the inn where Mettlich had spent his
uneasy hours.
She had expected to go to the lodge,
but at nine o'clock that night Kari
came to her, knocking at the door of
her room and entering without writing
for permission.
The room was small and coy with
freight. Her scarlet cloak, flung over
a chair, made a dash of brilliant color.
Two lighted candles on high carved
chest, and between them plaster fig
ure of the Mother and Child, built-in
bed with white curtains-that was the
room.
Before the open fire Olga Loschek
sat in her low chair. She wore still
her dark dress; and veil, ready to be
dOnned at the summons Of message
from Karl, trailed across her knee. In
the freight she looked very young
young and weary. Karl, who had
come hardened to q scene, found her
appealing, Utmost pathetic.
She rose at his entrance and, after
a moment of surprise, smiled family.
But she said nothing, nor did Karl,
until he had lifted one Of her cold
hands, and brushed it with his lips.
"Well!" he said. "And again,
Olga! !"
"Once again"
She looked up at him. Yes, he was
changed. The old Karl would have

"What things?"
"The truth about the kings condi-
ton, for one. He is dying. The bulle-
tins lie. He is no better"
"So!" said Karl uneasily. "But the
chancellor assured me-" He stopped.
1t was not yet time to speak of the
chancellor's visit
'"The chancellor! He lies, Of course.
How bad things are you may judge
when tell you that hidden passage
from the palace has been opened and
cleared, ready for instant flight"
1t was Karl's turn to be startled.
He rose, and stood staring down at her.
Are you certain of that%
"Certain!" She laughed bitterly

him either, and because he believed i'm

gate, he shook his shaggy head.
So the pilgrimage was arranged.
With due publicity, of course, and due
precaution for safety. BY train to the
foot of the mountains, and then on
foot for the ten miles to Etzel.

preparation in sort of rapt solemn

She glanced up, and catching his

woman would go far. He knew now
that she was jealous. When he spoke
1t was with calculating brutality. "You

So it was arranged Finally ar

fairly. If, knowing it, he persisted,
it would be because her power over
him was dead at last.

arrangements have gone. You have
at least been warned"
But she saw, by the very way he
drew himself up and smiled, that he
understood. More than that, he
doubted her. He questioned what she
had said. The very fact that she had
told him only the truth added to her
resentment.
"You will see," she said sullenly.
Because he thought he already saw,
and because she had given him bad
moment, Karl chose to be deliberately
cruel. perhaps - he said. "But you
leave out of this discussion the one
element that / consider important,
Hedwig herself. If the Princess He'd
wig were tomorrow to be without a
country, I should still hope to marry
her."
She had done well up to now, had
kept her courage and her temper, had
taken her cue from him and been quiet
and poised. But more than his words,
his cruel voice, silky with friendship,
drove her to the breaking point.
Bitterly, and with reckless passion,
she flung at him Hedwig's infatuation
for young Larisch. and prophesied his
dishonor as result Of 1t.
In the end she grew quiet and sat
looking into the fire with eyes full of
stony despair. She had tried and
failed. There was one way left, only
one, and even that would not bring
him back to her. Let Hedwig escape
and marry Milky Larisch-still where
was she? Let the terrorists strike
their blow and steal the crown prince
Again-where was she?
Her emotions were deadened. all
save one, and that was her hatred OF
Hedwig. The humiliation of that mo-
ment was due to her. Somehow, some
day, she would be even with Hedwig.
Karl left her there at last huddled In
her chair, left full of resentment, the
ashes of his old love cold and gray.
There was little reminder Of the girl
of the mountains in the stony-eyed
woman he had left sagged low by the
fire.
Once out in the open air, the king
Of Karnia drew a long breath. The
affair was over. It had been unpleas-
ant. 1t was always unpleasant to
break with woman. But it was time
He neither loved her nor needed her
Friendly relations between the two
countries were established, and soon
very soon, would be ratified by his
marriage.
It was not of Olga Loschek, but OF
Hedwig that he thought, as his car
climbed swiftly to the lodge.

for which the boy would pray, but a
greater one. Surely these kneeling
people, gazing with moist and kindly
eyes at the crown prince, could not,
at the hot words Of demagogues, turn
into the mob he feared. But it had
happened before. The people who had,
one moment, adored the Dauphin of
France on his balcony at Versailles.
had lived to scream for his life.
The countess, standing on her bal
cony and staring down into the valley,
beheld the pilgrimage and had thus
| her first knowledge Of 1t. She was
increduious at first, and stood gazing,
gripping the stone railing with tense
hands. She watched, horror stricken.

