CHAPTER 11.--Continued. "Of course bell make It," Kearns whispered in Hetties' ear. "And there's Ave hundred Daylight's back in sixty days," he added aloud. Billy Rawlins closed with the wager, and Bettles hugged Kearns ecstatical­ ly. "By Yupiter, I ban take that bet." Olaf Henderson said, dragging Day­ light away from Bettles and Kearns. "Winner pays!" Daylight shouted, closing the wager. "And I'm sure (go­ ing to win, and sixty days is a long time between drinks, so 1 pay now. Name your brand, you hochinoos! Name rour brand!" Somebody opened the outer door. A •ague gray light filtered in. "Burning Daylight. Burning Day­ light." 6ome one called warningly. Daylight paused for nothing, head­ ing for the door apd pulling down his ear-flaps. Kama stood outside by the 6led, a long, narrow affair, sixteen Inches wide and seven and a half feet In length, its slatted bottom raised six Inches above the steel-shod runners On it, lashed with thongs of moose hide, were the light canvas baga that contained the mail, and the food and gear for dcgs and Tien In front of it. In a single line, lay curled five frost-rimmed dogs. They were husk­ ies. matched in size and color, all un­ usually large and all gray. From their cruel jaws to their bushy tails they were as like as peas in their likeness to timber wolves Wolves they were, domesticated, it was true, but wolves in appearance and In all their charac­ teristics. On top the sled load, thrust under the lashings and ready for im­ mediate use. were two pairs of snow- shoes Daylight was saying good-by to those who clustered around him. The Virgin wanted to kiss him. and, fuddled slightly though he was with the whisky, he saw his way out with­ out compromising with the apron- etrlng. He kissed the Virgin, but be kissed the other three women with equal partiality. He pulled on bis long mittens, roused)the dogs to their feet, and took his place at the gee- pole. "Mush, you beauties!" he cried. The animals threw their weights against their breastbands on the in­ stant, crouching low to the snow and digging in their claws. They whined eagerly, and before the sled had gone half a dozen lengths both Daylight and Kama (in the rear) were running to keep up. And so. running, man and dogs dipped over the bank and down to the frozen bed of the Yukon, and in the gray light were gone. On the river, where was a packed trail and where snowshoes were unnecessary, the dogs averaged six miles an hour To keep up with them, the two men were compelled to run. Daylight and Kama relieved each other regularly at the gee-pole, tor here was the hard work of steering the flying sled and of keeping iD advance of it. The man relieved dropped behind the sled, oc­ casionally leaping upon it and resting As if through a wall. Daylight had passed from the hum and roar of the Tlvoll Into another world--a world or silence and immobility. Nothing stirred. The Yukon slept under a coat of Ice three feel thick. The cold snap continued. Only men of iron kept the trail at such low temperatures, and Kama and Day­ light were picked men of their races But Kama knew the other was the bet­ ter man. and thus, at the start, he was himself foredoomed to defeat Not that he slackened his effort or willing­ ness by the slightest degree, but that he was beaten by the burden be car­ ried in his mind His attitude toward Daylight was worshipful. Stoical, tac­ iturn. proud of his physical prowess, he found all these qualities incarnated In his white companion. behind him raged a snow storm that would have delayed him twenty-four hours. This last excessive strain broke Kama completely. In the morning be could not travel At flve. when called, he sat up after a struggle, groaned, and sank back again Daylight did the camp work of both, harnessed the dogs. and. when ready for the start, rolled the helpless Indian in all three sleeping robes and lashed him on top of the sled The going was good; they were on their last lap; and he raced the dogs down through Dyea canyon and along the hard-packed trail that led to Dyea post And running still. l(ama groaning on top the load, and Daylight leaping at the gee-pole to avoid going nnder the runners of the flying sled, they arrived at Dyea by the sea. True to his promise. Day­ light did not stop. An hour's time saw the sled loaded with the ingoing mail and grub, fresh dogs harnessed and a fresh Indian engaged. Kama never spoke from the time of his arrival till the moment Daylight, ready