When at last be desisted, ^•1- , the pan was half empty. The minister laid him gently back in the bunk and stepped to the foot of , the ladder for breath. ThiB made him think of the necessity for air in the i - place and he remembered the little window. It was tightly closed and rusted fast. He went up to the deck, found a martin spike, and, returning, broke the glass. A sharp, cold draught swept through the forecastle, •tirring the garments hanging on the nails. An hoar later, two dories bumped Kagafnst the side of the San Jose. Men, '^1 talking in low tones, climbed over the ^ •'< rail. Burgess was one of them; rv^, Ashamed of his panic, he had returned ^F; jf ? to assist the others in bringing the 3T . vf ibrigantine into a safer anchorage by th# inlet. Dr. Parker, very grave but business- like, reached the deck among the first. W K ' % : wf 'where gfe: Ml" jy?., m'* "Mr. Ellery/' he shouted, are you?" The minister's head and shoulders appeared at the forecastle companion. "'Here I am, doctor," he said. "Will you come down?"

In Which Ebenezer Capen prised. Before sunset that afternoon the San Jose was anchored behind the point by the inlet The fishing boats changed moorings and moved farther up, for not a single one of their owners would trust hlraself within a hundred yards of the stricken brigantine. The largest of the beach shanties, one which stood by* itself a quarter of a mile from the light, waB hurriedly prepared for use as a pesthouse and the sick sailor was carried there on an improvised stretcher. Dr. Parker and Ellery lifted him from h?s berth and, assiisted by old Ebenezer Capen, got him up to the deck and lowered him into the dory. Ebeneier rowed the trio to the beach and the rest of the journey was comparatively easy. The shanty had three rooms, one of which was given up to the patient, one used as a living room, and, in the third, Capen and the minister were to sleep. Mattresses were procured, kind- hearted townspeople donated cast-off tables and chairs, and the building was made as comfortable as it could be, under the circumstances. Sign boards, warning strangers to keep away, were erected, and in addition to them, the Trumet selectmen ordered ropes stretched across the lane on both sides of the shanty. But ropes and signs were superfluous. Trumet in general was in a blue funk and had no desire to approach within a mile of the locality. Even the driver of the grocery cart, when he left the day's supply Of groceries, pushed the packages under the ropes, yelled a hurried "Here you be!" aod, whipping up hie horse, departed at a rattling gal­ lop. The village sat up nights to discuss the affair and every day brought a new sensation. The survivors of the San Jose's crew, a wretched, panic- stricken quartette of mulattos and Portuguese, were apprehended on the outskirts of Denboro, the town below Trumet on the bay side, and were promptly sequestered and fumigated, pending shipment to the hospital at Boston. Their story was short but gruesome. The brigantine was not a Turks Islands boat, but a coaster from Jamaica. She had sailed with a small cargo for Savannah. Two days out and the smallpox made its appearance on board. The sufferer, a negro fore­ mast hand, died. Then another sailor was seized and also died. The skip­ per, who was the owner, was the next victim, and the vessel was in a state of demoralization which the mate, an Englishman named Bradford, could not overcome. Then followed days and nights of calm and terrible heat, of pestilence and all but mutiny. The mate himself died. There was no one left who understood nayigation. At last came a southeast gale and the San Jose drove before it Fair weath­ er found her abreast the Cape. The survivors ran her in after dark, an­ chored, and reached shore in the long­ boat. The sick man whom they had left in. the forecastle wtas a new hand who had shipped at Kingston. His name was Murphy* tbey believed. They had left him because he was sure to die, like the others, and, be­ sides, they knew some one would see the distress signals and Investigate. That was all, yes. Santa Maria! was it not enough? Captain Zeb Mayo went about cheer­ ing for his parson. Mrs. Mayo cooked delicacies to be pushed under the ropes for the minister's consumption. The parish committee, at a special session, voted an increase of salary IHS^O- Dr. Parker Looked at Htm. and ordered a weekly service of pray­ er for the sftte delivery of tbefr ^yo^ng leader from danger. Keziah Coffin was, perhaps, the, one person most disturbed by her parsdn's heroism. She would have gone to the shanty immediately had not Dr. bar­ ker prevented. Even as it waB, she did 'gtfaui far ae the ropes,, but there she was Watted.off by Ebeneaer until Ellery came running out and bade her come no nearer. Keziah, after more cxpp&tjulatioiv w^nt back to tlie par­ sonage. She wrote to Grace and told ht,v the news of, the San Jose, but she said n^thla^ of the minister's part in, It. **POOr thine'.11 alphi;r1 "aha'o mu^ned or lay fn a atupor. gbtae--r acted as day nurse while Ellery slept, and, at night, the minister, being younger, went on watch. The doctor came frequently, but said there was no hope. A Question of time only, and » short time, he said. Capen occupied hlk mind with specu­ lations concerning the patient. "Do you know, parson," he said* "seem's if I'd seen the feller some- wheres afore. 