CHAPTER XIV

CHAPTER XXIV
Copyright. 1915, Star Coz
All Milton gasped at the news OF
Jane Hardy's engagement. She was
a wise girl, the elderly people said. II
was known that Augustus Reeves had
lot of money laid safely away in
the bank. Since Ezra Hardy was
poor and had so little push and am
hition. II was we'll for his daughter
TO feather her nest.
The young people of the village
were of varying minds about the
affair. Those who were happy
enough to be romantic still voiced
their surprise and disappointment
They had supposed that Jane would
some time marry that nice San
been nothing between them yet,
but still one never knew what
might happen. And even if he was
not rich like Mr.. Reeves, he was
young and good looking and had
such lovely manners.
Thus the sentimen entalists. Jane S
other acquaintances-tho who had
an eye for the main chance were
of the opinion that while it was
n pity that James betrothed was so
many years her senior yet it was
better to be an old mans darling
than a young mans slave. Ger
tainly the Reeves house was big
old-fashioned and gloomy in APP
pearance.
But of course when Jane was
once established there she would
change things. Mary Baird had
been Mr.. Reeves housekeeper for
so long that he had gotten used to
her ways. But Jane had too much
rangement now. Even if she al
lowed Mrs. Baird to stay, she
would have the house run in her
own way.
Mary Baird herself heard the
news and laughed at it disdainfully.
working housekeeper since before
his wife's death, ten years ago
Would not she, OF all people in the
world, know If he was going to
get married again?
Mary Baird Feels Sure OF Her Place
Some such question as this she
hurled at a gossiping neighbor who

People must have something to
talk about, l suppose" Mary
scoffed. her black eyes snapping.
I'm not denying that Mr.. Reeves
goes to see the Hardys, but he's
been doing that for years, off and
on. And he did pick up Jane and
happened to be passing her house

have told him she'd never seen the
inside OF this house since she was
little, and he brought her by here
and let her get out and see how
nice the place looked. Just as he
might have brought a child by And
that's all there is to IT.
But that isn't all there is to
it," the neighbor insisted. 81 tell
you Mr.. Reeves has been goin
there more regular than ever late

mornin' and asked him if 1t was
true that there was to be a weddin'
in his family before another year
was over. and he grunted out, j

I'm not saying that there's not
going to be a wedding in his fam

Making a Living
From a Small Flock

The moderate sized poultry flock
is probably the most satisfactory
and profitable. 1t requires the time
of only one man (the owner) and
does not necessitate the hiring of
additional labor, which means
greater expense and less efficiency.
Next week Professor Harry r.

give several actual instances and
tell how a good living can be made
by small cash outlay. The illus

HOMER PIGEONS

and for other reasons the Homer is
the best for the beginner to select as
his foundation stock. 1t is vigorous,
alert, bright-eyed, full breasted. square
shouldered, prolific, large throated
and good feeder.
Homers are full grown at nine
months of age, They continue their
usefulness up to the age of nine years.

1t is generally conceded by breeders
that the Homer is superior to other
varieties of pigeons in its SQUAD pro-
ducing qualities. Some fanoiers admit
that the Red CarneauX and the Runt-
Homer are close rivals, but few claim
superiority for either of these two
breeds.

in an important case to bring VIM
Wiley before the par Of justice and

a juror with the alleged intention Of
influencing the juror TO vote in the

employed by judge Neblett was Of a
J character plain enough TO indicate that
il will be a dangerous practice to at
tempt to influence a juror or otherwise
interrupt court procedure.

ALL TEXAS SHEEP
QUARAN TINED
U. S. Willing to Cooperate
With Texas; Panhandle
Cattle Quarantine.

United States senator Norris Shep-
pard sends The Herald a letter from
the bureau Of animal industry Of the
department Of agriculture, which gives
Information OF value 10 the livestock
interests OF the state relating TO CO.
operation between the federal govern
meut and the state Of Texas in the con-
troll and eradication Of contagious dis
eases in livestock
The Ietter,is signed by A. D. Melvin.
chief of the bureau Of animal industry
and follows
Referring TO your recent visit TO
this bureau and request for Information
pertaining TO bureau cooperation with
the state Of Texas in the control and
eradication Of contagious diseases in
livestock. ] desire IL inform you that
satisfactory progress is being made in
the eradication of scabies in cattle IN
the Panhandle counties Of Texas, and IL
is expected that within the next year
the entire portion of the state under
quarantine for that disease viii be re
leased from quarantine.
Referring TO the subject Of scaOies
in sheep in Texas, il appears that up
TO the present time very little effort
has been made by the state Of Texas to
obtain the cooperation Of the depart
ment in controlling that disease. The
entire state of Texas is under federal
quarantine and no sheep are permitted
TO leave the state except in cars
placarded Exposed sheep for slaugh-
ter or a certificate showing them to
have been dipped under bureau super
vision, when for purposes other than
immediate slaughter, accompanies the
shipment
1T is believed that by proper coop
Grafton between the state of Texas
and the department of agriculture that
present conditions could be very much
improved This could be done by the
state placing under quarantine the
areas in which disease exists and strict
y maintaining such quarantine, pro-
vided the federal quarantine is limited
10 the same area. While the existing
Texas state laws appear to provide all
the authority necessary for the en-
1orcemenr Of livestock quarantine reg
ulations, no provision nor authority is
given county court commissioners to
provide funds or adequately cooperate
with the state livestock sanitary COM
mission in the control and eradica-
tion Of contagious diseases in livestock
within the different counties
In this Connection, il appears that at
the present time there is before the
state legislature a bill known as house |
