pany's property. their application was
voted on In meeting Of the members
and rejected by majority vote.
In making his motion to djscharge
the rule and giving his reasons there
fore, Mr., Harmon claimed the rea-
sons they have given as to why the
rule should issue were not sufficient.
They claim that under the rules of
the comptny a man who has been a
member for ten years becomes an
honorary member and as such he cam
not be fined for anything he does ex-
ccpt for disorder and as they denied
disorder they contended they could
not be fined by the company.
Mr.. Harman argued they did not
show i'm their petition that any OF
their alleged rights exist under the
present charter and by laws of the
company had been violated nor do they
show when they were fined and ex-
PEELED Neither do they show the facts
for which they We're expelled and he
did not see how the court could de-
eide what was disorder and whether
they were rightfully fined and expelled
Il they did not set out in their petit
ton the facts of the case.
He contended further that the Pc
tition did not show that at the time
of the fine the petitioner was a MEM
ber of the Delaware Fire Company OF
that he had been deprived of any OF
the rights TO which he was entitled
Neither did the petition show that
the petitioner had the right to ap.
peal and II so that he had exhausted
every recourse open to him befor,
coming into court. In fact he claimed
the way for coming into court hat
not been prepared.
Mr.. Lilly argued that the petitions
was an honorary member OF the com

regulations was exempt from any pen
alties except for disorder. He elaine,

He claimed II was up TO the re

Mrs. Shay returned home. The Snays

to show that Raymond had tried to
entice Mrs. Shay to go to Charleston
and live with him.

Snay in his argument, for dragging

Snay was out for the cold hard cash
and had no other reason for bringing
the suit.

Simply get an ounce of Othine-

should see that even the worst frcck-

voices Of the wilderness. Lennox had
not been mistaken In thinking him a
natural woodsman. He had magma
ton and insight and sympathy; but
most Of all he had heritage of wood
lore from his frontiersmen ancestors.
Two months before he had been
resident of cities. Now the wilder
ness had claimed him, body and soul.
These had been rare days. At first
he had to limit his expeditions to a
few miles each day. and even then he
would come in at night staggering
from WEAKNESS. He climbed hills
that seemed to tear bis diseased lungs
to shreds. Lennox wouldn't have been
afraid, in a crisis, to trust his marks
manShlp now. Re had the natural
cold nerve of a marksman. and one
twilight he brought the body of lynx
tumbling through the branches Of
pine at a distance Of two hundred
yards. He got so he could shatter a
grouse out of the air In the half of
second or so In which its bronze wings
glinted in the shrubbery; and when
a man may do this a fair number OF
times out of ten he is on the straight
road toward greatness.
Then there came a day when Dan
caught his first steelhead in the North
Fork. There Is no more beautiful
thing In the wilderness world than a
steelhead trout In action. He simply
seems to dance on the surface Of the
water, leaping again and again. and
racing at an unheasd-Of speed down

the most advanced races of the Old
World were on the border line between
savagery and barbarism. 1t far ante
dates any but the simplest mechanical
arts. Yet, while our knowledge Of the
laws of nature as they apply to ma
chimes has reached great magnitude
and complexity, 1t has been compara-
lively few years since the principles
Of breeding have been more than a col
lection of unrelated traditional beliefs.
The same superstitions on which the
shepherds of Asia based their practices
at least 30 centuries ago are still wide
ly current, while the one sound princi-
pie known to the ancients-selection OF
the best for breeding stock-is still
much neglected.
The principles of successful animal
breeding, as they have been learned by
practical experience In the United
States and older countries and by care
full scientific study along definite lines,
are outlined In Bulletin 905, recently
issued by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.
This bulletin goes into the first prin-
ciples of reproduction and follows with
the means by which certain character
istics of one or the other parent are
transmitted to the offspring, the meth
DDS of selection best suited to intensity
the desirable characteristics and weed
out the undesirable, the Characters
tics which can with certainty be ex-
pected to continue from one generation
to another, those which are uncertain
and those which cannot be inherited.
Aside from mere Increase in num-
bers, the purposes which the breeder Is
likely to have in mind fall under two
more or less distinct heads, namely,
production Of uniform product, and
improvement. A uniform product de-
ponds on such control over the hered!ty
Of the stock that matings can be made
with the assurance that the offspring
will be Of certain definite type for
which there Is a demand Improvement
Is, of course, closely related to control
over heredlty, but the methods which
give the greatest control are not neces-
sarily those which lead to the most
rapid improvement.
In broad sense the whole subject
of practical breeding comes under the
head of selection. The most obvious
basis for such selection Is the perform
ance Of the animals themselves. I'm
fortunately, the merits of most kinds
of live stock cannot be measured direct
ly. The study of conformation as an
index of useful qualities has according
ly held a high place as a basis for Sc
lection of breeding stock. Live stock
judging has this for its purpose. An
animal of good breeding is better one
to breed than one of equal individual
merit but of mixed or common breed
ing. Pedigree, though often misused,
is valuable aid to selection, apart
from following general policy Of mat
ing. The soundest basis of all for Sc
lection Of breeding stock is the record
OF past performance as breeder. pro-
vided the record is sufficiently exteu
siye to give fair test.

September was Mt its last days on

Dan Failing had gone for his lSt

Under Plane of the fOrest-those
smaller peoples that live In the dust
and have beautiful, tropical forests In
the ferns-found themselves digging
holes and filling them with stores of
food. OF course they had no idea on
earth why they were doing II, except
that culver at the end of their tails
told them to do So but the result was
entirely the same. They would have
a shelter for the winter.
But the most noticeable change of
all, In these days of summer, was
distinct tone of sadness that sound
ed throughout the forest. OF course
the wilderness note Is always some
what sad; but now, as the leaves fell
and the grasses died, It seemed par
ticularly pronounced. All the forest
voices added to 1.-THE wall of the
geese, the sad fluttering of fallen
leaves, and even the whisper of the
north wind. OF course all the tones
and voices of the wilderness sound
clearest at night-fOr that is the time
that the forest really comes to life
and Dan Failing, sitting In front of
Lennox's house, watching the late
September moon rise over Bald noun
tain, could hear them very plainly.
1t was true that in the two months
he had spent in the mountains he had
learned to be very receptive to the
