TENDERFEET WIN
WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
PloNS, ARE cockNEYS BORN
AND BRED.

City-bred in the worlds greatest
metropolis and unframed as to things
agricultural, were j. C. Hill and his
three boys when they settled on home
steads at Lloydminster, in the Prov
ince of Saskatchewan (western Can
ada), eight years ago. Today they
are the recognized champion oat grow
erS OF the North American continent,
having won twice in succession the
silver challenge cup, valued at 81 500,
at the Fifth National Corn exposition,
Columbia, S. c. The Plate, officially
known as the Colorado Dat trophy, is
emblematic of the grand champion
ship prize for the best bushel of oats
exhibited by individual farmers or ex-
pertinent farms a. these expositions.
The Hill entry won this year in the
face of the keenest competition, hun
dreds Of exhibits being sent by expe-
rienced farmers from all parts of the
United States and Canada. The oats

When Mr.. Hill and his three sons.
who probably never saw wider acre
age than the hills of Hampstead
Heath, or the parks Of London, came
to Saskatchewan eight years ago, they
| had little more capital than was re-
| quired for homestead entry fees. They
| filed on four homesteads, in the Lloyd
| minister district, which straddles the
boundary of Alberta and Saskatche-
| wan. They went to work with a will,
| ripping the rich brown sod with break
| ing plows and put in crop, which
yielded fair returns.
They labored early and late and de-
MED themselves paltry pleasures, glad
to stand the gait for a while in rising
| to their possibilities. They talked with
| successful farmers and studied crops
| and conditions and profited by both.
| The new life on the farm was strange
but they never lost heart, handicapped
as they were by lack of experience
and capital.
| The farm house, modern in every
respect, compares favorably with any
residence in the city. The Hills have
substantial bank accounts and their
! credit is gilt-edge from Edmonton to
Winnipeg and beyond.
There is nothing secret about our
methods nor is our plan copyrighted.
We first made thorough study of
climatic conditions, soil and seed"
said Mr.. Hill I'VE tended our crops
carefully and gradually added live
stock, realizing from the beginning
that mixed farming would pay larger
and more certain returns than straight
grain growing. We have demonstrated
that fact to our satisfaction and the
result is that many of the farmers in
the district are following our exam
pie"
The land that the Hills work is of
the same class as may be found any
where in Manitoba, Saskatchewan or
Alberta.-Advertisem

as a thickly-whiskered man with the
complexion of healthy infant and
eyes of baby blue. A watch chain,
given him by his colleagues in the old
days at Shasta, and formed Of squares
of quartz set in native gold, was paint
ed with a finished carefulness which
had pleased Mrs. Ryan even more
than the likeness had done. In show
ing the picture, she was wont to say
proudly: Just look at the watch
chain! Seems as If you could almost
hear the ticking of the watch"
Cannon was specializing as to the
merits of the likeness when he heard
the silken rustling Of skirts, and
turned to greet his old friend. She

dressed with a shining, smooth elab-
grafton, drawn up tightly at the sides
and arranged over her forehead in
careful curls. AS she and her visitor
exchanged the first sentences Of
greeting he noticed that she looked
much older and more worn than she
had done the last time he had seen
her, but her face was as full Of pugna-
cious force as ever. While Della

"Oh, that's Lee" she answered with
short laugh. HE waits on the door
every other Sunday. We've had him
ten years and no ones ever been able

But they certainly led me to believe

her brows knit.
Exactly. Offer her good sum on
the stipulation that she leaves him
and goes away to New York or Eu-
rope. Then in the course of time she
can write him asking him to grant her
divorce on some such technical
grounds as desertion, or Incompatible

able. He'll have to give it to her.
He can't do anything else. And there
you are!"
What If she refuses?" she said in
a low voice, and he saw she was
afraid Of this refusal which would
shatter her last hope.
Raise your OFFER" he answered
briskly. "She probably will refuse the
first time"
She pondered, eying the fire with
heavy immobility.
YES" she said, nodding. "It sounds
reasonable. It's about the only thing
left"
"If can be Of any assistance to
you," he said, you just cali on me.
I'm willing to help in this thing all l
can. 1t goes against me to see Dom
mick caught in trap this way just
at the beginning of his life"
"A boy" said his mother, that
would have made some good girl
SO happy"
Cannon rose from his chair.
That's just it," he said, "and
there are not so many of 'em round
that we can afford to lose one Of the
best. I've always liked Dominick and
getting to know him so well up at
Antelope l grew downright fond OF
him. He's a fine boy"
He smiled at her with his most gen.
ial air, beaming with disinterested af-
lection for Dominick and the desire
to be helpful in a grievous strait.
Mrs. Ryan looked brighter and more
hopeful than she had done at the
beginning Of the interview.

complaints. But as we get on, we
seem to take them harder. And you
know what my boy was to met"
about the same thing that my girl
is to me-" Cannon answered as he
turned away to look on the table for
his hat.
There was little more talk, and
then the set phrases Of farewell
brought the interview to a close.
Though momentous, it had not lasted
long. AS he left the room Cannon
heard the single note of half-past

and did think of It? That's all the
good 1t would do him. Men don't sue
women for divorce except under the
greatest provocation, and Dominick's
got no provocation at ALL My hopes
were that the woman herself would
sue-that we'd freeze her out with
small means and cold shoulders-and
you see that's just what she's deter
mined not to dol"
Cannon dropped his supporting hand
on the chair-arm and began to caress
gently large tassel that hung there.
"She could be approached in anoth-
er way" he said with a suggestion of
bordering elaboration.
What way?"
You say she married Dominick for
money. Have you never thought of
buying her OFF,"

sort of way, shyly into his.

He realized, and, though he was un-

Outside he stood for moment on
the top Of the marble steps, looking
downward with absent eyes. He was
completely engrossed with the just
ended conversation, parts of which
repeated themselves in his mind as he
stared unseeingly down the wide, un-
encountered vista Of the street.
Carriages flashed past through
strips of sunshine; automobiles
whirred by, leaving dust and gasoline
in their wake On the sidewalks there
were many foot passengers: lazily
sauntering couples, lovers, family par
ties, and little groups bound for the
cars which would whisk them over
the dunes to the park. AS he slowly
began to descend, one Of these groups,
formed of three women, a man, and a
child, approached the bottom of the
steps. They were walking down the
avenue in a close, talkative bunch. The
descending magnate was apprised OF
their proximity by the high, cackling
sound Of the women's voices and an
aura of perfume which extended from
them into the surrounding ether. He

ing indifferentIy over the faces turned
eagerly toward him.
They were not so unmoved. Their
chances were trained full on him, their
eyes wide in the unblinking intensity
of their scrutiny. Even the child, who
was skipping along beside the eldest
of the women, inspected him with sol
emn care Brushing by in their gay
Sunday raiment they drew together to
discuss him, their heads in a cluster
their voices lowered. He was so used
to being the object Of such interest
that he did not bother to look at them
and was therefore unaware that one OF

hair and dark eyes, had turned as she

here the night Of my ball to ask me
to give him an invitation for his wife!"
She stared at her visitor with her
face set in stony hardness, hard
ness reminiscent of that which had
marked 1t when Dominick had asked
for the invitation. Cannon saw it and
checked the remark that rose to his
lips. He was going to say: Why
didn't you give it to him?" and he
saw that it was too light a comment
for what had been a tragic occasion.
