If you hv 125 loads of manure to spread and you are coins to plant 25 acres'of corn or wheat,
or have a 25 acre meadow we will tell you how you can increase the value of your crop this year
from $4.00 to (8.00 per acre or more than enough to pay for a spreader. We issued a 48-page book
entitled "Practical Experience With Barnyard Manures." which explains the whole situation.
Our Flan is not a theory. It is an actual fact, backed up by actual experiments extending over
period of 18 years. To five you an idea of what this book contains, we show results of experi
ments made with various crops where 5 loads of manure were spread per acre by the old method,
and 5 loads by the new method, on corn ground. The latter shows a gain of $4.80 per acre. On
another field and in another state, it shows a gain of $5.60 per acre, and on a clover and timothy
meadow, a gain of $8.00 per acre.
Tkia Book will be sent free to anyone writing us. It is worth $100.00 to you, bat it won't cfest
you a cent. If it doesn't do yon any good, it won't do yon any harm. Write us now and let us mail
it to you. It is brimming full of valuable information.
Tho Smith Great
Endless Apron Manure Spreader
Spreads all kinds of manure, straw stack bot
toms andcommercial fertilizer regardless of their
condition. Spreads as much in a day as is men
can by hand. Spreads the largest load in 2 to 4
minutes. Makes the same amount of manure go
three times as fi.r and produce better results;
makes all manure fine and immediately avail
able for plant life.
Non-Bunchable Rake forms a hopper, holds
all hard chunks in contact with beater until
thoroughly pulverized.
Endless Apron is one continuous apron, (not
a H apron) therefore always re idv to load. You
don't have to drive a certain distance to pull it
back into position after each load or wind it back
by hand ; it is a great advantage in making long
hauls. i
There Is no Gearinif about our Endless Apron
to break and cause trouble, it is always up out
of the way of obstructions as it does not extend
below Bile. Spreads evenly from start to finish
and cleans out perfectly clean.
Hood and End Gate keeps manure away from
beater while loading ; prevents choking of beat
er and throwing out a bunch when starting and
acts as wind shield when spreading. It has a

as near the load as it can work. Front and rear
axles are the same length and wheels track;
beater shaft runs in ball and socket bearings,
therefore no friction. Beater is 23 inches in di

Simplicity. There are only two levers on our
machine. One which raises the hood, locks it
and throws the machine in gear at the same time.
It can then be thrown in and out of gear without
lowering the hood. One lever which changes
feed to spread thick or thin, making it so simple
that a boy who can drive a team can handle it.
Strength and Durability is one of the most
important points to be considered in a manure
spreader. The Great Western has a good, strong,
durable wheel. Extra strong spoke and rim,
heavy steel tires. Strong, well braced box with
heavy oak sill. Oak tongue, hickory doubletrees,
malleable castings, gears and sprockets all keyed

