"And you feel well? perfectly well?" "Never better," was her answer. d We talked a little longer before she went. "Good night, Maud," I said. "Good night, Humphrey," she said. This use of our given names had come quite as a matter of course, and was as unpremeditated as it was nat ural. In that moment I could have put my arms around her and drawn her to me. I should certainly have done so out in that world to which we belonged. As it was, the situation stopped there in the only way it could; but I was left alone in my little hut, glowing warmly through and through with a pleasant satisfaction; and I knew that a tie, or a tacit something, existed between us which had not ex isted before. CHAPTER XXVI. I awoke, oppressed by a mysterious sensation. There seemed something missing in my environment. But the mystery and oppressiveness vanished after the first few seconds of waking, when I identified the missing some 1 It Was the Ghost. thing u the wind. When I had dressed and opened the door.

I had slept late, and I stepped outside with sudden energy, bent upon making up lost time as befitted a dweller on Endeavor island. And when outside, I stopped short.

I returned t to my hut for the shotgun. made sure i' it was loaded, and went down to the s Ghost. With some difficulty, and at the expense of I wetting to the waist, I climbed aboard. The forecastle scut tle was open. I paused to listen for a the breathing of the men, but there was no breathing. I cautiously de scended the ladder. The place had t the empty and musty feel and smell usual to a dwelling no longer inhab ited. Everywhere was a thick litter of the worthless forecastle dunnage of a long voyage. I noted that ths boats were missing. The steeravr t told the same tale as the forecastle. The hunters had packed their belong ings with similar haste. The Ghost t was deserted. The reaction from my fear, and the I knowledge that the terrible deed I had come to do was no longer neces sary, made me boyish and eager. I' sprang up the break of the poop, and saw-Wolf Larsen. What of my im- a petus and the stunning surprise, I clattered three or four steps along the deck before I could stop myself. He t was standing in the companionway, only his head and shoulders visible. staring straight at me. His arms were resting on the half-open slide. He made no movement whatever-simply stood there, staring at me. I began to t.remble. The old stom ach sickness clutched me. I put one I hand on the edge of the house to steady myself. My lips seemed sud denly dry and I moistened them against the need of speech. Nor did I for an instant take my eyes off him. Neither of us spoke. There was some thing ominous in his silence, his im mobility. All my old fear of him re turned and by new fear was increased I a hundred fold. And still we stood, the pair of us, staring at each other. I was aware of the demand for ac tion, and, my old helplessness strong upon me, I was waiting for him to take the initiative. Then, as the mo ments went by, it was at last im 1 pressed upon me that I was there, not to have Wolf Larsen take the initia tive, but to take it myself. I cocked both barrels and leveled the shotgun at him. Had he moved, attempted to drop down the compan ionway, I know I would have shot him. But he stood motionless and staring as before. And as I faced him, with leveled gun shaking in my hands, I had time to note the worn and haggard appearance of his face. It was as if some strong anxiety had wasted it. The cheeks were sunken, and there was a wearied, puckered expression on the brow. And it seemed to me that his eyes were strange, not only the expression, but the physical seeming, as though the optic nerves and supporting muscles had suffered strain and slightly twist ed the eyeballs. All this I saw, and my brain now working rapidly, I thought a thousand thoughts; and yet I could not pull the triggers. I lowered the sun and stepped to the corner of the cabin, primarily to relieve the tension on my nerves and to make a new start, and incidentally to be closer. Again I raised the gun. He was almost at arm's length. There was no hope for him. I was resolved. There was no possible chance of missing him, no matter how poor my marksmanship. d And yet I wrestled with myself and d could not pull the triggers. 4 "Well'" he demanded Impatiently. e I strove vainly to force my fingers d down on the triggers, and vainly 1 t strove to say something. a "Why don't you shoot!" he asked.

"But how did you lose the masts?" c I asked. "Walk over and examine those lan yards," he said, pointing to where the t mizzen rigging should have been. "They have been cut with a knife!" I exclaimed. "Not quite," he laughed. "It was a neater job. Look again." t I looked. The lanyards had been al most severed, with Just enough left to hold the shrouds till some severe strain should be put upon them. "Cooky did that," he laughed again.

Only I said it on the other side of my mouth." "But what were you doing while all this was going on?" I asked. "My best, you may oe sure, which wasn't much under the circum. stances." I turned to re-examine Thomas Mugrldge's work. "I guess I'll sit down and take the sunshine," I heard Wolf Larsen say ing. There was a hint, just a slight hint, of physical feebleness in his volce, and it was so strange that I looked quickly at him. His hand was sweep ing nervously across his face as though he were brushing away cob. webs. I was puasled. The whole thing was so unlike the Wolf Larsen I had' known. "How are your headaches?" I asked. "They still trouble me," was his an swer. "I think I have one coming on now." He slipped down from his sitting posture till he lay on the deck. Then B he rolled over on his side, his heed I resting on the biceps of the under arm, the forearm shielding his eyes from the sun. I stood regarding him B wonderingly. "Now's your chance, Hump," he said. S"I don't understand," I lied, for I a thoroughly understood.

