THAT STOLEN KISS
By AUGUSTUS G. sHERWIN.

Decision affirmed"
Vera Dennison stood looking down
at telegram bearing these words, a
date and a signature. The same told
her that the brief message came from
the city where the state supreme
court met, that legal friend of her
father had sent it and that it was a
crushing blow to the hopes, prospects
and ambition OF that dear father, who
had fought so hard.
1T means-ruin," she said sadly
poor father!"
Poor father, indeed! She had mar
veled when a few minutes since he
had left the house abruptly without
kissing her good-by, as was usual
with him. Now she comprehended
that a terrible blow had blighted all
his hopes, and the quick tears came to
her eyes as she realized that he had
received a death blow to his fondest
ambitions.
Judge Dennison had never been a
wealthy man. Since the death of Mel
lies mother they had lived in a quiet,
humble way. The little home, how
ever, was all they possessed. The
practice of the Judge was small and
irregular. For two years they had
lived in great hopes of receiving a
large amount of money. With the
death Of Mrs. Dennison there had
come complicated litigation over a
will made by the uncle of Veras moth
err In case the claims of Mrs. Den
1ison were proven, Vera as her heir
sss would receive a legacy that would
provide for both herself and her
,ather for life
The judge studied up the case criti-
ALLY. He decided that he could con-
test the will and gain his contention.
he put time and money into the suit.
lie was sure Of success, but his ardu-
aus labors Frustrated him on a bed Of
sickness the day the case was called.
Another lawyer, unfamiliar with the
ietails of the case, was called in and
he suit was decided against them.
After that the judge was not as he
lad been before. His great disap.
,ointment had unnerved and discour-
aged him. He at once set at work to
appeal the case. His spirits had
risen somewhat as the time approach
ed when decision was expected.
And now the end had come-"deci-
ZION of the lower court affirmed
Vera went out to the vine shaded
porch and sat down on rustic
bench, trying to be calm and patient,
counting the seconds until her father
returned. 1t must have been an hour
ater when his heavy, spiritless step
sounded on the graveled walk. Her

become visibly older within the hour.
Dear father" she spoke, springing
iown the steps and fondly linking her
arm within his own. "You have been

For the last time, DEAR" was the
gentle but hopeless reply.
"Oh, papa! What do you mean?"

an Office" was the reply. Il have
given it up. / have ordered my law
library sent here. What little bust
ness 1 shall have can be done quite
we'll from the house.
Vera said nothing. She understood
.ully that her father had sunk utterly
beneath the cruel crushing blow of the
lay. She led him into the cool, pleas
ant parlor and urged him to a rest in
his favorite arm chair.
Vera regarded him anxiously. She
realized that in his present despond-
snt condition the worst thing he
could do was to retire from active
business. His mind, unemployed,
would prey on itself
rs there no way that you can re-
tain your Office, father?' she in
Juired. Surely you can build up a
new legal practice"
my child, am too old, worn out, -
declared the Judge YEARLY.
Perhaps, then, a rest will do you
good" murmured Vera soothingly-
DO not worry, father. We have the
little home here and we shall get
along some way. I can get a few
more art students, and that will
help"
When the things from the Office ar
rive we will have to clean out the H.
brary and put them there" said the
Judge. Il can't understand why that
decision was not reversed" he went
on. There were some points my rep
resentative did not bring up. That is
not his fault, however. You know

HauIinn Manure Often.

The practice of allowing manure to
accumulate in the barnyard cannot be
too severely condemned. Manure is a
favorite breeding place for flies, and
the importance Of the prompt and
proper disposal of manure in summer
time should be strongly emphasized.
The ideal way to dispose Of stable
manure is to haul it, at least once q
week, directly to the fields. In this
way the maximum amount of fertiliz-
ing value viii be obtained from the
manure and at the same time Che fly

Wages of farm labor tended upward
during the decade of the seventies;
they were almost stationary during
the eighties, and declined from 1892
to 1894, since which time they have
steadily tended upward. Farm wages
now, compared with wages during the
eighties, are about 55 per cent higher;