'Course I never have, but when I used to go whalin' v'yages I cruised from one end of creation to t'other, pretty nigh, Anil I might have met him." That night the sick man was much worse. His ravings were incessant. The wooden clock, loaned by Mrs. Par­ ker, the doctor's wife, ticked steadily, although a half hour slow. Ellery, glancing at it to see if the time had come for giving medicine, suddenly noticed how loud its ticking sounded. Wondering at this, he was aware there was no other sound in the heuse. He rose and looked in at the door of the adjoining room. The* patient had ceased to rave and was lying quiet on the bed., The minister tiptoed over to look at him. And, as he did so, the taan opened his eyes. ^"Halloo!" he said faintly. "Who are you?" Ellery, startled, made no answer, "Who are you?" demanded the man again. Then, with an oath, h© re­ peated the question, adding: "What place Is this? This ain't the fo'castle. Where am I?" "You're ashore. On Cape Cod. At Trumet." "Trumet! Trumet!" He was struggling to raise himself on his elbow. Ellery was obliged to use foroe to hold him down. He strug­ gled again. Then his strength and his reason left him simultaneously and the delirium returned. He began to shout a name, a name that caused Ellery to stand upright and step back from the bed, scarcely believing his ears. All the rest of that night the man on the bed raved and muttered, but of people and places and happenings which he had not mentioned before. And the minister, listening intently to every word caught himself wondering If he also was not losing his mind. When the morning came, Ebenezer Capen was awakened by a Bhake to find John Ellery standing over him. "Capen," whispered the minister, "Capen, get up. I must talk with you. You used to be a whaler, I know. Were you acquainted in New Bed* ford 7" "Sartln. Was a time when I could have located every stick In It, pretty nigh, by the smell, If you'd set me down side of 'em blindfolded." "Did you ever know anyone named--" He finished the sentence. "Well's I wanted to. Pretty decent feller one time, but a fast goer, and went downhill like a young one's sled, when he got started. His folks had money, that waB the trouble with him. Why, 'course I knew him. He mar­ ried--" "I know. Now, listen." Ellery went on talking rapidly and with great earnestness. Ebenezer lis­ tened, at first silently, then breaking in with ejaculations and grunts of as­ tonishment. He sat up on the edge of the bed. "Rubbish!" he cried at last. "Why, 'taln't possible! The feller's dead as Methusalem's grandmarm. I remem­ ber how it happened antl--" "It wasnt true. That much I know. I know, I tell you." tie went on to explain why he knew. Capen's astonishment grew. "Judas priest!" he exclaimed again. "That would explain why I thought I'd seen-- There! heave ahead. I've got to see. But it's a mistake. I don't believe it." The pair entered the sick room. The sailor lay in a stupor. His breath­ ing was rapid, but faint. Capen bent over him and gently moved'the band­ age on his face. For a full mlnhte he gazed steadily. Then, he stood erects drew a big red hand across his fore­ head, and moved slowly back to the living room. "Yup," he said, "it's him. Mr. El­ lery, what are you goln' to do about it?" "I don't know. I don't know. I must go somewhere by myself and think. I don't know what to do." The minister declined to wait for breakfast. He said he was not hungry. Leaving Ebenezer to put on the coffee­ pot and take up< his duties as day nurse, Ellery walked off along the beach. By and by he heard Capen call­ ing his name. "Mr. Ellery;" shouted Ebenessr. "Mr. Ellery, where be you?" "Here!" replied the minister. The old man came scrambling over the sand. He waB ppnting and much excited. "Mr. Ellery!" he cried, "Mr. Ellery! it's settled for us--one part of it, any- iiGw. He s slipped h'p cubic. Vup. He m^st have died Jnst a little while after you left and after I gave him hi* medicine. I thought he looked kind of queer then. And when the doctor came we went in together and he was dead. Yes, sir,.dead." "Dead!'* ^ "ITm-hm. No doubt of it;' it's for good this time. Mr. Ellery, What shrill we do?' Shall I tell Dr. Parker?" Ellery considered for : a moment "No," he said slowly. * "No, Capen, don't tell anyone. I can't see why they need ever know that he hasnt been dead for years, as they supposed- Promise me to keep it a secret. Ill tell--her--myself, later on. Now jtrook- lse me; I trust yod."' "Land safees, yes! Ill'promise, if you want me to."

