The purser came along and paused

to the ships invalid Brooke lay with
half-closed eyes, looking out upon the
sea.
His thoughts wandered from the pa
thetic little figure by his side to, Mr..
Gordon Black. who was strolling up
and down the deck smoking cigar.
Brooke felt peculiar interest IN study
ing the dark, handsome face.
That the man had been bold ad-
a buccaneer of finance, was
true without a doubt Was there really
the shadow Of that ghastly crime con-
cealed behind the mask of those set
features and level brows?
There was shrill blast from the

bank of white mist. Immediately alter.

The next day, they ran into storm.
The whole outlook was unspeakably

steward came to Brooke in the smok-
ing-room.

"Dr. Browning, the old gentleman who
is i'll, would take it as a great favor if
you would step down to his stateroom
for a moment. The poor gentleman's
very bad indeed, sir" he added con-
hdentially.
@Sure he meant me?" Brooke asked,
little puzzled.
Certainly, sir" the man replied. He
wanted to speak to you most particular"
Brooke made his way down below at
once. The little man was lying half
dressed upon the sofa berth and his ap-
pearance was ghastly, He motioned
Brooke to close the door

When Brooke returned to his chair

sented him with note.

piled, as he turned away.
Brooke watched his neighbor break
the seal OF the letter and read its con-
tents. They seemed to consist OF
few lines only yet the seconds passed
into minutes and the eyes OF the reader
were still riveted upon the half sheet
of paper.
He seemed at 6rst a little dazed; he
had the appearance of man who
struggles with a message sent him N

That night, or rather IN the small
hRurs of the morning, the silence Of
the great ship was broken by the sound
of hurrying footsteps along the pas
sage outside Brooke's stateroom, a
hoarse murmuring Of voices, the flying
feet of an urgent messenger. Brooke

She can encourage her huS-

northeast between , and 1 O'Clock

these hours. The comet is faint,
having the brightness of third
star and has a tail
several degrees i'll length. 1t is
really much larger than the famous
Hallcy'S comet, but is vastly
farther from the earth than
Halley'S approach four years ago.
1t will be visible to the naked eye
until the middle of November.

Important That Every Farmer
Should Have Winter Pasture

Although somewhat late, il
is nevertheless all important
that every farmer should have
a winter pasture. This is es-
pecially necessary i'll the case
of those farmers who may not
have silos, out of which to
supply succulent food to live
stock during winter season.
Crimson clover, vetches and
Louisiana grown oats; with
lespediza planted among the
oats i'll the spring are the
cover crops best adapted to
winter pasturage i'll Southwest
Louisiana.
These cover crops greatly
benefit the soil i'll addition to
their value for grazing.
Speaking of pastures calls
to mind the fact that it was 4

who walked off with the grand
championship prize for the

suggests that our school bows

farm.

And yet the cattle industry
is becoming al important

Parish during the current

way Southwest Louisiana is
doing pretty well.
This is one reason why this
Bureau strongly advises its
members against selling corn
and sweet potatoes at the
prevailing low prices. The
war has created a depression
in business and INSCRIPTIONS
spectators take advantage of
that fact to beat down prices
of farm products. Both corn
and sweet potatoes make hue
stock feed. These who able
to hold them until the middle
of December or January are
advised to do SO; those who
cannot hold them until the
of December or January
would better feed them to their
love stock and pigs, rather
than sell them for less then
SIPS for corn and S1.50 for
potatoes.
Why is it that the farmers
who produce cotton do not i'll
sist that their cotton bales be
wrapped iii cotton bagging in
stead of i'll imported jute?
Suppose it should seem a
little more expensive to do SO;
t would provide a GER
ain market for 100000
oales and keep seven and a
lalf million dollars in the
armers' pockets.
Then, there are SO many
'ther things the farmers buy
in material other
han cotton, merely because
he cotton producer is not in
position to take such things
lp and have them corrected.
