When Jared Peters went west to help
the country grow up, Rose Hawthorne
thought her heart was broken. This
was a logical sequence of the firm con-
viction that she could not live without
Jared, which had led her to engage
herself to him. In accordance with TINS
fixed idea, she, for day or TWO, re-
fused food, and mournfully contem-
plated the prospect of an early demise
But an immature mind cannot long
dominate a young and healthy ply
siaue. On the third day she made sew
eral surreptitious visits to the pantry;
on the fourth day she dined openly and
heartily; and the day after she was
startled by the discovery that she had
not thought of Jared for several hours.
The Sunday following Jared's de-
parture, she permitted Harold Winter
set the son of wealthy manufacturer
from a neighboring city, to accompany
her home from church and linger for
an hour at the gate; and she was again
startled by the discovery that she en-
joyed his society quite as much as
Jared's.
Then she went upstairs and sat down
in the moonlit window to consider.
She had all the rules of love at her
fingers ends. She knew that Absence
makes the heart grow fonder," that
true love never forgets or waivers for
the fraction of second. She was
therefore forced to the conclusion that
sne did not love Jared; that she never
had loved him; and the manufacturer
son was allowed to call regularly.
Jared's~ letters were intensely inter-
esting. The little western town which
he had taken under his wing was on
"boom." He had already doubled his
small capital and was proceeding to
double 1t again. Rose had all the rules
of arithmetic also at her fingers ends.
She knew something of geometrical
progression; and having become, in
view of her large experience. skeptical
in regard to the tender passion, she
planned her future operations on a
strictly commercial basis. After care
full consideration, she decided that a
budding Western capitalist in the
hand was worth more than a wealthy
manufacturers son in the bush; SO she
did not break her engagement; and
she did not mention Harold in her nu-
merous and entirely satisfactory let
tiers to Jared.
Although his love was false, Jared
had one devoted admirer. From the
day it was declared that the red-faced
image of his grandfather, the old man
had found his chief occupation in trac-
ing his own characteristics in the
growing boy.
Hes a Peters, every inch of him, .

You Cannot Make Hens Lay Whom They

With all that men of science have
done to procure for our tables luxuries

most we say there is nc season." no
ore of them has yet succeeded in
wheedling hen into laying her best
and biggest eggs at any other season
of the year than that at which the
primal hen SO distinguished herself.
There have been many experiments of
all kinds tried with regard to Matching
chickens and they have all been more
or less successful, till the term spring
chicken" has become a misnomer. Or
rather there are others beside spring
chickens. We have winter chickens,
thanks to incubators and breeders and
all sorts of appliances, and fall chick
ems and summer chickens, and chick
ems in between seasons, which is one
of the compensations scattered all
through life if we look for them. But
the hen plods on in that tiresome IN
changing way and looks untouched by
all the means that man has invented
for Matching her eggs for her, though
no one knows just what she thinks.
Probably her line of thought takes the

doesn't know that he may by the care
he takes of his hens influence the man

does not deserve to succeed. Hens like

good wholesome food, and in variety.
They want a certain amount of corn
and meal and they dearly love flavor
of meat in their food. Also they like
something in the nature of oyster
shells that the shells of the
eggs may be up to standard quality.
Housekeepers who receive day after
day from their grocer eggs of not only
uniform size and of even tinting-
either all white or with a tinge of
brown-take it as a matter of course.
and think perhaps that it is just SO in
every case. But there are sorters
whose business it is to put into cases
eggs that match in color and size.
And they do say that in Boston the
bIownish eggs have the first call, while
in New York the demand is for purest
white. 1t is this demand for uniform
ity in size and color that induces

1t is still quite a common experience
to find fine and even valuable speci-
mems of old English furniture, chiefly
made of oak. in the cottages of the
village folk. These pieces of furniture
have been handed down from genera

as carriers, keepers, woodmen and
shepherds. How did the family orig
inally come by them? The explaHa-
ton is this In many cases: Genera

Now Jared, absorbed in speculation
as he was. had kept little corner
of his heart for Rose: and thought
himself miracle of constancy because
ne had not allowed another to share
it. There are pretty girls in Kansas;
and there was one in particular, with
&ondrous dimples. that he had noticed,
just barely noticed, ysu know-so he
made the customary remarks about fe-
male perfidy. He wrote Rose a biting
letter-and tore it up; for a subtler
revenge had occurred to him. He d.
vined that Rose preferred him to
Harold--if he succeeded in making
money; and he plotted accordingly.
From this date his correspondence
took on a dismal hue. The boom was
declining; and there were vague hints
of pitfalls that ensare the unwary and
the inexperienced. Close on the heels
of these dire forebodings, followed a
rrmor that Jared had come home un-
expectedly, looking very seedy; and it
was surmised, dead broke
Friends and neighbors, Rose and
Harold among them, promptly gath

home conner and learn the truth of the

mans doleful face was enough. Dis
aster was written on it.
At first he seemed 6fsinclined to
talk; but numerous well put queries
finally loosened his unwilling tongue
Among the friends Jared made in the
west was one who had been born un-
der an unlucky star. He was intelli-
gent and shrewd; but everything he
touched turned to ashes. Where others
reaped golden harvests, he reaped mis-
fortune, and his affairs became serious
Iy involved. He was too young to
know that while there Is life there is
hope; and one night, Jared, who room
