still came on unfalteringiy. and Bryce
was forced TO give way before him: to
save his hands. he avoided the risk Of
battering Rondeau's hard head and
sinewy arms.
Already word that the woods-boss
was battling with stranger had been
shouted into the camp dining room.
and the entire crew of that camp,
abandoning their half-fnished meal,
came pouring forth to view the contest.
Out of the tail of his eye Bryce saw
them coming. but he was not appre-
hensive, for he knew the code of the
woodsman: 'Let every man roll his
own hoop" 1t would be fight to a
finish. for no man would interfere !;
striking. kicking. gouging, biting. or
choking would not be looked upon as
unsportsmanlike; and as Bryce backed
cautiously AWAY from the huge. 1.-THE.
active. and powerful man before him,
he realized that Jules Rondeau was.

Rondeau. it was apparent. had no

Colonel Seth Pennington looked up
sourly as a clerk entered his private

to assume his ponttical manner.

Bryce entered. Good morning.

You can make me genuinely happy by

arrangement to freight the logs OF the
Cardigan Redwood Lumber company

Colonel Pennington cleared his
throat with prOpitiatory "Ahem-m-
n" Then he removed his gold spec
tacles and carefully wiped them with
n silk handkerchief, as carefully re-
placed them upon his aristocratic nose
and then gazed curiously at Bryce.

he could but get his great hands on

Suddenly two powerful hands were
placed between Bryce's shoulders, ef-
fectually halting his backward prog
ress; then he was propelled violently
forward until he collided with Ron
deau. With a below of triumph, the
woods-boss's arms were around Bryce,
swinging him until he faced the man
who had forced him into that terrible
grip. This was no less parsonage
than Colonel Seth Pennington, and 1t
was obvious he had taken charge Of
what he considered the obsequies.
"Stand back, you men. and give

With heave and a grunt Rondeau
lifted his antagonist, the pair went
crashing to the earth together, Bryce
underneath. And then something hap
pened. With howl of pain, Rondeau
rolled over on his back and lay clasp

"The good old wrist-lock does the

upheld him, Rondeau would have fall

not part of Bryce's plan. Jerking the
fellow toward him, he passed his arm
around Rondeaus neck, holding the
latter's head as in a wise with the
crook Of his elbow. And then the bat
tering started. When it was finished,
Bryce let his man go. and Rondeau,
bloody, sobbing. and semi-conscious,

Bryce bent over him. "Now. damn

Mr.. Philips. early In the season, put
100 pounds OF sulphur fertilizer on
one acre aud 100 pounds OF land
plaster on another. Friday he weigh
cd the crops obtained from the two
acres and compared these with crops
obtained from two untreated acres.
Tho results show that his invest
m.nt of about SO an acre IN these
fertilizers was returned more than
three times. The weishinss were ~
follows:
Land plaster. acre ...........55s0 lbs.
sulphur. acre ......................5t35 lbs
First untrcatcd. acre ..........l6s0 lbs.
Second untreated acre ........3750 lbs.
Mr.. Philips further explained that
the fertilizer had been used on the
poorest corner OF his field and fur
ther. that the so-caiied "untreated"
land had been fcrtilized with manure.
The land plaster and sulphur treated
acres appeared To produce approx
mateiy the same crop. there being u
difference of only ii5 pounds In fav-
or OF the land plaster. Other factors
may have entered In. however. The
