T / Harry felt the beauty of the scene Ibut saw and enjoyed more the face of iMm Kelso as he worked and planned Ills own house--no cabin, bu£ a mansion like that of Judge liarper in the "village near bis old home. He had Ifilled every crevice in the rear wall land was working on the front when {he heard the thunder of running feorses and saw figures, dim in a tcloud of dust, flying up the* road Again. He thought of the threat of . PBap McNoll. It occurred to him that the would be In a bad way alone with (those rulflans if they Were coming for v frevenge. He thought of running (toward the grove, which was a few - (rods from the rear door of the house, «bd hiding there. He couldn't bear to ran. Bim and all the rest of thyro •would hear of It. ' So with the sickle la his right hand he stood waiting intttde the house and hoping they •wouldn't stop. They rode up to the •door and dismounted quietly and hobhied their horses. There were five of them who crowded into the cabin with McNoll In the lead. "Now, you young rooster, you're IfOin' to git what's comin' to yon," he growled. The boy faced them bravely and iWaroed them away with his sickle. Bhey were prepared for such emergencies. One of them drew a bag of Iblrd shot from his pocket and hurled St at Harry's hfead. It hit him full In the face and he staggered against the fwall stunned by the blow. They brushed upon the boy and disarmed (and bore him to the floor. For a litt& {time he knew not what was passing, when he came to, his hands ana feet Nprere tied and the men stood near ^cursing and laughing, while their leader, McNoll, was draining a bottle. Suddenly he h&rd a voice trembling -J. - nvith excitement and wet with tears y • iftylng: „ "You go 'way from here or I'll kill you dead. So help me God I'll kill you. If one o' yon touches him he's Coin' to die." 'M,.i He* saw Bim Kelso at the window y * ' ^rlth her gun leveled at the head of fct*' ' Ma Staggered Against tha Wall. JHCNOII. Her face was red with anger, fier eyes glowed. As he looked a tear Celled from one of thepi and trailed Mown the scarlet surfsu^py her cheek. •JUCNOH turned wit!unit a word and talked sulkily out <>f ih« back door. ^The others crowded after him. They : ran as soon as they had got out of the •door. She left the window. In & mowent the young men were galloping •way. Bim came into the house sobbing with emotion but with her head erect. . .iShe stood her gun in. a corner and Iknelt by the helpless boy. He was crying also. Her hair fell upon his li-- ss she looked at the spot of deep •carlft color made by the shot bag. jBhe kissed it and held her cheek "Don't going to fc«nt these ropes." It was as if she had known and ; loved him always. She was a young mother with her first child. Tenderly she wiped his tears away '•with her blond, silken hair. She cut - bis bonds and he rose and stA>d be- ; tore her. Her face changed like magic. "Oh what a &ol rve been!" she * acclaimed. < - "Why so?" lie* asked. « n cried and ! kissed yaf and w against his and whispered: «ry. It's all over now. I'm never have been Introduced to each other." She covered her eyes with her hair and with bent head went out Of the door. "I'll never forget that kiss as long as I live," said the boy as he followed hrf. "I'll never forget your help or your crying either.** "Go away from me--I won't speak to you," she said. "Go back to your work. I'll stay here and keep watch." The boy returned to his task pointing up the Inside walls but his mind and heart were out In the sunlight talking with Bim. Once he looked out of the door and saw uer leanlsg against the neck of the pony, her face hidden,. In his mane. When the sun was low she came to the door and said: "You had better stop now and go home." She looked down at the ground and added: "Please, please, don't tell on me." "Of course not," he answered. "But I hope you jvon't be afraid of me any more." She looked up at him with a little smile. "Do you think I'm afraid of you?" she asked as if it were too absurd to be thought of. She unhitched and mounted her pony but did not go. "I do wish you could raise a mustache," she said, looking wistfully Into his face. "I can't bear to see you look so terribly young; you get worse and worse every time I see yob. I want you to be a regular man right quick." He wondered what he ought to say and presently stammered: "I--J--intend to. I guess I'm more of a man than anybody would think to look at me." . . • "You're too young to ever fall in love, I reckon."' "No, I'm not," he answered with decision. v* "Have you got a raaerf she asked. "No." "I reckon It would be a powerful^ * help. You put soap on your lip and! mow It off with a razor. My father^ says It makes the grass grow." There was a moment of silence during which she brushed the mane of her pony. Then she asked timidly: "Do you like yellow hair?" "Yes, If It looks like yours." "If you dontt mind I'll put a mustache on you Just--Just to look at every time I think of you.