TILE DRAINS.
How They Should Be Laid and De.
vice That Will Aid.

Where there is a sufficient grade,
there is little 10 contend with in lay
ing tile. From the point where the
water stands, the shortest possible
cut should be taken through the dry
land to the outlet. If, however, there
is a great deal of compact blue clay
between the marsh and the desired
outlet, it is sometimes more economi-
cal to run the ditch around these de-
posits than to attempt to cut through
them. If the ditch is cut through
such clay, it is advisable to fill in a
layer of coarse gravel just before fill
ing in the clay. This will prevent
the finer particles of the clay from
entering and stopping up the tile.
When the land is nearly level and
it is difficult to tell just where the
ditch should be run to "get the fall"
a simple device can be made similar
to the one shown. Take 2x6, 16 feet
long, and to the middle of this bolt
an upright piece four feet long, To

Have faith in me, Verbena," he Whis-
pered. Trust me! That's all that |
can ask now"
Verbena did not answer in words,
but she touched his lips with hers
for just an instant and drew away
from him. you've barely time to
catch that freight"
And so she hurried him off, and yet
the words that he carried with him
down the headlong slide of rocks
were: 81 do trust you; l do believe
you
1t was a curious betrothal, perhaps,
but Verbena never doubted for an
instant that She was betrothed to
John Cox A few months later, she
received a little sprig of verbena en-
closed in a blank sheet of paper. She
did not know that it had grown in
prison yard, and she accepted it as
a message that the waiting might be
long
There were many aspirants for Yer
benas hand freighted with the LON
bard acres and cattle. But Verbena
listened to none of them. She was
simply waiting.
Twice the best room was opened for
funerals, for Mrs. Lombard died soon
after her husband. Then more years
passed, and every day Verbena tend
ed her sanctuary.
At last love came to her there.
Just at nightfall, when Verbena was
closing the house, she saw an unfa-
miliar figure coming toward her. And
yet her heart had recognized it. In
stead. she turned and unlocked the
best room and threw the door wide
open.
For was it not in the best room
that all girls received their-their

Verbena was looking at him close
ly. thinking how little he had changed
since that first morning in the old
schoolroom. Possibly her mind led
his back there, for he said: do you
remember that first morning at
school? 1 wondered even then if
should ever be free to ask you to
marry me. Now | am free, and you
you are just as adorable, just as

Labor of the Novelist.

"The way of the novelist must be
hard" said a librarian of an uptown
branch. 'The other day an immacu-
lately gotten up individual came into
the library and announced that he
was writer with a speciality of dia-
lect stories We got him several books
that he asked for, and little by little
he took me into his confidence. I

They were hardly in their saddles,
but Verbena was already off. 1t seem
ed to him that they rode for hours.
Then they began to climb ever so
slightly, the pace to slacken ever so
little.
At last she stopped and slid from
the horse. From here, your way
