Perhaps so but I've known people

Pearman bowed, and rang the bell

for you tell him all that has passed, and
that he shall hear from me, as agreed
upon, the minute l hear anything def

miles across the fields"
suppose it was a case of animal mag
netism, but it certainly was odd that
Maude should have selected that for her
afternoon STROLL Nevertheless, it is a
fact that as Grenville Rose jumped over
the stile at the corner of Edgenton Firs
he found that young lady seated on a
grassy bank on the other side, with Dan
couched at her feet--one of those coinci-
dences that | presume has happened to
most of us in our time, and sincerely do
pity the few whose want of luck and lack
of observation have debarred them such
sunshiny moments.
"Well, Gren," she inquired, as she rose
to her feet "have you overthrown my
ogre? Am l free girl again?'
Il don't know, darling-the great bat
tie comes off tomorrow but | think
can promise you shall never marry Pear

Don't talk nonsense; you know | never

and miserable That story is all over,
and I'm forgiven-at least, | thought
so;" and Maude looked shyly but archly
into her lovers face.
Grenville behaved after the manner of
young men generally when so circum-
stanced-those quiet footpaths over the
fields have a deal to answer for-and
what Don't, please, Gren!' meant, I
must leave to the discrimination of the
reader, merely remarking, Grenville Rose
either decided it meant nothing, or could
not have heard it.
But do you think you can put things
bit right for papa?" inquired Maude,
when she at last extricated herself.

morrow to know for certain"

a GOOD BED.
Important Because We spend Nearly
Half Our Lifetime In Bed.

Important Because We Spend Nearly
Half Our Lifetime In Bed.
There are many people who cannot
afford the luxuries Of life, or who do
not care for the vanities who thor
oughly enjoy solid comforts. Among
these solid comforts Is a good bed A
good bed cannot be had without some
expense. You must have good steel
springs as a foundation for the bed
and should buy only those of the best
quality. Over this you must have a
good soft hair mattress. When | was

her feather beds of which she had

ers of geese that were raised upon our
own farm. How many times | have

have had lame arms for weeks where
l have been struck by the strong
wings of these birds. But feather
beds are no longer popular since they
retain the heat of the body and are
too soft and warm tending to make
the sleeper indolent and lacking in
energy. The covering of beds should
be as light as possible Heavy COM
fortables oppress the sleeper. Many
people cover themselves in bed with
too many quilts and blankets. Simply
cover yourself enough to keep COM
fortably warm and you will rest much
better. Among well to do people iron
bedsteads have taken the place of all
others. A furniture dealer told me
that he sold a car load of iron
bedsteads where he sold one
wooden bedstead. Iron beds are less
cumbersome, are more attractive,
cleanly and airy. The bed as we'll as
the room should be thoroughly aired
each day. Perhaps you do not realize
that you spend nearly half of your
life time in bed. How important then
that the sanitary arrangements should
be carefully looked after, and in par.
ticular the ventilation.

THE WORD "WINTER."
Said to Have Originally Indicated
Wetness, Not COldness.

There is a prevailing impression that
ter" that signifies cold, and the sea-
son is usually associated with the idea
of low temperature, but where the
word originated there was little of
winter as we understand it, while
there was a great deal of moisture at
the time the earth was nearest to the
sun, so that it Is not the temperature
but the atmospheric condition that has
given us the word.
The word winter" as we use it, is
found with but slight notifications in
all the branches of the Aryan Ian
guages, for the idea of wetness asso-
ciated with the season was given to it
before the Aryan family was divided.
If we go to the root of the word we
find "wad," with the signification of to
well, to wash out, to moisten or make
wet Our Aryan ancestors used that
root to apply to all conditions of
moisture and many words besides
winter have grown out or II, wet ana
water being among them.
This root "wad' is in the Sanskrlt
as "udan," water. Anglo-SaXon has
"waeter," and in Latin we have ''un-
da," wave, from which we get our "in-
undate."
Our Danish and Swedish cousins
changed the "w" into ''v," and have
winter" In Icelandic it is "vetir,"
and the old high German has win
tar" and it is "winter' in German.
These four words are all from the
Teutonic base "wata," which means
wet. So it has been moisture that has
been indicated from the birth Of the
root on which all of the different words
in dozen languages have grown

False Teeth for Dogs.

