"Let me see," said the Balloon Man, looking at the Whitfet close- ly. "Did your shadow have a neck. { tle, and big pockets, and ears that stuck out?" "Yes, yes, yes!" said the Whiffet. "That's mine.

Presently the heat advanced, and with it tiny sharp sparks that stung the face and hands like buck-shot. But Caleb did not feel it. He had only one thought. to confine the fire to the neck of timber. He cursed himself for having permitted" Mar- tin to go to the- jubilee. With Mar- tin here the thing would be simple. He looked up and saw great bright flakes sailing through the air, ac- companied by darker flakes. He coughed and . sputtered from the smoke and once or twice the horse stumbled. But he would not yield, although the heat was becoming terrific. The horse would probably bolt----there was that danger. He must get the most of him before he became unmanageable. To and fro he plowed, across the whole end of the neck of timber. The roar from the north seemed to shake the sky and the earth. When Caleb had fin- ally. plowed the entire stretch be tween the two pieces of timber, the trees on the north were glowing just Dr. Hamilton's Pills Quickly. one a short distance inward from "the edge of the stubble he had turned up.' He whipped the horse and turn- ed him toward home. The exhausted animal used his last bit of strength in a gallop across the field 'toward the sheep pasture. Caleb ran after him to escape the intense heat. In the farm d he looked back. A single tree at the end of the bush south of the strip he had plowed was waving like a plume of five. His work had been all for nothing. He ran toward the house. There was only one thing to do. Plow a division through the flax and burn the part nearest the bush. From old habit, he lit the lantern, ignoring Amelia and Lind who were waiting in terror in the other room. When Caleb started across the fields southward, with a fresh horse, he saw that the fire had got well into the bush and was sweeping everything before it. Me drove the horse like a madman.

The earth under him became black and began to 'give beneath his feet like cushions. He ran on blindly, conscious only of the direction in which the flax field lay.