Capen remained aM£e shantyanother week. Then, as the minister showed no symptoms of having contracted the disease and insisted that he nee,ded no companion, Ebep-zer deputed to take up his fishing once more. Ellery himself was most urgent in the decision that he should not go back toJ the patronage and his church Just yet. Better to wait until he was sure, he said, and Dr. Parker agreed. Dr.-Parker told him of Grace Van Horne'p return to the village. She had come hack, so the doctor said, the day even she had ghrw 09 st tain Nat now. "And say," went on Parker, "what I want to know is whether you think I could leave you for a couple of (lays? The Ostable County Medical Society meets at Hyannis tomorrow and I had promised myself to take U in this year. But I don't want to leave yon, if you need me." Ellery insisted that he did not need anyone, was getting along finely, and would not hear to his friend's miss* ing the medical society's meeting. So the physician went. John Ellery did, not feel cheerful that afternoon. Th¥ tired feeling he had spoken of so light­ ly was worse than he had described it, and he was despondent, for no particu­ lar reason. That night he slept miser­ ably apd awokp with a chill.to find a cold, pouring ratii treating against the windows of the shant^.

What was; this thing across-hiit path? The Old Man Came Scrambling Ovar the 8and. A rope, apparently, but why should there be ropes in that house? There had never been any before. He climbed over it and it was a climb of hundreds of feet and the height made him giddy. That was a house, another house, not the one he had been living in. And there were lights all about. Perhaps one of them was the light at the parsonage. And a big bell was booming. That was his' church bell and he wotild be late for the meeting. "• Some one was speaking to him. He knew the voice. He had known it al­ ways and would know it forever. It was the voice he wanted to hear. "Grace!" he called. "Grace! I want you. Don't go! Don't go! Grace! oh, my dear! don't go" Then the voice had gone. No, it had not gone. It was still there and he heard it speaking to him, begging him to listen, pleading with him to go somewhere, go back, back to some­ thing or other. And ther# was an arm about his waist and some .one was leading him, helping him. He broke down and cried childishly and some one cried with him. (TO BE CONTimJED.) The Raw Recruit. F. M.

This will allow the farmer to make the gasoline engine do a good part of his drudgery, such as pumping, grinding and crush­ ing; and to devote a greater amount of his energy to planning and superin­ tending his work. , in planning such a power plant^ for a farm of 160 acres the farmer must consider carefully such things as kind and amount of farm operations car­ ried oh, nearness to market and re­ pair Bhop, quantity and quality of la­ bor carried on, conveniences Installed, location of buildings and wells, fuel supply, probable amount of custom work for neighbors, etc. It will be assumed in this case that the owner lives on the farm, is engaged in gen­ eral grain and live Btock farming, and thit he thinks enough of his wife" and children to allow them reasonable comfort and convenience, which can be easily and cheaply secured. For such a farm the power plant Bhould consist of a centrally located building, arranged to take care of the general repair work, pumping for house and stock use, dairy work, feed grinding, seed cleaning, corn shelling, grain elevating, etc. It is built around the' gasoline engine as a center. The location of the plant must first be decided upon. Several factors en­ ter into this problem, such as the situ­ ation of the house, barn and cribs, lo­ cation and depth of wells, eto. ' Other things being equal, the site chosen should be slightly to one side of the walk leading from the housd to the barn, so as not to interfere with an artistic treatment of the general farm­ stead.

