Native mariners all knew, and
strangers quickly learned, that the late
Capt. Grimes. Of the ship Saragossa,
was man noted for his gourmanderie.
Any cook who could please the palate
of Capt. Grimes must be a master of
his art, and glance at the sign would
prepare the marine palate for a tooth
some dish, no matter what he ordered.
"Ah, me-" sighed Sincere, as she
gazed yacuously at the water, Il wish
! could do something besides cook. If
] could play the pianner or sing it'd
be different, but can't do nothing but
cook. All. me-"
Freckled as to face, with a tint OF
pink on the end of her nose, and bo~Jy
as to form, Sincere had had ~. little
romance. Her father had one day
hired an assistant, man of remark
able culinary skill, and. in Sincere's
eyes. of wonderful beauty. No man
in her scope of vision had such glossy
black hair. held down by odoriferous
pomatum. No man living, she be.
iieved, had such taste in neckties,
and surely none had such small and
shapely feet. At the sight of them she
felt ashamed of her own sturdy mem
bers.
1t was not surprising that Sincere's
heart should capitulate at once to such
a superior creature, and she would gaze
at him. preparing some dish, absorbed
at the grace of his movements. He
had way OF going about the making
of an omelet that would have enslaved
a Venus If she had had the privilege
of being in the kitchen with him.
There were times when Sincere fan
cied that the eyes of Alonzo Whiting
looked tenderly on her from amid the
unctuous steam of cooking, and surely
he had squeezed her hand when she
had handed him the pepper.
1t was an evil day for Alonzo and for
Sincere when man and woman en-
tered the eating house. She was a
stout lady with highly colored face
and loud, penetrating voice.
Sincere eyed her coldly and there
was no welcome in her tones when she

Sincere repeated her question.

Then emerged from the kitchen the
caricature Of Alonzo Whiting. His
hair, rebellious of pomatum, struggled
about his head. He shuffled in his
patent leather shoes. and his necktie
looked dull and faded.
"Heliza." he gasped
Your Heliza." repeated the lady
affectionately. "Oh, Halonzo, 'ow could

THESE BOYS WORK.
Raise $40 Acres of Corn, for Which
They Receive 81. 15+. so.

BY industriously tending a patch of
corn all last summer three Missouri
boys earned net only the handsome
sum of $4,154,52, but sufficient distinc-
ton to have the fruit of their industry
selected to be one of the features of
Missouri's exhibit at the Worlds Fair,
and to cause the commission to place
their photographs in a place of honor
in the Nil souri, building.
The boys are John, George and
Joseph Christian, aged IS, 10, and II
years e.pectively. They are the sons
c. A. Christian, and their home is in
Tarkio, Atchison county. The work
was all done between May l and Nov.
l, and the boys are now in school.
The Christian boys accepted an offer
from Davis Rankin of Atchison county,
Missouri. who is the most extensive
cattle feeder in the world. Mr.. Rankin
has 10000 acres of land in Atchison
county, and each year he raises corn
on flom $4,000 to 10000 acres.
When the Christian boys applied for
a tract of land on which to raise corn
Mr.. Rankin promptly turned over Il
tract of $40 acres and agreed to pay
the boys IL cents for every bushel OF
corn they would raise.
Hitching six Missouri mules to q
lister the boys went to work. This
machine plows, harrows, and seeds al
at one operation. They worked like
Trojans and soon the $40 acres were
all planted. Then the boys had q
breath spell. When the corn began t(
grow another task appeared for them
and three times the growing corn hac
to be cultivated. Again was requisi
ton made on the Missouri mule, anC
six were attached to each of three two
row cultlvators. The weeds were KEEP
down, the soil loosened, and the corr
grew. This corn was gone over thre'
times. Meanwhile the grain grew ant
ripened, and when November rolleI
around the harvest was begun.
Up to this time the work of maxim;
the crop had been done altogether b.
the three boys. Extra help was EN-
ployed in the harvest, however, ant
when the corn was gathered an
: measured into Mr. Rankin's great corr
bins 1t was found that the boys ha
grown 1862 bushels of the grain. A
} IL cents per bushel this netted the sur
|, OF S4,154.52. and Mr.. Rankin CAV
