"Mein kleine maedchen." he trembled.
"Ach. mein kleine m~aedchen.'
1t was 3 o'clock in the morning
when he left her, but he routed Bur
rell out Of bed and made him sit up
until half-past 4. while he discussed
everything under the face of the sur

Burrell, dog tired. listened patiently,

himself he gave a start

blurted out. dropping into a broad
n show for her suffering. Speed is
what would count. and there was no
such nimble fingers in the world as
Schriftman's.
Burrell was on his feet.
"Gretzel's life is literally in your
hands. doctor" he exclaimed impul-
sively. God give her strength TO bear
the ordeal"
Amen" muttered Schriftman.
During the next few weeks Gretzel
seemed actually TO grow slightly
plump and rosy. but almost in the
same proportion Schriftman grew wan
and pale. He realized that Burrell
had told the truth: If the child was
to have a fighting chance for life, then
he must do the operation.
But was it possible TO make the
kleine maedchen understand that what
he did he did for her own deal sake?
Could he make her realize that the
hand she grasped so confidently would
not willingly cause her brutal pain?
Ach-the honest trust OF those blue
eyes!

felt Schriftman's hand close over hers
she knew that now no more harm
could come to her. The consequent
relaxation Of her tense nerves brought
even some surcease OF pain, so that
at night she frequently slept two or
three hours at a time.
But the best thing about these maps
was the excitement of waking up and

but always he came between the dusk
and the dawn. Always his greeting
was the same:
How II goes, kleine maedchen?'
Always she answered:
I'm partickly comfy. Mister Sanity"
Then he would seat himself by the
bed. she would TAXI a tight grip on his
thumb, and they were OF in a jify to
some glorious German fairyland.
The wonder was where the Herr
Doctor found these stories. They GER
tainly were not in any Of his scientific
treatises, and he had read nothing
else for forty years.
II he made them up as he went
along then he must have had more
imagination than any one ever sus-
pected. II was to be noted. however.
that in these stories the heroine could
trace her beauty, her charm, as we'll
as the success Of all her adventures,
to the fact that she was very particu-
lar to eat as much as possible Of what
ever was brought to her.

night, "if you would be a princess
you must eat und you must sleep.

The Farm Garden

Some people like TO work. This is
evident because they always plant
their gardens in little beds, then do all
the cultivation by hand instead OF
Using cultivators. A wheel hoe costs
about $3.50. 1t will pay for itself In
10 hours use. A large part of every
farmers garden should be cultivated
with horse cultivator by man. To
save work do not throw up beds, group
together the small vegetables such as
onions, radishes, lettuce, parsnips,
beets. etc. Put them in long rows and
cultivate at least once a week with
the wheel hoe. Very little hand hoe
ing will be necessary. Potatoes, corn,
cabbage, tomatoes and beans should
be grouped together and cultivated
with a horse.
III is great waste of time and en-
ergy to hoe ground which can be cul-
tivated with pillow. Make several sue
cessive paintings of all your favorite
vegetables that you may have q sue
cession. Try to get your vegetables
earlier than your neighbors. Have Wig
orous transplanted plants and do not
waste time-on small unthrifty ones

COUNTY FARM NOTES.
by John y. Mcdonald.


Recently quite q few members OF
the Preston county Farm Bureau on
the West Side have been purchasing
seed potatoes from members on the
East Side. One OF the objects OF the
farm bureau is to act as an advertising
medium. especially for pure bred live
stock. Recently a non-member sent
out to Ohio for registered bull. He
did not know that there was good
one for sale in this county less than
10 miles from him. Formerly many
of our farmers have been sending
north for their seed potatoes. See II
