leaned back to make a comfortable
survey and reflect upon his discovery
at leisure. Instead of one there wer,
two persons for whom he could not
account. Perhaps there were more
four, five, six, a dozen. Why not?
Room was not lacking. True. he had
been given to understand, both by Bul

in the library, dropped lace handker-
chiefs and occupied rooms in the main
portion Of the house could not be
servants.
The Cherub wondered and speculat-
ed and made wild guesses as to the
Identity of the persons in those upper
rooms. Having no starting point, no
clew to follow, he arrived nowhere.
Give it up" he said. Guess I'll
go to bed"
Why he should rise at the unearthly
hour of 6, however, he explained in
quite a different way. He accused a
few twittering sparrows of waking
him. Perhaps. too, it was the spar

circuit of the grounds. Quite Incl

The closed shutters revealed nothing.
Finding a bench under a tree, he sat
down and began to wonder how long
it would be before he might call for
his breakfast without seeming unsea-
sonable. He was aroused by Il crunch
crunch of footsteps on the gravel.
Some one was walking down one of
the intersecting paths.
During the brief instant that he
stared he had a glimpse of a slender,
big eyed young woman whose hair
hung in a thick, dark braid over one
shoulder. Across the hollow of her
left arm was a sheaf of freshly cut
flowers. in her right hand a pair of
shears. And then she saw him.
'Oh!'
Down fell the roses. The shears
clattered on the stones.
BY the time he could scramble to his
feet she had gathered up her flowers
and the shears. She stood quite still,
eying him with apprehensive expecta-
ton.
"Eh?' said the Cherub.
I'll said nothing" replied the young
woman.

An invention which gives promise of
being of immense benefit to the orange
packing industry has lately been in
stalled in the plant of the Redlands
Orange Growers association. In brief.
it Is device in which the fruit is SUBJ
jected to an alcohol bath, the perfectly
sound and solid fruit going to the bot
tom of the tank and the light and i'm.
perfect fruit remaining at the surface,
whence 1t is removed by an endless
conveyor This simple device not only
accomplishes what the human hand
and eye cannot. but it has been found
that fruit given the alcohol bath keeps
longer and in a better state of preser-
walton through destruction of all rot
spores on the surface The cost of the
operation is tx cents per box for al
cohol and 2A cents for labor.
The New York state department OF
agriculture has lately issued book
of some 200 pages giving descriptions
of occupied and unoccupied farms in
the Empire State which are for sale
or rent. Doubtless such descriptions
would give prospective buyer fair
idea Of these properties: but, as is
equally true in the purchase of lands
in the west, they should not be bought
without being given a careful first
hand inspection. There is little ques-
ton that many of these places are
real bargains-price. quality of land
and nearness to market considered
while there are some others which
would hardly justify paying price
which would equal the taxes and cost

The conviction seems to be growing
in the minds Of those who have in
quired into the matter that sweet clo-
ver-until lately viewed as useless
roadside weed-may have much to
commend it as a substitute for alfalfa
in sections where climatic or soil con-
ditions seem to forbid the growing of
the latter most valuable legume. No
soil seems so thin and unpromising
that the sweet clover does not flourish
and do well on it. 1t is rank grower,
laughs at dry weather and yields a
hay that is nutritious and that stock
will readily acquire liking for II cut
before the stalks get too dry and
tough. There are firms which have
the seed for sale. while the conditions
for sowing it are about the same one
should follow in getting a start with
alfalfa, including we'll mellowed seed

encouragingly Of the results which they
