BueeLINe MILK.


"Ah.r said the cows, 1--WE swish our
tails and we moo. but more than that,
we give fresh bubbling milk. Every
morning and every evening we stand
in our stalls in the barn and we are
MIXED.
Sometimes the bubbling milk spills
over the pain and Tom. the cat, has a
drink. he picks it right up with his
tongue-right of the floor. Yes, he
laps it right up, moo, moo"
"He doesn't care" said another
COW. ito bother about a glass or a
saucer. He win lap it right up for
he knows it Is good.
"Fanny and Jane. the two horses
who 20 off by themselves along the
road 70 the pasture and come back

know how nice our bubbIing. frothy,
warm milk is. But 1t is well they
don't because then there is more of

Moo, moo" said another cow,
"they look after themselves well.
They can take a long walk from the
barn to the pasture and back again
and they don't need any one to guide
them.
There is Elizabeth, the goose, who
looks after the ducks, for the ducks
have no mother. She leads them
along and they follow along the pro
cession webbing just as she does.
They think they're a regular parade,
SHY. shrieking, quacking things

"And the insects think they're very
fine buzzing away for all they're
worth. acting as though they were a
great chorus of singers. Their voices
aren't as nice as our nice mOo-moo
voices" said another cow. They
can't give milk. either"
"And the moon which stays around
in the morning after we're awake,
acting as though it were so important,
too" said another COW. Gracious, IL
needn't act so high and mighty"
"Of course it is high" said one Of
the other COWS, "but it needn't act so
mighty and so important"
"Of course not. moo, moo" said the
rest Of the cows, for the moon can't
give milk, nice bubbling. frothy, warm
milk"
"And the gray beetle who is around
these days wearing his simple gray
suit of which he is so very proud, and
the beautiful green beetle and the
grasshoppers jumping this way and
that-they all act as though they were
so important and they can't give milk.

other cow.
"And the humble bees eating the
pears act as though they were 50 inn

other cows. MOO. moo, they don't
amount to much. They don't give

CHAPTER XI.-Continued.


"Ah, so you can stand alone, senor-
tia; that IS well. Step in here, ahead
Of me- and follow the lantern-there
Is nothing TO fear"
She hesltated and the smile on the
Mexican's lips changed into a cruel
grin.

NO, senior"
Then you viii do as I bid
Yes, senior; I cannot resist"
The passage was clean and dry, and
seemed to lead directly back into the
( cliff. The faint light revealed the side
walls and low roof, and the girl, again
partially mistress of herself, recog-
nized the nature of the rock to be lime
stone.
Her view was limited TO the slight
radius illumined by the lantern. and
even within that small area. her own
shadow, and those Of the three men,
helped render everything indistinct.
They had turned "a sharp corner, and
advanced few feet beyond when the
man with the lantern stopped sudden
ly. and held it up TO permit the light to
right Another of these odd Sits in the
rock was visible here, and the girl was
able to perceive more clearly its nature
beyond question it was an artificial
opening, leading into a space on the
farther side Of the wall. Cateras push
ed past the girl, his body interfering
with her view, and bent down, fun
bling along the rock surface.
Hold he light closer" he command
ed Ave, that's it. It's some trick
to find the thing All. now | have it."
It seemed like a bit of wood, so re
sembIng the color of the rock as to
be practically imperceptible to the eye
In that dim light-a bit of wood which
slid back To reveal a heavy iron bolt
shot firmly into the stone. This the
Mexican forced back and an opening
yawned in the side wall the rays of
the lantern revealing the interior of a
black cave. Cateras stepped within.
Bring the woman" he commanded
shortly. 'and you, Merodez, see first
TO the light"
Silva thrust her forward, his grip
no light one, while the other struck a
match and applied it TO the wick of n
lamp occupying bracket beside the
doorway. As this caught the full in
terror was revealed beneath the sicllly
glow, a cell-Iike place. although of a
fair size unfinished except for a
rude bertch, ana one three-legged stool

roof apparently of the same solid struc-
ture. 1t was gloomy. bare. horrible
in rs dreariness-a veritable grave.
The girl covered her face with her
hands. appalled, at the sight, unnerved
at she thought of being left alone in
such place Cateras saw the move
mehf, and laughed, gazing about care
lessly.
''Some boudoir, senorita." he said
meaningly. We'll, we will see what
can be done for you later. Perhaps

will be glad to see even me. I'll leave
you to think it over; then I'll come

The fellow lifted his hat and step

insolent. She remained motion:ess,

and other communities proclairing
that our farmers should take a les
son from Holland and Belgium, for
if they did they would be able to
harvest three or four times larger
crops than are now harvested.
The Intensive Method
Judge Gary says that already
many of our farmers, especially
those who cultivate thousands Of
acres are learning the intensive
methods of cultivation. Our soil has
been so abundant and far-reaching
the original cost of it so slight, some
of it practically free to settlers,
that American agriculture had been
characterized by some exsrava..
gance. Now these harmful influen-
ces are passing away. Judge Gary
says that with intensive cultivation
of American soil there should be an
increase in the production of wheat
alone of more than 100 per cent.
It is the hope that in the new ad-
ministration which begins next
March, Congress will act not in a
partisan way, but in the spirit of
modern Americanism, so that far
mers may be encouraged to increase
their production and furthermore
SO that the many million Of acres Of
land which now await cultivation,
may be peopled by farmers who,
having learned that the farms offer
fully as great as inducement as do

In fact, he retired to the adoption

sive processes of soil civilizations of
which France, Belgium and Holland
and to some extent, Great Britain
are already furnishing US valuable
lessons. He might also have spoken
of the highly developed intensive
agriculture which is characteristic
of Japan and enables that compara-
lively small archipelago to feed for
the most part her own millions.
Judge Gary and James J. Hill
Judge Gary merely echoes state
ments made some years ago by
James J. Hill, President Clark of
the New York Central Railroad sys-
tenn and others. It must have been
as long ago as 1906 that Mr.. Hill
urged the immediate adoption by
farmers of intensive cultivation of
the soil. He did OF confine himself
to generalizations. He referred
many times to the triumphs of Hol-
land and Belgium, and by intensive
cultivation compelled the soil to
yield every ounce of the wealth that
was in it.
When Mr.. Clark was president of
the New York Central, he also un-
dertook a campaign Of intensive
education. He went about through
New York State and also in Iowa
