And he pleaded so ardently and so
earnestly that he won his point even
though II grew out of whim that she
could not then understand. She was
not to learn until afterward his object
in having the marriage take place on
the morning Of Sept. 49, two hours be-
fore the time set for the turning over
Of the sedgwicls millions. II all went
well they would be Brcwster's millions
before II O'clock, and Peggy's life Of
poverty would cover no more than
three hours OF time. She believed him
worth lifetime Of poverty. SO they
would start the new life with but one
possesslon-lov
Peggy rebelled against his desire TO
spend the $40 that still remained. but
he was firm In his determination They
would dine and drive together and see
all OF the old life that was left-on $40.
Then on the next day they would start
all over again. There was one rude mo
ment OF disinay when II occurred TO
him that Peggy might be considered
an asset" II she became his wife be-
fore O'Clock. But he realized at once
that II was only demanded Of him that
he be pennllcss and that he possess no
object that had been acquired through
the medium OF Edwin Peter Brewster's
money. Surely this wife who was not
to come to him until his last dollar was
gone could not be the product OF an old
mans legacy. But SO careful was he In
regard to the transaction that he decid-
ed to borrow money Of Joe Bragdon to
buy the license and TO pay the minis
ter's fee. Not only would he be penni-
less on the day Of settlement, but he
would be In debt. SO changed was the
color Of the world to him now that even
the failure to win Sedgwlck's millions
could not crush out the new life and
the new Joy that had come to him with
the winning Of Peggy Gray.

MARYLAND'S BIG CORN CROP

"The Sun" has published recently
reports from officials Of the Western
Maryland aud the Maryland and
Pennsylvania Railroads telling of the
enormous yield of corn in those coun-
ties Of this State through which those
roads pass. The increased yield is
attributed in part, and no doubt justly
80, to the more careful selection OF
seed last spring due to the "eorn
specials" which were run on those
roads. The year has been most favor
able to the growth of corn, and re-
ports of splendid crop come from
every part of the State. 1t is est-
mat ed that the average annual yield
of corn to the acre in Maryland is
bout six barrels. or 30 bushels. 1t
is believed that tie yield this year is
at least 40 per cent above this average.
If hat estimate is correct, then the
Maryland crop this year is over 40
bushe to the acre, and this is as
great as the average yield in any
State Of the Union, including the
great corn States of the Mississippi
Valley, as given in the census Of
1900.
Such a yield of corn will doubtless
attract the attention of the country to
the possibilities of the Maryland farms.
In the Middle We and Northwest
lands many times more remote from
market, and where the climate is
rigorous and all the conditions of life
are harder, cost far more than lands
in parts of Maryland. Recognizing
this fact, there has already set in
stream of immig ration, and in many
of the tidewater counties Western
farmers have fought lands. These
settlers among US are said to be pros
porous and we'll satisfied with their
homes. Not only do they help to
cultivate our surplus lands, but it is
an advantage to the State in many
ways to have them as citizens. They
are, as a rule, intelligent and indus
trious people and good farmers.
Many of their methods are new to our
people, and the Maryland farmers
will be quick to adopt whatever is
good, and thus one good farmer will
improve a whole community and in
crease the productiveness of a wide
area Of land. In seine of the lower
counties good farm land is selling far
below its real vrlue. This country,
although it has been settled since the
middle of the seventeenth century, is
still too sparsely populated, and it is
an inviting field for industrious and
skillful farmers.
