in the grain all sprouting we'll, and
as a result the fields resemble great

the yields were remarkable, timothy
and clover has outdone itself, pota-

ton of corn the acreage is large and
the stands are Of the best, assuring
an abundant yield. Then there Ia the
daiirying and stock raising to consid-

either of grades or thoroughbreds,
ranging from 80 to 100 head, netting
them great profits from butter fat.
This is a section Of Minnesota that
has adopted crop rotation and diversi-
fed farming and as a result, there
is more widespread prosperity among
the .agriculturists Of this section than
in many others covering the Red Riv-

CHAPTER !.
The Message of the Rose.

Tapped deep in the leather-bound
luxury of an ample lounge-chair
walled apart from the world by the
venerable solitude of the library OF
London's most exclusive club, Mr..
Alan Law sprawled largely on the
nape of his neck) and, squirting dis
contentedly down his nose, admitted
that he was exhaustivelS bored
Now the chair filled so gracelessly
stood by an open window, some TWEEN
Sty feet below which lay a stable
walled garden, an old English garden
In full tawer. And through the win
dow, now IA then, a half-hearted
breeze waited gusts of warm air,
sauve and enervating with the heavy
fragrance of English roses.
Mr.. Law drank deep of it, and in
spite of his spiritual unrest, sighed
slightly and shut his eyes.
An unspoken word troubled the
depth of his consciousness, so that
old memories stirred and struggled to
Its surface. The word was Rose"
and for the time seemed to be the
flower, but oddly Of both, as though
the two things were one. His mental
vision, bridging the gap of year. con-
1ured up the vision of a 1.-THE, sweet
{ silhouette in white, with red roses
at her belt. posed on a terrace of the
Riviera against the burning Mediter-
ranean blue.
Mr.. Law was duly conscious that
he ought to be sorry about something,
But he was really very drowsy indeed;
and so, drinking deep of wine-scent
OF roses, be FIJI gently asleep.
The clock was striking four when
he awoke; and before closing his
eyes he had Noticed that its hands
Indicated ter minutes to four. So he
gould not have slept very long.
For some few seconds Alan did not
move, cut rested as he was, incredu.
lousy regarding a rose which had ma.
terialized mysteriously upon the little
table at his elbow. He was quite sure
II had not been there when he closed
his eyes, and almost as sure that It
was not real.
And in that instant of awakening
the magic fragrance of the rose-garden
seemed to be even more strong and
cloyfng sweet than ever.
Then he put out gingerly hand
and discovered that it was real beyond
all question. A warm red rose, fresh
plucked, drops of water trembling and
sparkling like tiny diamonds on the
velvet OF its fleshy petals. And when
ifnpulsiveiy he took 1t by the stem, he
discovered most indisputable thorn
which did service for the traditional
pinch.
\ Convinced that he wasn't dreaming.
Ian transferred the rose to his sound
land, and meditatively sucked his
