TELLING THE SEX OF GEESE
Not Easy Matter to Make Distinction
in Toulouse Variety as Birds
Are All o. Same Color.

1t is not AN easy thing to distin-
guish the sex Of geese, especially OF
the Toulouse variety. Both sexes are
the same in color, but in this variety
the male or gander is somewhat
larger, has larger head. longer neck,
and carries himself more erect.
The voice of the female is coarser
than that of the male, point that
is relied upon quite generally by ex-
perienced growers of these fowls.
Gilbert says there is an embarrass-
ing likeness between the gander and
the goose, and out Of the breeding

FELT SHE HAD BEEN FAMILIAR
Horrible Discovery by Mrs. Flint Had
Considerably Disturbed Her
Composure.

Ellen Terry, the famous English
actress, tells this story:
Mrs. Flint came home from call
one day in such a disturbed condition
that it was evident that tears were
not far in the background. Her hus'
band gazed at her inquiringly for a
moment but she made haste to ex
plain before he could advance any
questions.

Sara laughed shortly. isn't the IN

pallid lips. Her eyes were dark with
pain and misery. You think l am al

sisted the other, her eyes hard as
steel. "It doesn't matter whether he
was married-or free. You went"
Hetty threw herself upon her COM
panion's breast and wound her strong
arms about her.
Sara, Sara, you must let me ex-
plain-you must let me tell you every
thing. Don't stop me! You have re-
fused to hear my plea"
"And l still refuse;" cried Sara,
throwing her off angrily. Good God,
do you think l will listen to you? Il
you utter another word, will
strangle you!"
Hetty shrank back, terrified. Slowly
she moved backward in the direction
Of the door, never taking her eyes
from the impassioned face Of her pro-
tector.
Don't, Sara, please don't!" she
begged. Don't look at me like that!
l promise-I promise. Forgive me! l
would not give you an instant's pain
for all the world. You would suffer,
you would"
Sara suddenly put her hands over
her eyes. A single moan escaped her
lips-a hoarse gasp Of pain.
"Dearest!" cried Hetty, springing to
her side.
Sara threw her head up and met her
with a cold, repelling look.
"Wait!" she commanded. "The time
has come when you should know what
is in my mind, and has been for
months. 1t concerns you. l expect
you to marry Leslie Wrandall."
Hetty stopped short.
How can you jest with me, Sara?'
she cried, suddenly indignant.
'I am not jesting," said Sara lev
ely.
"You-you-really mean-what yo'l
have just said?" The puzzled look
gave way to one of revulsion. A great
shudder swept over her.
Leslie Wrandall must pay his
brothers debt to you"

lips. "Yoa-you must be going mad

Sara laughed softly. 81 have meant
it almost from the beginning" she
said. "It came to my mind the day
that Challis was buried. 1t has never
been out of it for an instant since that
day. Now you understand"
If she expected Hetty to fall into
a fit Of weeping, to collapse, to plead
with her for mercy, she was soon to
find herself mistaken. The girl
Strengthened up suddenly and met her
gaze with one in which there was the
fierce determination. Her eyes were
steady, her bosom heaved.
"And ] have loved you so devotedly
so blindly," she said, in low tones
of scorn. "You have been hating me
ali these months while thought you
were loving me. What fool l have

Sara had kept the three Wrandalls
over for luncheon.
"My DEAR" said Mrs. Redmond
Wrandall, as she stood before Hetty's
portrait at the end Of the long living
room, 81 must say that Brandon has
succeeded in catching that lovely little
something that makes her so-what

what I want? The word u as elusive

Leslie, tall, slim and ar1stocratic, her
hands behind her back, her manner
one Of absolute indifference. Vivian
was more than handsome; she was
striking.
There isn't anything subtle about
Hetty," said Sara, with laugh. She's
quite ingenious.
Leslie was pulling at his mustache,
and frowning slightly. The sunburn
on his nose and forehead had begun
to peel off in chappy little flakes.
Ripping likeness, though" was his
comment.
ooh, perfect" said his mother.
Really wonderful. It will make Bran
don famous"
"She's so healthy-looking," said
Vivian.

that covered everything.

FARMERS TO Be PROSPEROUS

There has been little damage to
growing crops in Wisconsin by the re-
cent heavy rains, according to the July
crop report made public today by j..
G. Mackenzie, secretary of the state
board of agriculture. The damage to
wheat for the whole state was g of
one per cent, rye one per cent, barley
one per cent, oats IL per cent, and
tame hay IL per cent.
Estimates of crop conditions as
of July l are as follows" say the
report:
"Winter wheat: North division, 95.7
per cent; central division, 94.6 per
cent; southern division, 97.4 per cent,
the general average condition reported
$50 per cent, as compared with 95.4,
the general average condition reported
June l. Slight changes are shown in
the condition of spring wheat and win
ter rye. The condition of spring wheat
in the southern division is $50 per
cent; central division, 94.3 per cent;
southern division 96.1 per cent; the
average condition for the whole state
being 95.3 per cent, as compared with
966 per cent on June j. The condition
of winter rye in the northern division
is 96.9 per cent; central division 95.4
per cent; southern division 800 per
cent, the average condition for the
state being $50 per cent, as compared
with 96.8 per cent on June l.
"The average condition of spring
rye in the northern division is 96.6 per
cent; central division is 92.3 per cent;
southern division 97.1 per cent, the
average condition for the state being
95.3 per cent, or the same general CON
dition as is shown in our report Of
July l.
Tobacco conditions in the northern
division are $50 per cent; central 93.1
per cent; southern division 97.9 per
cent, the general average for the state
being 94.9 per cent. The chief tobacco
producing centers of the state, how
ever, show much better than the
general average.