SILL AR of
LIGHT
CHAPTER L
XIi night long the great bell of
the lighthouse, slung to a stout
beam projecting " seaward be
neath the outer platform, had
tolled its warning through the fog.
The monotonous ticking of the clock
work attachment that governed it, the
sharp and livelier click of the occult
ing hood's machinery, were the only
sounds which alternated with Its deep
boom. The tremendous clang sent a
thrill through the giant column Itself
and pealed away into the murky void
with a tremolo of profound diminu
tions. Overhead the magnificent lantern, Its
eight ringed circle of flame burning at
full pressure, illumined the drifting
vapor with an Intensity that seemed to
be born of the sturdy granite pillar of
which it was the fitting diadem. Hard
and strong externally as the everlast
ing rock on which it stood, replete
within with burnished steel and polish
ed brass, great cylinders and powerful
pumps, the lighthouse thrust its glow
ing torch beyond the reach of the most
daring wave. Cold, dour, defiant it
looked. Yet its superhuman eye
sought to pierce the very heart of the
fog, and the, furnace white glare, con
centrated ten thousand fold by the en
circling hive of the dioptric lens, flung
far into the gloom a silvery cloak, of
inoonlike majesty.
At last an irresistible ally sprang to
the assistance of the unconquerable
light About the close of the middle
watch a gentle breeze from the Atlan
tic followed the tide and swept the
shivering wraith landward to the north
east, while the first beams of a June
sun completed the destruction of the
routed specter. -
So once more, as on the dawn of the
third day, the waters under the heaven
were gathered into one place and the
dry land appeared, and, behold, it was
good.
On the horizon the turquoise rim of
the sea lay with the sheen of folded
silk against the softer canopy of the
sky. ' Toward the west a group of Is
lands, to which drifting banks of mist
clung in melting despair, were etched
in shadows of dreamy purple. Over
the nearer sea floor the quickly dying
vapor spread a hazy pall of opal tints.
Across the face of the waters: glisten
ing bands of emerald green and serene
blue quivered in fairy lights. The
slanting rays of the sun hrew broad
cast a golden mirage and gilded all
things with the dumb gladness of an
English summer's day. ; ,
A man. pacing the narrow gallery be
neath the lantern, halted for a mo
ment to flood his soul afresh with a
beauty made en trancing by the knowl
edge that a few brief minutes would
resolve it Into maturer and more fa
miliar channs.
He was engaged, it Is true, in the
unromantlc action of filling his pipe,
a simple thing, beloved alike of poets
andyihavvies, yet hla eyes drank In the
mute glory of the scene, and, captive
to the spell of the hour, he murmured
aloud: "
"Floating on waves of music and of light.
Behold the chariot of the fairy queen!
Celestial coursers paw the unyielding air;
Their filmy pennons at her word they furl
And stop obedient to the reins of light."
The small door beneath the glass
fane was open. The worker, within,
busily cleaning an eight inch burner,
ceased for an instant and popped his
head out.
"Did you hail me?" he inquired.
The matter of fact words awoke the
dreamer. Ila turned vrit!i a pleasant
smile.
"To be exact, Jim, I did hail some
body, but it was Aurora, Spirit of the
Dawn, not a hard bitten sallorman
like you."
"Oh. that's all right, cap'n! I thought
I heard you singln' out for a light."
The other man bent his head to shield
a match from a puff of wind, thus con
cealing from his companion the gleam
of amusement in his eyes. His mate
sniffed the fragrant odor of the tobacco
longingly, but the Elder Brethren of
the Trinity maintain strict discipline,
and he vanished to his task without
a thought of broken rules.
He left a piece of good advice be
hind him.
"If 1 was you, cap'n," he said, "I'd

