generously.

who lost his hat?'

why, certainly" assented the
starter, promptly, but wonderingly.
Preciosa felt like guilty criminal.
Her tender soul deplored the innocent
mischief she had wrought. She was
strangely unlike herself all the ride
home with her brother. Within an
hour she had made a confidant Of her
best friend. Mary Bird, and before
two had passed by Mary's brother,
Will, was taken into conspiracy.
He was deputized to visit this Dale
Winters as the representative Of -four
giddy girls" who had destroyed his
hat, and replace it with the best fall
style money could supply.
More than that the clever young
man did. He learned that Dale Win
ters was a most estimable and eff
cient young man, temporarily out Of
work. How the artful Preciosa work
ed it she told nobody, but within a
week Dale was induced by young Bird
to apply for position with Huldane
& Co. and was readily engaged.
1t was lucky day for the big bond
firm. Six months later while the
head Of the house was absent, near
panic hit the money market. Forced
to act on his own initiative, Dale did
just the right thing, and saved the
house from ruin.
That made him solid" with Ran
som Huldane. In the meantime poor,
pitiful Preciosa found that in eXercis-
ing sympathy and interest In behalf
Of Dale, she had learned to love him.
So she came often to the Office, and
Dale called at the Huldane home oc.
casionally
1t was the I'd Of September a year
to the day, and Preciosa sat In the
Office ostensibly awaiting her broth
er's arrival when Dale entered.
Preciosa smiled as he took off his
hat-a straw hat! He read inquiry
in her eyes.
do not think that I am defying
usage and propriety, Miss Huldane,
he said laughingly. II am defying
the custom for this one day because
1t Is an anniversary"
"Of what, may l ask?" spoke Pre-
ciosa, half guessing.
"Of the day of my life when with
the loss of my hat there seemed to
follow nothing but good fortune-and
the greatest blessing Of 1t all has been
to know you."
| He read her full realization Of the
sentiment expressed Her eyes, quick.
| ly downcast, her Frightening color
gave his soul hope.
"You have something to tell me?''
she said falteringly.
"Of the love l bear you," he re-
piled clearly.
Then first let me tell you q story
and Preciosa did; of the straw hat,
and what it had led to, and she look
ed up penitent to find only the glory
of gratitude and love in his earnest
eyes.

The three high class stenographers
IN the office of Huldane C Co. were
grouped about a table where one of
their number was filling a paraftined
paper bag from water bottle.

Poultry a. Food.
Although not as many varieties of
poultry are in common use in the
United States as in Europe, and al
though eggs form perhaps the most
important part of the total poultry
industry in the United States, enough
birds are raised and sold for their
flesh to make poultry an important
Item in the list Of foods. says the de-
partnent of agriculture. Chickens
are, OF course, far the most common
Of the kinds of poultry. Next come
turkeys, then ducks and geese. fol-
lowed by capons and squa bs, the other
varieties, such as guinea fowl, pleas
ants and quail being least common of
all.
In raising birds for the market spe-
cial fattening has not heretofore been
practiced in this country with any
thing like the same frequency as In
Europe. but American breeders are
gradually coming to it more and more,
especially on the large poultry farms
which are springing up in many places.
The extreme methods used SO much
in France are not. however. consid
cred advantageous by most American
breeders.
Live poultry is very commonly mar
keted, especially in the southern
states, where 1t is the custom to kill
q short time before cooking, but, con-
sidering the country as a whole, 1t
is doubtless true that the dressed
birds are marketed more than the
live, and the buyer must depend
mainly on the appearance Of the skin
and flesh to tell him how fresh the
bird is, and whether 1t has been prop
erly dry-plucked or plunged into boil
ing water to make the plucking cas-
Ter. In most cases, also, the age must
be determined by the pliability Of the
breastbone or, In duck and goose, of
the windpipe.
The methods of cooking poultry are
in general the same as those for other
kinds Of meat. The tougher the bird
the more cooking will be needed to
make it tender and easily digested.
and the larger 1t is the more heat will
be required to cook 1t thoroughly.
As regards composition poultry does
not differ as much as is commonly
supposed from meat OF other domestic
animals used for food. Individual
kinds and specimens. of course. vary
in the relative amounts of protein and
fat contained, and there are certain
flavors in poultry which differ from
those In other meats. But these diff
ferences are so small that they are
practically negligible in ordinary diet.
Nor is there as much difference in
digestibility as Is often stated. On
the average, poultry is somewhat more

in digestibility between the various
kinds of poultry probably depends on

farmers sell their tops at a cash price
ranging from $3.50 to IS per acre, in
which case the grower Is the loser
for the reason that the tops are of
greater value to him as a stock food,
and If he allows the tops to leave his
farm he loses their m anurial value,
consisting of q large part of mineral
plant food taken up by beets in the
process of growth, and also their
humus value, which results from re-
turning the tops to the soil in the
form of stable or barnyard manure.
The most economical way to handle
the tops is to gather them into piles
soon after they wilt and before
they become thoroughly dry. In this
condition they can be gathered with
much less loss than would be the case
If they were left scattered over the
ground until dried. After they have
cured in the piles they should be
hauled to the feed yard, where they
should be fed in properly constructed
racks to avoid waste.
