ever they might be, alike with these
past disturba lces and these new ter
rors. Whereupon with savage shouts
they once more fell upon the unfor-
Inmates and made them prisoners
again.
To the left, across bare ledge of
rock which showed no trace of it,
there led path whose presence Fred
erick had not suspected. 1t was down
this new passageway that the natives
now led Kitty and Count Frederick.
They passed down a steep declivity
covered with trees and at length found
their way to the lower beach, where
after a time they were Joined by 9TH
ers who cautiously had emerged from
their hiding places. It plainly was the
purpose of all these now to complete
the sacrifice which had been arrested
by the escape Of the victim few days
ago. They inflicted preliminary in
dignities upon them, at least, whether
with the intention of hurrying them
to the sacrificial fire, or of obliging
them to interpose between the natives
and these new invaders-who, as now
all could see, also were white people
and hence to be dreaded.
Much of these operations was cas-
lily visible from the yachts deck. Ap-
parently there were some commands
from the man who stood at the bow,
binoculars in hand. Overheard went
pair of boats manned by stout oars
men who swept them quickly toward
the shore.
The man with the binoculars saw
two figures on the beach, easily dis
tinguishable from the savage ones
around them. One was a man, and
the other a boy, at first he thought.
White" he muttered to himself.
"Refugees-castaways of some sort on
this coast. How did they get here,
l wonder? But by Jove! my fellows
are giving the natives all they want,
I'm thinking"
Such, indeed, was the CASE The |
sailor men plunged through the surf |
as their keels touched bottom and |
came on at run, rifles in hand and |
firing as they came, with the effect |
that half dozen of the savages fell. |

The others scattered like sheep an(
left the captives standing there dazed
yet happy at their deliverance. The

came up to Count Frederick and sa
luted. He seemed to recognize in him

Explaining the Carving.

Antiquaries are well acquainted with
the ancient church at Barfreston, near
Canterbury, England, and during the
summer many tourists visit the
church. Round the Norman doorway
is quaint carving representing hare
being hunted by hounds. One day a
visitor asked the sexton what was the
meaning of the carving.
oh" was the reply, 1T is taken out
of Scripture. It's on the text: This is

at the crest of the cliff gazing out ovel
the white-topped waves toward the
nodding sails of the rapidly-advancine
craft. "a two-master, under heavy
sail. Auxiliary, no doubt. What can
she be-"
"It is what I also would ask" said
Count Frederick at her side studying
the craft as intently. Whatever it
be, it is our only hope. See, she
seems to have the look of yacht.
Watch her bows as they rise and see
how her spars rake back. A yacht
but whose, and what nationality"
There comes their flag" said Kitty,
British! Well, l wish it were the
flag of my own country, but better
that than none"
1--WE shall be safe enough under the
Union Jack" said Frederick. Il count
on good treatment when they find out
who we are"
She turned to him with a curious
look upon her face.
Say rather when they find out who
you are, Count Frederick" said she.
You are nobleman, I am an I'M
known American girl, cast away with
out friend on EARTH"
He smiled at her as though amused.
"An American girl who has had

SULPHUR AS A FERTILIZER
Experiments Conducted Seem to Prove
That 1t Is of the Greatest Value
to the Soil.

In parts of France the residue from
gas works is extensively used as fer
tilizer. Analysis of several samples
of garden soil prove that the value of
this unusual fertilizing agent is due
in part to the large amount of sulphur
in it, 40 per cent of sulphur and from
/ to 2 per cent of nitrogen, in the form
of ammonia or its salts. Experiments
in flour of sulphur are said to promote
and to give to the plants deeper green
color than they would have without it.
Probably it helps to form chlorophyll.
Moreover, some of the sulphur is oxi-
died and becomes sulphate in the
soil. !
In this relation, it may be pointed
out that experiments at the University
of Wisconsin have been regarded as
proving that the generally prevailing
theory that sulphur in the soil is Of
little value for promoting fertility, as
compared with phosphorus and nitro
gen, is erroneous and that sulphur is,
in fact, of vast Importance Continu-
Gus cultivation, together with insult
cient fertilization, causes a large an
nual loss of sulphur which cannot be
from the atmosphere, and
little is brought up by capillarity
from the subsoil. The experimenters,
therefore, recommend the application
of fertilizers containing sulphur to
lands which are frequently cropped.
The failure hitherto to recognize the
great value of sulphur in the soil is
ascribed to faulty analytic methods
by early investigators.

pausing for any question he sprang

Summer Baseball May Win
With Big Nine Colleges
Special to The Telegraph

Chicago, Dec. 4.-Indications last
night were against action calculated
to do away with the summer baSeball
rule at the meeting of the Big Nine
Faculty committee here to-day OPP
ponents of the rule, if was believed,
have not been able to muster enough
votes to overcome the sentiment in
favor of its retention.
The question of prohibition, under
rules against professionalism, of ath-
letes taking summer jobs with golf
clubs may be brought up, though few
athletes of prominence, it is said,
would come under such a ban.
Conference representatives have ex-
pressed themselves against adding
more institutions to the nine now COM
posing the circuit, and 1t was not con-
sidered likely that Nebraska, Notre
Dame or the Michigan Aggies would
be enrolled, though their applications
for membership were said to have been
received.
Dates and places for the annual in
door and outdoor meets probably will
be set, and the election of a president
to succeed Professor Pyre, of Wiscon-
sin, and a secretary to succeed Profess
sor Moran, of Purdue, is on the pro-
gram.

Well; Good Passing

Scholastic basketball opened in Har-
risburg last night. Tech High five lost
to the Alumni team, score 26 to 2S,
on Tech gymnasium floor. The Alumni
offered a strong team and went into
the lead from the start.
Trump shot the first goal soon after
play started. 1t was long shot. Har-
ris got into the game and made fine
shot, tying the score. Then the grad
uates forged ahead rapidly and soon
had a big lead. In the second half
Tech came back strong, cutting down
the lead to three points. The last
four minutes of play was a rough
battle
Techs passing was a feature. The
Alumni players were strong in defen-
sive work and had the best goal shoot
ers. Harris, Hitler and Trump were
the stars of the game. This week

The first annual cross-country run
to-day attracted widespread atten-

ability to whip team in shape at this

the breast of the dam. The course
was two and a quarter miles long.
The drawing for positions took place
before the contest.
Following practice yesterday after
