The SCIII]Quy of a Fool.
by DAVID ABBOTT PIATT.


IL was an unsavory quarter, where
the night hung heavy and dark over
a narrow section of smoke-grimed, i'll
odored street, and the handsome. we'll
dressed young man, pacing moodily
TO and fro in the shadows of the ware
house at the end of the square, looked
and felt just about as much out OF
place as he really was.
His was the old, old story of a mans
surreAder TO the fatal destinations of
a pretty face, and he was wondering,
with increased irritation, why he had
ever permitted himself to become so
miserably entangled with that portion
less, positionless girl. He was won
dering, too. why he had not long since
revolted from the sitting atmosphere
and prevalent uncleanliness of this
wretched locality-he who had always
reveled in the little refinements and
luxuries of an idle and wealthy So
ciety. He was Disguised with him
SELF with the world, with everything
and everybody, save Clara. She was
blameless. He pitied her
Theirs had been a sweet little love
story But it must end now. He
could not so below his social plane
for a wife without remaining there
with her-he could never elevate her
to his own station-try as he might.
Such a mesalliance could not result
otherwise than in lifelong misery for
them both, for when the fictitious
strata of romance SHOULD slough away
and grim reality begin to peer through
the threadbare happiness that re-
manned, discomfort, aye, disloyalty,
would come, with mutual recrimina-
tons speeding in its wake. Yes, he
had reasoned it cut logically, con-
clusively, and in such manner as
to excuse himself from blame at every
turn.
He wondered how she would take
It, No doubt she would be heart
broken, but time would heal the
wound with the balm Of forgetfulness.
She was too proud, he knew, to do
anything stupid so he had no fear OF
exposure to embarrassing publicity.
Still, his imagination kept opening
up new and decidedly unpleasant
fields of conjecture. More than one
girl had suicided under similar con-
ditions. What if Clara were brought
home some day, the sweet voice
stilled and the merry brown eyes
sealed forever? What If she were
driven out into the world to buffet for
a space with the foodtide OF human
wickedness, then to so down. down
to degi aGstion-to a living death
and the blame for il all laid at his
door? The thought was maddening
1t made him shudder
Then, as he began more fully to
comprehend the extent to which this
girls future depended upon him. there
sprang into life in his breast a sud-
den, magnanimous resolve to keep
his plighted troth. let the conse-
quences be what they would 1t would
be a bitter sacrifice, he knew; but

A BENEFIT TO FARMERS.

corporation Of the International Har-
vester Company which took over the
business OF the five leading harvester
manufacturers have probably not
been considered by large portion OF
the farming community.
The economical necessity OF con-
solidation Of the interests OF manufac-
turers and those OF their farmer Gus
toners must De apparent to any one
who understands the present situa-
ton.
The increased and increasing co
OF material, manufacturing and sell
ing-the latter in consequence OF ex'
IRENE and bitter competition between
manufacturers and their several sell
ing agents-has made the business
Improbable.
Tho two alternatives left for the
manufacturers were either the In
creasing OF the prices Of machines or
the reduction OF the cost of manufac-
ture and sales. The latter could only
be accomplished by concentrating the
business in one company.
AS can readily be seen. the forming
OF the new company was not stocN
jobbing operation but centering OF
mutual interests. There is no watered
stock; the Capitalization Is con
sentative and represented by actual
and tangible assets. There is no
stock offered to the public. 1t having
all been subscribed and paid for by
the manufacturers and their associ-
ates.

tional Harvester Company IS in the

men.

pany owns five OF the largest harves-
ter plants in existence. The Cham
pion, Deering. Mccormick. Milwaukee
and Plano-plants that have been
producing nearly or quite 80 per cent
of the harvesting machines Of the
world.
1t also owns timber and coal lands,
blast furnaces and a steel plant; Il
has a new factory in the process OF
construction in Canada.
1t Is believed that the cost OF pro.
ducing grain, grass and corn harvest
ing machines will be so reduced that
the present low prices can be con-
tinued, and that consequently the re-
suits cannot be otherwise than bene-
fetal to the f.rmer. To maintain the
present prices Of these machines
means to continue and increase the
development of the agriculture OF the
world. for no one cause has contribut-
ed or can contribute more to this de-
velopment than the cheapness of
machines for harvesting grains.
