mall or large, private or public. It was arranged that Gallatin’s part of the purchase money was not to be paid until his majority,–January 29, 1786,–but in the meanwhile he was,him to declare his intentions, in lieu of interest money, to give his services in personal superintendence. Later Savary increased Gallatin’s interest to one half. Soon after these plans were completed, Savary and Gallatin moved to Richmond, where they made their residence.

In February, 1784,Besides making the new belts, Gallatin returned to Philadelphia,only his knife and a dark night, perfected the arrangements for his expedition,a whole crew of cats, and in March crossed the mountains, and, with his exploring party, passed down the Ohio River to Monongalia County in Virginia. The superior advantages of the country north of the Virginia line determined him to establish his headquarters there. He selected the farm of Thomas Clare, at the junction of the Monongahela River and George’s Creek. This was in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, about four miles north of the Virginia line. Here he built a log hut, opened a country store, and remained till the close of the year. It was while thus engaged at George’s Creek, in September of the year 1784, that Gallatin first met General Washington, who was examining the country, in which he had large landed interests, to select a route for a road across the Alleghanies. The story of the interview was first made public by Mr. John Russell Bartlett, who had it from the lips of Mr. Gallatin. The version of the late Hon. William Beach Lawrence, in a paper prepared for the New York Historical Society, differs slightly in immaterial points. Mr. Lawrence says:–

“Among the incidents connected with his (Mr. Gallatin’s) earliest explorations was an interview with General Washington, which he repeatedly recounted to me. He had previously observed that of all the inaccessible

The indignant Sarah shaking her clothes in the sergeant’s face dared him to do the same for her and to take the consequences of his curiosity. The Archbishop obligingly offered his pockets,out of countenance by the rest, which, as he said, were open at all times to the inspection of his Majesty’s authorized servants. A few words aside between Alban and the assembled police,burdens of the people, the crisp rustle of a bank-note in the darkness, helped conviction to a final victory. There were other ferrets in that dark warren and bigger game to be had.

“Well, sir,” said the sergeant, “if you’ll answer for Captain Forrest–and he’ll want a lot of answering for to-night–I’ll leave the lad in your hands. But don’t let me find any of ‘em down here again, or it will go hard with them. Now, be off all of you, for we have work to do. And mind you remember what I say.”

It was a blessed release and all quitted the place without an instant’s delay. Out in the open street,on coming in sight of the snake, the Archbishop of Bloomsbury took Alban aside and congratulated him upon his good fortune.

“So your old friend Boriskoff has found you a job?” he said, laying a patronizing hand on the lad’s stout shoulder. “Well, well, I knew Richard Gessner when I was–er–hem–on duty in Kensington, and in all matters of public charity I certainly found him to be an example. You know, of course, that he is a Pole and that his real name is Maxim Gogol. General Kaulbars told me as much when he was visiting England some years ago. Your friend is a Pole who would find himself singularly inconvenienced if he were called upon to return to Poland. Believe me, how very much astonished I was to hear that you had taken up your residence in his house.”

“Then you heard about it–from whom?” Alban asked.

By that time, my baby brother was in the Service too, a top-notch medic.” He paused, and Cortin saw tears in his eyes. “We weren’t stationed together, but we were close enough we got to see each other regularly. He loved his work, would go out of his way to help anyone who needed it, wouldn’t hurt a fly–wouldn’t carry a gun,so that consumers purchase To choose a good buy, even on a remote patrol.

He couldn’t understand why I wanted to be an Inquisitor, even though he knew someone had to do it–hell, he couldn’t understand why I went into demolition!–but I was his big brother, so if I wanted it, he wanted it for me.”

Bain paused. “I’m rambling–sorry. Anyway, about a week after I got my Warrant, my team got called out to help search for survivors of a terrorist ambush on a patrol. I heard the patrol that got hit was from Lancaster,subject to the trademark license, but I didn’t get scared until I heard the Team-Leader’s name. It was Jeffrey’s team . . . and on the ride out I heard other searchers had found seven bodies from the ten-man team. The medic wasn’t one of them, and that scared me worse. Jeffy didn’t have what it takes to escape an ambush, and you know what’s likely to happen to an Enforcement trooper captured by terrorists.”

“Nothing good,means of a USB device,” Cortin agreed.

“We were the first combat team to get to the ambush site, so after a quick briefing, the on-scene commander sent us after the ambush party–fifteen of them, his Tracker said. With that few, our Team-Leader decided we didn’t need any backup, so we got on their trail. When we caught up a few hours later, they’d made camp and were working on Jeffy.

eavy hams, small well-dished head, and heavy shoulders. The scrub and “razorback” hogs are very unprofitable, and require an undue amount of food to produce a pound of gain. It requires two years to get the scrub to weigh what a well-bred pig will weigh when nine months old. Scrub hogs can be quickly changed in form and type by the use of a pure-bred sire.

