' . ' That's what a Spreader will do if
If yew hava'125 loads of manure to spread and you are going to plant 25 acres'of corn or wheat,
or have a 25 acre meadow we will tc!l 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 Plan is not a theory. It is an actual fact, backed np by actual experiments extending over
a period of 18 years. To give 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. Oa
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.
This Book will be sent free to anyone writing ns. It is worth f 100.00 to yon. but it won't cost
yon a cent. If it doesn't do yon any good, it won't do you any barm. Write ns now and let us mail
it to yon. It is brimming full of valuable information.

as near the load as it can work. Front and rear
axles are tlie 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

Jbnes a' man of " whitewash, polish j
and rigid adherence to framed rules, ,
found the boat Instantly and recapitu
lated Jim's inventory, eliciting grunts
of agreement as each item was ticked
off.
A clang of metal beneath caught their
ears the opening of the stout doors,
forty feet above high water mark, from
which a series of iron rungs sunk in
the granite wall led to the rocky base.
"Brand's goin to swim out. It's
hardly worth while signalin. to the
Land's End," commented Jones.
No answer. Jim leaned well over
and saw their associate, stripped to
his underclothing, with "a leather belt
supporting a sheath knife slung across
his shoulders; climbing down the lad
der. This taciturnity surprised Jones, for
Jim was the cheeriest nurse who ever
brought a sufferer a plate of soup.
"It's nothing for a good swimmer, is
It?' was the anxious question.
"No. It's no distance to speak of."
"An' the sea's like a mill pond?",
"Aye. it's smooth enough."
"Don't you think he ought to try it?
Every fine mornin he has a dip off the
rock."
"Well, if it's all right for him an'
you it's all right for me."
Jim had urged his plea to the man
whom it chiefly concerned. He was
far too sporting a character to obtain
the interference of authority and
Jones, whose maritime experiences
were confined to the hauling in or pay
ing out of a lightship's cable, had not
the slightest suspicion of lurking dan
ger in the blue depths.
, A light splash came to them, and, a
few seconds later, Brand's head and
shoulders- swung into view. After a
dozen vigorous breast strokes he rolled
over on to -his. side and waved his left,
hand to the two men high above him!
With a sweeping'side stroke he made
rapid : progress. Jones, unincumbered
by knowledge,- blew through his lips.
"He's a wonderful chap, ''is Brand,"
he said contentedly. , "It licks ' ine
what a man. like him, wants messin'
about in the service for. He's eddi-
cated up to the. top notch, an' he has-'
money too. His lodgin's cost the whole
of his pay.vthe missus says, an that
kid of his has a hospital miss, if yoif
please." . V
Jones was grateful to his mates for
their recent attentions. He1 was in
clined to geial gossip, but Jim was
watching the boat curving toward the
lighthouse. The high spring tide was
at the full. So he only growled: -
"You can see with half an eye he has
taken on this job for a change. I wish
he was in that blessed boat"
Jones was quite certain how that his
subordinate harbored some secret fear
of danger,
"What's up?" he cried. "He'll, board
her in two ticks."
On no account would the sailor men
tion sharks. He might be mistaken,
and Jones would guffaw at his "deep
sea" fancies. Anyhow, it was Brand's
affair. A friend might advise; he
would never tattle.
The head keeper, vaguely excited,
peered through his glass. Both boat
and swimmer were in the annular field.
Brand had resumed the breast stroke.
The swing of the tide carried the
broken bow toward him. He was not
more than the boat's length distant
when he dived suddenly and the cor
morants ' flapped aloft. A black fin
darted into sight, leaving a sharply di
vided trail in the smooth patch of
water created by the turning of the
derelict.
Jones was genuinely startled now.
My God!" he cried. "What Is it?"
"A shark!" yelled Jim. "I knew It
I warned him. Eh, but he's game, is
the cap'n."
"Why didn't you tell me?" roared
Jones. Under reversed conditions he
would have behaved exactly as Jim
did.
But It was no time for words. The
men peered at the sudden tragedy with
an intensity which left them gasping
for breath. More than 200 yards away
in reality, the magnifying glasses
brought this horror so close that they
could see they almost thought they
could hear Its tensely dramatic ac
tion. The rapidly moving black signal
reached the small eddy caused by the
man's disappearance. Instantly a,great
sinuous, shining body rose half out of
the water and a pcyerful tail struck
the side of the boat a resounding

