%WA he little playfellow alluded to
by Mr.. Bedington was Emily
III Scratchley. At his particular
request she had been invited
to spend a week at Willow Copse, and
her parents had been only too glad to
allow her 10 accept the invitation. She
was delighted TO meet her old friend
again and called him dear old jack
as she gave him a kiss and asked after
her camphOr bag.
Il like Emmy" said Jack to Blocks,
the butler, with whom he was great
friends. "She is such a jolly girl"

the sort of girl that boys like.
Emily happened to be in the house
when Mr.. CrawcOur came, and, hear

Jack to tell him the news. Jack was

II Paw. TO Use EertlIlzlna Salt

G. w. Loveioy of Hardwick, Vt, tells
how he increased his crop of oats by
the use of Salt. Read his letter: zone
year ago | put 500 pounds of your Salt
on two acres that the year before cut
less than 300 pounds of hay, and sowed
to peas and oats and raised 10 one horse
loads. l put 1900 pounds on three
acres that had been plowed and
cropped about 10 years and on that
had heavy crop of oats, and this year
put on 1900 pounds more and had
heavy crop of oats. used So worth of
Salt this year and got crop of oats
worth 500. 1t pays to buy Fertilizing
Salt" The Salt used was purchased
of @. S. Page, Hyde Park, vt, who is
selling his this years product at the
very low price of $3.50 per ton, f. o. b.
cars at his station. Farmers who are
obliged to purchase fertilizers can mako
no better investment than to buy a few
tons of this Salt.

She pressed her hand to her fore

Three weeks after the events we
have narrated Mr.. and Mrs. Bedington
and their only son Jack were to be
seen every morning on the parade at
Brighton. Mr.. and Mrs. Bedington
We're very happy couple, and Mrs.
Bedington did all that she could to
make up for her former neglect to her
son. In fact, her love for the young
Lord MOrdentield seemed to have cen
tered in Jack. Not a word was said
which could recall the past.
Jack did not forget his young friend
Emily, who was still his sweetheart,
and corresponded with her regularly.
He was his mothers pet and did as he
liked, except Il few hours of the day
when he attended a tutor who was
keeping him up to his work. His pro
pensities for mischief slightly abated.
but he got into scrapes occasionally,
from which his father eXtricated him.
Boys will be boys" he said
You can't put old heads on young
shoulders" said his mother.
And so Jack did much as he liked.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bedington returned to
Willow Copse Hall and lived rath,r Il
retired life. Owing to Lord Morden-
fields death and the declaration of
Mr.. Bedingtons former marriage with
her ladyship, the heir-at-law claimed
the property but Mr. Bedington bought
Willow Copse and was enabled to
maintain his wife in a manner suitable
to her requirements.
When Mr.. Crawcour heard that they
had come back. he lost no time in pay
ing them visit. Although he had de-
termined to govern his school upon
new principles, he could not lose his
unctuous manner He was the same
principal of Pomona House that he
had always been. Mr.. Bedington saw
him in his library.
"Well, sir" he said rather coldly,

son, Jack Harkaway."
"Of that fact l am already aware
but in future my son will be called

What success the scholars are to
have In their crusade for 1.-The duodeci-

For centuries the duodeclmal has been
known in algebra and the higher math-

system into the arithmetics of the
schools and into shops, the counting
house and all the commercial and trad

gathering Of mathematical teachers
may be found a strong sentiment for
the popular displacement of the deci-
NAL by the duodeclmal system.
Deep-rooted though the decimal sys

pie, the duodecimallsts are not dis

awakening. No less than five of the

land who came together by chance the

cago expressed themselves as satisfied
that the time Is approaching when the
public interests will become so enor-

APES AS CASHIERS

Wise Animals Are Now Employed to
Test Coin in Siam.
III siam apes are now employed as
cashiers. A year or two ago much
base coin was circulated by clique
Of colners, and the tradesmen found
that 1t was a very difficult matter to
discriminate between good and bad
money, says the Lahore Qndla) Tnb-
une.
One large store kept pet monkey,
and one morning he was seen to take
coin from the cashiers desk and put
1t between his teeth. After biting IT
for some moments he threw 1t on the
floor with a solemn grimace Of dlssat-
isfaction.
The proprietor Of the store then
handed the monkey another coin. and
after testing it with great elaboration
he laid 1t on the cashiers desk.
Apparently the creature could tell a
counterfeit coin from good one, and
IN order to ascertain whether other
monkeys had the same extraordinary
grit couple of apes belonging to a
zoo were given the test, with satisfac-
tory results. From that day the ma
jority of the business houses In Slam
nave kept monkeys as cashiers. and
the gifted creatures have developed
the faculty Of discrimination between
good and bad coin to such perfection
that no human being can compete with
them.
A little while ago a monkey en-
ployed by a firm of clothlers died, and
his coffin, which was OF polished oak,
and conveyed to the cemetery in an
open hearse, was followed by all the
cashier monkeys in Siam.

huge blunder that he made-the blum

If he had not stopped and turned
