over ,illi laughter. It is silent, too, i
all In1' : he gurgling sniuidsas of water
lo.ihbiii'g down a rocky ravine.
Mynheer doe appreciates the shun- ;
t inn. knows he has made a consummate
donkey of himself, and although nut- j
Ill-ally lempled to make use of his I
l'o :t. firmly refrains. Two tnisinkes i
ei not make a right. Sandy has rea-
s .n to l.e merry. And, liesidcx, Joe I
realises that he has nerd of advice
l'r..!i this sagacious writer-tills little
l.i.'.n who h:,s. figuratively, waded
l.uee deep In yore lit battles. Search- j
iiig fur news.
The givar o! 'ignthui under which
he ha-, this night, placed Sandy, by
giving him tlio Moty of Khartoum's (
iownl'a'l and .'ordiin's death, must
stive as a h'M't- l i lift him from the!
slough of despond. Hack of it. of
course, is Sandy's personal regard fur I
his fellow-citizen. That goes a great
way. lie patiently waits till the other j
lias had his laugh out.
"I must beg your pardon, .lop. Aw- i
fid trick, that of yours. Too iutpul- !

"I Would have darned to see him!

iie h.non yet. Sly fellow, that mail. ,
''ln-y do say he's downed half a dozen j
men In affairs of honor, with sword

Mynheer Joe snaps his liugers.
"To ihe deuce wilh the bai'dli! If
he ever conies my way. I'll ring liN
iieasl'.y neck as 1 would that of a
chicken!" be mutters.
"'nod! ;hid lo henr you say so!
Despise the fellow myself. Aud vel. 1
Joe, he's a pnw er in tltp land, protected j
by a hired gang that is paid bv Rus

Mynheer Joe gives a low whistle.
"The deuce! Do you happen to
know these men, Sandy':" he asks in
n low tone.
"Two of them I am sure of. Then
!s another who bailies ine. Without
any niipnivnt motive, cast your

"And the other shadow?" pursue!'
Joe. whose mind is working upon a
suhjeet.
lie is n dark-skinned fellow -a na

the haron leaves Cairo for Bombay
or Calcutta soon, and this man will

"See here." Kl.VS Joe. quietly, "1 re
meinher such ii fellow. lie caught
my eye on the square at the time I
noticed the disturbance. He Hindi
me think of my faithful Kassee. which
fact causes me to remember him. At
the time he was Just hack of Tanner:
Indeed, not live feet separated them."
"Just tui," remarks Sandy, isiiniili
i n inly.
"All Idea strikes me.''
"Well, let's hear it."
''It is possible thai had Tanner been
foivd into conclusions with the baroll,
tie would have been set upon by thes-Thius."

"Si'.cii a thim.' would explain the

"I hid bless j mi. Sandy!"
"tine piod I mil deserves another.

"Heavens, diiii'i draw it loo siron',

"I shall deceive In r i nly in one

"That will hardly do, for you remem

"Hash! Don't tell her that -she will

is ihe handeiie st in Ihe world. No,
no, yoll mil.-l have suspected the t rill II

"Take n look across as 1 live, that

Conform! the villain, he's uoi the start
of me! Now. what am I to do, my
plod friend':'
Jnp has been considerably shaken
up by what lie has just seen, ami he
turns to his companion for eous.ila
lieli. ror.'unalely, Sandy is equal to the
einervrency, and quickly responds:
"Leave MWs Molly to me. Joe. I ll
undo all that rascal has built up. and
establish you in her heart more firm
ly than ever," he says, at which the
Iraveler squeezes his hand in a way
that marks his gratitude.
"Aj-'ain I say. Mess you, my hoy.
"What .-. tlx I would he in. only for
your genius In nrraiigini; things."
"Don't mention Ii. Time may lie
near nt hand when poor Sandy shall
have need of your strong, right hand
who knows':"
"And williiiKly shall it bp placed at

to have n hand In my own redemption
I don't like Ihe idea of standing

"That's just like a man of your size,
Joe. Well, I see no reason whv you
shouldn't hold your end of the log'."
"tJood!"
"While 1 win over the daughter, you
.in bp patching up the peace with the
awful dad."
"' -'nod heaven, f rc h: ! l.;; i:u' ;::.':iiii!

