on his breast as broken yis;oIa OF
the past float through his m.nd.
They are singing" he says, and
then he sees himself in the church.
From the altar come the voices OF
singing children, and the loud voice
of the old priest, Father Gregor, dead
long, long ago. Hundreds of peas
ants raise and bow their heads and
make the sign of the cross, all we'll
known faces, all dead now. There is
his stern-faced father, and beside him
the elder brother, Zealously crossing
himself and often signing; and there
he himself stands, young, gay and
strong, full of unconscious hope, and
ambition of happiness, and joy, and
the future. And where is this happi-
ness? The old mans thoughts fame
up suddenly, like the flame of an
expiring fire, and illumine every nook
and corner of past life. Measure
less toll. sorrow and care-where is
that expected, hoped-for happiness?
Sorrowful fate furrowed that young
face. bowed the straight, strong back.
and taught him to sigh like the eld-
er brother.
And there. to the left. among the
women of the village, she stands with
head devoutly bent in prayer. She
was a faithful loving wife to him.
God rest her soul, And she, too, had
had many troubles to bear; care and
toll and woman's hard lot had aged
her very early. The eyes that in
youth had been so bright and clear
grew din, and the expression of fear
and anxiety at the unexpected strokes
of fate. took the place of the earlier
pride and confidence of the young
wife. AID her happiness, where was
it? A son had been left them, the
Joy and pride of their age-but he,
too, had been led away by the lies of
men.
And there stands the rich village
usurer and bows himself to the earth,
and kisses it piously, and makes the
sign of the cross. that by hypocritical
worship he may dry the tears of
wronged orphans AMI widows, and so
he lies to his God as to men.
Wassili's heart grows hot and even
the holy pictures look down in anger
on human misery and human lies. All
this is behind him, so far behind him.
Now his only world is this old bell
tower, high up. where the wind bowls
and plays with the bell-ropes. God
will Judge, vengeance is His" whis-
pers the old man, and heavy tears
roll down his withered cheeks.
"Wassili, Are you asleep" some
one cries from below.
"Wha calls me-" asks tie old man.
and started from his bench. Dear
God, have l really been asleep9
Never has this shame come upon
me-"
Quickly, with practced hand. he
seizes the rope and gives look be-
low. where. like ants pss>soll their heap,
the people are moving about busily.
Wassili In his tower rises the joyful
cry, Christ is arisen from the dead.'
He rings. and the newly-arisen wind
seizes the tones. and. with wide
spreading wings. carries them upward
and the echoes. far and wide. re-
peat the solemn music of the bells.
Never has the old MAJ. rung the
bells so wonderfully. 1t seems as il
some OF his emotion has commupi-
Gated itself to the cold metal and
inspired them to sing in joy and hap
piness, to laugh and TO weep: the liv-
Ing tones rise TO heaven. up to the
brilliant stars. which appear to shine

Selling the Hens.


There are many poultrymen wIo
make a practice of selling off their
hens at the end Of the second year,
says the Rural World, yet they profess
that the hen has just commenced 10
make a profit for them for she is at
her best-laying the greatest number
of eggs-during her second year. They
then fill the places Of such hens WIN
pullets. The theory is erroneous, as
the first cost Of the hen, that of rails
ing her from the egg to maturity, must
be paid back before the hen can give
profit, and this cost must be added 10
the second year. 1t is fact that the
hen herself can be sold and the cost
returned, but the longer she is kept
the cost of the first year Is divided for
every year she Is on the farm lt IS
this first cost Of the hen, that is so ire
ouently overlooked, that makes the
profit turn to loss. A hen Will last
a long time if she is properly cared
for, and for reproducing purposes
there is no necessity Of selling of hen
just as soon as she begins to lay nicely
and regularly. A hen in her second or
third year is quite young, and the
chicks Matched from her eggs are usu-
ally stronger than those Matched from
the first eggs of the pullets. If the hens
are killed off every second year there
will soon be a decrease In the vitality
Of the stock, especially IL the eggs from
the hens are handed down year after
year and used for Matching purposes.
Keep the hens until they are 4 years
old, and the result will be better layers,
stronger chicks, and still you will have
the price Of the hen when she Is sold.
