Glory is an excellent thing, but yon can-

October 6, 11 am, -Let me try to set
down as calmly and accurately as I can
all that occurred that night. I have never
been a dreamer or a visionary, co I can
rely upon my own senses, though I am
bound to say that if any other fellow
brad told sea the same thing I should have
doubted bin. I might even have suspect-
ed that I was deceived at the time had
I not heard the bell eine. However, I
must -narrate what happened.
Elliott waa in my tent with me having
a quiet cheroot until about ten o'clock.
I then walked the rounds with my jemi-
dar, and having seen that all was right
I turned in a little before eleven. I was
just dropping off to 'sleep, for I was dog-
tired after the days work, when I was
'Dulled bee some slight noise, and, look-
ing round, I saw a man dressed in Asiatio
costume standiug at the entrance of my
tent. He was motionless when I saw him,
and had his eyes fixed upon me with a
solemn and stern expression. My first
thought was that the fellow was some
Ghazi or Afghan fanatic who had stolen
in with the intention of stabbing me, and
with this idea in my mind I had all the
will to spring -from my couch and de-
fend myself, but the• power was unac-
eountably lacking. An overpowering
languor and want of energy Dammed. me.
Had .I seen the dagger descending upon
my breast I could not have made an
effort to avert it. I suppose a bird. when
it is under the influence of a snake feels
very much as I did in the presence of
this gloomy -faced stranger. My mind was
clear enough, but my body was as torpid
as though I were still asleep. I shut my
eyes once or twice and tried. to persuade
myself that the whole thing was a de-
lusion, but every time that I opened
them there was the man stili regarding
me with the same stony, menacing stare.
• 'Phe silence became unendurable. I felt
that. I must overcome my languor so
far as to address him. I am not a ner
'vett man, and I never knew before what
'Virgil meant when he wrote "adhoesit
, faucibus ora." At last I managed, to
stammer out a few words, asking the in-
truder who he . was and what he wanted.
"Lieutenant Heatherstone," 'he answer-
ed, speaking slowly and gravely, "you have
oommitted this day the foulest sacrilege
and the greatest crime which it is pos-
sible for man to do. Yoh have slain one
of the thrice blessed and reverent ones,
an arch adept of the first degree, an
elder brother who has trod the higher
path for more yeare than you have num-
ltered months. You have cut him off at a
time when his labors promised to reach

would have brought man one step nearer
to the Creator. A11 this you have done
without excuser without provocation, at a
time when be was pleading the cause of
the helpless and distressed. Listen now
to me. John Heatherstone.
"When firet the occult sciences were
pursued many thousands of years ago, it
was found by the Iearned tbat the short
tenure of .human existence was too limited
to allow a man to attain the Ioftiest
heights of inner life. The inquirers of
those days directed their energies in the
first place, therefore, to the lengthening
of their own days in order that they
might have more scope for improvement.
By their knowledge of the secret laws of
Nature they were euab]ed to fortify their
bodies against disease and old. age. It
only remained to protect themselves
against the aesanits of wicked and violent
men- who are .ever ready to destroy what I.
is wiser and nobler than themeelves.I
There was no direct means by wbich this {{
protection could be effected, but it was
in some measure attained by arranging
the •occliit forces in Ruth a way that a
terrible and unavoidable retribution
should await the offender. It was irre-
voeabiy ordained by laws wbieh cannot
be reverend that any one who should
ebed the blood of a brother who bad
attained a certain degree eta sanctity,
should be a doomed man. Those laws are
extant to this day. John Hetctb'erstone,
and you have placed yourself in their
power. Icing or emperor would. be helpless
before the forces which you have called
into play. What hope. then, is there for
you?
In former days these laws acted so in-
stantaneously that the slayer perished
with his victim. It was judged afterward
that this prompt retribution prevented
the offender from having time to realize
the enormity of his ()!fence It 'wee there-
fore ordained that in, all such eases the
retribution shooed be left in the handx

