The Blue Moon was stiIl lying on It's
bit of cloth upon the bar, where,
among the river men, 1t was as safe
as anything of value ever gets to be
In this avaricious world. He deliber-
ately picked 1t up and thrust It into
his pocket.
1t was a distinct affront. Blood
had run in the Flatwoods for less. The
man facing him started; flushed; his
right hand dipped toward his hip.
The Pearlhunter'S body became like
iron electrified; his eyes like fiecks OF
steel in the fireglow. His hand had
closed upon the pistol butt while the
others hand was still on its way.

ner that somehow had the effect of
emphasizing the affront.
The other shrugged his shoulders,
barely perceptibly; his lip curled In
a hard smile that carried all the force
of sneer, but he made no answer.
With the air of man bored unspeak-
ably he sauntered across the room to
the door by which he had entered;
paused an instant; glanced back over
his shoulder; tossed up his chin con-
temptuously; passed out, and closed
the door.
But, for all his easy acting, 1t did
not escape the Pearlhunter that the
blue in his eyes was black.

again. 1t seemed unreal as he looked
back upon 1t In the light Of another
day But no, there were the roses. He
bent his face down and caught the
aroma of their breath.
'Let them be-" he said. "They will
last another day."
The Boss made no reply. To him
they were merely faded roses. He was
sitting on the doorstep about to light
his pipe when the younger man called
him. With the freshly filled pipe In
one hand, the unlighted match in the
other, he rose and stepped back into
the cabin. The Pearlhunter was
standing before a small hair-covered
trunk, scarcely bigger than an ordi-
nary suitcase of the present day. 1t
stood open, with the lid thrown back,
exactly as it had stood two nights be-
fore when he came up from the river
and found his mother dying. It's con-
tents seemed to indicate that they had
been rummaged through by some one
whose haste had been great-doubt-
less by his mother. 1t hurt him to re-
call the cause of that haste. The
bloodstained glove she had held in her
hand lay uppermost, probably tossed
there by one of the river men.
cts time to know what's in this
trunk"
A certain tenseness in his voice es-
capped the Boss.
Don't y'u?"
"Pve never seen inside of it before"
The Boss was in the act of scraping
his match. He stopped; looked
around out of the tail of his eye, but
whatever his thoughts, he made no
comment.
"First of all, here's this glove" the
young man went on, lifting the glove
from the trunk. "You know where
we-saw II first"
The Boss threw away the stub of
his match and felt the time-stained
and widowed article.
"West Point" he muttered. Hits
tn kind them sprigs wears-officer's,
I'd say. offhand."
The other stood considering It; laid
II aside: and lifted the next article
from the trunk. 1t proved to be a
woman's dress of rich brocade Little
as the two men knew of such matters,
1t impressed even them as being OF
the very finest material and of fin
ished workmanship. Under it lay
other articles of woman's wear, all
equally rich, though now yellow with
the stain of time. Down beneath
everything else lay a small box which
the Boss. from an experience which
befen him as a soldier in the far
South, knew to be satinwood.
The young man stood with it In his
hand, afraid to raise the lid-afraid
to put 1t to the test So far. the trunk
had given up nothing. He was still
nameless. What If this, too. should
prove a blank?
At last the Pearlhunter raised the
lid-some baby clothes, clean and
neatly folded; plain gold ring
wrapped in a handkerchief of the
finest cambria; and, under all, pic
ture-what the on-GrayWoman
must have been in her girlhood. He
snatched it up, carried it to the light
of the door and looked long upon it.
After a time he came back to the
trunk. The satinwood box was the
last article in it, and 1t had told him
nothing. He laid the picture in it. re-

