try to crack his new acquisition with

his manner was indiscribable. He
threw away a cocoanut as being too

great satisfaction, and presently dis.
covered a small cask, which he endeav.

he enlarged the bunghole go that ho

cask on one arm and kept the other

standing erect on his hind feet, he in

up he reared and began growing and
waving his paws, but was speedy re-

broke the barrel with blow from his

Lissie was tenderly tying a bandagc
about the blistered hand and arm OF
one OF the men she had rescued when she
recognized in the blackened and swol-
len face the features OF Julius Conway.
His keen, gray eyes were following her
back and forth and the conscious
blood mantled her pale cheek.
"Are you John Deans girl2" he
asked.
"John Dean is my father, sir" she
replied, stepping back, showing the
woman in the pose. Then anxiously:
"Is he safer" In the sudden recollec-
tion she entreatingly laid her hand up
on Mr.. Conway's shoulder.
"Yes, he is all right, for sent him
up for more buckets and took his
place in the line"
Lissie went on with the bandages
and when she had pinned the last fold
her patient rose to look out OF the win

They entered the boat and the wom-

boat grated in the sands back OF John
Deans cottage.

Strange girl! Julius Conway slipped
his tea and ate his toast, peeping
over the edge OF bis cup at the woman
who quietly set the things before him.

Lissie, just in the act OF entering the
kitchen, turned and stood inthedoor-
way, looking her questioner squarely
in the face.
"Why"
"You may if you wish" The cup
ratified little in the saucer as it was
taken out to be refilled.

WHY BICYCLES ARE COSTLY.

interchangeable Principle.

They Arc Made with Great Cars on tho
interchangeable Principle.
Tho Iron Age explains why high
grade bicycle costs so much-why tho
price puts II out OF the reach OF tho
ordinary working man or woman. In
the first place the bicycle must be
made on tho interchangeable princi-
Pile so that missing or broken part
can be supplied by the factory at
once. All OF such parts undergo
rigid system OF inspection. being sub.
jected to tho severe strains which
they must stand while tho machine is
in use. Main parts like the sprocket
wheel, hubs bearings. etc. are
gagged the allowance for variation
being one-quarter OF thousandth.
A variation in excess OF this throws
tho piece out The method OF
.'stringing" tho wheel Is thus do
scribed: THE outer ends OF the
spokes are threaded in order
to enter the hardened brass
nipple. the cap OF which Is. OF
course. on tho outer side OF the
rim. The boy who strings the wheel
up merely tightens the nipples SUI
ficiently to hold the parts together.
After this the wheel goes to an expert
workman who tightens the spokes.
bringing them all under the desired
tension. The wheel Is then mounted
on the axle and turned piece of
chalk held near the rim serving to in
dictate any irregularlty. To correct
such defects and make the wheel per-
foctly true the nipples are frightened
or loosened. This is n simple matter.
and yet one requiring great judg-
ment" The brazing OF the joints
and the making OF the felloe or iron
to receive the rubber tire are also
operations requiring the greatest pre-
cision and delicacy OF handling. In
short there is no part OF the modern
bicycle that can BIO turned out with
out the closest attention to detail. The
day has not como when 1t can be
made factory fashion.

Do you sec that verdant meadow where

Where the gold-heartcd daisies twinkle

Where the cherry bloom Is scattered on

BY the playful south winds antics, where

To the red-tilcd ROOT and chimneys where
the green wisteria twines.
Pretty robin, there's maiden tall, and

And her tresses catch the sunbeams, though
she speaks and moves sedately.

The Strippings.

Farmer Ezekiel and his young

keeping on the farm that she should
pick out the best COW TO supply tho
family with milk and butter; that the
calf should run with the rest of the
COWS; that Ezekiel should milk the
COW aforesaid. and should on each
and every occasion milk and save the
strippings. his wife, Susanhah. stat
ing very clearly and implicitly that
while she had no objection to churn-
ing enough butter for Ezekiel herself
and occasional company. she de-
mande6 that the work OF churning
should be reduced 10 the minimum.

would fill 1t from the milk. Her
eagle eye caught him in tho act he
begged of by saying that this was his

tween the butter value OF the first

We have had our memory refreshed
as to this little incident by reading
the report OF the milking trials OF the
Essex Agricultural show in England

noticed that she held up part OF the

found TO contain only l.S5 per cent Of
butter.fat which disqualified her for
further competition. When her ner.

again and IL was found that her mink
showed 3.64 per cent Of butter-fat oI
noarly twice as much as when held
up from nervousness. The strippings
had evidently been held up from the
day before hence enriching the subse-
quent days milk. All this throws
light upon the great loss OF profit
that occurs when cows are roughly
treated or when an application OF q
deacon's boot or milking stool 10
applied at every slight offense.
Every time tho COW holds up her
milk there Is heavy loss to tho
farmer hence the necessity OF having
the same COW MIXED as far as pos
sible by the Same man and that man
