THE YALE EXPOSITOR. THURSDAY, JUNE 29. 191 f. " LIFE MYSTERY. There are songs enough of the home ifrt, Qt parents and children sweet, I staig of the many who stand alone, And whoso lives are Incomplete, Who In some way have missed the choicest Of blessings they most would prize, And look upon happiness only Through other more fortunate eyes; Who bravely carry the burden Of a htavy dally cross, Whose tranquil, smiling faces Give no hint of pain or loss; Yet whose hearts are filled with yearning, Deyond their strength to deny, For the things that are sweetest and dear est Which alone can satisfy. Oh sad are the ones who possessed them. And have watched thorn fado from sight, With the linp-erlng look from loving eyes That had tilled their lives with light; Ilut sadder are those who, softly, In their inmost souls must say: "Not you!" to one another, They meet In their narrow way; Yet who feel that the sun Is shining K'en now on the thoughtful brow Of the man or woman In all tho world licfore whom their hearts would bow; Who in turn are wistfully waiting, With eager outstretched hands, .To welcome the long-delayed ono Who would answer their soul's demands. Oh. for those who miss each other Through all life's long sad years, Unloved, uncared for, and lonely, My eyes o'crflow with tear3. Hut I think the loving Father Will some time make It clear, And Heaven's sweetest Joys bo given To those who missed them here. Minnio May Curtis, In Chicago Inter Ocean. A CASE IN EQUITY. BY FRANCIS LYNDE. Copyright, i8gs, by J. B. Llpplncott Co. XIV. Continued. There was a rasping noise, as of a hastily opened drawer, and the old man spaig to his feet and leveled a revol ver at Thorndyke. His eyes blazed, and his voice qnavercd with excitement. "15y the 'Mighty! if ye don't get out, o' here " Philip stood his ground long enough to show his contempt for tho argu ment of force; then he turned his back on the angry man and ran up the street to catch un, electric car for the new courthouse. As soon as ho could find a magistrate, he swore out a warrant for l'ragniore's arrest and went him self with the deputy who was to serve it. As a matter of course, they found the office locked and empty; and, leav ing the ofiiecr to continue the search for the notary, Philip went back to the Johannisberg1 to prepare the papers In the suit against the town company. The constable had promised to report in the course of the afternoon, and when evening came without any word from him-, Philip resolved to go to the jail and see if Pragmoro had been caught. With the heedlessness which .goes hand in hand with triumphant perseverance, he left the forged deed, together with the unfinished papers, on the writing-table in his room at the hotel; and, picking his way through the obstructed, streets, he was soon in the neighborhood of the courthouse. Under the branches of a water-oak, at a point where the light from the elec tric lamps at the crossings made a garish twilight, he stumbled over the body of a man l,ying across the side walk. Before he could recover him self he was promptly garroted, thrown down and held by two footpads while a third rifled his pockets. The assault v.as well planned and deftly executed, and when his assailants had left him Thorndyke was astonished to find that they had taken none of his valuables. Then it came to him like a sudden stroke of illness that their object had been to secure the forged deed, and he grew cold with dismay when he re membered where he had left it. The r.cxt moment he was racing madly toward the hotel, stumbling and fall ing over heaps of building material and paving-stones,, and colliding blindly with chance pedestrians who happened to get in his way. lie breathed freely again when he reached his room and found that the papers were undisturbed, but the dis quieting experience taught him the lesson of prudence which he might otherwise have gone wanting. Ilutton ivg the papers into an inside pocket of his coat, ho went out again, taking care to keep in the well-lighted and fre quented streets until he reached a hard ware store where he could buy a re volver. With the weapon in his pocket he felt safer; and, leaving Broadway, he once more turned his steps toward the jail. Pragnre had not been found; and, after assuring himself that n description of the missing notary had teen telegraphed to the neighboring towns on the railway, Thorndyke went back to the hotel. Approaching the building by n walk through the grounds which led him beneath the