eyes, and, as on the evening before.
both he and Aunt Lissy retired early.
"They wish me WELL" Albert thought
The next day Uncle Terry proposed
that Telly should drive to the head OF
the island in his place.
"I'm sorry ye must leave us, Mr..
Page" he said when Albert was ready
to bid the old folks goodby. "I wish
ye could stay longer, but cum ag'in
soon, an remember our latchstring's
allus out fer ye."
When the old carryall had made half
its daily journey Albert pointed to
low rock and said, There is spot I
shall always be glad to see, for it was
there Uncle Terry first found me-"
Telly made no answer. In fact, she
had said but little since they started.
When they reached the little landing
no one else was there. No house was
In sight of 1t, and the solitude was
broken only by the tide that softly
caressed the barnacled piles OF the
wharf and the weed covered rocks on
either side. No boat was visible
adown the wide reach that separates
Southport island from the mainland,
and up it came light sea breeze that
barely rippled the flowing tide and
whispered throLs the brown and scar
let leaved thicket back Of them. Over
all shone the hazy sunlight Of October.
Telly stood listening and hoping that
the boat would be late. A look Of sad
ness came over her face and a more
than usually plaintive appeal in her
expressive eyes. 81 am sorry you are
going" she said. 1T Is so lonesome
here, and it will seem more 80 now"
Then, as If that was a confession he
might think unmaidenly, she added, II
dread to have the summer end, for
when winter comes the rocks all
around seem like so many tombstones."
Albert put out his hand as If that
would aid his appeal. and as his fin-
gers closed over hers he said: II am
going away with heavy heart, Telly,
and when I can come back Is hard to
say. VIII you not promise me that
some time, no matter when, you will
be my own good and true wife? Let
me so away with that hope to comfort
me while 1 work and save for a home
for us both. Will you. Telly"
But the plaintive face was turned
away, perhaps to hide the tears. Then
an arm stole around her waist, and as
he drew her close she whispered,
when I am no longer needed here, II
you want me then I will come to you"
She was sobbing, her head resting on
his shoulder, and as he kissed her un-
resisting lips a boats sharp whistle
broke the sacred spell.
"Go little way back, my darling"
he whispered, until the boat Is gone.
I do not want any one to see you have
been crying"
When her misty eyes could no longer
see the boat that bore her heart away,
she turned, and all the long, lonely
way back loves tears fingered on her
lashes.

think how you will look and what
those who find you will say. II were
to do such thing I should first make
sure no one would ever find me-"
The remark startled him. 'Telly," he
said soberly, do not ever think Of
such a thing. Would you, whose heart
is so loving and tender, burden all
those who know you with lifelong
sorrow"
mo, no, not that way. Only If those
who love me were taken should want
to follow them. That is all. Please
forget I said It." Then she told him
her own brief history, and at last,
after much coaxing, little Of the one
sorrow of her life.
."Now l know" he said, why you
avoided speaking about the picture Of
the wreck the first time came here"
Then in a moment he added: "Telly, /
want you to give 1t to me and let me
take it away. want it for two rea-
sons. One is, it gave me the first hint
of your life's history. And then I do
not want you to look at 1t any more"
"You may have It," she answered,
smiling sadly. 1T was foolish Of me
to paint It."
When the sun was low and they were
ready to return he said, Promise me,
sweetheart, that you will try to forget
all of your past that is sad and think
only Of us who love you and to whom
your life Is a blessing"
That evening he noticed Uncle Terry

peas, sorghum and hog crops.

Third Year
Field (a)-Small grain followed by
peas, sorghum, peas and hay crops.
Field (b)-Cotton.
Field (c)-Corn and peas.
1t will be observed that in this rota-
tion two-thirds Of the cultivated land
has humus supplying and renovating
crops every year.
Sweet potatoes, ground peas, sofa
beans, artichokes, rape and chufas are
classed as hog crops. These are to be
gathered by the hogs under movable
fences, which are easily made with ca
BILE hog wire, by mailing strips Of plank
to the posts and bradding the wire to
the plank. To move this the plank
with the wire attached can be rolled
and carried to the new plot to be in
closed. The posts are reset at the
same distance apart as before and the
plank renailed to them. BY this means
pork can be grown very cheaply with
out recourse to the corn crib. Ten
acres should be sodded in Bermuda
grass and several planted in alfalfa, the
former for permanent pasture and the
latter for green sailing or for hay. A
few acres in Texas and blue grass will
complete the pasturage for permanent
use as this is green when Bermuda is
dormant. Rye sown thickly, part in
drill and part broadcast Is the best

