whole story of an exquisite and expectanf

The last note came from her lips almost
as though unwfllingly, and was pro-

II died away, its passing seemed some
thing almost unrealizable. 1t quivered
away into a silence which lasted for
many seconds before the gathering roar
or applause swept the house. And in
those last few seconds she had turned
and faced Bellamy. Their eyes met, and
the light which flashed from his seemed
answered by the quiverfng OF her throat.
1t was her goodbye. She was singing a
new love song. singing her way into the
life of the man whom she loved, singing
her way into love itself. Once more the
great house. packed to the ceiling, was
worked up to state OF frenzied excite

sentiment through the house whose only
possible form of expression took to itself

with him in that bundle Of cast-of UNI
brellas that he carries under his arm
Among these there are broken-doWn UNI
brellas of various dimensions from which
he can choose part that will serve for
the mending of any sort of umbrella.
For such use he takes from the old

reduced them to the bare stick, which
finally he throws away; but his stock for
the supply of parts he .renews readily
from umbrellas broken down beyond re-

But it is not alone broken ribs and

also supply handles. You will note that
in that bundle of old umbrellas there are
some so far gone that they have not even
a handle left From these he has sold
the handles in the course of his varied
repair work. and such handles as he has

It is by his deft use of pincers and
hammers and such tools that he is known

He can darn small holes neatly and sew
up rips, and he draws down trinity to

them securely where they belong, to the

Wan AND HIS MATE.

Among the questions to be dis
cussed by a Bible class at a Brazil
church the other day, was: "How
long ought a man to live with his
wife?" That all depends upon cir
cumstances. He is expected to live
with her just as long as she saws
and splits the wood, spades the gar
den, prepares good steaming hot
meals on time, resigns from all the
women's clubs, declines to discuss
the suffrage question, keeps his
clothing repaired, and asks no ques-
lions when he drops in home about
Q a. m. from the 'lodge." When a
wife does all these, there is no limit
to the length of time a man would
live with such a woman.-Linton

There is no danger of cleaning the
dairy utensils too much.
For the nan who never has kept
poultry, 25 hens are enough. More
would be a handicap.
; Anything that Is worth doing at all
is worth doing we'll. This applies to
every branch of farming.
Leave ten feet of space at each end
of the garden for turning rows and
seed these spaces to grass for wide
end walks.
Cows should be MIXED regularly,
and as nearly as possible by the same
persons and at the same hour each
night and morning.
Plant plenty of sweet corn. 1t is
a wholesome food, and the surplus,
stalks and all is the very finest food
for cows and horses.
Remember to supply plenty of grit
to the young poultry. They need 1t
as much as mature birds. Grit forms
part of their digestive system.
Earthen water-fountains In the poul-
try yard are better than tin ones
The former will keep the water cooler
in summer and warmer In winter.
A narrow border Of flowers. shrubs
or vines may be placed along the
spaces next to the fence and the
scheme will enhance the beauty of
the garden.
Eight hundred miles of improved
roads are to be undertaken by the
Southern Appalachian Good Roads
association. OF these 200 miles are to
be in North Carolina.
Take care to avoid shoulder gals
and saddle sores. Lift the collar from
the horses neck occasionally and al
low it to cool. and be careful to see
that the harness does not rub.
