She stopped at last, and sealing the

Unusual excitement prevailed. A
ranger had brought in the first mail
they had had in the entire two weeks,
and everyone had gathered about him,
eager for news. There was a letter
from Henson for Judith, good old

THE thing swept crashingly into
Judith's mind. Why, it would
mean escape, permanent escape, from
the Office, from life down there in the
valley after her editor married Helen,
escape-oh, but she had prayed for
escape! While she had been laughing
and teasing and playing, all the but
terfy on the surface up in the silent,
white places, her spirit deep under
meath had been praying for escape,
for something to happen that would
make it unnecessary for her ever again
to go back to Latoona, to the Office.
She knew with what dark thoughts
she had looked into awful crevasses;
she knew the involuntary suggestion
that came with every perilous situa-

abandonment to the lure of danger.

HORSES WITH THE BOTS;
THE REMEDY SUGGESTED

Bots in horses Is such n common
disease that every farmer and horse
ran Sh'uid have remedy always At
hand. The United States Department
of Agriculture recommends the fol-
iuwiRv:
The horse to he trented Is fed a
little oats and hay In the morning and
allowed 10 go without food tho rest
Of the cnS. Al night a purge consist !.
Ing OF an ounce o. ~: rbadoes aloes or n
pint OF raw linseed oil is given. Next
morning three drains OF carbon BIZ
sulphide. volatile liquid. arc given
three times In eelntino capsules at hour
intervals.
Tho Eeiatine capsule soon dissoIves In
the horses stomach, and then tho oar
bon bisulphide evaporates rapidly. The
fumes make short work OF bots and
other parasites. but do not injure the
horse The treatment was tried with a
largo number OF affected horses. and
proved uniformly successful.
