Rev. Smith Boyd would have liked
to state that he had been very
busy, but he had conscience, VIII j

most OF his spare time up in his study,
with his chin in his hand.
You are quite right, mother" he
somberly confessed. and swallowed
two spoonfuls of his soup. 1t was ex-
cellent soup, but, after taking a bite
Of a wafer, he laid his spoon on the
edge of the plate.
II think I'll drive you out OF the
house, Tod" Mrs. Boyd decided, in the

something. Look in here" and he
opened the library door.
Dalrymple stepped to the opening
and saw, not merely seven men, mid
dle-aged and past, sitting around a
library table, but practically all the
freightable necessities of the United
States and practically all its money, a
power against which his many million
dollar railroad system was of no more
opposition than a toy train.

For moment the two men looked

enmity, begun while they were still in
the womb Of time, lay chill between
them. AT one instant, Dalrymple,
whose jaw muscles were working con-
vulsiyely, half raised his hands, as if
he were minded to fall on Allison and
strangle him; and it was not the fact
that Allison was probably the strong

when he rejoined his fellow members

PROTECT STOCK FROM FLIES
Department of Agriculture Recon-
mends Mixture of Soap and kerc-
sene-Use Spray or Wash.

(By CHARLES l. BRAY, Colorado Ex-
pertinent Station)
During the summer months, when
cattle are most likely to be bothered
with flies, there are many people
who wish to know what can be done
as a preventive. There are num-
Der Of methods sometimes recommend
ed for this purpose, some Of which are
supposed to keep flies off the animal
by virtue of their bad Odor or greasy
nature. and some which are supposed
to be sprayed on to kill the flies.
Considerable doubt exists as to the
benefits to be obtained from using
any of these treatments, or as to the
relative value of the different ways
of combating flies.
For spraying the backs of cattle at
milking time, there is possibly moth
ing more reliable than kerosene
emulsion. The following recipe
given by the United States department
of agriculture is one Of the best ways
of making this: dissolve One-half
pound Of hard soap il one gallon OF
hot water, and while still at near bell
ing point add two gallons kerosene,
and emulsify by use of force pump
or agitator Of some kind. Dilute with
water, one part emulsion to eight
par IS water. and use as spray, Clip

SHEEP REQUIRE SOME SHADE
Best Place for Shed is on Open
Ground Where There Is No
Grass-Hiah Fence Will Do.

Do rot allow the sheep to lie around
in fence corners Or huddle in under
brush. The best shade is shed on
open ground where there is NJ grass.
A little bit Of shelter is fine Cor

than a high board fence OF the side

The sheep can snuggle UP near to

Better than such a fence is piece

The sheep run up into that and escape

Rev. Smith Boyd. rector OF the

down on his knees, though not for any
clerical purpose, whereat the little col

er, near enough to the top to give him
a good long sweep for momentum.
This mishap being just one degree be-
yond the point to which Rev. Smith
Boyd had been consecrated, he ejacu-
lated as follows: -
No. it is not respectful, nor proper,
nor charitable, to set down what Rev.
Smith Boyd, in that stress. calculated;
bur beautiful, gray-haired lady, beau
tiful with the sweetness OF content and
the happiness Of gratified pride and
the kindness of humor, who had
paused at Rev Smith Boyd's open
door to inquire how soon he would be
down to dinner, hastily covered her
mouth with her hand, and moved away
from the door. with moist blue eyes,
around which twtnkled a dozen tiny
wrinkles born OF much smiling.
When the dignified young rector
came down to dinner. fully clothed and
apparently in his right mind, his moth
er, who was the beautiful gray-haired
lady with the tWinkling blue eyes,
looked across the table and smiled in
diligently at his disguise; for he was
not grown-up, tall broad-shOulderec
man of thirty-two at all. In reality he
was a shock-headed, slightly freckled
urchin of nine or ten. by the name OF
'Smitty" on the town commons, and
TOD" at home.
Aren't you becoming a trifle irrita-
bic of late, TOd?" she inquired with
sclicitude, wilefully suppressing a
smile which flashed up in her as she
remembered that ejaculation. 1t was
shocking in minister, Of course, but
she had ever contended that ministers
were, and should be, made of clay;
and clay is friable.

fessed Rev. Smith Boyd considering
the matter with serious impartiality.
Mrs. Boyd surveyed her son with a
practiced eye.
i think your appetite's dropping off
little" she commented and then she
was shrewdly silent, though the
wrinkles of humor came back to her
eyes by and by. 4 don't think you
take enough social diversion" she
finally advised him. You should go
out more. You should ride, walk, but
always in the company of young and
agreeable people. Because you are
rector is no reason for you to spend
your spare time in gloomy solitude, as
you have been doing for the past
week"

datioI itself will be impregnable

troll, collection and distribution, are SO
vast that they far outweigh any pos

right in the first place. You're put

traced. Now he took a pencil in his
hand, and placing the point at New

Again the nasal voice OF old Joseph

he remarked.
The bell of Allison's house phone
rang.
