The wind died down slightly whom the

words became audible to those on the
platform and in tho front ranks Of tho
crowd. Many took on their hats and
listened intently.
Tho President took of his hat at the
first cheers. but the wind was so cold

The President finished his address at
1908 o'clock. Prolonged cheering fol-
lowed. Immediately the space in front
of the stand was cleared to make way
for the Presidents carriage. Chief
Justice White was the first to con-
President and Mrs. Wilson. Others in
the inaugural party extended congratu-

being pushed back to make way for the
carriage to escort them TO the White

First came the President and Mrs

troops. police and secret service men.
Then came the Vice President and Mrs

Even you," and he turned luminous
glance on the withered and shaking
hag, "must recall those early years
when you were child ut your moth
er's breast. If you have had children
of your own, you must have felt the
divine instincts of mother. You were
ready to risk life itself to bring a child
into the world. You must have been
prepared to sacrifice that same life
over and over again for the sake OF
your offspring while it was still a wee
mite looking at you, and you only, for
help and sustenance. 1 beseech you
then, woman and men, when you go
away from this house, to search into
your own hearts and inquire whether
the selfishness which now inspires you
is really worth while. If my example
can assist you in finding the better

plore you to pay heed to what have
said"
Two-Gun Jake strobe forward, and
stood in front of the prisoners.
Though one arm was out of action, the
other was as efficient as ever, and his
right hand twisted in businesslike-
way towards hip pocket.
"Boys," he snapped, "I needn't tell
any of you that I'm mighty quick on
the draw, an, to that extent, what I
have to say must go. I can't talk like
Mr.. Burton, but can make my mean-
in clear. We're quits with this guy
here an now. Is any of you-all par
tic'lar anxious to argy the point?"
No one will ever know just what
might have happened but for the inter-
ruption which came from totally I'M
expected quarter. Mrs. Evans could
be restrained no longer. She rushed
in, scattering the startled Hell-cats
right and left, and threw her arms
around her son.
"Thats spoken like my own boy"
she sobbed. II don't care what you've
done, John. It's nothin' to me how

And thus, in the most effective way
conceivable, did John Burton, tehth
marquis of Castleton, find the answer
to his question. He would scoff today
at the conceit that Humanity is in the
Grip of Evil. Conviction came through
love. Had he searched the wide world
he could have found no more beautiful
and gracious partner than the girl
whom he met amidst surroundings
which might well have added one more
to the many establishments of an
eventful career.

FOURTEENTH EPISODE
Humanity Triumphant.
The Appeal.


The fuse was n slow one. Evidently
it had been selected in order to pro-
long the agony. Bill Reilly's nerves,
less under control than Burton's, yield
ed to the strain and he seemed to find
relief in upbraiding the wretches with
whom he once had fraternized but who
now hated him with deadlier malice
than the man they regarded as chiefly
responsible for the gangs threatened
disruption.
But, like all criminals, they were
towards at heart, and fled the danger
zone long before the kissing serpent
between the chairs could release its
true venom,
Burton felt quite resigned to this
last stroke of an outrageous fortune.
Was be ready to die? Did he really
resent being thus reft from life in the
plentitude Of his physical and intel
lectuai powers? He did not know.
Bill Reilly felt some regret that he
had not succeeded in accomplishing
what he set out to do-rescue John
Burton from the hands of the He'll

He regretted he had ventured alone
into the hands of the Hell-cats and

Ing how he might have let Blanche
Griffin be more of help to him in
the work he had cut out for himself.
He wondered whether Grace Coe,
when she heard of his rejoining the
gang, would believe Blanche's story,
that he had done 1t to aid Burton or
would think that he had suffered a
change of heart.
No sooner was the room emptied OF
the cut-throat gang, not one of whom
dnred even the slight risk of watching
the actual explosion of the bomb
through an open window or doorway
than he made u determined effort tC

TEST YOUR SEED
BEFORE PLANTING
Seed Should Be Tested To In.
sure a Good Stand Says
Mr.. Page

Little Rock, Mar. THE
rainy and bad weather of
March will give the farmers
some time that cannot be used
in the field, which will provide
golden opportunity to make
some easy money through the
process of saving future eXpen-
ses. Get you gallon of two of
good ready mixed paint and a
paint brush, and when the wea-
Their is too bad and the ground
too wet to pillow, gather up all
the pillow tools, moving ma
chimes, single and double-trees
and all farm implements, and
repaint them. Try to give them
two good coats of paint. 1t will
lengthen the life of the tools
and implements and save you
lots of money. Few farmers do
this, but those who do make
their implements last about
twice as long as those who
don't. Tools and implements
are high now and money saved
in this way is money made.
Another way to make easy
money is to test our seed when
you can't do outdoor work.
Select your seed corn if you
have not already, and take six
grains from each ear. Plant
these in tin cans or boxes filled
with moist dirt and keep in the
house to see if the seed will
come up. Take the grains from
different parts of the ear. Also
try out the other field seeds by
a similar method. Find out if
your seed is good before you
plant it. Remember you are
going to have to cultivate a
poor stand just as much as
good stand. A good stand also
saves replanting. Replanting is
tedious and hard work, and
seldom pays. 1t Is nOthlng snort
of a calamity to have to pillow
up a crop on account of poor
stand, and by testing your seed
beforehand you will seldom, if
ever, have to pillow up and re-
plant on account of a poor
stand.
Keep your brood soWs, your
COWS and heifers. All good
breeding animals are high, and
going higher. Remember this.
Write me for any information
you need on the farm. l am
your servant and here to serve
you.

PLANT A GARDEN AND

The food situation in this
country is none too bright; as
the war clouds continue to
thicken, the outlook takes on a
more serious aspect. The con-
tinual advance in the price of
foodstuffs should not affect the
man who lives on farm, re-
gardless of how acute the stu
alton might develop, and it
will not, provided we raise our
food supplies. In the past it
may have been more profitable
for the head of the house to
give money crops and the live
stock all his attention and leave
the garden to his wife or not
have one at all. But the situa-

MORE MONEY IF HAND
LED RIGHT

With hogs at II cents there
is money in the swine industry
for every farmer i'll Arkansas
but there is more money in the
business for a man who will
give it particular attention and
provide plenty Of forage crops
which will give good grazing
throughout the year, thus re-
ducing the cost of production
to a minimum. The profit in
any product of farm lies be-
tween the cost of production
and the selling price. Too often
we do not give the cost of pro-
dueing any commodity enough
thought and attention. We
think only of the selling price.
Every farmer should plan
to have more hogs this year
than ever before. He should
protect himself by having his
hogs immunized against hog
cholera and sh0dld endeaVor
to supply plenty of forage crops
for these animals. In the past
we have too often tried to raise
our hogs on corn alone or we
have turned them out on mast
to hustle for themselves. Both
Of these methods are wrong.
The first one is too expensive
and the latter gives only a
small amount of pork quality
and the hogs are always ex-
posed to disc asses.
