Ants That Plant.

A species of ants living on the semi
arid plains of Texas cultivate areas of
grass about their dwellings. On the
cultivated space, which may have an
area of ten to fifteen feet, only one
kind of grass is allowed to grow, and
1t is said that the seeds of this grass
are planted by the ants. Roads are
laid out regularly, radiating from the
hill across the plain, and the shoots
of undesirable plants are promptly
nibbled off as fast as they appear
among the crops. When the harvest
Of the protected grass is ripe the ants
collect the seeds and convey them
along radiating highway to the little
rooms in their hills. Interesting and
wonderful is the economy of these
tiny insects. They may. when the col
onies are large and numerous enough.
do considerable damage to grain In
fields where their mounds are reared
and the clearings made.

Harvest and hunter,s Moon.

The full moon nearest the autumnal
equinox September 22) is known as
the harvest moon" Owing to the oc-
currence Of minimum retardation In
the time of rising at that period, this
moon rises at nearly the same time on
several successive nights. It rises
early and gives the husbandmen who
have been playing golf all day an OPP
portunity to gather their crops, hence
Its name. The hunters moon" is the
moon following the harvest moon"
The occasion for its name Is obvious.
Il occurs at the season of the year
when the country youth. the harvest
having been gathered. sings his gun
over his shoulder and wanders
through the woods in search Of the
gray squirrel and other larger game.

DEATH LAID TO EVIL SPIRITS
BanaaIas Tribe 10 Africa Refuses 70
Believe That Mortal Disco
Iution ls Certain.

Strange rites and ceremonies still
abound in Africa. Most of these have
their origin In superstidons instigated
by the medicine men ON magicians OF
tribe for their own betterment, while
many are adopted as customs OF
tribe.
Foremost of the funeral "celebra-
lions" In Africa Is that Of tribe
called Bangalas. near the Quango river.
Here the deceased is asked to state
the cause of his death, and is often
prosecuted before being buried.
The death of an African In these
sections is never announced, and. only
on inquiry is anyone told of the death
of a tribe member. When the death
is generally known the relatives come
and fall into state of excitement and
wailings, with frequent Interruptions
Of a hilarious nature. Drums and mus
fcal instruments are assembled and
the frevelry Ia continued until after
sunrise. This ceremony occupies two
days. The body is brought out during
these ceremonies and fastened In a
sitting posture lii chair and placed
at the door of his hut. The idea Of the
natives Is that the deceased shall share
in the festivities.
Only the mother and wife Of the de-
ceased show signs of grief. After the
celebrations" the deceased Is put I'M
der rigid examination as to what or
who caused his death. Naturally, he
Is unable to answer. and the crowd
abuses him. demanding an answer.
AT last 1t is agreed that he was killed
through the aid of evil spirits. The
body Is then taken to the cemetery.
The inhabitants do not believe that
everyone must die, that evil spirits
alone interfere with lives.

CHAPTER v.
Marie Dupont.

LATE was as respondent as Hilary
over Leblanc's treachery. Hilary
had only one cause for satisfaction in
personal one. He was glad that Le-
blanc's cancellation of the contract had
left the Chateau grounds immune, and
so had neutralized Brousseau's first
move in the campaign.
What CALLED him was the reflection
that in this fight which Brousseau had
thrust upon him he was fighting
Madeleine too. He shrank from the
thought of Madeleine Rosny as Brous-
seaus wife; he tried to think of her
as sacrificing herself for her fathers
sake. But this picture would not hold
together; she was most evidently ac-
quainted with Brousseau's designs, and
approved of them.
On the day after the interview with
Leblanc a new development occurred.
LATE, who had been grumbling all day,
came into the office and flung down
his hat in utter detection.
Something new?' asked Hilary.
There's talk Of strike" said LATE
in disgust "Brousseau has had his
men at work among 'em, and they're
saying that you're keeping wages
down, and that Brousseau would give
two dollars day if you would
"He wants to get into my capital,
eh?"
IT'S just one way of hitting us. 1

wen face that trouble when 1t de-
Velops," answered Hilary.
But Hilary did some hard thinking,
and II settled about Dupont. II Brous-
seau could buy out Dupont he was
finished; he could never get lumber
schooner that year, and he must get
out some shipments before navigation
closed. He decided to appeal to Fa-
ther Lucien to help him out in this
difficulty.
But Father Lucien forestalled him
with a visit that evening" He was
agreeably surprised by the warmth of
his welcome, heard Hilary attentively,
and at once volunteered to assist him.
But there will be no trouble, mon
sieur." he said. Captain Dupont is
Independent and he does not love the
Ste. Marie people.

inside the Dance Hall.

