ever. for it had been the custom of
generations for at least one son of each
Douglas family to preach the gospel

which his father had Jared so badly
The hopeless, defeated look on the de.
parted mans face had always haunted
the boy, who was artist enough to feel
his fathers genius intuluvely and
human enough to resent the injpstice
OF his fate.
Douglas mother had suffered sc
much because OF the impractical eff
forts OF her husband that she discour
aged the early tendencies of the son
toward drawing and mathematics and
tried to direct his thoughts toward
creeds and Bible history. When he

his vacations in n neighboring city be-
fore a drawing board IN the office of q
distinguished architect his fathers
friend.
Douglas was not a brilliant divinity
student. and he was relieved at last
when he received his degree I'm theol
ogy and found himself appointed to q
small church In the middle west.
His step was very bright the morning
he first went up the path that led 10
his new home. His artistic sense was
charmed by the picturesque approach
10 the church and parsonage. The
view toward the tree encircled spire

and gazed at the blue hills, with their
background Of soft, slow moving
clouds. The smell Of the fresh earth
the bursting Of the buds. the forming
OF new life set him thrilling with a
10Y that was very near 10 pain.
He stopped halfway up the path
and considered the advantages OF a
new front to the narrow eaved cot
tage, and when his foot touched the
first step Of the vine covered porch he
was far more concerned about a new
portlco than with any thought OF his
first sermon.
His speculations were abruptly cut
short by Mandy. who hustled out OF

Comfort in the PaIatial Hotels.

Residential suites in the best New
York hotels contain all the provisions
for the comfort of those who make
the hotel their home, such as private
dining-rooms, with special furniture,
china closets and sideboards. There
are private pantries, with cold storage
cupboards, where fruit and milk may
be stored, and refrigerator boxes,
where the temperature of wines may
be regulated, besides which there are
electric heaters, where food sent up
on the dumb walters from the kitch-
ems may be kept piping hot; there are
gas ranges, and all the water in pan
tries, baths and dressing rooms is spe-
cially filtered directly it flows through
the mammoth pipes into the hotel in
the great filter in the basement, al.
though most people have the bottled
water habit.

voices raised in high good humor as
they worked.
And then, all at once, she saw-Him
She knew him at once. In her dreams
he had not been so old, nor had gray
IN his hair; and her fancy had always
pictured him dressed in beautiful
suit of blue velvet, with a long black
velvet cloak, and perhaps a white
plume in his hat; but there could be
no mistake-it was the Prince with
the Iron Mask.
She knew by the hard lines about
his mouth and by the deep, sad look of
his eyes. Eyes, she was sure: it was
the Prince with the Iron Mask"
Every morning after this, as soon as
breakfast was over, and her hair
brushed into a semblance of smooth
ness, she climbed to the fiat ton of the
gate post and watched him as he
passed.
The child longed to tell him
that she understood and knew all

Little Eleanor''s
Luck Star
Copyright. by Bobbs-Merrill Coz
By ANNA pEnlNo GRAY

Out in the orchard the birds and
bees were flying about, and the warm
May wind blew the cherry blossoms
from the trees and sent them in white
clouds over the grass.
But Eleanor, whom everybody sup
posed playing out in the orchard sun
shine, was hidden away in the garnet,
the Blue Fairy Book open OH her
lap and her head with its shining curls
bent above it.
"And they lived happy forever aft
err. Under the hard, stern look that
the Prince had worn like an Iron
Mask, was another look which made
his face all gentleness and love. For
the Princess had found the heart of
the Prince, in spite of the Iron Mask. {"
She read the last sentence out loud
as she sat in her favorite place, upon
a little old-fashioned brown trunk,
drawn close to the window. The toes
of her small slippers barely touched
the floor. She had discovered the lit
tie brown trunk ages ago-early in the
spring, when she had first found her
way to the old attic.
Its contents were still a delicious
mystery. 1t was full of white things,
all flimsy and satiny and dainty, and
at the top beautiful white satin
dress, and lying upon this a package
of letters, tied with a narrow white
ribbon.
obi" she breathed softly, "they
must belong to the Lost Princess. I'll
keep it my own secret, forever and
ever, and not even Aunt Eleanor shall
know about it,"
And ever since, when she could slip
away from Nanny Emily for an
hour, she read her fairy books and
dreamed her innocent dreams in the
old garnet.
And Aunt Eleanor, sweet and whole
some and practical, petted and in
dulged her and lived quite outside the
fairyland of the child's dreams.

the vali;e of farming lands to a sur.
prising extent. Glover, as we all know,
takes the nitrogen from the great
ocean of air above the fields and draws
the potash and phosphorlc acid from
the subsoil, where it lies below the
reach of other crops. These vast store.
houses Of fertility are unlocked by the
leaves and roots of the clover plants,
and incidentally converted into avail.
able plant food for the surface-feeding
stubble growths of the farms. The
penetrative roots of the clover plant
mellow the earth and open compact
subsoils to such an extent that sur
face moisture will escape as readily as
would be the case through tiles.
Field peas are becoming a standard
forage crop in many sections of the
north. Oats and peas grown as mix

for clover hay. These also make
splendid pastSre for sheep, swine and
young stock. The millets are extern
sively grown on our western prairies
in rotation with small grains, especial.

Sorghum, which is a child of the
south, is now largely taking a perma-
nent place as forage crop in the
north. The plant produces an abund.
ant yield of sweet, nutritious forage.

large southern varieties Of fodder corn.
The seed is usually sown in drills,
with space between the rows for cul.

is required to make a small, leafy
stalk, which, when properly cured, is
relished by all of the Domestic ami
mails, and is consumed with little or no
waste. When sorghum is pastured by
sheep or swine it may be classed with
the soil improvers.

Root crops are not grown as extern

they may be grown as a forage crop.
Pasture grasses are not usually
classed with forage crops, but they
are really the most dependable mem.
