and with every sign of wealth and
luxury around. And two people sit
and in low tones a man and
woman.
The man, looking many years older
than when we saw him last, though
only two years have actually passed,
whose brOnZed face wears an anxious
and serious expression, is Paul Gle
land; and the woman. whose dark.
rich beauty, soft liquid eyes and ex-
quisitely nodded figure, gowned in
some CONNECTION" from Paris, have
already won for her a conspicuous
place in the European society of Cairo,
is the widow of wealthy government
official, and has, since her husbands
death, lived with her brother, Colonel
Beauchamp, one of the most gallant
officers who had gone through the ter
rible campaign of 1885.
A soft-fOoted native servant had
! just brought in the afternoon cup of
! tea, retiring as silently as he had en-
! tered: and the two were too deeply en-
| crossed in conversation even to notice
that.
Il trust matters may not be so bad
as the Colonel makes out, Mrs. Breyn-
ton," Paul Cleland was saying. These
turbulent Arabs seem to require a lit
tie blood-letting now and then; but
they are no match for European SOL
diery. The affair cannot be more
than mere skirmish at most"
Adrienne Breynton's soft eyes met
Cleland's face for a moment, and then
suddenly dropped.

wish as l do" she said, and her voice
was one of the sweetest ever woman
possessed. There is nothing in all

heard how his wife, beautiful and

seemed to him that any further plead
ing with Margaret would be like beat
ing against the rock. A little CULVER

heard it, and turned quickly.
You will relent, Margaret? Tell
me there is some hope!"
She shook her head.
There is none, Paul-we must part.

each other!"

land, after a moments pause. Il can
leave GreyStoke at once, and in a
short time l shall be far enough from
England. Do you care to hear where

She bowed, making no answer.
Il am going to Egypt. | have had
an offer made me, and | was only
doubtful as to what my answer should
be until | saw you; but now my mind
is quite made up. l shall probably
sail in fortnight or So"
A stiied exclamation came to Mar
garet's lips; but she checked it, and
the next moment turned to him, her
face as pale as ever but quite calm.
Il can only wish you every success
and-and happiness in your new life"
she said, and laid her hand, cold and
trembling as it was, in his. And,
after all, what happiness is better and
deeper than that which comes to us
from our work? If we can help to
allay suffering, and to bring back
health to others, surely we can ask
no greater joy on earth? Doctor Gle
land, | wish you that happiness with
all my heart"
Thank YOU" he said, little husk-
lily Il do not think | shall be able to
call myself happy, Margaret have
not reached such a height of self
abnegatiCu yet; but as the great apoS-
tie of work says, Thou canst do with
out happiness, and instead thereof find
blessedness, | suppose that is what
you mean. Well, shall we say good
by now? We may not have another
chance"
Margaret looked at him. 1t was a
look he was to remember for very
long afterwards. In it he read all the
deep love of her wOman's soul for one
moment, without veil or reserve, barred
before him. Her hand still lay in his.
He drew her little nearer, and his

For Heavens sake, Margaret, think
once more what you are doing! Do
not part us for the sake of an imag-
mary barrier; do not sacrifice us both
for anOther's SINS 1t is not too late
yet to say the word that will change
our whole future lives"
He felt her hand culver; but she
answered steadily:
Paul, this is the only thing left for
us to do-to part. There is no other
way-none. Good-by."
"Good-by," said Paul, hoarsely.
Then, after a pause, still holding her
hand, he said: Margaret. it is the
last time perhaps that l shall ever
speak to you alone on earth. Will you
kiss me once, because of what might
have BEEN"
And in the tenderness of that mo-
ment-a tenderness that for the time
seemed to blot out all her own agony
and weakness-Margaret raised her
pale, pure face and kissed him with a
kiss that held parting and grief and
death in it,

Breeding for Wool.

Bulletin 17S of the Michigan Expert
ment Station says: The present ten
dency OF the wool market points to
a continued active demand for fine
grades of wool which the Merino alone
produces. Michigan has long since
proven her adaptability to the MerIno.
The Merino was brought to Michigan
probably as early at 1928, and from
that time until the beginning of the
depression in the wool industry the
Michigan Merino was well and favor
ably known all over the world. The
successful breeding of Merino sheep is
therefore assured; and II the adapt
ability of the Merino to Michigan's
conditions is proven, and no one will
deny it, then successful wool growing
in Michigan cannot be questioned. We
speak Of the Merino. more particular

shadow of doubt that the day of the

an end in Paris and the same may be
said of the scorching cyclist. The

recklessness has led the police to
cut down to eight kilometers. which
is only a shade over five miles an

