CHAPTER XIII.
Periious Places.

Ten days later Annette Ilington,
now called the little white angel even
by the shore squad from the cruiser,
felt her skirts plucked by clutching
hand. She looked down. A native
mere bag of bones in tumble of rags
-crouched at her feet.
Little white angel" whined the ma
tive in Spanish-and Annette had
learned enough of the tongue to listen
to appeals for help-"my daughter
just like you--so kind, and pretty.
She lies at deaths door. You have
food, you have medicine-and you can
lay your hand on her. She will get
well. What you have done for 9th
ers you can do for her."
An officer from the Albany turned
the corner. Annette's heart leaped.
The man was Neal Hardin.
.sNeal," she cried, listen to him

his daughter is-I'll go unless it's too
far
Neal spoke to the man in his native
language. The man jabbered back
eloquently.

Neal pondered for a moment. AL
right" he said, "and I'm free Just
now. I'll go with YOU"
The native leaped to his feet with
alacrity and ran crookedly ahead of
them. Outside of the town they
plunged into underground and then
through woods-but the ground was
dry and the trail was fairly good.
At the door OF hut the native
paused and motioned them In.

sprang toward it. At that instant the.
native dropped to the ground and
clutched Meals ankles tightly in, each
hand. At the same instant the hud-
died figure in the corner leaped to it's

in his eyes. And at the same instant
Ponto and the brute sprang into the
fray.
It was only matter of a moment
before Annette and Neal found them
selves bound and lying on the floor.

It was after dark. Out of q clump
Of trees upon a hill there sauntered
forth q man-this man was Ponto. He
picked his way carefully-warily. Be-
fore he knew It he was where he
wanted not to be-in the streets OF
the town. Once in, he started out,
but something attracted his attention.
A little crowd of men and women
stood about placard tasked upon the
side of a hut. Ponto read 1t swiftly.
Ponto raised his eyebrows signifi-
cantly. He had heard rumors-this
confirmed them.

Ambition.

Contented, unambitious people are all
very well in their way. They form a
neat, useful background for great por-
traits to be painted against, and they
make respectable if not particularly
intelligent audience for the active spir
its of the age to play before. But dc
not, for goodness sake, let them go
stalking about, as they are so fond OF
doing, crying out that they are the true
models for the whole species. Why.
they are deadheads, the drones, the
street crowds that lounge about gaping
at those who are working.
They never know the excitement OF
expectation nor the stern delight of ac-
complished effort, such as stir the pulse
Of the man who has objects, hopes and
plans. To the ambitious man life is q
brilliant game-a game that calls forth
all his tact and energy and nerve; a
game to be won in the long run by the
quick eye and the steady hand and yet
having sufficient chance about its
working out to give it all the glorious
zest of uncertainty.
And If he be defeated he wins the
grim joy of fighting; If he loses the
race he at least had run. Better so
work and fail than to sleep ones life
away.-Jerome K. Jerome.

What Is Truth?

Everybody claims to want the truth.
No man is so base or so cowardly as to
want anything less. Pilates question,
.sWhat is truth?" has never been fully
answered 1t is not fact, it is not OBJ
iective intelligence, it is not the eyi-
dence Of the senses. These are mere
phases or incidents of truth. They
may all be false Truth is not from the
outside. It is not material. 1t is not
spiritual. 1t is the kindness of deed
and the nobility of an aspiration. This
is the only truth in the world. 1t makes
no difference what the teacher, the
preacher, the editor, the lecturer says,
the only truth in the world is the act of
the loving and beautiful soul. The
Bible says, LAS a man thinketh in his
heart, so is he." That is in his spirit,
as expressed in his conduct Every

sUrsN GRASS ON DRY LANDS
Where Climatic Conditions Are Suit. cd IL Is Most Promising Annual
 Hay Crop Yet Tried.

By ALVIN KEYSER. Colorado Experi-
 ment Station)
 previous article on Sudan grass has aroused so much letter inquiry that 1t is thought that further ex- planation in regard to the crop would be helpful
 Sudan grass belongs to the sor. ghum family of plants. It Is finer stemmed than cane and natures in shorter season. Like all sorghums, however. it is distinctly warm weather plant. There are very few localities where it will do we'll at attitudes higher than 5000 feet. In some favored locations it can be grown somewhat higher than that. It is generally adapted to the Colorado plains conditions as a dry land an- nual crop.
 It cannot be pastured. but makes very rapid growth when warmth and moisture conditions are proper It can be expected to yield as much as ton per acre on practically all of the dry lands worth cultivating and in fairly favorable seasons may go as high as four tons per acre.
 Sudan grass is a good producer and VII! harvest seed at the rate of 30j up to as high as 1000 pounds per acre under the very best conditions. Un- der ordinary dry land conditions seed yields of 800 to 1000 pounds per acre are not unusual.
 On the dry lands this crop should be planted in rows and cultivated. It Is not especially adapted for irrigated conditions, although it will make heavy growth as an annual hay crop 1T !t Is desired to use 1t for such pur- poses. In the Arkansas valley, the season is long enough and hot enough to make two crops most years under irrigation. Under dry land conditions one crop is all that can be expected except in unusually wet seasons. Where climatic conditions are warm enough. Sudan grass is the most promising annual hay crop yet tried. It will not do well in the higher alti- tudes where the nights are cool, the seasons short and the days often cool.
 When seeded in rows. five or six pounds per acre is amply sufficient. The rows should be put from three to three and one-half feet apart in order to permit of cultivation. Seed ed broadcast, ten to fifteen pounds Is sufficient under dry land conditions.

WASTE PLACES ON THE FARM
Progressive Farmers Are Making First. Class Hog Pastures of Land
 Once Thought Worthless.

Most of the large and many of the small farms in the arid West have more or less poor land. Some of this Is rocky hilly country. some damp alkaline soils and other sections are cut up with washes and ditches. Most of these are not being utilized. What can We do to help in a practical way?
 number of progressive farmers have made first-class hog pastures of these formerly waste places by sowing common sweet clover. They say hogs relish it and make about as good gains as on alfalfa if pastured young 9th CTS have planted sweet clover for sheep pasture, taking care of the few arm sheep which are always a source of profit on such farms. Some have been utilizing these places for dairy calves. colts or any other animal avail. able.
 This is worth trying out If the farm. er wants to grow sweet clover and ioes not want to pasture it, then he may cut it young for hay or produce seed which at present is bringing a big price on the market

 A concrete stable floor is made level endwise of the building; crosswise, it varies. to give the necessary slant to the standing floor and the drop for the gutters; also the floor behind the COWS slopes forward slightly to drain into the gutters.
 The bottoms of the managers, the front of the standing floor, and the floor between the managers usually are made the same height.

 There are a few arbitrary rules in regard to building dairy stables that we cannot go away from, but unim- portant details may pe easily modified to suit each farmers preference for doing work in certain ways.
 Every Weil-built dairy stable has a concrete floor. The top surface of the floor is waterproofed in some way to provide easy cleaning and to preserve the liquid manure. After waterproof. ing. the surface may be made some what rough to prevent the COWS from slipping.
