Great Wall Of China.

Few people realize what an almost
perfect condition prevails along a
large part of the great wall of China.
the bricks of the parapet are as firm
as ever, and their edges have stood
the severe climatic conditions of
North China with scarcely a break.
The paving along the top of the wall
is SO smooth that one may ride over
1t with a bicycle, and the great gran
tie blocks with which it is faced are
smooth and SO closely fitted as when
put in place over 1000 years ago.
The entire length of this wall is 1,400
miles, it is % feet high and 20 feet
in thickness. At intervals Of 100 yards
or so there are towers, some 40 feet

growing, as it furnishes both plant
and humus. Where manure is not
available, green crops, such as cow
peas, soy beans vetch, or crimson
clover should be turned under to
supply humus and part of the nitro
gen. Commercial fertilizers can be
employed to furnish most of the
plant food, but without humus in
the soil the fertilizer will be of lit
tie value.

cauliflower, tomatoes, peppers, egg

14 In order to secure good
stocky plants with large root sys-
tens, the seedlings should be trans
planted at least once before setting
in the garden. The plants should be
set two inches apart each way in a
box, hot-bed, or cold frame.

answered, and with that my visitor
departed.
There was good deal to think
over. Briefly, Dacre, while hunting in
q wild part Of the Lake Superior
country, had sustained bad fall from
q cliff-side. He had lain helpless and
isolated half Of the day and all Of
one night, unable to climb up the
steep incline. He had been discov.
cred by . girl whose whole appear
ance suggested some wild mountain
maid.
Her name was Elsa Warren and she
lived with her stepfather. Reuben
Thorpe, a hunter he proclaimed him
self, but not averse to assisting Dor.
der smugglers at times. He was q
surly, unsociable old fellow, but with
one great redeeming feature in his
warped nature-he idolized Elsa as
he had loved her dead mother. She
seemed to feel 1t duty to remain
with the lonely, bereaved old man. In
her presence all his rudeness seemed
to disappear. Poor, obscure as they
we're, the girl had grown up commun-
ing only with nature, ardently fond
of books. These had refined her ma
ture, and these her stepfather always
provided, no matter how poorly his
desultory vocation paid him.
For a month Dacre was laid up at
the humble cottage home of Elsa,
near a little town named Clyde The
purity and freshness of his faithful
nurse had enraptured him. He made
an honest, earnest declaration of love.
Elsa had bluihed and trembled. Her
stepfather, coming in, few into pas
sion. He drove Dacre forcibly from
the place. The next morning Dacre
found the little hut deserted, Elsa
and Thorpe had disappeared.
For a month he sought them with
