PROFITABLE HOG RAISING

Although my farm is small, l al.
ways try to keep some little plot OF
green stuff growing for the hogs
By having a succession of these crops
the year round, my pigs make hogs
of themselves with but very little
other feed. A pasture planted in
burr clover and Bermuda is invalu-
able. 1t is standby to fall back
upon when other crops give out, the
clover furnishing pasturage for win
ter and spring, the Bermuda during
GUNNER and fall.
A good part of my land is fenced
off in small plots. This is a great
convenience, for, while the hogs are
grazing down one patch, another can
be growing. The following is sue
cession of crops for hogs that have
found profitable: rape and rye for
early fall, oats and clover for winter,
then spring oats, peanuts and cow
leas, with Bermuda, corn and velvet
cans coming on during the summer.
Last fan, my sweet potato patch
did good service in fattening the
fogs. The patch was less than an
fcre in size. After gathering 1SO
tushels from it, the hogs were turn
oi in. There were seven hogs and
rine shoats, and the sixteen of them

in the garden to help out their ra-
tions, too. 1t is very little extra
trouble to boil big pot of vege-

Consequently l always plant an abun-
dance of the easily raised vegetables,
such as turnips, cabbage, beets,

SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS
CHAPTERS

jeremiah Trench, an influential
politician from New Hampshire,
seeks seclusion in the woods with
fishing party. BY a fake tele-
phone call he is lured to the post
Office Of a nearby town and on the
return trip is taken to an island,
where he is forced to reveal the
method by which a certain pack
age can be secured from the bank.
This package contains $4,000
which has been placed at the dis
posal of Trench by the Midweather
Water Company, who seek the
passage of certain legislation
through his influence. After being
released Trench finds that the bank
has delivered the package to man
who called for 1t in the proper
manner, and this man described as
being Dick MacLean, a young and
active newspaper reporter. Trench
cOnfers with Samuel Cruthers as
to how to apprehend MasLean
without calling on the police.
Trench sends q letter TO Horace
Franklin, editor of one of the city
newspapers, accusing MacLean as
thief. Franklin, who is a per-
sonal friend Of MacLean, refuses
to believe the charge and starts
out to learn the truth.

He was on time. but no one .,as
there to meet him. Finally he sat
down on a stone wall and lighted a
cigar. Then minutes passed. Out
from the wood road. which he had
not noted. an open buggy suddenly
appeared.
The horse drew up and the girl

fact with his first glance-leaned for
ward
Tom drew off his soft hat, stepped
close TO the wheel, and peered into the
veiled face.
"This may seen funny" came the
voice, and with the first words Kings,
bury gave start: "but Mr.. Mac
Lean did me good"
The speech ended with a smothered
cry. From the roadside bushes. al
most from the spot where Tom had
waited. came n squirt Of flame. and
the sing OF bullet blended with the
bark of a pistol
Like mad the horse sprang into the
collar, and up the road dashed the
swaying buggy.
Tom made leap forward as the
girl cried out, and her exclamation
had come d second before the pistol
shot, for she had seen the man
straighten and take aim.
In that second the veil which
covered her face had been blown
aside. 1t was all he needed to con-
firm the impression which struck him
as she spoke.

CHAPTER TX.

Again.
For a second Kingsbury was 30 star
tied by the discovery, the suddenness
with which the shot had been fired,
and the frightened dash of the horse
that he was powerless to make a
move.
His thought was for the girl more
than anything else, and his eyes fol-
lowed the swaying buggy. 1t was
lost in the night at once, but he real
lied that the plunging animal had
been brought under control.
Then he swung about to see man
making off across the fields.
With leap activity took the place
of inertia. Tom went over the low
wall and, head down, raced across the
field in pursuit of the man who had
fired.
But his hesitancy had cost him dear.
He realized that fact in few mo-
ments. Still he kept up the chase, un-
willing to be beaten and lose the
chance of landing one person, at least,
from whom he believed he would be
able to wiring an explanation that
might be of some help.
& He came to the crest of the hill.
OF below stretched low fields, but no.
where was there any sight of the flee
ing man.
Disguised with himself, for he felt
he should have stirred to action soon
er, he turned back, his only consola-
tion in the thought that he might yet
find out what he would have been told
had the pistolshot not stopped Miss
Holcomb.
There was nothing for 1t but to re.
turn to the hotel, and once there he
called Franklin on the telephone.
All he could do was to report his
lack of progress to date, but he did
ascertain from the managing editor of
the News the purpose MacLean had
had in view when he set out to find
Trench.
It. was a new angle from which to
begin his investigation, for he felt Ger.
tain that the Midweather people must
know of the theft.
,Kipgsbury realized that he would
have to wait until morning to do any
thing along this line. Still troubled
as to whether any harm could have
befallen Trench, and anxious as well
to face Marjory Holcomb and find
out why she should have felt 1t neces.
sary to meet him as she had and what
information she possessed, he ordered
an auto and set out for the Trench
home.
1t was but a short ride In the car,
but in that limited space of time
Kingsbury turned over the events
which had transpired since his coming
to Concord. He confessed himself
bewildered.
He even wondered II it was not pos
sible, as he had before suspected. that
Trench knew more than he had con-
fessed to. He was still willing to ad-
nit that the politician might be in
trying position, knowing his niece's
feeling for MacLean; but, at the same
time, he could only account for Miss
Holcomb's actions by thinking she had
learned something while guest Of her
friends. Yet, If that were the case,
she had had the opportunity to speak
to him that very afternoon.
When be leaped down Edith was
standing on the veranda steps, having
heard the cars approach.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON FOR
FEB. 8, 1919-"JETHRO'S
COUNSEL"