in. He comes on at 8. You ought to

an' there's fresh eggs an haddick."
"Just a couple of whiffs, Jim. Then
I'll go below."
Both men wore the uniform of assist
ant keepers, yet it needed not their
manner of speech to reveal that one
iwas a gentleman born and bred and
the other a bluff, good natured, horny
handed A. B., to whom new laid eggs
and recently cured fish appealed far
more potently than Shelley and a sum
mer dawn at sea.
He who had Involuntarily quoted
"Queen Mab" turned his gaze seaward
again. Each moment the scene was be
coming more brilliant, yet nearer to
earth. The faroff islands sent splashes
of gray, brown and green through the
purple. The rose flush on the horizon
was assuming a yellower tinge, and the
blue of sky and water was deepening.
Twenty miles away to the southwest
the smoke of a steamer heralded the
advent of an Atlantic liner, and the last
shreds of white mist were curling for
lornly above the waves.
The presence of the steamship, a tiny
dull spot on the glowing picture, peo
pled the void with life and banished
poetry with the thinly sheeted ghosts
of the fog. In a little more than an
hour she would be abreast of the Gulf
Rock light. The watcher believed was
almost certain, in fact that she was
the Princess Royal, homeward bound
from New York to Southampton. From
her saloon deck those enthusiasts who
had risen early enough to catch a first
glimpse of the English coast were al
ready scanning the trimly rugged out
lines of the Scilly isles and searching
with their glasses for the Land's End
and the .Lizard.
In a few hours they would be in
Southampton; that afternoon in Lon
don London, the Mecca of the world,
from which-two years ago he fled with
a loathing akin to terror. The big ship
out there, panting and straining as if
she were beginning, not ending, her
ocean race of 3,000 miles, was carrying
eager hundreds to the pleasures and
foIHes of. the great city. Yet he, the
man smoking and silently staring at
the growing bank of smoke a young
man, too; handsome, erect, with the
clean, smooth profile of the aristocrat
had turned his back on it all and
sought and found peace here in the
gaunt pillar on a lonely rock.
Strange how differently men are con
stituted. . And women! Bah! A hard
look came into his eyes. His mouth set
in a stern contempt. For a little while
his face bore a steely expression which
would have amazed the man within the
lantern, now singing lustily as he
worked. .
But, as the harp of David caused the
evil spirit to depart from Saul, so did
the music of the morning chase away
the lurking devil of memory which
sprang upon the lighthouse keeper with
the sight of the vessel.
He smiled again, a trifle bitterly per
haps. Behind him the singer roared
genially:
"Soon we'll be in London Town,
Sing, my lads, yeo ho-o!
And see the king in his golden crown,
Sing, my lads, yeo ho!"
The man on the platform seemed to
be aroused from a painful reverie by
the jingle S3 curiously apropos to his
thoughts. He tapped his pipe on the
iron railing and was about to enter the
lantern and so to the region of sleep
beneath when suddenly his glance,
trained to an acuteness not dreamed of
by folk ashore, rested on some object
seemingly distant a mile or less and
drifting slowly nearer with the tide.
At this hour a two knot current
swept to the east around and over the
treacherous reef whose sunken fangs
were marked by the lighthouse. In
calm weather, such as prevailed just
then, It was difficult enough to effect a
landing at the base of the rock, but
this same smiling water race became
an awful, raging, tearing fury when
the waves were lashed into a storm.
He pocketed his pipe and stood with
hands clinched on the rail, gazing in
tently at a white painted ship's life
boat, with a broken mast and a sail
trailing over the stern. Its color, with
the sun shining on it, no less than the
vaporous eddies fading down to the
surface of the sea, had prevented him
from seeing it earlier. Perhaps he
would' not have noticed it at all were
It not for the flashing wings of several
sea birds which accompanied the craft

I declared that there was naught else
! In sight save the steamer, whose tall
masts and two black funnels were now
distinctly .visible, 'b"ut "thef Bghthouse
keeper knew he Vas nqjt mistaken.
Here" was a boat adrift, forlorn, de
serted. Its contour .told him that it
was no local craft . straying adven
turously from island or mainland. Its
unexpected presence, wafted thus
strangely from ocean wilds, the broken
spar and tumbled canvas, betokened
an accident, perchance a tragedy.
"Jim!" he cried.
His mate, engaged in shrouding the
gleaming lenses from the sun's rays,
came at the call. He was lame, the
result of a wound received in the
Egyptian campaign; nevertheless, he
was quick on his feet.
"What do you make of that?"
The sailor required no more than a
gesture. He shaded his eyes with his
right hand, a mere shipboard trick of
concentrating vision and brain, for
the rising sun was almost behind him.
"Ship's boat," he answered laconical
ly. "Collision, I expect There's bin
no blow to speak of for days. But
they're gone. Knocked overboard when
she was took aback by a squall. Un

He spoke In a species of verbal short
hand, but his meaning was clear
enough, even to the sentence left un
finished. The craft was under no con
trol. She would drift steadily Into the
bay until the tide turned, wander in
an aimless circle for half an hour
thereafter, and then, when the ebb re
stored direction and force to the cur
rent, voyage forth again to the fabled
rpalm.of Lyonnesse.

Additional Local.
The absence f a sea breeze was proba
bly all that saved the Strong saw mill
and lumber yard from destruction by fiie,
Wednesday afternoon. The smokestack
at the mill blew out, scattering sparks in
all directions, and almost instantly there
were fires in a dozen or fifteen places.
The sawdust dump was ignited, as was
also the slab pile, the mill roof and many
other places. Fortunately there was no
breeze and the promptness of the fire de
partment and their good .work saved the
day. The damage was very slight.
The lawn social given by Miss
Marjorie Richards at Cauthorn Hall,
Wednesday night, was a very enjoyable
affair tor th9 large party of guests pres