Etzel to prayl For his grandfather,
Of course. Then, indeed, must things
be bad with the king, as bad as they
could be.
The church doors closed behind
them.
Olga Loschek fell on her knees. She
was shaking from head to foot. And
because the religious training of her
| early life near the shrine had given
her faith In miracles, she prayed for
one. Rather, she made a bargain with
| God:
If any word came to her from Karl,
any, no matter to what 1t pertained,
she would take 1t for sign, and at
tempt flight. II she was captured, she
would kill herself.
But, If no word came from Karl by
the hour OF her departure the next
morning, then she would do the thing
she had set out to do. and let him be-
ware! The king dead, there would be
no king. Only over the dead bodies
of the Livonians would they let him
marry Hedwig and the throne. 1t
would be war.
Curiously. while she was still on her
knees, her bargain made, the plan
came to her by which, when the time
came, the terrorists were to rouse the
people to even greater fury. Still
| kneeling, she turned 1t over In her
mind. 1t was possible. More, it could
be made plausible, with her assistance.
And at the vision it evoked-Mettlich's
horror and rage, Hedwig's pulling
tears, her own triumph-she took a
deep breath. Revenge with ven-
geance, retaliation for Ole hurts and
fresh injuries, these were what she
found on her knees, while the bell In
the valley commenced the mass, and
q small boy, very rapt and very earn
est, prayed for his grandfather's life.
Yet the bargain came very close to
being made the other way that day,

prepared by United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Hog growers should provide home
grown feed to supply protein-so es-
sential to the proper development of
hogs-and feed them in place of
shorts, middlings, tankage and oil
meal, which are hard to get and high
in price. Substitutes for these con-
centrate feeds are found in crops that
are known to be rich in protein, and
we are advising the use of fish meal,
where it is obtalnable. Alfalfa hay,
soy beans, cowpeas and oats are sug-
gested as good substitute feeds. In
addition to these peanuts, cOttOnseed
meal and velvet beans are available
to hog growers in the Southern states.
Fish Scrap Is Favored.
Fish scrap, which has heretofore
been used as a fertilizer, has been
tried in hog-feedlng experiments con-
Quoted by the department of agrlcul-
ture, and 1t has been found that meal
made from this material is on q par
with tankage when fed TO hogs. A
number of state experiment stations
are now conducting similar expert
ments in feeding fish meal to hogs.
Owing to the transportation situation,
however, 1t is believed that fish meal
cannot be fed economically west of
the Mississippi river.
Shortage Of protein feeds can be
met with alfalfa hay In all localities
where 1t can be grown or obtained at
reasonable prices. There are two
ways in which this hay can be sue
cessfully fed-in small racks placed
in protected sheds where the hogs may
have free access to 1t, and by grinding
1t and feeding 1t In self-feeders or
soaked in the form Of thick slop. The
departments specialists urge that hog
growers provide an ample supply of
alfalfa. Usually the last cutting Of al
falfa Is saved for hog feeding, but for
fear this cutting cannot be harvested
In good condition, on account Of
weather conditions, a sufficient amount
of the second and subsequent cuttings
should be saved to supply enough feed
for hogs.
Rye sown in the fall makes good
pasture for hogs. As soon as it is
three or four inches high the hogs can
be turned in and left until snow COW
ers it up. Rye also provides good pas
ture in early spring. In the Southern
states Abruzzl rye Is recommended, as
1t makes rapid growth and heavier
foliage than other varieties.
Soy Beans Are Excellent.
Soy beans are valuable to take the
place of other protein feeds usually

purchased. They make a very salts

as meal. Soy-bean hay. to be most
satisfactory, should be cut early
enough to avoid the popping out Of
the seeds. The leaves and the seed
both will be readily eaten when
handled In this manner.
In the Southern states peanuts are
quite extensively grown and make a
good feed when used as a grazing crop
or fed In the form Of meal. Velvet
beans are largely raised In this sec
ton Of the country. and II Is recon-
mended that they be left In the field
and grazed.
Dwarf Essex rape and oats can also
be used successfully In the South as
forage crop. Either can be seeded
from the last Of August to the last Of
September. Cottonseed meal can be
very successfully used in connection
with corn as hardening feed for q
period not TO exceed thirty days.

have good care If good results are to
be expected. Give them plenty Of
wholesome food at all times. Provide
dry quarters which are well ventilated.
Give them an opportunity to exercise
And give them closest attention at
Landing time. Occasional Inspection
and regular dipping Is Also essential
to insure freedom from lice, ticks and
skin diseases.
Good pastures are required during
the summer months which is Of spe-
cial importance during late summer
and fall when the lambs need to be
put in shape for market and the rest
of the flock kept In the best of cOndi-
ton for breeding. At this season Of
the year the regular pastures usually
afford but little feed and that OF In
ferior quality. For this reason many
successful growers plant some forage
crop for this purpose. II sown alone
in early May and cultivated, feed
should be afforded by the latter part Of
July, while, IL seeded In corn from
July l TO 10, should provide October
and later fall feeding as long as need
ed. much of the growth being made
after the corn is cut. One acre OF the
crop grown alone, or two acres with
corn, is usually sufficient to fatten
from 30 to 40 lambs If allowed the
run of other fields.
Sheep require relatively little atten.
ton as compared with other kinds of
stock, but attention at lambing time
is very important. The lambing sea-
son is the shepherds harvest time,
and the size and quality of the crop
practically determine the profits. At
this time extra attention must be given
to the ewes and lambs and In no other
way can time be used to better advan-
tage on the farm.

