CHAPTER xVIli-contInued.

"Ah, yew young rascal" cried Sam
ueL "Yew're the feller that eat ur
all my winter cabbages."
At this uncanny reading Of his
mind Mr.. Colonial darted on into
the woods again to seek out his mate
and inform her that their guilt had
been discovered
Finally, Samuel came to the break
In the woodland, an open field of rye,
green as springtime grass, and his
own exquisitely neat abode beckon-
ing across the gray rail fence to him.
How pretty Blossy's geraniums
looked in the sitting-room windows!
Even at this distance, too, he could
see that she had not forgotten to wa
ter his pet abutilon and begonias. How
welcome in the midst of this furry Of
snow-how welcome to his eye was
that smoke coming out of the chin

from home seemed worth while now

The kitchen door was locked. The
key was not under the mat; 1t was not
in the safe on the porch. behind the
stone pickle-pot He tried the door
again. and then peered in at the win
dow.
Not even the cat could be discerned.
The kitchen was set In order, the
breakfast dishes put away, and there
was no sign of any baking or prepare
lions for dinner.
He knocked, knocked loudly. No
answer. He went to a side door, to
the front entrance, and found the
whole house locked, and no key to be
discovered. 1t was still early In the
morning. earlier than Blossy would
have been likely to set out upon an
errand or to spend the day; and then,
too, she was not one to risk her
health in such chilly, damp weather.
with every sign of heavy storm.
Samuel became alarmed. he called
sharply, "Blossy!" No enswer Mis-
Rose!" No answer "Ezral" And
still no sound in reply
His alarm increased. He went to
the barn; that was locked and Ezra
nowhere in sight. BY standing on tip
toe, however. and peeping through a
crack in the boards, he found that his
horse and the two-seated surrey were
missing.

MAKE PROFIT WITH GUlNEAS
Not Much Attention Paid 70 Them on
Account of QuarreIsome Nature
They Are Wide Rangers.

The reason more guinea fowls are
not raised is doubtless because of
their quarreisome nature and harsh
cry, which render them Objectionable
to many persons. However, properly
cared for, they can be made source
of profit. They are now selling in the
markets Of Boston, New York and
Philadelphia for $1.25 to $1.4O per pair.
In Washington, they bring from
twenty to thirty cents pound. Guinea

to them. They are wide rangers, and
If raised for profit, should be confined

NOT A HOME LEFT TO VISIT.

So Love returned, when twilight fell.
And found his flower dying-dead;
The queenly rose he loved so well
Lay in his arms with dropping head
All. Love! she cried, thy kisses burn:
If Love once flies. he may return-no
more.
Many a well-meaning young man
wears out his welcome with the girls
by failing to keep his appointments
on the evenings they are expecting
him to call. He thinks any old ex-
cuse will satisfy the young ladies', but
he soon wakes up to the fact that
girls might be fooled once or twice,
but after that they sum him up for
just what ne is-a free lance, to whom
one girl is quite as attractive as an
other.
He soon finds that these girls to
whom he comes with a patched-up
apology are not home OF course this
state of affairs brings him to e reali-
cation of his fault but it is too late
to mend matters.
Most men nold the key of their
own popularity. 1t is for them to use
1t wisely or to abuse the privilege.
When he knows he is at fault, in
stead of saying, What is the use?''
he should write note, frankly ac-
knowleiging his error and humbly SUI
ing for pardon
Where he would ind one girl re-
sentful and unwilling to be friends
with him, he would come across many
others who would be willing to meet
the situation half way and give him
another chance. The young man may
not be so much at fault after all.
One or two visits may have sufficed
to show him that the girl has taken
too much of fancy to him; a fact
which he deems wisest and best to
discourage Again, he may infer that
he may be led on merely to pique
some lover who is off the track and
to show him that there are plenty of
other beaux she can get In a case
of this kind a man is certainly justi-
fed in absenting himself on reason
able grounds.
Even the most tickle of men do
not relish playing second fiddle He
may be too honest to lead girl on
to hope when he knows that there is
every chance against his being able
to support wife, especially if the
girl is limiting about many of her
friends m rrUiYO On short fVak.
ance. No man likes to have a girl
force the situation in that matter.
1t is not to be wondered that a man
is sometimes frightened away when
he has just begun to take an inter-
est in the young lady. There has
been no time for his esteem for her
to grow into a warmer sentiment. He
knows that on one or two calls she
could not have developed a sincere,
deep liking for him.
Then, again. there are girls who
do not hold mans interest very long.
They talk upon frivolous subjects, or
get up learned discourses that take
too much brain work to follow A
man who has listened to subjects of
these kinds which do not interest him
in the least takes his hat and his
departure as soon as he can find a
lull in the conversation. In small
towns young man soon runs through
the list of places to visit If he is not
in love with any girl. he takes the
situation in good part and thanks his
stars that there is not home which
he is obliged to visit

Hoo Bath in Winter.

In winter it is impossible, under or
binary conditions in Minnesota, to use
bath where the hogs can be freed
from lice. A spray of kerosene emul-
sion or creosote dip should then be
used.
One of the simplest remedies, for
killing both lice and nits, is that in
which crude oil is used and rubbed
over the bodies of the hogs. The
work in all these cases must be done
very carefully to be effective.-M Mime,