Jim's first expletive died in his
throat
"He's done it!" Jones heard him say.
"He's ripped him. Oh, bully! May the
Lord grant there's only one."
For a single instant they ' saw the
dark hair and face of the man above
the surface. The shark whirled about
and rushed. Brand sank, and again the
giant man eater writhed in agonized
contortions and the sea showed masses
of froth and dark blotches. The flut
terings of the birds became irregular
and alarmed. Their wheeling flights
partly obscured events below. The
gulls, screeching their fright, or it
might be interest kept close to the
water, and the cormorants sailed in cir
cles aloof.
Jones was pallid and streaming with
perspiration.
"I wouldn't have had it happen for
fifty quid," he groaned.
"I wouldn't ha' missed it for a hun
dred," yelped Jim. "It's a fight to a
finish, and the cap'n '11 win. There
ain't another sea lawyer on the job, an'
Brand knows how to handle this one."
Their mate's head reappeared, and
Jim relieved the tension by a mighty
shout:
"He'll swim wild now, Brand. Keep
out of his track."
Sure enough, the ugly monster began
to thrash the water and career around
on the surface in frantic convulsions.
The second stab of the knife had reach
ed a vital part. Brand, who perhaps
had seen a Malay diver handling his
lifelong enemy, coolly struck out to
ward the stern of the boat. The shark,
churning the sea into a white foam,
whirled away in blind pursuit of the
death which was rending him. The
man, unharmed Dut somewnat Dream
less, clambered over the folds of the
sail into the boat.
','Glory be!',' quavered Jones, who
was a Baptist.
Jim was about to" chant his thanks in
other terms when his attention was
caught by Brand's curious actions.
; In stepping across the after thwart
he stopped" as. though something had
stung him. His hesitation was mo
mentary. .- Pressing his left hand to
mouth and nose, he passed rapidly for
ward,; stooped, caught a limp body by.
the belt which every sailor wears and,
with :a mighty effort, slung it Into the
sea, where it sank instantly. So the
sharkv like many a human congener of
higher intellect had only missed his
opportunity by being too precipitate,
while thevpormorants and gulls, eying
him ominously, did not know what
they had lost.
Then the man returned to the sail
and peered beneath. Neither of the on
lookers could distinguish anything of
special interest under the heavy can
vas sheet. Whatever it - w&s'. Brand
apparently resolved to leave it alone
for the moment
He shipped a pair of oars and, with
two vigorous sweeps, impelled the dere
lict away from the charnel house at
mosphere which evidently clung to it.
Then the shark engaged his attention.
It was floating belly upward, its white .
nnderskin glistening in the sunlight.
Two long gashes were revealed, one
transverse, the other lengthwise, prov
ing how coolly and scientifically Brand
had done his work. An occasional
spasm revealed that life was not yet
extinct, but the furtive attack of a dog
fish, attracted by the scent of blood,
which stirs alike the denizens of air,
land and ocean, was unresisted.
The rower stood up again, drove a
boat hook into the cruel jaws and lash
ed the stock to a thorl pin with a piece
of cordage. This accomplished to his
satisfaction, he looked toward the Gulf
Rock for the first time since he drew
the knife from its sheath, gave a cheery
hand wave to the shouting pair on the
balcony and settled down to pull the
recovered craft close to the rock.
Jim closed the telescope with a snap.
"He heaved the dead man over
board." he announced, "so there's a
live one under the sail."
"Why do you think that?" said Jones,
whose nerves were badly shaken.
"Well, you saw what happened to
the other pore devil. Either him or the
cap'n had to go. It 'ud be the same if
there was a funeral wanted aft Them
there birds But come along, boss.
Let's give him a hand."
They hurried down to the iron barred
entrance. Jones shot outward a small

Atlantic swell, even in calm weather,
rendered landing or boarding a boat a
matter of activity. At this stage of the
tide each wave lapped some portion of
the granite stones and receded quickly
down the slope of the weed covered
rock.
The gulls and cormorants, filling the
air with raucous cries, were rustling in
rapid flight in the wake of the boat,
darting ever and anon at the water or
making daring pecks at the floating
carcass.
Soon Brand glanced over his shoul
der to measure the distance.. With the
ease of a practiced oarsman, he turned
his craft to bring her stern on to the
landing place.
"Lower a basket!" he cried to Jones,
and, while the others wondered what
the urgency In his . voice betokened.
there reached them the deep, strong
blast of a steam whistle, blown foui
times in quick succession.
Each and all, they had forgotten tht
Princess Royal. iShe was close in,
much nearer than mail steamers usual
ly ventured. -
At first they gazed at her with sur
prise. Brand even suspending his
maneuvers for a moment. Then Jim,
knowing that a steamship trumpets the
same note to express all sorts of emo
tio4, understood that the officers had
witnessed a good deal, if not all, thai
had taken place and were offering
their congratulations.
"Blow away, my hearties!" crowed
Jim, vainly apostrophizing the vessel.
"You'll have somethln' to crack aboui
when you go ashore tonight or I'm very
much mistaken. Now, cap'n," he went
on, "take the cover off. It's alive, I
suppose. Is it a man or a woman?"

RAND was slow to answer. For
one thing, he was exhausted.
Refreshing as the long swim
was after a night of lonely
B
vigil, itself the culmination of two days
of hard work, the fierce battle with the
shark had shocked into active existence

r.iiieod to restore his
senses. So .ikn's questioa fell oa his
ears with ths meaningless sound of the
steamer's siren.
"What is it. mate'.'" repeated his fel
low keeper, more insistently. "You
cin't hurt anyways, are you?"
"It is a baby," said Brand, in a
curiously vacant way.
"A bahy!" shrieked Jones, stretched
out over ths crane ahore their heads.
"A what-::'.'" n-::r.'u i:t: sailor, who?
crudely developed nervous system was
not proof against the jar of incredulity
induced by this statement. Had Brand
said "a tiger" he could not have ex
hibited greater concern.
"Yes, a baby and it is living. I
heard it cry," murmured the other, sit
ting down rather suddenly.
Indeed, a faint wail, suggestive of a
kitten, now came from beneath the
tumbled canvas quite near to Jim.
But the royal navy does not encourage
neurosis. The lighthouse keeper felt
that a minor crisis had arrived. It
must be dealt with promptly.
The evil odor which still adhered to
the boat told him that Brand had ex
changed one inferno for another when
he clambered out of the reach of the
blindly vengeful shark.
He looked up to Jones.
"Lower away," he said promptly.
"Swing the derrick until I grab the
tackle, and then hoist me aboard."
This was done. Ungainly in his
walk, owing to his wounded limb, Jim,
clinging to a rope, had the easy activ
ity of a squirrel.
"Now lower a jug with some brandy.
He's dead beat" he added.
While Jones hastened for the spirit
the sailor stooped and threw back the
sail.
Lying in the bottom of the boat
wrapped in a blanket which unavailing
struggles had rumpled into a roll be