INSIDE the Dance 7aif.
1t had been the general expectation
that Louis Duval would open his sa-
loon that evening. Hilary was aware
that Louis and two assistants were en-
gagged in carpentering behind the
closed door Of the shanty. However,
evening came and the house remained
closed. Furthermore, there was gen.
eral exodus toward Ste. Marie, and
when the news came that Louis him
self had gone 1t became clear that he
had postponed his Inauguration Of the
test of Hilary's authority, for reasons
known best to himself, or perhaps to
Brousseau.
Hilary came to the decision to ride
over to Ste. Marie that night and see
what was transpiring there. LATE, to
whom he confided his scheme. thought
it risky, but, when he could not induce
Hilary to change it, asked permission
to accompany him and made him
promise to avoid trouble.
1t was about an hour after dark
when they turned up from the beach
into the main street which held the
chief dance halls. Simeon Duval's
place was working full blast, as
were half a dozen more, and Hilary
recognized numbers of his own men
en- route. Nobody appeared to notice
them, however, and they reached
Simeon's place unaccosted, and, stand
ing upon the porch beside the door,
looked in.
It was a large wooden building,
within which a score of lumbermen
were dancing, mostly with one an
other; but few had women partners.
There was no pretense of secrecy in
respect of the sale of liquor. Simeon
Duval, whom LATE indicated to Hilary,
was stoutish, middle-aged man in
shirtsleeves, with pale blue eyes and
q thin crop of reddish hair, turning
gray. He wore spectacles, which gave
him strange, scholastic expression,
and the arms beneath his upturned
sleeves were a mass of fat and muscle.
The interior was vilely hot, gusts Of
fetid air came rolling out with the to-
bacco smoke, and the din was deafen-
ing.
AS the two stood there Hilary was
astonished to see little Baptiste push
past them and enter. His face was
agitated, and he seemed to see moth
ing but his objective. He strobe
through the dancers toward one side
Of the room. where two girls were
seated. Hilary had observed one Of
them decline several Invitations to
dance and drink. though apparently
urged by the other; now he recognized
them as Nanette and Marie Dupont.
Baptiste strobe straight up to Ma
rfe and stood before her. Hilary could
hear nothing, but he saw the little
timekeeper gesticulating. and appar-
emily imploring her. He saw Marie
shrug her shoulders and avert her
face. Nanette was laughing, and two
or three of the lumbermen nearby
watched the little scene with amuse-
ment. Baptiste grew more vehement.
Marie turned on him angrily.
The Connecticut labor press., 1920-01-17

Father Lucien stopped and thumped
his stick upon the chipstrewn sand.
"Now that is exactly what was in
my mind when I started out to see
you today, Monsieur Askew," he an
swered. '"They are bad people over OF
Ste. Marie, and they are making st.
Boniface as bad as they are. They

Askew, as said to you the day see
you, / 'ope we shall be frien's. Now
know we shall be, and, please God,
we shall at least keep the brandy out
of st. Boniface."
They stopped and shook hands upon
their compact, and then went on to-
gether, past the struggling outskirts
of the village, beyond the wharf, until
they reached Dupont's cottage.
The cure tapped at the door. With

voices. which suddenly ceased. Then
there came the splutter of a match,
and the flame of a lamp. Hilary saw
girls figure in silhouette against the
shade.
captains daughter, and Hilary remem-
bered that there was some mystery
about her; he had seen her going her
solitary way about the village, ignored
by all and ignoring all.
At the same time he saw another
figure sinking away into the shadows
Of the pines. Father Lucien saw it
too, and darted forward and caught 1t
by the arm, and drew it toward the
beach.
1t was a girl Of about four and
twenty, with foolish, weak face and
gaudy fnery.
"Nanette Bonnat," said the cure
very sternly, 'how often have for
hidden thee to come here?"
LET me go y cried the girl, whim-
pering and struggling.
The door opened and Marie Dupont
stood on the threshold. The flicker
ing light of the lamp within fell on
her face, illuminating one side and
leaving the other half in shadow. The
face was pretty, but sad. embittered,
and rather hard. The cure, still hold
ing Nanette by the arms, turned to-
ward Marie.

Marie Dupont. "Have / SO many

Nanette." He made a swift sign over
her. "God be with thee, Nanette," he
said gently.
The girl fed from him, sobbing, and
Hilary could hear her sobs after she
had been hidden by the pines.
Where is thy father?" asked the
cure.
HE has gone to the store" faltered
the girl. Monsieur Tester"

Father Lucien. "But do not let this

She touched her horse with her
spur, and the beast bounded away, al
most finging Hilary to the ground.
Her face was flaming; yet, as she
rode, Hilary could hear her sobbing
again.
He was sure that Brousseau was
the cause of her distress. He re.
called Lafe's words to himself on the
night of their first meeting. Brous-
seau's grasping hand was stretched
forth not only on the seigniory but on
its heiress-and he vowed that the
battle between them should be fought
out on this ground also.
