cleared OH and the Indications are 1t will
be by far the wort storm Of the whole

up TO Thursday night, when it changed
into rain and since las rained or showed
nearly all the time. FULLY fifteen inches
of snow fell and this was saturated with
water by the rain, which has made II
very hard to handle. The Maine Central
railroad has kept the snow pillow running
all the time fer the past twenty -four hours
and the lines out OF this city are all clear,
although there was q considerable delay
ON the Skowhsgan branch this morning
by a snow pillow becoming derailed a few
miles west of Skowhegan. The country
roads are all In very bad shape and just
about impossible. Many people from out
Of the city who have been in today have
come on snow shoes. as the roads were SO
bad that teams could not pass over them.
Unless the storm SOON stops the ice will
leave the kennebec river.

Here Ia u story told without saying
whether II IL fact or fiction; Hawkins
was ari eccentric old man. and In his
will IL was found that he had made his
youngest son, Henry, his sole heir, on
condition that he should marry within
two years. II was surprise to the
community, as Henry was worthless
fellow and rarely on friendly terms
with his father. Henry at once be-
came the topic OF conversation. Ev-
erybody was wondering what mystery
would develop from such an odd be-
ginning, and there were dozens OF
stories afioat to the effect that Haw-
king was a miser and had left bundles
of money hidden in odd corners of his
rickety old shanty that had become
the sole property Of his son. Henry's
name soon drifted into the papers all
over the country. As a result. bush
els OF letters from manageable wom-
en- and wlld-visioned girls came to him
in the form of proposals. On the last
day of the allotted two years Henry
Hawkins and Belinda Scenes stood in
the registry Office, where it was ar
ranged the ceremony should be per-
formed quietly. IF I could only feel

worn-Out Grass Fields.

II does not pay to keep fields in grass
long after they have ceased to be
profitable. One has but to ride through
almost any part of our country in June,
even in the good years for grass to see
some meadows that utterly fail to pro-
duce the crops they should. If the
meadows could make themselves IN
derstood they would tell us that they
have been run down by constant crop
ping without putting anything back.
and have been also further sinned
against by being trodden hard by
horses, sheep and cattle. With half
way proper care and treatment from
year to year such lands would still
be giving good results.
AS soon as meadow begins to run
out it begins to get weedy. 1t is then
of little use to try to recover the form
er conditions by manuring. 1t is far
easier to pillow the ground and put it
into some crop that will require work
ing of the ground. In some localities
such meadows are turned over and re-
seeded at once with grass seed, but
this requires good deal of work VITA

Sowing Grass seed with Grain.


The sowing of grass seed with grain
Is an old practice that still survives.
Ii has some things in It's favor, and
some things against It, 1t used to be
thought that the grain helped the grass
seed to- catch" and that the young
grass was helped by the protection It
received from the grain. This. how
ever, Is not regarded as reason to be
given consideration In the growing OF
a grass crop. So far GB best growth Ii
concerned there is little doubt that the
grass that ID given the entire field will
do the best. 1t will get the sunlight
and moisture from the first and will
make far better growth than when
6warfed and shaded by grain.
The only point to receive attention
should be that OF economy. Which ID

Day sat silent. her sweet eyes cloud
ed and her lips dropping. Somehow
she had felt aware OF what Monteith
now uttered since he had come to ABB
bots Head. Magnus was kind and
hospitable TO him, as he could not help
being to any one under his roof; but
there was a want OF cordially in his
manner which showed that some In
tangible, invisible barrier existed be-
tween him and his guest.
That barrier was suspicion. How
little root It needs to grow this fatal
plant, deadly as upas-tree to every
feeling of kindness and friendship!
Magnus hardly knew when 1t had
sprung up In his heart: but there 1t
was, and he could not drive it out. -
DO not look so sad, Miss Day" said
Evan presently, in low voice. us 1t

He bent little nearer to her; his
hand almost touched hers. A thrill,
the passion and joy Of which were like
ten thousand little shafts Of fame,
ran through Day. She held her face
low for fear he should see the look Of
love melting in her eyes.
Then suddenly step sounded out
side, the low murmur Of voices. Evan
sprang erect, and his hand fell from
Days.
The door opened and Magnus en-
tered; but he was not alone. Day rose
quickly as she caught glimpse OF the
figure of Lilith Stuart that followed his
