A Hundred Square Mile, of Corn.

Speaking of large corn crops and fertile

miles wide-just 100 square miles in ali
1t is a fair sample of some Of the fine corn

river bottoms. In this particular tract
there are "a, 600 acres, and it is estimated
by competent judges that each acre will
produce 60 bushels. Sixty four thousand
acres at 60 bushels to the acre amounts to
3,S40, 600 bushels. At 40 ears to the bush

ally deficient in strategy. The only
scheme he could devise. after cogitation
SO fervent as to be akin to prayer. was
to make his society 50 agreeable to Mrs.
Lynde that she would not care for
Chase's. This design would bear the
severest test OF reason. He argued
somewhat thus: "a good woman nat
urally prefers good man; 1 am a much
better man than Chase-blast him,
Therefore Mrs. Lynde will prefer me
to him, II l give her fair chance"
Like many another syllogism, this
one was all sound but the major prem
Use. He passed over that very lightly
and proceeded at once to the conclus-
ion. He had tried diligently to give
Mrs Lynde chance. Meanwhile he
struggled manfully with his character
IN order to make the difference be-
tween himself and Chase more conspic-
uous. He studied high ideals and
talked about them feelinglv in her pres
ence. Yet it grieved him to suspect
land he was right about it, that his
chief hold on her regard was in her adj
miration for him as a tennis PLAYER.
Carroll cherished the hope that Chase
would not follow Mrs. Lynde to Cros-
cent Beach. He know that Chase's in
terests bound him tightly to Wall
street just at that time. As for him
self, he had four hundred dollars in
bank as the remnant of little legacy
that had suficed for his needs at col
lege, and he should have been earning
his living, but he solemnly devoted the
four hundred dollars to the good cause,
and faced the price of board at Cres-
cent Beach without murmur.
If he had been sure that Chase would
stay away, he would have been con-
tent to do SO; but there was doubt in
his mind. And it was well founded,
for on the second day Chase appeared.
Mrs. Lynde CHANGED to be passing

AN INSTRUCTIVE EPISODE.

AN INSTRUCTIVE EPISODE.
Under the influence of strong emo
hion even very ordinary fellow like
Walter Carroll can talk well. He is al
ways at the disadvantage in comparison
With such man as Chase that he has
not studied his story in advance and
has probably rehearsed it with not
| more than one OF two other women.
Yet, if his heart is right, he can get
along fairly.
Carroll threw conventionality to the
winds, and he talked the queens Eng
fish to Amy Lynde till She believed him
in spite Of the fact that he was telling
the truth. He painted portrait of
Chase that would not have fattered
him even as he looked at that moment,
crawling out of the Eater-in evening
dress, by the way-a quarter of mile
up the beach.
The upshot Of 1t WINS that Mrs Lynde
became very angry with Carroll, and
assured him that he baselcssly ma
hgned her character and totally mis-
construed her motives. But since he
was determined to make trouble, and
see scandal in a perfectly innocent
frlendship-whenh ne himself had perse-
cuted her with his attentions most
shamefully-why, such being the case,
she would leave Crescent Beach next
day, which was just what Carroll
wanted her TO do.
In her heart, though she did not for,
give Carroll, she bitterly accused her
self. She was also quite severe upon
Chase, whose cowardly disappearance
from the appointed place she was una
bic to understand--for OF course Car
roll did not tell her that he had thrown
the fellow overheard.
Alone in her room, she re-read her
husbands letters. He had written at
first in good spirits. The "cold-blood-
ed German scientist" had seemed to
throw the first light upon the mystery
Of his illness. Then came letter in
which Arthur wrote that the treatment
had failed; it might succeed in prolong-
ing his existence, but he would be only
a cripple at the best. After that there
were no illusions to his health. He
wrote only of her. She had failed to I'M
derstand what he had said. AT one time
he seemed to be covertly urging her to
the very course which she felt to be
dangerous; again he pleaded for her
love, though he had only soul with
which to love her. On the whole, he
had not strengthened his case with
these letters. She did not comprehend
the language of suffering, having never
suffered greatly, either in body or
mind. After reading the letters she
felt strong Discrimination to return to
b. husband. She kneY that she could

through the hall Of the hotel where
Mrs. Mason's party was domiciled, at
the moment when Chase inscribed his
name in the register, and at the sight
Of him she grasped Mrs. Masons arm in
a manner which betrayed to that ex-
perienced matron the exact state OF af-
fairs.
To Chase, looking out of the corner
of his eye, the gesture was q welcome
sign. He came forward to greet the
ladies with as plausible lie upon his
lips as ever the recording angel charged
against d sinner. The rascal at that
moment felt triumphant, and nothing
was ever more becoming to him. Mrs.
Lynde was forced to contrast him IA
vorably with the other men at Cres-
cent Beach. He was SO dcferential.
yet SO masterful. He always knew
just what to say and do. There was
absolutely nothing in his manner or bis
speech or his attire that could offend.
He had studied her tastes to such a
nicely that of two synonymous words
in the language he always used the one
which she liked best. 1t was a point in
the game, and he played with mas
ter's attention to detail.
From that time on the condition Of
Walter Carroll must have been o sub
ject of pity among the angels lie con-
tinually made mistakes and Chase
made none. His plans failed and
Chases always succeeded. His mo-
tives were misconstrued, and so were
Chasc's-to the advantage of the latter
and the undoing of the former. Mrs
Lynde began to believe that he was
pursuing her; and as he was such q
boy-being not more than year older
than herself-she took him frankly to
task about it. She told him that his
conduct was foolish, not to say dis
honorable, and took occasion to men
ton the fact that Dr. Lynde had been
good friend to the youth. Then,
while Carroll went away to mediate
upon suicide, Mrs. Lynde took a stroll
with Chase on the long pier, and with
uniisguised admiration heard him ex-
pound his well-worn theory of Platonic
| friendship. All, Chase was q noble
soul, until one knew him.
This was only an incident. There

Chase's wheel always slipped an adjust
ment precisely at the right time, and
nobody was ever near to help him but
Mrs. Lynde. Many a chat they had
under a tree by the roadside, waiting
for chaperone to climb a long hill.
The situation was becoming desper-
ate. 1t was beginning to alarm Mrs.
Mason, who had been to Narragansett
Pier in the old days, and couldn't be
easily frightened. There is more hyp-
notism in the world than most people
know of; and Mrs. Lynde was under
an influence which she did not under
stand. Chase was deliberately com
promising her, and she could not see it.
AS for him, he had never played his
favorite game so desperately. He knew
that the odds were against him, and he