windows of his own room in one of the southern gables, he was surprised to sec them brilliantly lighted; and. bolting up the stairway at the end of the corridor, he was. barely in time to save the Johannisberg from destruc tion. In his absence the room had been thoroughly and ruthlessly ran sacked, and one of the gas jets wheth er by accident or design he never knew had been swung around against the mosquito netting, which was blazing and dropping a shower of small fire brands upon the white counterpane be neath it. When ho had put out the fire and gathered up his scattered belongings. Philip began to have a justcr apprecia tion of the desperate character of the men with whom he had to deal, and lit- determined to take no more risks. After having his room changed, he telephoned to the sfable for his horse nnd rode out to the Duncan farm, sleep ing that night in the attic bedroom with the forged deed under his pillow. XV. ' ON THE FOUNTAIN'. Tho levftl rays of the morning1 sun were shooling- aeross the eastern spur of John's mountain, pour ing a noiseless volley of radi ance against the opposite cliffs of the Dull, and bridging the valley of the Little Chiwassee with bands of yel low light that made the shadows blue and cool by comparison. Up among the topmost twigs of the tree the breeze whispered steadily, with the souud like the patter of gentle rain; but in the depths of the forest, where the jath from Duncan's to tho plateau wound upward through the tangled under growth, the air was still and resonant, giving back sharply the snarl of the gravel and the rustle of dry leaves under the feet of the two men who climbed slowly toward the mountain top. Notwithstanding the approach of autumn and the youth of the day, the heat was great enough to make the sleep ascent laborious and exhausting; and Thorndyke stopped at the base of the upper tier of cliffs while Duncan went down on his hands and knees to drink from a spring bubbling clear and cold from the shelf of sandstone. "I'm no disputin' yer courage, y understand that," he said, after he had slaked his thirst. "Ye'ie a bonny light er, Master Thorndj kc I maun say that for ye but ye'll no win wi' such a man as Sharpless at that gait." "2o, I'm pretty yve.ll satisfied of that, now; though I still think there will be more fighting than parleying in the case, from the way they have begun on me." Philip had been giving his compan ion a 'succinct account of the events of the previous day as they climbed tho mountain, and Duncan had con sented to take charge of the deed untii it should be needed. "Ilae ye made up yer mind what ye'll do next?" "Not definitely. As I told you.nwhile ago, it depends very much upon what Kilgrow says. Yesterday I intended to prosecute immediately in both the civil and criminal courts, but I'm not so sure now that that would be the proper thing to do." "Aye?" said Duncan, seating him self with his back against the cliff and making au inverted N of his sinewy length. "Xo; to be frank about it, I think I lost my head when that deed turned up. It was a foolish thing to go to Pragmoro the way I did. I might have known what would happen in case 1 wasn't able to scare him." "An' can ye no sue them yet?" "Oh, yes; but. they know as much as I do, now, and they will be prepared at all points. We can beat them in the end, but they can delay a settlement indefinitely. And I'm more afraid of delay than of anything else." "Aye?" "Yes. They have all the resources of the syndicate behind them, w hile I have nothing. They can give any amount of bail on the criminal charge, and when we pet our verdict in chancery there may be nothing to recover from." "Put, man, there's the whole town built on Johnnie Kcelgrow's land !" "Yes, it's there to-day, and it may be there to-morrow; but it lias grown up like Jonah's gourd, and it may be quite as short-lived." Duncan nursed his chin reflectively. "That's just what Bobbie Protheroe's aye hintin' at. lie's a sharp lad, is Bob bie." "Of cours-3 I don't know anything about it," continued Thorndyke, fol lowing his own line of thought; "but other towns have flourished and failed, and Allacoochee may or may not prove to be an exception. Anywaj, I'd like to get the thing settled while the press ure is high. It will be easier to get $."0,000 now than $10,000 after the tide begins to turn." Duncan's jaw fell, and he stared at Thilip in speechless astonishment. "Feefty thousand dollars! "he exclaimed, when he could find breath to put hU amazement into