the ewes an opportunity to be In q

time. This means that large per-

danger that lambs r,ay scour after

The eve should be milked out as oft

prevent the udder from caking. This
should be done until the ewes are all

should be placed on scant pastures for
about eight or ten days. In addition
to plenty of green pasture. the lambs
should be furnished a small quantity

MERELY A POPULAR BELIEF
Scholars Question Whether the Apple
Was tho "Forbldden Fruit" In the
Garden OF Eden.

Why and how It has happened that
tho apple has been spoken OF as the
fruit that was forbidden In the Gar
den OF Eden Is one OF the great puz-
zles Of Biblical scholars. The fact Is
that in Genesis 3. where the incident
of the eating of this fruit OF the Tree
of knowledge OF Good and EVIL Is
mentioned, no name whatever is given
to the fruit All that is said is: "And
when the woman saw that the tree
was good for food. and that 1t was
pleasant to the eyes. and a tree to be
desired to make one wise. she took OF
the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave
also unto her husband with her; and
he did eat" (verse 81.

CHAPTER I.
The Owner Of New York.


Percy barrow, a young man Of scien-
eific training. indolent manners. eifem-
tnate appearance. hidden energy, and
absolute courage, lounged through the
doors OF the Atlas Building. Since
his rescue from the volcanic island
that had witnessed the piratical muir
der Of his old employer, Doctor Scher-
merhorn, the spectacular dissolution
of the murderers, and his own impris-
onment In a cave beneath the very
roar Of an eruption, he had been nurs-
ing his shattered nerves back to their
normal strength. Now he felt that at
last he was able to go to work again
Therefore, he was about to approach
a man OF influence among practical
scientists, from whom he hoped FUR
ther occupation.
As the express elevator shot upward,
he passed long slender hand across
his eyes. The rapid motion confused
him still The car stopped. and the
metallic gates changed open. Darrow
= obediently stepped forth. Only when
the elevator had disappeared did his
upward glance bring to MIN the knowl-
edge that he had disembarked one
door too soon.
Darrow's eye fell on a lettered sign
outside the nearest door. He smiled
q slow red-lipped smile beneath his
small silky mustache, dropped his
black eyelashes in a flicker OF reminis-
cence, hesitated a moment. then step
ped languidly forward and opened the
door. The sign indicated the head
quarters OF the very modest commits
sionership behind which Mccarthy
chose to work Mccarthy, quite sim
ply, at that time owned New York.
As Darrow entered, Mccarthy hung
mp the telephone receiver with a
smash, and sat glaring at the instru'
ment. After q moment he turned his
small bright eyes toward the new
conner.
Hello. Perc." he growled. "Didn't
see you. Say, I'm so mad my skin
cracks. Just now some measly little
shrimp called me up from a public
booth. What ye suppose he wanted
now? oh, nothin'! Just told me In
40 many words for me to pack up my
