ing, for which she had a considerable
talent and liking. Her father was anx-
iously looking forward to the time
when she would again be home with
him. Marriage for his daughter was
something he had not yet considered;
or, if it did fit into his mind, it meant
her settling down near his home and
within easy reach.
The conference with Higgins result
ed in Dakin asking him if he would go
with him and take a look at a large
tract of land which had been represent
ed to him as especially adapted to
peach growing, and which he intended
to buy for that purpose. Higgins went
with him and. after careful examina-
ton, convinced him that it was neither
the right soil nor location for peach
raising, and Dakin did not purchase.
The owner, who had hoped to sell, an
grily denounced Higgins as a graft
err" with something else 10 sell, but
as no proposition was made TO Dakin
he was more than ever convinced of the
honesty and integrity of Jacob Hig-
gins.
He promised Higgins he would look
him up the next time he went East, as
he wanted very much to see his peach
orchard. Sue always spent the holi-
days with her father. and this time she
seemed in particularly happy, though
occasionally distracted frame of mind.
Finally it came to the knowledge of
Papa Dakin that something had hap
pened of which he had not been in
formed. The suspicion was something
of a shock, but he determined to know
the worst, and set himself TO find out.
Yes, it was true-Sue was in love.
He is wonderful" said Sue. II know
you'll like him.
II don't know about that" demurred
Dakin. They're all wonderful be-
forehand."

cent, but the quip did not defect her

Teaching the Family.

A little five-year-old boy was visiting
with his mother in the south of the
province of Saskatchewan, and. at the
first meal in the strange house, the
little chap sat silent with his plate I'M
touched after the others had COM
menced their dinner. The blessing
had been forgotten, and, when atten-
ton was drawn to the fact, he was
asked TO say it. After that it seemed
to be expected of him at each meal,
and he accordingly went on with it.
On the last day of the visit, at the
very last meal, he sat. silent again IN
til his host remarked, "Are you not
going to say grace for US today| To
which he replied, resignedly, "Oh, yes,
l will, but I thought I'd taught it to
you by this time !'-Saskatoon Star.

Jacob Higgins
and Peaches
By Hi Akers

Copyright. 1917, by W. G. ChapmanS
Matthew Dakin came out of the Ag-
f!cultural college considerably inn
pressed with the practical knowledge
and sound sense of Jacob Higgins lee
ture on peach growing. AS rule, Mr..
Dakin did not attend lectures. They
generally bored him; also theoretical
farming was TO him of little account.
It will be inferred that Matthew Dakin
had vet, in spite of his fifty-five years,
much to learn; but SO has anyone who
allows himself TO become prejudiced
and TO run in nice, smoothly worn ruts.
He had inherited a comfortable for
tune, mostly in real estate in a large
western city, and the care and manage
ment of it had kept him busy: but for
the past ten years he had given more
and more time to the culture OF his
garden and orchard belonging to his
pretty country home few miles from
the city. The work became so alluring
that he had decided to go into fruit
raising on large scale. For this rea-
son he sought all the information on
the subject he could find, and having
been told that Jacob Higgins was a
great authority on peach culture. he
went to the lecture. Before he came
out he had arranged with Higgins for
private conference concerning his
venture.
Dakin's other great interest in life
was his daughter, Sue. She was all he
had. Her mother had died some ten
years before aud Sue, having been
