The next afternoon Ethel felt that she
could safely start TO the village, TO make
a few purchase for herself, as at the
lunch table Robert had told Lady Con
stance he should leave home at two that
afternoon to visit young friend, and
should remain away until noon the next
day.
As she had not ventured beyond the
grounds of the Hall since her arrival,
except on this afternoon. before. she did
lot know in which direction the places
of business lay; therefore, seeing Sandy

The law of most States requires the
manufacturer to print on the outside
of the sack the guaranteed analysis
of the fertilizer. Beyond this point the
law is silent 1t does not say what
price shall be asked, neither does it
place any limit on the guarantee. As
a consequence, the manufacturers
have in some instances covered nearly
the whole front of the sack with guar
antees, which cannot help being con-
fusing and misleading. The wants Of

Good Gains From Locust Planting.

Good Gains From Locust Planting.
The cultivation of the locust tree was
recommended by Instructors Jones and
Morse of the Vermont station for cer-
tain types of cheap barren land in
1887. One hundred seeding trees were
set in rows four feet apart each way.
At eleven years old they averag ed six
teen feet in height and five inches in
diameter. Encouraged by this small
planting five thousand more Seeding
trees were planted in 1902 and 90 per
cent Of the trees were alive at the
time of the report and making rapid
growth. This planting was made at a
total expense of from $27 to $32 per
acre. Estimates are made of the pos
sible value Of the crop which it is be-
lieved at the twentieth year will be
about $256 per acre. Suggestions are
given for planting, and where there is
danger from attacks of insects mixed
plantations are recommended in which
white and pitch pires, birch, elm and
box elder are believed valuable

Don't Forget Flowing.

When one is growing a diversified
lot of crops there is little time for
choosing seasons in which to do the
necessary branches of the work. In
many localities there is a rooted OBJ
lection to fab blowing, and in some
cases these objections may be sound,
although in the majority of cases there
are three good arguments in favor of
fall blowing to one against it. There
is more time to do the work, and as
result 1t is better done in the fall. Fall
plowed soil car be worked earlier in
the spring, because it is open and
warns up earlier. In the normal sea-
son one can plant in fall-plowed
ground q week or ten days earlier
than in ground plowed in the spring.
In some sections where it does not
seem advisable to harrow after fall
blowing, and especially when sod land
has been turned under, a disc harrow
can be run over the ground to advan-
tage, leaving the work Of the smooth
ing harrow to be done in the spring.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT
REACHES WASHINGTON
Ends One Of the Most Remarkable
Trips on Record With Speech
At White House.

Washington, June S-President
Roosevelt's memorable trip of more
than two months throughout the west
was ended Friday night at 1880 O'Clock
by his arrival In Washington. A hearty
reception on the part of the people OF
the capital awaited him. Crowds
lined the sidewalks as he was driven
to the White House. escorted by the
battalion OF high-school cadets. The
President cordially responded to the
greetings given him, repeatedly stand
ing up in his carriage and waving his
hat In acknowledgment OF the cheer
ing.
At the entrance to the White House
grounds the cadets halted and the
President and his party passed them
in review. While the review OF the
cadets was taking place a large crowd
of people repaired to the rear of the
White House, where the President ap.
peared and made brief speech to the
gathering, saying:
81 thank you very much for coming
here to greet me. and have appre.
ciated the welcome back home that ]
have received to-day. have been alb,
sent more than two months and have
travelled many miles. During that time
one thing has struck me, and that is
the substantialness of the American
people. One can travel from ocean to
ocean and from Canada to the Gulf
and always be at home among ones
fellow Americans. thank you again,
my friends"
The trip just completed has been in
some respects the most remarkable
President ever undertook. Mr..
Roosevelt and his party travelled over
$4,000 miles on railroads and several
hundred miles in stage coaches and
carriages but not an accident marred
their journey.
During the sixty-five days that the
President spent on the road he made
PCS speeches and had it not been for
Secretary Loeb's firmness he would
have made nearly double that mum
Der. From the day the President left
Washington requests began to pour In
for changes in his program and for
additional addresses. but Secretary
Loeb In most every case said no.

CHAPTER xi.


The popular discomfort with the
rapid and radical reforms OF the
saints Parliament was not confined
to the Royalists; the nation, without
regard to party, was bitterly incens-
ed and alarmed. Cromwell was no
exception; the most conservative of
men. he also grew angry aud restless
when he saw the reign OF the saints
beginning in earnest.
Soon the anger outside the Parlia.
ment House rose to fury. Doubtless
Cromwell had foreseen this crisis.

sers we're of his way Of thinking, and

by a majority of the members, went

wrote out their RESIGNATION.

from Lord Neville?" On her first in.

his second his reply showed some
anger.
He offered voluntarily to take
charge Of Lady Jevery's jewels and
to collect my money at The Hague:
and unless he was certain of his abil.
ity to do these things safely, he ought
not to have sought the charge"
And with these words there entered
into James heart a suspicion that hurt
her like a sword-thrust. She found
herself saying continually. 1T is i'm.
possible! impossible! Oh, my God,
where is he?"
The ride back to Whitehall after
the installation Of the Lord Protector
was an Intoxicating one. Londoners
had at last a ruler who was a SUI.
premely able man. They could go
to their shops, and buy and sell in
security. oliver Protector would see
to their rights and their welfare. His
very appearance was satisfying: he
was not a young man headstrong and
reckless, but a Protector who had
been tried on the battlefield and in
the Council Chamber and never found
wanting.
But be the day glad or sad, time
runs through 1t, and the shadows Of
evening found the whole city worn
out with their own emotions. Mrs.
Swafham and Jane were glad to re-
turn to the quiet of their home

Then Mrs. Swaffham looked at her

And oh, how good 1t was to the
heart-sick girl, to be at last alone. to
