CHAPTER l.


The great bell Of Beaulicu was ring
ing. Far away through the forest
might he heard its musical clangor
and swell Peat cutters on Blackdown
and fishers upon the Exc heard the
distant throbbing and falling upon the
Sultry summer air. 1t was common
sound i'm those partS-as common a.
the chatter of the jays and tie boom
ing of the bittern. Yet the fishers ana
the peasants raised tLeir heads and
looked questions at each other for the
Angelus had already gone and Vespers
was still far off. Why should the
great bell of Beaulieu toll when the
shadows were neither ,ort nor long?
All round the Abbey tie monks
were troOping in Under the long,
green-paved avenues of gnarled oaks
and of lichened beecheS the whito-
rObed brothers gathered to the sound.
It had been no sudden call. swift
messenger had the night efore sped
round 10 the outlying dependencies of
the Abbey. and had left the summons
for every monk to be back in the
clOiSters by the third hour after noon
tide. So urgent a message had not
been issued within the mopory of old
Lay-Brother Athanasius. who had
cleaned the knocker since the year
after the Battle Of Bannackburn.
Meanwhile. in the broad an lofty
chamber set apart for occasions Of
import. the Abbot himself was pacing
impatiently backward and forward,
with his long. white. nervous hands
| clasped i'm front of hi. His thin,
| thoughtworn features and Sunken.

/ indeed beaten down that inner foe
whom every man must face. but had
none the less suffered Sorely i'm the
| contest In crushing hi passions he
| had well-nigh crushed himself. Yet
| frail as was his person, there cleaned
| ont ever and anon from under his
| dropping brows a flash of fierce energy
! which recalled to mems minds that he
/ came of fighting stock, and that ever
now his twin brother, Sir Bartholomew
| BergherSh. was one of the most IA
nous of those stern warriors who haC
planted the Cross of st George before
the gates of Paris. With lips com
pressed and clouded brow, he strod'
up and down the Oaken floor, the very
impersonation of asceticism, while
the great bell still thundered anC
! changed above his head. At last the
uproar died away in three last meas
| ured throbs, and ere their echo had
| ceased the Abbot struck a small gong
which summoned a lay-brother to his
| presence.
"Where is the master of the nov
ices?"
"Ie ie without. most holy father
"Send him hither."
! The sandalled feet clattered over the
wooden floor, and the iron-bound
door creaked upon its hinges. I'm q
few moments it opened again to ad
nit a short, square monk with
heavy, composed face and authm
itative manner.

father?"

This showing of the Department Of
Agriculture, while 1t makes a COM
paratively small inroad upon the vast
consumption of sugar in the more
densely populated region east of the
Mississippi, yet indicates that the
young beet-sugar industry is making
substantial progress, and that con-
sidering the uncertainty of legislation
and the great cost of beet-sugar fac
tory investments, very satisfactory ad-
vances are being made in this new
American enterprise.

