about right for the take-off, he leaped at the falls. and, half to his surprise,
 landed on the fiat rock outside. It was like breaking through the crust of creation into a new world. Mar yelling at the small amount of water that had clung to him, he sprang over the two intervening rocks to the shore

Snatching up some cold biscuits and strips of fried bacon. he hurriedIy made six sand wiches and stuffed them into his pock- cts. Resting at the spring long enough to eat two of his sandwiches, he drained a gourd of water, crossed the branch below the falls and hurried away up the bluffs into the deep woods.
 A mile and more north of the wa terfall, Wolf Run bends west to dou- ble and twist and loop through a tan gle of hills and guiches known as Fox Den, the widest and most inaccessi- ble district of the Flatwoods. The .Pearlhunter had heard of the place. He resolved to take his chances there. The spot was no great distance above the three-gabled cabin.
 Away up the bare front of cliff his eye lighted on the mouth of what ap- peared to be cleft in the rock. Wolf Run washed against a narrow ledge at the very foot of this cliff. He spread himself flat against the face of the rock and strained from crevice to crev- ice. It was prodIgious task, but all tasks have an end-either at the bot tom or at the top. The Pearlhunter's task finally ended at the top. It had to.
 The strata gaped apart half the height of man, leaving a wide-open scar in the face of the cliff. It was per haps ten feet deep, and seemed to be closed at the back by the dipping to- gether of the two strata.

DOUBLE TREATMENT IS BEST
Serum May Be Satisfactory for Short Fattening Period-lmmunity
 Is Not Permanent.

The serum treatment alone will not bring permanent immunity from hog cholera. It may be satisfactory for short fattening period. But for the farm herd it is necessary to give the double treatment which consists of the virus and the serum. It 1t general ly understood that hog that has once recovered from a case of cholera is permanently immune. This immunity is the result of the formation in the body of the animal of anti-bodies which are antagonistic to the disease germs. For hogs that have been ex- posed to the disease or that may take it, 1t is necessary to use the virus which gives the animal the disease in a slight form. The serum which Is then injected combats the disease germs and assists the body in resist ance.

Tvino the Knot.

The performance of the marriage ceremony Is often spoken of as ''ty- ing the knot" The expression may be of comparatively recent origin, a figurative phrase referring to the fact that the contracting parties are united or bound together in wedlock. Quite as reasonable a supposition Is that 1t has come down from the ancient BabyIOnians.
 At any rate 1t was the custom in old Babylonia for the priest who off, ciated at the wedding to take a thread from the garment of the bride and one from a garment of the groom. He, would then knot the two together and present them to the bride, sym bol of the matrimonial tie joining her and her husband.

Clerical Expedient.

The English preacher, Stephen Jenk- ins. was not a highly educated man. but he had a native wit which often helped him out of difficulties. One Sunday while reading as the Scripture lesson the third chapter of Daniel, he came to a batch of words that gave him trouble. At what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute. harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer," etc. Now this list of instruments is repeated sev- eral times in the chapter, and the sec ond time he stumbled through it with even greater difficulty than the first.
 Before he reached it again, however, he had discovered way of escape. So the third time he relieved both him. self and his listeners by reading with the utmost gravity. And the band played as efore."-Boston Transcript

CHAPTER Ix-continued.S

Jumping lightly from rock to rock fin the shallow water of the pool, the bandit approached the cataract, the third leap landing him upon the flat top of a rock almost within the very wash of the falling water. Pausing an instant to pull his hat tight and turn up the collar of his coat. he sprang straight into the thin blade of the falls. His leap must have car ried him completely through to the other side. It was the first the Pearl hunter knew, or even suspected. that there was an open space beyond. So completely did the falling water hide everything back of It that probably the man who had just leaped and the man who watched him were the only two who knew there was any thing back of it.
 The Pearlhunter stretched himself fiat under cover of a cIump of sprouts growing about an old white oak stump. and kept his eyes fixed on the waterfall.
 Time goes slowly to one who watches and waits. It was probably not more than ten minutes. though it seemed far longer. when. without so much as a diverted feck of spray in warning. the waterfall flung forth up- on the fiat-topped rock 1.-the and ac- tive figure that sprang lightly to shore over the two intervening stones.
 Pausing on the brink of the pool barely long enough 10 shake his coat by the lapels ard to knock his hat against his hand. he immediately set out along the bluffs toward the will lage. as unconcerned as if he had not just pulled on about the most sensa- tlonal stunt ever seen by a Flatwoods- man.
 The PearIhunter slipped out Uf the cover and softly followed trailed him up the bluffs. through the corner of the woods and out to the river road where 1t angles north through the cut in the cliffs; listened at the fence. near where the path crossed 1t. till the re- ceding steps were well on their way to the village.

