-Trotting horse breeders are rapidly

Economy does not necessarily
mean buying the largest animal that

one that is of the right blood and the
right build, and that will give the
greatest return for the feed consumed.
Our farmers are beginning to

from cutting their fodder. 1t is not
only a great saving IL making the feed
go farther, but the fodder is more cas-

ing the purity of her cheek, and he
did not answer.
So in the Traeys' little home, made
so desolate BY Elizabeth's fitting. the
invitation never came. Six months after
Elizabeth's departure, old Ephraim
Tracy came slowly home. 1t was
evening, and already the first breath
of spring could be detected in the
soft air. He sat heavily down upon
the little back porch looking more
bowed than ever and his faded eyes
were infinitely weary.
Lizzie don't say nothin' about our
visit, mother" he began.
Mrs. Tracy was busy getting sup
per, but she came out and sat down by
him, taking his hand tenderly between
her own.
Don't you see through it, Eph-
raim?' said she, gently, avoiding the
Wistfulness of the troubled eyes. 1--WE

many weeks the playhouse was de-

"Where's Lizzie, mother?" he would
ask. 81 believe she's dead"
And his mother, hastily wiping her
eye with a corner of her apron, would
always answer:
"Dead-yes, she is to us, Juddie,"
And Jud would sigh, and the sun
shining on the bits of broken glass
failed to comfort him.
1t had been seven years now since
Elizabeth's wedding day. Only rarely
did she visit home, and even then the
visits were not satisfactory. Elizabeth
knew, and they knew. Old Ephraim
Tracy never went to the store when
Lizzie came home; he would sit in his
armchair and watch his beautiful
daughter with adoring eyes, Once he
came up and took the slender white
hand, sparkling with rings, into his old
knotted ones.
"Only to think of Tracy having
rings like that" he said, exultantly.
But Elizabeth suddenly burst into
tears.
I'D give them all, father, if only
YOU and mother could be with me-"
she said.
The old man only pooh-poohed at
this. but it was noticed that he disap-
peared quickly. and some minutes aft
erwards they found him crying softly
in the woodshed. Yet he never seemed
to harbor any ill-will toward his SON
in-law, but was proud of him in his
quiet, unobtrusive way.
81 would like to see Lizzie's house, "
he said one day, looking across the
same purple hills. "But mebbe It's all

faults. was not stingy, and the GER
tain. generous checks that came from
his hand to the Tracy family began to
have their effect.
The term of shiftlessness that had
been applied to Ephraim for so many
years gradually lifted, and certain
air cf prosperity began to pervade
the hitherto bare little dwelling. But
the cup had its bitter drop, you may
be sure. for the Tracys never forgot
that the giyer of it all despised them in
his heart. and they would gladly have
returned tc the pinch of poverty
again. could they but have had their

But his mother had answered him so
sharply, Jud had gone away to his lit

November with its short days passed
rapidly away, until it lacked but two
weeks till Thanksgiving.
Ephraim Tracy came home one
night bearing a live turkey.

his wife, as she came out to investigate
the mufiled gobble, "what did you get
