alluringly, yet with diminishing clear
ness, until at last she vanished and
there was nothing but the gray veil
and little else beyond.
At the door of his rooms he paused
long while, bordering over Edith's
assurance of her love for him. At last
he flung his head up and drew a sharp
breath "What donkey l amv' he
muttered angrily. .'Of course she
wants a good time, and I'm selfish
beast to expect her to make the sacri-
fee I'll just clear out with Ellis, and
the air of the north will drive the cob
webs from my brain and make me see
things straight"
On Thursday he set forth with Dick
Ellis bound for the Canadian woods
AS they left Boston behind in a mist
of smoke Roderick thought, with a
sharp pang, that spring would have
rolled around before he saw 1t again.
And Edith-for she would return at
Easter before going abroad with her
aunt-would she have forgotten him
would she learn to care for another?
Dick Ellis broke in on his reverie with
some commonplace, and thereafter the
talk was all about game and fishing
and Roderick's pictures.
Anjou was a quaint enough settle
ment of little houses, crowded together
as if for warmth from the wintry
blasts that swept screaming through
the woods. shaking the trees to the
very roots and swapping dead branches
with sound like pistol shots. In the
house of Ellis guide, an Englishman
named Peter Bush. they found iodg-
ings. and Roderick secured the empty
loft over the kitchen for his own espe
cial retreat. The stovepipe from the
big heater ran through the loft and
warmed it comfortably, but ROderick
loved to lie near the trapdoor in the
floor and look down into the smoke
wreathed room where Ellis and other
neighboring sportsmen gathered about
the stove and told their stories.
ROderick made several sketches that
might develop into the great picture.
but he felt no especial enthusiasm
about pushing his work forward.
Edith's attitude had somehow set the
machinery of his life out Of adjust
mer.t. He told himself that only she
could make matters right again. Every
mail he watched for letter from her.
but the letters came rarely and were
lacking in the great essential that he
craved-her assurance that she missed
him in her new life; that she longed
for the time when they would no
longer be separated. when the years
probation would be over. But she
never wrote of these things. Her let
tiers were mere frothy jottings Of her
gay life--of her happiness-and care.

The Cotton Plant,

Cotton is indigenous to all inter
tropical regions and has history
that reaches away back into the
early times. It is mentioned by
Herodotus and was known in the
time of Mohammed. It does not
appear to have been as extensively
used in antiquity, however, as it is
at present, although it was used to
a considerable extent in China as
early as the thirteenth century and
appears to have been the chief ar
ticle Of clothing among the Indians

tact. It was not until the invention

Two Hairdressings Yearly.

In Abyssinia the dressing Of a
young woman's hair is effected in
the following manner: The girl
seats herself upon the ground; an
other woman, armed with a wooden
comb, squats before her. With this
weapon she attacks the knots, pull
ing and Juggling at them until they
are Strengthened out in some de-
gree. Then a portion Of the hair is
caught up at the nape of the neck
the remainder is permitted to re
main loose upon the shoulders.
This couture is supposed to remain
in order for some time, as the proc
ess is repeated only once or twice a
wear.

Raising Strawberries

The best time to set srawberry
bed is the early spring, as soon as
the land is in good condition and the
plants can be obtained. There is
more moisture as a rule at that
time; and this, combined with the
cool weather of spring, gives better
growing conditions than August
planting. Plants may also be set III
the fall, if extra attention and care
are given them. It does not pay to
set the plants in dry soil or dry
season, unless plenty of water for
irrigation purposes is available.
Strawberries require rich soil,
hence it is well to thoroughly
manure the land that is to be used
for the crop in the fall, and pillow
under from four to six inches deep.
In the spring, disc, drag and smooth
thoroughly. This gives loose soil
in which to set the plants, and a
firm sub-soil to hold the mois tnre,
and yet open enough to let the roots
through. Any land that will grow
a good crop of corn will grow
strawberries. Sod land should
never be used if it can be prevented,
as it is likely to contain 'grubs and
cut worms, which will eat off the
roots of newly set plants, A nor tn
ern slope is to be preferred. as the
plants do not start so early in the
spring. They thus escape the early
frosts and they are not so likely to
be dried out by the hot south and
southwest winds at fruiting time.
Plants having a small crown, and a
large number of white fibrons roots,
are best for planting, 1t is not q
good plan to use plants that have
borne fruit. as they are weaker.
The best plants are obtained from
plantations that have not been al
lowed to fruit. Their roots are
white, while the roots of the old
plants are brown. Before plan ting
all dead leaves should be removed.
The roots should be pruned back to
about 8 or A inches. All flowers
should be kept off the plants the
first season. as this provides a
stronger growth. 1t is best to get
the plants from nurseryman or
specialist, as they are not as likely
to be mixed as when obtained from
a neighbor. University Farm.

EalIinQ Iasaves.

1t is not every one, even in these
days Of close nature study, who
knows that leaves fall because they
are actually cut off from the stem
by layer Of cork that forms across
The base of their stalks. This proc
ess is explained very strikingly by
Professor Boulger in knowledge,
and, what is more, he points out
that no nourishment is left in the
dead leaf, but only the waste prod

The Windmill In War.

A letter quoted in 'oThe First

reads like a page from 'Don Quix-

Hotham during the civil war:
"1642, Oct. Hull.-Upon Sunday
night last, as the neighbors of Sher-
borne tell our men, they (the Cava-
liers) drew certain forces out of
York to have set upon my sons
men at Cawood. When they came
in Sherborne, a village three miles
from Cawood, they espied wind
mill, which they took for my sons
colors marching to meet them, and
certain stocks of bean for his men
in order. Whereupon they returned
in more haste than they came.

At last, however, after the novice
