ant, no longer the cold man Of the
world. Back to Brewster's mind came
the thought of his quarrel with Bar
bara and Of her heartlessness. A
scratch of the pen one way or the 9TH
er could change the life of Barbara
Drew. The two bankers stood by,
scarcely breathing. Prom outside came
the shuttle Of many feet and the muf-
fed roll Of voices. Again the door to
the private Office opened and q clerk
excitedly motioned for Mr.. Moore to
hurry to the front Of the bank Moore
paused irresoiuteiJ, his eyes on Brew
ster's face. The young man knew the
time had come when he must help or
deny them.
Like a flash the situate was made
clear to him, and his duty was plain.
He remembered that the Bank of Man
haitian Island held every dollar that
Mrs. Gray and Peggy possessed Their
meager fortune had been intrusted to
the care Of Prentiss Drew and his as
sociates, and it was in danger
81 will do all I can, colonel" said
Monty, but upon one condition"
''That is?"
Barbara must never know Of this
The colonels gasp Of establishment
was cut short as Monty continued,
Promise that she shall never know
II don't understand. but if it is your
wish I promise"
Inside of half an hours time several
hundred thousand came to the relief
of the struggling bank, and the man
who had come to watch the run with
curious eyes turned out to be its saw
Tor. His money won the day for the
Bank Of Manhattan Island. When the
happy president and directors offered
to pay him an astonishingly high rate
of interest for the use of the money
he proudly declined.
The next day Miss Drew issued in
vitations for cotillon. Mr. Mont
gomery Brewster was not asked to at
tend.

BETTER ROADS.

Referring again to the new method
Of treating the earth roads by the use
Of the road drag, it is interesting to
note with what remarkable rapidlty
the idea is spreading. Thousands OF
miles of the worst dirt roads In the
west are by this process being trans
formed into splendid highways at a
most trifing expense. The plan is TAX
ing with the farmers everywhere, and
another year will see the plan gener-
ally adopted all over the country and
contracts let each spring by the town
ship authorities to have all the roads
in each township dragged at the proper
time throughout the season. The plan
is also being taken up by many towns
for the care of the dirt streets and with
the greatest success and satisfaction.
1t is a cheap and practical solution Of
one of the most difficult problems
which face nearly all communities,
whether municipal or urban. No mat
ter what state you live in, If you have
bad earth roads it will pay to look
this plan up.

FLOWING CORN.

We are asked how many times 1t pays
to pillow corn. This is good deal like
asking how often a man should kiss
his wife. In general way it may be
said that corn can never be cultivated
too much from the time the rows can
be seen until it tassels out, and quite
often it happens that surface culti-
walton after the silks have formed will
do more for the crop than any which
it has previously had. This in a dry
season. Some men think they have
done their full duty by their corn crop
if they give it three plowings; Others
give four or FIVE. some let it go at two,
but the fact remains that the more
frequent and thorough the cultivation,
Of this crop the better it will be.

Each excited group was visited in

These men and women were there to

desperate.
Colonel Drew, outwardly calm and

saw Brewster and his companions. He

that Monty come to the presidents pri-

ALI importations of animal bird and
insect life are in a way violation OF
natural law, for the reason that ALL
such forms Of life have in their native
country some agency to properly hold
them in check, and this is hardly ever
imported with them. If the conditionsl
are favorable to the increase of such
Imported life it is easy to see that il
NAV soon become pest unh1ndered BY
it's natural checks. This is very, clearly
seen in the case of the importation Of
the English rabbit into Australia, there
being there none of the rabbits natu-
raj enemies to be found, such as weal

being abundant and climatic condi@

day. In the case of the English SPAR
row imported into this country the
same thing is true. In England the
common house cat is the natural ene-
my Of the sparrow and does more thar
any other one agency to hold this pest
in check. There for hundreds Of years
the cat has been acquiring the sparrGW
habit and will climb trees and the Corr
nices of buildings in search OF thetK
young, while the American cat hardly
knows enough to catch one in bush or
on the lawn when it has the chance.

SUCCESS WITH POTATOES.
A man in southern Minnesota wants
to know how he can raise 400 bushels
of potatoes to the acre. He says that
the average crop of his locality is'
about 1875 bushels per acre. He can
not do it on old and poor land. He
cannot do it unless he Is willing to
spray his crop and protect 1t from
blight and insect pests. He should
have preferably a piece Of new hazel
brush or timber land or clover sod
turned over the previous season in
September, with the second crop turn
ed under. On this field he should put
twenty loads of well rotted stable ma
nure with spreader early In the
spring, then disk both ways and Sc,
cure garden-like condition Of the
soil He should plant in drills three
feet apart, the one-half of good
sized potato sixteen inches apart in
the row. The field should be dragged
every day when it is dry from the
time the potatoes are planted until the
vines are six inches high. This should
be followed by repeated cultivation,
killing the vines slightly until the
vines are in bloom and, should the
weather be dry, with surface cultiva-
ton afterward. If he sprays at the
proper time to head off the blight and.
the bugs in addition to the foregoing
he will come very near getting his 400
bushels