** "When I think of you I put violets in your hair," he said. He took a step toward her as he spoke and as he did so she started, her pony. A little way off she checked him and said: "I'm sorry. There are no violets now." She rode away slowly waving her hand and singing with the Joy of a bird in the springtime. That evening when Harry Was helping Samson with the horses he said: "I'm going to tell you a secret 1 wish you wouldn't say anything abont it" * 8amson stood pulling the hair out of his card and looking very stern as he listened while Harry told of the assault upon him and how Bim had arrived and driven the rowdies away with her gun but lie said not a word of her demonstration of tender sympathy. To him, that had clothed the whole adventure with a kind of sanctity so that he could not bear to have It talked about. Samson'8 eyes glowed with anger. They searched the face of the boy. His voice was deep and solemn when he said: "This is a serious matter. Why do you wish to keep it a secret?" The boy blushed. For a moment he knew not what to say. Then he spoke: "It ain't nie so much--it's her," he managed to say. "She wouldn't want It to be talked about and I don't either." Samson began to understand. "She's quite a girl, I guess," he said thoughtfully. "She must have the nerve of a man--I declare she must" "Yes-sir-ee! They'd 'a' got hurt If they hadn't gone away, that's sure, said, Harry. "We'll look out for them after this," Samson rejoined. "The first time I meet that man McNoll he'll have to settle with me and hell pay cash on the nail." Bim, having heard of Harry's part in Abe's fight and of the fact that he was to be working alone all day at the new house, had ridden out through the woods to the open prairie and hunted In sight of the new cabin that afternoon. Unwilling to confess her extreme interest in the boy she had said not a word of her brave act. It was not shame; it was partly a kind of rebellion against the tyranny of youthful ardor; It was partly the fear of ridicule. So\t happened that the adventure of Harry Needles made scarcely a ripple on the sensitive surface of the village life. It will be seen, however, that It had started strong undercurrents likely, In time, to make themselves felt \^* The house and barn were finished, whereupon damson and Harry drove to Springfield--a muddy, crude and growing village with thick woods on Its north side--and bought furniture. Their wagon was loaded and they were ready to start for home. They were walking on the main street when Harry touched Samson's arm and whispered: • , "There's ftlcNoll and Callyhan." The pair were walklngaSfew steps ahead of Samson and Harry. In a second Samson's big hand w^s on Mc- The other turned with a scared, look. "What do you want o' me?" he demanded. - Samson threw him to the ground with a Jerk so strong ftndjtloleht that it rent the sleeve from hip shoulder. McNall's companion, who had felt the weight of Samson's hand and had had enough of It, turned and ran. "What do ye want o' me?" McNpll asked again as he stt-uggled to free himself. , "What do I want o' you--yon pony little coward," said Samson, as he lifted the bully to his feet and gave him a toss and swung him In the air and continued to address him. "I'm Just goln' to muss you up pumper. Jf you don't say you're sorry antf m£an It I'll put a tow string on your neck and give you to some one that wants a dog." "I'm sorry," said McNoll. "Honest I am1 I was drunk when I done It." Samson released his prisoner. A number in the crowd which had gatb- "I'm J net Goln' te Muss Yen Proper.* Up Noll's shoulder. "This is Mr. McNoll, Samson. Vii'" ered around them clapped their hands and shouted, "Hurrah. for the stranger!" A constable took Samson's hand and said: "You deserve a vote of thanks. That man and his friends have made me more trouble than all the rest of the drinking men put together." 'And I am making trouble for myself," said Samson. "I have made myself ashamed. I am no fighting man, I was never in such a muss on a public street before and with God's help it will never happen again." "Where do you Uve1" the officer asked. "In New Salem." - s ; "I wish it was here. We need men like you." / ^ Samson wrote in his diary6 "On the way home my heart was sore. I prayed in silence that God would forgive me for my ba<^* example to the boy. I promised that* I would not again misuse the strength He has given me. In my old home I would have been disgraced by it. The minister would have preached of the destruction that follows the violent man to put him down; the people would have looked askance at me. Deacon Somers would have called me aside to look into my soujl, and Judge Grandy and his wife Would not have invited me to their parties. Here ifs different. A chap who can take thfe law In his hands and bring the evil man to his senses, even if he has to hit him over the head, is looked up to. It's a reckless country. You feel It as soon