When he was left alone. he covered
his face with his hands and groaned.
Where were his prospects now? What
had become of all his fine plans for inn
provement? When would Emma ever
become his wife?
These and other things connected with
tho modification Of having it known
that his expectations had been disap-
pointed caused him to feel miserable.
Tho Gl, 900. which was surely his, sank
into paltry insigniticance beside the
loss Of farm worth G400 an acre--and
all lost through his own laziness. He
could not blame his grandfather, for he
knew he deserved the lesson.
There he sat miserably thinking until
twilight had closed in, and he was sum
moned to the evening meal; but he
could not cat. and resumed his place by
the fire, wishing and not wishing he
might see Emma Willis.
So, when her face appeared behind
that Of Mr., and Mrs. Hall, he sprang to
meet her with moro joy than he had felt
for years, They had come to offer their
sympathy and advice to Jim, who was
in an excellent frame Of mind to receive

to him, no resolved to conquer his dis

he bought small place and worked

He was 80 successful that his fame as
farmer spread abroad, and many APP
plications for advice and consultation
did he receive. The old farmers said
there was no use competing with him ut
their county exhibitions, for he regular

wife, now rosy, cheerful matron, made
the best butter and cheese In the county.
His farm was growing too small foi
his extended operations, and he was ne
gOtiating for the purchase of more land,
when his uncle William was killed by
