Story OF a Man Who Was Max
ing Good, but Rowing Fever
Got the Best Of Him.

On May 4th. 1915, the st. Paul Farm.
er's Dispatch contained very inter
esting account Of the experiences of q
man from Staples, MINI. Realizing
that he was not making much head
way. he decided to look up q home
stead In Canada. With $3.50 he and
his wife took up a homestead near
Outlook, Saskatchewan. After recount.
ing his experiences Of few years, In
which they had undergone hardships
which were likely to be unavoidable,
with a small amount Of capital, he
continues the story by stating that
In the fall after a fair summers work
on his 100 acres cropped, he cleaned
up nearly all his debts, having now
four good horses, complete set Of
farm machinery including two wagons
and . Swell top buggy and eleven
head Of cattle. He continues, How
ever, I was not satisfied. l had been
reading of the splendid homesteads
that were to be had in Montana.
Wheat was cheap and thought II
would get cheaper. so l began to think
that homesteading as a moneymaking
proposition was better than farming.

in groceries and more, we had now
four milch cows, two heifers coming In

quarter section of land that could
raise an abundance Of small grain.
roots and grass for feed, but I could
not see all that; / had the moving
fever, and decided to sell.
set the price on the land at $1,000
cash. could not find anyone with
that much money, however, so I came
down until finally sold for $1,400.
We had an auction and sold the per-
sonal property. On the sale we got
Just about enough cash to pay the auc-
tioneer; the rest was all notes.
The horses brought about two-thirds
what they were worth. The imple-
ments sold for hardly one-third of
WHAT tney nad cost. Inc cattl0
brought good price.
Must Make Another start.
We now have homestead In Mon
tana, but we find that after moving
here and getting settled. what money
we had did not go far. We have three
horses, about all the implements we
need. and q little better buildings
than we had on our former place. We
have no cattle. though we had to build
much fence to keep ranch stock out
of our fields. We have about $500
worth Of honest debts.
True, we have half section In
place Of a quarter. but that is no good
to US. as long as we have not the
capital with which to work 1t.
In summarizing 1t all up I-see wheres
made my mistake. It will take fully
five years to get into as good circum-
stances as We were before we made
the change. 1t Is five years lost.
My advice to anyone contemplate
ing a change Of location is to think
twice before you act, and II your pres
emit circumstances are not too bad.

Quest awoke the next morning,
stretched out his hand and glanced at
the watch by the side of the bed. It
was barely six o'clock. He turned over
and dozed again, looked again at half
past six, and finally, at few minutes
to seven, rose and made hasty
toilet. Then, in the act of placing his
watch in his waistcoat pocket, he gave
a sudden start. BY its side, half COW
cred by the handkerchief which he had
thrown upon the little table, stood a
small black box! For moment he
was motionless. Then he stretched out
his hand, removed the lid and drew
out the usual neatly folded piece Of
paper:
Even time fights you. II loses that
you may Iose.--The Hands.
Quest for a moment was puzzled.
Then he hurried into the next tent.
where the professor was sleeping
peacefully.
Say, professor, what's the time by
your watch?" Quest asked, shaking
him gently.
The professor sat up and drew his
chronometer from under his pillow.
Seven O'clock" he replied; "fye
minutes past, maybe"
Quest nodded.
"That seems all right" he declared.
'I'll explain later, professor"
He hurried out into French's tent
and found the inspector just drawing