y
COUNSEL"
Golden Text: Bear ye one another's
burdens and SO fulfill the law of
Christ Galatians 6,2.
Lesson: Exodus 1S:12-26.
/. An Ancient Efficiency Expert.
Jethro was the father-in- law of
Moses. If any father-in-law of to-
day has allowed his occupation to
fall into disrepute, he can get some
good pointers from Jethro. The lat
ter saw that Moses was overbur-
dcncd. He advised division of la
Dor. He said there should be rulers
of thousands, hundreds, fifties and
tens. Some matters of detail were
to be taken care of by these leaders
for various groups. Big items of
business only were to go to Moses.
In this way the strength of the great
leader was conserved and the people
themselves were trained in service.
III. Team Work in Religion.
1t is team work in religion that
counts. Any church which overloads
its pastor with details weakens its
own life and destroys the pastors
power of leadership. Details ought
to be taken care of by the members.
A great church in New York has just
called two pastors; one of them will
do the preaching and nothing else
the other will attend to all admins
tration, officiate at funerals and we'd
dings and organize the work. There
is enough in both tasks for a strong
man today.
| Our nation has been learning what
can be accomplished by team work.
The Red Cross organized our activi-
les and million women began to
knit. The doctors called for surgical
dressings and every town and hamlet
in the United States made them rea-
dy. Save sugar for France" came
the word from Hoover and we all
gave up sugar! Save COAL" said Mr..
Garfield and we sifted ashes or
burned soft coal as we never had
done before. Team work for the
sake of ChriStS cause will make il
a success.
DR.. Lyman Beecher was remark
ably successful in his church work
in Boston. Some one asked him how
he could possibly accomplish so
much. 1T is not l that do it," was
his answer; "it is my church. |
lpreach as hard as | can on the Sab
bath, and then l have four hundred
members who go out and preach ev-
ery day in the week" What are you,
doing in your church to make it eff
cient by sharing the labor of its pas
or and members?
III. Burden Bearing. I
When we face the heavy labors of
life it is great comfort and encour-
agement to realize that God always
takes the heavy end of the load
There are two admonitions in Paul's
letter to the Galatians which should
be remembered. The first says:
Bear We one another'S burdens and
so fulfill the law of Christ" The
other says: Each man shall bear his
own burden" With these laws we
put the promise of God: 81 will be
your helper" John and his father
had load of cement to carry. John
is ten years old and the load weighed
two hundred pounds. Attached to
one end of the box that held the ce-
ment were two long bars and at the
other end, two short bars. Which
end did the father take, and which
end did he give to John? Why? Was
John of any use? Why? If Johns
father had said to him, "Oh, you
weren't of any particular use;

sure that IL Marjory felt 1t necessary
to meet him as she had. she would be
forced to some subterfuge to get away
from the house.
He was disappointed, however, for
he had wanted the chance to talk
with the girl that night.
They sat down upon the veranda,
and Edith again referred to the mat
ter which had been troubling her that
afternoon.
81 have been trying to make myself
believe your explanation would ac-
count for Dicks ABSENCE" she said;
"but can't. Mr.. Kingsbury. what do
you know"
My dear young lady" ho laughed
you have Il very VIVID Imagination
Your uncles natural reticence in all
matters-one had only to meet him to
realize that trait-should be bet
ter known to you than to lead you to
building mountains out of mole hills"
She looked away. her chin cupped in
hand. and in the shadows of the
screening vines he could not see her
face.
Suppose l talk to your uncle" he
suggested suddenly, when the girl held
silent. "Ill explain to him how you
feel. | take it that you have hardly
done so. and l think we can satisfy
you completely"
She arose slowly and turned to-
ward the open front door. On the
threshold she halted.
II suppose you two men will con-
coct some explanation" she said with
a WEAKNESS in her voice. Il warn
you that it will have to be the truth,
Mr.. Kingsbury. l will be satisfied
with nothing else"
He had arisen quickly and stepped
to her side; but without another word
and with no chance for him to say
thing, she was gone down the hail.
He followed her as far as the big
fireplace and waited there.
Suddenly she reappeared at the IL
brary door.
Uncle isn't here!" she exclaimed
"He was left him just few min
utes before you arrived
She turned back into the room be-
fore Tom could move down the hall.
AS he came close to the door he heard
her laugh.
"Why, Uncle Jerry, L" And
then a smothered scream broke from
her lips.
| Tom cleared the few feet and was in
the library in an instant.
Standing by the big desk, Edith
leaned forward peering through the
open French windows.
IHOuSnI IL was my uncle. he
ran, Mr.. Kingshury, through the gar
dem"
Tom sprang for the back veranda
and cleared the rail in a leap. Down
through the rose garden raced the
shadowy figure of man, and while
Tom had no idea who he YVES or his
purpose in coming to the house and
making off, he considered it well
worth finding out.
He had lost one man that night; he
resolved to catch this one, although he
wasn't so sure the individual he pur-
sued would be able to furnish any in
formation.
