the train was rapidly nearing the sta.

Presently the young man arose to
take his suit case from the rack above
and saw by my expression that some
thing had happened pointed to my
upper lip and ylared ut him. He stood
looking at me stupidity for time,
then put his hand to his face, and when
he Withdrew il the patch came also.
At the moment the young lady noticed
that something was wrong and, glanc-
ing from me to her lover, saw him
looking at her patch on his hand.
Oh. the crimson Of roses, the carna-
ton Of pink, the scarlet of poppies!
None Of these was ever so beautiful as
the flush that came upon the cheek Of
this pretty girl. No patch was needed
to make contrast. 1t famed against
the ivory Of her face, banner of love
unfurled to the gaze of all who chose
to look.
The young man rose to the occasion.
Rushing up to me, he grasped my hand.
"Why, John! Where did you spring
from? Why didn't you let me know
you were on the train? Where do you
stop in the city,"
Between my replies managed to
slip my card into his hand, and he hur-

husband proved to be the young man
who had kissed her in the tunnel. It
turned out that the man l had taken
for the father was her guardian and
was scheming to marry her. His plans
were frustrated by the couple, who
managed to elude him in crowd be-

In more ways than one the cellar is
the most important part of a house.
If the cellar is poor, no amount of
care in the rooms above can insure o
healfhful condition of the premises.
When / moved on the farm ! now oc
cupy the cellar was low, damp and
unhealthy. Just as soon as l could
get TO 1t. I raised the house eighteen
inches, thus giving me plenty of head
room. AT one side of the house was an
old cistern. This had not been properly
built, and had become a source of no
little annoyance. 1t leaked in spite of
all could do. The water ran through
the wall into the cellar; the frost threw
the wall down repeatedly, and alto
gether it was so much of q nuisance
that | filed it UP. tore down the wall
under the house all around, drew an
immense pile of heavy stone, and laid
the wall up from the bottom, making
it much thicker than before. 1t hap
pened that l had small quarry of
good stone on my farm. With my own
hands I got out splendid rock from
this ledge, drilling, splitting and facing
them up ready for use. They were of
a fine blue color, very solid and hand
some, readily taking a rock face. The
wall was laid up most of the way in
mortar composed of sand. lime and
water cement and the entire inside was
plastered from the bottom to the sills.
Over the bottom good coat of cement
made firm water proof floor. A drain
was provided to take away water which
might find its way through the walls
and the result is that l have a good
cellar. Through the hatchway entering
from the south side | can carry down
crate of potatoes on my shoulder
without STOPPING. Rats and mice can
get in only when the door Is open. or
when brought in with vegetables and
bags. l am very careful to sort out my

shrewd sheen RuYinr.

In recent number OF the Shep-
herds Bulletin n breeder boasts that
he recently sold twenty-five ewes, and
his fiocks were so even in quality that
the buyer agreed to take the first
twenty-five that went through the
gate. That certainly speaks well for
the uniformity of the flock. but it also
shows some shrewdness on the part
of the buyer. Those that go ahead are
those that are the natural leaders of
the flock, and likely to be the strong
est and most vigorous. The custom
of having bell wether to lead the
flock Is so seldom followed now that it
devolves on the strongest ewes to take
the leadership when there is no ram
with the flock, and even if there were
it Is probable that the best ewes would
be in the advance next to him, unless
of n season when they were heavy
with lamb. This is true in regard to
nearly all stock. When you see them
you will find them hearty eaters
strong, healthy ard with good diges-
tive powers.
