1t was six miles from the railway
station, Maud had written, Just a
pleasant little hike along the shore
road until you came to Turtle Isle.
1T isn't q pretty or romantic name,
but it's just the shape of turtle, and
George named it. would have called
it Hearts Rest or something like

mental ballast in life. Come soon,

yourself at home. We often run over

Kate regarded the shore road ap-
preciatively. 1t was two hours be-
fore even the late fall twilight could
overtake her. The foliage along the

j ly in from the Sound and the water
broke on the beach in long, lazy rolls
1t was all very great to talk of sum

season that called the feet of the
young women from city marts, she
thought, whimsically.

George says he's all right among the

who hurt him, Kate?"
! Hates conscience was clear. She
had met Hartley Fallows back In
town at a few affairs the past year.
Once he had stood next her at the
preliminary reception to dinner at
the Waldorf in honor of some notable
party and she had noticed a long cur
ly blounde hair on his back coat
Blessed with a sense of humor. she
had said very gently. "She has blond
hair. hasn't she,. Mr.. Fallows?"
| And he had turned horribly red and
looked very distant and embarrassed,
even while he plucked off the blond
hair. But he did not cast it from him.
He wound it absently around one
finger and stuck it in his pocket. Such
things change a mans whole life.
| It was sunset when she came
to the island. She knew it at once.
Anyone could see that 1t looked ex-
actly like turtle, and there was a
flat bottomed boat drawn up hand1ly
on the sandy shore. She called Maud

COMPETING WITH AMERICAN
FARMERS

Consul Felix S. s. Johnson, King
ston, Ontario, files a report showing
the value Of exports Of live cattle from
Canada to the United States since
1900. For 1911 the value was $465,079;
1912, s615,399. These two years were

MAKING MONEY WITH SHEEP
Cost of Raising Is Small Compared With High Prices They Bring
 Increase Fertility of Soil.

The cost of raising sheep is small compared with the high prices they command or with the cost of produc- ton of any other farm animal. The Lincoln, Cotswold and Leicester are probably the three larges' abreeds of sheep-if any favor in size the Lin coin probably has it. A practical breeder says: "If I want a large-grows Ing lamb, to put on the market at six or eight weeks old, will use a larger breed than the Southdown, which I might use if I was after a mutton chop. For such lambs am partial to the Oxford, but the Hampshire might give as good satisfaction" Sheep are a good medium for increasing the fer tility of the farm of the man of limited means. A dozen ewes, properly cared for, will soon raise lambs enough to stock your farm with sheep. The esti- mate is that five sheep can be kept on what one COW will consume. With good, bright, wheat straw and half pound of corn daily, breeding ewes and store sheep will winter nicely. One of the difficulties in raising sheep

FEEDING ALFALFA TO SWINE
No Better or More Practicable Method Known Than That of Giving Hay
 to Animals In Rack.

There does not appear to be any more practicable method of grinding hay for hogs than by feeding the hay via a good rack.
 A few years ago some enthusiast wrote story about alfalfa tea, which he said was the finest thing on earth; that the tea extracted all the animal food in the alfalfa and at the same time left the plant food for the soil. By giving the tea to the hogs they would gain their weight, and then you on the land. The story found its way into one of the eastern publications and the western experiment stations have been flooded with inquiries ever since

Didn't care whether I died on the road or not l should have but for my boy James. The man sent along with us a poor discarded wom- an, of whom he had grown tired. She died when we reached town. I had hardly any money. He refused to pay me for the last two months, about fifty pounds. There was no redress for me. There was no possible way I could get back at him. Miss Chetwood, I took money that did not belong to me. It went over gaming tables Craig. l ran away Craig knows and this man Mallow knows. Can you not see the wisdom of giving me a wide berth?"