Chief lit Agroripmy and Chemistry, Agricultural Experiment Station* ; University of Illinois. ^ Shall the corq-belt farmer pay ten times as much as he ought to pay for plant food to enrich his soil? Shall he buy nitrogen at frqm 15 to 50 cents a pound .when the air above every acre contains seventy million pounds of free nitrogen? Shall he buy po­ tassium at from 5 to 20 cents a pound and apply four pounds per acre when his plowed soil already contains 30,000 pounds of potassium per* acre, with still larger quantities in the subsoil? Because his soil needs phosphorus, shall he employ the fertilizer factory to make it soluble and then buy It at from 12 to SO cents a pound in an acid phosphate or "complete" fertilizer when he can get It for S cents a pound In the fine-ground natural rock phos­ phate, and when, by growing and plow­ ing under plenty of clover (eithejr di­ rectly or in manure), he can get ni­ trogen with profit from Ahe air, liber­ ate patassium from the inexhaustible supply in the soil, and make soluble the phosphorus In the natural rock phosphate which he can apply in abun­ dance at low cost? It is impossible to discuss this Question intelligently without first giving an explanation as to what is meant by the "complete" commercial fertilizer. A "complete" commercial fertilizer In the United States has a composition known as 2-8-2, which means that it contains in 100 pounds the equivalent of 2 pounds of ammo- ,31a, 8 pounds of available "phosphoric Acid" and 2 pounds of potash; or, in terms of actual plant-food elements, one ton of such fertilizer would con­ tain about 33 pounds of nitrogen. 80 pounds of phosphorus and 33 pounds of potassium; and, as a general aver­ age, such a fertilizer is sold at retail at from $20 to $30 per ton. A fifty- bushel crop of corn takes from the Boll 75 pounds of nitrogen, 12 of phos­ phorus and 36 of potassium; and, In proportion to the total yield, other grain crops have approximately the ORCHARD QUERIES AND THE REPLIES By CHARLE8 8. CRANDALL, j|>rofessQr of Pomology, University of Illinois. "An agent told me that budded trees grow better than grafted trees, and that horse manure should be kept away from my trees. Is this true? What are the varieties of. apples that you advise for Cook county? Is wine- sap a good kind for us?" There is no difference as to the value between budded and grafted trees that were both well grown. I have seen lots of budded trees that were of very poor quality, and have also seen grafted trees that were equally poor. The value of trees de­ pends not on . the site of the scion, that is as to whether It Is a single bud or a' portion of the branch carrying eight or ten buds, but upon the char­ acter of the soil in which the trees are grown, and the treatment given them during the growtog season.