to depart stood beside him to say good-by. They shook hands. "You kill am dat damn Indian." Kama said. "Savvee. Daylight? You kill Bin." "He'll sure last as far as Pelly." Daylight grinned. Kama shook his head doubtfully, and rolled over on his side, turning his back in token of farewell. • • • A crowd filled the Tlvoll--the old crowd that had seen Daylight depart games, the bit stove, the wether at the gold-scales, the musicians,, the men and women, the Virgin. Cella. and Nellie, Dan MacDonald. Bettles, Billy Rawlins, Olaf Henderson, Doc Watson--all of them. It was Just as he had left It. and In all seeming It might well be the very day he had left The sixty days of incessant trav­ el through the white wildernesa sud­ denly telescoped, and had no exla- ^ tence in time. They were a moment, an Incident He had plunged out and Into them through the wall of silence, and back through the wall of silence be had plunged, apparently the next instant, and into the roar and tur­ moil of the Tlvoll. He drew a deep breath and cried: "The winner pays, and J'm the win­ ner. ain't I? Surge up. you-all Male- mutes and Slwashes. and name your poison! There's your Dyea mail, straight from Salt Water, and no horn- swogglin about it! Cast the lashings adrift you-all, and wade Into It!" A dozen pairs of hands were at the ^led-lashings. when the young Le Barge Indian, bending at the same 'ask, suddenly and limply straight* "ned up. In his eyes was a great sur- rise. He stared about him wildly, ^r the thing he was undergoing was :ew to him. He was profoundly struck by an unguessed limitation. He shook as with a palsy, and he gave at tbe knees, slowly sinking down to fall suddenly across the sled and to know the smashing blow of darkness across his consciousness. "Exhaustion." said Daylight "Take him off and put him to bed. some of you-all. He's sure a good Indian " A few minutes later. Daylight was whirling around the dance-floor, waltz­ ing with the Virgin. And small won­ der it was that the Virgin yielded her­ self to his arms, as they danced dance CHAPTER III. At Sixty Mile they restocked provi­ sions. added a few pounds of letters to their load, and held steadily on. From Forty Mile they had unbroken trail, and they could look for­ ward only to unbroken trail clear to Dyea. Daylight stood it magnificently, but the killing pace was beginning to tell on Kama His pride kept his mouth shut, but the result of the chilling of bis lungs in the cold snap could not be con­ cealed They traveled till ten o'clock the nig^t they reached Selkirk, and at six next morning they plunged ahead Into the next stretch of wilderness of nearly flve hundred miles that lay be­ tween Selkirk and Dyea. There was no let-up in his pace. Twelve hours a day. six in the twilight and six In the dark, they tolled on the trail. Three hours were consumed in cook­ ing. repairing harnesses, and making and breaking camp, and the remaining nine hours dogs and men slept as if dead. The time came when Kama was un­ able to go in the lead and break trail, and It was proof that he was far gone when he permitted Daylight to toil all day at the heavy snowsboe worlt. Lake by lake they crossed the string of lakes from Marsh to Llnderman. and began the ascent of Chllcoot By all rights Daylight should have camped below tbe last pitch of the pass at tbe dim end of day; but he kept on and over and down to Sheep Camp, while h A The Time Came When Kama Was Unable to Go In the Lead. two months before; for this was the night of the sixtieth day, and opinion was divided as ever as to whether or not be would compass the achieve­ ment At ten o'clock bets were still being made, though the odds rose, bet by bet, against his success. Dowr in her heart tbe Virgin believed be bad failed, yet she made a bet of twenty ounces with Charley Bates, against forty ounces, that Daylight would ar­ rive before midnight She it was who heard the first yelps of the dogs. "Listen!" she cried. "It's Day­ light!" There was a general stampede for the door; but when the double storm- doors were thrown wide open, the crowd fell back. They heard the eager whining of dogs, the snap of a dog- whip and the voice of Daylight crying encouragement as the weary animals capped all they had done by dragging the sled in over the wooden floor. They came in with a rush, and with them rushed in the frost, a visible vapor of Bmoking white, through which their heads and hacks showed, ad they strained In the