 Above the sound of cracking wood and the crashing of falling timbers, he thought he heard a mans voice, singing. The wild song, bornd on the breeze that famed the flames until the roof of dried sago-leaves burst into sea Of leap ing Are, grew louder and louder, and, presently, the great form of the planter lurched into view.

BCorrigan caught him by the arm and swung him round to face him. ~T The madman clutched at his coat. but Corrigan got there first. He held 6 blue barrel under Hope Matheson's nose.
 "Out with it, you hell-hound," he shouted, his head thrust for ward. What have you done with her?"
 The planters glassy eyes sur veyed him from head to toe.
 "D'you know who you're talking to-" he demanded drunkenly, way ing one arm like a pump handle. "Bccause, if you don't, I'll tell you"
 Corrigan, beside himself, struck him several times In the chest.
 Quick he almost screamed Where is she?"
 "She Oh. -- Irene"" A cun- ming look came into his eyes. "You're a trife too late. old son." he said. Behold, Her funeral pyre"
 My God" cried Corrigan and plunged in through the doorway under an archway of fire. He heard the maniac shouting incoherently after him. heard him empty his re- volver into the inferno. He found a bedroom, It was unoccupied, but he dipped a towel into water jug %,r 1,t T,, a third apartment, where the blaz- ing roof showered glowing frag- ments, he found her, bound hand and foot. The terror faded from her eyes aS she recognized him even before he had torn the towel from his head. He soaked it again and fastened it round her. then bore her. like a doll, through the tottering ruin into the outer air be- meath the stars.
 The roof crashed in behind him and a furnace, in which no living thing could survive, roared 10 the 1 heavens,
 CorriGan, gulping for breath, car ried her beyond the zone of the cOnnagration He cut her bonds, drawing the rope gently from the raw wounds it had made at her wrists and ankles, With the mois- tened towel he extinguished those portions of their clothing in which the fire had taken hold. Presently he stood back from her, his hands on his hips.
 T might have guessed you had that cat" he said simply, for all the world as fl nothing unusual had happened "She wasn't for i tune teller, that Dusan girl; she was q thought readerl believe now that I loved you when I first sct eyes on you. only circumstances ] had made me blind. She gave you that little hone thing while l was i in my cabin"
 Irene Mstheson nodded. As slr ! looked up at him, resting on both i her hands, Corrigan thought he had i never soen anyone so beautiful in all his life before,
 "She was a thought reader, Cor . rigan," she said. She had never heard his other name. l Suddenly she screamed slond and pointed wildly into what was left of the house.
 Corrigan looked, He saw small head on giant shoulders hang for a moment, twitching convulsively, srotesquely, in the very center of the Inferno then pitch forward 1 into the blaze.
 He held her In front of him on his sturdy pony, cantering toward the dawn.
 She looked up at him through : misted eyes. With that firm arm supporting her. she felt as though
 she could never be tired again.

BUILDING POINTS
TO FARM SUCCETS
FARMERS PROSPERING WHO
ADAPT THEMSELVES TO
LOCAL CONDITIONS.

In spite of the adverse conditions
that all farmers have experienced
the past few years, and in spite of
the adverse publicity that Montana
has had, there seems to be a num-
Der of farmers in Roosevelt county
that have come out on top as indi-
Gated by the number of new and
modern farm homes that are being
constructed this year..
Piercy's $1,000 Bungalow.
Geo. l.. Percy of Bainville, a
farmer of the genuine diversified
type, is building a new, modern
bungalow which will cost around
$1,000, and will be one of the best
little farm homes in the country.
Mr.. Piercy, besides raising better
than a hundred acres of wheat each
year on well prepared land, raised a
large acreage of corn and alfalfa,
milks a number of cows and gen
orally ships at least a carload of hogs
each year. Mr.. Percy was one of
Roosevelt county's outstanding corn
exhibitors at the Northern Montana
Corn show. Besides raising corr
each year, Mr.. Percy has also made
a progressive study of types and va
rieties and has adopted the stan
dards which he believes T the best
adapted to this county, and which
have been very successful in the
past years. AS the result of the
corn variety test which he conducted
last year he is raising an early strain
of a Minnesota %, which was i'm
ported from Northern Minnesota,
and has a number of favorable char
acteristics to certain types of farm
ing. His progressiveness is also not
ed in all his farm operations as he
is very willing to adopt new methods
when it has been demonstrated that
they are superior to the me that
he has been using.
A Summer-Fallow Farmer.
Ben Zimmerman, who lives in the
Divide community, northeast of
Wolf Point, has also completed build
ing a modern little farm cottage.
Mr.. Zimmerman is classified as a
fallow wheat farmer. He
confines his acreage to the limit that
can be successfully handled and each
year has at least 70 acres of No. l
ummer titled land. He also was one
of the first farmers to adopt the ap-
proved strain of Canadian marquis
wheat, which is one factor that has
been responsible for his good yields
of wheat. 1t has also been possible
for him to sell part Of his wheat at
a premium for seed, due to it's quail
ity.
to Introduce Registered Seed.
Mr.. Spencer of the same COM
munity, who is also adding a new
bungalow cottage to his place, has
been q farmer of the progressive
%confning his methods to well
titled wheat acreage, a small band of
beef cattle, a few milk cows and the
Of the best type of Canadian
marquis wheat. Mr.. Spencer was
one Of the two first men in the coun-
ty to introduce registered seed from
Canada and although he has been
carrying it as approved seed, he has
been repaid. In former years most
of the seed was sold right at his
home place, farmers being only too
glad to get it for seed purposes.
