CHAPTER II.

Meanwhile other changes were
working themselves to the front in
Salsport. To begin with, Theodore
had taken Roger in as office boy,
for the latter hal suddenly discov-
cred in himself decided penchant
for the law.
On one particular evening, he
started up the cemetery hill to-
wards his home rather dissatisfied
with life in general, and with the
quiet, restfulness Of Salsport in par
ticular. He had been working for
some time for Mr.. Stone, and be-
gan to lave strong yearnings for a
career.
AS he faced the COOL strong
breeze from the Atlantic when he
neared the top of the Mill, he braced
himself and hurried along the
moonlit path between the tomb
stones and graves with renewed vi
gor and a sudden swelling of soul
"a feeling that he was as strong
as bull and as unconquerable as
giant, and that the broad Atlantic
beyonw, rejecting the sheen of the
moon on it's surface, was like unto
the boundless future ahead of him
He hurried along, DESTROYS OF
reaching the crest Of the cemetery
hill and spending a moment or two
in enjoyment of the scenery. He
knew that some day he would be q
millionaire and own a couple OF
steamers, and maybe few horses
and anyway, he felt positive that he
would be a great advocate before
the Massachusetts bar.

CHAPTER |.
(COntin,led)

/
| James life was more arduous
than that of the average well-to-do
| girl, but it was also in many ways
more interesting. To assist her
mother in the many details of run
ming family as large as theirs
was no small undertaking.
Her moments of leisure in sum-
mer were devoted to reading and
song. to which she turned as does
a lark. 1t was to her the mea rs
of expressing the happiness, the
sorrows, the hopes and the feeling s
Of her large-hearted, sweet-souled
nature, cramped in surroundings of
toll and monotony, and well-nigh
hopeless poverty.
AS the fall of the year advanced
and the trees dropped their. vari-
colOred leaves to earth in rustling,
trembling chill at the approach of
the frost king, Jane grew strangely
silent, strangely changed. A few
weeks ago a girl, and now a. wom-
an, with gentle heart troubled by
the invisible power that. rules SO
strongly, and which is carried in a
Cupid's dart we'll aimed!
Then came the discussion in the
Baptist church in Harrington as to
whether to change it's methods or
not 1t was finally decided after
much debate that what was needed
was more singing, and it was made
known generally that soloist was
,,tn Tbo Yir1c. with vntrnc
invited to a trial, a musician from
Boston being asked to select the
best talent.
Now, Harrington was hustling
little city, some II miles from SAILS
port, and Jane and her brother
Roger walked all the way so she
could compete.
A score or more people were
present in the well lighted vestry.
They were all well-to-do; Jane and
Roger knew that, and recognized
them as the powers of the church.
The few ladies present were elder
ly and kind, and the men were with
one accord attentive, particularly
to Jane.
There was only one other girl
in the competition. She gave a
rendition from the opera Martha, y
and followed it with one from I'll
Trovatore," and it was easily seen
that her education in music had
been broad and thorough.
Then James advanced, and bow
ing slightly, with plaintive,
haunted look said please, | don't
know any such songs. | only know
a few, II don't know any more
Yes, sis-yes, you do" cried the
despairing brother; sing the For
est Song"
yes, sing anything, dear" plead
ed the directors wife.
And then Jane-she of the woods
and the ponds-friend of the lark
and the robin, started a sweet,
wrabling song like the notes of the
thrush, AMI increasing in energy,
threw in the song the sweetness OF
the lark and the curious notes OF
the robin and wnip-o-will in one
melodiOus song, ranging low and
high-lower than any there had
ever heard in lyric soprano, higher
and clearer than young woman s
voice ever sang before in Tarring-
ton, or Whereabouts, save in the
woods and the forests around SAILS
port. Then. warbling into an al
most inaudible tone, James came to
the emo of her song.
A wild round of applause greet
ed her, and the director said
please give me the name Of that
! song, miss"

musician kindly.
"Oh, / did not buy it. Just

she thought-and Roger. detected,

sisters failure, decided not to stay
and wait.
Little dreamed Jane Malley as
she hung over her brothers hos
pital cot of the pending changes in
| her own fortunes. With Rogers
convalescence came the news that
their abrupt retreat from Tarring-
ton did not lessen the interest she
had created there. The Boston
musical director had been seeking
her out. and at last, through the
! good offices of legal firm in COM
municatien with Theodore Stone,
her whereabouts was discovered
and she received request to re-
pair to Boston and have her voice
tested by experts. The business

on his feet again, acting as go

The trip to Boston turned out
success. The seed sown amid hui

in the larger city. James glorious

was induced to enter into a con-
tract, in order to graft upon native

Lenumes In the earden.

