CHAPTER xxvI-contInued.

He became conscious of Simon's Gu
rious gaze and turned sharply on him.
"Old man. you seem to know a sur
prising lot about making steel. Look
down the valley-there, on those hills.
Do you see anything that isn't there!"
Simon looked and nodded. 1--WE
ben seem 1t more'n forty years."
Henley stared. "Humph! An cpl
demic. There's magic in these hills.
His thoughtful glance swept them
once more. But ID alluring
magic"
The gentle. sometimes plaintive
voice of the preacher had no power
to distract from thought. His wistful
message could not reach the man for
whom 1t had been prepared in the
hope that it would come to him with
healing In its wings.
Love would do that. :" His
own chance words kept running
through Marks mind, bidding him fol-
low them along new path. He fol-
lowed. wondering that he had never
trod that way before.
Was that, then, the evidence of love?
Was there another manifestation of
the miracle than that he had asked
and awaited? For he had sought love,
thinking to find it expressed as he
had known it before, in the old ro-
mantle visioning, the. rhapsodic senti-
mentalities, the lust to possess. Mark

mistake. The coast of life is Uttered

of manhood's passion for the true
light But that morning a new percep-
ton dawned.
The poets and preachers we're right.
There was-there must be-a love that
passed beyond the realm of the senses,
that knitted souls as well as bodies,
declared itself not in greedy, cruel de-
sire but In the knowledge Of a perfect
fndestructible unity and the gentle will
to serve, when it most gave received
most Such a love would not stand
aghast at sin, would suffer in its
mates suffering, yearn to bear that
others burdens. That love he had
never seen, never met in his passion

was capable of it he knew from his
own need; only in such guise could
the miracle come.
The preacher was closing. Like an
echo came his last words to Mark.

OF forces without which no life Is COM

The benediction had been said.
Mark went quietly from his rear pew
out of the church and limped slowly
along the dusty, weed-fanked pike un-
til he came to a minor crest. There
he dropped on the roadside and turned
his eyes to the valley.
The murmurous quiet OF MONDAY

BAD LINTONVILLE FIRE
$4,000 Blaze Destroys Weidner's GEN
eral Store. Small Stove Over
turned, the Cause.

Lintonville, March 30.--A loss Of
$4,000 covered by insurance to the
amount of $500, resulted from a fire
which started in the Weidner general
store on Saturday, Mar. %, the store,
its entire contents, the Weidner home
and barn being totally destroyed.
Small damage was also done to the
lumber yard and neighboring dwell
ings.
The fire was started in the front
part Of the store in the section parti-
toned off as the postoffice, when the
small oil heater was upset and the oil
spread about over the floor. The
flames spread rapidly from the small
postoffice booth to the other part of
the store and then burst outside and
were famed by the strong east wind,
to the Weidner residence in the rear,
the big stable and to the neighboring
buildings. The entire village turned
out in an effort to check the flames
but all attempts were fruitless so the
fire fighters bent their efforts to saw
ing the lumber yard and other build
ings along the street, and it only re-
suited from the hardest work that the
flames were held from leaving the
Weidner property, which was totally
destroyed.

For Sunny Spots.

Among the many snowy lowering
plants for very dry places none ex-
cells the common blue plumbago. 1t
is doubtful If we have another plant
that will blossom so freely under ex-
tremely hard conditions Among her
baceous plants the common lavender
will thrive under equally hard treat
ment and lack OF treatment. We so
freely water poinsettias that one
would scarcely credit them with being
nearly at the top Of the list of drought
resistant plants. After the first year
in the garden it really matters little
whether they are watered or not. In
growing and towering season they are
both hungry and thirsty and can safely
be watered and fertilized very heavily,
and with profit too. In strictly flower
plants the common petunia win bloom
profusely throughout our hottest and
driest months without food or water,
and seedlings seem to do, as well when
left alone as when too much coddled.

TEST'YOUR SEED CORN
There May be Poor Ears Among
Your Seed Lot No Matter How
Well Seected and Cared for.

Reports from all sections of Min
nesOta show that there is consider
able poor seed corn this year. do
know that my seed corn will grow"
is question every farmer should ask
himself. Every man owes it to him
self and humanity to produce max
imum crop. No one has a right to
plant an ear of corn without know
ing whether or not it will grow. 1t
is only good business to know what
you are planting and this can be
found out only by testing each ear.
To get good corn good seed must be
planted.
The saw dust box is the convent
ent method to use and is made as
follows: AZ box 3Ox3O, four inches
deep, in the bottom of which pack
down solid with smooth surface, two
inches Of thoroughly soaked saw dust.
Cover this layer of saw dust with a
piece of muslin on which. you have
marked off squares 21sx21s inches,
this box is large enough for 100 ears,
six kernels from different parts of
each ear being then placed in one
square, the tips pointing one way,
germ side up. Each square being
numbered the number of which is put
on the ear from which the kernels
are taken. When the squares are
all filled, cover with second piece of
muslin. Then fill in with secon
layer of well soaked saw dust. Keep
in not too warm place, watering oc-i
casionally. After about eight days
the test should be read. Weak and
dead ears should be put into the feed
bin. Those that show medium to
strong should be used only in case of
shortage Of seed.
This method costs little but time
and labor and furnishes nearly natur-
al conditions.

High GRADE ATTRACTION
Savoy Management will Produce ''The
Last Days of P0mpeii" in Six
Reels, April 14th.

1t is nearly a hundred years ago
that Lord Bulwer wrote ''The Last
Days of Pompeii" and during all that
time it has survived as one of the
greatest novels in the world of liter
AZURE, and still holds marvellous fas-
cination for hosts of readers. Mr..
George Kleine has just produced a
photo drama of the novel which will
doubtless live for many hundred
years to come and be shown upon the
screen ages hence as evidence of the
wonderful development of the art of
photography in these times. Mr..
Kleine's production was made in Italy
and visualizes all the most important
incidents of the story with vivid real
isms. The heartrending tale of the
great love of the blind girl, Nydia, for
her hansome master, Glaucus, and her
terrible suffering when she learns
lone has won his heart are all
brought out with telling truth. The
tragic results of her efforts to win his
love with the use of love philtre the
wicked Arbaces gave, and which de-
stroys Glaucus' reason, is dramatic
ally illustrated. And the final episode
showing the awful catastrophe of the
eruption of the mighty volcano of
Vesuvius with it's clouds of ashes,
flame and smoke, completely destroy
ing Pompeii is reproduced with spec
tacular grandeur that is awe inspir-
ing and impressive. Taken as whole
it is one of the most remarkable photo
dramas that has ever been produced.
Mr.. Kleine's production of "The Last
Days of Pompeii" will be the attrec-
ton at the Savoy Theater April 14th,
for one night with matinee at 4:15 p.
m. Evening performances begin at
7:3O and 8:45. Admission 25 cents.