as you get here. In time, I fear, I shall be as headlong as the rest of them. Some way the nev^s of my act has got here from Springfield. Sarah was kind of cut up. Jack Kelso has nicknamed me The man with the Iron arms,' and Abe, who Is a better man every way, laughs at my embarrassment and says I ought to feel honored. For one thing Jack Armstrong has become a good citizen. His wife has foxed a pair of breeches for Abe. They say McNoll has left the country. There has been no deviltry here since that day. I guess the gang is broken up--too much iron in Its way." Sarah enjoyed fixing up > the cabin. Jack Kelso had given her some deer and buffalo skins to lay on the floors. The upper room, reached by a stick ladder, had its two beds, one of which Harry occupied. The children slept below In a trundle bed that was pushed under the larger one when it was made up in the morning. "Some time I'm going to put In a wlndletrap and get rid o' that stick ladder." Samson had said. Sarah hgH a!! the arts of the New England home maker. Under her I hand the cabin, in color, atmosphere and general neatness, would have delighted a higher taste than was to be found on the prairies, save in the brain of Kelso, who really had some acquaintance with beauty. To be sure the bed was in one corner, spread with its upper cover knit of gray yarn harmonizing In color with the bark of the log walls. A handsome dark brown bufTalo robe lay beside it The rifle and powder horn were hung above the mantel. The fireplace bad its crane of wrought Iron. Every one In the little village came i to the house warming. The people I were in their best clothea. The women * *- .< ; tj• *. , v t * ' ' " " ' i J*H#*rne in a with white., lefae llso wore a rea Kith Abe. The latter grotesque In his new 11 ctf a better length than pair, but still too short "It isn't fair to blame the trousers or the tailor," he had said when he had tried them_j>n, •'My legs are so long that the imagination of the tailor Is sure to fall short if the cloth dont. Next time I'll have 'em made to measure with a ten-foot pole Instead of a yardstick. . If they're too long I can roll 'em up and let out a link or two when they shrink. Ever since I was a boy I have been troubled with shrinking pants." Abe wore a blue swallow-tall coaj with brass buttons, the tails of which were so short as to be well above the danger of pressure when he sat down. His cowhide shoes had been well blackened; the blue yam of his socks showed above them. "These darned socks of mine are rather proud and conceited," he used tPjfay. "They like to show off." He wore a shirt of white, unbleached cotton, a starched collar and black tie. In speaking of his collar to Samson, he said that he felt- like a wild horse in a box stall. Mentor Graham, the schoolmaster, was there--a smooth-faced man with a large head, sandy hair and a small mustache, who spoke by, note, as It were. Kelso called him the great articulator and said that he walked In the valley of the shadow of Llndley Murray. He seemed to keep a watchful eye on his words, as If they were a lot of schoolboys not to be trusted. They came out with a kind of selfconscious rectitude. The children's games had begun and the little house rang with their songs and laughter, while their elders sat by the fire "and along the walls talking. Ann Rutletfge and Bim Kelso and Harry Needles and John McNeil played with them. In one of the dances all Joined in singing the verses: ~ 1 won't have none o' yer weevily wheat, I won't have nona o' y*r barley; l won't have none o' yer we*vlly wheat, To make a cake for Charley.

When a victim was caught in, tha flying scrimmage at the end of a passage in the game of Prisoners, he or she was brought before the blindfolded Judge: "Heavy,. heavy hahgs over your head," said the constable. "Fine or superfine?" the Judge Inquired. "Fine,"" said the constable, which meant that the victim was a boy. Then the sentence was pronounced and generally it was this: "Go bow to the wittiest, kneel to the prettiest and kiss the one that yon love best" Harry was the first prisoner. He went straight to Bim Kelso and bowed and knelt, and when he had risen she turned and ran like a scared deer around the chairs and the crowd of onlookers, some assisting and some checking her flight, before the nimble youth. Hard pressed, she ran out of the open' door, with a merry laugh, and Just beyond the s,teps Harry caught and kissed her, and her cheeks had the color of "roses when he led her back. '///./ Preparing Poultry Under Modern Conditions for Market (prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Not a day passes that inspectors employed by city, state or federal government, do not condemn food of one kind or another oecause it Is unfit for human consumption. „Sometimes this Is due to deliberate .adulteration, an Intention to defraud the purchasers, but more often it is the result of improper packing, neglect to consider temperatures -to be encountered In transporting frofri point of origin to destination, or failure to consider the time which must necessarily elapse before the product is likely to reach the consumers' tables. All this entails not only great loss in money, likely to be reflected in prices demanded of the public, but also it endangers the public health, because occasionally some unworthy article slips through Inspection and Is served as food. Enough food products spoil every week to form a very important part of the amount needed by the people; and practically ail of It might be saved through Intelligence and care on the part of the producers and shippers. After your chickens are fattened and ready to kill, it will pay you to study the methods of killing, bleeding, picking, chilling and packing described fully In bureau of chemistry circulars: 3, "How to Pick Chickens;" 52, "How to Wrap Heads"; 01, "How to Kill and JJleed MarKet Poultry." Issued by the Department of Agriculture, these circulars may be had by application to the division of publications. The man who hopes to succeed should know everything possible about his proposed market, anii,^ Remands. Broilers In Demgnd. v Ordinarily the demand is for broilers of three sizes--squab broilers, small broilers and large broilers. Squab broilers weigh, dressed, from three-quarters to one pound; small broilers, the size most in demand the greater part of the year, weigh from one to one and a quarter pounds each, and large broilers from one and onehalf to two pounds. Broilers may be^aeld alive or dressed, in the discretion of the shipper; but if dressea, this should be done according to tne demands of the market, and these demands one can learn only by Inquiry and study. Getting the product ready for the buyer In the public market has much to do with the price received. The appearance of the article, the manner in The "Underground Railroad. (TO BE CONTINUED.) HABIT WAS STRONG ON HIM Even Otolith's Word* of Wisdom Failed to Keep Jones' Attention From Wandering. Smith and Jones were personal friends, so one day Smith took a personal friend's liberty and said to Jones: "You mustn't take offense If I speak to you about something I have had on my mind for some time--Just a little habit of yours." Nobody has ever had the nerve to tell you before," Smith continued in a hesitating sort of voice, "and yon are such a splendid, noble fellow." "Yes, yes," answered Jones. » Smith cleared his throat; then, with great determination, launched out: You're one of those fellows who never really know what Is being said to them; you're always pursuing some train of thought Any one can tell half the time you are not listening by the faraway look in your eyes. You've offended a lot of people. Of course, it's terribly rude, only you don't know It. Yon mustn't any more, old chap"-- putting his bands on Jonee' shoulders. Promise me you'll not." Jones was then obliged to ffcee his friend. , Just what were yon saying!** he Inquired in a faraway voice. Renta riigh In 8tone Age. Southern California had apartment profiteers back In the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, according to a scientific correspondent whose inve»> tlRation of the stone age dwellings, hewn out of solid rock, hew convinced him that keeping np an apartment never was a snap. At the entrance to one Blx-apartment cavern he found hieroglyphics, which he haa deciphered IU IUCHU tui rates for apartments as follows: One abejone, one sun. Two abalones, two SUM. „ Three abalones, three suns. ^ ^ ( Twelve abalones, one moon. Our correspondent figures that the home hunters among the Plmugna Indians had to pay at the rate of one abalone a sleep, or day, or 12 abalones per lunar month. The cave was the largest on the Island and comprised the apartment house de luxe of that period. A short distance below the entrance to the stone apartment house the professor fqund a huge pile of empty abalone shells, provlijg that the landlord did a more or less rashini business. which it is packed, and its condition--' these are the points that make a reputation for the shipper. Temperature to Maintain.. L , The tamperstur# of chickens when they are alive is .103 degrees Fahrenheit This must be reduced after killing to 32 degrees Fahrenheit or less before they can be packed for long hauls In refrigerator cars. The time required to chill fowl« usually Is about 24 hours, and the packer must be sure that the body cavity, as well as the skin and flesh, are free from heat before the birds leave the chill room. Failure to 'observe this requirement Is responsible for much of the Ill-conditioned poultry found In the public markets. The range of temperature permitted, too, is small. Below 30 degrees Fahrenheit the flesh is frosted; above -85 degrees Fahrenheit decay proceeds too rapidly to permit of long hauls to distant markets. Of course, the birds can be frozen after they are chilled, and so shipped, and this is a very