CHAPTER XIV.
After You. Monsieur!

Jim had no desire to create sensa-
ton among his friends at the old red
house; but as he left the pine grove
all his instincts led him to fee in an
other direction. He did not fully
realize lust what had happened to
him. but he was conscious Of having
received a very hard jolt, indeed. The
house, full Of happy associations as 1t
was. was just now too tantalizing
place. Aleck had won out, and he and
Melanie were radiating that peculiar
kind Of lovers joy which shines on
the eve Of matrimony. Jim wished
them well-none better-but he also
wished they wouldn't make such a
fuss over these things. Get it done
and out of the way, and the less said
about it the better. In face, Jim's
buoyant and sunny spirit went into
eclipse; he lost his holiday ardor and
trudgcd over the hill and into the
shore road in a state of extreme de-
lection.
But he fingered on the way, divert
eG almost against MS will by the sight
OF fishing smacks putting into harbor,
an island steamer rounding distant
cliff. and the Sea Gull lying notion
less Just within the breakWater. Won
en- may be unkind, but a ship is a
ship, after ALL One can not nurse the
pain even of shattered heart when
running before a stiff wind with the
spinnaker set and an open sea ahead.
The thought decided him. The sea
should be his bride. Jim did not stop
to arrange. at the moment, just how
this should be brought about, but his
determination was none the less firm.
He became sentimental to the extent
OF rejecting, vaguely, that this was
but philosophic justice. The sea had
not conquered him-far from it;
neither should She conquer him. He
would follow the sea, the path of gia-
mour. the home of the winged foot
and the vanishing sail, the road to
alien and mysterious lands
Thus Jimmy In reaction from the
Arctic douche to which his emotional
self had been subjected. He was, fig
uratively speaking, blue with the cold.
but trying valiantly to warm himself.
AS he gazed at the Sea Gull, asleep
on the food tide, cutting a gallant fig
ure in the glowing sunset, he felt an
overmastering longing to be aboard.
He would stay on the yacht until
Chamberlain came, at least; possibly
al night.
Having made up his mind on this
point. James persuaded himself that
he felt better. Philosophy is friend

failure in getting ones desires crush
The spirit? He would make right

it. Hang the shoe business!

brush with a knife and a hoe. after
which he made his brooms. He made
the complete broom, including the
handles, and grew his own fax for the
Irvine, the whole costing him little.
Believing that his neighbors would re
fuse to buy the new kind of broom,
Dickinson in 1898 peddled his brooms
in williamsburg, Ashfield and Con
way. The next year he carried them
TO Pittsburg. The new broons took,
for as soon as housewives found how
much better they were over the old
husk or birch broom they would buy
no other. Other men went into the
business and a new industry was born
in Hadley. Dickinson lived until 1843,
long enough to see the Hadley or corn
broom in use all over the country,
and the same broom, with impr2ye'
ments, is still in USE"

EPiLoGUE.

No one ever knew whether the &C.
complished Frenchman reached shore,
ultimately, in the rowboat, or descend
ed to Sabrina beneath the waves. If
that last hasty exit from the deck of
the Sea Gull was also his final exit
from life, certain it is that his depar-
ture into the realm of shades was I'M
wept and unsung. The stick of 6yna-
mite was found, after gingerly
search, lying on one of the berths in
the large cabin, where it had been
dropped by the Frenchman in his
flight.
Jimmy Hambleton did not let the
shoe business entirely go to destruc-
ton, though his taste for holidays
grew markedly after he brought his
bride home with him TO Lynn. One
year, when the babies were growing
up, he ordered trim little yacht to be
built and put into her berth at
Charlesport. She was named the Sea
Gull. Jimmy's chauffeur, called Hand,
was her captain.
Sometimes, when James and Aga
tina were alone, in the zone of still
ness hung over the listening water,
there would rise song, clear and
birdlike:
Free of my pain, free of my burden
Of sorrow,
At last I shall see thee"
and again Jimmy's heart would rise
buoyant, free, happy-the heart of I'M
quenchable youth.
THE END.