News comes from London that many
dentists there have established par
lors" for the treatment Of dogs, and
that the patronage of the owners of
"show dogs" has made the innovation
a profitable one. A defective tooth may
lose the prize to dog otherwise per-
feet as to points" and it is how a
common practice with fanciers to send
their pets to the dentist as regularly
as wise parents send their children.
Single new teeth cost from 81 to $5
each, while as much as $135 is paid
for full set for a beloved old canine
member of a household.

women retain their sway years after they
are not only unconscious of it, but have
almost forgotten their admirer. 1t is
true we also sometimes see the converse
of this, when a woman would fain pick
up the dropped stitches Of bygone love
affair, but the male creature has freed
himself from the yoke.

1t is customary to regard tubercu.

of the body.

The joints most frequently attacked
are the spine, the hip and the knee,
although no joint is exempt. Tuber-
culosis seldom originates in the Joint,
but is usually preceded by trouble in
neighboring bone, in the lungs,
glands of the neck, or other more or
less remote part.

CHAPTER XIX.

The early train on Thursday morning
saw Grenville Rose, accompanied by Mr.
Nightjar, solicitor, junior partner of the
firm of Hawk, Sparrowbill and Co., on
his way to Slantover, the nearest railway
station to Mannersley, from which it was
distant about four miles. Having arriv-
ed at the latter place, and ascertained
that Pearman was at home, Grenville sent
In his card, and a request to see that gen.
tleman for few minutes, on business of
Importance. Now, it so happened, that
though Rose had a thorough knowledge
of Sam Pearman, the other knew nothing
whatever of him. He had never encoun-
tered him personally, except to exchange
that sentence or two after the Sminster
ball. l don't know whether even then
he had identified him; but of a surety
that scene had pretty well faded from
his memory, especially as regarded the
personality of the other actor therein. 1t
was as an entire stranger that he receiv-
ed the young barrister.
II must apologize for troubling you, Mr..
Pearman but | am here as the represen-
tative of Mr.. Harold Denison.'
You could not have come with better
credentials, Mr.. Rose. Charmed to see
both you and your friend" he glanced at
the cards in his hands. "N1r. Nightjar, l
think? Will you take some lunch now,
or after we have had our little palaver 2"
Nothing, thanks; our time is pre-
cious, and we will detain you as briefly
as maybe. You are, of course, aware
that there is death fine on Mannersley {;
or, to speak more intelligibly, that the
owner of Glinn has right of heriot over
your manor on the death of any holder
thereof?"
"a right of heriotr' muttered Pear
man. mo, l never heard of such claim /;
and l think my father died in complete
ignorance of any such right"
Though far from suspecting what was
about to take place, Sam Pearman knew
enough of law to understand this express
sion.
"You had better read that deed, Night
Jar. Such right exists, and has been al
ways exercised generally compromised as
a fne-a course we propose to adopt in
the present instance"
The solicitor laughed and opened, first

three sheets of foolscap. II will be as

story is little intricate to follow.

means originally part of the Glinn proper

Abbot of minister to one Hugh Wilson,

upon his bearing arms for the abbey, and
being ever ready to do service under the
banner of Sir James Denison of Glinn,

Why The ROSaIie Did
Not Aid the Doodle

Referring to the statement in Bell
ingham papers of one of the passen-
gers on the launch Yankee Doodle
when she ran upon Peapod reef last
week that the steamer Rosalie passed
close by about seven o'clock in the
evening without needing the signals
made by the wrecked passengers. Capt.
Barlow. of the Rosalie. said at the
Custom house the first of the week :
s'The reef is considerably of our
course and the efforts made by the
Doodle passengers to attract our at
tention by swinging lantern we're
not noticed until after we had passed
the reef a considerable distance and
then it looked as If the light we're on
the shore of Orcas island. which is
only short distance from the reef.
And besides, there was nothing in
the manner in which the lantern was
swung to indicate that it was dis
tress signal. II Coston or other sig
nal lights had been carried on the
launch, and used properly. as should
always be done in such cases, we would
have known that help was needed and
would have gone Immediately to the
relief Of the wrecked party

