CHAPTER XII.

"A T about this time Hetty Taun-
"a ston, having finished her even
"a ing task Of washing the sup
per dishes and putting the
kitchen in order, sat idly on little
bench beside the doorway Of her home.
Some pink roses hanging on a bush
near at hand attracted her attention.
then, after bending an ear in the direc-
ton her mother had taken to visit a
neighbor to assure herself that she was
not returning. arranged the blossom
coquettishly in the prim little knot of
hair wound tightly at the back Of her
head, saying softly: when I hear her
coming I'll throw them out. Happen
she'll not stay long now darkness hath
fallen"
Sounds Of approaching footsteps
crunching the earth heavily fell on her
ears, causing the girl to put her hand
to her head guiltily. Then as merry
whistle broke out on the evening air
she sank back with an appearance Of
relief, leaving the roses untouched.
"Pah! IT'S Simon" she exclaimed.
II might ha' known the sound of his
clumsy footballs! Lord knows I ha'
heard them often enough. The callant's
forever a-passingw
Presently Kempster reached the gar
den gate, paused and, peering through
the gloom, saw the glimmer of white
kerchief.
"Hetty, list thou?" he said as he came
toward her.
YEA, Simon, who else but dreary
me, pining all alone?" she said, rising,
with an affected sigh. "Wilt enter Z?
The air Is chill"
Stepping into the kitchen, she lighted
a candle that stood in readiness on a
small table and, setting two chairs near
the doorway, motioned to her visitor
who stood hesitatingly at the threshold
to be seated and took the other one her.

Farmers in Indiana are meeting with
much success in the growing of alfal-
ia by putting lime on their lands
where this crop is sown. Sour soils
are death to both clover and alfalfa,
and lime corrects this condition. This
idea is worth noting where alfalfa
fails.