harness, till they had all the seeming of swimming in a river. Behind them, at the gee- poie. came Daylight, hidden to the knees by the swirling frost through which he appeared to wade. He vras the same old Daylight, withal 'lean and tired-looking, and bis black eyes were sparkling and flashing brighter than ever. His parka of cotton drill hooded him like a monk, and fell In straight lines to his knees. Grimed and scorched by camp-smoke and fire, the garment in itself tote* the story of his trip A two-months* beard cov­ ered his face; and the beard. In turn, was matted with tbe Ice of his breath­ ing through the long seventy-mile run. He experienced a thrill of surprise as the roar of welcome went up and as every familiar detail of the Tivoli greeted his vision--the long bar and the array of bottles, the gambling after dance, and sick at heart at tbe knowledge that he found nothing in her more than a good friend and an excellent dancer. Small consolation it was to know that he never loved any woman. She was sick with love of him, and he danced with her as he would dance with any woman, as be would dance with a man who was a good dancer and upon whose arm was tied a handkerchief to conventionalize him into a woman. At one in the morning he saw Elijah Davis herding Henry Finn and Joe Hlnea, the lumber-jack, toward the door. Daylight Interfered. "Where are you-all going?" he, de­ manded. attempting to draw them to the bar. "Bed." Elijah Davis answered. "Got to." Joe Hines added apolo­ getically. "We're mushing out tn the mornln'." Daylight still detained them. "Where to? What's the excite­ ment?" "No excitement," Elijah explained "We're Just a-goin' to play your hunch, an' tackle the Upper Country. Don't you want to come along?" "I sure do." Daylight affirmed. But the question had been put In fun, and Flijah ignored the accept­ ance. "We're tack tin' the Stewart." he went on. "Al Mayo told me he seen some likely lookin' bars first time he come down the Stewart and we're goin' to sample 'em while the river's froze. You listen, Daylight an' mark my words, the time's oomin' when winter diggln's '11 be all the go. There'll be men tn them days that'll laugh at our summer scratchin' an' ground-wallerln' " EHijah laughed, gathered his two partners up. and was making a second attempt to reach the door. "Hold on." Daylight called. "1 sure mean It." The three men turned back sudden­ ly upon him, in their faces surprise, delight, and incredulity. "G'wan. you're foolln'," said Finn, the other lumber-Jack, a quiet, steady. Wisconsin man. "There's my dawgs and sled." Day­ light answered. "That'll make two teams and halve the loads; though we-all 'II have to travel easy for a spell, for them dawgs is sure tired." The three men were overjoyed, but still a trifle Incredulous "Now look here," Joe Hines blurted out, "none of your ,foolln'. Daylight We mean business. Will you come?" Daylight extended bis hand and shook. CHAPTER IV. This time the trail was easier. It was better packed, and they were not carrying mall against time. At Forty Mile they laid over two days for the sake of the dogs, and at Sixty Mile Daylight's team was left with the trader. Unlike Daylight, after the terrible run from Selkirk to Circle City, they had been unable to recup­ erate on the back trail. So tbe four men pulled on from Sixty Mile with a fresh team of dogs on Daylight's sled. The following night they camped in the cluster of islands at the mouth of the Stewart Daylight talked town sites, and. though the others laughed at him. be staked tho whole maze of high, wooded island. "Just supposing the big strike does come on the Stewart," he argued. "Mebbe you-all '11 be in on it, and then again mebbe you-all won't But I sure will. You-all 'd better reconsider and go in with me on it." But they were stubborn. "You'r^ as bad as Harper and Joe Ijidue." said Joe Hines "They're al­ ways at that game. You know that big flat Jest below the Klondike and under Moosehlde Mountain? Well, the recorder at Forty Mile was tellin' me they staked that not a month ago --The Harper & La due Town Site. I la! Ha! Ha!" Elijah and Finn Joln«»d in Ms laugh­ ter; but Daylight was gravely in earn­ est "There she is!" he cried. "The hunch Is working! It's in the air. I tell you-all! What'd thpy-all stake the big flat for If they-all didn't get the hunch? Wish I'd staked It" Tbe regret in his voice was provoc* tive of a Becond burst of laughter. "Laugh, dang you. laugh!