"How so':"
"Just got In to night from Khartorn'
-fought a duel on Ksbehiyeh square
and already arranging to make way
willi your rival for tin baud of the
belle of Cairo, whom yon have met
to-night "
"Do you mean Molly V" interrupted
Joe.
"Of course, mail."
"You fortjet. Sandy, sho has tx loused
to me fur a whole year. I saved her
from driitii In the Mediterranean at
Malta, mid ever since her fair face
has Minuted inc. sleeping or wakimr.
I fell that, if I lived, we would cnnio

"I see. you're a gone ease. Joseph."

us. outside of tlie fact Ihat I saved
her life, and that Imt Ii of us are crazy
(Hi the subject of Havel."
Hereupon, ill a sketchy way, he re
lates the story of Ihe legacy in all
ils peculiar details.
Sandj's moi'.ih opens as he hears. He
inters exclamations repeatedly about
it being the most remarkable ihiug ho
ever listened lo and woriiiy of r ril
ing. When .Mynheer Joe finally ceases
the Utile war ciirrcspoiideiil finds it

As Joe passes by a window, on his
way to Ihe quarters of the great Atner

of the draw ng reoni nr parlor of llie
hotel, and avails himself of the cp-
p.irtimit.v to take a look In the dir

"Come in!" roars a Voi.-e that would

In the South were planted last spring (
bout ilo.iHMi.iHHl acres In urn. These
would average about one and a half
tons of stalks per acre at a low esti
mate. This would give us IMMMm.tHKI
tons of stalks. If i ni and rured and
shredded these would wake ilO.IKHUXfO
tons of good hay. Di many parts of
the country hay sells at $lo lo $'g0 per
ton. so we think il is safe to value the
entire oulpui at .1. This would give
us $POO,iHNi.iNiit as the value of the corn
stalk crop of the South for one year.
'This is twice llie value of the cotton
crop. Including the seed.
We are suffering most of these to go
to waste. Wp are letting them rot or
burning them. This is a loss that good
fanning cannot suffer to go on. lie
pause we did not know tlie value of
corn stalks a few years since is not n
good reason why we should not lake
care of litem now that wp do know
their value. I'ast Ignorance does not

A few years since we did not know
the value of the eot innseed. Now uo
man ihinks of throwing away his eot

more than the cottoiiseul.
If a farmer plants ten acres iu cotton
and fen acres in corn in each plow, his
cottonseed will ho worth about $20 and
his corn stalks Sir.n. allowing twenty
cents per bushel for s.ed and $10 per

"Klm-k-ltuit" of Cotton.
Itlaek-rust of cotton bolls is eacM
year beeoniing worse in the cotton
fields of the eastern part of North
Carolina. The damage, is extensive iu
moist seasons. It frequently amounts
to one-tenth of the crop.
Black-rust Is n fungous disease, and
the spores or germs of the fungus nro
usually transmitted from place to place
with and In the cotton seeds. The fun
gus also attacks the leaves and stems
ot the cotton plant, but this form usu
ally causes no appreciable damage.
The spores of the fungus may. how
ever, live over winter in the steins aud
diseased bolls of the preceding crop.
The simplest nnd most effectual rem
edy for this disease is the annual se
lection of seed from plants known to
be free from the fungus. This, in con
nection with rotation of crops by
means of which eottot will not come
upon the same field oflener than once
in three years, will reduce damage by
black-rust to an inappreciable quan
tity. Cotton may he sprayed like other
herbaceous crops. For 1 1i is crop we
nufst use a spray which will not staiu
the lint. The ainnioniacal carbonate
of copper is the best spray to use upon
cotton. This is made by dissolving
six ounces of copper carbonate in three
pints of strong ammonia and adding
the resiilling solution to fifty gallons of
water. This may bf sprayed ou the
plains by any of the garden ur orchard
sprayers In common use. The lior
deaux mixture may be used upon cot
ton while il is young, but is no belter
than the ainmoiiiacal carbonate, and if
used afn r the bulls attain full growth
- -and this is the lime when if is most
needed - the liordeaux mixlure is liable
to siaiu tlie lint.
Paris green :tt rate of four ounces to
the barrel may be used wiih the P.or
deaux mixture to destroy caterpillars,
but im arsenic can. be safely Used with
i he aninioiiiacal solution. Hut annual
select Ion of her.liky seed and rotation
of crops is tle best remedy for black

I'he most important natural advan
tage of ihe South for profitable dairy
lug Is lis climate, making It poss'itde
to have good grazing on fresh pastures
from nine in twelve months of the
year. It is impossible to secure a full
flow of milk from a cow which docs
noi have fresh food from fresh pas
lures, soiling crops, root crops or the
silo, and the best of these is fresh pas
ture. Bermuda grass, lespecda and
ether plants are g I through the sum
mer, cow peas tind sorghum in the fall,
and winter oais. vetches and crimson
.-lover for winter feed. In no pari of
Ihe country is it possible to secure good
grazing through so great a part of the
year at so little cosi.
The mild winters make it unneces
sary lo provide expensive buildings for
protection from cold. The increase In

the winter temperature ranges from
twenty to thirty degrees lower, as in
the prominent dairy seciious of the