ROSaIie Meets With
Accident at Townsend

When leaving Port Townsend Mon

fine new steel revenue cutter Tahoma.
causing considerable damage to her
stern, above the water line. and de-
laying her several no urs. The dam
age will amount to several hundred
dollars, the plumbing bill alone
amounting to approximately $3.50. co.
Mate Hansen was at the wheel
when the steamer was backed out from
Union duck and the lookout who was
aft watching the stern of the boat.
when he saw that they we're getting
dangerously near the Tahoms, blew mis-
whistle as signal to Mate Hansen
to 90 ahead. but on account of the
strong wind that was blowing, the
mate did not hear this in time to
stop the boat, and she struck the Ia
homa with considerable force, putt

several we're out of town. After the
withdrawal of several of the candi-

second caucus, which was very we'll

at the court house and ticket was
nominated. Believing and hoping
that Mayor Gould would accept re-

declined to accept the nomination

ond cacuus was held. Mr.. Gould hav-
ing positively refused to again become
candidate. be consented to accept
the nomination, and the secretary of
the caucus was instructed to cast the
unanimous vote of the caucus for
him. the other nominees being @. L.

Fowle and q. II. Baker for council
men. The saloon interests, dissatis-
fed with some of the nominations
made. the next day persuaded John
L. Murray to become a candidate for
mayor and very active and success
full canvass was made in his behalf,
though it was necessary to US" stick
ers' to get his name ON the ticket.
A few of the stickers didn't stick be-
cause of the voters failure to place q
cross after the name, as the law re-
quires, but enough did stick to elect
him by three voets. notwithstanding
the fact that he had worked against
the incorporation of the town and
only few weeks ago was active in
the circulation of petition to dis
incorporate 1t, and also put the town
to considerable expense by fighting
against the polt tax ordinance. In
spite of these marked evidences Of
unfriendliness toward municipal gov
ernmsnt here, he has been elected
mayor and as mayor will be entitled
to the support of all good citizens in
whatever efforts he may make to en-
force the ordinances of the town.

The Most Profitable Way of Operating
A Dairy and Handling Dairy Products

Mdny dalrymen in this county
may be interested in the following
article bearing upon the relative pro-
hts to be derived from butter maxinp
and from the sale of milk to conden-
series.
Mr.. Curtis Pratt. OF Nicholson.
Pa. who was selling milk for $1.47
per can. wanted to know what could
be got from it in the way of butter.
He asked the Sharples separator
agents at Nicholson. Pa, if they
would run two cans of milk through
their separator. He took the cream
home and churned it and got eleven
pourd ds of butter Investigating still
farther. he set the same amount of
milk in water. and raised his cream
and got seven pounds of butter.
NET RESULTS
2 cans milk. at STAT per can, deliv-
cred 8 a miles 1924
2 cans separated with Sharples separ-
ator. l. pounds butter at $40 352
besides buttermilk and skim milk be-
ing kept at home.
2 cans set in water, seven pounds
butter at 32c 2.24
II Mr.. Pratt could get 32c. for butter
from gravity cream. be should be able
to get 35c. for bntter from Tubular
cream.
In an address recently delivered
before an eastern dairy association. a
prominent dairyman said: Which
is the most profitable way of operating
the dairy and handling the dairy pro-
duct-to make it into butter. to sell
the whole milk or sell the cream!
There are many sides to the ques-
tion and many arguments in favor of
each. believe there are as many or
more in favor of making butter than
any other way of handling the dairy
product. [ believe that, to put the
product upon the market in its FIN
1oh00 oto00s 10 sA0 moS1 pAoO1AOoOA0 .
and the most profitable way.
s'The milk is the raw material.
When the milk is sold, everything
goes and Is cleaned out entirely. and
all the profit that comes must come
from this one source. The making of
butter leaves the skinned milk. the
buttermilk and the butter as we'll.
Making butter is truly dairying and
it is the only true way of dairying. "
cit is said that to sell milk or cream
takes less skill and, therefore. it can
be handled cheaper. making the cost
of the product cheaper and therefore
increase the profits. do not agree
with this. While, in measure it is
true, it will be seen that the tendency
will be to undertake to handle the
matter with too cheap force and
hurt the business from beginning to
end. We can't get too much inteili
gence or too much training or too
much reading into our practical men
handling the COWS and handling the
milk, cream and butter.
Gas a matter of fact. the most ex-
pensive method, the method that has
