CHAPTER XII.
The For!orn Hope.

For minute or so after her father
had left her, Grace Robertson busted
herself in laying away her hat and
ftrs and in putting stray feminine
touch here and there to various details
of the rooms disarranged appoint
ments.
But another woman could have
seen how very mechanical all Grace's
movements were. At every step in the
hall outside the suite, she paused and
seemed to brace herself as for some
ordeal When at last the electric buzz
ger announced a caller, she moved
with perfect calmness to the door, as
though to admit a stranger. But at
sight of the figure on the threshold
of the opened door, her hard-won COM
posture changed to a frigid stiffness.
For the visitor was not Standish.
1t was Wanda Kelly

hind her as she spoke.
A cold inclination of the head gave
the desired permission. Wanda en-

ask? Is your business with me SC

"Yes. SO private that don't know

She paused. Grace would give heI

younger woman with the air of one
who cooily waits for dead-beat tt

point.

PEAT MARSHES VALUABLE
Conservation Commission Reports
100000 Acres of Fuel Product
Are Available in Wisconsin.

Madison-Wiscons will soon find
it's areas of peat marshes an import
ant source of fuel, is the predic-
ton made in the report Of the state
conservation commission sent to the
legislature. Estimates in the report
indicate that these marshes may in
the next half century yield a cash re-
turn from $500 to $4,000 an acre
According TO the report of the con-
seryation com mission about per
cent OF the total area of the state,
comprising nearly 100000 acres
is marshy The investigation shows
that this land may be used for three
purposes. II can be drained and used
Iof the purposes of agriculture, or
it can be held until such time as
economic conditions will permit the
marketing of 1880, 100000 tons of
hnlShed peat, or the land may be sub
merged and used as reservoirs for the
regulation Of stream flow
If the peat in the marshes is to
De used for fuel, the commission has
ascertained that an acre of peat one
root thick Will produce 200 tons OF
peat fuel. The compilations made
by the commission Indicate that with
in few years this peat will be sold
at profit Of from so cents to 81
ton. In elaborate tables it is fig
ured that, allowing an interest
charge of per cent and holding the
peat, the present value of an acre
of peat two feet thick would be $276.
The commission recommends that
the legislature change the present
drainage laws so as to reduce the
unnecessarily great expense now at
tendant upon the organization OF
drainage districts, that the legisla-
ture amend the constitution so that
1.-The state retain the large marshes
it already owns, which contain clean

poses -

egg, gives half to the caller, and eats with him
the other part. The custom has such hold on
the people that the mobiles, when living far
away from the fatherland, observe it. Many
years ago Prince Czartoryski in residence in
Paris, when he held the usual reception on Easter
Monday, receiving each guest at the door of his
salon, and dividing the egg In traditional style
with each visitor who ate it conscientiously.
In America, with it's population drawn from all
sections of the globe many Easter observances
distinctive of the various countries have been re-
tanned by the immigrants and their descendants.
So decidedly has Easter Sunday come to be
thought of in the United States as the great show
day of the year that the average person no longer
regards it in its most inspiring light-the crown
ing feast day of the Christian year. Yet its re-
lgious significance still lives and while the siren
uous money seekers of the present day seem to
have lost sight of any it's worldly interest
the spirit of worship is by means thing Of
the past and nowhere is 1t more actively alive
than in the up-todate church of a great city.
Music is the chief feature of the usual service
and no pains money is spared to make it

themselves in squads the hillocks. No time

the entire $450,000 appropriation for