(From the United States Department of P Agriculture.) 01 In the ever-growing area from which the cattle tick has been eliminated tl demonstration agents are now showing a the people how they can realize the t full benefits of their success in the campaign of eradication. Purebred stock is being brought in to improve ce the quality of the native cattle, farm ers who have never paid any attention to live stock are being instructed in t the fundamental principles of econom ical and efficient feeding, and cream ti routes and creameries are being estab- 81 lished in sections where they were un heard of in the days of the ticks. An interesting instance of what a b creamery can do for a community is c afforded by the history of the one es- c tablished in co-operation with Clemson ii college in South Carolina. In Septem ber, 1914, the creamery had five pa trons whose cows furnished 508 pounds a of butterfat that month. In October a cream route was established and the number of patrons increaseo to 17. More routes were started from time to time, each new one bringing in more patrons, until in August, 1915., alter a year's work, 227 farmers were send ing in the cream from 833 cows. The I total amount of butterfat delivered to the creamery that month was 14,815 a pounds. For it tha farmers received f $3,851.88, an average of approximately b $17 each. The significant feature of this cream ery's success, however, is not the amount of money that it brought in, but the fact that it opened up an ab- d solutely new source of income to the community. Before its establishment dairying was unthought of. If there was a surplus of milk on a farm it was usually disposed of as butter at the nearest store in return for a little sugar or tea. The ordinary run of farm butter, however, was so little t thought of that even when taken in trade it brought only about halt of what the creamery could afford to pay I for the butterfat. In consequence no f one regarded milk as a reliable source t of income. That it could be actually , made to bring in cash each month was a revelation. So new to the people was the idea, indeed, that the checks from the creamery were frequently stored away instead of being cashed, and the managers had to go over the routes and explain the necessity for turning them in. When the creamery opened, the proper equipment for dairying was practically unknown. The people had to be instructed in the use of the sep arator and in practically every detail connected with the handling of cream. Furthermore, the available cows were all native scrubs which received little attention and gave in return little milk. All this has been changed very materially already and is being changed still more. Of the 44 datry houses built in South Carolina during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1915, 40 were built by patrons of the cream ery. On one of the cream routes the farmers united in the cooperative pur chase of a good bull and on five others live stock associations have been formed for general improvement. The number of cows is also being in creased, one man distributing a car load among his neighbors. Another farmer is described in a letter as "trad ing bales of cotton for cows." The importation of good bulls, both for beef and dairy herds, is of speo cal significance, since this was prac tically out of the question in the tick days. because of the danger of death from Texas fever. In conse quence. the grading up of the herds was impossible, and there was too little money in the feeding of ticky scrubs to make it an attractive under. taking. This was also true of dairy ing with the same kind of stock, for the milk production, poor at best, was reduced by the ticks in cases of heavy infestation by asu uch uas 40 per cent. On the other hand, the possibilities of profit in grading up herds are very great. The history of a large planta tion in Tennessee is an instance of this. The place was an old cotton planta tion which was so run down that much of it had been abandoned altogether and was overrun with sedge grassu and briers when the owner determined to Smake it into a stock farm. At that Stime Tennessee was not yet tree from ticks, so that he had to do his own dipping. In the course of a year he succeeded in getting rid of the scourge, and purebred Shorthorn balls were I then brought in. These were used with the native cows, which ranged in value from $12 to $20 a head and weighed from 500 to 700 pounds. The calves which resulted weighed an av erage of 800 pounds when they reached the Chicago market, and sold for eight cents a pouand, or $64 a head. They were then from 15 to 18 months old. This farm is now shipping much of its Sbreeding stock into the ti&-tre coun ties of Mississidppi and Alabama. It is, of course, not every stockman who can aford the exclusive use of a Keep Separator Clean. It's a short-sighted man who auses Sa dirty cream separator.

The small farmer with one or two cows gains, however, just as much in proportion by breeding al them to a purebred instead of a scrub. and the gain is even more important is to him. For this reason the depart- 1 ment is now encouraging the forma tion of live stock associations and bull clubs in which a number of farmers: unite in the purchase of a bull The county agents and special demonstra tors are also urging upon farmers in the areas recently treed from the 01 ticks the following plan for getting ai 0 start in the live stock industry: 1. Get Bermuda grass started on all pastures. Improve the pastures further i by sowing some lespedeza and bur in clover on the uplands and some alsike clover or white clover on the bottom lands. 2. Grow more hay and other forage on which to winter the stock; or erect is a silo if you have as many as 10 dairy cattle or 20 beef cattle. 3. Bring in good bulls to use for grading up the native cattle. Do not try to raise purebreds to begin with. 4. If not able to buy a bull for indi vidual use, form a bull club. 6. Form a community club or county live stock association so that members may exchange bulls every two years and thus obtain the maximum service from a bull without breeding him to his own offspring. 6. Heifers of the beet breeds should ' not drop calves until they are thirty months old. 7. Breed all beef cows so as to calve during February, March and April. 8. Breed all dairy cows so as to calve in the fal. 9. Wean the beef calves in the fall. Give them plenty of good, bright hay, silage it available, and about one pound of cottonseed meal per day for the first month. After that they can be win tered on the roughage produced on the place and a little concentrate. 10. The breeding stock in the beet herd may be given the run of the stalk fields until the middle of winter and then fed on roughage. As the cows will be carrying calves, they should be kept in a thrifty condition. 1L If possible, dip all of the stock each spring and fall to keep them free of lice and to put their skin In good condition. 12. Never keep a grade bull for a sire it a purebred one can be secured t BARLEY VS. CORN FOR SWINE1a Former Is Highly Valued as Hog Feed In Denmark and Germany-Give d Brood 8ows Tankage.
