At their feet tbe dog stirred rest-

woman deftly disengaged herself, with
a terrified glance up tbe straggling, de-
serted street But still they were
gratefully It desperately alone and un-
watched.
“Then—the shock of being told w#
wore to leave the island ... I wanted
to think. ... I went west along
the beach, without noticing—some dis-
tance beyond tbe western point. Then
suddenly I found the boat drawn up
dose under the blug, invisible from

"Thank Ood!" said Coast.
8be looked up, wondering at his
tone.
“I mean it's one way out.” ho said
soberly; “a mightly slim chance—but

She uttered a low cry of distress;
but he could only shake bis head In
melancholy confirmation of tbe tid-
ings, detailing the feay Block stock had
seised the weapon.
“But now,” he wound up with a sor-
ry show of optimism, “It’s another

Well, we'd better not rlak waiting

boathook or an oar. I think we can
make it—at least, it’s worth trying.
1*11 go now and have a look at that
boat."
She drew a deep breath, with a nod
endorsing this forlorn hope. “Very
well,” she said tersely. "Go, then. I

me. . . . Yes. I can brava it out;
gon’t worry—1 shan’t let him suspect.

The work of disinfection Is based
upon our recognition of tha pi
of disease germs, -ad disinfection
means the set of destroying the
cause of the Infection. In otoer words,
disinfection Is . removal of the cause,
and It wUI be clear to say practical
man that la dealing with disease any
effort which stops short of a com-
plete removal qf the cause Is moat

CHAPTER XVIII.
Evening was advancing In utter
calm when Const regained the bench
before tbe deserted village. The wind
bad died away to mere vagrant
breaths, barely strong enough to
darken that dully polished, unquiet
floor of water, widening in loneliness
from those desolate, fog-bound shores.
Pausing beside the beached catboat
Coast stared hungrily at the little ves-
sel off shore, gently swinging at Its
mooring. How to reach her, how
mike uae of her If needa must? . .
He shook his head in doubt, strong-
ly asaured now thst he would set toot
upon her decks only through exercise
of force.
Hla hopes reverted now to Appld-
yard aa the lost resort. Without the
little men and the Echo—or lone oth-
er boat—he was powerless, a figure
for the mirth of his enemies.
At hia feet the blind dog crouched,
motionless aa stone, seeming to search
the Infinite with the unwinking atare
of its dead, colorless eyes. . . .
Abruptly a sound of pelting feet
transformed the scene. Tbe blind dog
lifted up with a Jump and faced round,
growls, rumbling In lta throat. Coast
turned, atnrtled and apprehensive.
Down the way to the beach Chang
waa running at n curious, outlandlsn
Jog-trot, head low between hla broad,
gaunt shoulders. Apparently he was
beading directly for Const
With n little thrill of fear the Amer-
ican glanced round for some means of
defending himself. He bad no doubt
that tbe Chinaman had been commie-
atoned to dispose of him even an poor
Power had been done away with. In
a sudden flush of anger he laid hold
of the first thing that caught bis ays
which happened to be tbe half rotted
tiller of the catboat, a heavy a
"What!" he cried, astounded. His
gate waa keen upon the plump, dark,
brutlata face that leered at him; be
saw Us small eyes no longer dull and
fixed, but twinkling wltb an evil. Imp-
ish glitter. The dim suspicion that
more than once he bad rejected from
his thoughts as extravagant and idle,
was suddenly resolved Into conviction.
“So,” he said slowly, “you do see. aft-
er all!”
"The discovery,” said Blackstock
wltb a ponderous affectation of mor-
dant wit, "does credit to your perspi-
cuity. I congratulate you on making
It—when I chose to let you.”
For n moment occupied with re-
straining the dog. which seemed half-
mad with desire to fly at Blackstock'a
throat, Coast made no reply. In the
light of this revelation the sltunttqn
was taking on n new and fairly terri-
fying complexion.
“Of the two of us, I must nay you’ve
been the blindest,” Blackstock con-
tinued In n manner of bitting Irony
that seemed to amuse him. “I won-
dered from tbe first bow long you'd
take to find me out. Kate, of course.
I’m accustomed to; I’ve bad her hyp-
notised so long that she never dreams
of questioning the matter, no matter
how barefaced I am- But you—Lord!
I thought you’d show more discrimlne-.
tlou!” He chuckled grimly, resting an
elbow on the side of the careened
boat. “You, the knight-errant!” he
Jeered. "Blind ns n bat! Good Lord!”
Const spoke to tbe dog and succeed-
ed In quieting It temporarily. “You’ve
been faking all along?" ho asked
without visible resentment. “Ever
since you showed up In court with
those smoked glasses?”