 Thanks. But you see: 1 am an out cast. Tonight, not a soul on board will be in ignorance of who am and what l have done. Trust Craig and Mallow for that. Thursday we shall be in Singapore. You must not speak to me again. Give them to understand that you have found me out, that imposed on your kindness"

Warrington puts Rajah the parrot. through his tricks Tor Elsa and they pass two golden days together on the river. Martha, Elsa's companion warns her that there is gos- sip. In Rangoon.

turned his head slowly, and Elsa, who had not dropped her hand, could feel the muscles of his arm stiffen under the sleeve. He held the strangers eye defiantly for space. The latter laughed insolently if silently. It was more for Elsa's sake than for his own that Warrington allowed the other to stare him down. The flame passed. leaving him as cold as ashes. Il shall tell you who he is later; not here"
 For the second time since that night on the Irrawaddy. Elsa recorded a dis agreeable sensation. It proved to be transitory, but at the time 1t served to establish stronger doubt in regard to her independence, so justifiable in her own eyes. It might be insidiously lead. ing her too far away from the step ping-off place. The unspoken words in those hateful eyes! The man knew Warrington, knew him perhaps as a malefactor. and judged his associates accordingly. She thus readily saw the place she occupied in the mans esti- nation. She experienced shiver of dread as she observed that he stepped on board the tender. She even heard him call back to his friend to expect him in from Singapore during the sec. ond week in March. But the dread went away. and pride and anger grew instead. All the way back to the ship she held her chin in the air, and from time to time her nostrils dilated. That look! If she had been nearer she was certain that she would have struck him across the face.
 There will be no one up in the bow" said Warrington. Will you go up there with mel"
 After moments hesitation, she nodded. A moment after she felt tae old familiar throb under her feet, and the ship moved slowly out of the bay.
 Do you know that that man came aboard?"
 T know it." The wide half.circle of cocoanut palms grew denser and lower as they drew away. This is the story.

pretty town. As they left for shore he produced a small beautiful blue feath- CT; he gave it to Elsa with the compli- ments of Rajah; and she stuck it in the pugree of her helmet. This is not from the dove of peace"
 Its archenemy, rather" he laughed. "I wish I had the ability to get as furious as that bird. It might do me world of good"
 And how long is it since you were here?"
 -Four years" he answered without enthusiasm. He would not have come ashore at all but for the fact that Elsa had ordered the expedition.
 There was no inclination to explore the shops; so they hired landau and rode about town, climbed up to the quaint temple in the hills, and made tour of the botanical gardens.
 Isn't it delicious!" murmured Elsa, taking in deep breaths of the warm spice-laden air. Since her visit to the wonderful gardens at Randy in Cey- lon she had found a new interest in plants and trees.
 She thoroughly enjoyed the few hours on land, even to the powwow Warrington had with the interruptions driver who, at the journeys end, sub- stituted one price for another despite his original bargain.
 AS they waited for the tender that was to convey them back to the ship, Elsa observed powerful middle-aged man, gray-haired, hawk-faced, steel eyed. watching her companion intent ly. Then his boring gaze travelled over her. from her canvas shoes to her hel- | met. There was something so baldly appraising in the look that flush of | anger surged into her cheeks.

PROPER TIME TO WEAN COLT
Eat Hay and Grain Before Re- moval-Put Mare on Dry Feed.

The colt should be allowed to re- main with the mare until it has be- come accustomed to eat grain and hay before it is weaned. In nearly all cases it will be best to feed the mare for at least several weeks be- fore the colt is removed with ground oats and wheat bran.
 Give the mare roomy, well-bedded box stall, so the colt can eat beside her. This Is one of the easiest and quickest ways of teaching the colt to eat.
 Give the colt good blue grass and white clover pasture. but put the mare on dry feed. This will help to dry up her milk without causing a swollen udder.
 While it is not necessary to par ticularly push the growth of the colt, It is very essential that a steady growth be maintained and generally 1t will pay to feed little grain, un- less the pasture is unusually good. Ground oats and wheat bran, say one to two pints per day, fed dry will pro- mote growth of bone and muscle and a well-developed healthy animal.
 Corn is not suitable food for a young growing animal.

 You crow, l could break you like pipe stem" Mallow rammed his hands into his coat pockets, scowling con- temptuously. He weighed fully twenty pounds more than Warrington.
