Mr Riley had got up carly to stroll about the farm

way to get the fun enjoyment out of farm life Is to

The air of culture about Hazeldcn is the more
noticeable because the house contains thousands of
dollars worth OF curios brought from afar, with
which il would have been easy to work a bizarre,
muscum-likc eGfect-which is exactly what did not
happen. Mr.. Ade in his travels to the Orient and
the world has gathered together works of art
that tell of his refined cultivated taste. Nearly
