That was true, and the old man
was welcome. No longer living upon
grudging charity, he sat at the table
with his relatives. The best bedroom
in the house had been offered him.
However, Old Mark would not take
that, but he was certainly more COM

no means lost his muscular activity.
AS labor was scarce in the neighbor-
hood, the farmers, incredulous at first
when the old man offered his serv-
ices, were glad enough to allow him
to dig in their gardens at dollar
day. Besides that the old man did
odd chores.
He must be making a mint of

And I wish you joy of him." re-
peated Mrs. Philip Adams, pursuing
her lips and looking angrily at Lucy
Smith.
1t had always irritated the wealthy
farmers wife that her cousin, the wife
of neer-do-well Frank Smith, should
have offered home to their mutual
uncle, Mark Evans.
Mark Evans had owned a prosper
Gus farm of his own a few years be-
fore, but when his wife died the old
man of eighty was unable to keep it
up. At eighty-two his niece, Mrs.
Adams, fearing that the Gepreciating
property would leave her only trivial
legacy, persuaded the old man to sell
out.
Pay the money over to me and
PHIL she said, and we'll take care OF
you for the rest of your days"
The old man did so, but the farm
realized less than a thousand dollars.
The Adams family was furious.
IF I'd known the old sl1inflint wasn't
worth more than that, I'd have seen
myself swished before I'd have got

What's he done with all his money?
He used to be rich,' said his wife.
However, he won't last long"
But he did last. Old Mark -four
ished amazingly, and at eighty-four he
was as vigorous as many man OF
half his age. In vain his niece watched
for signs of breakdown.

less old cusS for ever" muttered her
husband. IF it wasn't for what the
neighbors would say, I'd turn him away
to the poorhouse. He's stung us fair. "
Old Mark heard that. He had re-
signed himself without complaint to
the attic room, to a separate table
where he received the scraps that fell
from the family's leavings. He had
borne the taunts of the ill-bred Adams
children. But it stung him to the
quick TO be a burden, to be accused
of dishonesty.

spend a week with her" he announced
the next day. Guess I'll pay her a
visit.

However, Lucy had paid the fare,
and the old man duly departed. The

Under the Willows.

Because the European supply OF
willow rods has been largely cut off
several American manufacturers OF
willow furniture and baskets have
asked the department of. agriculture
for the addresses of persons in thia
country who have taken up willow
growing. For some years the depart
ment. has distributed willow cuttings
of imported varieties with a view to-
developing the production of high
grade willow rods in the United States
The usual imports of willows come
chiefly from England, Belgium, Hol-
land, France and Germany, but these
sources have been practically closed
for several months.

the old familiar scenes and surround

with renewed vigor, health and hap
piness. Mr.. o. F. Davis, of 124 w.

trip through the New England States,
stopping at various places along the
route to visit relatives and friends un-
til he reaches the home of his broth
er, Rev. B. F. Davis, at Kent's Hill,
in the State of Maine, where he will
remain for a few days. Being among
his people, who are descendants of the
Maydower fame, he will no doubt en-
joy the rehearsing of the many 1e-
gends of old. On his return trip he
will visit those States and places
omitted on his trip north. In a let
ter received by Mrs. Davis, he de-
scribes the country he passed through
as beautiful and delightful. He ex-
poets to reach Pleasantville after the
first week in November.
