but all these fellows did then, and
poor Nolan himself went on, still un-
consciously or mechanically
This is my own. my native land!
Then they all saw something was
to pay but he expected to get through,
I suppose, turned a little pale. but
plunged on

From wandering on a foreign strand?-
II such there breathe. go. mark him well.
BY this time the men were all be-
side themselves, wishing there was any
way to make him turn over two pages +;
but he had not quite presence Of mind
for that; he gagged a little, colored
crimson, and staggered on:
For him no minstrel raptures swell:
High though his titles, proud his name,
Boundless his wealth as wish can claim,
Despite these titles. power and pelf.
The wretch, concentered all in SELF

lips, 1--WE did not see him for two
months again. And had to make up
some beggarly story to that English
surgeon why I did not return his Wal
ter Scott to him."
That story shows about the time
when Nolan's braggadocio must have
broken down. At first, they said, he
took a very high tone, considered his
Imprisonment a mere farce, affected
to enjoy the voyage, and all that; but
Phillips said that after he came out Of
his stateroom he never was the same
man again. He never read aloud again,
unless 1t was the Bible or Shakespeare,
or something else he was sure Of. But
it was not that merely. He never en-
tered in with the other young men ex-
actly as a companion again. He was
always shy afterward, when I knew
him, very seldom spoke, unless he
was spoken to, except to a very few
friends. He lighted up occasionally,
I remember late in his life hearing
him fairly eloquent on something

which had been suggested to him by
one Of Flechier's sermons, but gener-
ally he had the nervous, tired look Of
a heart-wounded man.
When Captain Shaw was coming
home-if, as say. it was Shaw-rath-
er to the surprise of everybody they
made one Of the Windward islands,
and lay of and on for nearly a week.
The boys said the officers were sick
of salt junk. and meant to have tur-
tie soup before they cdme home. But
after several days the Warren came to
the same rendezvous; they exchanged
signals; she sent to Phillips and these
homeward-bound men letters and pa
pers, and told them she was outward
bound, perhaps to the Mediterranean,
and took poor Nolan and his traps on
the boat back to try his second cruise.
He looked very blank when he was told
to get ready to join her. He had
known enough Of the signs Of the sky
to know that till that moment he was
going shome." But this was a dis
tinct evidence Of something he had not
thought Of, perhaps. that there was no
going home for him, even to a prison.
And this was the first Of some twenty
such transfers, which brought him
sooner or later Into half our best ves-
sells, but which kept him all his life
at least some hundred miles from the
country he had hoped he might never
hear Of again.

SMALL EGGS LACK VITALITY
Reject All Those Weighing Less Than
Two Ounces for Hatchinq-
Also Those Misshapen.

There Is good reason to believe that
small eggs and lack of vitality go to-
gether. Reject for setting purposes
all eggs that weigh less than two
ounces each, for small eggs produce
small chicks.
A breeder has no business to send
out small, misshapen eggs and If such
are received the buyer has good cause
to expect poor results.

NEW AUTO TAX LAW
TO INCREASE REVENUE
Dealers Must Take Out Separate Ii
cemse for Each Make Of Car Han
dled-State's Attorney Explains.

North Dakota auto dealers must
take out q separate license for each
make Of car they handle under the
law passed at the last session Of the
state legislature and in effect at pres
ent, States Attorney Theodore B. Ell
ton declares.
The Grand Forks county prosecutor
points out that the law provides that
a dealer must either pay a license fee
of SIS for each make Of car which he
handles and so cents each for any IL
cense tax in ces of two, which he
may require for his demonstration
cars. or else take out a separate IL
cense on each oar used in any way.
Some confusion exists among auto
users Of the state in regard to the
present status Of the auto tax rate for
private cart under the new law.
At present the situation 10 the same
as formerly. a license fee Of So being
required for each car and each "a

STATE SELLS TWINE
AT LESS THAN COST

Bismarck, N. D., April 2o.-North
Dakota just now is selling at 14h
cents binder Irvine manufactured
from first grade sisal fibre which can
not be purchased in any market for
less than II cents. The states pres
ent stock of sisal was bought at lower
prices, but the fact remains that the
p%enitentiary plant cannot buy a new
pound of sisal for the price which it is
now receiving for its manufactured
product. There is a surplus of more
than 100000 in the binder Irvine
fund, but 1t is, doubtful whether the
state will have sufficient ready money
to buy its seasons run Of sisal at the
present mark. The price may, Of
course, go down. with the importation
