much more. The lambing aeaaon had
come and gone, and the flock of sheep
had doubled In number. The cxttle, too,
had greatly Increased, and tho sheep
were nearly ready for shearing. Alto
gether tho value of the stock waa over
five thousand dollars. The loss would not
be abolute ruin, as. be bad still three

would hu a very serious loss,

danger, and who had besides an unlimit

and Mr. Hardy had to speak quite serl

strictly attended to, A box had been
placed In the storeroom on the upper
floor of the tower, and tho boys were
given acrewdrlvera and bammrra to open
It. The aatoDlshmeot of all waa un

ordinary algnal rockets, but the rest were

will give out a most brilliant light. One
of them thrown Into the air, eveor where
