as she became conscious of his aston
ishment. added falteringly:
Have you any objection to meeting
me tomorrow on the bluff overlooking

The Judge was looking at her; he
had not moved; nor had an eyelash
stirred, but the rest OF that sentence
had stuck in her throat, and she found
herself standing as immovably quiet
as he.
why there?" he asked.
'Because"--her words came slowly.
haltingly, as she TREMENDOUSLY, almost
fearfully, felt her way with him-'be-
cause--there-is-no - other place
-where--I can made-my point"
He smiled. It was his first smile
in years and naturally was a little
constrained-and to her eyes at least,
almost more terrifying than his frown.
why have you waited till now?'
he called out. forgetful that they were
not alone in the house, forgetful, APP
parently. OF everything but his sur
prise and repulsion. Why not have
made use of this point before It was
too late? You were at your husbands
trial; you were even on the witness
stand?"
She nodded, thoroughly cowed at
last both by his Indignation and the
revelation contained in this question
of the judicial mind--"Why now, when
the time was Them"
Happily, she had an answer.
Judge Ostrander. had reason
for that. too; and. like my point, 1t
is good one. But do not ask me for
1t tonight. Tomorrow will tell you
everything. But It will have to be
in the place have mentioned. viii
you come to the bluff where the ruins
are one-half hour before sunset?
Please be exact as to the time. You
will see why. If you come"
He leaned across the table-they
were on opposite sides OF it--plungins
his eyes into hers. then drew back. and
remarked with an aspect of gloom but
with much less the appearance of dis
trust:
"A very odd request. madam. hope
you have good reason for it," adding,
Il bury Bella tomorrow and the GENE
terry is in this direction. l will meet
you where you say and at the hour

And, regarding him closely as he
spoke. she saw that for all the cor.
rectness of his manner and the bow
of respectful courtesy with which he
instantly withdrew. that deep would
be his anger and unQuestionable the
results to her If she failed to satisfy
him at this meeting of the value OF
her point in reawakening justice and
changing public opinion.

Looking to tho Future.

are interested. The feeling we can
understand; the thought-that is, Mrs.
Averill's thought-we should do we'll
to follow.
The one great question which had
agitated her was this: Should she trust
the Judge? Ever since the discovery
which had changed Reuther's pros
poets she had instinctively looked to
this one source for aid and sympathy.
But her faith had been sorely shaken
in the interview just related. He was
not the friend she had hoped to find.
He had insisted upon her husbands
guilt. and he had remained unmoved.
or but very little moved, by the dis
appointment OF his son---his only re-
naming link to life. Judge Ostrander
might seem cold-both manner and
temper would naturally be much az
fected by his unique and solitary mode
of life--but at heart he must love Oil

be otherwise. And yet
II was at this point In her musing
that there came one OF the breaks in
her restless pacing. She was always
Of an impulsive temperament, and al
ways giving way to 1t. Sitting down
before paper and ink she wrote the
following lines:
My Darling II Unhappy Child:
I know that this sudden journey on my
part must strike you as cruel, when, II
ever, you need your mothers presence
and care. But the love / feel for you.

momentary pain for the sake Of the great
good 1 hope to bring you out OF this
shadowy quest / believe, what / said to
you on leaving, that a great injustice was
done your father. Feeling so, shall l re-
main quiescent and see youth and love

part to set this matter straight? can

BORAH SCoyILLE.
1t was not easy for her to sign
herself thus. 1t was a name which
she had tried her best to forget for
twelve long, preoccupied years. But
her purpose had been accomplished
or would be when once this letter
reached Reuther. With these words
in declaration against her she could
not retreat from the stand she had
| therein taken.
She recommended that rapid walk
ing to and fro which was working
such havoc in the nerves of the man
in the room below her, When she
paused it was to ransack trunk and
bring out a fiat wallet filled with news
paper clippings, many of them discol
ored by time, and all of them showing
marks of frequent handling.

