Good Flour From Old Wheat.

Wheat thirty-four years old has just
been threshed, and it made exception
ally good bread. The wheat was
grown and harvested in 1881 by
farmer near Grantham, Lincolnshire,

"You see II the stone wasn't under

gotten all about Hale and his general
intentions which had been made man
ifest toward her for years. Hale just
seemed sort of comical when you
measured him up beside the Greek
gods and Whitney Dewing.
Judy turned breathlessly into the
lane to the little house among the
naples and hesitated just for second.
A black roadster stood under the
trees, and Mrs. Dewing had the tea
table out on the veranda. Judy's
quick eyes saw Whitney strolling back
through the lane from the studio with
a tall girl in long gray cloak.
Come here, Judy, won't you, and
join us?" called Mrs. Dewing. "You
have just seen the statutes, Alice, but
here Is the real, live little Thetis. I
don't know what Whitney would have
done without her?"
"She has perfect hands, Alice, look
at them," Whitney exclaimed eagerly.
Judy had never seen him eager before.
She held out her hands obediently and
smiled with the Gregory pluck even in
defeat. And all at once as she sat
there drinking tea with them all, hear
ing them make plans for the wedding
before Christmas, seeing the restful
ease and loneliness of his chosen lady
fair - all at once Judy opened her
brown eyes wider than usual and an
nounced:
I'm going to be married, too. Oh,
I've been engaged for years off and
on. No, indeed the same one,' blush
ing at Whitney's rallying teasing. "He
is Judge Tuttle's only son and he's
graduated from the State Agricultural
college, and :: and bravely, I've al
ways like him best of anybody"
Hale Tuttle?" queried Whitney,
REALLY Judith? That big, fine looking
chap with the curly hair who superin-
tended the work on the state road
over here"
Judy nodded proudly.
Hale can turn his hand to most
anything. Well probably live nearer
town when we're married -
And just here it occurred to her all
at once that she had not told Hale
yet, that Hale was lingering on back
home, waiting for an answer, while
she had run away to find the trail Of
romance, and 10, back over the COW