excellent plan, especially if the haul Is across a hot country, say the specialists in the Department of AgricuHjMe. Packing for Market, It fs customary to pack b^SfiCTfe wl^B the breasts up, and the feet hidden. The prevailing method at present where refrigeration is available, Is to pack the chickens in small boxes holding a dozen each, but small boxes suitable for (me or two chickens have recently been placed on the market. If the business is to be permanent the containers should carry the farm name, or the'name of the shipper if the farm has no name. An attractive advertisement on the box has a great deal to do with marketing, a fact proved long ago to the satisfaction of shrewd business men. Small packages are becoming more and more popular. Two layers of chickens in a box are being discarded for a single layer, it being realized that refrigeration is more perfect if the carcasses do not touch, and If pressure on euch tender tissue as Chicken muscle is eliminated as far as possible. On this account heads are wrapped in waxed paper and turned back where they do not rest against the soft flesh of the breast or thighs. No longer does 'the packer thrust old cocks, broiling chickens and fowls indiscriminately Into a big sugar barrel, pressing them down in his effort to pack tightly, and so bruising the flesh and tearing the skin. Point* the Way to and Health.\OHier Wonw KEEPING DOWN STABLE FLIES Give Stable Refuse P^per Care and Stack Straw So That It Will Not - Be Breeding Hole. The numbers of stable flies can be kept down by taring property for stable refuse and by properly stacking or otherwise disposing of straw in a way that will not make It attractive as a breeding place for the flies. Flies cause much distress among animals and at times heavy losses. Control measures are described In Farmers' Bulletin 1097. It can be had free of charge by writing Division 0< J?*bllcatlons, Washington, D. C. ^ f : ----• BIG VALUE OF FOREST TREES Material 8uppHed for Use on farm, Such as Poles and Wood-Protect Live Stock. Forest trees grown on the farm add to its value and bearfty. THey supply material for farm use, such as poles, posts and cordwood; and they afford shelter for live stock, and protect crops and buildings from the hot winds of summer and the cold winds of winter. Moreover, they often can be grown successfully on soils too poor or on slopes too steep for the successful production of the ordinary.e9$rlcultural crops. * ** APPLY LIMESTONE ANY TIME Usually Done to Best Advantage In Late Summer When Teama and Men Are Available. Limestone may be applied at any. time when men and teams are available, hut this usually Is done to best advantage In late summer, fall or early winter. It will seldom, If ever, pay to put on less than a ton to the acre, and more should be used If the soil Is Very sour. Applications usually are mnM fMnnpntlV thfin 01108 in four to six years. The usual application vpries from one to two^t^ onehalf tone an acre. :- r Sunflower Silage. *' * '1 Sunflowers proved a good croofor silage purposes in experiments at* the Montana Agricultural ^ettege. " The yield was about thirty to forty tons per acre and they made a high quality silage. y'-'.V-; The Water Supply^ ® It is Important at all times to provide fowls liberally with pure, fresh drinking water, but particularly, is thisl the caw during the summer months. INCREASED NITROGEN SUPPLY Element May Be Added by Proper Sell Treatment, Rotation of Crops and Phosphate. The supply of nitrogen, the most costly element of food for plant*, can be increased through proper soli treatment, rotation of crops, the addition of phosphate and limestone and the growing and plowing under of legumes. All stable manure Is to be utilized, and on the older, worn soils of the East and South some commercial nitrogeh may be profitably used. Following a crop that is a heavy nitrogen consumer with one that is a light user is good farm practice. PLAN TO DESTROY CUTWORMS Peats Work at Night and May Be Killed With Aid of Paddle and Flashlight Cutworms sometimes give considerable trouble If the nights are cool and the weather unsettled. A good way to get rid of cutworms In the garden Is to go out In the evening after dark with a flashlight and paddle and kill the peBts. They may be found on the surface at work at night It will take but a short time to get rid of cutworms In the garden. This is a quicker and more reliable way than using poisoned mash. GIVE HARNESS PROPER CARE Made of Good Leather and Heavy Enough, Set Will Laat for at Leaet Fifteen Years. Harness made of good leather and heavy enough for the work required of It will last for many years if cared for properly. It Is more economical to buy harness that Is too heavy than to buy that which is too light for the work. With good care, harness of the proper weight and quality will last at least 15 years, and In many cases nar> ness used on the farm has beeji in service for 25 year^ or longer.
