CHAPTER III.
While the Storm Ragged.

Cayright was IN despair. He forgot
that IN his desire to serve the girl he
had eaten nothing himself.
He staggered from the room. and sank
with a grOan into a chair in the one
from which he had carried the body Of
Hubbick.
With his head resting on his hands,
his elbows on his knees, he tried TO look
into the immediate future-tO think what
was best for him TO do.
Springtng up again, he rushed 10 ths
shed where the two horses stood. and
looked out at the storm.
1t was still raging The wind Il is
true. had died doSn. but that only made
matters worse.
The snow was falling heavily. the sleet
had given way TO hard. Arm flakes. and
the depth OF the white covering was in

He led his horse around TO the rear
Of the house. where a shed. open at one

From this shed a door led into the
kitchen.

Hubbick had barns and horses, but
TO find them through the storm was a
difficult task.
The horse showed his appreciation of
the shelter, and rubbed his cold nose
against Cayright's sleeve.
The surveyor, WitE an affectionate pat
on the faithful animals neck, stepped
to the kitchen door.

knocks on the door. Again there was
no response.

He tried the door. To his surprise it

soft and red and smiling. and her two
rows of even teeth are ike strings of
pearls. There is no gold visible in her
mouth, ana each tooth looks as though
it We're new today.
Keeping the mouth nice is such an
art. There Is a French actress, noted
for her ch8iTLs, who once tried 20 tint
the inside or her mouth. She Redeemed
her gums 20 make her teeth look whittier,
and she even Redeemed the tip of her
pretty tongue. But Fourier does not
do this. She would not think IL good

A Pleasure to See.
Her mouth is naturally a healthy

than snow pearls. She keeps them Ia

il is a pleasure 10 look at her Such

her admirers claim.

TO have "a pretty pink ear is a difficult
task for any woman. but she can make
some approach 20 IL. She can have au
ear that is shining. and, then, by pinch
ing the tip of the lobe. she can make
the ear blush a little. 1t is really bet
ter 10 use just a trihc Of rouge upon the
tip Of the ear. for there is nothing as

pink glow which was one of the prin-
clpal charms OF the Gainsborough We

KENNEBEC COUNTY CROPS.

Not all the big potato crops of Maine
are raised IN Aroostook county. Bur
ton NJ. Cross and George L. Weeks of
Augusta together have a field of II
acres which will yield over 1000 bushels
of potatoes. They now have 16 men
digging them by hand. Mr.. Weeks,
himself, dug 116 bushels in one day
which is record digging in these parts.
They will store them for better prices.
Mr.. Cross is carrying on farm of 500
acres. He will sell $50 tons of hay this
season. He has recently built two
barns, 4Ox50 feet each. Hon. John A.
Spear of West Gardiner is another far
mer who has gone into potato raising.
He is harvesting crop of 1900 bushels.
George r. Smith, register of deeds,
has one Of the novel crops OF the coun-
ty. The product is all squashes. There
will be about 10000 of them. He has
farm in Vassaiboro, which he has been
experimenting with for two seasons.
Last year he went into the potato bust
ness as a sort of farm fad and it de-
veloped beyond all expectations. He
pulled out 1000 bushels of the tubers
and sold them all, landed at the depot,
for LOS a bushel. So it will be seen
that he Melted quite sum. These pota-
toes were planted amid an orchard of
1,700 apple trees, mostly new ones, and
it was feared that another crop in the
same place might injure the roots OF
the trees, so this year he decided to
plant Hubbard squashes, partly to kill
off the witch grass and weeds that had
begun to manifest themselves very
plenteously. He expects to house about
Sc tons of these squashes. He has raised
so many that he has been at loss what
to do as his storehouse is not suitable
for keeping them into the winter. Last
winter squashes brought $40 and $50 a
ton and if the same price prevails this
year he will make a tolerably good
thing.

The islands and indentations of the
Maine coast are as fascinating study
for the map-maker as they are for the
tourist. Reproduced in the black, blue,

Survey the intricacies of outline and

which is included in the boundaries of
Hancock County, is the subject of a

cooperation with the State of Maine
and the United States Coast and

with the State of Maine; the triangula-

the topography was the work of the
