Days passed and the rumors Of a

rison, depleted on account of the
war, was insufficient to overawe the
fanatics who paraded the street,
threatening death to all foreigners
on the occasion Of the great annual
festival that was to take place the
following week. The Europeans were
advised to leave Smith, wavering
between the double duty, at last de-
cided to take his wife down to the
coast.
They were in the midst of packing
when the storm broke. A distant
murmur rose into a yell A mob
armed with swords came rushing
through the streets, burning and
footing. The native servants had
fed.
Smith hurried his wife into the lit
tie garden. A glance showed them
that their escape was intercepted AS
the bearer of the hated tidings of an
other faith he was marked for the
fury of the rioters. The crowd swept
through the garden gate. At their
head, his eyes alight with fanaticism,

hand.
Kill! kip the mob shouted.
Smith very simply placed him arm
about Mary's waist and together they
waited for the end.
With a yell the fakir raised his
sword and thrust. Smith saw his
wife fall, pierced through the heart.

He heard the yelling mob sweep
onward and with his last effort he
CROPPED toward his wife, found her
hand and held it. And then con-
seriousness forsook him.
Somebody was bending over him,
stroking his forehead. He opened
his eyes. He saw his wife kneeling
over him.

thur she whispered. Are you hurt?

He sprang to his feet, staring att
her in bewilderment. There was not

down, he could see none on himself.

They fell into each others arms.
In the distance were the dwindling

uninjured. And, as they stood there,
they saw a troop of cavalry ride
down the street, driving the mutt

down with their swords.

PREVENT LOSSES TO MANURE
Waste In United States Annually ls
Placed at $7oo, ,ooo, ,ooo-crop
Yields Increased.

1t has been carefully estimated
that the value of farm manure wasted
in the United States annually is $780,
100000. This amount would build a
fleet Of 100 dreadnaughts or pave
250.000 miles of highway each year.
The wheat crop of 1912 was estimated
at 730,000,000 bushels and allowing
one dollar for every bushel Of wheat
for that year it is evident that the
waste from manure approximately
equals the value of our annual wheat
crop. Dean Alfred Vivian of the col
lege of agriculture, Ohio State univer-
sity, Columbus, points out that ma
nure shed on every farm would pre-
vent the manure losses to great ex-
tent. Such a structure need only to
have a concrete floor. and a covering
which will prevent rains from leach
ing the manure as 1t does in the barn
yard, 1t should be connected with
the stables with litter carrier. When
the manure cannot be hauled directly
to the fields its value will remain the
same by storing Manure handled in
this manner has returned as high as $5
per ton in increased crop yields.