better reason, to gain lime U> readjust

Salt In some quantity la
sttv to the living animal. So
contains oil that Is probably
but tbs amount in otnera la small.
In order to guard against nay pos-
sible deficiency it Is well to feed some
salt especially U It increaaee ibe
portability of the ration.
Moderate quantifier o. salt bad
been fsd to poultry with apparent ad-
vantage, but .he limitations of Its
use were not known. A feeding trial
was therefore made with twelve
hens to get some suggestion ne to tbe
apnroxlmate limit of Its safe feeding
to mature fowls For one lot of hen*
salt waa mixed In the food. Increasing
In amount by periods of feeding. Un-
' til it was fed a. the rate or .0fill
ounces per day, per fowl (nearly one-
half plot per day for 100 hens) no
bad affects were noticed.
With this /amount, however, diar-
rhoea attacked a few of the hene, but
the trouble disappeared when the
amount of salt in the food was re-
duced about one-third. When the
hens wars allowed free access to
boxes of course barrel aait, not
enough was eaten to show any 111 ef-
fect, either by bens that had been fed
salt freely for two months or by those
that had been without any for the
same time.
Little significance waa attached to
the egg yield from the old bene fed
st an* unproductive time of year, but
twice as many eggs were obtained
from the salt-fed hens a« from tbe
others so there was no Indication ot
unfavorable effect in this direction.
When reporting the experiment it
was suggested that salt at tbe rate of
one ounce per day for 100 matured
fowls could be fed without risk. In
later feeding it waa found that live
ouncee of salt In every 100 pounds
of food wan n ante proportion. Tbe
station has not advlaed tba feeding
of dfly salt to young chlcka or until
they are two or three months rid.

(By & B. RUSHING.)
Farmers who content tbeMselvee
with two tons or lees cannot under-
stand how yields of three or four tons
sven more are obtained. There are,
however, four chief essentials; a
smooth surface, with even, steady
grade, thorough preparation of the
soil, sad abundance of good, healthy
seed and plenty of fertility and to
which might be added the
amount of moisture.
Where land is stumpy or rocky. It
may be considerable expense to re-
move them, but to obtain the greatest
amount of grass it must be done. The
rock* must either be sunk or hauled
away and the surface smoothed on as
to give a gentle grade A little de-
pression where the water can stand
may cause a patch of grahss to die
out and a few patches will kill a
hundred pounds of hay.
After this thorough grading the
land Is thoroughly fitted. This does
not mean Juat plowed and harrowed
la the ordinary way. I prefer the use
of a cut-away disc, which does the
work Juat th# opposite to th* turning
plow
The continued working of the aoll
with the cut-away clears the soil of
foul stuff and gives tbe new seeding
a chance. The aoll ahould be worked
over with the cut-away aad the
smoothing harrow many times, not
all at once, but continued through
July and August. In thin way. when
ready to need the aoll is certainly as
fine as an ash heap
The need then ahould be put on
carefully and accurately, so ns to have
every square inch of surface covered,
thua having two blades of grasa where
one formerly wan
The question frequently ashed la:
Why Is this large amount of potflsh
necessary? No one who has ever
used fertilisers on grass need be told
that nitrogen gives the grans a rleh,
green color and makes It gn
rapidly.
