A very short-sighted old gentleman
going into one of our large towns for
the first time, and coming from the
heart of the country, seeing man dig

My man, for whom biggest thou
this long and narrow grave?"
But the man took no notice Going
closer he remarked again to the man
who was digging:

The man looked up and said:

r.rt,la Land. OF Colorado.

The traveller who visits Colorado for the
nrst time Is surprised and impressed with
the opportunities the state affords in agri-
cultural pursuits. Tho mineral wealth OF
the state, with its many famous mines,
seems to have become fixed In the minds or
strangers crowding out all knowledge OF
her wonderfully fertile soil. Little thought
is ever givea to the $4,000 miles Of irrigs-
CATION canals that have been constructed,
and the 2, 900, 900 acres OF land which have
thus far been made productive. Yet, out
out Of 81 exhibits from Colorado at the
worlds fair. eighty-one special premiums
were awarded, covering all kinds OF fruit
and produce. The wheat exhibit attracted
wide attention, and twenty-five awards
were given it alone, the largest number
received by any one state in the Union.
The fruit industry has reached $4,O0O,OOO q
year and is yet in It's infancy. Sugar beet
culture is profitable industry. The min
oral wealth Of the state, which leads all
other states in the Union In the output OF
gold and silver does not compare with her
agricultural wealth A handsome and pro-
iusely illustrated pamphlet, entitled The
Fertile Lands of Colorado" has just been

the end of his life, although riveted
to his armchair, Daudet gave the best

passion for justice and humility, and

CHAPTER XIV.

And so, as he grew in years, drink
ing became a confirmed habit in him.
By-andby he found it was almost
necessity. Until he had stimulated him
self for the day he was wretched and
almost incapable of attending to his
duties. By night he was generally in
toxicated; and on such a night, while
sleeping off the fumes of his intern
pei dnce, he had fallen a victim TO that
horrible accusation.
The noise of the men in the huts
had ceased A great stiffness seemed
to have set in, and the very silence
reused Luke to the fact that he had
yet to go to bed.
Having piled more wood upon the
| fire, he proceeded to make himself COM
Portable for the night. Upon the
wooden bunk or bedstead, which had
been made with rough planks and up
rights driven into the earth, there was
an ample supply Of dry fern and heath
er which had served as a mattress for
the previous occupants of the hut. This
| Luke had proceeded to shake up, so
as to render it more comfortable, for
it was hard and closely pressed from
being in use for some time.
In doing so, he suddenly started
back. What was that at the head OF
the bed? A snake?
Selling a stick, he advanced care
fully, holding the candle in his left
hand. No, it was no snake. 1t was a
piece of leather-a broken t-belt
Taking 1t up, he carefully examined it;
and upon the inside, he beheld, plainly
marked in ink" r. L." the initials Of
his brother.

then do they not have certain advan-

corning these things begins and ends
in carrying the unwelcome documents

it signify to them whether Goals are

rest with a tranquil mind, undisturbed
by visions of blue slips of paper threat

due to her Majesty's government, are
paid before particular date. Not only
is a servant a perfectly irresponsible
person, so far as all such matters are
concerned, but he can exact as much
civility from his employer for the time
being as his employer can from him.
These thoughts flowed through
Luke's mind as he gazed into the blaz-
ing log-fire, and they caused him to
wonder at his own folly at not having
had the sense to know when he was
we'll and comfortably provided for.
At last, rousing himself from his
reverie with shrug of the shoulders,
he threw another log or two upon the
fire. Then he pulled out his watch.
Only half-past nine! How slowly the

noise Of voices and laughter down in
