causes for worry when none are per-
ceptible."
"You cannot mean that he is changed
toward you?"
"Oh, no, no! Not in his love for me.
Indeed,s there seems to be an augment
ed tenderness toward me. And it
makes me feel as though, somehow,
was partly the cause of the trouble.
Why, I know there is something wor-
rying poor father. He is even chang
ing in appearance, and is becoming so
haggard. There is some secret sorrow
he is enduring. I spoke to him about
it only the other day.
What answer did he give you?" I
asked.
Just laughed, and said l was gifted
with a vivid imagination.''
"There, you see, it must be only
business worry. If it were anything
regarding yourself, he would not make
light of it,
Florence was partly co1nforted by
my assurance. She glanced up into
my face and smiled. But the troubled
and perplexed look came back when
she answered.:
perhaps it is as you say. But can
not get it out of my head that Mr.. Jack
son is somehow connected with it all. >"
jackson? How could he affect your
fathers life so seriously?" exclaimed.
II do not know. He used to come
here frequently until lately. And after
every visit father seemed to be so
troubled and worried.'
Being satisfied in my own mind that
the difference between Mr.. Morley and
Jackson had arisen over business af-
fairs, I sought to lead Florence away
from subject which seemed to cause
her distress.
"And what can you tell me about the
station agent at Sidington?" asked.
"Oh, Nelson! how puzzled T am over
what you have told me! You say he
tried to shoot you?"
"Yes; but do not agitate yourself
over that. He did not hit me, you
know" answered:
"But why should he want to shoot
you?" she exclaimed.
'"That is as much mystery to me as
to you. Who is the fellow, anyhow?
Where did he come from? His real
name, understand, is Skinner"

CHAPTER XII.

Mr.. Morley came down the path from
the house. At first he did not see us,
and Florence called, which caused him
to turn and approach. AS he drew near
his glance rested on me. Then he
scanned his daughters face anxiously.
His face grew white, and a drawn ex-
preston came over it; he tottered in
his walk, and seemed to keep upright
by an effort of will
: '.Child, why have you tears in your
eyesP" he asked in low, husky tones.
Then, without pausing for answer, he
went on: Retire into the house,

She shuddered, and then with an ef-

''Do not worry about me. Be sure I

is there? Tell me. You know you may
count on my help and sympathy.'
'Yes, yes, know that, Nelson. And

nestled closer to me. It made me fool

Points on Butterrnnkinr.

In the first place good cows are a
necessity. A scrub which gives in
different milk half the year is one of
the great leaks on many farms. Next,
COWS must be well-sheltered, well-fed
and kindly treated, this last being far
more essential than most people
think. Cows which are stabbed should
be we'll brushed and the udder wiped
with damp cloth to prevent the fine
dust of the barn falling into the pail.
This is one cause of bitter milk in
winter. A wire strainer with q fine
thin cloth over it keeps everything
else out of the milk. Tin pans are
easier kept sweet, lighter to handle
and think the cream rises better in
them than crooks.
The milk should not be covered un-
til the animal warmth is outo it. The
sooner it cools the more cream rises.
In summer the pans can be set in
cold water and the water drawn of
when warm and renewed. A shallow
zinc box, like the top of sink, only
large enough to accommodate all the
milk of one milking, is handy. The
box should be as deep as the pans,
with spout to let the water off. One
bucket of water would be sufficient to
cool the milk. The paus can be left
here until next milking or when cool
set fiat on the cellar floor. A frame

deceased. What kinship did he prove
The general promptly replied the kin
ship Of father and son.
The children said the answer was
wrong-the parent was woman. This
tickled the general, and he decided tt
pass it along, SO the next day, while
taking luncheon with a friend, he pre-
pounded the following:

Eccentric Colonel Ege.

Colonel Ege was famous character
in the early days. Although living in
Doniphan County he was often in AT
Gibson, followed by pack of hounds.
He was q high toned Southern gentle
man with q kind heart, and one day
returning home from this city he came
across q man whose wagon was stuck
in the mud in Independence Creek
bottom. Colonel Ege at once started in
to help the man pry out his wagon
with fence rails. While both were
working away, Eye became angry, and
yelled to the man: lift, you son OF a
gun; you are not lifting a pound" The
man picked up the endgate Of the wag-
DON, anu split it over Eyes head, lay
ing him up for three weeks. Ege had
his hat of when struck, and was SO
bald before coming to Kansas that he
was known rs the Bald Eagle Of Mary
land. Ege always carried pistol, and
was always trying to shoot through
somebody's hat without hitting him.
One day, at the independence Creek
ferry, he shot at man, but aimed
little low, and creased him. But Ege
was always gentleman; he took the
man to his home, and tenderly cared
for him until he recovered.
