Ozark range. lie was wet, cold, ex hausted and, worse than all else, lost. So when at last a little speck of light suddenly shot out of the darkness he hailed it as a harbinger of shelter and rest and hurried forward with renewed hope. lie had taken less than a dozen steps, however, when be found himself face to face with a tall, determined looking man and a gun. The two men scrutinized each other narrowly, while half a dozen ruflians gathered round. The man with the gun Anally broke the silence by saying: "It's a bad business, your coming here, young fellow; but since you have come we'll have to attend to you, I guess." With that he made a motion to the other men, and they speedily -bound Jack hand and foot. "What does" this mean?' "Warner demanded. "Oh, nothing much," the man with the gun replied. "About all it means is that you will have to take a bath in the Big spring, and anything that goes in there neTer comes out" Warner comprehended the man's meaning now and, aghast with horror, cried: "Great God! Do you mean to drown me?" "Wo mean to put you where you won't nevertell no tales," was tho cool reply. Warner tried to collect his reasoning faculties and speak calmly. "Before going any further let's sit down and talk this matter over. There Is a misunderstanding," he began. Tho other slowly shook his head. "I guess," lie replied, "there ain't no misunderstanding on our part, at least. You made tho mistake when you enmo here to spy on us." "Right there you are wrong," War ner said. "I did not come here to spy on you. "Ah, come! You can't fool us. If you ain't one of them revcuuers sneak ing round to locate our still, what are you doing here at this time of night and in all this storm?" Well, In tho first place I m the now schoolteacher In this district. I've been hero a week, and you have proba bly heard of me. In the second place, this being Saturday, I spent the day Uahing, remained too late, and with this rainstorm I lost my way. In the third place in my wanderings around this morning I accidentally stumbled on this spot. "Sow there's tho truth, the whole truth and nothing but tho truth, so help me." After a pause tho man with tho gun replied: "That may be so, but still I don't see that It changes matters any. You'd be most sure to report on us for the sake of tho rewnrd." "I'll pledgo you my word of honor that I will never whisper to any living mortal a word of all thls." 1 - " 'Maybe you won't; but, you see, wo can't tell about that, sometimes a man's word and honor don't amount to much, and we can't afford to take no great chances. There's no use of all this talk. Wo know our dutyto our selves, and we propose to do It. Boys, bring him on and let's settle It." Two men advanced and took Warner bj the arms to lead him away to the Big spring. Pale with terror, he cried "Great God I Would you murder me?" "It Is better for you to go that way than for us to go at tho end of a rope. Loosen his feet, boys, so he can step along." They cut the cord about Warner's; legs aud started forward into the woods. But a woman, her face white nnd anxious,, her hnir flying wildly In the wind, barred their way. "For God's sake, Liz," tho man with tile gun cried, "what's up?" "They're herd" she gasped. Then, clasping her hands and looking into his face nppeallngly, she added: "Go, quick, Jake ! Ply before they got you." "What arc you talking about?" Jake demanded. "Who is it? Not the" "Yes, yes; the rovenuersl The cab in's surrounded, and they're searching the woods. I slipped away, but most likely they seen me. Don't wait,. Jake, but go quick!" His face darkened, and a dangerous light came to his eyes. "D- 'em!" he said bitterly. "Lot 'em come! I'll get some of 'em before they get me." Thou, turning to his men, he added: "Stand back out of the light, boys, so that you can't bo seen. Wait a minute! This man has .been spying on us, and we'll flx him for It llrst." With that he struck off into the woods, commanding two of his men to follow with Warner and tho others, with Liz, to hide. After covering about thirty yards along the side of tho mountain he stop ped on tho brink of a dark hole. It was tho Big spring, that greedily swallows up everything that falls a prey to It and gives nothing back. A cold chill of horror wont over Warner as he heard the water boiling and bubbling down there in the dark. "Throw him in, boys," Jake said coolly. The men began to 'push Warner for ward. In his struggles the rope slip ped from his arms. Finding his hands free, he wrenched himself from the grasp