Half Million to Farmers

Saturday was pay day for farmers
for the beets hauled up to November
l. 1t is estimated that the Greeley
farmers were paid 100000 then.
$175,oo0 was paid out from the
Windsor factory and $17S,O00 from
Eaton. Contrary to predictions ear
ly in the season about shortage in
the beet crop, 1t has been found to
average up well with former years.
1t is said that half the crop was
delivered before the recent snow and
that the farmers have sliced 25 per
cent to be delivered when called for
by the factory. The workmen re-
ceivod their pay on the 18th and
3Oth Of each month. This is the sec
ond pay day for the farmers. the
first being November 10. The third
payment will be December 10 and 90
is expected that this will be the larg-
est OF the season.

fiectively.

said. ,y

slipping them into one of his cases.
Hillard would have lectured him on
his extravaganza, and this was a good
way to avoid 1t. But some hours later
he was going to be very sorry that he
had not made a conddant of his guide.
Merrihew had never heard of the town
of Ventimiglia, which straddles the
frontiers of France and Italy.
As they were boarding the train they
noticed two gentlemen getting into the
forward compartment of the carriage.
"Humph! Our friend with the scar"
SAT- Hillard. I'VE do not seem able to
shake him."
I'd like to shake him. He goes
against the grain. somehow" Merri-
hew swung into the compartment. II
wonder why the Sandfords dropped
him?'
For some good reason. They are a
liberal pair, and If our friend forward
offended them, it must have been some
thing deliberate and outside the pale
of forgiveness. But 1 should like to
know where old Giovanni is. 1 miss
him.
Poor DEVIL" said Merrihew with
careless sympathy. 1t is easy to be
sympathetic with persons whose
troubles are remote from our own
The train started. and again they
had the compartment.

It,"
""Or if the money lasts. Bury your
system. my boy. 1t will do you no
good. Trust to luck only. Monte Carlo
is the graveyard Of systems"
But maybe my system is the one.
You can't tell till I have tried It."
Merrihew lighted a cigar, and Hill
ard smiled secretly. After some time
the conductor came in to examine the
tickets. When the examination was
over he paused in front of Merrihew,
who puffed complacently.
'Signore.,' the conductor said po-
litely, &c rvietato fumare.''
Merrihew replied with an uncompre-
bending stare.

they lunched substantially. In that
hour or so Merrihew saw more varied
uniforms than he had seen in all his
past life; perambulsting parrakets
which glittered, smoked cigarettes or
black cigars with straws in them, and
drank coffee out of tumblers. He read
lily imagined that he was surrounded
by enough dukes and princes and
counts to run a dozen kingdoms, with
a few left over for the benefit of the
American market. He was making no
mistakes now; he could distinguish a
general from a hotel concierge with
out the least difficulty.
And still Americans, everywhere
Americans; rich and poor Americans,
loud and quiet Americans; Americans
who had taste and education, and some
who had neither; ~well-dressed and
over-dressed, obtrusive and unobtru-
sive, parvenu and aristocrat. Once
Merrihew saw d fine old gentleman
wearing the Honor Legion ribbon in
his b~uttonhole, and his heart grew
warm and proud. Here was an order
which was not to be purchased like the
Order of Leopold and the French Les
gion of Honor. To win this simple or
der a man must prove his oourage UNI
der fire, must be the author of an he
roic exploit on the battlefield. And
besides, there was this advantage: to
servants in Europe a button Or a slip
of ribbon In the lapel signifies ans Or
der, a nobility of n sort or another.
and as n consequence they treat the
wearer with studied civility.

with his hand at the side of his mouth,
as one does to a person who is sud

Merrihew smiled weakly and signi-
fled that he did not understand.

desperation.
Merrihew extended his hands hope
the conductor. Hillard had the tickets.

II say, Jack, what the deuce does he
want, anyhow"
'"Cigare, cigare!" The conductor
g~esticulated toward the window.
"Ohl" Merrihew took the cigar from
his teeth and went through the panto-
mime of tossing it out of the window.
Isl, si!' assented the conductor, de-
lighted that he was finally understood
You might have given me the tip
Merrihew grumbled across to Hillard

You had m joke; this is mine.
Besides, / remained silent to the ad-
vantage Of your future education. The
conductor has spoken to you in foul
languages-Italian. French. German
and Dutch" Hillard then spoke to the
conductor. May not my friend smoke
so long as ladies do not enter?'
Certainly, since it does not annoy
you" Then the conductor bowed and
disappeared into the next compartment
Merrihew inscribed ON the back of ar
envelope, for future reference, the four
phrases. and in ten minutes had, with
1.-THE assistance of his preeeptor, mas
tered their pronunciations.
81 wish I had been born n hotel con
cierge," he said m%ournfu,ly. "They
speak all languages, and the Lord
knows where they find the time to
learn them"
"The EngIishman. the Partisan and
the American are the poorest ~linguists, .
said Hillard. "They are altogether tor
well satisfied with themselves and thei,
environments to bother learning any
language but their own. and most
Americans do not take the trouble to

There's some truth in what you say
But we are young, and going ahead all
the time"
Soon the train began to lift into the
mountains. the beautiful Apennines
and Merrihew counted so many tunnels

idea. Just as some magnificent valley
began to unfold. with a roar the train
dashed into a dank. sooty tunnel. One
