The excursions by the merchants associations of

bring their wives and friends to the shore for a
few weeks outing. and Thursday of last week and
Thursday of this week saw great numbers of these

to the heat which has burdened the inland

beach, about the hotels in the adjoining sounds,
the golf links, along the board walk or the

larger amount of nitrogen. Wheat con-
tains the largest amount of gluten i'll

mcnt made with Il variety it was found
that when wheat was cut Is days before

of the young mans affections to visit
at the old Weld homestead.
Thus it happened that Miss Florence
Dcane got down from the train at
LecdsbOro one morning and charmed
all bcholders between the depot and
the Weld house, which was almost at
the other end of the town.
She was Il bright girl, with reputa-
ton for solving puzzles, and Frank
had high hopes that she would make
something of the original valentine,
though she had failed with Il copy.
But as in all other cases, it was the
valentine that emerged from the strug-
gle victorious. At the end of two days
Florence received positive commands
from Aunt Mary Weld not TO look at
the verses again. She was compelled
to take the air, to walk about the vii
lage, which was quantity charming

though her body was thus cocrccd, her
mind could not be SO easily controlled.
She began to have il hunted, scared

ever met, Il quaint old philosopher such
