CHAPTER XXI.
At Sleepy Cat.

Nothing in nature, not even the
storm itself, is so cruel as the beauty
Of the after calm. In the radiance of
the sunshine next day De Spain, deli
rious and muttering, was taken to the
hospital at Sleepy Cat. In an adjoin-
ing room lay Nan, moaning reproaches
at those who were torturing her reluc-
family back to life. Day and night the
doctors worked over the three. The
town, the division, the stagemen and
the mountain men watched the out
come Of the struggle. From as far as
Medicine Bend railroad surgeons came
to aid In the fight.
De Spain cost the most acute anxi-
ETY.. The crux of the battle, after the
three lives were held safe, centered on
the effort to save De SPANS arm-the
one he had chosen to lose, If he must
lose one, when he strapped 1t to the
whiGletree. The day the surgeons
agreed that IL his life were to be saved
the arm must come off at the shoulder
a gloom fell on the community.
In lifetime of years there can come
to the greater part of us but a few
days, few hours, sometimes no more
than n single moment, to show of what
stuff we are really made. Such a crisis
came that day to Nan. Already she
had been wheeled more than once into
De SPANS room, to sit where she
could help WOO him back to life. The

Nan OF the decision. In her hospital

INJURY BY CORN.EAR WORMS
Kansas Agricultural College Finds 1t
Possible to Control Little Pest
by Spraying.

Nearly all roasting ears on the mar
ket in recent years have been injured
by the corn-ear worm, and those known
to be free from the injury a be sold
at from 5 to 10 cents more per dozen.
For six years the department Of en-
tomology of the Kansas State Agricul-
tural college and experiment station
has been studying the worm and has
found that a large proportion Of the
eggs deposited in the summer are
placed on the fresh corn silks. From
these eggs the worms that injure the
ears originate. The young larvae be-
gin feeding on the silks and eat their
way down into the ear. 1t Is, there
fore, possible to control much Of the
injury by keeping the silks sprayed
during the silking period.
Powdered a~rsenate Of lead has been
found to be the most efficient poison.
A rs per cent mixture Of arsenate Of
lead, with air-slaked lime or land plas-
ter is practically as good as the poison
alone. The dust Is shaken upon the
silks from an ordinary cheesecloth bag
or flour sack. Under average weather
conditions four or five applications at
intervals Of three or four days are suf-
fcient.

JAPANESE HONOR
LIBERTY'S FRIEND
Special Ambassador Reafirms His
Country's Devotion to Cause of
Freedom.

Washington, Aug. 26.-Viscount
Ishii, the special ambassador from
Japan, placing a wreath of roses and
chrysanthemums on the tomb of
George Washington at Mount Yer
non, claimed the right for Japan to
honor Washington's memory and re-
affirmed her devotion to the allies
cause and the principles for which
they wage battle.
The members of the Japanese mis-
SIGN, with Secretary and Mrs. DAN
iels as hosts, sailed down the Poto-
mac on the presidents yacht, May
flower. Accompanying them were
Ambassador Sato, Secretaries Lam
sing, Redfeld and Baker, Postmaster
General Burleson, Speaker Clark,
members of the senate and house,
high officers of the army, navy and
marine corps members of the mis-
sions of European countries and
many prominent people in diplomatic
and official life.
With the red sun of Japan on a
white field waving with the Stars and
Stripes above, the representatives of
one of the greatest civilized nations
on earth with those of the youngest
paid a remarkable tribute to the
memory of the only mar who has
alike been honored by the nations
warning for democracy.
Not Exclusively Americas
The viscount said:
"In the name of the gracious en-
peror, and representing all the liber-
ty-loving people who own his sway, l
stand today in the sacred presence
not to eulogize the name of Wash
ington-that were presumption, but
to offer the simple tribute of q peo-
pies reverence and love.
Washington was an American, but
America, great as she is, powerful
as she is, certain as she is of her
splendid destiny, can lay no eXclu-
sive claim to this immortal name.
Washington is now a citizen of the
world; today he belongs to to all
mankind.
Japan claims entrance to this
holy circle. She yields to none in e v
erence and respect-nor is there any
gulf between the ancient East and
the newborn West too deep and wide
for the hearts and the understanding
of her people to cross.

pie, then I place this wreath upon the
tomb of Washington with reverent
hands; and in so doing it is my proud
privilege to again pledge my country
to those principles of right and JUS
tice which have given Immortality to
the name of Washington"
In introducing the special ambas-
sador, Secretary Daniels recalled
that, when in the early sos it was
determined to send an American mis-
sion to Japan, it was headed by a
naval officer, Commodore Perry, who
in addition to being an officer, had
the added accomplishments of being
a diplomat.
"Today," said the secretary, with
stronger ties than ever, out of
the threads Of our mutual participa-
ton in the world wide struggle to in
sure to all mankind the right to live
their own lives and pursue their own
national ideals, Japan and America
pause at the tomb of Washington in
the hope that there may fall upon us
all a double portion of his spirit of
faith in the triumph of the right and
his readiness to make the supreme
sacrifice for the principles for which
America, Japan and their allies are
contending in the area of war"

Long AWdited ODert Act Is
 M Balances

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.--- Many officials here are inclined to the belief that Germany con- mitted the long awaited overt act that will precipitate war in the sinking of the big Cunard Iin- CT, Laconia, without warning. From all reports, the liner was attacked and sunk without giving minutes notice to the passen- gers to escape. This is cOnsid- cred in official circles a well de- fined alliance of all powers, and a disregard for neutrafs rights on the high seas and contrary to former understandings. Some contend that it is only a matter of a few hours before war will be declared between the two coun- tries.

NEW PADS IN PARIS

PARIS, Feb. 27.-The latest fad here at present is to have a doll made re sembling in form and features the per son who desired to hand down to pos terity an image of himself. To carry out the scheme the owners are having their dolls dressed in the same clothes as they have, so that the fashions of the day may be faithfully portrayed to their descendants.
 It is believed to have commenced with the caricaturing of celebrities in the form of dolls with heads formed to accentuate the characteristic feat urcs of the original. Now everyone is having themselves reproduced in this manner.
