The way is long and rough, heads hung listlessly, while their and flanks were covered with sweat The men dismounted and loosened the saddle girths. Had Johnson returned? they asked her. Not that she had heard of, she replied. Did they want Johnson? Had they been searching for him? Yes, they replied, they wanted Johnson; he was summoned to appear in the town in the Green case; it was believed he could tell considerable about the matter; should he not apthey must wait. pear What if he were dead? she asked, curiously; if he had fallen into .some one of the dangerous places on the mountain? If he were dead, they said well, if he were dead that would put a different face upon the matter; they hoped he was not dead, for the law should not be baffled. Did she think he was dead? Had she cause to think so? No, she knew no reason why Johnson should be dead unless he had fallen in some of the dangerous places on the mountain; they must know this, for they had been there; for her part she knew nothing about it save from what she heard those say who lad been there. They paid her liberally and rode away. Dolores was still sitting at the gate under the pines with her haggard face and idle hands, and the eyes that watched for what did not come. Johnson was not there, she said, quietly, and they never questioned her word, but instinctively lifted tbeir hats as they rode away. CHAPTER IX. r More Thorough Search. Dolores, worn with watching and faint from lack of food, fell asleep at and slept the whole the door-waA I will walk, she said, simply. Her lips had lost their warm red color; her wide eyes were on his face in their strange wistfulness. Then I will leave him at the tavern, he said, quietly, to comfort her. A group of men were around the door of the tavern as they approached and were talking over the events jof the previous day. When young Green and Dolores appeared their glances were suggestive, and they listened in silence when the young man spoke. When he finished an ominous silence fell upon them. Then Lodie arose. Of them all he was the most angular and uncouth, but among them he was nobler than they. Ther depties dednt know ther he said gravely. mounting, Theys might hev ams stepped on em othout knowin et.

The strange party moved along the ghostly mist of the valley road and across the bridge like spirits of the mountain. The ascent was hard and tcilsome, and Dolores was unused to such exertion; young Green was athletic, but he also had never so had his strength put to the proof. They paused many times to rest and recover breath. By and by Green helped Dolores. Her recent lack of food and sleep had unfitted her for such exertion. She was panting and weak, but she smiled her slow, brave smile, and shook her head when he offered to take her home if she wished. She came to find her father, she said quietly, and she would find him; she felt certain of that. Up in the blue space a vulture hovered; the dull flap of his wings was audible in the dead stillness and hollow below. Dolores saw him, and her -- t awe-struc- k in-ld-e.

When she saw what young Green was about to do, she came forward, a world of wonder and horror and pleading in her eyes that were larger and darker than usual as they met the steady blue ones above her. 3.W' "Do not go, she said, slowly, as Vlll though the words would not come.

In some parts of the country as It should be, owlnj to the south the growers are taking advfin-tagof this idea and are considering the possibility of growing potatoes as spring and fall crops rather than as summer crops, with the hope of escaping the hot weather effects on the crop. Even in the warmer parts of the south, good yields have been obtained by planting very early and securing the growth of the crop before the middle of July. We have always considered the south as at a disadvantage in the growing of Irish potatoes, but science may yet help out so largely that the potato growing areas there will become important factors in the supplying of this crop. Preparing for the Corn Crop. On many of our farms the work of preparing for the coming corn crop was largely dope in the fall.

After Conservative Citizen Was posed to Women Voting. said the Conservative CitiNo, zen, I am not swayed by prejudice, but I shudder when I think what will happen to this country if women are ever allowed to vote and become really irterested in politics.

"Afraid they wouldnt vote as intelligently as men? No, I dont see how they could make any more blunders in that line than we do. When I think of the chumps that I, with delirious enthusiasm, have helped to put into office, dont feel competene to criticise other voters, present or prospective. "Well, what are you afraid of?
