CHAPTER XVI.

Cameron, whose mind was singular
ly prosaic, had of late been reading in
to his speculattons a certain poetic
quality, though he did not suspect 1t.
He had never been a farmer and had
only the most superficial knowledge Of
| farming. Yet he had studied all sum
mer long the growth OF the corn In his
" fields at The Beeches. He had
reckoned the rainfall Of the region and
compared it with the figures given in
books Of statistics for other years. He
covered hundreds OF sheets Of paper
during the long summer days with
computations. n played with them as
q boy with the knack Of rhyming plays
at tagging rhymes. He cherished first
the idea that the ear would be mark
ed by excessive rainfalls which would
be detrimental to the corn crop, and
when the government bulletins failed
to heal him out in this he assured him
self hat the year would be marked by
late frosts that would destroy the crop
over a wide area. He proved to his
own satisfaction. by means Of the ta-
bles he had compiled. that dollar corn
was inevitable.
This idea tool a strong hold upon his
Imagination. 1t was fascinating. the
thought of playing a great game IN

Of heaven were such potent factors.
There was q keen satisfaction in the
fact that he could study the whole
matter from the secure vantage ground
OF his own office, and that when he
went home at night, there 1t was across
the road from his own gate. under his
eye, the beloved corn, tall and rustling.
beautiful and calm. but waiting for the
hand OF the destroyer. Even this. his
own. should perish. and yet he was
accommodating scraps of paper that
called for thousands OF bushels of corn
at a time when 1t would Grieve many
short sighted men sorely to deliver it
to him.
An enormous conceit was bred IN
him and he fed 1t upon his dreams
dreams of power. The Chicago broke
sent him representations Ind forecasts
which the old man threw away In dis
gust. They were fools, all Of them. He
asked no mans suggestions; they were
afraid of him, he assured himself. when
the reports were contrary to his own
ideas; and when they conceded with
his w notions he flattered himself
that they proved his own wisdom. He
made good his margins as fast as call
ed on. but continued to buy October
corn, basing his purchases on a short
crop. Always 1t was corn, corn, corn!
He waited patiently for Balcomb to
report, for IL he could get fifty thou
sand dollars more to put into corn his
triumph would be all the greater. He
waited feverishly for the hour which
the promoter had set and when
comb appeared he could scarcely con-
ceal his Impotence. He mad just
learned by consulting the hles OF old
newspapers at the public library that

COMPOSITION OF A TOMATO
Nutriment Present In Largest Amounts
Is Sugar, While Organic Acids
Give Character.

The extensive use of tomatoes 10 an
article of food has caused many in
quiries to be made as to their food
value. The nutriment present in to-
matoes in the largest amount is sugar,
while the organic acids are the main
substances which give individuality or
character. In tables of analysis toma-
toes are given as containing from 90

CHAPTER XIv.-(Continued.)
They began retracing their steps.
Zelda walking beside Pollock. to whom
h talked with unusual vivacity. She
did not speak to Leighton again until
the two young men said goodnight at
the veranda.
What did you treat him that way
for" demanded Olive, facing Zelda IN
the hall as soon as the door closed.
What are you talking about? The
moon must have-
1T wasn't the moon! You said
something unkind to Mr.. Leighton. He
walked back to the house with me
without saying a word. You shouldn't
treat a man that way, ever If you are
my cousin-a tine, splendid fellow like
Morris Leighton!"
You foolish, sentimental young
thing. la on earth has got into YOU?
Mr.. Leighton talked to me about Wag-
ner-I think 1t was Wagner, and he
didn't interest me q bit. I'm going to
bed"
She went to her room and closed and
locked the door. Then she drew back
the curtains and looked out upon the
night. Through an opening in the trees
she saw Pollock and Leighton standing
together In the highway outside the
gate. Pollock a walked out leading
his horse and he stood for greater ease
in talking to Leighton. The men were
clearly outlined, for 1t was as light as
day. Suddenly they shook hands,: then
they lifted their hats to each other.
Pollock mounte his horse and rode off
rapidly c~ountryward, and Leighton
turned toward the interurban station.
It was Leighton's solitary figure that
Zelda's eyes followed. She saw him
pause just at the edge of a strip Of
woodland, glance toward the house, and
then walk slowly away. while her eye
still rested on the spot where she had
seen him last.
It was a sweet thing to know that
Morris leighton loved her. She had
felt that 1t would come some time; it
was one OF the inevitable things; and
his reference to her singing, to the
dream, had thrilled her with an ex-
Quisite delight. Any woman might be
proud Of a love like this; yet she had
treated 1t lightly, almost insolently;
and a good woman might not lightly
thrust aside the love OF a good man!
She was still gazing with unseeing
eyes upon he oonlit world when Oh
I've came to the door. tried 1t and found
1t locked.
please, Cousin Zee, I came to beg
forgiveness. I didn't mean to scold
you-about anything!" she said.
please don't think I would NEEDLE IN
your affairs, Zee. I was just sorry for
Mr.. Leighton, that's all. He's 80 fine
and strong n good-and he seemed
so detected, or l thought he did"
"Oh, it's the goodness; it's the good
ness that I hate!' cried Zelda. Please
ge-l don't know whatAI mean" and
h thrust Olive into the hall and
closed the door.

Composition Of Tomato.

90 to LOO protein. and $50 to 4.S0 per
cent. Of carbohydrates.
When the tomato is used for food,
care should be taken to retain all Of
the juice, as the nutrients are present
largely in soluble form and any d.
minution of the amount of Juice en-
tails a corresponding loss of nutrients.
In its favorable influence upon the d.
gestibility of other foods. the tomato
has considerable value.

The Nurses Opinion.

A nurse had been called as a wit
ness to prove the correctness of the
bill of a physician.
Let us get at the facts in tho
case" said the lawyer, who was do
ing a cross-examination stunt. Didn't
the doctor make several visits after
the patient was out of danger?"
mo, sir" answered the nurse. 81

long as the doctor continued his Wis

Corn H.ve..jno

Corn harvesting will soon be urder
way in the more southern sections Of
the corn belt. The best thing about the
modern corn harvest is the corn har-
vester. The worst thing about putting
up SUFFICIENT fodder when we were boys
was the corn knife.

CHAPTER XIV

Ezra cameron had never been hap
pier than during this summer. His life
had run for Years an eventless course;
his interests had been small and he
had been content to have them so. But
since the gamblers passion had fixed
Its gives upon him he had become a
changed being. He walked with a
quicker step; his dropping shoulders
grew erect: he was a new man, living
In q new paradise hat folly was con-
structing for him. He enjoyed the
farm greatly, rising betimes to direct
the work Of his laborers. He permit
ted Zelda to drive him In her runabout
to the interurban station-a conces-
sion In itself significant Of a greater
Difference to the comfort and ease Of
living.
Jack Balcombs fiat scheme had hung
ire during the spring. with only half
the stock Of theP atoka Land and Inn
provement Company sold; but Balcomb
had taken it UP again, determined to
carry It through. Cameron always In
sisted. when Balcomb approached him,
that he did not care to sell the tract
o N the creek which the promoter cov-
eted; but he never rebuffed Balcomb
entirely. It had occurred to cameron
that Balcomb might be OF use to him,
The young man was. moreover, . new
species. who talked of large affairs In
An intimate way That fell In well with
pameron's new ideas Of business, and
he accepted Balcomb at So high q val
uation an he ever placed upon any one.
Balcomb called one day at the dingy

said. Your Office Is positively coo. You

a his shirt and socks.

like me. There's q disposition ali along