words. "Eh, man, man, but ye'll be killin' the goose outright!" "No fear of that," laughed Philip, rising and taking the path again. "And if they don't call off their desperadoes it'll cost thsm more." He spoke confidently, but he was troubled with many doubts and misgiv ings which poured in thickly upon the heels of yesterday's overeonfidence. One Insurmountable obstacle the second thought had brought up to block the way to a legal contest: the court would require a heavy bond from the com plainant, and who was to furnish it? Kilgrow had nothing, and the loss of his own fortune put it out of Thorn dyke's power to offer security. Clearly, the thing must be managed In some way without a suit, and Philip's perplexity kept him silent while they were push ing through the woods on the plateau toward the Pocket. When they came out upon the crag from which Thorndyke had first looked down into the narrow valley, they saw Kilgrow working in the field below, and Duncan summoned him by a shrill whistle. Thirty minutes later, the old mountaineer joined themon the cliff.and Duncan laid before him a plan which Philip had outlined. It was a proposal that they should try tobring about a set tlement of the claim by moral suasion before proceeding to extremities; and Kilgrow 's presence at the confer ence would be necessary, since he would have to execute a quit-claim in case Rharplc.8 and Fench came to terms: As Duncan had foretold, the old man r fused, positively and definitely: lie could not be persuaded to trust himself in Allacoochee, and all the assurances of protection that Philip could give him went for nothing. "Then there is only one other thing to do," said Thilip. when he had ex hausted his eloquence In the effort to convince Kilgrow that no harm should come to him; "you'll have to give me the power of attorney to sign a deed ff jou. Where Is the nearest notary out ride of Allacoochee, Mr. Duncan?" Duncan caressed his stubbly chin ard considered. "There's auld Judge Garry, down at Olenco," he suggested. "How far is the! from here T "It's malr than a good saxtecn miles round by the valley pike, but I'm think in it's no that far across the mountain. How is that, Johnnie, man?" "I reckon hit ain't inore'n ten mile th'oo the gulch." Thorndyke looked at his watch. "Are you good for the tramp, Mr. Duncan? I'll nerd a witness." Duncan signified his willingness to go, but it was with great difficulty that they persuaded the old mountaineer to trust himself within eight of the rail way. When he finally yielded, they took up the line of march to the south ward, with Kilgrow leading the way. After threading the forest of the plateau for three hours or more, they began to descend into a deep ravine, and Philip heard the murmur of run ning water long before they came in sight of the swift stream gurgling through a leafy tunnel at the bottom of the gorge. They stopped at the margin of the brook while Thorndyke got a drink. "Your mountain miles ore good measure, Mr. Kilgrow," he said, tak ing out liis watch again. "How much farther 13 it?" The old man lifted his hat and scratched his head reflectively with om? finger. "I reckon hit monght be 'bout two sights an' n horn-blow Tom yere." Philip laughed and turned to Dun can: "I'm afraid you'll have to trans late that for me." "Ye'll be none the wiser when I do. Twa sights that's as far as ye can see, an' then ns far as ye can see beyon that; an a horn-blow that's as far as ye can hear the scravin o' a coo's horn frae the far end o' tho second sight. D' ye ken the noo?" "Perfectly," said Philip. "I hope we'll get there before dark." They did, but it was afternoon when they came to the end of the third di vision of distance and saw the scattered houses of the little village on the rail way. Judge Garry's house was pointed out by a passing teamster, and Philip, going in for information, found that the judge was in Allacoochee, but was expected home nt five o'clock. They waited, Duncan with Scotch resigna tion, the mountaineer with an indiffer ence born of long practice in the art of doing nothing, and Philip with true Anglo-Saxon impatience. When the judge made his appearance, the busi ness was quickly dispatched, and Dun can and Kilgrow started on their re turn over the mountain, leaving Thorn dyke to go to Allacoochee by 'the even ing train. The train was due at eight, and while he was wearing out the second period of inaction on the porch of the tavern where he had eaten supper, Philip was able, for the first