"Well?"-and we paused, while she
dropped the hood upon her shoulders.

What does she call him? I'm blest

AS we passed the open door the
dance ceased and a throng of young
people came gayly out to take the air.
We Joined the procession, and were
accepted without remark. Several
men whom I had seen in the village
or met in the highway nodded amiably.
Gillespie, I knew, was waiting some
where; and I gave Rosalind final adj
monitions.

Gillespie advanced eagerly, with
happiness alight in his face.

"Oh, Mr.. Donovan is the kindest per-

that she asked me whether I knew

you will pardon me for saying that
you owe him no further mercy"
He thrust his hands into his pockets
and paced the floor moment, before
he said:
"You are quite right. But am sure
you will be very careful of my little
girl; she is all I have-quite all I
have"
He went to the hall and called her
and bowed with graceful old-fash-
Toned courtesy that reminded me of
Miss Pat as Rosalind came into the
room.
"Will do, gentlemen, all?" she
asked, gayly. do look the fraud

She unclasped the tiny locket that
hung from slight band of velvet at
her throat and threw it aside; and her

New Uses For Alfalfa.

Alfalfa, which until comparatively
recently, was considered as feed Tor
cattle, horses and hogs only, has been
discovered to have value as a food
FOR humans. The dry leaves are be-
Ing ground into meal and flour and
sold on the market as a composition
out Of which bread, biscuits, pancake
and pastry are being made.
To make the alfalfa meal and flour
the grass Is cut early in June and at
a time when 1t is In full bloom. It
Is cured IN the sun and, Il possible,
without being wet by rain. When
thoroughly dry the leaves are strip
ped from the stalks and these leaves
mixed with wheat at a ratio Of, one
third Alfalfa and twothirds wheat,
are ground into coarse meal This
meal Is used for cakes as we'll as
for breakfast food. That desired for
bread and pastry is ground still fin
er and bohed, and when placed upon
the market can be sold for about 80
cents per sack Of fifty pounds, where
as good grade of wheat flour will
retail at $1.50 to $1.75 per sack Of
the same weight.
So far as can be regarded as OBJ
jecionable about the alfalfa meal or
flour is the color. Instead of being
white it is a bright emerald green.
This color remains through the cook
ing process, and a plate of hot bis
cults or "plaIte Of cakes comes TO
the table as green as the grass Of
the field.
So far as being nutritious; the alfal
ia product has the wheat and corn
badly beaten, and experiments show
that a man who eats alfalfa products
can work longer and harder, eXper
iencing less fatigue than a man who
makes meal out of meat. Then
too, it is a medicine in a way. as il
acts upon the nerves, and doctors
have commenced prescribing it as q
remedy for insomnia.
For the nerves the alfalfa hay
comes to the consumer in another
form. The blossoms are gathered
just as the time when they are il
full bloom. Like the hay, they ar,
bone dry they are ground to a fin,
powder, which is a light blue. Thi
powder is made into tablets and cor
stitutes a medicine that, while it vii
not cure all the ills, will play hayo
with insomnia, indigestion and a.
manner Of stomach difficulties.
Alfalfa is a crop that can be raise
on almost any kind Of land, but
thriveS best where the soil is loos
and porl1s. with a subsoil that is {
, similar character. In other word
It will not do as we'll, nor can tn
lest results be obtained on claye
, land or land with heavy and soil
subsoil. So far as investigation hS
been carried, the states Of Nebrask
i Kansas. Wyoming and Colorado ha'
> been the most successful in the CT
ture Of the plant.

EnfoneA thu Law.

During the last week there were
two serious auto accidents reported
in this state, one m our neighboring
county Of Rice. IN which two young
hves were snuffed out, and one near
Topeka. In which \ prominent Kansas
CITY business man lost his life. The
former accident was no doubt due
o. the speed mania, but on the lat
ter there Is some question. The
week before a prominent citizen Of
Larned, who also has a mania for
making distance fugit with his rae.
Ing car. made the trip from Larned
to Great Bend in about twenty-three
minutes. This was made over the
main travelled road between these tive
towns. For his desire to annihilate
distance, he was fined in both towns.
He should have been. There should
be more filming. A man who will use
the public highway as did the Larned
man should be fined often. He should
be fined on general principles for
counting death. This sort of busi.
ness will go on, and on, and on. I'M
I'll there is no telling how many fresh
mounds there will be in the ceme-
teries, or how many crippled people
Will be living off OF their more for
tunate neighborS, If the laws are
not enforced and a stop put to this
fast driving.
We know how exhilirating It Is to
get into a machine and "go some"
but we had better put off this sort
OF business and have the chance to
live little longer. We have a state
law in this state which makes It a
punishable offense to drive an auto
faster than ten miles per hour IN
city. or twenty miles per hour in
the country districts. This law
should be enforced Just. as wen ~
any other law. Fast driving Is a dan
gerous thing to do, especially after
night. There may be cases In sick.
meas. accidents, or something Of that
kind. when a stretching Of the speed
limit could be overlooked, but for all
practical purposes twenty miles per
hour Is fast enough. Let us have
this law enforced the same as are
other laws and We will have fewer &c
cidents with their always attendant
distressing results. You know a
stitch In time saves nine, and that
an ounce Of prevention Is worth q
pound Of cure. Well, that Is the
point Let Us adhere to 1t.

Martin Musil Of Elllinwood, Kansas,
thinks the farmer Is entitled to home
comforts as we'll as city folks. MT.
Musil recalls the time when the aver
age farmer out in that section OF the
state had very few comforts and whel
the settlers had to face a good many
hardships. But now it is very differ
ent. He owns a farm OF over 9OO
acres that he could sell very readily
for SIS an acre. Most of this land
he secured, of course, when lands
were cheap, and when the country
was very new. Today, however, Mr.
Musil owns a very handsome farm
house. fitted up with every modern
improvement. He has a gasoline en-
CINE that he can use to run his
private electric light plant, besides
he has his house fitted up with the
very lat st plumbing and piping, with
hot and cold water. A furnace and
bath room are also to be found in
his comfortable home. We were
compelled to do without these things
a good many years" said Mr.. Musil
but now | see no good reason wh!
we should not have good homes ant
comforts the same as other people
Money is of no use to one unless n,
spends it. l do not mean to squand
er and spend foolishly, but for tn,
actual comforts of life, for which
was really intended. Hoarding 1t !
harmful, 1t seems to me. We have q
over that part Of the state farmer
who now ride about in automobiles
and they are not the common o
;heaper kinds, but expensive and VI
odate machines. We have a fin
country in which to run them, as
IS level and nice, which is anotht
great advantage. And so in lookin
about, | see many signs Of substal
tial prosperity. All these improve
ments simply reflect the general co
ditions Of the country."-Drove
