An hour later the old mother, carrying ner ,i oiu
black iron candlestick, came slipping softy ln'o
the little closet where her daughter lay at the heao
of the stairs Hidden under the girls pillow was
the little fairy book and her black eyes were tuii
of dreams but far from sleep
"Rachei kleine," said the old woman, softly,
"how is It you make so mean by your fader ana

"Mooder" Rachel whispered, her hand In her
mothers maybe so have anoder feler yet"
The mother crushed back the cry Of surprise and
alarm that rose to her lips. 'vhat is he of manner"
she asked cunningly.
"I do not know yet" answered the girl.

"Gute nacht."
Don't you say nodings. mooder" Rachel cried,
and the old woman promised with smile.
Being taken out of the public school was no
hardship to Rachel in her present frame Of mind.
Now she could sit almost the whole day the
bread box in the corner of her fathers shop, and
wait, half doing, wholly dreaming, for the coming

"Finf cent de halb dutzen," Rachel answered
shortly, still averting her face. She would give
this desplsed suitor no encouragement. 'I Will have

girl wrapped up the cakes, made the change and

to the old mother. who was vainly making angry
gestures at her daughter. Maybe so she feel bet

a sideways nod of the head toward the girl.
Thore was feminine curiosity enough about
Rachel to make her follow him to the door as he
went out Through the dusty glass she saw him
climb over the wagon wheel and standing erect in
the box urge the old white horse up the street.
AS It turned the corner she heard his low-ptched,
cadences
'Recks unit olt ar-r-uni Recks ot ar-r-r-un!"
That evening, after the shadows had fallen
thickly into the stretches of Bunker Street. the
three people In the bake-shop heard again the voice
OF Yakob, rising by way of serenade to his sweet
heart. The old father skunk to the window and
peered out.

ing no part in the conversation. Yakob did most
of the talking, telling of the old life at home in
Posen, Of how much better chance man had here
In Chicago and Of his own prospects. And all the
time his eager eyes were watching the dim corner
where, in the purple shadows cast by the shade of
the old blackened brass lamp, Rachel sat silently
her plump lips pouting and her big black eyes
flashing angrily when she moved slightly in her
chair, SO that the light fell upon her face She
was very young and childlike in her dark Oriental
beauty, and Yakob liked her the better for the
high spirit she displayed.
Into his ardent face came all the patience and
the fiery perststency OF his race and the while he
talked he vowed, by the beard of the Prophet that
sooner or later and at whatever cost he would win
Rachel for his wife. When he got up to go the
old father walked with him into the shop and there
he made his formal proposal for the hand of the
girl

turned to the back room that shall be your hus-

But Rachel though she was In great fear of her
father. only shook her head and bit her lip the
harder and cried, Il Will not" until the old man
thundered forth In rage against her.
''You shall go no more by the Krist sohue" he
cried. "You shall stay by de shop / will teach you

BEHIND THE SHOP.

OF the happy young Prince. But the Prince seemed
strangely slow about making his appearance. On
those rare occasions when the shop-bell tangled to
announce the entrance of strange man, she closed
her black eyes quickly and leaned her dusby head
back against the WALL that he might find her Sleep

pointed and 1t took repeated rereadings of the lit
Tie fairy book to keep strong her belief that
or later he would surely come
Meanwhile Yakob Stransky proved a most per-
sistent and most tactfu suitor. One or two
mornings each week he came smiling into the bake
shop TO display his sack of coin and reckessly in
vest in liebkuchen. Gradually Rachel's resent
ment gave way to acquiescence and then to a GER
tain pleasure In his regular calls She even went
SO rar once or twice as to his flashing smile
and TO exchange bits of banter with him across the
counter. He was handsome young man and he
had a pleasant way with him But always sooner
or later there came into her mind the awful thou
that she was thus showing disoyalty to her absent
lover Then, like flash, she turned into a cold
and naughty young princess and sent Yakob away
puzzled but still determined.
OFTEN In the evenings, he sat for hours In the
little room beind the shop, chatting with the old
people and now and then asking a question which
Rachel found II on her lips to answer. Into her
heart came growing fondness for the devoted
fakob, and IL was harder and more painful to pun-
ish the traitor thought II deserved. Constantly
she prayed that the Prince might come quickly to
save her from such treachery