of one of the. men and. striking him n quick blow, sent him reeling back toward the spring. There was a scream, a heavy splash in the water and then silence. Quickly following up his advantage, ho struggled to free himself from the other man and had almost succeeded when Jake gave him n push that sent him flying over tho brink of the spring and clear to tho op posite siuo, where ho struck against the bank. ' As he began to sink down into the hole he clutched frantically in search of a support. When half his body was in the water, his lingers grasped a jut ting stone that checked his fall. There ho hung, his whole weight on his lin gers nnd the waters tugging at him as if angrily determined to tear him away. By a flash of lightning Jake saw him clinging totho wall and, with an oath, started around to that side of the spring, in .another flash Warner saw Jake with his gun raised to strike him A 4. A 1. . . . , , it wiu aumi; instant mere was a pistol report, and in the darkness War ner felt a heavy body plunge past him ana Heard a great splash In the water, Then, Just .as his Angers had begun to relax their hold, a pair of strong nanus grasped his wrists and saved him from sinking. For the lirst time in his life he fainted. AVhen le returned to consciousness, no was lying before a fire In the she! ter of the still with a dozen detectives. Three of the "moonshiners" were in irons. The detectives, guided by the scream of the man wlio had Arst, met his fate in tne spring, had urrlved just in time to give Jake to tho spring, which no doubt hid much of his guilty past. Afterward they had captured the rest of tho gang, killing one in the flight TMm wnnun Tiz had escaped. Guided by Ulniaelr. Tho father of Thomas Jefferson died in 17&7, and the son's situation was touchingiy described by him years aft erward in a letter written to his eldest grandson when he was. sent from home to school for the Arst time. It is given in "Tho True Thomas Jefferson," by William E. Curtis. The letter was as follows: "When I recollect that at fourteen years of ago tho whole care and direc tion of myself was thrown on myself entirely, without, a relative or friend quallfled to advise or guide me, and recollect the various sorts of bad com pany with which I associated from time to time, I am. astonished that I did not turn off with some of them nnd become as worthless to society as they were. "I had the good fortune to become acquainted very early with Borne char acters of very high standing and to feel tho Incessant wish that I could be come as they were." His father loft Instructions for his education nnd especially enjoined up on tho widow not to permit him to neglect "tho exercise requisite for his bodye's development" This strong man know the value of strength and used to say that a person of weak bmiv could not have an Independent mind.

M2 A a Mtrm-h Wo have often referred, to tho very satisfactory yield of dairy products from the herd nt tile Minnesota state farm nnd cited records as a justifica tion for persuading farmers to give more heed to "tho balanced ration. Not only could wo refer to that herd as strongly favoring the adoptlop of the methods of feeding there, but ample testimony from other herds could bp cited with similar, irestilts. Now and then came reports fromirenderfe thhtno beneficial results followed the feeding of a balanced ration. To such it was always explained that improved meth ods of feeding must; begiu with a dow fresh in milk and that when she find shrunken In her flow she could uot be made to Increase its supply of protein unless she had access to succulent feed, like new pasture. If there is provided .

Mauston, W.is., deferring to fin article published in Hoard's Dairy man -wherqln wo commented somewhat on buckwheat shorts and buckwheat bran and middlings, wants to know whether in our judgment the hulls of buckwheat are o? any considerable feeding value. lie says they are re ported to c6ntain from 4 to 4 per cent crude protein, 40 to 44 per cent carbo hydrates and 1 per cent other extract, being, In this respect equal to mixed hay. This may be true from the chem ist's standpoint, but. these pure buck wheat hulls are some like cottonseed hulls, very difllcult to digest, und cases have been reported where animnls, es pecially swine, have been very much injured by eating them because of their sharp edges and corners. For our part we should hesitate to feed them at all, much preferring to sift out the hulls from the middlings and uso them for bedding. A Clean Tall.