very nasty break, beoauee the bones
were protruding, and there was a
good deal of hemorrhage. The cap-
tain applied a toxiliquet around the
arm to stop the blood flow, and he
was afraid to remove it. Later the
arm became black front gangrene
below the seat of the 'fracture, So
he decided to amputate the black-

trembling lest the man should bleed

On the Farm
Sheep as Soil Improvers.
It is universally accepted that
sheep droppings under like condi-
tions contain a larger amount of
fertility than that from eitherthe
horse, cow or hog. One of the de-
sirable features of this produce is
the uniform distribution made by
the sheep over the land. In the
leading European countries, such
as England., Scotland, Trance and
Germany, the value of sheep in :im-
proving impoverished or naturally
thin soils has been ;recognized for
centuries. It is stated on good au-
thority that many of the soils would
be almost worthless but for the feet
that they are densely 'covered with
sheep. In these countries flocks of
sheep aggregating 2,000 or 3,000 in
number are not uncommonly seen.
The various breeds which naturally
inhabit 'the rough mountain lands
and the precipitous cliffs of these
countries, where only scanty and,
eroarse herbage ' exists, manifest
their great value in making other-
wise worthless land bring in profit-
able returns,
Mukalre, of the gullied land and
waste hillsides of this country could
be utilized profitably in the produe-
tion of sheep. Many prominent
farmers have proved this to their,
highest satisfaction. Much of the
land which now grows weeds and
other coarse vegetation can be re
'stored to profitable tillage by the
u`se of sheep. Fortunately, the
sheep is a ruminating animal and
with the compound stomach can
make use of much of the coarse
grass and ,weeds' which thrive on
these depleted soils. •
In European countries where
sheep raising it carried on e3eten-a
sively and usually profitably, little
concentrated feed is used, except
through the flushing and lambing
season. During other periods hay,
grass and roots form their main-
stay. Any farmer who is willing
to give sheep the seine amount of
intelligent care that he gives to
other. live stock will find them not.
only profitable, but good soil im-
provers, bringing into cultivation
large areas of otherwise waste land.
Oats and Peas.
very year I am .coming to ap-
preciate the value of oats and peas
as a summer forage for the dairy
cattle and as -a• source of protein
for winter feeding, writes a prom-
inent farmer. These crops are be-
coming more popular every year in
this -section. They are very palat-
able and 'nourishing, easy to out
and' handle, and come at a time
when the pastures are. short and
dry. -
A succession of sowings, will af-
ford green feed or • a" number of
weeks. Theser
crops be sown'
o s o '
shoulds
as early as possible; and the ideal.
way is to sow the peas broadcast
and plow them in about four in-
ches deep with a one-horse plow:
After_ four or five days put in the
oats about two inchesThey
w deep. Th y
will come up about the same time
and the peas will fill better and stay
green longer for being planted
deep.
On account of the rush of work
during the spring and • uncertain
weather conditions, we usually mix
the two kinds of seeds and com-
promise by drilling as deep as pos-
sible, putting in both kinds of seeds
at one operation.
The ground should be rolled and

"GOOD MEDICINE." '
Paiu-Tiller Bottles Were Used as
Idols in Burma.
A missionary recently returned
from Burma with an amusing story(
of the exaltation of a dozen patent=
'medicine bottles to the rank of
idols fervently worshipped by a
whole 'village.
On one of this lady's tours, she
passed through a small settlement]
where cholera was raging, She had
with her several bottles of a fam-{
ous "ready relief" for pain; so she!
went from house to house ,dosing'
nutsrous sufferers, and left the
bottles for the natives to use after,
she had gone.
Returning to the village somet
months later,the lady was met by,
the head man of the community,:
who cheered her pious soul by say
ing, "Mem sahib, we have come .
over to your side, The magic did
us so much good that we now ac-;
°opt and worship ynear gods."
Delighted at this iaews, the mis-'
sionary accompanied the man . and
his ,followers to his own dwelling,;
where he opened the door of a
room, and showed her the pain-
killer bottles arranged neatly upon
a sort of altar. The whole come
pany immediately prostrated theme,
selves before them in solemn wor-
ship.
