Rule 1. That no tags be LETT with the
grower, but should be kept i'll the hands
of the inspectors until the inspectors
themselves shall attach to the containers,
each tag to be signed by the inspector in
his own handwriting, thereby making
! certain that any complaint of poorly

J the inspector responsible for letting it go
out. This rule TO apply to all crops
| Rule 5. That each inspector shall file Il
copy of his signature with the President
i of the Seed Improvement Association and
/ the Department of Agriculture.
| Rule 6. That as it is only necessary to
make one field inspection of the small
grains, like oats. barley, wheat. buck
wheat, etc, fee of $l.00 per acre be
charged in addition to the entry fee Of
50 cents per acre-the cost of tags to be
/ on the same basis and under the same
rules as potatoes.

The inspectors chosen are active young
men-either farm boys or boys studying

from the field all hills affected with black

done with care and thorouehness ana
there was a large amount of fine pota-

died the chest of his prey, knee
pinning down either arm, one hand
gripping Blue Serges throat. the
other striving with purpose I'M
doubtedly murderous to get posses
sion OF the short Roman sword.
At this a strange thing happened
I-strangest Of all to Sally. For she,
VINO never In her life had touched
firearm or viewed scene of violence
more desperate than a schoolboy
squabble, discovered herself stand
ing beside the desk and leveling at
the head of the heavy villain the
automatic pistol that had rested
there.
simultaneously she was aware of
the sound of her own voice, cry
Ing: Stop! Drop that sword and
put up your hands,"
The stout assassin started back
and turned up to the amazing an
partition of her ludicrous mask of
establishment Then slowly he ele-
waited two grimy hands.
Get up!" she snapped. NO
Keep your hands in sight. Now
stand back-to the wall! Quick"
The rogue obeyed, keeping his
hands level with his ears. Still
holding the pistol ready, the girl
shifted her glance to Blue Serge.
He had picked himself up, and
now stood surveying his ally with
regard which wavered between
amaze and admiration, suspicion
and surprise. Catching her inquir-
Ing eye, he bowed jerbily.
And now" Blue Serge suggested,
by your leave"
Drawing near the girl, he held
out his hand for the pistol, and to
her own surprise she surrendered
1t, suddenly conscious that he was
rapidly assuming command of the
situation.
And incontinently, as tho he had
taken away all her courage, to.
gether with that nickel-plated sym.
Dol, she started back, almost cring.
ing In a panic Of sadly tangled
nerves.
Once he had disarmed her. Blue
Serge transferred his interest ex-
clusively to his late assailant. He
stepped over, poked the pistols nose
significantly into the folds of the
ruffian's neck, and slapped smartly
his two hip pockets: in consequence
OF which singular performance he
thrust hand beneath the tail of
the fellows coat and brought away
a bulldog revolver of heavy caliber.
And then he stepped back, smil-
Ing. with a sidelong glance of tri-
umph for Sally's benefit-a glance
that spent itself on emptiness.
