The lovers who had anticipations of
happy union now had before them
separation by death. Lady Treyelyn
shut herself up with her daughter and
would have no communication with
her husband. blaming him for the hor
ror he had brought upon his family.
1t was now too late to recall what he
had done The law must take it's course
Preparations were being made for the
execution, and the people, as was the
custom in those days, were f1ocking in
for the spectacle.
A few days before the expected
tragedy cold rain and fog swept over
England. The baron, who sought TO
distract his thoughts by occupying
himself with his accounts, sent'f0r
sweep to take the SCOT out of the chin
ney Of his office preparatory to build
ing a fire on the hearth. While the
sweep was at work Sir Bryan entered
the room, sat down at his desk and
busted himself with his papers. So
preoccupied was he, rather with hts
somber thoughts than his work, that
he did not hear any sound within or
without
Suddenly he was recalled to his sur
roundings by a cough directly in front
Of him. Looking up, there stood fig
ure black as Erebus. 1t was the Chin
ney sweep, whose extended hand held
a small piece Of paper so smudged
with SCOT that it's character could not
be readily recognized. The baron
mechanically took it and examined it.
A sudden light came into his eye,
ing note. The sweep had found it In
the chimney, where, carried by draft
of air when Sir Bryan had opened the
door. it had remained ever since
Like a cyclone Of Joy the baron
swept through the house and stood
beating on the door Of the room where
his wife and daughter had shut them
selves in, crying: 'The note. 1t is
found. The boy is saved" The door
was flung open, and the old man rush
ed in, brandishing the smudged note
above his head. Then, when the sit

Leaving her with her mother, the
baron rushed to the house Of the magis-
trate and before leaving had secured
an order for the release Of Edgar Cor
nish. The news spread, and when the
released prisoner left the Jail he was
attended by crowd Of citizens. He
had not proceeded far when he was
met by Gladys Trevelyn. and their
meeting was greeted by the shouts of
the people,
Sir Bryan Trevelyn spent the rest of
his life trying to atone for his fault.
Had it not been for the sweeping of
chimney he would have caused the
execution Of an innocent man and
blighted his daughters life. AS to the
sweep, he swept no more. He was
given the note he had found and lived
for the rest Of his life on the estate,
enjoying a pension.

The Lost Banknofe
By HERBERT l.. SULLIVAN

TRHERE was a period in England
when the crime of stealing or
forging a banknote was pun
ishable. with death. AT this
time there lived in Devonshire Sir
Bryan Trevelyn. His estate was large,
and on it were many tenants. He
had but one child, daughter Gladys,
who would inherit his property, and
between her and Edgar Cornish, the
son of clergyman, had sprung up an
ardent love. Sir Bryan opposed the
match, having higher intentions for
his daughter, but she was a girl of
firm disposition and gave him reason
to suppose that if he. did not give his
consent to the match she would make
a trip with her lover to Gretna Green.
Fearing this, he consented, and that
his future son-in-law might learn to
manage the estate Gladys would in
herit he made him his secretary and
accountant
One rent day Sir Bryan and his sec
rotary were receiving the rents. When
the last tenant had gone the former,
leaving fifty pound banknote on his
desk, left the room for paper he need
ed. On his return the note was gone.
He looked for it everywhere, assisted
by his secretary, but it was not to be
found.
Sir Bryan went to bed that night
convinced that the man who was to
be his son-in-law had stolen the note
Opposed to him before, he now became
determined that thief should not
marry his daughter and inherit his
property. However, the next morning
he had thorough search made of the
room in which the note had disappear
despite the pleadings Of his wife and
daughter, gave young Cornish over to
the authorities. preferring against him
a charge Of theft.
The courts In those days were not
the complicated affairs they are now.
The accuser stood high in the county.
and his word was a power. He told
the magistrate his story. He and Cor
nish were In the room alone together.
Sir Bryan went out for a few minutes,
leaving the note on his desk No one
entered during his absence. On his
return the note was missing. Since in
animate articles cannot remove them
selves 1t must have been appropriated
by the only living person present. 1t
was not found on Cornish's person,
but he was not searched till be was
arrested. He had had ample time to
dispose Of it. There was no defense
made for there was nothing on which
to base a defense. The crime was
committed in midsummer, and since
the courts were not given in those
days to spending much time over the
cases that came before them the trial
was concluded and sentence passed be-
fore September. Cornish was SEN
fenced to be hanged on the first Friday
in October.
Naturally every one connected with
the condemned was wrapped in gloom.

WHEN YOU STORE "sPUDS.' -
Ventilation and Temperature Main
Considerations In Keeping Potatoes.

The two main factors in storing po-

The temperature should be kept as
near 33 degrees r. as possible In a
storage cellar. Of course the tempera-
ture may vary several degrees and
make very little difference in the final
results. II there is any danger of
freezing 1t Is we'll to place a thermom-

oil heater may save many dollars
Be sure and make thorough provt-
sion for ventilation. 1t is absolutely
necessary that the warm air be carried
out and that cool air be admitted. es-
pecially when the potatoes are first
placed in storage. If the cellar under
the house must be used for storage it
is necessary that the potatoes be per-
fectly dry and clean when they are
brought in from the field. But II the
potatoes in the house cellar are to be
used only for family use they can
usually be safely placed in a single

Danger Of Freezing Lessened by Pack

Every farm must have wafer. The

able to use spring and others running

have to drill wells and pump out the
water later There are many methods
OF pumping. Hydraulic rams, gasoline
and hot air engines are used by many.
However. most farmers have to depend

trouble is eliminated when they are
put Overhead in barns: but there they
become dangerous. as the floor is apt
to be just a little weaker than is
thought. Tank houses solve the
problem. but they are expensive and
unnecessary. We have found that by
packing the tank around with sawdust
half way to it's top and by packing the
outlet and inlet pipes. the freezing be-
comes minor consideration. When
one is installing a system it does not
cost much more to have plenty of
troughs and MIGRANTS. Galvanized
pipe should be used. Even that lasts
work, it is comparatively easy to dig
the trench for the pipes few inches
deeper and to so place them beyond all
danger Of frost.

are sold plant food is removed.
But when crops are fed to ami

Plant your farm in a green
crop and keep your land busy.
When there is no crop there is

what is given some one else. If
there is to be any comfort in

jealousy must be crushed out.
The personal element must be
done away with at all times,
and we must all learn to make
ourselves as efficient as possible
In our various walks in life. To

always help, and added to this
we must forget ourselves except
