canada's Influence on Crockett.

The late S. R. Crockett had strug-
giles in his early life as many other
poets and authors did. He began to
work on the farm at an early age, as
even a child's hands were useful to
the struggling household. He was
up at five o'clock, and all through his
life he continued to rise at this hou,,
for early rising was a habit With
pleasant memories.
One of his cousins was farmer
plowman who had been to Canada and
acquired larger ideas than the rest
of the family, and, finding In the boy
an unusual play Of mind, he used to
take him In the fields before the days
labors began. and make him read fine
poetry.

GOOD CHANGE.
Coffee to Postum.

The large army of persons who
have found relief from many chronic
ailments by changing from coffee to
Postum as a daily beverage, is grow
ing each day.
It is only simple question Of try
ing II for oneself In order to know
the Joy of returning health as realized
by an Ills. young lady. She writes:
II had been coffee drinker nearly
all my life and it affected my stomach
caused insomnia and I was seldom
without headache. I had heard
about Postum and how beneficial 1t
was, 30 concluded to quit coffee and
try 1t.
81 was delighted with the change.
I can now sleep well and seldom ever
have headache. Ny stomach has got
ten strong and can eat without suf-
fering afterwards. I think my whole
system greatly benefited by Postum.
MY brother also suffered from
stomach trouble while he drank cof-
fee, but now, since using Postum, he
feels so much better he would not go

CHAPTER XVIII.
The Awakening,

The sun had passed the meridian
ns1t day when Valiant awoke, from a
sleep as deep as Aoou ben Adhem's.
yet one crowded with flying tiptoe
dreams. The one great fact of Shir-
ley's love had lain at the core of ali
these honied images, and his mind
was full of it as his eyes opened, wide
all at once, to the new day.
He looked at his watch and rolled
from the bed with a laugh. Past
twelve!" he exclaimed. Good heaY-
ems! What about all the work had
laid out for today?"
Presently he was splashing in the
lake, shooting under his curved hand
unerring jets of water at Chum, who
danced about the rim barking, now
venturing TO wet a valorous paw, now
scrambling up the bank to escape the
watery javelins.
Valiant came up the terraces with
his blood bounding to a new rapture.
Crossing the garden, he ran quickly
to the little close which held the sun
dial and pulled a single great passion
flower He stood a moment holding
it to his face, his nostrils catching its
faint elusive perfume. Only last night,
under the moon, he had stood there
with Shirley in his arms. A gush of
the unbelievable sweetness Of that mo-
ment poured over him. His face
softened.
Standing with his sandaled feet
deep in the white blossoms, the sun
on his damp hair and the loose robe
cIinging to his moist limbs, he gave
himself to a sudden day-dream. A
wonderful waking dream of joy over
flooding years of ambitionless ease:
of the Damory Court that should be
in days to come.
When he came from the little close
there was 9 new mystery in the sun
shine, fresh and joyous meaning in
the intense blue overarching Of the
imponderable sky. Every bird-note
held it's own love-secret. A wood
thrush sang it from a silver birch be-
side the summer-house, and bob
white whistled it in the little valley
beyond. Even the long trip-hammer
of a far-away woodpecker beat ra-
diant tattoo.
He paused to greet the flaming pea
cock that sent out a curdling screech,
in which the tentative potterack! pot
terack! of a guinea-fowl tangled itself
softly. go on" he invited. Explode
all you want to, old Fire-Cracker.
Hang your purple-and-gold pessimism!
You only make the birds sound
sweeter. Perhaps that's what you're
for-Who knows?"
He tried to work. but work was not
for that marvellous afternoon He
wandered about the gardens, planning
this or that addition: a little longer
sweep to the pansy-bed-a clump of
bull-rushes at the farther end of the
lake. He peered into the stable: a
saddle horse stood there now, but
there should be more steeds stamping
in those stalls one day, good horse
flesh bought with sound walnut tim
Der from the hillside. How he and
Shirley would go galloping over those
cleaning roads, in that roseate future
when she belonged to him!
Uncle Jefferson, from the door of
the kitchens, watched him swinging
about in the sunshine. whistling the
Indian Serenade."

from his trousers pocket a huge roll
Of bills and throwing it at the clerk
told him to keep that wad of stuff in
safe place until morning.
Disgustedly the heelers watched the
safe door close on the young fortune
that had escaped them, while the boss
sank into a chair.
''Oh. you thief" angrily shouted one
of the heelers. as he shook his fist
under the nose of the boss That's

cold. Something fell from them to the

Through her chiffon veil Katharine

Gus results obtained in this work
show that most plants, either grain
or flower, are remarkably stimulated
and give better yield both In size
and quality. this being often seen in
the fine and healthy color OF the green
plants or leaves. The same plants are
in better condition to resist attacks
from various sources of disease, es-
pecially diseases known as cryptogam-
