Horace Malvern bowed awkwardly be-
fore Marian Hastings.
The dear, old well-remembered
voice said cordially with that tender,
underlying cadence:
Mr.. Malvern and l have met be-
fore" and he saw the old smile.
Yes" he stammered.
HE knew me then as Mariap," she
explained to Tom, who nodded
Il hate that name" he said, as he
led the way to the little runabout
Just outside the station. "Nell's mid
die name is Helen, and so l use that"
How simple it all was after all. He
had loved Marian Hastings so dearly,
although he had felt himself too poor
to tell Of that love. Now that he saw
her the happy, adored wife Of his old
friend, he knew what he had missed
Still, | couldn't have made her happy
as he has" he told himself
No hostess could have been more
gracious, or more self-possessed. She
pointed out the various attractions
chartered pleasantly and easily, and
more than once assured him of his
welcome.
Il have heard Tom speak of Horace
Malvern, but | never connected him
with my Mr.. Malvern of that happy
summer" she explained cordially, CIV
ing him one of those bright smiles
which dwelt in his memory.
Tom was delighted, and frequently
interrupted his wife to add his own
words of welcome. so that Horace
would have been dull indeed II he had
not realized that his coming was a
pleasure to both.
AS they bowled along he stole a
glance now and then at the beautiful
face beside him, for Tom was in front.
1t was more lovely. but in the round.
ed contours he missed little of the
delicacy Of extreme youth. Mrs. Ev-
ans was the finished product, Marian
Hastings had been the possible
woman.

thought, although he wished that Tom

GREATLY FROM DowNPoUR.

Reports from over the county are
to the effect that the roads have
suffered TO a great extent from the
recent heavy rains and that 1t will cost

The greatest damage has been 20

Commissioner Dampier, from the
LACROSSE section, stated Wednesday
that the roads were badly damaged
In all portions of the county. but he
had seen them in his section, and 1t
was here he knew of the damage.
There was more water on the ground
now. he said. than there had been for
years, and he considered IL higher In
every point than for the past eight
years. He spoke OF many places that
were overrun with water and where
the bridges had suffered, but one
place In particular was what is known
as the Gillen branch. near Hague. II

and this was the first time such a
thing had happened in the past fifteen

there is no land in the entire United
States which is better suited for agri-
cultural purposes than most of that
with which Kansas is Favored. Why
should Kansans buy pigs in a bag in
the shape of land in distant parts
when they have the best land pos
sible for farming purposes right at
their very doors? It can also be set
down for a fact that a man who can
not indulge in farming with profitable
returns in Kansas is going to have a
next to an impossible time to pursue
farming successfully in any other
region Of the entire universe.

LAND BARGAINS.

Dispatches from Seattle recently
told of a former Kansan who be-
came respondent near there and
committed suicide because he had
been swindled in land deal. He had
purchased a tract of land in the
Yakima Valley, without taking the
trouble to look it over before closing
the bargain. When he finally went to
inspect it, neighbors in the vicinity
told him it was worthless because it
could not be irrigated. The money
he had put into that land was about
everything he had in the world and
his disappointment was such that he
ended it all by taking his own life.
This suggests the thought that
prospective purchasers of farming
land should be a little more par
ticular in the making of the deals for
them. "Sight unseen is an extremely
poor method of doing business and es-
pecially in land transactions There
are more of these going on today, too,
than ever before in the history of the

way of farming lands. Many of these

mining schemes, are not in this class.
They are the worst of fakes and it is
pretty difficult to distinguish between
