sullenly. The dogged brute in him

"Won't they?"
"No. | tried it--once."
"Only once?"
He gave q short laugh and stopped
to pat the collie, saying, "Dont bother
me, little path-master"
"No-I won't" she replied, slowly.
She went away in the moonlight
saying goodnight and calling her
collie, and he walked up the slope
to the house, curiously at peace with
himself and the dim world hidden in
the shadows around.
He was not sleepy. As he had no
candles, he sat down in the moonlight,
idly balancing his rifle on his knees.
From force of habit he loaded it,
then rubbed the stock with the palm
of his hand, eyes dreaming
Into the tangled garden a whip
poorwill flashed on noiseless wings,
rested moment, unseen, then broke
out into husky, breathless calling. A
minute later the whispering call came
from the forests edge, then farther
away, almost inaudible in the thicken-
ing dusk.
And, as he sat there, thinking Of the
little path-master, he became aware
of a man Sinking along the moon-lit
road below. His heart stopped, then
the pulses went bounding, and his
fingers closed on his rifle.
There were other men in the moon
light now-he counted five-and he
called out to them, demanding their
business.
"You're our business" shouted back
young Byram. Cit up an dust out o

McCloud, grimly.
Then old Tansey bawled: "Yew low

There was silence, then the same
voice: HBe yew calculatin' tew mosey,

"Ye be7" replied q new voice;
"then come aout O. that or we'll snake

Byram began moving towards the
house, shotgun raised.
Stop" cried McCloud, jumping
to his feet
But Byram came on, gun levelled,
and McCloud retreated to his front
door.

Island. In spite of ceaseless efforts on
the part of the central government
ana each prefectural government in
their behalf, which give them allotted
portions of land, provide them with a
habitation, give them instructions in
farming and furnish them with nee
essary education. they nevertheless
show no sign of benefiting from tho
care taken of them. Japanese writ
ers term them an indolent, improvi-
dent race and declare that both men
and women are addicted to drinking
and appear to regard anything done
for their benefit as a nuisance.
Women Very industrious.
The male Amos pass their time in
hunting and fishing. The women are
described as more industrious. Bear
hunting lis the great occupation of the
men but the bears, like the Amos
themselves, are becoming fewer. The
men have dark hair and long, thick
boards. Hair is sacred to them.

SEASONS SUCCESS
n
Lime Dressing in Winter Best
Safe Plan Out
lined

What will assure the chances OF
clover to be sown in the wheat field
in spring? Glover is so difficult to
secure that the full benefit of every
factor contributing to favor it's
growth must be taken advantage of.
That some form of lime is needed is
a matter of course. The question IS,
whether mere sweetening of the soil
is sufficient. If so, an application
shortly previous to seeding, in the
customary manner, will do. But
sweetening is only half the benefit OF
lining. Given time for action, it lib
crates potash from insoluble COM
binations in the soil.
While nitrates stimulate the
growth of true grasses, potash is the
essential element of success for the
clovers. To reduce the amount or
escape the cost of this expensive fer
tilizer, a vigorously acting form of
lime, given time to work, will cut the
bill. This means winter lining of the
wheat field. Is there any danger in
this? To this Professor A. e. Gran
than, agronomist of the Delaware
Agricultural College, says:
There is no danger in top-dress-
ing the wheat during the winter with
freshly slaked lime, providing the
ground is frozen or when plants are
dry"
The agronomist is strongly sup
ported by the Ohio practice. Mr..
Clarence M. Baker a competent OBJ
server, writes: Even where wheat
has been sown and fertilized heavily.
winter lining is being practiced.
After the wheat is up and when the
ground is not soft, lime can be ap-
piled and allowed to work in with al
ternate freezings and thawings. Such
a practice is being followed in many
sections of Ohio"

ENGLAND.


London, Feb. 20.-The huge
amount of money which seems to he
available for the purchase of works
of art in England at the present time
is attracting the attention of treasury
officials. Competition for works of
first, secondary and minor masters is
keen with values soaring in price. A
large proportion of the purchases are
known to have been made on behalf
of America but in expert quarters it
is believed that quite a proportion of
the buying Is being done on German
account. Belief is expressed that from
funds remaining in neutral lands, and
even in this country, Germans are
anxious to make an investment in
works of art which can remain here
for realization after the war.

The old gentleman, who is fond of joke, pretended to read as follows, Dear Sir: Your crop-eared, bandy-legeed, sniffied-nOse boy needs spanking. There are no shingles in this school sufficiently heavy for the purpose. :. Will you kindly take him into the woodshed and administer a much-needed correctionT Everybody at the table laughed except the young ster. With a perfectly grave face he said, "Oh, grandfather, I should not have thought that you would preserve all these years a note that was writ ten to your father when you was a boy"
