PLAN OF RUSTIC GATE.

which cannot but make its impression
on the prospective buyer. Even when
there is no question of sale an air of
thrift is good investment, for it
adds to the consideration in which the
owner is held in the community.
Farm fences should be kept in good
condition for reasons of economy, If
nothing else. The most picturesque
fences for farm or garden are of rough
posts. They may be made attractive
enough to serve for the house and gar
den, as may be seen by examining the
illustrations, which suggest a new
style for a gate and fence.
This rustic gateway, which was
built at a small cost may be worth
initiating, modified. of course, to fit
the surroundings. This one is between
two cedar trees. and from 1t wind
ing path leads to the house. The cuts
give an idea as to how the gate is
made. The two uprights and the
crosspiece on the top are of locust.
All the rest Is Of cedar. Parts of the
smaller branches have been left on the
pieces that go to ill up the gate. A
gateway like this would not prove eff
fective against pigs or chickens, but
would turn larger animals. 1t is not
only cheap and durable, but decidedly
attractive because 50 perfectly In har-
mony with it's surroundings.
Soaking the lower ends of posts in
crude petroleum and then burning it
off, thus driving the hot oil into the
wood while charring the outside, has
given the best results in preserving
pitch pine posts. Posts which were
treated sixteen years ago before set
ting and were recently taken up were
In good condition. Those treated as
above were all in practically sound
condition and good to last fifteen to
twenty years longer. If properly done
this treatment seemingly would make
good posts last Indefinitely.
Various methods of treatment were
tried. Posts merely soaked in crude

Introduction of Mr.. Sulphate to Mr..

they lose heart and ambition. They

remarkable results are said to have

"At once" Mrs. Merriman reiterated,

"Oh, Polly" he said, you look SO

She gasped.
'Will you kindly order my cabT
Merriman slid down from the trunk.
"Ill do anything" he said miserably,
'if you will only tell me why you are
going"
But Mrs Merriman had picked up
the suit case the weight of which
made her sag dreudfully to one side.
Let me carry that" her husband In

But she chung to it desperately.

said. 81 should not forget"

him, "to be considerate of my feel

"Oh, pif"- her husband began, and
then he stopped. "I'll telephone for the

sat down on the suit case and sighed.

seriousness. "Oh, dear" she murmur-

leave me-forever'--
His voice broke and for a moment
Mrs Merriman seemed to waver; then
she again picked up the suit case with
determination.
'Tll write" she said, from moth
er's."
And 50 he was forced to let her go.
He stood for some time on the front
steps i'll the rain, watching the cab as
1t was swallowed up by the grayness,
and then he went into the empty
house.
Everything seemed to speak to him
of Polly, of their two happy years Of
married life. There was the mission
furniture in the library, the fasclnat-
ing bookcases with loaded glass, the
books that they had read together, the
motto over the fireplace on which they
had looked night after night when the
lamp was out and only the flames light
ed the dimneSs Of the big room. There
was But he left the library behind
him and went upstairs, only to be re-
minded again and again of Polly as
he tripped over her Turkish gold en-
broidered slippers on the threshold of
her pink and white room and noted
her frilly dressing gown flung across
chair, her cut glass bottles on the
chiffonier, her ivory brushes on the
dressing table.
A sudden thought came to him. Why
had she left these things behind?
She had been elaborately locking the
big trunk when he came in that after
noon. "I'll send for it later" she had
informed him and had crushed the re-
naming articles into her suit case.
Why hadn't she taken her brushes
Why hadn't she taken her dressing
gown? Why were the slippers left?
AS dawning thought came to him
his face frightened. He went over to
the trunk and lifted it. 1t was so light
that he moved it easily. Then he sat
down on the floor deliberately and
picked the lock and opened it. 1t was
empty.
Still smiling, he went over to the
closet and threw the door wide open.
1t was full of Polly's clothes.
Evidently Polly was coming back.
With mind at ease, he returned to
the library and prepared to wait for
her With book and a cigar and the
comfort of his easy chair the time
would pass quickly. But it did not
pass quickly. He missed Polly awful
ly, and he grew very serious as he
thought what 1t might mean II she
should never come back. And In the
terror of that thought he went to the
telephone and called up Poly's mother.

Points In Gardening.

There is little danger of making the
soil too rich for vegetable garden.
The use Of hand tools is unnecessary
in the preparation of seed bed if the
soil is worked at the proper time.
The labor of hand wedding may be
reduced to Il minimum by planting in
freshly worked soil only. tilling close
to the rows early in the season and
permitting no weeds to ripen their
seed.
The use of wheel hoe saves labor
In the care of garden even when
much Of the tillage is to be done with
a horse.
