Prof. ]. d. Tinsley, soil expert,
who has been delegated by the A.

the territory organizing farmers
institutes and carrying on cooper
ative experiment work among the
farmers. is highly enthusiastic re-
garding the outlook for agriculture
al prosperity in this part of the ter

Il believe firmly that winter
wheat will become one OF your most
certain dry land crops in this vicin-
ity. You are certaid OF winter
moisture and your summer rains
never foil. With summer crops
some OF your rainy seasons may be
short enough to pinch them, but
there is little danger OF such la, X
with the winter crops.
There is do doubt about the

have been fairly astoundcd
in travelling both over the east and
over the territory to rialize the size
and force of the demand for cheap
western lands. The cause believe
is two fold. First, there are many
people in the crowded farming sec
tions of the east who have one or
two hundred acres of good land
which will sell at 500 an acre.
The temptation to sell this land
at a good figure and invest a small
part OF the money in western land
that will probably produce almost
as heavily, is too great to be with
stood.
Then there is a decidedly pro-
nounced desire on the part of hun
dreds of thousands of city toilers
who have saved a competence fol
a home. Some of these are ready
to snap up eastern high priced lands
while others want to come directly
to the west.
Whatever the reason, the de
mand for lands is here. | believ,
that so, 900 people will come into
Quay county within the next two
years. The important thing, o
course, is to get good people OF
your lands as soon as possible, anC

Had Ben acted on his own response

Gerald Tenby and have bluntly demanded
if the cousins had met, but Antonia quick

''No, no." she had said; I'VE must go

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children; it ruins a child's disposi-
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like a frebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostration, ner-
vous dependency, " the blues" sleep
lessness, and nervous irritability of
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, so that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you; all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive 70 light and sound
pain in the abdominal region, and
between the shoulders; bearing down
pains; nervous dyspepsia and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If SO, your nerves are in a shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra'
tion than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege'
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands of women can testify to this fact

II can be brave, and patient, too but,
oh this kind of trouble is so terrible. If
the earth had opened and swallowed him,
he could not have been lost more surely.
Oh, Ben Coop! Ben Coop! we must find
him :"
IF he is on earth lie shall be found,
miss said Ben; and then they both look
ed round in startled fashion, for the lady
who was sitting near gave a low cry and
sprang to her feet.
Antonia gave her a faint smile, and
called back the larger of the two dogs
that accompanied her, and that she saw
had approached closely to the lady's chair.
II am so sorry" she said; "but he is
only friendly; he will not hurt any one."
Sylvia Castella smiled back in forced
way.
"He startled me- she said, and then
she bowed, and turning, moved away.
She walked in mechanical fashion
back to where her carriage stood, and
once she paused and looked behind her.
But Antonia and her companion were pac-
ing on slowly together, and if they had
given any heed TO her, she was now for
gotten. Sylvia laughed bitterly.
This is evidently to be a day of sur
prise and remembrance" she said.
She drove away, bending her head
proudly to one or two men who recognized
her, and she went back to her luxurious
little home in a listless frame of mind. A
letter was waiting for her. 1t was in
Stanton's handwriting.
Il have what you desire. May I come
to you to-nisht? he wrote.
Sylvia Castella stood looking at the
words. She almost wished they had not
been written. How had he got the money?
Sylvia shivered suddenly.
She recalled his passionate words of
that time they had been together--that
fierce declaration that he would sink even
to crime If by so doing he could win her !
Acting on sudden impulse, she sent him
a telegram.
Impossible tonight. VIII see you to-
morrow
And she felt as if she were respited for
q time. But she was destined to be
taught new lesson.
AS she left the theater that night, after
having received her usual ovation, and
drove homeward, alone, a hanson follow
ed her carriage, and as she alighted at
her gate mans figure approached her,
and took off his hat.
"A bargain is bargain, Sylvia" Stan
ton said, in low voice, "and could not
wait till tomorrow"
"You cannot come in now. 1t is too
late," she said, hurriedly.
Stanton laughed as he held open the
gate.
AS in few days we shall be man
and wife, / can be allowed certain priv
ileges, Sylvia" he said. "But If you fear
TO shock your servants, we can talk in the
garden. The night is lovely, the air mild
it can do you no HARM"
Sylvia Castella paused an instant
ther, with a shrug of her shoulders, pass
ed up the path and entered the house.
Yet she shivered as she heard his step
behind her. She had the feeling upon
her that he was changed man-that for
her sake he had taken upon himself some
dark burden; and she was much nearer
the truth than she supposed.

CHAPTER XIV.

Sylvia Castella took counsel with her
self the day following that dinner with
Stanton. She was at first disposed to re-
gard his words in the light of imperti-
nence.
II shall have to see that money before
my eyes," Sylvia Castella mused, as she
lay on her pillow, lazily opening her let
fers. II shall have to be well assured
there is no trick before / give away my
freedom. am not sure that I'm not a
fool to tie myself down at all yet have
TO face the unpleasant truth that, despite
the fact of my seeming youth, am verg-
ing on that age which means the end of
all"
She expected to have seen Stanton dur
ing the day that followed; but he did
not come. In fact, she neither saw nor
heard of him for three days, and, wom-
an-like, Sylvia resented this.
''IIad she exacted too muchT she asked
herself.
This day, as she drove to some shops,
her mind was dwelling on the question of
George Stanton in manner that was irri-
tating to her.
When she left the shops she drove to
ks
ssarriage, and went to sit awhile on chair
snnder a shady tree.
Many eyes were drawn to her, and no
one gave her purer admiration than a
tall, slender, dark-eyed girl, who was
walking on the grass, with two dogs at her
heels. On her part, Sylvia found this
girl Very Pleasant to look upon. She ad-
mired the grace with which the girl NOV
ed, and the lines Of the white linen gown,
and when turn of the head revealed An
tonia's face, she felt her admiration deep
Hn.
Sylvia Castella felt puzzled; and this
feeling deepened when she saw the girl
move forward eagerly and greet middle
aged man, who came across the grass-a
man who looked as If he worked for liv-
fng.
From under the shade of her parasol
Sylvia watched Antonia greet this man.
She was near enough to catch their words,
and after the first sentence Sylvia smiled.
She thought she understood.
This was only the emissary of love, not
love itself. She listened intently. 1t was
a long, long time since she had been so
interested in anything.
1t was Antonia who spoke first.
'You have nothing TO tell me. can
read it in your face"
Ben sighed as he looked into Antonia's s
eyes mo news, miss-nothing only the
same awful fear, the same mystery"
"And last night l dreamed he was safe.
i seemed to feel should see him soon.
That was why / asked You TO come and
meet me here. wanted to be out in the
open air 10 have the good news. Lady
Charlotte wishes me 10 be out every morn

Don't, miss ~ he said, pleadingly. 1T

will come: il must cone--soon.'
Arto.ia threw back her head.