Along Seth Bullock.
How Seth Bullock, superintendent Of
the Black Hills forest reserve, personal
friend Of the president and not infre-
quently a guest at the White House and
a noted western character, managed to
secure a fancy drink in the early days
of Helena, is told by former resident
Of that city, now of this. 1t serves to
show that the age Of promotion" Is
not as young as Is pictured by later
late savants.-
1t was in the early '70s, when Hele-
ma was one Of the banner placer mining
camps Of the west, and gold was be-
ing washed by hundreds Of men from
the sands Of Last Chance Gulch (now
Main street,. Bullock wanted fan
cy drink and did not care to remuner-
ate the bartender with a fancy price
In lieu, so he evolved plan which
worked to perfection.
"GT, I'll tell you what let's do. If
you will furnish the sherry. I'll fur
nish the eggs, and we will mix drink
that is out of sight"
AS eggs were worth 50 a dozen, the
liquor man decided that 1t was good
bargain, although wine was also sold
at a stiff figure in those days. Then
Bullock went into grocery nearby,
and said to the proprietor: :.
w, If you will furnish the eggs,
I'll furnish the sherry and we will have
something worth while In the line Of
fancy drinks"
The grocer agreed to furnish the
eggs and few minutes later both en-
tered the liquor house. The concoction
was duly prepared and the three be-
gan to absorb it.
AS Seth swallowed his share. an idea
struck the bartender.
Say" demanded he, turning upon
Seth, where do you come in on this
game anyway? W has furnished
the eggs, and have supplied the IL
quor. How do you get in?"
"Oh, I'm the promoter" replied Bull
lock with a smile.
There was nothing left to say

Pittsburq Banker Recalls Incident In

Mr.. George Wood was In Pittsburg

to stop in a bank and pay his respects
to the president, who was "a years old,

community.
Mr.. Wood, you are from Louis

that was many years ago. I. called at

Henry Clay was announced.

and graceful bearing.
"Mr. Clay did not delay a moment,
but came at once to the purpose OF his
call.
"'Mr. Mcknight said he, I have IN
dorsed a note which Is due In this bank
in the next few days. 1t Is for $4,000.
My friend is unable to meet the note'
and I shall have it to pay. l have
come to ask If the bank will carry that
paper for me until I can arrange to

"Mr. Clay said Mr.. Mcknight, you
are mistaken. You are not on any
paper in this bank
Mr.. Clay was greatly surprised,
and said he certainly could not be mis-
taken.

earnestly, "is whar l allus envy the

have it all pict'rd out in thar minds,
even to what the streets are paved
with an the kind O. music they're

but there are times when l envy the

But do you believe death ends all

"Have you no hope, ever, Of life be-
yond this blank WALTZ"
"Sartin have hopes, same as all on
US has, but I wish was more sure
my hopes was goin' ter be realized.
Once in awhile l git the feelin' thar
amt no use in hopin', an then a little
suthin keeps sayin' 'Mebbe-mebbe-
mebbe'-an' feel more cheerful
again."
Albert looked at the roughly clad
and withered old man who sat near,
and in whose words iurked an under
tone Of sadness mingled with faint
hope, and in an instant back came a
certain evening months before when
the Widow Leach had uttered prayer
that had stirred his feelings as no
such utterance ever had before. All
the pathos of that simple petition, all
It's abiding faith In Gods goodness
and wisdom, all its utter self abnega-
ton and absolute confidence in life
beyond the grave, came back, and all
the consolation that feeling surely held
for the old and poverty environed
soul who uttered it impressed him in
sharp contrast to the doubling 'mebte
-mebbe" Of Uncle Terry.
As Albert looked out to where the
waves were breaking upon ledge,
and back again to this old man sitting
with bowed head beside him, sincere
regret that it was not in his power to
utter one word that would aid in dis
pelling the clouds of doubt came to
him. "Since l lack in faith myself"
he thought, "all can say will only In
crease his doubt ] wish l had as
much faith as the widow, but I have
not, and possibly never shall have"
For a long time he sat in silence. living
over the years during which skepticism
had been slowly but surely growing
upon him, and then Uncle Terry sud-
denly looked up at him. 1t is likely the
old mans keen eyes read at glance
what was in Albert's mind, for he said:
1T don't do no good ter brood over
this matter O. believin', Mr.. Page; I've