The young man at the oars made no

ing OF that bit of flaming cloth behind
the chink at the cabin. For a moment
the impulse came on him to tell the
Boss, but he decided to keep his own
counsel.
The moon had poked her round face

landed at Fallen Rock. The Pearl

gray and ragged logs. Full Of the big
news he bore. the young man hurried
up the slope The pearl almost
seemed to become "a creature of sense
and sympathy; to feel warm against
him; the luster of it to shine through
his pocket.
When within few feet of the door
he heard his mother cough-hissing !;
whistling; choky. He dropped the fish
and darted in at the door.
She stood stopped in front of her
chair, clutching the table. Her hand
moved over the cloth as If trying to
write. Blood was pouring from her

sprang at her. She clutched his arm

In her fingers. She struggled painful

strove pitifully to speak. No word
came-only that awful whistling hiss

had been so wonderful. They were
trying hard to tell him something
words her lips were not able to
frame. He strove to read their mes

gasp; her body suddenly stiffened,
ouivered, relaxed-and he eased her

Woman was dead.

TO cross them on her lap. Some OBJ

floor. 1t was a soldiers glove, stiff

stood startled and staring. His cry

The voice of the old Boss half
startled the man on the doorstep. The
gruff old fellow had never left him,
night or day.
The Pearlhunter had forgotten him,
the rumpled house, the dishes, every
thing. He lifted his face from his
hands. rose, and entered the cabin.
The Boss was pointing to three wild
roses-a red, pink, white-in a
tumbler of water In the window.

ward the newcomer. His nerves were
as steady as the woods make them,
but they were not quite proof against
what he saw. 1t was the Man-in-the-

The market for field peas seems
to be as badly crippled as the bean
market. Latah county growers are
unable to find a market for them
at any price. A few were sold in
the county for local feeding pur-
poses and brought price of &c a
pound. Hogs are scare so it is i'm
possible to use up the pea crop for
feed.
One prominent farmer in this
locality stacked his beans before
the rain, but won't thresh them as
ne says they aren't worth the bother
and expense at the present market
price. They will remain in the
stack until better price is quoted.
1t is stated on guod authority that
many renters who depended largely
on the bean crop will not make ex-
penses, unless material advance
in price comes before they have to
sell. Unless prices stitSen to q
marked degree there will be few
beans planted IN the Potlatch next

POULTRY
CACKLES
CARE FOR LITTLE CHICKENS
When First Put Into Brooder they
Should Be Protected by Board
or Wire Frame.

When chickens are first put into a
hroOder they should be confined under
or around the hover by placing board
or wire frame few inches outside
(this would not apply to the small
outdoor colony brooders). The fence
or guard should be moved gradually
farther away from the hover and dis
carded entirely when the chickens are
three or four days old, or when they
have learned to return to the source
of heat, poultry specialists in the
United States department of agricul-
ture say.
Young chickens should be closely
watched to see that they do not huddie
together or get chilled. They should
ne allowed to run on the ground
whenever the weather is favorable,
as they do much better than when kept
continuously on cement or board
floors. Weak chickens should usually
be killed as soon as noticed, as they
rarely make good stock, while they
may become carriers of disease
Breeders should be disinfected at least
once a year, and more frequently if
the chickens brooded in them have
had any disease.

Financial Loss Due to Cold

1t is estimated that the average
man loses three days time each year
from inability to work on account
of having a cold. Much of this loss
can be avoided by treating every
cold as soon as the first symptoms
of the disease appear. Chamber

err reputation and immense sale by
its cures of this disease. Try 1t.
You are certain to be pleased with
its pleasant taste and the prompt
relief which it affords.

FOR SUCCESS WITH POULTRY
Good Stock Is First Fundamental for
Best Results on Farm-Dual-
Purpose Breeds Best.

The first fundamental of successful
farm poultry keeping is good stock
OF course, it is well known that farm
eys may at times get fairly good re-
salts from ordinary stock, but at the
same time it must be remembered
tSat with the same care and attention
better results will be obtained from
ssod stock. By good stock is not
necessarily meant stock which has
been bred for exhibition purposes. 1t
means standardized stock, which by
virtue of it's pure breeding has been
Systematically developed and which is
better fitted therefore to give the re-
s.Its expected of it and to yield a
more uniform and more desirable
rspduct.
On the average farm the poultry
hock is expected to furnish eggs and.
