The words sounded so plain and
positive that doubt vas no longer
possible. But Maxwell was now as
sailed with questions from all sides.
Everybody pressed forward, and he
found himself compelled to relate
briefly what had happened.
"Our return was accomplished with
out the least danger" he said, in con-
clusion. I'm IN elegant carriage and
accompanied by a lady, we were be-
yond the pale Of suspicion and reach
ed the outposts safely, where Lieuten-
ant Davis received us with the utmost
courtesy and went into raptures over
Mrs. Roland. But he Is right. Will
liam is a daredevil and incorrigibly
obstinate, but we must admit that he
has good taste. His wife is charm
ing"
The last remark seemed to interest
the younger officers extremely. They
wanted to learn all sorts of particulars
about Mrs. Roland and were greatly
disappointed when informed that the
young bride was very much agitated
by her fathers death and probably
would see little of her husbands COM
rades for some time.
"Ah, there comes William!" he ex-
claimed, in%terrupting himself. Con

dignity somewhat timidly."
1t was really William, who had come
to report his return. He was warmly
greeted by all. The colonel especially
received him with great cordiality.

you are at last! Doctor Maxwell has
already told us the whole adventure
OF which you were the hero"
Not l but John Maxwell was the

hand to his friend with ill-repressed
emotion. Had it not been for him, |

Maxwell %laughingly refused his
thanks.

VALUE OF FARM MACHINERY.
Has Added Immensely to tho wealth
of the Nation.

Farm machinery may some time do
work for us that will be worth $1,000
600 600 a year, says Worlds Work.
Theoretically it is already saving us
nearly t~hree-uuarters of that sum-. for
as far back as 1899, if all the crops
to which machinery is adapted could
have been planted and gathered by
hand, they would have cost nearly
500. O00, 900 more than If they had
all been planted and gathered by ma
chinery. 1t has not only added SO
much to our wealth, but it has made
us the foremost exporting nation, and
it is changing the character OF the
farmer by freeing him from monoton-
Gus hand toll. More than that, 1t Is
fast changing the immemorial concep-
ton of agriculture and the pastoral
and idyllic associations that have gath
cred about it since the time of Abra-
ham. Wealth, industry, commerce,
the character Of men and eve their
sentiment are all affected by it.
Yet SO sudden have been these
changes that we have yet hardly
caught their meaning. The cradle
scythe is only a little more than a cen
fury old, and the cast-iron pillow was
first used even later than the cradle
scythe. In other words, a century ago
agricultural machinery was almost as
primitive as it was a thousand years
ago. Now we have steam plows, COM
bined harvesters and threshers and
auto-mowers. They have come into
use so recently hat only a small part
of the population have ever see them
at work. Yet they are changing our
life in all it's wide reaches-from COM
merce to poetry.

1t was sunset at the Union camp.
Colonel Burpey had summoned all the
officers Of the regiment to one of the
little festivities which are often i'm
provised on the march or in camp.
A certain feeling OF anxiety per-
vaded the group. Lieutenant Roland,
though expected every minute, had not
yet arrived. The colonel had no rea-
o to conceal the fact that he had
given the young officer a leave Of alb
sence or it's purpose. True, dangers
and risks were everyday occurrences
In this war; people regarded them as
matters Of curse and wasted few
words over them, but Roland was, as
his friend expressed it, 1.-The darling
of the regiment"
II ought to have refused the leave"
said Colonel Burney, angrily. II fear
the matter will end badly. He ought
to have been here long ago, had the
adventure proved successful"
I'VE often reconnoiter within the
enemy's lines" one of the officers re-
marked. True, Roland is alone, but
ne is less likely to attract attention
on that account. The dangers which
threaten him on way"
Are the least" interrupted the col
onel. What l fear is treachery with

of house that might be suggested, the
accompanying plans Of ground and
upper floor are probably as conven-
lent as any that could be suggested.
This house is "a feet by 25 feet. and
10 feet high to the roof, and 1t had no
cellar. This, of course, could be
added, If desired, at a small increase
of cost. 1t would be we'll to construct
a veranda along the front, and this
should be not less than five feet wide.
The front hall allows ample room for
a hat rack, and a clothes closet may
be built beneath the stairs. Should a
cellar be required the closet could be
~doneaway with, making room for the
cellar stairs. 1t would be we'll to have
sliding doors between the dining room
and sitting room. The kitchen, it will
be noticed, is the largest room on the
lower floor, and n be used for a din
ing room in the writer season if de-
sired. The height o. the ceiling down
stairs is nine feet, and Of the upstairs
eight and one-half feet.
The upper story is divided into
three good-sized chambers. each open
ing into the hall. There is also a
small front room, which may be used
as a sewing room O. study as desired.
The cost of such a house as is sug-
gested depends much upon the interior

Is MeIba A Scot?

Three or four years ago., when Melba
was singing in Dundee, Scotland, a
large contingent from Broughty Fer
ry attended the concert. The next day
it appeared in the paper at the latter
place that Nine. Melba was a native
OF their little town. Brot'y Ferry is a
suburb Of Dundee, and the wealthy
Dundee merchants have built their
palaces at Brot'y overlooking the Firth
OF Tay. At the next nights concert
Melba promptly announced that she
was sorry to disappoint the Brot'y
Ferrians in their belief that she was
q native of that town, but it was not
the case; she was a native of Mel
bourne. But the truth is this: Ac-
cording to the birth registers at the
Ferry Nellie Mitchell was born June.
1851" Her father, David Mitchell.
was a gardener at one OF the great
places there, and he left the Ferry
when his children were quite young
and settled in Melbourne, taking the
name OF Melba from that time.