Weighing a Perfume.

It was the Italian physicist Salvioni who devised a microbalance of such extreme delicacy that 1t clearly dem- onstrates the loss of weight of musk by volatilization. Thus the invisible perfume floating off in the air is in- directly weighed. The essential part of the apparatus is very thin thread of glass fixed at one end and extended horizontally. The microscopic objects to be weighed are placed upon the glass thread near it's free end and the amount of flexure produced is ob- served with miscroscope magnifying 100 diameters. A mote weighing one thousandth of a milligram perceptibly bends the thread.

G0 V E STOCK ]
HIGHEST PRICES FOR SWINE Especially Advantageous to Southern Farmer to Study Use of We'll
 Balanced Hog Ration.
Prepared by the United States Depart

Prepared by the United States Depart
 ment of Agriculture)
 Information secured by the bureau Of markets, United States Department of Agriculture, indicates that southern hogs will command prices as high as those paid for hogs from the corn belt if they are properly fed and handled. Nearly 5000 hogs from a single owner in Mississippi have been received at the National stock yards, Illinois, within the past few months and all were firm, finished porkers, which sold well in line with the best that came from other sections of the country. A representative of the bu- reau of markets made some inquiries into the manner in which these hogs were fed. He discovered that the same owner has feeding pens in Iowa as well as in Mississippi, and that he bought his young pigs and fed them a mixed grain ration in connec- tion with corn and tankage. All the animals showed intensive feeding and weighed 250 pounds or over when they arrived at the market
 It would be especially advantage ous to the southern farmer to study the use of the well-balanced grain ra- tions and the complementary adapta- tion of peanuts and velvet beans, which can be grown so abundantly in that section.
 Twelve carloads of hogs were re- ceived from a single Tennessee owner at the same stOckyards. These ani- mals were of distinctly southern type, says the bureau of markets repre-

CHAPTER x.
The Candle In the Granny.

hG OdD0tC AitC VI ON'ys
 All the way back to Fallen Rock the Pearlhunter pondered the scene he had gazed on through the chink in the cabin wall: the mans transfgured face; his actions with the picture-that above alI-the picture. It puzzled him. angered him. That such a mau should have her picture; his mother's-with the darkIy beautiful face and wonder full eyes-warm against his breast Ii was another reason why he should hunt him down.
 The PearIhunter was as brave as the woods make them but it is no dis credit to his manhood to say that his blood ran a little faster as he stepped down off the rock into the water and waded through the falls. Every inch of the way had to be felt out with his fingers before his feet could be trusted to follow.
 The roar of the falls had duIled little when suddenly sound came out of the dark just ahead-a sound like garment rubbing against some rough surface. The PearIhunter stepped to one side of the passage and fiattened himself against the wall. Out of the dead silence the sound c.ime again. grin IOosened his fa4e. The very sound Ire had half exrected-a horse contentedly munching his hay.
 The Pearlhunter >.ame out from against the wall anf inched his way deeper into the blackness of the pass age. It abruptly widened until he was no longer able to reach from one wall to the other with his outsrretched arms. Though denied the use of his eyes. he knew that the passage broad Iy expanded just there and became a cave. He stood in the very entrance of 1t.
 The next step-there was no heln for it-light Desperate and danger ous-the first spark. and the cave might spring to life. Still. 1t was bet ter than to stumble over a sleeping man; or walk into knife. With his revolver balanced. his face to the open cave he reached his left hand along flse wall to the farthest stretch of his hrm bringing his body as far as possi- hie from the light, and with his fin gers fumbled out a spot suitably cmooth and dry-for there must be no failure. The match scraped. A tiny flame leaped away from the rock. It lighted up the place surprisingly.
 The cave was not large-hardly twice the size of an ordinary room. The first swift glance showed him that except for the horse-it was empty.
 The stub of a candle caught his eye, stuck by it's own tallow, to an out ssunding stool of shale just beyond the mouth of the passage. He crossed the passage and held the match to the wick. In the better light he studied the place more closely.
 The cave could not have been far below the ground. for an oak root had found It's way through the wall. It was to this that the horse was tied.
 For a moment he was strongly tempted to stay where he was till his prey returned the following night and then rid the FlatwOOds of him, and trust what evidence he already had to prove his case.
 But better plan had been forming ever since he came into the cave, and there was much yet to be done; though the cave would have made a good hid Ing place during the coming day-al- ways provided the bandidt did not chance to return before his time.