time since the finding of the deed, to go back to the events which had immediately preceded that piece of good fortune, lie had Helen's letter in his pocket, and he read it again in the thickening twilight. It was a good letter, after all, he admitted; sen sible and practical, and showing forth in every line the nobility and true heartctlness of the writer. None the less, she should have known she would have known, had she really loved him that her proposal could be accepted only on the condition he had imposed that a single sentence of warm affection from her at such a time would have out weighed all the acts of sclf-abnegatiou that could be crowded into a lifetime. And yet he could not help wishing that he had not been so prompt to return cold formality for kind-hearted com mon sense. She would doubtless be glad enough to be free oh, that, of course; but he might have been as frank and informal with her as she had a right to expect him to be as their long friendship and engagement demanded. And just here a brush from the nettle of shame stung him. How could lie ever hope that she would at tribute an' but the basest motive to his letter when she learned the truth about Elsie? Would she not always accuse him in her heart of having been glad of the pretext afforded by his loss for breaking openly an engagement which had been long ignored in secret? He was sure she would, and he cheeked himself impatiently when he found that he was setting the contempt of the woman he had asked to release him above the love of the woman who had saved his life. That thought brought back to " him Elsie and the present. Had she really r.aved his life? Was it quite beyond doubt that she was the one woman in the world who could lead him out of himself into a sphere of usefulness and accomplishment? It was by no means ns clear and well-defined as It had ap peared to be on that day when he had sat up among tho pillows and fancied himself inspired. Nevertheless, ns he had accepted the help, he must abide by the choice of that day and he would, come what might. No matter which way it turned, the train of reflection led quickly to dis comforting conclusions, and Thorn dyke was glad when the sound of a dis tant whistle assured him that he could presently pass from the depressing at mosphere of introspection into tempo rary oblivion of action. It was but a step across to the railway, and he was tired enough to postpone taking it un til it became a necessity. The whistle sounded again, and he sat lazily watch ing tho eye of yellow light staring southward from the signal lamp over the station, while the rumble of the ap proaching train floated up the valley on the evening breeze. Hod he known that Clenco was a flag station for the night train, and that he was the only passengcr.he would have best irred him self when the lamp flashed red and then back to yellow again In answer to the engineer's call for signals. After that It was too late; thre was a rush and a roar, a discordant clanging of the en gine bell mingled with the hissing of steam, and before he could cross the street the train had thundered past without stopping. Circumstances, and the power to t pick and choose among the possibili ties, have much to do with one's peace of mind. Half an hour earlier Philip had debated wjth himself the neces sity for hurrying back to Allaeooche. that night. The small hotel was clean ; the supper had been of the kind which prophesies a wholesom breakfast, and he was weary enough, to call it a day'a work and go to bed. None the less, when he realized that his last chance for reaching Allacoochee had faded into u distant roar and two red eyes staring buck a't him down the long stretch of straight track north of Gleneo, ho was Im mediately possessed with nn im portunate devil of Impatience. As a matter of fact, since there was an early train In the morning. It could make lit tle difference whether he slept at Glen eo or nt his room at the Johannisberg; but it was a part of his plan that he should reach Allacoochee at once, and go he must, if he had to walk. So much he said to the hotelkeeper, who was at a loss to understand the impa tience of his guest. A man might walk, he said; It was only ten miles. And then, again, a man might ride. If so be he were willing to pay for a horse. Philip caught nt the alternative and of fered to pay liberally. The horse was found, and after many minute direc tions about the road, which were quali fied, repeated and amended untii they were hopelesssly