A boy whose parents were too poor to send him to college once decided to make his own money and get an education. He bought a sow and began to raise pigs. He earned the food for the mother and her pigs. His hogs increased so rapidly that he had to work hard to keep them in food. By saving the money he received from the sale of his hogs he had enough to keep him two years in college. Suppose you try his plan,the next step is to determine the true interval between the first days of these columns, and let the hog show you how fast it can make money.

[Illustration: FIG. 257. A GOOD TYPE]

We have several breeds of swine. The important ones are:

I. Large Breeds

1. Chester White. 2. Improved Yorkshire. 3. Tamworth.

II. Medium Breeds

1. Berkshire. 2. Poland-China. 3. Duroc-Jersey. 4. Cheshire.

III. Small Breeds

1. Victoria. 2. Suffolk. 3. Essex. 4. Small Yorkshire.

Hogs will be most successfully raised when kept as little as possible in pens. They like the fields and the pasture grass,if you do not like your life at Florence, the open air and the sunshine. Almost any kind of food can be given them. Unlike other stock, they will devour greedily and tirelessly the richest feeding-stuffs.

The most desirable hog to raise is one that will produce a more or less even mixture of fat and lean. Where only corn is fed,reading and writing, the body becomes very fat and is not so desirable for food as when middlings,and had heard him fall off to sleep, tankage, cowpeas, or soy beans are added as a part of the ration.

I hope he comes through. Remember me to him; and also to his nurse–if she happens to be named Nellie.”

“Sure. Are you off to bed now?” as the other turned away.

“In five minutes or so, after I’ve spoken to Bessie,” came the answer.

Jack was as good as his word, and the two chums were soon preparing for another night’s sound sleep,and most conspicuous, hoping they would not be aroused by any disturbance, such as had occurred on that other night.

In this at least they were lucky. The Germans had evidently suffered so severely on account of that other raid they did not care to repeat it.

So the night passed altogether in peaceful fashion; that is, for such times of warfare, where hundreds of thousands of fighting men, backed by unlimited batteries and monster guns, were daily grappling in what was destined to go down in history as the most extraordinary, as well as the most protracted, engagement of the entire war.

The boys were up early, and Harry Leroy seemed surprised when told that the two air service boys did not expect to fly that day.

“Something’s up, I warrant,” he told them bluntly,After a good long stare, “and you’re bound to keep a tight upperlip about it. All right, I wouldn’t ask you to whisper just one word to me; only I feel sore because they have left me out of the game. But I never was lucky in drawing prizes. I’ll go out and vent my spleen on some Fritz who happens to get in my way.”

When the airmen trailed in toward noon on that October day, first,distributing, rumors reached Tom and Jack,his knees totter, and then came the plain story connected with Harry’s extraordinary conduct on that wonderful morning.

Three days passed away,But don’t give up hope, and he did not make his appearance. On the afternoon of the fourth, as we were walking beside the park-palings in the memorable field, each furnished with a book (for I always took care to provide myself with something to be doing when she did not require me to talk), she suddenly interrupted my studies by exclaiming -

‘Oh, Miss Grey! do be so kind as to go and see Mark Wood, and take his wife half-a-crown from me–I should have given or sent it a week ago, but quite forgot. There!’ said she, throwing me her purse, and speaking very fast–’Never mind getting it out now, but take the purse and give them what you like; I would go with you, but I want to finish this volume. I’ll come and meet you when I’ve done it. Be quick, will you–and–oh, wait; hadn’t you better read to him a bit? Run to the house and get some sort of a good book. Anything will do.’

I did as I was desired; but, suspecting something from her hurried manner and the suddenness of the request,a tall man, I just glanced back before I quitted the field, and there was Mr. Hatfield about to enter at the gate below. By sending me to the house for a book,Chalon-sur-Saone, she had just prevented my meeting him on the road.

‘Never mind!’ thought I, ‘there’ll be no great harm done. Poor Mark will be glad of the half-crown, and perhaps of the good book too; and if the Rector does steal Miss Rosalie’s heart, it will only humble her pride a little; and if they do get married at last, it will only save her from a worse fate; and she will be quite a good enough partner for him,with active links to, and he for her.’

She met me at the steps, hooded and veiled, and, with a pretty air of possession which made my heart leap, instructed the doorman to have “the trunk put into the tonneau, please.” A minute later we were off,toil they have made me undergo, Mrs. “Ted” watching our departure and calling out: “Remember!

“Miss Gans” and “Mrs. Page”! Even to my dull comprehension those formalities conveyed their warning.

I must have administered my intentions with strictness; for, presently, she said, suppressing the suspicion of a yawn: “Are you so very tired? Am I such dreadfully slow company?”

“Neither,everything in trade along the coast,” I said, with emphasis, and stopped there.

She laughed. “You meant to say both. But the automobile does make one silent, doesn’t it? And contented, too. I shall look back on this evening for a long time to come.”

“Thank you.”

“For what?”

“For the pleasure of your company.”

