did WintOn tell you that himself1"
demanded the Scotsman.
The answer of his employee came In
q murmur so low that the words were
lost. But the name used told Gordon
good deal. The commissioner of the
general land Office at Washington
signed his letters Harold B. WintOn.
Strong tossed the stub of his ciga-
rette overheard and nodded good night.
A glance at his watch told Elliot that
it was past two o'clock. He rose,
stretched and sauntered back to his
staterOom.
The young man had just taken off
his coat when there came the hurried
rush of trampling feet upon the hur-
he-heard a cry Of alarm. He could hear
the shuffling of footsteps and the sound
of heavy bodies moving.
Someone lifted a frightened shout.
"Help! Help!" The call had come,
he thought, from Selfridge.
Gordon flung open the door Of his
room, raced along the deck and took
the stairs three at a time. A huddle
of men swayed and shifted heavily in
front of him.
Even as he ran toward the mass,
Elliot noticed that the only sounds
were grunts, stertorous breathings,
and the scraping Of feet. The attack
ers wanted no publicity. The attacked
was too busy to waste breath in futile
cries. He was fighting for his life
Two men, separated from the crowd,
lay on the deck farther aft One was
on top of the other, his fingers clutch
ing the gullet of his helpless opponent.
The agony Of the man underneath
found expression only in the drumming
heels that beat tattoo on the floor.
The spasmOdic feet were ShOd in Ok
ford tans Of an ultra-fashiOnable cut
No doubt the owner Of the smart foot
wear had been pulled dOS7n as he was
escaping TO shout the alarm.
The runner hurdled the two in his
stride and plunged straight at the
struggling tangle. He caught one man
by the shoulders from behind and flung
him back. He struck hard, smashing
blows as he fought his way to t;sa heart
Of the melee. Heavy-fsted miners with
corded muscles landed upon his face
and head and neck. he did not care
q straw for the odds.
The sudden attack of Elliot had
opened the pack. The man battling
against a dozen was Colby Macdonald.
The very number of his foes had
saved him so far from being rushed
overheard or trampled down. His coat
and shirt were in rags. He was bruised
and battered and bleeding from the
chest up. But he was still sTugging
hard.
They had him pressed to the rail. A
huge miner, head down, had his arms
around the waist of the Scotsman and
was trying to throw him overheard.
Macdonald lashed out and landed flush
upon the cheek of man attempting to
brain him with a billet of wood. He
hammered home a short-arm jolt
against the ear of the giant who was
giving him the bear grip.
The big miner grunted, but hung on
like a football tackler. With a jerk
he raised Macdonald from the floor

The Scotsman pushed himself back
from the boat and fell into an easy
stroke. Nevertheless, there was power
In it, for he reached the Hannah be-
fore the rescued miner had been
helped to the deck.
A dozen passengers, crowded on the
lower deck, pushed forward eagerly
to see. Among them was Selfridge, his
shirt and collar torn loose at the
neck and his immaculate checked suit
dusty and disheveled. He was wearing
pair of up to date Oxford pumps.
Macdonald shook himself like New
fOundland dog. He looked around
with sardonic amusement, a grin on
his swollen and disf1gured face.
"Quite pleasant welcome home" he
said ironically, his cold eyes fixed on
face that looked as if It might have
been kicked by healthy mule. "Eh,
Trelawney2"
The Cornishman glared at him, and
turned away with low, savage oath.
"Are you hurt, Mr.. MacdOnald?'' %
asked the captain.
''Hurt! Not at all, captain. 1 cut

answer.
There's been some dirty work going
on. I'll see the men are punished, sir"
"Forget it, captain. I'll attend to

insolent glance made the half-circle

a long time and the one in the ac-
companying illustration seems to offer
the desired convenience. The nose
bag is mounted on somewhat rigid
frame and is supported from the up
per and lower parts of the horses's
collar so that it is held firmly in place
in front of the animal and at the same
time gives the horse all the freedom of
his head that may be desired. In adj
dition to this advantage it also saves
feed for a great deal of valuable ma
terial Of this character is lost in the
endeavors of the animal to effect a
transfer of the grain from the bottom
of the bag to his mouth. This is gen.
orally accomplished by tossing his head
in the air and catching the grain in

FAvORs TWO LITTER SYSTEM
Advantages and Disadvantages of
Plan Are Enumerated by Expert
of Missouri College.

A system of swine management
which is growing in popularity is that
of keeping on the farm a breeding
herd large enough to produce all the
pigs needed for feeding. The sows are
bred to produce, as nearly as possible,
two filters per year. SOws are usually
bred in November so that the pigs will
be narrowed during the late February,
or early March. The pigs are weaned
at eight or ten weeks of age and sows
bred again for September litter. The
practice of raising two filters year
is more or less successful but if three
filters are produced in two years, re-
suits are about as good as can be ex-
pected. The pigs produced in this
way are crowded from birth, and are
marketed at from six to eight months
of age, when they weigh 20O-25O
pounds. The advantages Of the sys-
tenn are listed by L. A. Weaver of the
Missouri College of Agriculture.
1. Gains are put on young growing
animals. Such animals gain more eco
nomically than older animals. 2. Maxi
mum returns may be had from money
invested in breeding herds. In other
words brood sows are kept busy the
whole year. 3. Money is turned most
quickly. 4. Twice as many hogs may
be fattened. The spring litter is fin
ished and put on the market in the
fall and the fall litter is marketed in
the spring. 5. This method gives
minimum risk from hog cholera and
other losses since hogs are held on
the farm only a short time.
The disadvantages of the system
are: 1. The system requires make
mum amount of grain and minimum
amount of forage, and cheap feeds. 2.
Early spring and fall pigs require
more care than late spring pigs.

YES! LIFT A CORN
OFF WITHOUT PAIN!
Cincinnati man tells how to dry
up a corn or caIlus so it lifts
off with fingers.

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because few
drops of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens so it can be
lifted off, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle Of freezone costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take off every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, as it
is inexpensive and is said not to irri-
tate the surrounding skin.
IL your druggist hasn't any freezone
tell him to get small bottle for you
from his wholesale drug house.-adV.