" It will be fortunate if this location corresponds to that of the well, It not, and the well is shallow, the pump can still be placed at the chosen site and a pipe be extended below frost to the welL If, however, the wa- i ter surface falls below twenty-fire or twenty-six feet such an arrangement is not practicable and the pump cyl­ inder must be placed down in the well. This necessitates bringing the pump­ ing power to the well, which may be done either by quadrants and wires, overhead rope transmission, or com­ pressed -air. The unslghtllness and trouble of the first two methods, how­ ever, often make It preferable to plAce the power plant near the deep well at the sacrifice of other . conveniences. This is especially true when a very large amount of water is to be pumped for stock use. In this case, the source of the water supply is a shallow well at some dis­ tance from the power plant. Hence the pneumatic or compressed air sys­ tem is used, the air compressor and the air tank being put in the power plant, while the pump is worked auto­ matically by compressed air and is placed below water In the well. By this method water can be forced to the house or to any barn and Is al­ ways ready when a tap is opened. The power plant is so arranged that ft borders on the barn lot, and thus al­ lows a machine to be run into the re­ pair shop and also of scooping corn from a wagon into the supply bin in the grinding room. For this particu­ lar type of farm perhaps the most im­ portant feature of the plant is the general repair shop. This should com­ prise a good concrete forge equipped with a hand blower, an anvil, an iron working bench, a wood working bench, an pmery wheel, a grindstone, a drill press, a small table saw and a stock rack for iron and lumber. same requirements. Such a crop would require more than a ton per acre of such fertilizer to supply the potassium, or more than two tons to furnish the nitrogen, or from $4 to $6 worth to provide even the phosphorus for one acre of corn yielding 60 bushels. We should also understand that the air contains an absolutely Inez* haustible supply of nitrogen which can be freely utilized by clover, alfal­ fa, cowpeas, soybeans, vetch and other leguminous crops. The normal soils of the north-ven­ tral states contain an inexhaustible supply of potassium, the amount of that element contained In the plowed soil of an acre of corn-belt land being about 25,000 pounds and still more in the subsoil, which gradually be­ comes the top soil wherever the sur­ face drainage permits even slight soil washing. On the other hand, phos­ phorous Is present in normal soils in limited amounts, and, as a rule, it should be purchased and applied in or­ der to positively enrich the soil in that element. The great source of phosphorus is the natural phosphate rock which is found in vast deposits |^id down in beds somewhat the same as limestone. Immense beds of high- grade phosphate rock are found in Tennessee, South Carolina and Flor­ ida; and vastly more extensive depos­ its have been discovered and quite fully investigated by the United geological survey in Wyoming, Utah, Idaho and Montana. The ordinary "complete" fertiliser is made by taking one ton of ground phosphate rock and adding to this about one ton of sulphuric add and two tons of "filler," together with'a small amount of nitrogen and potas­ sium, thus producing four tons of "complete" fertilizer of the average composition noted above and contain­ ing in the four tons no more phos­ phorus than was contained in the one ton of raw rock phosphate UBed. Fine-ground natural rock phosphate can be delivered at the farmer's rail­ road stations In most parts of the corn belt for less than $8 per ton, while to purchase four tons of "complete" mertillzer containing the same amount of phosphorus would cost the Bame farmer more than $80, as an average. do th£y live longer than grafted trees, although agents having budded trees to sell will make these claiips. Agents handling grafted trees will just re­ verse the claims, and neither claim U founded on fact The advice of th« agent to keep manure away from trees is good, that Is to say, manure should never be placed In contact with the roots of trunk of trees, but it does not mean that surface applications sur­ rounding the trees should be withheld. The best fertilized for fruit trees is stable manure, spread broadcast on the surface. Regarding the varieties of apples suited for Cook county, I would men­ tion the Oidenberg and Wealthy as fall varieties, Grime* Golden and Jon­ athan for early winter, and William Twig and Winkler as late winter vari­ eties. I cannot recommend the wine- sap as a variety for the northern part of the state. In certain portions of the south it does extremely well, but in the north it does not give satisfao- tion.

He earned sufficient money tot buy a quarter section of railway land at $11 an acre. The half section netted proportionate profits and he gradually increased his holdings to 1.S20 acres, which was devoted to mixed farming last year. He values his land at $50 an acre. Mr. Olum markets from 1(M) to 12S hogs and a similar number of beef cattle each year. He has 200 hogs, mostly ptire bred Poland China, 25 head draft horses and 35 head of pure bred Hereford cattle. By feeding bar­ ley to hogs he estimates that the grain nets him 80 cents >a bushel, as com­ pared with 40 cents, the average mar­ ket price when delivered to the ware­ house. His average crop of barley la 40 bushels to the acre, while oats av­ erage 80 bushels.

FACE COVERED, WITH PIMPLES Suffered Three Years. Used ResiaoL Now Not A Pimple To Be Seen. Philadelphia, Pa.. Oct 27, 1912.--"I had been troubled for the past three years with pimples which completely covered my face and neck.
