CHAPTER VII

The rain came down heavily next morn
ing. but the day cleared after some hours,
and about eleven O'clock Godfrey and his
friend issued from their inn. As they
passed down the street they saw one
horse fly approaching them. Why, it's
the vicarr they cried, and they went
quickly forward, for Mr.. Beresford, hav-
ing caught sight of them, had put his
head out of the coach window and was
calling to the driver to stop.
Tn glad to see you, sirs; I'm glad TO
see you for a moment" he said, gravely,
as they came hastily up. I'm sorry to
say we're off most unexpectedly 10 Lon
don-Joanne and /. We have had tele-
gram with bad news this morning. My
poor sister, Mrs. Russell, has had a
stroke"
"Oh, dear-I am sorry to hear that"
cried Jack. sympatheticaHy, and Godfrey
said something, too, but he hardly knew
what. He felt all at once as if he had
had a blow,
The wears broad shoulders filed up
nearly all the window space as he leaned
out, but Godfrey could just catch sight
OF Joauue's face behind him, and. with
hardly more than the loss of a moment,
he left Jack talking to Mr.. Beresford,
and went to the other side Of the coach
and spoke TO her,
This is bad news, indeed. I don't
know how 90 tell YOU how sorry l am, Z"
he said, looking into her face with eyes
that were eloquent enough TO make her
color come.
YES, / was sure you would be sorry, =
she said and then with 4 monetary hes
itation sav added: Il was wondering
whether We should chance TO see you.

(which is your train?" he asked sud

watch. "Oh, then, yeu are in very good
at the station, Mr.. Beresford," he called,
raising his voice. 1--WE viii get 10 the sta
ton and see you again there. Come on,
Jack" And, waiting FOR no response,
off he started down the street, With Jack
soon overtaking him, at pace that made
the few passers,ay turn round and stare,
The had less than quarter Of mile

barely stepped from their fy before the
two friends were at their side,
That is quick work" said Mr.. Beres-
ford, with a smile.
Godfrey took Joanne's bag and cloak
out Of her hands, and they all went to-
gether TO the platform. The train was
not due for some minutes vet.
Il must get our tickets, said the vicar
'Let me set them for you" interposed
Jack, and they went to the booking Office
together.
And then Godfrey, left alone with Jo-
anne. looked in her face. And 50 this is
the endr he abruptly said.

Patchwork Farming

have in mind farm where there
is one wide sweep of grain, not even
fence, only tiny strip of ground left
implanted, to separate the wheat from
the rye. One large field contains the
corn crop. OF course, there are fields
for potatoes and for any other yegeta-
BILE that is raised in quantity, but there
are not half dozen patches. This is
economy. There are no fences to oc
cupy room and to be kept in order;
there is not so much time spent in go
ing from one field to another, and the
conditions are of some value as to the
general appearance of the farm. Some
may say that the crops must be chang
ed from place to place; that potatoes
may yield we'll on one spot and fail en-
tirely in another, and SO on. These
objections may hold good to a certain
extent. 1t may sometimes be desira-
bic to change the crops, but this can
be done when necessary, and the farm
er is supposed soon to learn to adapt
his crops to his soil. There is no need
of making a sort of landscape patch
work of the farm.-Palmer Sweet in

New York-Infuenccs that ordinarily

disturbance in commercial circles have
recently come to the surface. Reports Of

Of the last two or three years has been

have been Of little consequence, So far
there has been practically no Investment

no demand for stocks, and il is difficult
20 see what will induce a buying power

We have found the bush Lima bean
to yield an earlier picking, bear more
freely and continue in bearing longer
when planted the same day and not a
rod apart than did the pole Lima. We
doubted this before we tried it, but
made the experiment because of the
difficulty or expense of getting poles
when we had no wood lot to go TO in
the winter The same results followed
the use of tie bush horticultural in
stead of the pole horticultural, and as
they were the only kind of pole beans
we cared to grow we have no more use
for bean poles, and do not expect to

The question of filled cheese has again
come to our attention through recent
prosecutions in England for selling
these goods contrary to law. Several
fines have already been imposed upon
offenders, and there seems to be a de-
terminned effort upon the part Of the
officers of the law to enforce strict ad-
herence to the provisions of the act
which was framed to regulate the sale
of imitation cheese. The law provides
that retailers shall advise their Gus
toners of the character of the article
sold, and they shall also wrap each
piece of cheese when delivered to pur-
chaser with paper on which is print
ed distinctly the words Margarine

The Farm Tools,

Keep Farm Tools Sharp.--Too often
this is not thought of until the tools are
wanted for use, then much time is lost
in putting them in order. 1t has been
said that man can do as much in two
days with sharp tools as in three days
with dull ones. l know a man who
does a great deal of hard hoeing, who
thinks the continued use of a file makes
q difference of nearly one-haIf in the
labor. So look after the condition OF
the hoes, spades, scythes, saws, chisels.
etc.; it will pay. A good grindstone
and plenty of files are among the best
of farm investments. The man who
prepares himself before the rush of
spring work comes upon him will al
ways be ahead of his neighbor who de-
fers preparation until time to begin
spring work.
Grinding Tools.-All edge tools should
be held on the grindstone so that the
action of the stone will be at right an
giles to the plane of the edge; in other
words, hold edge of tool square across
the stone. Ground in this manner, a
finer edge is set, the grinding is done
quicker, the tool holds an edge longer
and is less liable to become nicked. A
grindstone should always run true. as
a tool can not be ground correctly on
one that reyolyes with an irregular mo-
ton. 1t is well TO grind on edges of
stone to form a raised surface.
Varnish for Tools.-Melt three ounces
of tallow with one ounce of resin and
strain while hot, as there may be
specks in the resin. With brush apply
a thin coating to polish parts and 1t
will preserve them from rust for any
length of time

AT the present prices of cotton cloth
a set of good hay caps a yard square
would sometimes pay for themselves in
a single season, when a wet spell
catches the farmer with a lot of nay
nearly cured enough for the barn. 1t is
both provoking and sure loss to have
a coed crop of what should have been
good hay converted into bedding or
something worse than that, after one
has worked two or three days to get it
fit for the barn. Yet often this happens.
A cap yard square will cover good
sized tumble of hay or shock of grain,
as if it does not reach the ground it is
enough to have the top well covered If
the heap is properly made.
