Ho was motionless when I saw him, and had his eyea fixed upon me with a solemn and stern expression. Ify first thought was that the fellow was some Ghazi or Afghan fanatic who had stolen in with the intention of etabbing 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- countably lacking.

The silence became unendurable. I felt that I must overcome my languor so far as to -address him. I am not a ner- vous man, and I never knew before what Virgil meant when he wrote •adhoesit tam:tbus 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, speakingslowly and gravely, "you have committed this day tbo foulest sacrilege and the greatest crime which it is pos- sible for man to do. You have slain one of the thrice blessed and reverent ones, an arch adept of the first degree, an older brother who has trod the higher path for more years than you have num. bored months. You have out him off at a time when hie labors promised to ranch tG climax and when he was about. to attain a height of occult knowledge which -would have brought man one step nearer to the Creator. All this you have done without excuse, without provocation, at a time when he was pleading the cause'of the helpless and distressed. Listen note to are, John Heatheratone. "When first the occult sciences were pursued many thousands of years ago, it was found by the learned that the short tenure of human existence was too limited to allow a may to attain the loftiest 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 Heppe far improvement, By their knowledge of the secret laws of Nature they were enabled to fortify their bodies against disease and old age. It only remained to protect themselves against the assaults of wicked and violent men who are ever ready to destroy what is wieer and nobler than themselves. There was no direct means -by which this protection could be effected, but it was is some measure attained by arranging the occult forces in such a way that a terrible and unavoidable retribution should await the offender. It was irre- vooably ordained by laws which cannot be reversed ebloodaofaay brother who had attained a certain degree of sanctity should be a doomed man. Those laws are extant to this day, Sohn Heatheratone,. and you have placed yourself in their Power. King or emperor would be helpless intorplay. What hopiehtheu lea there called you? "In former days these latus 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 eeaiise the enormity of his offence. Xt was there- fore ordained that in all such eases the retribution should be left in the hands of the ahelee, or immediate disciples of the holy man, with power to extend or shorten it at their will, exacting it either at the time or at any future anniversary of the day when the crime was commit- ted.

Lusitania Will Bristle With Cannon When She Sails Again. tiV roro -a er4Or Viam Sheep as Soil inkprover's. It is universally accepted that sheep droppings under like condi- tions contain a larger amount of fertility than that from either the 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, Franco 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 fact 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 coarse herbage exists, manifest their groat value in making other- wise worthless land bring in profit- able returns. Much of the gullied land 'and waste hillsides of this country could be utilized profitably in the produc- tion of sheep. ' Many prominent farmers have proved this to thejr highest satisfaction. Much of the land which now grows weeds and other coarse vegetation can be re- stored to profitable tillage by the use 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 is carried on exten- sively and usually profitably, little concentrated food 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 same amount of intelligent care that he gives to other live stock will find them not only profitable, but good soil Mi - provers, bringing into cultivation large areas of otherwise waste land. The reason which the crack liner Luisitania has been so long delayed at Liverpool, has 'been announced to be because her turbine engines are being completely replaced, but the Cunard officials at Liverpool acknowledged recently that the recordsofmajor operations at sea greyhound is being equipped with which have saved the lives of the high power naval rifles in oonform- ity with England's now policy of arming passenger boats.

For every case of neglect, how- ever, there are, as a writer in a Sydney paper points out, ten where excellent treatment has been given.

Every 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 cut 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. These crops should be sown 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 inches deep. They 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 cam. promise by drilling as deep as pos- sible, putting in both kinds of seeds at one operation. The ground should be rolled and planked so that the crop can be cut with a mowing machine or scythe. I prefer to use about two bushels of peas to one of oats, although I frequently vary the amounts me- cording'to the price of the pea seed. For cutting green it is best to make a number of sowings about a week or ten days apart.
