SHEEP INDUSTRY PROFITABLE
Necessary to WeiI-Balanced AgricuI-
ture and Pays Well If Herds
Are Handled Right.

In this country the sheep industry
has had frequent ups and downs, and
recently it has been very much de-
pressed, but it is an industry necessary
to a well-balanced agriculture and
usually it pays fairly good returns
when flocks are properly handled. Wool
is a staple commodity and mutton is
a regular part of our diet, though it is
much less used than beef or pork. Con-
ditions in many parts of the United
States are excellent for sheep raising
and there can be little doubt that with
in a relatively short time the sheep will
be more profitable than during the past
year.
Present conditions Of depression are
abnormal, just as the period of UNI
usual prosperity was abnormal There
is a surplus of wool on hand in the
country now, but it is being used up
faster than it is being replaced by pro-
duction on American farms. Even now
mutton and lamb are in sufficient de-
mand so that, in connection with wool,
sheep raising is good business. In
the farming areas more attention is
paid to mutton making; the range
men have given more attention to WOOL.
but now depend more on the returns
for lamb and mutton than they have

When Walter Scott entertained at his
home the half-insane antiquary, Joseph
RitSon, was it the urbane poet or the
Unbalanced editor of accurate texts
who was more temperamental? In
the famous quarrel between Furnivall
and Swinburne the noted Shakes
peare scholar proved himself slightly
more erratic than even the most
temperamental poet of the Nineteenth
century. Everybody knows that Byron
got half drunk to write don Juan"
How many realize that the great uni

thirst, pouring out hexameters and

Cap or Skin?

In probably the last speech Booker
7. Washington ever made, an address
at the anniversary exercises of the
American Missionary association in
New Haven. with that quiet humor so
characteristic of him, he satirfzed the
prejudice against his people. "A men,
Der of my race" he said, wanted to
go from New York to San Francisco
He wanted to travel frst-class in a
Pullman sleeper. He bought a red
cap-fez, think you call it-forgot

East Indian, and no one objected. 1t

skin, but the color of the cap to which

CHAPTER XII.
The Island Queens Freight.

I woke next morning with a great
thrill of exhilaration. Perhaps before
the sun went down again 1 should
know the secret of the island.
The two divisions of our party,
which were designated by me private
ly the Land and Sea Forces, went
their separate ways directly after
breakfast, which we ate in the cool
of earliest morning. could retire to
the perusal of the Journal which
had recovered from the wrecked sloop
without fear of interruption.
resumed my reading with the en-
try of February 10.
This morning, having grown very
tired of fish, of which 1 get plenty
every time 1 go out in the boat, by
dragging a line behind, 1 decided to
stay ashore and hunt pig. 1 set out
across the base of the point, nearly
due south-whereas had been work
ing along the coast to the north of
the cove. 1 reached the edge of the
cliffs and found that on my right hand
the mountain dropped in a sheer
precipice from hundreds of feet above
me straight into the sea. 1 consid-
cred, and made up my mind that by
striking back some distance one
might by a very rough climb gain the
top of the precipice, and so swing
around the shoulder of the mountain.
/ did not feel inclined to attempt it.
The cliffs at this point offered no
means of descent, and the few yards
of sand which the receding tide had
left bare at their foot led nowhere.
81 turned to go back, and at that mo-
ment I heard an cutlery in the bushes
and Benny came tearing out at the
heels of fine young porker. 1 threw
up my gun to fire, but the evolutions
of Benny and the pig were such that
was as likely to hit one as the other.
The pig, of course, made desperate
efforts to escape from the cul-de-sac
in which he found himself. His only
hope was to get back into the woods
on the point. Benny kept him headed
off successfully, and I began to edge
up, watching my chance for a shot.
Suddenly the pig came dashing
straight toward me-oblivious, I sup
pose. to everything but the white
swapping terror at his heels. Taken
by surprise, 1 fired-and missed. The
pig shot between my knees, Benny
after him. I withstood the shock of
the pig, but not of Benny. l fell,
clawing wildly, into matted mass OF
creepers that covered the ground be-
side me.
81 got to my feet quickly, dragging
the whole mass of vines up with me.
Then I saw that they had covered a
curiously regular little patch of
ground, outlined at intervals with
small stones. At one end was larger
stone.
"The patch was narrow, about six
feet long--instantly suggestive OF a
grave. But swift beyond all process
Of reason was the certainty that
flashed into my mind. / fell on my
knees beside the stone and pulled
