That evening neither she nor he mentioned politics;
but when she left him the dominating idea his mind

When three of the ten days had gone, he recog-
nized very attentive to the beautiful Mrs. Briggs
They had ridden wild gaop down the country roads
and she had played him close game at golf and, the
evening of the third night he had said her one of
his blunt, unheralded condolences:
You know, the thing like about you, Mrs. Briggs
is that you such good fellow in addition to your
brains. You're the only clever woman I've met up
here; mean well informed on public affairs"
Even then however, she did not try to discover his
political intentions
THE next morning after breakfast she was standing
in the sunlight on the veranda. She wore simple
morning dress of silver gray with we'll considered little
bows of cherry ribbon at throat and elbows.
You're wonderful" he told her as he grasped her
hand to good morning. ''You know so well how to
dress-what suits you, you know"

He looked at her quickly,
piercingly, and saw only that
she was much interested in
the matter because she was
much interested in politics
generally.

said, smiling, I'D tell you
what I've refused to confide

was in the remark a touch of

FERTILIZERS FOR BARLEY.

Don't think what you have received
from your grain is all profit until you
consider what you have taken from
the land.
A yield of barley of 40 bushels per
acre removes approximately 50
pounds nitrogen, 81 pounds phosphor>
&c acid and 3e pounds potash per
acre. The nitrogen increases the n.
pidity and quality of growth: the
phosphoric acid, which is Immediately
available, increases the formation OF
plant cells and hastens the ripening

Availed themselves Of the opportunity
Of securing select seed barley from

breed Of barley to the exclusion Of
nearly all other varieties.
