holding OF great tracts OF land and
Keeping IL vacant Is a direct and seri-

that the smaller the farm, the greater
the margin of profit and the greater
the yield per acre. The reason for
this is plain-the farmer who can see
both sides of his farm at the same
time knows the condition of the whole
of It; can master the study of its soils
knows their possibilities and their
limitations; can practice intensive
methods, and cultivate his acres fal

He did not risk trying to answer
her. All his will power was directed
to keeping the real significance Of the
yachts disappearance from showing
in his face.
She had turned to him quite casual
ly for an answer. but not getting 1t,
remained looking intently into his
eyes. "Mr. Cayley," she asked pres
emily. were you telling me last night
what you really thought was true. or

"They may have all been killed before
they could get back to shore. or some
of them may have been captured. No,
really don't think you need worry
about them"
She drew long deep breath, flung
out her arms wide. and then stretched
them skyward. What a day 1t is.
