is 1t love story?"
Have you come to Africa for char
ity? Voyons!"
Julia was silent. A great reserve
seemed to seize her heart. to stifle
her as the poverty of her love story
struck her. She sat turning her cof-
teaspoon between her fingers, her
eyes downcast. She had verv little
to tell. She might never have any
more to tell. Yet this was her love
story. But the presence Of Sabron
was so real, and she saw his eyes
clearly looking upon her as she had
seen them often; heard the sound Of
his voice that meant but one thing
and the words of his letter came back
to her. She remembered her letter
to him, rescued from the field where
he had fallen She raised her eyes to
the Comtesse de la Maine, and there
was an appeal in them.
The Frenchwoman leaned over and
kissed Julia. She asked nothing more.
She had not learned her lessons in
discretion to no purpose.
At night they sat out in the moon
light, white as day, and the radiance
over the sands was like the snow
bowers. Wrapped in their warm Gov
erings, Julia and Therese de la Maine
lay on the rugs before the door OF
their tent, and above their heads
shone the stars so low that e seemed
as though their hands could snatch
them from the sky. At little dis
lance their servants sat around the
dying fire, and there came to them the
plaintive song of Azrael, as he led
their singing:
And who can give again the love of yes
terday?
Can a whirlwind replace the sand after it
What can heal the heart that Allah has
smitten?
Can the mirage form again when there

to herself in the shadow.

said Madame de la Maine intensely, Il

She waited for a long time. Over
the face of the desert there seemed to
be nothing but one veil of light. The
silence grew SO intense, so deep; the
Arabs had stopped singing, but the
heart fairly echoed, and Julia grew
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. her eyes the cara

Of the moonlit mist, rocking, rocking
the camels and the huddled figures of
the riders, their shadows cast upon the

And now fremont would be forever
changed in her mind. A man who had
suffered from his youth, a warm-heart-
ed boy, defrauded Of his early love. It
seemed to her that he was a charming
figure to lead Sabron.

has become an industry of such pro-
portions that there are few people who
have never heard of it. Ginseng is
a low herbaceous plant, native in the
rich, moist soil of hardwood forests
from Maine to Minnesota and south
ward to the mountains of northern
Georgia and Arkansas. 1t is cultivat-
ed commercially in New York, Penn
sylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin and
southwark to Missouri, Tennessee and
North Carolina.
The seed is sown in the spring
or autumn in drills six inches apart
and about two inches apart in the
row. The plants remain in the seed
bed for two years and are then trans
planted, being set about eight inches
apart each way. 1t requires from five
to seven years to obtain marketable
roots from seed. If roots are planted
marketable product will be obtained
sooner, according to the age and vigor
of the stock used.
The roots are set about by inches
apart. When the roots have reached
marketable size they are dug. washed,
sorted and dried.
The price of ginseng varies with
market conditions. Roots of southern
origin bring less than those from
northern localities. A small quantity
OF ginseng is used by the Chinese res
idents In America, but the principal
market is found in China.

CHAPTER XIV.
The Meeting.

Under the sun, under the starry
nights fremont, with his burden, jour.
neyed toward the north. The halts
were distasteful to him, and although
he was forced to rest he would rather
have been cursed with sleeplessness
and have journeyed on and on. He
rode his camel like Bedouin; he grew
brown like the Bedouins and under the
hot breezes, swaying ON his desert
ship, he sank into dreamy, moody and
melancholy reveries, like the wander
ing men Of the Sahara, and felt him
self part of the desolation, as they
were.
What will be, viii bel" Hammet
Abou said to him hundred times, and
fremont wondered: "Will Charles live
to see Algiers?"
Sabron journeyed in a litter carried
between six mules, and they Travelled
slowly, slowly. fremont rode by the
sick mans side day after day. Not
once did the soldier for any length of
time regain his reason. He would pass
from coma to delirium, and many
times fremont thought he had ceased
to breathe. Slender, emaciated under
his covers, Sabron lay like the image
Of soldier in wax-a wounded man
carried as a votive Offering to the
affairs of desert warfare.

tRy L. NJ. BENNINGTON,

Wy -. nAs
From Washington comes the report
that for many years past foreign doc
tors in China have endeavored to con-
vince the Chinese that there is little
or no virtue in ginseng as a remedy
beyond its having a slight tonic quail
ity, but although they have been able
to introduce foreign drugs and medi-
cine they@ have failed to reduce the
use OF ginseng, as the Chinese still
have great faith in it.
The thing most likely to convince
the Chinese that ginseng is not indis-
pensable is the price, which is still
very high. The market for ginseng is
so extensive that overproduction
would seem to be impossible as a re-
duction in the cost to the consumer
would undoubtedly increase its use.
Direct trading between American
producers and dealers in Annoy would
be impossible. The entire supply of
ginseng for this port comes through
Hongkong dealers, who thoroughly I'M
derstand the grading and sorting of
the roots to meet the local trade.
Grading is most important in mar
keting ginseng. and as 1t varies great
ly throughout China, it requires ex-
perts who are familiar with the pref
erences of the various localities.
The difficulty for the American
grower is the changing requirements
of so many small markets. The fact
that wild ginseng is supposed to con-
tain stronger and purer properties than
cultivated largely accounts for the diff.
ference in price paid for the wild and
cultivated roots. The supply of wild
ginseng usually comes from eastern
Siberia and Korea, and occasionally
from Manchuria. The roots are larger
and different IN appearance from the
American root.
