CHAPTER III.
q

The Lennox home was typical
mountain ranch-house-sq solid,
comforting in storm and wind. Bill
was out to the gate when the car
drove up He was a son of his ia
Their, a strong man in body and per-
sonality. He too had heard of the
elder Failing, and he opened his eyes
when he saw the slender youth that
was his grandson. And he led the
way into the white-walled living room.
"You must be chilly and worn out
from the long ride" Lennox suggest
ed quietly. He spoke in the tone a
strong man invariably uses toward
an invalid. Dan felt a curious re-
sentiment at the words.
"I'm not cold" he said. ''It's hard
ly dark yet I'd sooner go outdoors
and look around"
The elder man regarded him curl
ously, perhaps with the faintest glim-
mer of admiration. you'd better wait
till tomorrow, Dan" he replied. "Bill
will have supper soon, anyway. You
don't want to overdo too much, right
at first"
''But, good heavens! I'm not going
to try to spare myself while I'm here.
It's too late for that"

hills. And 1t was true that he began
to have secret regrets that he had
come. But 1t wasn't that ne was dis
appointed in the land that was open
ing up before him. 1t fulfilled every
promise. His sole reason for regrets
lay in the fact that now the whole
mountain world would know of the
decay that had come upon his people.
Perhaps it would have been better to
have left them to their traditions.
He had never dreamed that the
fame of his grandfather had spread
so far. For the first ten miles Dan
listened to stories-legends of a cold
nerve that simply could not be shaken;
of a powerful, tireless physique; of
moral and physical strength that was
seemingly without limit. Then, as
the foothills began to give way to the
higher ridges, and the shadow Of the
deeper forests fell upon the narrow,
brown road, there began to be long
gaps in the talk. And soon they rode
in utter silence, evidently both of
them absorbed In their own thoughts
Dan did not feel oppressed at all,
He merely seemed to fall into the
spirit of the woods, and no words
came to his lips. Every mile was an
added delight to him. Not even wine
could have brought a brighter sparkle
to his eyes. He had begun to- expert
ence a vague sort Of excitement, an
emotion that was almost kin to ex-
ultation, over the constant stir and
movement of the forest life. Once, as
they stopped the car to refill the ra-
diator from a mountain stream, Len
nox looked at him with sudden curl
osity. "You are getting a thrill out
of this, aren't you?" he asked wonder
ingly.
It was a curious tone. Perhaps 1t
was hopeful tone, too. He spoke
as If he hardly understood.
"a thrillr Dan echoed. He spoke
as man speaks in the presence Of
some great wonder. "GOOd Heavens

TREES THRIVE IN ODD LAND
Hillside, Corners and Waste Strips
Can Be Made Quite Useful In
Growing Timber.

By planting hillsides, odd corners
on the farm where a road or rail-
road has cut it off and places where
erosion has been had, a good return
on such an investment can be gotten.
If land is subject to overflow cotton
wood will grow and 1t will in a short
time furnish desirable rough lumber.
Soft woods make excellent fence
posts when treated with creosote and
have been found to last over ten years
which makes them desirable from the
standpoint of cost.

Of CaIOnleI.

CaIomel loses you a dayl You know
what calomel is. It's mercury quick
silver. Calomel is dangerous. 1t crashes
into sour bile like dynamite, cramping
and slckening you. Calomel attacks
the bones and should never be put into
your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish, con-
stipated and all knocked out and be-
lieve you need a dose Of dangerous cali
omel just remember that your druggist
sells for a few cents large bottle Of
Dodson's Liver Tone, which is entirely
vegetable and pleasant to take and Is
a perfect substitute for calomel. It Is
guaranteed to start your liver without
stirring you up inside, and can not
salivate.
Don't lake calomel 1t can not be
trusted any more than leopard or q

which straightens you right up and
makes you feel fine. Give it to the
children because it is perfectly harm-
less and doesn't grippe.

never saw anything like it in my

"In this very stream" the mountain
eer told him joyously,, you may oeca-
sionally catch trout that weigh three
pounds"
But as he got back into the car the
look Of interest died out of Lennox's
eyes. OF course any man would be
somewhat excited by his first glimpse
of the wilderness. 1t was not that he
had inherited any of the traits of his
grandfather. 1t was absurd to hope
that he had. And he would soon get
tired of the silences and want to go
back to his cities. He told his thought
that it would all soon grow old to
him; and Dan turned almost in anger.
"You don't know" he said. II
didn't know myself, how I would feel
about it. I'm never going to leave the
hills again."

tells you why, 1 guess"
"YOu mean TO say" Silas Lennox
turned in amazement. "You mean that
you're "a goner? That you've given
up hope of recovering?"
THAT'S the impression meant to
convey. I've got a little over four
months-though 1 don't see that I'm

tor said 1 had six months. Those
four will take me all through the fall
and the early winter. And hope you
| won't feel that you've been imposed
upon-to have dying man on your
hands,"
"It isn't that" Silas Lennox threw
his car into gear and started up the
long grade. And he drove clear to the
top of it and into another glen before
he spoke again. Then he pointed to
what looked to Dan like a brown
streak that melted into the thick
brush. "That was a deer" he said
slowly. "Just a glimpse, but your
grandfather could have got him be-
tween the eyes. Most like as not,
though, he'd have let him go, He
never killed except when he needed
meat. But that-as you say-ain't
the impression I'm trying to convey"
He seemed to be cropping for words.
what is 1t, Mr.. Lennox?" Dan
asked.
INSTEAD of being sorry, I'm mighty
glad you've come" Lennox told him.
Its not that l expect you to be like
your grandfather. You haven't had
his chance. But it's always the way
Of true men, the world over, to come
back to their own kind to die. That
deer we just saw-he's your people,
and so are all these ranchers that
grub their lives out of the forests
they are your people, too. And you
couldn't have pleased the old mans
old friends any better, or done more
for his memory, than to come back
to his own land for your last days"
The words were strange, yet Dan
intuitively understood. 1t was as If
a prodigal son had returned at last,
and although his birthright was
squandered and he came only to die,
the people of his home would give him
kindness and forgiveness, even though
they could not give him their respect

FARM
LIVE STOCK
MUCH LOSS in BEEF CATTLE
Average Price Per Head Dropped
From s44.22 in 1919 to ss1.41 in
1e21-Hogs Also Drop.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
Beef cattle on farms lost in average
value per head from January 1, 1919,
to January l, 1921, all that they
gained during the participation of the
United States in the World war and
more than half as much again, accord
ing to the bureau of crop estimates,
United States Department of AgricuI-
ture. The loss occurred mostly in 1920.
This has been established beyond doubt
by the recent annual investigation of
prices of farm animals per head made
by the bureau. The average price per
head, all ages, of cattle other than
milk cows was 1882 in 1917, $44.22 in
1919, and $31. Al in 1921. On January
1, last year, the farm price was $4.51
below that of 1917, some months be-
fore this country declared war.
In the case of swine on farms, the
average price per head all ages, de-
clined in the two years 1919 and 1920,
IS per cent Of the gain in 1917 and
1918, and two-thlrds of the decline
was in 1920.
From 1916 to 1919, the average farm
value of the product of corn per acre
increased from $21.67 to $3S.54. The
corn crop Of 1920, taking the average
value of the product of one acre, fell
to $20.93, and this drop not only wiped
out the gain of the preceding three
years but perceptibly exceeded it. The
