CHAPTER XIV.
FLIGHT.

De Spain, catching Mans arm, spoke
hurriedly, and they hastened outside
toward the kitchen. 1--WE must get
away quick" he said as she buttoned
her coat. And, knowing how she suf-
fered in what she was doing, he drew
her into the shelter of the porch and
caught her close to him. I'll take you
straight to Mrs. Jeffries. When you
are ready, you'll marry me; Wen mnke
our peace with your Uncle Duke to-
gether. Great God! What q night !!
This way, dearie."
"No, to the stable. Henry Where's
your horse?"
"Under the pine, and yours, too. l
found the pony, but I couldn't find
your saddle, Man."
II know where it's hidden. Let's
get the horses"
"Just minute. l stuck my rifle un-
der this porch" He stopped and felt
below the stringer. Rising In a mo-
ment with the weapon on his arm, the
two hurried around the end of the
house toward the pine tree. They had
almost reached this when u murmur
unlike the sounds of the storm made
De Spain halt his companion.
"What is it2" she whispered. He
listened intently. Without speaking,
he took Nan and retreated to the cor
ner of the house. "There Is somebody
in that plne," he whispered, waiting
for me TO come after the horses. Sas-
soon may have found them. I'll try
1t out, anyway, before take chance
Stand back here. Nam"
He put her behind the corner of the
house, threw his rifle to his shoulder
and fired as nearly as he could In the
darkness toward and just above the
pine. Without an instant's hesitation
n pistol shot answered from the direc
tion in which he had fred, and ir
another moment small fusillade fol
lowed. "By the Almighty" mutteret
De Spain, 1--WE must have our horses

those fellows off their perch"
She caught his arm. 'What are yo,

THE BRUCE MARKET
HAS CAUSED TALK
Buyers Have Shipped Ten Cars of Pc.
tatOes to Ladysmith's One
Cabbage and 'BagaS

Ladysmith has shipped four cars of
potatoes this fall. There have been
shipped over 80 cars from Bruce The
Bruce buyers have been paying from
90c to $1.25 a bushel for potatoes, the
top price being for red potatoes. In the
same time Ladysmith market was
from Toe to 90c The difference in the
price has been the subject of great
deal of discussion. Farmers have
hauled their potatoes through Lady
smith to get them to Bruce and the
higher market. This has not been the
case with white stock, but for red only
as the red market is larger in that sec
ton and some big growers offered
enough to make car lots easy. The
fact seems to be that the farmer has
been the beneficiary of a speculative
fight at Bruce and instead of being the
victim of the usual combinations and
price-fiXing the potato grower has got
the money.
But Bruce too seems to have beaten
Ladysmith on cabbage. None have
been shipped from Ladysmith while 4
car loads have gone from Bruce. The
price paid was $500 to $4,000 a ton.
This is a fine cabbage growing coun-
try and with prices such as these cab
bage is a profitable crop
In the past week II cars of bagas
have been shipped from Bruce. The
buyers are paying $500 ton. Nc
Gill & Son are doing the most of the
buying.
Potatoes are selling Friday morning
in Ladysmith at Toe for white stock,
the Bruce price is soc and $1O0 for
reds

RUSK GETS HOGS
FOR HER FARMS
Many Trios of High Bred Ami
mails Sold as Result of 500
Hog Special
CROWDS VISIT CAR
OF PRIZE SWINE
Rusk County Already Has One Drove
of Red Hogs Feeding on Cut
Over Glover Lands

mo, sir" said the pessimistic farmer
as he looked at the red hogs in the pen
on the 500 Hog Special as it stood at
Ladysmith station, Monday afternoon,
Il amt going to have no such hogs on
my place. How could you get a barrel
big enough to scald One?"
He was looking at hog, 2 years
old, raised on clover, weighing $40
pounds. and which l.. f. Atwater, of
Bangor, Wis, the owner and breeder,
had just stated he might sell for 1000.
There were eight hogs on the train,
valued at $4,000 They were Duroc-
Jerseys and bred up to the highest
point of perfection. They came into
Ladysmith Monday noon in a baggage
car and were visited by great number
Of people up to 9 o'clock at night They
were the property of O. II. Farrar of
WabaSha, Mimi, and l.. F. AtWater &
Sons, of Bangor, Wis In the car was
an array of prize ribbons won at state
and other fairs and swine shows
Hogs for Rusk County.
Land department of the 500 looked
after the railroad end. Z. f. SevOlt
who has made motion pictures for the
500 covering every phase of scenery
and industry Joined the party here. J.
o. Sinclair, of the State Bank, was kept
busy explaining the plan by which the
farmers of RuSk county could buy
trio Of high bred pigs for 500 and
start the hog raising industry in this
section. The full quota of pigs for the
county was placed and more were
asked for. There was limit placed
for each section
The hog special was started out by
the 500 for the purpose of demonstrate
ing that the finest hogs i'll the world
can be raised right in this Upper Wis
consin country.
This special visited towns on the
line starting at COlfax then around
to Prentice and east as far as Glad
stone. From Ladysmith the route lay
west to OSceOla which was the last
stop finishing the tour Nov 10.
HUGS 1HIItc Uu Sut-OteF+ LdIfuS
1t was not generally known before
but Ben FaaSt has on the RuSk Farms,
$50 of the red hogs, some of them
thOrOughbredS and others high grades,
and on the farm i'll Sawyer county he
has an equal number.
No one" said Mr. Faast to the
NeWS-Budget representative, can APP
preciare the work Il hog will do on a
place until he has seen him at it, They
root up poplar and other small trees
and brush, get down to the young roots
and actually grow fat on this food
With clover and a little barley or mixed
feeds they will put OH fat rapidly.
They root up the cut-over lands so
that with Il top seeding good crop of
pasture grass can be grown to follow
the hog. | am convinced that the hog
is about the best investment that can
be made i'll growing for Upper Wiscon-
sim
IN the afternoon about 1000 feet of
reel advertising "Pasturing for Profit
in Upper Wisconsin were shown at the
Unique to those who cared to see what
is being done here at home. These pic
lures are being shown all over Iowa
and Illinois to advertise the state.

is logic. There is food for thought.
There Is a practical plan for commun-
ity development and betterment. There
is a world of JOY happiness, fun ana
frolic. There is the opportunity Of
meeting and greeting friends and your
neighbors. Above all, there Is a drama
Of heart interest and an opera of great
magnitude with varied appeal.
Patriotism Predominant.
Predominant this year will be the
message of patriotism. There are pa
triotic songs which will be sung by
the audience. Flags will be displayed
in %profusion. Patriotism will be ev-
e%rywhere. Not too conspicuous, of
course, but enough to properly balance
a great program and to keep America
and its patriotic principles in the fore
ground at a time of critical moment
in the nations history.
Music to Suit All
In the more popular lines of music
the Althea Players, six charming
young ladies'; the Metropolitan Men
Singers, a male quartet of tremen-
dous ability; Peg" Hill and the Ha.
waiians will prove strong numbers. In
the list of artists will also be found
the Keller-Wille company and the Pin
afore orchestra.
Tucumcari has reason to be espec-
tally proud of the lecturers who come
here this season. There is Edward
Amhert OFT Of Sour Grapes" fame;
then comes Lou Beauchamp, the HUI
morous Philosopher; William Rainey
Bennett, THE Mar Who Can; and
Thomas Brooks Fletcher, with a big
and important message of inspiration
and encouragement. Another great
lecturer will be announced later.
The Funny Girl Coming
Ada Roach is coming. She is the
original funny girl" She will make
you laugh and laugh. Ducrot the ma
gician will almost make his audience
