gone very slowly, carrying this heavy
weight. They had stopped frequently
to rest and had laid their burden
down. Then suddenly he came to a
place where plainly longer halt had
been made.
The ground was trampled around
this spot; when the tracks went on
they were changed in character. The
two men were still carrying the third
"a heavy man whose weight strained
them and made their feet sink in
deeply where the ground was soft.
But now they were not careful how
they carried him, but went forward
merely as though bearing a oeao
weight. Now, too, no more stains ap-
peared on the brown leaves where
they had passed; their burden no
longer bled. Eaton, realizing what
this meant, felt neither exultation
nor surprise. He had known that the
man they carried, though evidently
alive when taken from the car. was
dying. But now he watched the tracks
more closely even than before, look
ing for them to show him where the
men had got rid of their burden.
1t was quite plain what had oc-
Cured; the wet sand below was tram
pied by the feet of three or four men
and cut by boats bow. They had
taken the body away with them in the
boat. To sink it somewhere weighted
with heavy stones in the deep water?
Eaton's search was hopeless now.
But it could not be so; it must not
be so! Eaton's eyes searched fever
ishly the shore and the lake. But
there was nothing in sight upon either.
He crept back from the edge Of the
bluff, hiding beside a fallen log
banked with dead leaves. What was
it he had said to Harriet? 81 will
come back to you-as you have never
known me before" He rehearsed the
words in mockery. How would he re-
turn to her now? AS he moved a
fierce, hot pain from the clotted wound
in his shoulder shot him through and
through with agony and the silence
and darkness of Inconsistencies over
whelmed him.

The picture was a plain, unre-

square cardboard without photogra-
piers emboss or signature; and
printed with the picture, were four
plain, distinct numerals-S253. She
did not know what they meant or if
they had any real significance, but

CHAPTER xxi
Not Eaton-overton.


Santoine awoke at five o'clock. The
blind man felt strong and steady; he
had food brought him; while he was
eating it, his messenger returned.
Santoine saw the man alone and,
when he had dismissed him, he sent
for his daughter.
Harriet went up to him fearfully.
The blind man seemed calm and quiet
thin, square packet lay on the bed
beside him; he held it out to her
without speaking.
She snatched it in dread; the shape
Of the packet and the manner in
which it was fastened told her it
must be a photograph. "Open it," her
father directed.
What is it you want to know, Fa-
ther?" she asked
"That is the picture of EatonT"
eyes"
81 thought So"
She tried to assure herself Of the
shade of the meaning in her fathers
tone; but she could not. She under
stood that her recognition Of the pic
ture had satisfied him in regard to
something over which he had seen In
doubt; but whether this was to work
in favor of Hugh and herself-she
thought Of herself now inseparably
with Hugh-or whether 1t threatened
them, she could not tell.
Father, what does this meanT' she
cried to him.
what, dear"
"Your having the picture. Where
did you get it?"
81 knew where it might be. 1 sent
for it."

her now that her father must know
who Hugh was. "Who-"

EYES,"
"Send for him. Tell him wish to
see him here at the house; he is to
remain within the house until I have
seen him"
Something in her fathers tone
startled and perplexed her; she
thought Of Donald now only as the
most eager and most vindictive Of
Eatons pursuerS Was her father
removing Donald from among those
seeking Eaton7 Was he sending for
him because what he had just learned
was something which would make
more rigorous and desperate the
search? The blind mans look and
manner told her nothing.
you mean Donald is to walt here
until you send for him, Father?"
"That is it."
1t was the blind mans tone of dis
missal. He seemed to have forgotten
the picture; at least, as his daughter
moved toward the door. he gave no
direction concerning it. She halted,
looking back at him. She would not
carry the picture away, secretly, like
this. She was not ashamed of her
love for Eaton whatever might be said

Rotation to Prevent
Disorders of Beans
Hand Pick Disease-Free
Pods to Use for Seeding.

Plant beans on the same land not
oftener than once in three or -four
years. particularly if disease has been
prevalent. Soils which once become
thoroughly infected as result of con
tinuous cropping are seldom safe ia
use for the same or closely related
crops for years to come.
Wherever practical, destroy all dis
eased vines and trash by burning.
If the bean straw from diseased
vines Is to be fed, do not use the
manure on field that is to be planted
to beans.
AS far as possible avoid cultivating
the beans early in the morning when
there is dew on them, or when they
nre wet with rain.
Hand pick disease-free pods, or If
possible, select disease-free plants
for seed Use these to plant seed
plot on land which has never raised
beans, and which is removed some
distance from the main crop.
Remember that hand picking of seed
as it comes from the fall or thrasher
for the purpose of controlling disease
is Of no value, since 1t is impossible
to detect even a small percentage Of
diseased seed.
Seed treatment of beans is of no
practical value, since any chemical
that would penetrate the seed deeply
enough to destroy the disease-produc-
ing organism would likewise be apt
to kill the seed.

Sheep Raising Spurred
by Advance in Prices

1.-THE farmer who has the equipment
and feeds at hand should be encour-
aged in raising lambs" says Phil A.
Anderson of the animal husbandry di-
vision, University Of Minnesota But
farmers entering this field should go
slowly at first and study the require
ments very thoroughly" he adds.
Mr.. Anderson makes the foregoing
statement in view of the greatly in
creased interest exhibited in sheep pro-
duction the last few months, which has
been brought about by advancing
prices for wool, steady lamb market
and good profits made in feeding lambs
during 1921-1922.
Stocks of wool, which accumulated
during the war and Immediately after,
have now been converted into merchan-
disc. Manufacturers short of mill sup
plies and eager to keep the mills going
have become anxious to buy, causing
the price to go up.
prices of lambs have been at S12 to
SIS per 100 pounds for long time,
with a variation of 50 to $3.50 for
shorn lambs" says Professor Anderson.
Such prices should be an inducement
Tor many FARMERS TO nave HOckS OF 70
to 35 ewes or more which will consume
green food perhaps otherwise wasted
and convert it into marketable
product With wool and market stock
high in price, because Of decrease in
the number of sheep in the United
States and the action of the new pro-
tective tariff, our sheep breeders can
surely compete with the breeders of
other countries"

Find Silage Profitable
as Feed for BABY Reeves

Recent feeding tests with baby
beeves at the Minnesota experiment
station show that silage can be prof
itably used in fattening baby beeves.
In the tests, which were conducted by
w II. Peters and n. X. CarneS, calves
getting silage, plus full feed of grain.
fed more regularly and required less
s1illful and careful feeding than calves
getting heavy feed of grain and no
silage.
The silage-fed calves gained 2.36
pounds per head per day as an average
of a 196-day feeding period, while the
calves fed without silage gained at the
rate of 2.22 pounds per head per day.
Although the calves fed without silage
were vaNed at 10 cents per hundred
pounds above those which had silage,
the silage-fed calves showed a net
profit of $17.9O per head while those
without Silage made profit of Sigh
per head.
In another test barley proved prac-
tically equal to corn, pound for pound,
in making gains on fattening calves
However, because Of the greater cost
of the barley and the smaller saving
of feed made by hogs following, the
corn-fed calves showed a profit of
$16.15 per head, while the profit on
those fed barley was but $691 per
head.
Pure bred beef calves, high-grade
beef calves and common calves show
ing some traces of beef breeding made
similar gains on similar amounts of
feed. The difference in selling price
was marked however tha nure hredS
bringing $SG.7S per head, the grades
$83.45 and the common calves only
$56.1S per head

Five years ago a few men announc-

ators. But it has been done; and in