70 produce the maximum yield of
which the land is capable. n few
years ago the man who would have
said that 10 acres of farm land was
sufficient area for a man to make
good living from would have been
looked upon as a crank. Now there
are thousands of little 10 acre and even
. acre farms from which men are
making more money than many
others are from attempting to till 20
times that amount. That 10 acres,
under favorable conditions, will pro
duce q living is recognized in bill
wi ich has Just been passed by the
House of Representative and which
will likely be passed by the Senate at
this session. 1t is an amendment to
the National Irrigation Law. Under
that law the homestead entry upon
public land irrigated by the govern
ment ranges from 40 to 160 acres, to
be determined by the Secretary of the
Interior, according to the conditions OF
the reclamation. 1t was recognized,
at the time of the passage of the law
| in o02, that in some sections of the
country 40 acres was an ample area
for farm. 1t is now seen, and ad-
mitted in the bill above mentioned
that 10 acres is not too small sub
division under favorable conditions.
Another amendment was recently
made to the irrigation law allowing
the government to establish town-sites
and divide the land hereunder up
into various sized tracts ranging
from town-lots to 10 acre allotments.
When this bill which is now before the
Senate becomes a law it will there
fore be possible for the government,
in any of its irrigation projects to di-
vide and sub-divide its land into
town and farm units ranging all the
way from lots up to 100 acre farms.
MODEM RURAL SETTLEMENTS
This plan will doubtless develop
some of the finest examples OF pros,
porous rural communities to be 1Ouhu
anywhere in the world. Many OF the
best developed sections of some Oh
the western states include great
numbers of little farms and fruit
ranches of 8, 10 and 20 acres each'
where the appearance Is almost IKE
the outskirts of a village. With such
a dense rural population there is an
ideal combination of practically all
the advantages to be found In city
life and the splendid results of country
work and living. Houses. in such
community, are almost within stone
throw of each other, the population IS
sufficiently large to support splendid
roads, good school and churches, water
and lighting Improvements. good
sewerage, etc. Thus the lonesome
ness. the isolation and the many I'M
attractive features of the big farm dis
appear while yet the joys and the
wholesomeness of country life are all
present. -,
The report accompanying this bill
states that since the passage OF the
Irrigation act. it has developed that
on some of the lands to be irrigated,
particularly those in fruit and truck
farming districts, less than 40 acres
Is needed for the support of the family,
and in fact experience has demon
strated that the average farmer Is
more prosperous on a small than on
large irrigated farm. In view OF this:
condition Of affairs 1t has been deemed
wise to reduce to 10 acres the mini
mum entry which may be allowed

RIachine OF rrench 1anuIacture.
OF all the automobiles ever turned

the one lately made for Capt. Lars

journeys and in point of speed equals
any of the present-day touring cars.
The Anderson car is fitted out with
reversible furniture. There is a COM

is a cook stove and dining table ar

a moments notice. The whole ma

NET PRINCE CHARMING.

General Grants daughter made
tour of Europe soon after she formally
entered society, and everywhere re-
ceived the most distinguished atten-
tions from the royal families of Great
Britain and the Continent. On the
way home on the steamer Russia she
met Mr.. Sartoris, the Prince Charming
who was later to win her heart and
hand. From the moment that the en-
gagement of Miss Grant was an
nounced the whole American people
manifested an interest in the bride-to-
be which never found a parallel save
in the enthusiasm for Alice Roosevelt.
The fact that the lucky man was an
Englishman and not a citizen OF the
republic, while it was matter of deep
regret to many persons, including
President Grant himself, was not al
lowed to cast a damper upon the joyous
occasion. Mr.. Algernon Sartoris was

Grant was only nineteen when, on

SKETCH OF THE LOVELY WHITE
HOUSE BRIDE OF THE DAYS
OF GENERAL GRANT.

She Met Algernon Sartoris, Her
Future Husband. on Shipboard on
Return European Irip-lS Mother
OF Three Children.
No American girl, not even President
Roosevelt's daughter, ever had more
brilliant wedding than Nellie Grant,
the beloved child of the great Civil
War hero; yet of late years the public,
which has always taken kindly inter-
est in Gen. Grants family, has heard
comparatively little OF his only daugh-
ter.
When Mrs. Julia Dent Grant, widow
of the President, was living, her
daughter spent much time with her
mother at the latter's home in the city
of Washington, but since the death OF
her mother Mrs. Nellie Grant SartOris
can scarcely be said to have had fixed
residence in any American city. How
ever, she has always been very fond
of st. Louis, and she made her home in
the Missouri metropolis during most OF
the time the recent Worlds Fair was
in progress there.
Possibly the liking of Mrs. Sartoris
for st. Louis is to be attributed to the
fact that her birth, in August, 1855,
occurred at her Grandfather Dents
country home near st. Louis, the BIRTH
place of her mother. When General
Grant was elected President, and in
deed during the first three years that
he and his wife lived at the White
House, the daughter was at school
Toward the close of President Grants
first term, however, Miss Nellie made
her social debut at the Presidential
mansion, and her cadet brother, home
from West Point, was her escort and
companion.
