He was not conscious of the curl
Gus face she turned on him. He was
beginning to freeze, for he had given
her all the robes. 1t was not cold,
even for March, but ten above zero
is cold enough for night journey,
even for a lumberman. He stood
upon the failing log at the back of
the sleigh, shouting to the dogs as
they raced into the road, II miles
from camp, that led toward Shiloh.
Every time he rested the dogs he
went to look at Airline, but always
her eyes we're closed, and he did not
dare to speak to her.
The hours wore on. Morning
came, and they were still five. miles
from Shiloh. He aroused Airline at
the last stopping.
You are better" he said with con-
viction.
The girl stared at him as if she did
not know what had occurred. Then
her eyes Frightened.
/ tlOuSnC-yOu we're Dig jim,
she gasped.
So they rode into Shiloh. The sleigh
drew up outside the doctors house
and Bienaime descended, carrying
Airline in his arms. The doctors face
appeared at the window; he came to
the door.
What is it," he asked.
Smallpox" said Bienaime briefly.
Bring her in, said the doctor.
Bienaime waited in the cold. He
was shiveTing, and he knew he was
doomed; nevertheless he was glad he
had done Big Jim a good turn.
Presently the doctor came out; his
eyes were angry, but his mouth was
twitching.
You've come on a long journey.
It wasn't necessary" he said.

won't matter"
He told her to wait while he har-
messed his dogs. Presently the sleigh
came along the trail, the beasts pull
ing with a will.
Whoa" shouted Bienaime, and
as they lay down in the snow he en-
tered the shack again. The girl was
still huddled over the stove.
Gomez said Bienaime
She stared at him. you mean it,

Francois Bienaime evaded that
question. MY luck" he said q

Alas" said Bienaime, cit is no

well take you"
The girl considered. Yes, that
was true. He had exposed himself
already to the contagiOn; he could
not go back to the lumber camp.
"All right But don't get too near
me-" she said, rising.
Nevertheless Bienaime bundled her
up in the shawl, wrapped her in a |
pair Of blankets and took her IN his |
arms and carried her to the sleigh. |
He placed her there, nesting snugly
among the robes.
''Mush" he said, and the dogs
started.
They raced along the trail. At the
bend Bienaime, looking back, saw
the crowd from the dance hall look
ing after them. He felt his heart leap |
up in exultation. "Mush!" he shout
ed leaning into the sleigh.

ed about month ago when creditors
in the twin cities insisted upon settle

have bought the stock from a twin
city credit association who took over
the stock when Mr.. Fahrenholz left
Morris.
Mr.. Lurie stated to the Tribune
yesterday that he expects tv remain
in Morris and will restock the store
with many of the lines carried by
Mr.. FahrenholZ. He found about
So, 500 worth of goods on the shelves
and most of this was in shoes and
rubbers. "We have heard many nice
things about Morris and have re-
ceived very favorable impression of
the town and its people since my ar
rival" said Mr.. Lurie yesterday.
Local creditors of the old firm ex
pect settlement as soon as the credit
association can adjust matters. 1t is
understood claims are not many or in
large amounts, and that the losses
will not be as heavy as anticipated.
Mr.. Fahrenholz was in business here a
little over year and appeared to be
doing we'll. The real cause of his
reverses was carefully concealed from
his friends. He is now at Mime

The Tribune is in receipt of letter
from the R. j. Reynolds tobacco come
pany whose headquarters are at Phil
adelphia but whose factory is located
at Whist Salem, N. c., telling
of their successes since the company
adopted country newspapers as a
means of advertising their goods.
They regard their business as little
short cf phenomenal, and a most
unusual tribute to the power of good
newspaper advertising. The company
use only the best country newspapers
and of course, selected the Morris
Tribune to tell the public in this
section of the country about their
goods The company makes the
famous Prince Albert smoking to-
bacco and Camel cigarettes.
This company was established in
1875 but it was not till in 1910
that it placed advertising direct with
the country publishers. In less than
six years the Reynolds company
have grown to be world factors in
their line. Its advertising has been
backed with articles of merit and
today there isn't a progressive to-
bacco dealer IN the land who does
not handle Prince Albert and does
not sell lots of it.

Nebraska Man on Visit to Nor.
ris Tells How Peerless Lead

Edward Rothe, of Fontanelle, Neb.
was here several days last week tc
look after his farm interests in the
town Of Swan Lake on which Raynold
kreinke is a tenant. He stated the
crops situation here was about the
Same as it is in Nebraska with a
shade in favor if his home section.
Last year eastern Nebraska was
visited by~rains and floods causing
heavy damage, but this year
Nebraska corn will bring a fair
yield. Mr.. Rothe bought his
land in Swan Lake three years ago
and is we'll satisfied with with his in
yestment.
While in Morris Saturday Mr..
Rothe discussed the political situa-
tlon in his home state and :ventured
the prediction that Hughes will
carry the vote. Bryan's popularity
and influence was waning, hr
thought. and this may be. the reason
for Bryan's announcement that he is
soon to shift his home from Lincoln
to Ashevilie, N. C. AT the democra-
tic convention at Baltimore four years
ago the Nebraska delegation was in
structed for Champ Clark. Bryan
was delegate but he worked for
Wilson. This year he was sidetracted
is delegate.
Mr.. Rothe left for Yankten Satur-
day morning where he will visit a
brother before returning to Fontanelle
which, by the way, is the oldest post
office in Nebraska. Mr.. Roth expects
to return to Morris again next year
and in the meantime Mr.. Kreinke and
family all occupy the Swan Lake
farm.

POTASH IN ACTION.
Interesting Researches Made In Cali.
fornia and Utah.

1otnld ana OtaO'
When the Arendt experiments cstab.
lishcd the fact that potash was with.
drawn from the formed grain to the
stalk and leaves when ripcning Of the
grain proceeded, studies We're made to
obtain new data on the action Of pot
ash. This led TO comparison Of the
action Of soda, rs 1t was found to be
also very active In the circulation Of
sap, and one cNpcrlmentcr drew the
conclusion from his work that the two
alkalS, Soda and potash, cXcrted prl.
marily the same function in promoting
circulation Of sap, Indeed he went
so far as TO claim that these two aka
lis were practically interchangeable
and could hc used to replace one an.
other In fcrili2iug. This naturally led
to some interesting researches, and
there is some confirmation of the
theory that, while potash made mel.
low juicy fruit ana It's withdrawal
from grain resulted in hardening, soda
gave less juice, but lrmcr fruit Some
practical everyday confirmation Of
this has been observed on soda alkali
soils in California and Utah when
potash was used as a fertilizer. This
brings to mind an old custom of grain
farmers using chloride of soda salt
to harden and strengthen their grain
stalks or, as il was put, to make the
grain stand up.
This must not be interpreted as an
excuse for dispensing with potash
when fertilizers are needed for the
special purposes which potash is
known TO meet One of the pcculiarl.
ties the fertilizer man notices among
growers is that they seem overanXlOuS
to dispense with this Ingredient in ap-
piled fertilizers. They reason, for IN
stance, that as grain does not carry
much potash it is unimportant But
they should consider that without a
free supply Of potash for the plant
the nitrogen and phosphorus com
pounds would not he carried to the
flower and seed, even If taken into the
leaf and stem.
