The drag not only smooths the road
but crowns it, and puddles the mud sc
that it is hard when dry.
These drags have been used with
great success on clay or water-holding
soils. Many stretches of black gum.
DO roads in the west are maintained by
the use Of this implement alone.
Every farmer should own one, and
after rain he should spend few
hours on the road adjacent to his farm
If there are many depressions to fill
the drag should be used when the road

After it has been used long enough
to make the road fairly smooth, the
drag gives the best results if used
when the earth begins to dry.

MANNER OF CUTTING STAKES
If Care Is Taken to Sharpen the

poles and other stakes to enable them
to enter the ground easily it takes sew

All this trouble may be entirely done

thing while in the matter of seed low
prices and bargains cannot go to-

Take, for instance, turnips. When
we see one man charging twice the
price quoted by another of course the
higher priced is usually for new and
improved varieties, but we often find
difference Of price for one variety.
one man may charge for seed which
only terminates 80 per cent, while
another charges half as much again
for seed terminating so per cent,
while another charges half as much
again for seed terminating 95 per

he could not have analysed and
which ciu.ched at his heart and urged
him to follow the path that led to
Marions. For time he resisted the
impulse. What IL she should come by
another path while he was gone? He
waited nervously in the edge OF the
forest, watching, and listening for
footsteps Each minute seemed like an
hour marked into seconds by the SOL

after a little he found himself I'M

into the path. He followed 1t. step
by step, until he could no longer see
the light in the cabin; his pulse beat
little faster; he stared ahead into
the deep gloom between the walls Of
forest-and quickened his pace. If
Marion was coming to him he would
meet her. If she was not coming
In his old fearless way he promptly
made up his mind. He would go bold
ly to the cabin and tell that Neil was
waiting. He felt sure that the alarm
sounding from st. James had drawn
away the guards and that there would
be nothing to interfere with his plan.
IL she had already left the cabin he
would return quickly to Obadiah's. In
his eagerness he began to run. Once
a sound stopped him-the distant beat
ing of galloping hoofs He heard the
shout of man, a reply farther away,
the quick, excited yelping of dog.
His blood danced as he thought Of
the gathering of the Mormon fighters,
the men and boys racing down the
black trails from the inland forests,
the excitement in ST.. James. AS he
ran on again he thought of Arbor
Croche mastering the painting, venge-

voice booming encouragement and

children and beyond and above all the
hundred beats, thousand men-and
there went out from his soul if not
from his lips a great cry of joy. At
the edge of the forest he stopped for
moment. Over beyond the clearing
a light burned dimly through the Ii
laos. The sweet odor of the flowers
came to him gently. persuasively, and
nerved him into the open. He passed
across the open space swiftly and
plunged into a tangle of bushes close
to the lighted window
He heard mans voice within, and
then woman's. Was it Marion?
Cautiously Nathaniel crept close to
the log wall of the cabin. He reached
out, and hesitated. Should he look

it was not woman's words that he

table and beside the table there sat q
woman, her white head turned from
him, her face buried in her hands. She
was an old woman and he knew that
it was Marions mother. He could not
see the man.
Where was Marion? He wormed
himself back out of the bushes and
walked quickly around the house.
There was no other light, no other
sign of life except in that one room.
With sudden resolution he stepped to
the door and knocked loudly.
For full half minute there was
silence, and he knocked again. He
heard the approach of a shutting step,
the thump, thump, thump Of a cane, and
the door swung back. 1t was the man
who opened it, tall giant of an old
man, doubled as if with rheumatism,
and close behind him was the fright
ened face of the woman. An involun.
tary shudder passed through Ma,
thaniel as he looked at them. They
were old-so old that the mans shriv-
eled hands were like those of a skel
eton; his giant frame seemed about
to totter into ruin, his eyes were
,sunken until his face gave the horror
Of death mask. Was it possible that
these people were the father and
mother of Marion-and OF. Neil? AS
he stepped to the threshold they tim
idly drew back from him. In a sin,

and what he saw thrilled him, for
everywhere were signs Of Marion: in
the pictures on the wallis, the snowy
curtains, the cushions In the window

the mantle.