There was nothing in their ap­ pearance to predict this difference in productiveness. BY LOUIE H. 8MITtf, Professor of Plant Breeding, Unlven- slty of Illinois. The only way to determine whether a seed, ear will produce is to test It Herein lies the Importance of the breeding plot where all the seed ears are subjected to a performance test as regards their yielding capacity, and only those are chosen for further prop­ agation that actually prove themselves to be the most productive. As showing the effectiveness of the breeding plot, an increase of 9.5 bush­ els of corn per acre was obtained as the result of four years of breeding at the Nebraska experiment station, where seed from the breeding plot was compared with that produced from the same original stock but not bred. The question then arises, shall every farmer become a corn breeder for the sake of this Improvement? Not neces­ sarily so, any more than that every farmer should become a breeder of pedigreed live stock. But although every farmer may not be a corn breed- er himself, he should be vitally inter­ ested In the matter. Some individual, however, in every community ought to have this interest especially at heart and ought to be conducting a breeding plot for the improvement of corn for his locality for the benefit of himself and his neighbors, and in this enter­ prise he ought to have the support in the way of Interest and sympathy, if not the patronage of every progres­ sive farmer In that community. FEEDING VALUE OF SOME FARM CROPS By PROF. W. J. FRASER, Dairy Department, University of Illinois. The object of the dairy farmer, so far as the crop side of his work is concerned, should be to raise those crops that will produce the largest number of pounds of digestible nutri­ ents per acre and at the same time make a palatable and well balanced ration for dairy cows. Most farmers give little thought to this real econom­ ic basis for determining which crops should be raised. On good, well drained land, corn and alfalfa will produce from two to four times as much digestible nutrients per acre as any oi the other crops commonly raised on the farm and, in addition to this, are palatable and well adapted to the feeding of dairy cow- It is not necessary to encourage fart­ ers of the central west to grow corn., as this is already grown extensively, but the serious difficulty with most dairymen Is that they usually grow timothy hay, millet, or some crop that kind to supplement the corn. T1 result is that the corn, already hlfcn in carbohydrates, when supplemented with such a crop as timothy hay neces­ sitates the feeding and nearly always the purchase of large amounts of high- priced feed rich in protein to balance tbe ration. Alfalfa produces over ten times as much digestible protein per acre as does timothy and baB still another value of being much more palatable and keeping the cow's system in bet­ ter physical condition. A yield of four tons of alfalfa hay will furnish 4,400 pounds of digestible nutrients containing 480 pounds of di­ gestible protein per acre; this is as much as is contained In an equal While the best results are to be ex­ pected from the use of the systematic breeding plot, there is much improve­ ment to be gained in good field selec­ tion as compared with the ordinary way of picking the seed corn out of the crib. In the selection of seed corn much Importance has been attached to the appearance of the ear and too little consideration given to the plant that bears the nr. It should be re­ membered that the characters of the plant are Just as certainly transmitted through the seed as are those of the ear. On this account seed corn should be selected In the fielh from the stand­ ing plants, and early enough so that the conditions of maturity scan be ta­ ken into account. This method makes it possible also to take Into considera­ tion certain desirable characteristics of the plant such as slse of stalk, height at which the ear Is borne, posi­ tion of the ear, whether upright or drooping, and, what is of great Impor­ tance, something of the environment under which the plant Is produced. Other things being equal, only plants growing In a full stand should be chos&n. In a carefully conducted test com­ paring the productiveness of Beed se­ lected In this way from the plant, with that selected from the crib, the Ohio experiment station made, an increase of 3.25 bushels per acre, this being the result of a single year In which no con­ tinued breeding la involved. 1.37 acres of land to support a cow a year on a ration composed of these crops, while 1.37 acres of blue grass pasture will Bupport the same cow only 78 days, or about one-fifth as long. This would Indicate that on high-priced tillable land where It is deRlred to practice intensive methods, corn and alfalfa should be largely grown and that pasture acreage should be reduced to a minimum. To show the great value and econ­ omy of corn silage and alfalfa as feed for dairy cows the department of dairy husbandry fed twelve grade cows on a ration composed entirely of these feeds for pertoas varying from eighteen months to over two years, no grain being fed during this time. The silage was made from fairly heavily eared corn. The twelve cows averaged 8,259 pounds of milk and 290 pounds butter fat for the year.

When my bands first started to got sore, there were small blisters like wa­ ter blisters which formed. They itched dreadfully, it just seemed aa though I could tear the skin all off.