We hear a great deal about growing
legumes In the fields, so that the sod
can be plowed under and the land
enriched with nitrogen. In the gar,
den the growing OF legumes for this
purpose is as profitable as elsewhere
The peas or beans may be rotated
with other crops as to location and
so made to do service In turn on ali
parts OF the garden. II beans were
grown on one plot last year, grow
some plant not legume on that plot
this year. These legumes make good
roots and have heavy foliage, says
Farmers Review. They shade the
ground and help the soil organisms
to develop. in that way, and
one of the soil organisms that
are particularly adapted to the
roots of legumes are enabled to col
lect very large quantities Of nitrogen
from the air. A large part OF this nj
trogen is in the leaves. roots and
stems, which rot and are then washed
back into the soil.

TOMATOES FOR CANNING.
Suggestions for the Extensive Raising
Of the Vegetable.

| planted one ounce of tomato seed
in our garden the middle Of last
March in open ground and think
every seed came up. The young
plants were looking well, but were
killed down by a frost the first Of
April. By the last of the month they
had all come out again and were large
enough to set out, and planted the
3,O0o plants which grew from the
ounce Of seed. writes a correspondent
Of Farm and Home. The weather be-
ing favorable, almost every plant
lived.
The land on which they were plant
ed was very poor and sandy, with a
clay subsoil. | first broke 1t deep In
March with a one-horse turn plow,
turning under lot of weeds and
grass. About two weeks before set
ting out the plants l laid out rows
with an eight-inch shovel and put in
commercial fertilizer analyzing two
per cent. nitrogen, ten per cent. phos-
phoric acid and three per cent. potash,
at the rate of 600 pounds per acre. l
covered this fertilizer by running over
the rows once with two five-inch
scooters on a double stock, which
ridged the soil level with the surface.
The rows were three feet apart and
the plants were set two feet In the
row.
The cultivation was begun as soon
as the plants were firmly settled In
the soil and they were given three
plowings and two hoeings. The last
plowing was given about the time the
tomatoes begun to form freely on the
plants. l made a mistake by not
giving them four plowings instead OF
three and by not applying nitrate OF
soda at the rate of 200 pounds per
acre at the last plowing, BY failing to
do this the plants stopped growing,
most of the leaves dropped off and
over half the tomatoes were scalded
by the hot sun, rendering them unfit
for canning. We got over 400 two
pound cans of tomatoes from this
patch of about one-fourth acre.

GARDEN NOTES.

Worms if left to feed at will on
currant bushes will soon ruin them.
A garden properly taken care OF is
source Of considerable profit and
much pleasure.
Do not permit deep hoeing In the
garden, as this destroys the lateral
roots of plants.
Push the growth OF the new straw
berry plants so they may develop
large root systems for next season.
Cut back the monthly rose bushes
as soon as the first blossoms wither.
This will insure second growth at
once The blooms always come on the
new growth.

Cultivate the onions.

The most important essential in
onk,n growing is thorough cultivation
at the right time, which means that
we must keep down the weeds and
grass and keep the soil loose around
the plants while they are young. This
requires careful work tor the frst few
times, but II we'll done one will feel
we'll repaid when the harvest comes

as the grouiid is dry enough after each

KEEP ORCHARD FREE OF TRASH
The only Safe Way to Keep Tree
from Injury by Rodents and Insects.

The only safe way to Keep trees
from Injury by Rodents and Insects.
In regard to the protection of fruit
trees from rodents, my experience
has been that most people neglect to
do anything for the protection of their
trees until 1t is too late and then get
discouraged and do not try to raise
their own fruit, being more interested
in the production of a good hog or
calf than in the comforts of their fam
lily (until the agent comes along again
and sells them some more trees.)

wheat was ready to cut the rabbits.

in June, mind you. They must have
had queer constitutions to have need
ed the bark at that time of the year.
These trees, think, had been set out
two or three years.
My experience is that the rabbits
prefer the very small trees, al
though they will sometimes gnaw
quite large ones But there Is no
limit to the size of tree that a mouse
will try his teeth on. While examin-
ing trees for borers have found
trees from 25 to 30 years old that had
been gnawed by mice. l would con.