CRy john D. PRENTIcE.l

(By JOHN d. PRENTICE)
A good many years ago | suddenly
woke up to the fact that the idlers
IN the farm are the things that keep
\ man from making money. When
came West fifteen years ago visited
big manufacturing plant at Chicago
and ! was struck by the system which
xept everybody and everything busy.
In going through the factory could
not see an idle man nor an idle ma
chine. Everything and everybody was
IN the jump every minute. No lost
motion, no loafing on the job. And as
4 pondered over the matter on my way
to my new farm / began to realize
how much / had lost in the past
through maintaining idle and unpro-
iuctive things.
AS soon as | got settled sold off
.hree old horses l had brought with
me. and bought two good ones; traded
four cows that had never been up to
the mark for two that gave more
milk than the four ever did, and ! in
vested some of my capital in flock
y 20 sheep, about 100 hens and five

Then traded an old reaper that l

Il never let go her hand"
Woman. you are keeping nothing
back?v
Nothing but my terror at the sight
Of Bella running in all bloody to escape
the people pressing after him."
Sincerity was in her manner and in
her voice. The judge breathed more
easily, and made the remark:
mo one with hearing unimpaired
can realize the suspicion OF the deaf.
nor can anyone who is not subject to
attacks like mine conceive the doubts
with which man so cursed views
those who have been active about him
while the world to him was blank"
Thus he dismissed the present sub
ject, to surprise her by renewal OF
the old one.
What are your reasons said he,
for the hopes you have Just ex.
pressed? think 1t your duty to tell
me before we go any further.
Excuse me for tonight. What l
have to tell--or rather. what have to
show you-requires daylight" Then,

had brought with me an old thresh-
ing machine with which | used to go
around through our neiShborhood In
Ohio every fall doing odd jobs Oh
threshing. OF course / made a little
money at this, but when ! figured out
the time the old machine stood idle
about ten months in the year-and re-
pairs | had to pay for anG the time
spent in hunting up jobs, ! quickly
discovered that the old rattle;rap had
cost me good deal of money.
/ traded the outfit for a bunch OF
yearling calves and felt that / had a
load off my chest.
Within week after hrd made my
trades and purchases had the sheep
busy cleaning up 20-acre pasture,
over 100 chickens were scratching
their living out of the fields, the hogs
were putting on flesh; the cows made
more butter than we could use, which
brought us in cash every week, and
the calves were laying money on their
ribs right along. Everything was
working night and day.
OF course | could not make all the
changes / wanted at once, but within
six months every head of live stock on
the place was good Of it's kind, and
profitable. That is the main thing,
to invest ones capital only in things
that will bring returns on the invest
ment.
/ never before had realized how
greatly handicapped the farmer is
who tries to work with old, half worn
out machinery, decrepit horses that
cannot do more than half days work
in a day, cows that eat more than
they earn. and who has no poultry or
sheep to clean up the stuff that would
otherwise go to waste.
BY changing my methods l have
made three times as much money
since l canse to South Dakota as l
ever did in Ohio, although l do not
think my land is any better and we
do not work as hard.
| have exactly the same amount of
land had In Ohio and perhaps have
learned how to farm it better, but l
attribute what little success have
had to the fact that everything on the
place is productive and that l keep
everybody and everything busy every
! minute / can.

POTATO RIOTS QUITE COSTLY

Mercury Bichloride.

Various types of rot annually de.
stroy many thousands of dollars
worth of potatoes. The rots respon.
sible for much of these damages are
internal brown rot, powdery dry rot,
soft rot and stem rot.
Very often tubers are attacked in
the field or in storage by a soft rot
which quickly reduces the potatoes to
a soft, Shiny, foul-smelling mass.
The stem rot fungus, rhizoctonia
produces on the tubers small dark
brown bodies which resemble bits ~
soil. These bodies are the wintering,
over stage of the fungus and NAV
spread very rapidly from one tuber.to
another under improper methods o.

NONSENSE TO STAY IN RUT
Ability to "Rlse" In Life Is More or
Less Present in Every
Human Being.

In every business there are many
who know nothing about their posi-
bilities. They live humdrum lives
Flooding along in the same old ruts
from day to day, but In business
sense they are practically dead and
finish their business careers without
waking up-they just exist. They
see an occasional man rise up from
the mass on the wings of fortune or
fame. He is a nine-day wonder, and
then the rest of the community set
tie down again and wait for some
thing to turn up" for them.
The hidden forces for rising out Of
the ruts are to be found in all "ordi-
nary" folk. All that is needed to put
those forces to work is an awaken
ing-a realization that great effort Is
behind great accomplishments. Fame
and fortune do not come unbidden.
They come only by reaching out and
grasping them as they pass by.
The man who is satisfied with things
as they are, will never rise above his
fellows, but the man who reaches
out and grasps every opportunity is
the man upon whom good luck will
smile.
The hidden power is in you, all
right, and there 1t will stay until you
wake up and go out in the world and
make yourself known. Modesty may
be virtue. but merit that vaunts t.
self occasionally Is the kind that brings
home the money to the wife and chill
dren.
