boudour cap.
There was something pathetic in
| the way she lay there, looking older
!, than Helen had ever seen her. She
stirred uneasily, as II conscious Of the
appraising gaze.
With guilty feeling OF having
stolen her secret and dread OF her
awakening, Helen slipped out OF bed.
Softly she tiptoed into her own
room where Warren was asleep on
| the narrow couch, under the buzzing
| fan.
"Eh?" Yawningly he turned at she
crept in beside him.
"Sh-sh, dear"
What the devil? This things too

Yes, / can. Sh-sh. it's only five

As Warren dozed off again, she
nestled closer, drawing up the covers
as the fan breezed over her.
She would never let Carrie know
| that she knew! But vaguely she felt
that one of the ranking thorns of
her married life had been removed.
Carries superior, critical arrogance
could never irritate her as it had
There is nothing more subtle and
complex than the dominance of one
woman over another. There was no
logical reason why Carries ascen-
dency should suffer because she wore
a switch and looked old and unlovely
when she slept. But women are not
| logical.
Helen only knew that she would
never again stand in quite the same

a revelation that glimpse of her in
bed, in that pitiless morning light

at the door
See here. Carrie, you can't lay on

That's all right. There's good

Carrie made faint protest, but
Warren was insistent. Helen said

Yes, this Is better" sighed Carrie
You get little breeze here"
Helen did not answer. It was like
Carrie to secure her own comfort at
the inconvenience OF others. In some
ways she was utterly selfish.
II was dawn when Helen awoke
from restless, troubled doing. With
a chill shock she saw the unfamiliar
figure beside her.
Carrie was lying on her back. her
mouth slightly open. How strange
she looked-how different from the
dressed-up, naughty, arrogant Carrie
In that gray light she looked homely
and old.
Her hair! Helen caught her breath
Always she had envied Carries thick
lustrous braid. Now the cap had
slipped, exposing only a short, thin
wisp.
Still dazed, Helen raised herself on
her elbow and stared down at that

be were the dam to break, but as they
looked at its massive sides they smil-
ed at the idea of such thing.
Down among the small stores along
the waters edge lived Danny Dickin-
son. His father kept a small shop and
was helped by Danny, who was lame.
After supper every night Danny would
get out his book and study late, and
even after he went to bed he would
dream of his great wish-to be civil
engineer and build dams and railroads.
But when he looked around at the un-
tidy shop, he sighed at how impossible
such dream was OF realization.
Danny was fond of wandering about
corners to find out just how it was
built
One night he heard that big strike
was on in the mills, which we're run
by the dam water. Crowds of angry
men walked the streets. and in the
store he caught few words Of two
strikers conversation.

work.
Il suppose they would stop anyone
crossing here if they are really dyna-
hitting the DAM" said Danny, so he
got down on his hands and knees and
crawled over the stone path of the
dam In about ten minutes he found
himself on the other side and we'll hid

That's all right" returned the
other man. My charge is small and
will only clear away some of the rocks

Lighting the fuses both men then
ran as fast as their feet could carry
them toward the town. Danny was
paralyzed with horror--in a few min
utes the dam would be blown up and
the whole town destroyed by the
mighty flood which would sweep
everything to destruction, He must
act before too late. The fuse must be
put out.

he saw he was too late-the fire had
reached the dynamite.
There was boom on the air, some
rocks and water shot up into the air,
a bo, ish figure was hurled forty feet
away and fell unconscious. Then UP
from the town came running an excit.
ed procession of men, women and
children. They lifted Dan and bore
him back home. A doctor soon had
him sitting up and he told the. story
of the attempt to blow up the dam.

Making the Little
Farm Pay
By G. G. BowsFlELD


City men by scores are taking farms,
being convinced that under modern
conditions agriculture is one OF the
best paying vocations. Many who wish
to become farmers, including persons
without experience and hired men who
are capable of managing a place, may
not have the capital to buy land. In
such cases renting affords an oppor-
tunity to make successful start. Buy
ing outright is the better plan, how.
ever, even II the start has to be made
with q place Of five or ten acres.
Either cash renting or the system OF
sharing profits may prove satisfactory.
Investigation shows that fifty-eight
cash tenants In Indiana, Illinois and
Iowa made an annual labor income OF
$99e. while 1893 share tenants made
only $685.. or $163 less than the cash
men. In the dry summer Of 1910 these
figures were just reversed. The dry
season compelled cash renters to stand
the burden of all the loss. while the
share tenant was helped out by his
landlord. That season twenty-seven
cash tenants received $3.50 against $727
average income for tenants who were
sharing.
For a large number of farms and
over a long period of years the cash
man seems to come out ahead. He has
the greatest risk, the largest invest.
ment and the highest income. A large
number Of tenant farms netted their
operators incomes as follows: Cash
rental. $1,704; partnership, $1,291;
share cash, $1,110. A capital Of $1,000
