So 1t happened that early the next
day Challoner was driving UP to
Patricia's house in the same dog cart
that had held him and Patricia that

rounded by Cousin Jack and his bags
and his golf sticks. Her mother met
them and sent them up to their
rooms, where Challoner made care
full toilet and nerved himself to be
coolly polite when he should meet
Patricia. When he went downstairs
she was just coming up the steps.
She stopped when she saw him and
gasped little. Challoner noticed
that she was thinner than usual and

them when Cousin Jack appeared, fus-

inquiries as to the condition Of the

II suppose you got my note," said
Patricia, as she greeted him. She
drew out Challoner's locket from q

Cousin Jack looked puzzled, but his

Patricia's cousin, "but 1 forgot you

"Your card was in It," said Pa

Then Challoner saw it ALL Upon
that afternoon when he was so anx-

the relief found vent In a shout Of

Challoner eagerly told Cousin jack

MAKE EXCELLENT FARMERS.

Mrs. George Gran, who operates a

II will lead many women to enter

Gran. "a girl must possess, first, an

and she must be prepared to give
several years to her work before she

that women did best on dairy farms,
and that many women successfully
combine dairy farming and market
gardening. A typical farm / visited
consisted of 600 acres. The woman
owning it was 80 years old, and had
small fortune in the bank in addition
to owning her 500 across outright.
She had many offers Of marriage, but
was Independent and had rejected
them all. This year she has sixteen
acres under corn, she has six acres
under alfalfa, and she raises oats and
barley. She markets melons, celery
and asparagus and the honey from
fifty hives of bees. She has seventy

Gran believes there is great future
ahead of healthy, Woodworking

An interesting statement she makes
is that the majority of young women