obscure, Thorn'Jyke rode away in the darkness. iTO BE CONTINUED. ENGLISH MERCHANT SERVICE. Nelson and tho I'amon Cook Fine Sou men uiul Heroes. Horatio Nelson was sent on a voyagu in a small ship to the West Indies. Stic was probably a scow. She was com manded by Mr. John Bathbone, who had served as master's mate under ('apt. Suckling. Nelson was absent on thi3 oyagc about a year. I confess, as oun who has served under the red flag, that I love to think, and am honored by thinking, of Nelson as a merchantman. The famous 6'ool was also a merchant man. Indeed, some of the finest seamen and greatest heroes of naval story have come out of our mercantile marine. But it is scarcely necessary to say this, seeing that the merchant service ery greatly antedated the establish ment of the royal navy. Even in Eliza beth's time one cannot think of Haw kins, Frobishcr, Drake and the many other stars of that splendid ga.la.x5 $ sca-chieftains as queen's men in the sense that a royal naval ofllcer is now a queen's man. They were buccaneers; the merchants found them ships; the Cinque ports and the 'Jong-shoro yielded them crews w ho w ere composed of merchant sailors. The navy grew out of the mercantile marine, and glorious as Is the w hite Hag, not les.s honorable is the red, whether for its memories of heroic combat or for its faithful dis charge of the duties of that peace whose victories are not less renowned than war's. English Illustrated Magazine. Grim S-hrewtlnoHB. Sir Wcmyss Beid tells a story redolent of a grim shrewdness characteristic of canny Novocastrians: "There was a worthy, long since forgotten, in my time, who was a prototype of Bogue BideThood, in 'Our Mutual Friend.' 1I was know n as Cuckoo Jack, and he lived upon the Tyne in a well-patched old boat, picking up any trifle that came his way, from a derelict to a corpse. One day an elderly and most estimable Quaker of Newcastle, in stepping from a river steamboat to the quay, slipped ami fell into the stream. Cuckoo Jack was at hand with his boat and quickly rescued the luckless Friend and landed him, dripping, on the quay. The good man drew half a crown from his pocket ind solemnly handed it to his pre server. Jack eyed the coin for a mo ment with laek-lMster gaze, spat upon it solemnly 'for luck,' and, having placed it safely in his pocket, said, in a matter-of-fact tone, to the soaked Quaker: 'Man, ah'd hev gotten five shillin' for takin'.. yc to the dead boose.'

Climatic conditions In Michigan are too extreme to permit of the use of hog cots for all- classes of pigs, for all purposes during the entire year, but for the summer season the sys tem of cotting and yarding cannot be excelled. Cots are espeically desira ble for dry brood sows and young males and females being reared for breeding purposes. They are desira ble because an abundance of fresh air, sunshine and exercise are pro vided. Tho illustration represents a form of cot recently designed and construct ed and now in use In the hog lots at the Michigan agricultural college. It Is 6x8 at the foundation, with the sides raised perpendicularly three feet before receiving the half pitch Wire Worms Dy R. II. PETTIT, Entomologist Michigan Agricultural College Low ground and more especially mucky ground, Is apt to be infested with wire-worms. These are slender, yellow, little creatures, cylindrical in form, and in size varying from half an inch to more than an inch in length. All have hard, polished skins amounting almost to shells, and six Bhort legs behind the flattened heads, besides a sucker like false-foot on the last segment. Wire-worms usually feed on the roots of grains, corn and other grasses, though they will bur row Into potatoes, sugar-beets and oth er root crops, and even apples lying on the ground. The adults are the common snap-plng-beetles or click-beetles, the little fellows that Jump up Into the air with a click, when placed on their backs. These beetles lay the eggs from which the wire-worms hatch, and the wire worms in turn become click-beetles after passing through the cry-sails stage in their little earthen cells In the soil. It is probable that two years are required for the larvae to attain maturity. Wire-worms are primarily insects of grass-land and tho fact that they re quire two or three years to develop helps to explain why It is that they Wire Worm and Its Adult Form, the Click Beetle. ire often worse the second year after grass than they are the first, most of them being full grown at that time. In