Nicolas Palgrave lay on his plank
bed watching the pale rays of dawn
slowly tighten on his cell wall His
time was up that morning; he had
served over four years out of the FIVE,
and had earned the full remission
granted for good conduct, and at nine
o'clock he would cease to be a cipher
and become a free man once more.
But what would his freedom bring
him? How would she for whom he
had stolen receive him? And, above
all, what greeting awaited him from
little Maisie, his little idol, who had
been but four when he was sentenced?
Would she know him when he came
out? Had she been taught to look for
ward to meeting him on his return, or
when he was free would II be only to
find himself a stranger in strange
land, and strangest of all in his own
home?
His was a not uncommon story. A
man in comfortable circumstances, he
had married above him, and after
marriage had found his wife looked
for many things which his income
could scarcely afford her: and then

came the usual result. A pretty wife,
but weak, with extravagant tastes, has
ruined many a man, and so in Pal
graves case. To give his wife her
every desire was not honestly within
his power, and-well, he denied her
nothing. Things went on for nearly
six years, and then the crash came,
and he was sentenced to five years
penal servitude for embezzlement. But
for the disgrace, he would willingly
have suffered thrice this sentence, II
only his wife had benefited by it, and
have gone to prison with light heart
If only their home was secure.
But what would be her reception
now his time was over? The thought
had held him sleepless for the past
week, and it harried him now. Would
she receive him plying, forgetsul, or
would she spurn him scornfully as a
cur? He watched the gray walls grad
ually tighten, and as he asked himself
the question the shifting shadows
formed strange shapes upon the wall,
and the shapes seemed to laugh and

flung himself to his feet and paced up

sistency that when his name was
called and the prison gate changed be-
hind him he half regretted his free
dom.
He made his way furtively through
the streets, watching the passersby
with half-shut eyes, thinking every
one knew of his offense and whence
he had just come.
The day was fearfully long. It
seemed as though it would never end.
He watched one shadow for an etern-
ity, but 1t never seemed to length
en-, and the sun seemed always fixed
over one tree. At last, when twilight
commenced to gather back behind the
lake. 1t seemed years since he entered
the gates.
And, now II was dusk, should he go
to her? He weighed 1t over and over
in his mind in doubling despair. With
narrowing clearness, he recalled the
proud poise of her head aud the scorn-
full curl of her lip as she turned from
the witness-box the fearful day of his
sentence. He had sinned for her, and
she spurned him for his folly But,
after all, perhaps. there was hope for
him. The years may have softened
her, and she may have forgiven him
ay. and perhaps she might even well
come him back
1t had now grown quite dark, and

stronger, he Strengthened himself with

Method Of Caring for Nursery Stock
Until Planted In Spring.


A word about heeling in trees at
this time will doubtless be of benefit
to some of our readers. Where fall
delivery of nursery stock is received,
II is probably best to heel the trees
In rather than to set them out In their
permanent location. The setting can
usually be more satisfactorily done in
the spring. John b. Katzner, a sue
cessful fruit grower of Minnesota, Of
fers the following advice on the sub.
ject.
| consider Il very important that
you buy and order all fruit trees to be
delivered In the fall. There is more
time all around for the nurseryman
as well as for the farmer at that time
of the year. and you can take care of
the stock Just as well, II not better,
than the nurseryman can by heeling
In your stock over winter. For this
work select a place where the water
does not accumulate. When you get
notice that the stock has been shipped,
dig hole the length of the trees.
few inches deep. for the tops of the
trees, slanting down to the north to
about two feet for the roots, and wide
enough so that all the trees can be
placed In the trench without crowding
them too much. For hundred trees
hole six feet wide is about right.
When the trees arrive, unpack at
once. prune the roots slanting-so that
the tree will stand on the cut part OF
the root when planted. to insure
downward growth of the new roots.
Cut Off all broken parts OF, the roots.
Now place the trees In the hole
which ought to be little deeper just
where the roots come so that they Will
not be injured. When you have put
I'm about flve or six trees, throw a
little dirt on between the roots. Above
the first tier of trees you can place
one or two more. when all the trees
earth on the roots till all are well
covered. Now place board on the
ground over the roots and similar
boards across the stems and branches.
so that the trees are entirely covered.
few short stakes under the boards
will keep too great pressure of from
the trees. Fill up the hole with dirt,
make mound little higher thar the
surface to let the water flow off and
then put on a mulch about a foot
deep when the ground freezes up. The
trees are covered with boards so that
7 they shall not be injured by the SHOW
el when they are taken out In the
spring.
The stock Is now well heeled In and
will come out of It's winter quarters
full of sap and vigor, ready to start
into active growth at once. 1t Is my
experience, running back over the last
Is years. that trees SO handled will
not fail to make growth OF from six
inches to three feet the first season.
II you compare the growth Of these
trees with spring delivered trees. II
you think of the consequent success In
the one case and the frequent failure
of the other the great advantage OF
fall delivery stock will be evident to
you. Another advantage of fall de-
livery which we must not lose
sight OF is that we have our trees on
hand in spring to plant whenever we
are ready.

and the strip b. This strip should be
about three inches wide, and Of

is bored In the center of b and three
holes in block A as shown. These
holes should be little larger than the
rope used. Thread the blocks as
shown. by putting the two ends
