PROLOGUE.

Lovers of Romance. attention !
Here's a story you will like. 1T
tells o f mystery under the dreamy
moon of the Pacific islands and
Of love in the shady lanes of New
Enelond-and what more can a
story reader wanf2 The mystery
of course, is introduced early in
the tale, and the love- follows
close after. Together they 60
hand in hand through the pages
of the story, never parting COM
pany until the final chapter.
There the mystery departs, but
the love remains.
You know, of course, about the
author, Lloyd Osbourne. He
learned how to write in a worthy
school, for he is a stepson OF
Robert Louis Stevenson. And no
greater story teller than the latter
ever lived.

"Quite so," assented Matt. hoping
that Mr.. Snood would soon come to the

ring again with evident admiration.

Why should it not be part of the re-
gular business of every creamery dairy
man to raise good, well bred beifers for
sale Just as the corn belt farmer raises
steers. The demand for cows is just as
great rs for steers aud heifer can be
raised to two years Of age for halt of the
expense that a marketable steer costs.
The fact Is, but few dairy farmers have
given the question the thought 1t de-
serves. To be able TO turn Oh nice
bunch of heifers each year adds . good
hit TO the revenue of .he farm.