No hay crop can be cut from alfalfa
the season sown except under the
most favorable conditions. The year
following seeding, however, three
good crops may be expected. The
first crop will be ready for cutting
early in June, trying time for cur
ing alfalfa.
Cut when the alfalfa is in advanced
bud and few plants in blossom, on a
day that promises fair. weather. Oc-
casionally the alfalfa will come into
bud and hesitate to blossom; sprouts
will then Immediately start at the
base. 1t should be cut when those
conditions prevail even though no
blossoms appear.
In the afternoon of the same day
of cutting, if weather has been favor
able, the alfalfa can be raked and put
into small cocks. The cocks should
not be left standing in the field more
than two or three days during wet
weather without moving, or the alfalfa
plants underneath the cocks will be
partially or completely smothered.
By running a pitchfork into a cock
of alfalfa near the bottom, one can
easily move the pile. If alfalfa is ex-
ceedingly green when cooked, or
rainy weather sets in, it will heat un-
less the cocks are opened every day
or two. In favorable weather no
more difficulty will be experienced in
curing alfalfa than in curing heavy

Levi Dickinson, Native of Connecticut,
Is the Man to Be Accorded
the Honor.

Although it is not generally
known" said manufacturer of
brooms. "the house broom, such as
the housewife uses, is comparatively
a recent invention, dating back to
1886. Before that time husk brooms
were used to sweep out the ovens and
splinter brooms, made of birch, we're
used for everyday use The present
broom industry might be said to have
had its beginning in Connecticut In
1886, when Levi Dickinson, native
of Weatherfeld, went to Hadley car
rying with him a new kind OF corn
seed which he showed his friends, say
ing that when full grown it would
make better brooms than ever had
been made. The Hadley women
laughed at him, but despite this, DICK
inson was not discouraged, but har-
vested his first crop of broom corn

over him was a face-the very vision
of his dream. Look at me, speak to

The voice was a bit hysterlcal, but
the face was eloquent, loving. adoring.
1t was too good to be true, though Jim
was disposed to let the illusion pro
long itself as far as possible. He put
Gp his hand and smoothed her face
gently, in gratitude at seeing 1t kind
once more. Then he smiled foolishly.
Its great, isn't it," he remarked
namely. before thinking it necessary
to remove his head. Her face was
still the face Of tenderness, full of
yearning. 1t did not change. She
took handkerchief from her pocket
and carefully pressed it to his cheek
and chin. When she took it away, he
saw that II was red.
Lord, what a mess I'm making!"
he exclaimed, trying at last to sit up.
AS he did SO, it all came back to him

struggle. He leaned over to peer again
through the crossed wires Of the deck
railing, down into the water. He
turned back with an amazed express

Neither Aleck nor Agatha could

had been searching the yacht.

spike had Disappeared The rowboat,
too, had gone into the darkness. Jim
got up, dazedly thinking for a mo-
ment that it was necessary for him
to give chase, but he quickly sat down
on the sail-cloth again, overcome with
faintness and dark pail before his
eyes.
"You are not hurt badly?" The
voice was still tender, and it was all
for him! AS jim heard it, the pail
lifted, and his buoyant spirit came
back to it's own. He laughed ring

For answer she pressed his hand

AIeck and Chamberlain, once as
sured that jim was safe, went below

cloth. AS they sat there, young
moon shone out delicately in the west,
and dropped quickly down after the
lost sun.

f'But we've watched the dawn"
"Ah, yes; and such a dawn!"
Little by little, as they sat togeth-

it was done, Agatha was still puzzled.

Of barnyard manure and our modern
machinery which renders this work
SO easy requires an abundance OF
power in the way of horse6esh. Gull
tivation, It is true, does not require
such extremely heavy horses as the
other work of the farm, yet animals
must be Of good weight and possess
abundant strength to handle riding
cultivator for ten hours steady work
in the field, particularly where the
work is well done.
Haying with 6-foot mowers, IL,
foot rakes and elevating hay leaders
requires horses Of more than usual
strength, and the modern self-binder
was never built for animals of light
weight.
In fact, throughout all the farm OPP
erations we find urgent need for
draft animals Of the best conforma.
ton and with weight exceeding 1000
pounds, even In working condition. In
many Of the farm operations animals
weighing in excess of 1900 pounds
can be more efficiently used than
those Of the lighter weight.

OUR FUTURE HORSE MARKET
Greatest Demand Will Be for Draft
Animals on Farm for Use In
Thorough Flowing.

I believe that the greatest market
for the draft horses Of the future will
be found on the farms, said Wayne
Dinsmore, before Ohio Percheron
Breeders association. AS the prices
of farm products continue to advance,
land values will inevitably advance
and we must so till the soil as to Sc
cure more abundant crops than be-
fore.
High production on our farms come
only with thorough filling of the soil.
Flowing must be thoroughly done and
every furrow turned to as great a
depth as the condition Of the soil and
the crop to be grown render advisa-
BILE. The plowed land must be disked
and this must be well and frequently
done. especially during the spring
months. when land not so handled
tends to lose large share Of its
stored up moisture.
The most fertile fields are those
which receive most liberal dressings
