county, yet lives so simply, so fru-

HOLD RECORD FOR, FASTING
Two Eccentric EnaIishmen Who Prac-
ticed SeIf-DenlaI Through Many
Years of Their Lives.

The most persistent faster of all
time was probably Roger Crabb, who
lived in the time Of the common
wealth.
In order to carry out his ideas most
effectually he sold off his stock In
trade, distributed the proceeds among
the poor and took up his residence in
a hut near Ickenham, where he lived
on three farthings week.
Instead of strong drinks and
Wines" says the eccentric Roger. Il
give the old man cup of water and
instead of roast mutton and rabbit |
give him broth thickened with bran
and pudding made with bran and
turnip leaves chopped together"
Vigorous health was the result. says
the London Chronicle. but his Austen
ton from food was regarded with
such suspicion that on one occasion
he narrowly escaped being burned
alive as wizard.
Another famous hermit who man
aged to reduce diet to very simple
proportions was James Lucas. with

A slight color stole to Abbott's face.
In fact, he was rather hard hit. This
wandering child was no doubt witch.
He looked in the direction of the tent,
as If to escape the weaving of her

CROP CONDITIONS IN
WESTERN CANADA
ARE THE MOST PROMISING FOR
MANY YEARS.

The deepest interest is attached to
the condition of the grain crops In
Western Canada. especially among
the thousands in the United States
who are financially interested In lands
in that country. This interest is fully
as great among those who have
friends there following farming and
she growing of grain.
The reports from Canadian govern
nent officials convey the information
that the area under crop this year IN
the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan and Alberta will probably be no
greater than that of last year Last
fall the weather was such that there
was not as much fall blowing as had
been hoped for. The getting READY OF
land this spring made considerable
portion of the grain late in seeding.
Notwithstanding this, wheat, oats,
barley and fax were got in IL good
shape, although from week TO ten
days later than last year On the
9th Of June the reports regarding
crop conditions generally In western
Canada were: Abundant sunshine
with timely and copious rain through
out Western Canada gives every as
surance of generous harvest. Cllmatlc
conditions in recent weeks have Deen
absolutely ideal Western correspon-
dents agree in predicting every indl
cation of a bumper crop under favor
able conditions. Wheat should be
headed out in Manitoba between July
10th and 18th, and in Saskatchewan
and Alberta from 18th to 18th. The
oat crop is looking well, although late
and rather short in straw
This is followed by a report July
5th Crop conditions continue in
same satisfactory condition as last
week. Plenteous rains have fallen all
over prairie provinces, followed by
general warm and splendid growing
weather. Experts agree sufficient
moisture for many weeks, while crop
is ten to fifteen days late, prospects
are extremely favorable and condi-
tional upon reasonable weather for
next four weeks. Splendid western
crop is assured"
There is, therefore, the best reason
to anticipate most magnificent crops
throughout Western Canada In 1913

Guiding the most ambitious superin-

Nonpareil; a brotherhood to be con-
firmed by the clasping of sincere
hands. There was danger in such a
confirmation, for 1t carried Abbott be-
yond the limits that mark superin-
tendent's confines.
AS he stood on the bridge, holding
F'ran's hand In a warm and sympa-
thetic pressure, he was not unlike one
on picket-service whos slips over the
trenches to hold friendly parley with
the enemy. Abbott did not know there
was any danger in this brotherly
handclasp, but that was because he
could not see fieshy and elderly lady
slowly coming down the hill. AS SUI
perintendent, he should doubtless have
considered his responsibilities to the
public; he did consider them when the
lady, GREATNESS and severe, ap-
preached the bridge, while every
pound of her ample form cast its
weight upon the seal of her disapprov-
ing, low-voiced and significant, Good
evening, Professor Ashton"
Fran whistled.
The lady heard, but she swept on
without once glancing back. There
was in her none OF that saline ten
dency that made of Lot a widower;
the lady desired to see no more.
Fran opened her eyes at Abbott to

The young man did not betray un-
easiness, though he was really
alarmed, for his knowledge of the
fieshy lady enabled him to foresee
gathering clouds more sinister than
those overhead. The obvious thing
to be done was to release the slender
hand; he did so rather hastily.

CHAPTER ~.

Tho Woman Who Was Not Mrs. Greg
ory.
Hardly had Abbott Ashton d1sap-
peared down the village vista of moon
light and shadow-patches, before
Fran's mood changed. Instead OF
seeking to carry out her threat OF
boarding the lion in the den, she sank
down on the porch-steps, gathered her
knees in her arms, and stared straight
before her
Though OF skillful resources, OF I'M
pregnable resolution, Fran could be
respondent to the bluest degree; and
though competent at the clash, she
often found herself purpling on the
eve of the crisis The moment had
come to test her fighting qualities, yet
she dropped despondently.
Hamilton Gregory was coming
through the gate. AS he halted in sur
prise, a black shadow rose slowly.
YEARLY. He, little dreaming that he
was confronted by shadow from the
past. saw in her only the girl who
had been publicly expelled from the
tent.
The choir-leader had expected his
Homecoming to be crowned by a
vision very different. He came up
the walk slowly, not knowing What to
say. She waited outwardly calm, in
wardly gathering power. White-hot
action from Fran, when the iron was
to be welded. Out of the deepening
shadows her will leaped keen as q
blade.
She addressed him, Good evening.
Mr. Gregory"
He halted. When he spoke, his tone
expressed not only a general disap-
prevail OF all girls who wander away
from their homes in the night, but an
especial repugnance to one who could
laugh during religious services. DO
you want to speak to me, child3"
Yes The word was almost a
whisper The sound of his voice had
weakened her.
What do you want?" He stepped
up on the porch. The moon had van
ished behind the rising masses OF
storm-clouds, not to appear again, but
the light through the glass door re-
vealed his poetic features. Flashes of
lightning as yet faint but rapid In re-
currence, showed his beauty as that
of a young man. Fran remained 81
lent, moved more than she could have
thought possible. He stared intently,
but under that preposterous hat she
was practically Invisible, save IS a
black shadow. He added again, with
growing impatierce, What do yos
want?"
His unfriendliness gave her the spur
she needed. Il want a home she
said decidedly.
Hamilton Gregory was seriously dis.
turbed. However evil-disposed, Che
waif should not be left to wander ATM
lessly about the streets. OF The three
hotels in Littleburg, the cheapest was
not overly particular. He would take
her there do you mean to tell me, -
he temporized, that you are abso-
lutely alone?"
Fran's tone was little hard, not
because she felt bitter, but lest she
betray too great feeling, Absolutely

Geoffery OHara, recently appointed
by the Interior Department at Wash
ington to record the travel songs and
music of all American Indians, be-
gan his work in New York City last
week by taking his first photographic
records of the songs of the Blackfeet
Indians from Glacier National Park,
Montana. Secretary of the Interior
Lane took advantage of the presence
of the Blackfeet Indians in New York,
where they came to attend the Travel
and Vacation show as guests of Louis
W. Hill, chairman of the Board of
Directors of Great Northern Railway.
He sent Mr.. O'Hara on to New York,
from Washington, to begin his labori-
GUS task with these Indians. During
the stay Of the red men in New York,
Mr.. O'Hara had them sing into
monographs and the records will be
sent on to Washington to be put in
the government archives, therefore
preserving for all time the music Of
the original Americans, who are rap
idly passing to the Happy Hunting
Ground.
The accompanying picture shows
the Indians singing to the monographs
under the direction Of Mr.. O'Hara.
