Often wins. This is true because it is
perfectly natural for us to become IN
fatuated with whatever is pretty on
the face, or to use the common ex-
preston, Looks good" to us. For
this very reason in matters where we
do not know and have no way of
learning in day or two we often eb-
lieve a lie and turn down the truth.
These are strong terms, but neverthe-
less cold facts.
This truth or these facts are taken
advantage of in the Piano business as
much and perhaps more than in any
other line.
A hint to the wise is sufficient. AS
before stated in lads" we have lost
deals on pianos because we told exact
| ly what we knew to be the truth. Now
we want our customers and competi-
tors to understand that we do not
claim, nor do we believe, by and means
that we are the only honest piano
dealers in the country. If you don't
know what a piano is, it is safe act
to buy from a dealer that has always
proven truthful in other things and
is doing a piano business on the same
legitimate principles.
We want the piano trade of this
town and county, and if absolute hon
esty will get it, we will have it, other
wise we will lose it.

From almost all sections comes the re-

bats, rye, wheat, flax, clovers and the
Early varieties of potatoes.
This is particularly noticeable in the
great corn and oat and potato growing
states.
Thus: The great states of Nebraska and
Iowa are suffering from\a dearth of seed
corn as never before.
The wide-awake farmers in these and
other states are placing their orders early
Tor above seeds in order to be on the safe
side, and we can but urge farmers to
write at once to the John A. Salzer Seed
Co, Box lS2, La Crosse, Wis.,, for their

estimated when one knows that in ordi-
uary years they sell:
$1,000 bushels of elegant seed corn.
100000 bushels of seed potatoes.
100000 bushels of seed oats.
$4,000 bushels of seed wheat.

table seeds such as onions, cabbages, car
rots. peas, beans, lettuce, radishes, toma-
toes, etc.

CHAPTER XIX.
Helen Takes Me to Task.

| paced the breezy terrace at Glen
arm, studying my problems, and STUN
bling into new perplexities at every
turn. My judgment has usually served
me poorly in my own affairs, which I
have generally confided to Good Luck,
that most amiable of goddesses; and
| glanced out upon the lake with some
notion, perhaps, of seeing her fairy
sail drifting toward me. But there, to
my yexation hung the Stiletto, scarce
ly moving in the indolent air of noon.
There was, felt again, something sim
lister in the very wilderness of it's
pocket-handkerchief of canvas as it
stole lazily before the wind. Did Miss
Pat, in the school beyond the wall, see
| and understand, or was the yacht
hanging there as menace or stimulus
to Helen Holbrook, to keep her alert
in her fathers behalf?
There are ladies to see you, sir"
announced the maid, and l found
Helen and Sister Margaret waiting in
the library.
The sister, as though by prearrange-
ment, went to the farther end of the
room and took up book.
81 wish to see you alone" said Hell
en-, land 1 didn't want Aunt Pat to
know l came" and she glanced toward
Sister Margaret, whose brown habit
and nuns bonnet had merged into the
shadows of a remote alcove.
| The brim of Helen's white-plumed
hat made little dusk about her eyes.
Pink and white became her; she put
aside her parasol and folded her I'M
gloved hands, and then, as she spoke,
her head went almost imperceptibly to
one side, and l found myself bending
forward as 1 studied the differences
between her and the girl on the Tippe-
canoe. Helen's lips were fuller and
ruddier, her eyes darker, her lashes
longer. But there was another differ
ence, too subtle for my powers Of
analysis; something less obvious than
the length of lash or the color of eyes;
and l was not yet ready to give a
name to it. OF one thing was sure:
My pulses quickened before her; and
her glance thrilled through me as Ros-
alind's had not.
Mr.. Donovan, l have come to ap-
peal to you to put an end to this mis-
cradle affair ir o which we have
brought you. My own position has
grown too difficult, too equivocal, to be
borne any longer. You saw from
my fathers conduct last night how
hopeless it is to try to reason with
him. He has brooded upon his troubles
until he is half mad. And learned
from him what had not dreamed of.
that my Uncle Arthur is here-here,
of all places. l suppose you know
that"

at me.

at the boathouse, to see your mistake;

Il don't know when l shall have a

on, provokingly. Il learned a good

which have already frankly disclosed
in this chronicle, and wondered, with
her counterpart before me, how much
Helen really meant to me. Rosalind
J studied me with her frank, merry
| eyes; then she bent forward and ad-
dressed me with something of that
president air with which my sisters
used to lecture me.
| Mr.. Donovan, l fear you are a little
mixed in your mind this morning, and
l propose to set you straight"
| About what, If you please?"
Il can tell you exactly why 1t is that
Helen has taken so strong hold of your
Internationally, in fact, you are in
love with her."
Not that-not that"
She snatched the foil from the table
and cut the air with it several times
as | started toward her. Then she
stamped her foot and saluted me.
Stand where you are, sir! Your
race, Mr.. Donovan, has bad reputa
ton in matters Of the heart. For a mo,
ment you thought you were in love
with me; but you are not, and you are
not going to be. You see, understand
you perfectly"
That's what my sisters used to tell
me-"
Precisely? And I'm another one OF
your sisters-you must have scores OF
them!-and expect you to be increas

Apropos of Valentines day, pas
senger on the Bermudian said:
Mark Twain once told us, in little
Valentine day speech on this boat, of
an Irish wooer who had the right
Valentine spirit. Acceptance or re-
lection he could take with equal
grace.
"'Will we be my valentine?' he said,
on February IA, to the girl he loved.
No she replied; I am another's.

Veddahs of ceyIon Regarded as Rep
resenting the Stone Age.

The oldest inhabitants of Ceylon are
passing away. These are the famous
Veddahs.
Fifty years ago 1t was estimated
that 5000 of them were still living In
the forests, but DR.. Max Moszkowski,
who has recently visited them, says
there are only so or 60 of them still
alive and that few more years will
see the end Of their race.
The Veddahs have interested an
thropologists because they have been
regarded as the best living types Of
the man of the stone age.
The attitude of the Cingalese toward
them is remarkable. They hold the
poor creatures In great honor and rank
them as belonging to the highest caste
In the island. The reason is that they
are reputed to have descended from
the ancient demons or spirits that
were the original possessors Of the
island.
