Yes. Clint Bayland understood, and
he understood the significance of
small roll which Battlesea's hand
dropped carelessly upon his desk as
he turned and went out. 1t was first
installment for his reputation. And
Clara FaxOn, the most beautiful girl
in twenty miles round, was the daugh-
ster"of the old man whom Battlesea
would be glad to help.
He, walked irritably to the window
of the Office and looked out, not dar-
ing to trust his eyes with a second
glance at the small roll on his desk.
He did need the money, sorely, more
than he would care to have any one
know And 1t was only an indication
of what would come. With Battlesea,
who owned more mine and town prop.
'erty than any ten men in the country,
as his friend, his prosperity would be
assured.
But somehow, the thought of the
prosperity did not give him the pleas
Wre that it ought. Oddly enough his
mind went over the snow-clad peaks

and from her to-Clara Faxon. What
would they think?

Office door, and handsome young fell

OF the runabout was Clara FaXon.

"Oh, Mr.. Bayland," she cried i'm
petuously, before he could speak:
Papa, and Mr.. Battlesea are so angry
with you. l thought you must have
done something dreadful from the
way they have been talking; but this
morning I learned just how it was,
and hurried here thinking you might
feel bad at their being angry. You
did nobly, and Everybody ought to
be proud of you. I-I--" She
stopped suddenly, confusedly, for he
had caught both her hands and was
gazing into her eyes in a way that
could not be misunderstood. Her
breath quickened little, then the
eyes met his squarely, and the hands
were not withdrawn.

A Modern Convenience.

When Albert Bigelow Paine, the ex
perinced author of "The Van Dwell
ers," was looking about him for a
home in suburban New York before
he found his nest on Long Island, he
was interviewed by farmer who had
house to sell somewhere up the
country. He described the place in
sunset and sunrise and green field and
yellow grain colors, and Mr.. Paine
listened.
HAS the house any of the modern
cOnveniences?" he asked.
"You bet it has," replied the farmer
with enthusiasm.

Faxon's was no better. The only diff
ference was that old Faxon believed
implicitly in his mine, while Battle.
sea did not So in selling, at what
ever price, one would be honest and
the other a self-conscious swindler.
From FaxOn's mine, Clint went
straight to Deele's, quarter of a
mile away, expecting the same result.
But when he left it, late in the after
noon. there was a strange look on his
face. He had examined many mines,
some of them very rich, but none had
been like Deele's. If he made a con.
scientious report this would be the
mine sold. at a fabulous price, and
Deele, from being merely a prosper
GUS man, would become an immense
ly rich one. Moreover, it would make
Battlesea his bitter enemy, and prac.
tically would mean his ruin at this
place. And ruin, of course, meant los
ing whatever chance he had of win

The wrinkles were deep in his fore.
head when he entered the Office and
dropped down at his desk, his head
upon his arms. He wanted to think,
to reason the thing out in sensible,
practical manner, but could not. His
mother kept slipping in between him
and his thoughts, and with her came
Clara Faxon. He knew what his
mothers searching eyes meant, and
he fancied there was something in
the girls straight gaze that looked
out upon life in much the same way
But she was on the other side of the
black gulf, and he must step across
to reach her. Once there, by her side,
! with those eyes as inspiration, be felt
there could be no heights too great,
no plains too broad for them to com.
pass together.
1t was long, bitter fight, lasting
through the night and into the gray
dawn OF the next day; but in the end
his mother won, and with haggard
face he made the small roll into a
secure package and returned it to
Battlesea by his Office boy, stating II
was something that had been left in
his office by mistake. Then from his
: notes he made out the reports for the
three mines.
One afternoon, week later, while
writing to the management of min
ing company in another state in re
gard to a position. he heard someone
enter, but. thinking it the Office boy
did not turn. Then:

shade more friendly. Perhaps even
Battlesea and Mr.. Deele- But, pshaw!
and he turned abruptly and went back
into the Office. At the desk he stood
for fully minute gazing down at the
roll, the fine wrinkles again coming
between his brows. Then with an
impatient movement he swept the roll
into his desk and turned the key.
Some chance visitor might come in
and notice it lying there.
The next day his examination of
Battlesea's mine turned out as he
feared-the property was absolutely

She stood breast high amid the corn
Clasped by the golden light of morn
Like the sweetheart of the sun,
Who many glowing kiss had WON.
On her cheek an autumn flush,
Deeply ripen'd-Such a blush
In the midst of brown was born.
Like red peoples grown with corn.
Round her eyes her tresses fell.
Which We're blacklist none could tell

a sale, forgetting that he has
probably made his last sale to
that particular person. The town
poultryman knows that the eggs
he markets are fresh, is prepared
to guarantee them as such. and,
in consequence, demands and re-
celves the highest market price.
When he markets poultry he
selects those which he has pre-

never markets four and five year

them reach that age. These are

As TO Failure in Poultry.

No one will question the advan-
tage the farmer has over the
man in town when it comes to
poultry raising. Chief among
these advantages is his ability to
raise the bulk of the food needed
by the poultry, and thus obtain
it at the lowest possible cost.
Notwithstanding this, there are
many cases where farmers fail
to make a success Of the work.
while, perhaps. in nearby town
some one or more men are max
ing a success OF the work, and
have to pay market prices Tor all
the feed the poultry consume.
While one of the causes of fail
ure on the part of the farmer is
frequently carelssSnesS in handl-
ing his poultry. or ignorance Of
their needs, the main trouble is
that he will not study the wants
Of the consumer.
The eggs he takes TO his custo-
mers are picked up in all sorts of
places and he is not certain
whether they have been laid, a
day or a month. When he de-
cides to market some carcasses
