0e1 900, compared with 1887, 900 last

A large crop of oats, probably rec

from 2,61S,0o0 acres, compared with a
production Of 32,973,000 bushels from
2,1G5,00 acres last year.

To ngure the precise ytela ON q bona 4.

To figure the precise yield on q bond Il
IS necessary to use yield tables. but tho
approximate yield can roughly be figured
out by the following formula: Divide the
closing quotation on a bond into the rate
Of the annual return: II the bond is selling
below par you must allow also for the
appreciation of the principal. TO do this
subtract the market quotations from par
or 100, and divide the remainder by tho
number OF years the bond has to run be-
Tore maturity. For example, IL a 6 per
cent bond is selling at 90 and has ten
years to run the annual return will be s.66
per cent. The difference between par and
the market price will be 10 points sub
tracing 90 from 100. Dividing 10 points
by ten years. the ouotient will be /. This
hgure Is 70 be added to 6.66. which 10 the

Ben Littleford threw down his rifle

Dale carried the other end.
Close behind the litter walked Babes

went pale and mentioned the law
but he agreed to stop the s~outhbound.
AS he ordered his tiagnan up the
tracks, the sound Of the fast trains
whistle came to their ears.
The flier came to a screening halt
with sparks streaming from its wheels.
Bill Dale and John Moreland passed
the litter and its burden into the bag
gage a and followed it hastily, and
Ben Littleford climbed In after them.
John Moreland leaned out OF the door
way and ordered HIS son Luke to pass
him his rifle. and Luke obeyed
promptly.
There was a shrek from the whistle,
and the brakes were released; the
train began to gather momentum. A
baggageman approached John More
land and asked why the rife. More
land half closed one keen grey eye
and patted the walnut stock OF his
repeater.
"Oh, 1 jest brought 1t along to see
AT everybody has a straight DEAL" ne

and stood looking down upon the
young woman with sometl%ig like ad-

eyes.
Perfect physique" he said as
though to himself. "She will
have to undergo an operation" he told
Dale. 'The bone there is broken in
slightly, making a compression; she
will doubtless be unconscious until the
pressure is relieved. But she has fine
chances for a quick and entire recov-
cry, with a good surgeon on the job,
so there's not much ground for worry"
Dale was glad. They were all glad.
Ben Littleford laughed nervously In
his sudden JOY. He went down to his
knees beside his daughter, took up
one of her limp hands and stroked it
in a way that was pitiful.
When he arose he spoke cordially
to Moreland. But Moreland didn't re-
ply. He still looked upon his old en-
envy with contempt.
