The captain had spent weeks on the
island. He had put all the results OF
|hls Investigations into his letter to
Donald. He described deliberately the
structure of the monsters, tracing the
qualifications Of the gills, air bladders,
FINS and flippers.
Lastly, he told Donald the secret
bf controlling them. And this was so
amazing that MacBeard almost doubt
led 1t.
Unfortunately. two pages were miss

However. MacBeard cared little for
this In his supreme joy. His dreams
took definite shape at last, rushing into
The concrete with a violence that sent
him into an ecstasy. He saw the man
bf the future. the superman, who was
already at hand, irresistible by reason
Of his numbers, strength and cunning.
And he saw himself. the ruler OF a new
world which had never heard of the
eighth commandment.
Next morning he left Baltimore In
his m%otorboat. 1t was constructed so
ms to be practically unsuitable, and he
had stored Il with provisions, gaso-
line and instruments. He had several
weeks supplies on board. He vas de-
pendent on no one.
He started northward at once,
passed within a few miles Of the F55
upon his course, and reached Fair
island. When he set foot upon its
rocky, lonely shores. he knew that at
last his time had come. Hts revenge
upon the race was ripening, and he
meant to exercise II to the full.
His first act was to explore the
island. He discovered with his plum.
pnets that Masterman had been correct
in tracing the prolongation of the
south spur of the continental shelf. BE
discovered that Fair island was thc
peak of a subterranean range ascend

While the food administration is
urging the substitution of oleomar-

lard and animal fats, the thrifty South
Dakota housewife needs no urging to
make this substitution. Consideration
CT the price OF oieo as compared with
the price OF lard is enough to cause
the average South Dakota housewife
to order the vegetable fats. Accord

ministrator for South Dakota, the az.

Take Care of Pigs.

The shortage of pork may be met
partially by the proper carc of fall
pigs, says B. l.. Thompson, associate
professor of animal husbandry at State
college. Keep the fall pigs fairly
warm and dry. and feed them on bone
and muscle producing diet so they
will develop a strong framework upon
which they may lay fat when being
finished. Professor Thompson sug-
gests the following: 1T is very i'm
portant hat the fall pigs be fed so
that they will not only make salts
factory gains but will also make a
profit on the feed. Corn, being low in
both protein and mineral matter-both
of which are necessary to growth in
bone and muscle-must be supplement-
ed by feeds which supply an aband-
ance of thsse two materials. The sup
