American SiIo in Holland,

The first American enSilage tower In
Holland, which was erected last year
on the JOhannuhOeve farm at OOster-
beck by the Institute for Agricultural
improvements, has given such good re-
suits that two other towers are now
to be built or the same farm, which
will provide sufficient enSilage maize
to keeL the entire farm stock during
next winter.
The head of the JOhannahOeve pro-
iect asserts that the American method
is preferable to that hitherto In use
there. An excellent fodder for all
kinds Of animals is thus produced, he
says, while the losses by fermentation
are considerably less. He comes to
the conclusion that as many as A
cows can be maintained on 81 acres
by the new method, and that with e1-
elusive stable feeding they might even
be maintained on about 2212 acres,
only an albuminous fodder needing to
be added in the winter.

drawer of portents, rummaging in 1t
until he was fully convinced that the
little buckskin bag Of nuggets was
gone. Then, instead of following the
others, he took a fieldglass from its
case on the wall and went to the south
window to focus 1t upon the Massin-
gale cabin, standing out clear.cut and
distinct in the afternoon sunlight on
its high, shelflike bench.
The powerful glass brought out two
figures on, the cabin porch, woman
and man. The woman was standing
and the man was sitting on the step.
Grislow lowered the glass and slid the
telescoping sun tubes home with a
snap.

At the other extremity of the trajec-
tory Of Grislow's telltale fieldglass
Brouillard was summing himself luxu-
riously on the porch step at the Mas
singale house and making up for lost
time-counting all time lost when 1t
spelled absence from the woman he
loved. But Miss Massingale was in
a charmingly frivolous frame Of mind.

Of all work among the town builders

Confidence.

Why does this country tend always
to beIittle its wealth, its works, its
men and its power to meet calamity?
1t does, and yet we are thought to be
a people unembarrasSed by modesty.
Yankee hOaStfulness Is a prOVerh in
the world, but no Yankee ever told
quite all the truth. He never dared,
and, besides. he could not make him
self believe the whole length and depth
and breadth of it. DISTRESSING their
own judgment, the American people
lack confidence in their great estate.
Their temperament is rich in daring,
faith and optimism, but poor in conf
dence, which is a quality that comes
With time. A young people perhaps
should not have it. 1t is not good to
have everything-New York Tines.

CHAPTER XII
Bedlam
- X

1t was between two and three
o'clock in the afternoon Of the day in
which Mirapolis went placer mad
when word came to the reclamation
service headquarters that the power
was cut of and that there were no
longer men enough at the mixers and
on the forms to keep the work going
If the power should come on again.
Handley, the new fourth assistant,
brought the news, dropping heavily in
to a chair and showing his hat to the
back of his head to mop his scanned
and sun.browned face.
why the devil didn't you fellows
turn out?" he demanded savagely Of
Leshington, Arson and Grislow, who
were lounging in the Office and very
pointedly waiting for the lightning to
strike. "Gassman and / have done
everything but commit cold-blooded
murder to hold the men on the Job.
Where's the boss?"
Nobody knew, and Grislow, at least,
was visibly disturbed at the question.
It was Arson who seemed to have the
latest information about Brouillard.
"He came in about eleven o'clock,
rummaged for a minute or two in that
drawer you've got your foot on, Grizzly,
and then went out again. Anybody
seen him SINGER"
There was a silence to answer the
query, and the photographer righted
his chair abruptly and closed the
opened drawer he had been utilizing
for a foot-rest. He had long mem
Org for trifles, and at the mention Of
the drawer a disquieting picture had
flashed itself upon the mental screen.
There were two figures in the picture,
Brouillard and himself, and Brouillard
was tossing the little buckskin sack
of gold nuggets into the drawer, where
