LIMIT TO THE OBSERVATION
Peculiar Fact That Most People Can
See Only What They Are

Teneriffe in a rare mood; and every
one who saw it, said at once, oh,
yes-Dutch." This is an example,
such as most artists could multiply, OF
that instructive habit by which we Sc

have grown accustomed to seeing. It

CHAPTER XVI.
The Creed of Gail.

Who was that tall, severely correct
gentleman waiting at the station, with
bunch Of violets in his hand, and the
light in his countenance which was
never on sea or land? It was Gerald
Fosland, and he astonished all be-
holders by his extraordinary conduct
AS the beautiful Arly stepped through
the gates, he advanced with an en-
tilaly unrepressed smile, springing
fro1a the balls of his feet with a buoy
ancy too active to be quite in rood
form. He took Arly's hand in his, but
he did not bend over it with his Gus
tonary courteous gallantry. Instead,
he drew her slightly towards him,
with firm 2nS deliberate movement,
and, bending his head sidewise under
the brim of her hat, kissed her;
kissed her on the lips!
Immediately thereafter he gave a
dignified welcome to Gail, and with

JUST A GENERAL NUISANCE
Dat Smudge, or Dat Louise, One OF the
Most Annoying Small Things
in the Universe.

The oat louise has no w1ngT, and yet
it flies through the air, borne on the
gentle breezes which watt over the
fields. Il has no legs, and yet it adj
heres to the flesh of man with devo'
ton that is inspiring. Some persons
call it the oat smudge, but most per-
sons call it by some harder name
A fine way to accumulate the tribe
is to take a trolley trip near fields
where the honest husbandman has
been garnering his crops. There the
oat lice, which are about the size OF
overgrown black feas, fill the air quite
numerously.
After such ride they can be found
adhering to the arms and face, with
small sprinkling down the neck. At
heart they are innocent young things,
neither biting nor singing, and yet,
because of Their peculiar rolling mo
ton, they are ticklish little devils. So
people shake them off.
The particular niche in nature filled
by oat lice is not quite clear, so it is
quite reasonable to assume that they
have been set apart to Offset the mani
fold Joys of the suburbanite.

DRENCHING DROVE or HOGS
Best Way Is to Drive Animals Into
Pen Where They Will Have But
Little Room to Move In.

The quickest and easiest way to
drench drove of hogs is to drive
them into a small pen where they will
have but little room to move about.
To hold the animal while drenching
it a Moose Of sash cord or quarter
inch rope can be placed around the
upper jaw, well back toward the
angles of the lips, and the medicine
thrown into the back part OF the
mouth with a dose syringe. AS there
is danger Of a hog breaking a syringe
it is best to use a metal one. Some
times when the drench is bulky and
the hog hard 70 hold, it is necessary
to elevate the mead and raise the fore
feet off the ground. For this purpose
a pulley and rope wire stretcher IS
recommended. It should be hung in
the most convenient part Of the pen
and the aniEzal secured in the usual
way by placing a moose around the
Jaw. The eni Of the rope is thrown
over the hook in the lower pulley and
the hog drawn up until it is almost
off the floor. It is best to wait till
the hog has become quiet, well under
control, before giving it the drench,
as there is some danger of the medi-
cine getting iuto the air passages and
doing harm.

that nobody wants, not even them
selves.
In the fields big team makes haste
by the width of the furrow or swath
they cut.
There is pleasure and inspiration in
the business of breeding and handling
high-class horses.
Bear in mind in breeding horses that
it is just as essential to breed good
feet on to them as to get weight and
blood in them.
The purebred mare is a good invest
:ment to the small farmer, and if he
will allow her to share the work OF
the place she will do nearly as much
work as gelding, and raise a good
colt besides.
A well-bred mare bred to a stallion
of best type will bring colt worth as
much at weaving time as a grade colt
would bring at maturity, sometimes a
lot more.

rapidly away, Arly looked up at him
in bewilderment; then she suddenly
Rugged herself closer to him with a
jerk. AS they went out through the
carriage entrance, she skipped.
It was good to see Allison, big,
strong, forceful, typical of the city and
it's mighty deeds. His eye had lighted
with something more than pleasure as
Gail stepped out through the gates of
the station; something so infinitely
more than pleasure that her eyes
dropped, and her hand trembled as
she felt that same old warm thrill of
his clasp. He was so overwhelming in
his physical dominance. He took i'm
mediate possession of her, standing
by while she greeted her uncle and
aunt and other friends, and beaming
with justifably proud proprietorship.
Gail had laughed as she recognized
that attitude. Allison was really a
big man, one born to command, to
sway things, to move and shift and re-
arrange great forces; and that, Of
course, was his manner in everything
She flushed each time she looked in
his direction; for he never removed
his gaze from her; bold, confident, SUI
preme. When a man like that is kind
and gentle and considerate, when he
is tender and thoughtful and full Of
devotion, he is a big man indeed!
Rev. Smith Boyd was at the steps of
the Sargent house to greet her. and
her heart leaped as she recognized
another of the dear familiar faces.
This was her world, after all; not that
world of her childhood How differ
ent the rector looked; or was it that
she had needed to go away in order
to judge her friends anew? His eyes
were different; deeper, steadier and
more penetrating into her own; and
yes, bolder She was forced to look
away from them for moment. There
seemed a warm eagerness in his greet
ing, as if everything in him were draw
ing her to him.
With a rapidity which was a marvel
to all her girl friends, Gail had slipped
upstairs and into creamy lace eve
ming frock without having been
missed; and she was in this acutely
harmonious setting when Rev. Smith
Boyd called, with his beautiful mother
on his arm The beautiful mother was
in an exceptional furry Oh delight to
see Gail, and kissed that charming
young lady with clinging warmth. The

steps, as they looked on Gail in her

UNLOADING CHUTE FOR STOCK
Device Patented by Illinois Man Is Es-
peciaIIy Good for Hogs-May Be
Moved Easily.

Handling of live stock, especially
hogs that are ready for market, is Oft
times cruel and cause of real finan.
cial loss to the shipper because OF
lack of unloading facilities at the local
stock yards. An Illinois farmer has
patented the unloading chute shown
to be moved freely about so that hogs
may be unloaded from the wagon on to
the level ground. Cleats prevent slip
ping of an animal that is coming down
the chute, thus reducing the possibili-
ties Of broken legs and bruises. The
chute may be folded up and carried on

had told him, that there was perfect

which throbbed within him. 1t had
come to him frcm her like the waver-

blended with his own pulsing diapason
in a melody so subtle that it drowned
the ge1ses to languorous swooning;
# had come 20 him with the delicate
far-off cervasiveness of the birth of a
new star in the heavens; it had come
to him as a fragrance, as radiance,

SONS, as something infinitely stronger,
and deeper, and sweeter, than the
sleep of death. That tremendous and
perfect fitness and accord with him he
felt in her hand even now. :

He drew q chair before her, and
took her hand again, but this time he
patted it between his own as if it were
a child's.

He looked at her searchingly for a
moment, and then his face grew
grave; but there was no GOODNESS in it,
nor any alteration in the blueness of
his eyes.

simple faith.