Where Do the Weeds Come From

A press bulletin of the Vermont FIX
pertinent station says: One field on
the experiment station farm has been
moved continuously for some twen-
ty years. They were, of course, many
weeds upon it, but no kale. 1t was
plowed and seeded with clean oats,
but early in July one would have
thought at first sight that it had been
sown with pure kale seed instead.
Where does the kale come from? This
question is often asked by the farmer
when perplexed by developments SIM
liar to the above. Such experiences
as these have made many believe in
spontaneous generation" at least as
concerns weeds.
But when asked to explain 1t our
experiment station botanist shakes
the head and says that every kale
plant grows from a kale seed. No
seed, no plant. Seeds of many plants
may lie dormant in the ground for
years-especially if buried rather
deeply. DR.. Beal of the Michigan ex-
pertinent station has made an inter-
est1ng test of the matter. In 1879 he
mixed seeds of various kinds in damp
sand, placed the mixture in bottles
and buried the bottles twenty inches
beneath the surface in sandy SOIL At
the end OF five years, at the end of ten
years, at the end of fifteen years, and
finally in 1899 at the end of twenty
years he dug up some of these bottles
and tested the viability of the seeds.
Or the twenty-five kinds of seed bur-
led, eleven, or just one-half, failed to
grow.
Some of the others terminated as
follows: black mustard Is per cent,
peppergrass AZ per cent, shepherds
purse AZ per cent, purslane IA per cent,
mullen 81 per cent. No true kale
seed was used in the experiment, but
the black mustard is so closely relat-
ed that it probably represents what
Will occur with k2le. The eradication
OF kale hinges then upon destroying it
before it seeds. This is easily done
III hoed crops, of course, but how can
II be done in grain fields other than
by hand pulling. Recent trials in Eu-
rope suggest that It is possible to de-
stroy kale and similar weeds by spray
ing the field with a solution of blue
Vitriol Copper sulphate) in water
which may be so weak as not to in
jure the grain. The tests have been
repeated at some of the experiment
stations in this country and it has
been found that solutions of from l
to per cent Il pound in to IL gall
lons) may be used and If applied as a
fine spray 40 gallons to an acre will
destroy the kale, with little or no in
jury to the grain, The spraying should
be done when the plants are young
While its practicability is not fully es-
tablished it is at least worthy of furth-
er trial.

A Place for the Goat.

On a good many of our farms there
is place for the goat. Sheep will
eat large number of weeds and are
very serviceable in that regard, but
the goat carries the same idea to a rar
greater length. Sheep are grazers pri-
marily and browsers incidentally. But
goats and browsers by nature. They
will live and flourish where even a
sheep will grow thin. Kinds OF feed
that would send the sheep into the
sick list will support the goat and
make him fat. A writer on goats says
that they will pass by cultivated
grasses to get at burdocks, mullen
and thistles. The bushes that are con-
stantly springing up on our waste hill
sides might be kept down by goats.
There is no doubt that million or so
of goats could be distributed among
our farms without in anyway inter-
fering with the stock now being kept

do not allow large profits. Mr.. Major tells
US that one of the elements of his cement

Majors cement retails AT fifteen cents and

upon it that that his only object is TO make
large profit.
The profit on Majors cement is as much
as any dealer ought to make on any cement

Right to a Seat

An important decision on passen-
gers right to sit in a railroad car has
just been given by New York court.
Suit was brought by a passenger
against the New York Central rail-
road for being deprived of his seat in
a car. The question involved was
whether man when he puts his valise
or any hand baggage into a seat
thereby reserves it for his own occu-
pancy and is legally and morally en-
titled to it.
The court decided that when pass
enger buys ticket he presumes that
he is to get seat and unless there is
some unusual condition he is legally
entitled to one. If he enters an ordi-
nary coach where no seats are re-
served and there are no train men to
usher him to a seat it is the custom
of railway companies to allow the
passenger to choose his own seat.
This practically amounts to a regula-
ton of the company. Therefore the
court ruled II person occupied
seat and then for any reason left it
without in some way marking it as
reserved bv himself and returned to
find it occupied by another passenger
he has no right to ask that passenger
to give up his seat. Ii however, he
leaves his cane, mbrella or handbag
in his seat when he goes to the plat
form to buy paper or for any pur-
pose and finds his baggage moved and
the seat occupied by another he has
legal and moral right to that seat.
The court further held that a pass
enger was entitled to but one seat and
could not reserve one seat in an ordi-
nary coach while holding another in
a smoking car.