or otherwise of good quality he should
inspect fields OF adapted varieties
grown by some Of his neighbors and
arrange to obtain seed from them after
threshing. In many instances he can
arrange TO have special care given to
this field at threshing time in order TO
prevent mixture. Such care is espe-
cially desirable this year. when the
supply of seed wheat retained on the
farms probably is smaller than ever
before.
Seeding with drill always is advis-
able. In general, early seeding gives
better results than late seeding. Where
there Is danger from the Hessian hy

cordance with the best advice given
on this subject for each section Of the

Many bushels can be added to the
1919 Liberty wheat harvest, and farm
ers can reap added profits from in
creased yields with no more than the
usual labor or expense if the variety
of seed sOwn this fall is pure and is
well adapted to the locality. The seed
should be free from noxious weed
seeds and not infested by destructive
plant diseases. 1t should be clean,
plump and heavy. If there is doubt
about what variety produces the best
yields in given locality the grower
should consult his county agent, state
agricultural college, or write to the
United States department Of argicul-
ture, Washington.
Use HOMEGROWN Seed.
Homegrown wheat should be used
for seed, wherever possible. The best
seed to get is that of an adapted vari-
ETY. which has been grown continuous
ly in the locality for some time, pro-
vided it is pure. The idea that varie-
ties run OUT If grown long in one
section is only an expression for the
fact that they are allowed to become
mixed and weedy and disease-infected.
Changing the kind of wheat grown
should be done only for the purpose
of getting proved better variety. 1t
is often desirable to do this, provided
1t is demonstrated beyond question
that the new variety is better for that
locality.
So-called new" varieties, extrava-
gantly advertised at fancy prices,
should be disregarded completely. The
varieties recommended by the state
experiment stations or other authori-
ties for the several districts within
state or region are the ones which
should be grown. In Kansas, for ex-
ample, the Kanred, an improved strain
Of Crimean wheat, is comomnly grown
in place of the Turkey and Kharkov.
The introduction of these hard red
winter wheats into the Columbia
basin of Oregon and Washington, and
elsewhere in the Pacific northwest has
increased yield and quality of the
wheat produced. Poorer varieties
are being displaced rapidly.
See Seed in Field.
The best way to be sure that the
seed wheat is free from mixture with
other varieties and also from weeds
and diseases is to inspect the growing
field. Each farmer should do this in
his own fields and neighborhood. When
his own variety is not well adapted

SAVE C0WPEAS FROM WEEvlL
Fumigation of Stored Seed With Car.
bon Disulphid Prevents De-
structive Attacks.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agrlculture)
Large supplies of cOwpeas now in
storage by growers principally in the
southern states can be saved from de-
structive attacks of the weevil by
fumigating with carbon disulphld.
Southern-grown cowpeas usually be-
come heavily infested by weevils In
storage, and, as there is a surplus sup
ply on hand at present, growers should
watch their stored seed carefully.
Weevils are particularly destructive
during warm weather, and II they are
not destroyed soon render stored seed
unit for feeding or planting.
Fumlgation by carbon dlsulphid Is a
safe and effective remedy.
II is done by placing seeds In water
tight barrels to within a few inches Of
the top. Into each barrel pour one-half
cupful Of carbon disulphld directly on
the peas or into an absorbent material
such as cloth or cotton. Then cover
the barrel with double thickness of
heavy wrapping paper or some such
material, tied tightly around the top
In order to prevent the fumes Of the
chemical from escaping. Let the bar
rel stand for several days and then
examine. II adult weevils are seen
crawling about among the seeds, a sec
ond fumlgation should be given.
Fumigation should be done during
warm weather. II Is difficult to kin
weevils with carbon disuiphid at a
temperature lower than So degrees F.
and the best results follow when the
temperature is above rs degrees F.
The sooner cowpeas are threshed and
treated after harvesting. the better, as
the treatment kills the young weevil
grubs within the seeds and prevents
them from continuing to devour the
crop. After treatment, keep the bar
rels covered as during fumigation. for
this prevents weevils from flying into
the barrel and laying eggs on the
seeds !
