To know where to grade roads is one

no less important to land owners to
know where lines are, when they build
fences and buildings. Delay is only
putting of the evil day Of reckoning

there is doubt, lands should be survey

be almost nothing and more accurate

REVELATIONS0F A WIFE
By ADELE GARRLsON

. rive.
 l l knew that Katie had an impudent 1 retort trembling on her lips. I tele- graphed her an imploring glance, and she went sullenly out of the room. ] Miss Sonnot picked up the carafe of water on the table, and followed Katie out ostensibly for the purpose of refilling the water bottle. But I knew that she had gone to the kitchen to smooth the girls ruffled plumage for me, and I blessed her Eoughtfulness.
 My mother-in-law lay back in her chair and shut her eyes I saw the tears rolling down her cheeks I hurried to her side and touched her shoulder.
 "I am sure you are distressing yourself needlessly," I said, with confidence I did not feel myself. There may have been some vexa- tions delay about the baggage, or SC me colleague of pr. Braithwaite may have met him and detained him on business. There are dozen things that could have happened. I am sure they will be here very soon now"
 She did not answer but she did not repulse me, something for which I was grateful.
 As the clock inexorably ticked off the minutes I began to feel anxious myself. Surely, with an ordinary de- lay, Dicky would have telephoned. Miss Sonnot quietly brought a tiny glass of wine and some crackers to her patient, and firmly insisted that she take them. Then we all three sat idly waiting with our vague fears.
 How They Met.
 A taXicab whirred to the street en- trance below and stopped. I sprang 10 my feet and rushed to the door of the apartment. Were Dicky and | his sister on the stairs, or was there a message of disaster on it's way to me?
 In another moment I heard Dicky's | cheerful tones, and caught my first glimpse of his dreaded relatives.
 A kindly giant-this was the inn | pression I received of the celebrated | surgeon coming up the stairs behind Dicky. who had Dicky's sister on his arm. I only had time to notice that | ny sister-in-law was handsome

 Are you sure that clock is not too fast? Ask Central"
 My mother -in-law, red spot on either cheek, waited anXlously as l turned obediently to the phone, took Gown the receiver, and asked the cor rect time.
 Eleven twenty" I reported.
 "One minute slow" she exclaimed despondentlv. What can be keeping them? Are you sure they said the train was on time?" turning to Miss Sonnot
 Not only on time, but arrived, i" returned the nurse.
 Call them up again, Margaret" :" the elder Mrs. Graham commanded abruptly. '"They must have made a mistake. The train must be late. Nothing else would keep Harriet from coming straight to me unless there has been an accident"
 I turned to the telephone again, se- cured a connection with the railroad office, and was assured in no uncer- tain tones that the 1925 train which Harriet had wired Dicky to meet had been in the station an hour.
 "The train has been in an hour" made my voice as careless as pOSSib ble, but I was a trif1e worried myself ever the possibility of an accident to Dicky and the relatives he had gone to meet.
 My mother law had been dan gerously i'll. Her daughter had been unable to come to her bedside on ac- count of her own illness. Now that she had arrived in the city it did not seem possible that she would let any trivial matter keep her from her m other. Calculating all ordinary delays the travellers ought to have been in the house a half-hour.
 "Oh, Missis Graham, Vot l do to lot lunch? My stuff all be spoiled l know, and I feex 500 nice. You tlnk something terrible happen?'
 katie's vail had one happy effect, that of changing my motherin-law anxiety to anger.

woman possessing more than she liked of "too, too solid flesh" before
 they reached the top of the stairs. 'This is my wife, Harriet" Dicky announced as he reached the door. I do not suppose I shall ever get over thrilling at the note of tender pride which Dicky's voice holds when he introduces me.
 How do you do." Harriet's voice
 was friendly enough, but her smile was perfunctory, and her eyes keenly appraised me as she took the hand I held out to her in greeting. AS she dropped 1t, with @ hurried question, Where is Mother?" I felt that she had classified me, ticketed me, and carefully laid me away for future reference. Dicky's mother had be- gun our acquaintance with a violent prejudice against me, prejudice which had since softened. had strong hopes of sometime winning her love. But his sister, could see, would always preserve the same atti- tude toward me, good-natured in- difference which would never soften into affection, but on the other hand, would never harden into dislike.
 "Edwin Needs Me-"
 ''Harr1et! My mOtner-1n Jaw s | voice quavered on the word as she 1 came unsteadily forward into the | living room, Miss Sonnot lowering | discreetly in the door of the bedroom. l
 "Mother!" Mrs. Braithwaite rustled | forward and took her mother into her | arms. Dicky turned to the big man | at his side.

Tho Diver Detective.

anniversary:
III diving was as simple and easy
a thing IA the public seems to think,
tho Lusitanla and Titanic and every
other sunken ship would be raised In
no time.
"The popular idea Of diving is re-

THE divers went down together ev.

their incoming, they were paid high

chest.

they were soldering on him, so he
hired diver detective.

and found the two divers seated In
comfortable armchoirs in the wreck,
playing poker, and using the treasure
chest for card tnblc."

SOWING RAPE IN C0RNFIELD
Dwarf Essex Rape Broadcasted After
Final Cultivation Best Adapted
for Sheep Pasture.

AS q feeding proposition there is
none that gives better profits, consid-
erlng the amount of capital invested
than fattening sheep In the cornfield
where rape has been sowed at the last
cultivation of the corn. The sheep
may be bought early, and pastured or
fed earlier solling crops until the rape
Is fit for them to be turned into the
cornfield. The Dwarf Essex rape Is
the variety best adapted for sheep pas
ture. About five or six pounds of seed
will afford an excellent stand, IL sowed
broadcast after the final cultivation of
the corn crop, providing that the con-
ditions are favorable for an early ger
mination of the seed.
Practically no damage will result to
the corn crop; the sheep will con-
sumo large percentage of the lower
leaves and lodged stalks. Old breed
ing ewes that have passed their ma
ternity usefulness, can always be
bought at prices which make them
profitable to turn into rape and corn
field. Yearling wethers may be fat
tened In the same way. No grain foods
will be required. Rape alone will pro-
duce enough increase to insure n good
profit. BY growing rape with the corn
crop, and pasturing 1t with sheep, an
Intelligent flock owner may greatly
increase his income from his corn
crops.

GOLD CORD A WAR PERIL
Heavy Losses Of officers In European
War Caused by Badges Of
Rank.

Paris.-One of the earliest lessons
of the war was that Of the danger to
officers In allowing them to wear
badges of their rank, gold cord around
their coat sleeves, gold decorations
on their headgear. etc., which marked
them out to the enemy's picked shots
and resulted In unnecessary and
avoidabie losses among them. This
lesson was learned, and now 1t has be-
come so difficult at the front to iden.
tify an officer that failure to salute
is overlooked on this ground.
There seems. however, chance that
this danger is being revived by the
regulations making the wearing of
chevrons obligatory. These chevrons
are In the form Of an inverted V and
are worn on the right arm between
the elbow and shoulder to denote that
the wearer has been wounded, and on
the left to show the length of time
he has been at the front, one showing
one year of active service, two for 1S
months. They are worn In all sorts
of material and colors, officers wear
ing them in gold and silver. When
worn on leave or during convalescence
their visibility is good point, but at
the front they draw upon their wear
ers the same danger that badges Of
rank formerly did.