corn the most notlcable Injury Is to the seed after planting, though the larvae also feed on the roots after the corn is up. Experiments have failed to show any practicable method of treating the seed so as to prevent In Jury by wire-worms. It has been ihown, however, that late fall-plowing kills many of the pupae by breaking open the earthen cells In which they have prepared to spend the winter. The use of commercial fertilizers has failed to check this pest except when used In excessive quantities. It Is good to use wood-ashes because of their tonic effect on the plants, but, of course, this Is recommended only for aggravated cases and not for regu lar use in the absence of the pest in dangerous numbers. The most satisfactory way to deal Dy R. S. SHAW Dean of Agriculture roof boards. The center boards on the sides are hinged so that they can be swung open In hot weather; the opening thus made is covered with a strong woven wire, clamped above and below between inch boards. The inner clamp boards project an Inch beyond the outer ones, thus breaking the joint and preventing drafts when the openings are closed. The two ridge boards are also hinged so that they can be opened in hot weather. The openings permit a free circulation of air, thus lowering the temperature and greatly relieving the oppression of the pigs seeking shelter. These openings close down tightly, thus mak ing the cot warm In the coldest weather. Probably the greatest ob jection to this cot is the expense of material and construction. with this pest Is to keep the soil free from them by a short rotation of crops. If the grain fields are seeded to clover, and after the first or second year the clover sod Is planted to some planted crop, there is less chance for June grass or other grasses on which wire worms live, to get Into the fields. If an old meadow or pasture Is to be put into crop, two years must elapse after it is broken before it is safe to plant any crop liable to be eaten by wlre wors. To do this plow the grass In early fall, and sow clover, either with oats, wheat or rye. Allow the clover to stand two years and follow with corn or beans as desired. RAG WE ED By R. J. BALDWIN. Michigan Agricultural College The vitality of its seeds and its ability to find a footing for growth on road and lane sides, fence rows and all other out of the way places makes ragweed one o our worst farm weeds. It Is not eaten much by animals, and If bitten or trampled what Is left of it can produce seed under the hardest circumstances. The plant is recognized by Its finely divided leaves, .which suggest its name. When fully grown the stam mlnate flower forms a very conspicu ous tassel, while the plstllate or seed producing flowers are partly hidden in the axils of leaves and branches. The use of cultivated crop3 which are kept clean Is the surest way of cleaning fields of this pest. Even when labor Is high priced, If it can be had at all. It will pay to go over the corn and bean fields with hoes and remove the weeds missed by the cul tivator. A practice which is very effective In controllng ragweed Is to clip the stubble fields after the grain has been harvested. If ragweeds are present In the grain they are cut six or more Inches higher by the binder, and the part of the plant left branches far ther down and matures quantities of seed. The mower gets these plants below the branches leaving them un able to do further harm. This opera tion will always dispose of many oth er seeds as well as ragweed, and If the land Is seeded to clover, the hay will be much cleaner the following year. The following is quoted from Bul letin 260: "The seeds of ragweed are light brown or black, top shaped, broadly oval, the sides Irregular ridged vertically, with five to ten teeth at the apt x. Sometimes the hard cov ering is removed by a clover huller; exposing the naked seed. Water for Poultry. Poultry should be given free access to water, especially during hot sum mer weather. Several patented dishes are on the market which furnish a constant supply of water, free from manure and other filth. Hens which are not provided with a supply of wa ter in their own quarters always make a nuisance of themselves around the stock tanks and well tops. The dairyman who Is looking for re sults will not allow the dog or the small boy to worry his cows. He knows that if he wants a well filled pall, they must not be frightened, but kept quiet and content. Don't Go Around With An Ache or Pain When You Can Buy San Jak.
