He stretched out his hand eagerly, as
he always did for anything of that
sort, but as soon as his eyes fell on
the handwriting he started and turned
very pale, and 1t was with great eff
fort he could control himself so as to
open the missive. Even as he did his
hands shook SO palpably that the pa
per rustled.
A glance was enough to master It's

The large and increasing circulation
of The Iowa Homestead in this county
is matter for congratulation to the
publishers and to good farming, for, of
all the papers of its class in the coun-
try, 1t is easily the best and most help
full. Its Special Farmers Institute
editions, issued with the regular edition
the first week in each month, have been
for years the admiration of all practi-
cal farmers. Written wholly by farm
ers, they are full of actual experience,
and smell of the soil. We have been
fortunate enough this season to secure
terms for The Homestead and it's Spec
ial Farmers Institute Editions, together
with The Poultry Farmer and The
Farmers Mutual Insurance Journal,
four of the most valuable farm publ
cations in the country, that enable US to
offer the four in connection with our
own paper for $3.50 for the entire five,
one year. This is emphstically good
thing, and no farmer in this county
should fail to take advantage of this
offer. For large line of thoroughly
practical farm reading nothing has ever
been offered before that equals it. A
county paper, y farm paper, poultry
paper, farm insurance paper and the
Special Farmers' Institute, all for $l.eO.
Come In and order them.

putting this statement, though his sud-

peared to lack that fine intensity which
should accompany such brave words.
Indeed, there was q ring of bravado In
1t which robbed the utterance of some

did not come well from one who was
afraid Of his own shadow and who had
broken his Journey because an inof-