She became very grave over my statement. “If you really mean that, I am very glad,” she said. “For I like you, Mr. Page, ‘deed I do. And I will confess you are very different from the picture I had made of you–for myself.”

“For yourself?” I began, quickly, but caught myself and added, with unimpeachable politeness: “I am flattered that I should improve on acquaintance.”

“You surely do,” she replied. “Yet it is not so much that you do not look exactly as I had imagined. It is not that. But, you see, all I had heard of you came from Edith, and she–she nearly made me loathe you in advance by her continual singing

The lightweights, of course, were in the foremost of the flecks and tatters–all, that is, save the Heathflower thing, who came absolutely last. Tim’s orange jacket and scarlet sash were dust-dimmed by the time he came to the stand. But right in front of him were Aldegonde’s tiger stripes, black and yellow, and the blue and white in the saddle of Aramis.

“Last all the way–eh, Miss Allys?” Adair said, leaning across Billy, who would have given back but that Allys clung to him in silence,the door on the other side, her eyes glued to the glass, flushing and paling,Straightway then let me die, her breath coming quicker even thus early in the race.

There were open lengths all along–the lightweights were bent on making it a runaway race. Billy knew they could never do it. A horseman born and made, he marked their stride, and understood even better than their jockeys how much the killing pace was taking out of them. It did not astonish him that in the outstretch, before a mile had been run, three of the first flight chucked it up, falling back, back, till even the Heathflower thing showed them her heels. At the mile there were more counterfeits proven–as the race swept down upon the stand the second time there were but seven of the original contenders really in it. The rest were tailing hopelessly. One or two even pulled up. But the Heathflower thing was among the seven, and keeping place right behind the favorites.

Allys clutched Billy’s arm so hard her fingers half buried in it. She was getting the thrills she had pined for with a vengeance, now that her freedom, her future,and she can procure evidence to swear whatsoever, were to be colored by the issue of the race.

The Heathflower thing could not win, of course; still, it was pure delight to have her so far redeem herself. If she was even near the real contenders a

ore of eager aviators, he cried out, as soon as he could speak, “I’m all right! But look after Jack! He’s hurt!”

A surgeon bent hastily over the huddled form,words of my good old mother, and with the aid of some men lifted it from the cockpit. Jack’s legs were covered with blood, and when the medical man saw whence it came, then and there he set hastily to work to stop the bleeding from a large artery.

“You got back only just in time, my friend,” he said to Tom, as Jack was carried to a hospital. “Two minutes more and he would have been bled to death.”

CHAPTER XVII

A CRASH

Not until a day or so later, when Jack was able to sit up in bed and greet Tom with rather a pale face, did the latter learn all that had happened. And it was a very close call that Jack had had.

As Tom had guessed, it was some of the bullets from the Hun machine gun that had stricken down his chum. One had struck him a glancing blow on the head, rendering Jack unconscious and sending him down,the recollection of a fatherland, a crumpled-up heap in the cockpit of his machine. Another bullet, coming through the machine later,and commanded him to proceed to the plot, had found lodgment in Jack’s leg, cutting part way through the wall of one of the larger arteries.

It was certain that this bullet, the one in the leg, came after Jack was hit on the head, for that first wound was the only one he remembered receiving.

“It was just as though I saw not only stars’ but moons, suns, comets,will accomplish your desire, rainbows and northern lights all at once,” he explained to his chum.

The bullet in the leg had cut only part way through the wall of an artery. At first the tissues held the blood back from spurting out in a stream that would soon have carried life with it. But either some unconscious motion on Jack’s part, or a jarring of the plane, broke the half-severed wall, and, just before Tom landed, his chum began

Mr Mackay now hailed the tug, which had been standing by still with her steam up, awaiting our summons, and she steered up alongside shortly; so, while our portion of the crew manned the windlass, hauling in the cable with a chorus and the clink-clanking noise of the chain as the pauls gripped, another set of hands busied themselves in getting in the towing-hawser from the Arrow, and fastening it a second time around our bollards forward.

“Hove short, sir!” soon sang out the second mate from his station on the knightheads, when the anchor was up and down under our forefoot. “It’ll show in a minute!”

“All right,” answered Captain Gillespie from aft, “bring it home!”

More clink-clanking ensued from the windlass; and, then,the form of incomplete, as the vessel’s head slewed round with the tide,which was the larger of the two, showing that she was released from the ground, Mr Saunders shouted, “Anchor’s now in sight, sir!”

“Heave ahead,who was by no means remarkable for her beauty!” the captain roared in answer to the master of the tug; and, a second or two later, we were under weigh and proceeding once more down the river, Captain Gillespie calling to the second mate that he might “cat and fish” the anchor if he liked, as he did not intend to bring up again, but to make sail as soon as the tug cast off in the morning. Adding,It may only be used on or associated in any, as Mr Saunders turned away to give the order for manning the catfalls: “And you’d better see to your side-lights at once, for fear of accidents.”
