afternoon was fair, but the farm path
leading up to the house was muddy.
From the porch, however, Pearl made
urgent gestures. apparently directing
the attention of Merrill to a package
on top of the letter box.
Merrill saw that 1t exactly re-
sembled the one he had delivered to
Miss Blake two days previous. 1t
felt soft and fluffy and he decided
it was some article of feminine adorn-
ment, a lace collar, an embroidered
handkerchief, or the like. Merrill had
heard that the elder sister of Miss
Blake was about to be married. This
new parcel, he theorized, might be
contribution to prospective linen
shower.
At all events he took it up, waved
1t at Pearl to indicate that he under
stood, and his pulse heightened as she
vigorously bobbed her pretty head
and smiled radiantly.
At the last delivery point Merrill
had picked spray of forget-me-nots.
He released the tiny thing of beauty
from his buttonhole and placed it be-
tween two letters directed to Pearl.
Then he went on his way.
The next afternoon he sighted
Pearl again on the porch. He hoped
she would come to the road in person
for the mail Merrill even waved the
letters intended for the house invit-
ingly.
But coy Pearl betrayed an inexpli-
cable shyness. She made gesture
and half hid behind post. On top
of the mail box was fine bouquet of
red roses.
"Ah. another errand to Miss Blake?"
soliloquized Merrill, taking up the
pretty flowers. He raised them to in
hale their delicate perfume. Then

WITH BARNS
FULL OF STOCK
Didn't Look Much Like Hard
Times in Western Canada.

A. Meyer, who left one of the best
Counties in Minnesota, probably be-
cause he got a good price for his ex-
cellent farm, and left for the Canadian
West, writes to his local paper, the
Bagley Independent. His story is well
worth repeating. He says:
ITO say / was greatly surprised
when reached Saskatchewan and AL
berta would be expressing 1t mildly.
In country where SO much suffering
was reported, ! found everyone in
good circumstances, and especially
all our friends who have left Clearwa-
ter and Polk counties. They all have
good homes and those who were re-
ported to have sold their stock through
lack Of feed, found with their barns
full Of stock, and it did not look very
much like hard times. They have
from 100 acres to two sections Of the
finest land that can be found.
Those that left here two or three
years ago have from 100 to 400 acres
in crops this year.
Prospects for bumper crop are
splendid. 1t Is little cold now, but
nothing is frosted. either In gardens
or fields. Land can be bought quite
reasonably here from those who vol
unteered their services in the Euro
pean war. Here are certainly the
best opportunities for securing good
home with farm and independence
for life in a short time. Before
started / heard that prices were so
high. Flour was reported at S12 per
hundred 1t is $425 here. In the west
all the groceries can be purchased
for nearly the same as in MINI. The
only article that found higher
was kerosene at IS cts per gallon.
When I saw the land wondered why
people do not live where they pro-
duce enough from the soil to make
comfortable living. We visited T. T.
Safer. John Dahls, W. ]. and r. d.
Hollis; Martin Halmen, Ole Halvorson,
VIM. Walker and Geo. Colby, all
from Bagley. We found well and pros
porous farmers who wished to be re-
membered to all their Bagley friends"

est and a flutter of expectation as he
neared the half tubular zinc receptacle

Beyond, at the end of leafy-roofed
arcade two hundred feet long, was the
substantial, inviting-looking old farm
house. 1t held three daughters and
two sons. In one of them young
Worth Merrell was especially inter
ested. A shy, blushing, fluttering
young creature, the morning previous
she had fitted down the shady lane
to the side of the mail cart, light and
graceful as some fairy.
He had handed her some letters adj
dressed to her father and couple of
magazines. She had smiled upon him
in way that set his nerves tingling.
In her embarrassment she had
dropped letters and bundles. Their
heads had bumped together as they
stopped mutually to recover them
Then both had smiled.

"Oh. thank you'll" and Pearl Foster
handed him neat parcel, smiled be-
witchingly and fitted away like a
frightened fawn.
The Blake home was the last farm
house on Merrill's route. He delivered
the package to Miss Blake and went
on his way, dreaming fondly of the
lovely girl who had broken the ice of
a mutual acquaintance.
Merrill looked eagerly for his
charming ideal the next day, but 1t
was raining, so she did not come down
to the mail box at the road. The next
