 She came to meet them in a pretty pink dress and slippers and white stockings.
 Fair lady, I bring thee flowers" " said Darrel, handing her a bouquet. They are from the great garden O. the fields"
 And I bring a crown" said Trove as he kissed her and put wreath of clover and wild roses on her brow.
 T thought something dreadful had happened" said Polly, with tears in her eyes For three days I've been dressed up waiting"
 "An' grand dress 1t is," said Dar- rel. surveying her pretty figure.
 I've nearly worn 1t out waiting," said she, looking down. her voice trem- bling.
 Tut tut, girl-'tis a lovely dress" the tinker insisted.
 Tt IS one my mother wore when she was a girl" said Polly proudly. Tt was made over"
 "0-oh, God love thee, childw said the tinker In a tone of great admiration. "'Tis beautiful"
 And you came through the woodsT' said Polly.
 Through wood and field" was Trove's answer.
 "I wonder you knew the way.-
 "The little god O love, he shot his arrows, an we followed them as the hunter follows the bee" said Darrel. Tt was nice of you to bring the flowers" said Polly. "They are beau tifui."
 But not like those in thy cheeks, dear child. Where is the good moth err said Darrel.
 "She and the boys are gone a-berry- ing. and I have been making jelly. We're going to have a party tonight tor your birthday"

 Tt is a bitter sorrow, but shall make the best of 1t" said Trove.
 Aye, make the best of 1t. Thou'rt now in the deep sea. an God guide thee"
 But ask your help. Will you read thatY said Trove, handing him the mysterious note that came with the roll of money.
 An how much came with itT' said Darrel as he read the lines.
 Three thousand dollars Here they are. do not know what to do with them"

 "No." said Darrel. shaking his head. Then lifting his finger and looking into the eyes of Trove he spoke slowly and with deep feeling. "Now that ye know his will. warn ye. boy, seek him no more.

 Darrel crossed to his bench and be, gan to wind the clocks.

 No; but I know 1t is he to whom you gave the boots 1t Christmas time 2
 Hush. bcy." said Darrel in . whis- per. his hand raised.
 He crossed to the bench, returning quickly and drawing his chair in front of the young man.
 "Once upon a time," he whispered, sitting down and touching the palm of his open hand with the index finger of the other, "a youth held in his hand a cup, rare an costly, an 1t was full O happiness, an he was tempted to drink. 'Ho, there, me youth said one who saw him, that is the happiness of another But he tasted the cup, an 1t was bitter, an he let 1t fall, an the other lost his great possession. Now, | that bitter taste was ever on the tongue O the youth, so that his own cup had always the flavor O woe, The tinker paused moment, look ing sternly into the face of the young l man.
 T adjure thee, boy, touch not the cup of another's happiness, or 1t may imbitter thy tongue. But If thou be foolish an take 1t up, mind ye do not drop it.
 T shali be careful-I shall neither taste nor drop it." said Trove:
 God bless thee. boy! Thou'rt come to great law-who drains the cup of another's happiness shall find 1t bitter, but who drains the cup of anothers bitterness shall find it sweet A silence followed, in which Trova sat looking at the old man whose words were like those of prophet. T have no longer any right to seek my father" he thought. And, though I meet him face to face, must let him go his way"
 Suddenly there came a rap at the door, and when Darrel opened 1t they saw only letter hanging to the latch. It contained these words. but no sigma ture:
 .There'll be a bonfire and some fun tonight at F in the middle of Cooks field. Messrs. Trove and Darrel are invited"
 Curious" said Darrel. Ut has the look O mischief"
 "Oh, it's only the boys and a bit of skylarking," said Trove. Let's go and see what's up. It's near the time"
 The streets were dark and silent as they left the shop. They went up a street beyond the village limits and looked of in Cooks field, but saw no

 slowness of his feet as Trovs
 descended. It was circus day and there wert few in the street. Nei ther looking to the right nor left he hurried to the bank of Hlllsborough and left his money. Then, mounting his mare. he turned to the wooded hills and went away at a swift gallop. When the village lay far behind them and the sun was. low he drew rein to let the mare breathe and turned, look ing down the long stairway of hills. Presently he could hear . gaIlopins horse and faint halloo down the val ley out of which he had just come.

Last week the beet sugar factory of
the Great Western Sugar company
broke its own record and all others in
the production of sugar for 1 600 ton
daily capacity plant. During the
twenty four hours of the record day
the factory turned out 4, 665 bags of
100 pounds each of high grade granu
lated beet sugar. At this rate 100
bags or 10, 900 pounds were manufac-
tured per hour, or 3A bags per min
ute. The high percentage of sugar in
this particular lot of beets had
much to do with this remarkable pro-

The sugar beet industry will be

loads of beets have been shipped from
Fruita, while there is probably five
cars more to go out. From Iona
little over 800 cars have been shipped
so far, with probably FIVE or ten cars
yet to be loaded. This year has truly
been great one in the beet industry
as well as in the fruit line. The beet
shipments have little more than
doubled since last year, we believe,
and there is much more satisfaction
among the growers than there was
last year. We look for greater yield
next year and we trust the growers
will realize abundant returns for their
labors. They certainly earn it if any
