her
and then
Father, save me-" she cried, as they
lowered her into the pit.
When she felt the ground under her
feet she freed herself from the rope.
And then for the first time 5hC saw th>
leopards. The beasts we're in an inner
recess-just within n iron-barred door
that would presently be lifted by Kafirs
hauling on a chain at the top OF the
pit.
Edith turned to the wild man with a
desperate resolve. She had g fresh
plan to bring back her fathers memory
and cause him to recognize her. She
went very close to him and put her
arms on his shoulders and said:
Father, look at me. Look into my
eyes. 1 am the exact image Of my
mother as you last saw her. Look!
Look closelyl'

CULLlNG MAKES FINE FOWLS

The first great secret in the pro-
duction of fine poultry is severe cul-
ling. AS soon as you can distinguish
between the good and the bad. COM
mence the culling process. The runts
and the deformed, the off-colored and
the disqualified, should be at once dis
posed of, SO that the room and feed
may not be appropriated by them to
the detriment of the good ones.
Select fowls of good size, proper
color and correct formation. If the
backs. keels. legs or toes of any are
crooked or deformed, thrown them out
for the table on the market. Ii there
are any scrubs, small or feeble ones
it is best to end their existence.
When you Gull, Gull closely, and re.
tain only such specimens as are rea.
sonably sure to grow right. 1t is only
by such systems OF severe culline
that one can ever hope to breed rea
sonably uniform specimens Of fancy

KEEPING EWES FLEECE DRY

cially is II important when II falls in

of the open-wooled breed are long ex-
posed to these they may do great
harm. The closed-wool breed. as the

wool that they carry. The shelter
provided up to the lambing season
may be of the simplest kind, providing

breeding ewes large liberty In winter
IL the ground is bare. or even partial
ly, for it will do them good to give
them large liberty. They will make
excursions TO the fields in search OF
grass, and the exercise will do them
much good. They should be allowed
TO lie in a well bedded yard at night
in a shed or house adjoining, as they

The other necessary attentions in

at all times accessible, and an ample
supply OF pure water and a yard

TO ExTERMINATE THE MITES
Task May Be Performed by Use Of
Licc-killing Liquid or Kerosene
and by Burning Sulphur,

Mites are the smallest kind of lice
and are so small that they quite often
escape notice. They live on the fowls
at night, but leave. in the morning
and hide in the woodwork of the hen
house, particularly the roosts. nests
and nearby woodwork. The way to
exterminate them is to paint the In.
sides of the nests, the roosts and the
roost supports. etc, with some good
lice-killing liquid every two weeks, or
with kerosene once a week. Then
drive the hens out doors on a warm
afternoon, close the house up tight
and burn enough sulphur in it to fill
the building absolutely full of dense
blue fumes and keep it closed for an
hour or two. These fumes will ge.
all through the house. into the cracks,
etc, and will kill the mites. This
should be repeated = week later.

Children Caring for Milk and Utensils.
caution is taken at milking time. dirt
and dust will he sure to fall into the
milk from the tanks and udder of the
COW. The greater part of this filthy
matter dissolves in the milk, giving it
but also inoculating it with bacterial
germs.
These germs may nave been garn-
cred floln stagrant water. muddy
pools or mirey yards. While the ma
jority of them may not be disease
producing or especially harmful should
they be transmitted to the human sys-
TEN, yet to say the least, they are
factors in bringing about decomposi-
tion of the milk. Filth and disease
germs go hand in hand: the same care
lessness that allows the one is likely
to give access to the other. Hence, it
is of the highest importance that the
COW be kept as nearly clean as possi-
BILE. This can be accomplished large
ly by brushing off all the loose dirt
and dust from the fianks and udder
but, il at all convenient, it is even
better to wipe the udder with a damp
cloth. This will take but moment
and will prevent large quantities Of
filth from getting into the milk.
The mixer interested in a pure.
wholesome product should insist on
wearing a special suit while milking.
This suit need not be a white one, but
such a one has the advantages of at
least showing when it has become
soiled, and furthermore, if the mixer
is 10 keep it clean he will soon be
forced TO keep everything about him
clean. The warm milk as it comes
from the COW offers a splendid medium
for the favorable growth of all kinds
of bacteria which may gain access to
it. In order to lessen this develop
ment milking should be done as care
fully and quickly as possible and the
milk strained through metallic
strainer for even under good condi-
tions this soon becomes a hot-bed for
bacteria. Milk bottles are frequently
returned from homes where contagi-
Gus diseases exist To prevent the
spread Of epidemics the important
work of washing milk utensils should
not be intrusted to little children.

MINERAL CONTENT OF APPLES
Department OF Agricultural Chemigtry
of the Idaho Station Gives re.
suits Of Experiments.

Fruit of all kinds that grow on
plants which receive the largest por-
ton of their food supply through the
soil, always contain n rather large
amount of mineral substances.
In the apple. for example. it has
been found by work carried on in the
department of agricultural chemis-
try of the Idaho station that the ash
amounts from . to .35 per cent OF
the fresh mature fruit This total ash
Is obtained by drying a suitable guam
tity 6 1.3 pounds) of the quartered
apples at a degree of about 40 de-
grees c. for several days, and then
burning 1t in an electrical furnace at a
dull red heat until practically all the
carbon Is consumed The total
amount APPARENTLY does not vary to
any great extent with varieties or
with irrigation or non-irrigation.
When this ash, which. from the
majority of varieties is perfectly
white. is further subjected to analy-
ses. the following are the most i'm
portant elements found: Silicon. iron.
aluminium. phosphorus, manganese,
calcium. magnesium, potassium.
chlorine and sulphur
Although no one has been able to
determine the exact function of these
various elements in plants and fruits,
it is generally believed that sulphur
and phosphorus enter into the living
substance; that potassium. magnes-
ium. calcium and iron, although not
entering into the living substance.
are essential. but owing to the fact
that they are so widely distributed in
the soil. are absorbed by the root
hairs of the tree. and find their way
to the fruit through the tree sap.
