then turning, hurried down the walk
The consul, much puzzled and i'll at
east, watched the burly form until it
was engulfed in the shadow of the
trees. He closed and locked the door.
1t was barely possible that Jim had
been attacked and might in his dying
moments desire to speak to the only
real friend he had. The thought wor-
ried him as he turned to re-enter the
library. At the door of that room he
was met by his sister.
"Why, Belle" he exclaimed, you
look as if you had seen ghost. What
is the NATTER"
Her face was as white as the snow
without. She waved him away from
her and retreating into the hall
pointed with shaking finger to his
hand.
Looking down he was startled and
Mortified to find it covered with Blood.
The clamminess of the handshake
with the stranger was explained.
There is more to this than
thought" he muttered. BELIEF he
exclaimed aloud. / must see what this
means. A man who wishes to be-
friend me may now be dying. This
may be his life blood now drying on
my hand"
John, John, do not go~ pleaded
his sister clinging to him. at is
probably trap"
81 cannot help it, Belle" he replied
his firm lips tightening. 81 am going
to see this thing through"
Realizing there was no use in
pleading, Belle, with a sigh, entered
the library while John went to wash
the blood from his hands.
When he returned he had the report
he had written in his hand. "lf |
do not return within twenty-four
hours, Belle, it will be your duty, sis
ter, as a loyal American, to get this
report into the hands of the president.
/ do not know by what dangers you
may be surrounded, but l believe you
can get it through to Washington if
any one can, and possibly with less
risk than any one else, for the reason
no one will suspect that you carry it.
1t is of the utmost Importance. have
no time to explain it now, but ] be-
lieve you will do it, won't you?"

which Japan holds the United States"
He laughed mirthlessly as he finished
speaking.

remarked Darlington, as he handed
Naldon cigar. "Wait," he continued
as he saw his. companion was about
to interrupt him." of course the blow
on the head or the Knockout drops
can be dispensed with. These are not
pleasant, but it is evident that l must
be gotten out of the way"
"What the devil are you driving
at?" asked Jim impatiently, "you
know must up stakes and get out of
this. will never harm hair of your
head, and did not intend to when he
made the demand"
at is just this way, JIM" declared
the consul" we must nip this thing
in the bud. 1t will never do to allow
our brown friends to see they are
suspected. You have your chance now
to make good to your country for
what you did against it. l do not
ask any of the particulars of your
past. 1t is sufficient for me to dis
cover that you are still man. am
going to trust you, and trust you i'm
plicitly, and as result you will yet
walk into the United States with
shoulders thrown back and head erect.
Will you help me?"

CHAPTER ii.
4 Timely Warning.

Yamagasi had not been far wrong
when he said this gray eyed, aggres-
sive representative of Uncle Sam had
not been solely engaged in gathering
facts as to the market for American
shoes, farming implements, drugs,
etc, at Nationwide, Ont.
Deeply engrossed in the report he
was completing, Darlington heard not
the creaking of the snow under the
wheels of a passing wagon, nor did
he heed it crunch under the tread of
heavy man coming up the walk. 1t
was not until an imperious ringing of
the door bell was supplemented by
midnight chimes of the great clock in
the hall that he awoke to his sur
roundings.
Hastily slipping the finished docu-

tons fascinating smile rippled over
his face as he spoke, "and now to
business. 1t will not do for us to be
seen here together. Let us get within
the shadow of the timber, and we will
then outline our plans. My myster-
ious disappearance must be provided
for, but l must have twenty-four
hours first"
They walked back to where a foot
path, used by back concession fam
lily, broke through the timber, and
entered the sombre depths of the
wood.

ment into his breast pocket he went
to the door. Taking precaution to
leave the old fashioned chain in its
slot harrington opened the door as
far as it would go. The light from
within revealed dark, bearded coun-
tenance, surmounting a hercluean
frame.
"Is this counsool Barringer ?" asked
the stranger in deep voice with a
foreign accent.
"This is United States Consul Bar
rington," retorted that official closely
scanning the face of his midnight
caller. what do you WANT"
"There is countryman of yours
pretty badly hurt. His name is No
holland"
The peculiarly searching glance OF
the stranger as he spoke did not es-
cape Barrington's notice and he con-
trolled his inclination to start. A
deep game was being played and al
the caution in the world was needed
"How was he hurt ?" the question was
asked very quietly and calmly.

And yet by the constant study

Especially is this true in Homes,

in the last few it has in the Kennewck country This
partly due to the fact that the Kennewck farmer quick

due to the fact that climatic conditions and abundance of al

Just what factors have contributed to the of the in

The question the who have into the
hog business mistake? We think not 1t is true that
just Mr. Hog hitting the downward bumps the price
wheat hits the high spots be that some OF farmers
have mistake going the business too large