early spring, it can be fed much earlier
than Oct. 1. Kale would probably
be an excellent winter feed also for
hogs and poultry. 1t does best on well
manured, deep, rich loans and sandy
soils. The only objection to the use OF
kale is the difficulty of getting it out OF
the field when the ground is wet and
muddy. For this reason well drained
land should be selected upon which to
plant this crop.
Where the weather is quite cold kale
is not sufficiently hardy to stand out
during the winter, and its use as a
soiling crop would be limited to the

EXPERT METHODS.
Plan For Testing the Quality Of Seed
Corn,


Corn.
Professor Holden, the western corn
expert has been making the rounds of
the New England farm and New York
state meetings, as reported in Ameri-
can Cultivator. Besides describing his
method of selecting seed corn, the pro
fessOr advances other ideas with re-
gard to New England farm methods.
He advocates growing the cattle feeds
on the farm and insists that eastern
farmers will grow more dent corn and
that alfalfa will soon be considerably
grown here If farmers will thoroughly
drain the soil to a sufficient depth to
make the soil sweet, thoroughly pull
verize it and make Il firm, solid seed
bed, sowing the seed early in August.
Foes to the Corn Field.
Professor Holden told of his own
work among the farmers of the west
by taking them right into their fields
and by personal inspection showing
them how they We're farming at a
sacrifice, in that their fields were pro
ducing but a fractional part of what
they might be producing if every hill
were filled and every stalk were pro-
ductive. He showed the difference in
the acreage with one, two and three
good ears to n hill and thereby led
up to the conclusion that the great
source of loss in corn production is
the poor seed which so many farmers
use. either through carelessness or
false economy.
Testing the Corn.
Coming down to the point in hand. he
presented plan for testing the quail
ty Of seed corn by determining its ger
nina ting power. showing those present
the manner in which he was enabled
to select the good ears and reject the
bad by use of a terminating box. In
which, In separate compartments. sam
pie kernels from different ears were
placed and their terminating power

being filed with moist sawdust, a layer
Of thin muslin placed thereon and all
packed down, the kernels then placed
in the different compartments, covered
with another thin piece of muslin. with
more sawdust on top. and again pack
ed down. In due time examination
shows the real terminating value of
the samples from the different ears.
and it is easy to decide which ears to
use for seed and which to reject.

DRAGGING THE ROAD.
How the Highways Can Be Improved
at Small Expense.

~ SSuSU eAP0USos
In writing Of the road drag in Motor
News j. c. Wing of Missouri says:
1t takes courageous man to start
something new in farming cOmmu-
nifty. AS Il class we farmers resist in
novations almost to the extent of max
ing ourselves absurd in the eyes of an
intelligent public. 1t is surprising with
what bulldog tenacity we hang to ira
ditions. old methods and scrub stock.
But the drag is sweeping us toward Il
brighter day.
Dragged after each rain, when the
mud works nicely and does not stick
to the drag, Il road will acquire during
the season such thick, compact
hide" that it will turn water, resist
the action of frost and remain hard
and smooth throughout the year. The
more it is travelled the better it will be.
provided it is dragged after each rain.
Every time the dust paste is spread
over the surface and then beaten down
and hardened the road is improved.
The writer has piece of road that has
been dragged for two years. Its shell
Is SO thick and hard that it can scarce

You can wager that the bottom will
not fall out of this road, no matter
how wet the spring may be. 1t was
tested the last spring by weeks Of
rainy weather, but it held its own.
Other roads We're impossible. Their
bottoms fell out, and they would mire
