Satisfied from his experiments that

dispose Of all Of his black hogs and
to raise Durocs exclusively. This
morning he received by express a

WHEN AN ICEBERG CoLLAPSES
Event Always Source Of Great Dan
ger to Craft That May Be in
the Immediate Vicinity.

One of the main dangers in the
proximity Of an iceberg is It's I'M

is told that the passengers of a steam
boat on the Newfoundland coast sue
cessfully importuned the captain to
approach an iceberg for close In
spection, says a writer In the Wide
World. While still apparently sutti-
ciently distant for safety some move
ment in the water or natural decay
acted upon the berg, and 1t split
apart. Instantly 1t began to readjust
it's balance. The tremendous masses
beneath the water steadily rose as tie
pieces swung over, and one wide OK
tending ledge came up beneath the
boat. What shall we do now?" In
quired a tourist. Get down on your
knees" was the terse reply of the
captain. But the great wave from the
tumbling ice swept down on the boat
and weshed 1t 70 safety.
The collapse of an iceberg spreads
danger to great distances. 1t may be
too far distant TO threaten a craft
itself, but the wave 1t raises will
swamp the largest boat in the imme-
date neighborhood.

The Judge had declared his neces-
sity to be greater than hers, and after
Mr.. Black had subjected him to one of
his most searching looks he decided
that this was so, and quietly departed
upon his errand. The judge left alone,
sat, a brooding figure in his great
chair, with no light In heart or mind
to combat the shadows of approaching
night settling heavier and heavier up
on the room and upon himself with
every slow passing and intolerable
minute.
At last, when the final ray had de-
parted and darkness reigned supreme,
there came low knock Oh the door.
Then troubled cry:
"Oh, Judge, are you here?"
Don't come any nearer; it is not

question ringing hollow from the dark

turned? Why are you no longer the

But" objected Deborah, 'if you
know where to look for him. why take

not telegraph to these places?"
His answer was look, quick, sharp
and enigmatical enough to require ex-
PLANTATION. He could not give 1t to her
then. but later, when Reuther had left
them, be said:
Men who fly their engagements and
secrete themselves, with or without a
pretext. are not so easily reached. We

You may be right. But Reuther?
Can she stand the excitement-the
physical strain?"
You have the harder task of the
two, Mrs. Scoville, Leave the little
one to me. She shall not suffer"
Deborah's response was eloquent 1t
was only look but it made his harsh
| features glew and his hard eye soften.
But lis thoughts, IL not his hopes,
receive check when, with every
plan made and Reuther in trembling
anticipation of the journey, he en-
| countered the triumphant figure of
Flanagan coming out of police head
! quarters.
His iaunty air, his complaisant nod,

while she was talking. He was look

fatigue; but he found none. The
pallor of her features was a natural
paIlor, and in their expression, new
forces were becoming apparent, which
gave him encouragement, rather than
anxiety, for the adventure whose most
trying events lay still before them.
This is what she was saying:
