A man emerged from behind a spur
or ellis and sudden rush of color
suffused her cheeks. The man saw
her at the same time and came TO-
ward her at an increased pace. He
was a tall, strongly built man nf
about swehty- one, clad IN rough
fisherman's attire, and darkly Curled
hair showed beneath his SOU
wester.
Great guns! What are you doing
abroad a morning like this, Meggie?"
I'm just on my way to Flamstead
to make few purchases, Jack" she
said. Are you putting out TO sea
today" There was an anxious note
in the inquiry, as she glanced un-
easily toward the horizon, which WAS
enshrouded in a threatening murk-
ness.
Her glance seemed to bring some
thing to his recollection, for his
bright eyes suddenly darkened, ami
he laid a hand upon the rough sur
face Of his jersey. The next moment
he had taken the girls arm in
close grip.
Did you receive a letter this
morning, Meggie?" he asked abruptly.
A tell-tale flush Of confusion dyed
Meggie's cheeks, and her eyes fell
beneath his questioning gaze.

closed the door after the porters who
had brought up the baggage.
Even before she took OF her hat she
made an eager. interested inspection Of
every detail OF the rooms. They were
Iuxuriously and perfectly appointed.
Everything was in exquisite taste.
II would be over three hours yet be-
fore she could expect Warren. But
she had no desire TO go out in the blaz-
ing, midafternoon sun. for the heat was
sitting She would spend the time in

and in going over her clothes. which
after the week on board ship needed
attention.
II was a real joy to shake out her
gowns and hang them in the spacious
closets. and TO arrange har clothes in
the white papcred drawers Of the chif-
foneir and dresser. The rooms were so
beautiful that there was a sense Of
luxury in just moving about and get

Mrs. Martin paused in the knead-
ing Of the large batch OF dough and
glanced toward the tiny sitting room
A pretty girl of about eighteen
emerged in response to the call.
Meggie glanced at the grabbed
handwriting on the letter, and a gasp
Of surprise escaped her lips.
Who is it from, Meggie? Is any
thing wrong?"
The girl burst into a food of hot
furious tears, and flung the letter
scornfully upon the table

Meggie fed upstairs TO her own
little room. Mrs. Martin picked up
the letter and read It slowly. A look
Of contempt flashed in her honest
gray eyes.
The letter, which was couched in
terms of lofty condensation, mingled
with biting satire, conveyed the I'M
mistakable message that the silly at
tachment existing 'twixt Meggie and
Jack was viewed with disapproval,
and advised the girl to look else

Jack to financial beggary.
In few minutes Meggie, her eyes

Household Suggestions

Weak eyes that ache when exposed
to the glare of the sun, especially on
the sea, should be treated with cold
water congresses. These are folded
on the closed lids, and ease the ach-
ing at once.
If troubled with ants indoors spread
a piece of brown paper with MARINA
lade rather thickly, then place it
where they are most troublesome. 1t
will soon be covered with them.
When boiling potatoes put a tea
spoonful of sugar as well as salt in
the water. This does not give a
sweet taste, but makes them dry and
flOury.

LIGHT BREAKS IN
Thoughtful Farmer Learns About
Coffee.

Many people exist in a more or less
hazy condition and it often takes years
before they realize that tea and cof-
fee are often the cause of the cloudi-
ness, and that there is a simple way
to let the light break in.
A worthy farmer had such an exper-
fence and tells about it, in letter. He
says:
For about forty years, l have had
indigestion and stomach trouble in
various forms. During the last 25
years would not more than get over
one spell of bilious collie until another
would be upon me.

Name given by Postum Co. Battle
Creek, Mich. Write for copy of the lit
tie book, "The Road to Wellville."
Postum comes in two forms:
Regular Postum-must be well boiled.
Instant Postum is a soluble powder.
A teaspoonful dissolves quickly in a
cup Of hot water and, with the addi-
ton of cream and sugar, makes de-
licious beverage instantly.

The quality Of Western Canada
wheat is recognized everywhere.
The latest census returns show that
in the Province of Manitoba, which
stands out as one of great wealth and
wonderful opportunity, the land area
under wheat increased from 1,965,200
acres in 1900 to 2,76O,471 acres in 1910,
being an increase of 40.46 per cent in
the decade. The wheat area OF 1911
is greater than that of 1910 by 334, 46I

OF cereals grown in 1910 the largest

beans with 1857, fall wheat with
$15.67, corn for husking with $12. s3.
flax $11.15, buckwheat $11.06, spring

expected that when the money bags
were frightened that this would be the
case. The fact is that money could
not keep pace with the development
natural to demands of 100000 new peo-
pie year Towns and cities had to
be built to take care of the country
and capital had not made sufficient
preparation.
But the crop of 1913 will restore
conditions to a normal state, and the
natural and reasonable development
will continue.
Owing to a wet fall in 1912, and a
heavy snowfall during the past winter
there was large area which it was
difficult to seed at the usual time the
past spring. Therefore as a general
thing seeding was later than usual. A
trip through the country in the early
part of August showed that this was
no drawback. Wheat that had been
seeded in May was already ripening,
and had stand fully as good as any
country had ever produced; the heads

Rains in all parts OF the country came
at the right time and the best of

The hay crop was excellent. Al
falfa, clover and timothy grasses were
good, and many farmers are now cul-
tivating these splendid folders.

was $1,024.71 in 1910, as against
$51S.03 in 1900, being an increase of
1918 per cent. in the decade.
Coming back to the crops of 1913, It
may safely be said that the yield of
wheat in Saskatchewan will be about
115,000,000 bushels, with an average
yield of over 90 bushels per acre
Oats, which are but a fair crop, will
yield an average equal to that of last
year. Barley is excellent, while fax.
of which the average is considerably
less than last year, will produce
grt ater average than for years. What
is said of these crops will apply TO all
districts

Unless some dire calamity occurs
in the next few days farmers of the
