Lively winter at Augusta.

The Maine legislative session is at hand,
| and 1t Is bound to be one Of the most inter-
esting in our history. The Lawmakers can
not escape dealing with several matters Of
vital importance. The good roads contest is
certain to be big one, and one in which
every tax payer in Maine is interested-a mill
| tax plan against a bond issue plan, and the
trunk line" and State-aid scheme versus
business roads over largely increased mil
cage for the benefit of the farm-to- rket
idea. Then a budget system is to be intro
duced for discussion and consideration from
every angle by the legislature. An attack
will also be made upon the primary law;
equal suffrage will have its inning, and law
enforcement measures will be introduced.
Maine families wishing to keep up with the
procession in education and topics of direct
interest to them. must follow the Legislative
proceedings of their State. In order to 60
that it is necessary to have daily record of
p-oceedir rs with explanations and interpre-
tatons by writer's familiar with all the States
affairs. 1t has come to be commonly accepted
tn roughout the State that no paper in Maine
is so well prepared in mechanical equipment
and editorial staff, to deal with any question
before the public, as the Kennebec Journal.
Advance notices of all the committee hear
ings are published in the Journal, a matter OF
great Importance to those who watching
new legislation. The Journal also publishes,
at the opening OF the session, biographical
sketches Of the members of the legislature,
accompa MED by portraits.

will be SLIPS for the session. Address: Ken

CHAPTER v.

Once more that long, winding stretch
of mountain road lay empty under the
moonlight. Up the long slope, where
three months before he had ridden to
find himself confronted with the ad-
venture of his life, John Strangewey
logged homeward in his high dogcart
The mare, scenting her stable, broke
into a quick trot as they topped the
long rise. Suddenly she felt a hand
tighten upon her reins. She looked
inquiringly around, and then stood pa
tiently awaiting her masters bidding.
1t seemed to John as if he.had passed
from the partial abstraction of the last
few hours into absolute and entire for
getfulness of the present. He could
see the motorcar drawn up by the side
of the road, could hear the fretful
voice of the maid, and the soft, pleas
ant words of greeting from the woman
who had seemed from the first as if
she were very far removed indeed
from any Of the small annoyances of
their accident.
81 have broken down. Can you help?'
He set his teeth. The poignancy of
the recollection was a torture to him.
Word by word he lived again through
that brief interview. He saw her de-
scend from the car, felt the touch of
her hand on his arm, saw the flash
of her brown eyes as she drew close to

The Essentials Of GARDENING

The essentials for successful gar.
dening on small or large scale are
SOIL water and cultivation. Much de
pends also on the grower, the season
and the crops selected.
The soil is the stOrehOuse of plant
food. The garden, therefore, should
contain humus or rotted material in
large quantities. The gardener should
remember that about 90 per cent Of
ordinary earth is not soil at all, but
consists Of air and water.
Water makes plantfood that is pres
ent freely soluble. Rain and snow
water are soft and contain ammonia.
The magic of soft water on the plant
world is one Of the miracles Of good
gardening, as everyone who has con-
trasted the effect of rain with that
produced by sprinkling with hose
realizes. Plants are succulent and
contain large amounts of water which
they have to draw from the soil.

John Strangewey is able to
stand this kind of dissatisfac-
ton with life for just so long.

LAST OF THE CARIB INDIANS
Not More Than One Hundred of Race
Which Columbus Found in West
Indies Are Still Alive.

The Carib Indian was the first repre-
sentative of LO, the poor red man, to
meet the tide Of European travel. He
was the one found by Columbus and
the later Spanish explorers in the West
Indies, and he has given the Caribbean
sea his name. Thus he is assured a
monument as long as geography shall
last, and he needs it, because as a liv-
ing race he has practically disap-
peared.
dwelt in the West Indies in 1892 is
largely matter of conjecture. They
quickly began to die out under the
hand of the cOnqueror, who worked
them as slaves and shot them when
they made war. Today it Is doubtful
whether there are 100 pure-blooded
Caribs alive, Practically all of them
live on the British isle of Dominica, on
a reservation set apart for them called
Salybia.
The reservation is very difficult of
access, for there is no sheltered har-
Dor or landing place. The only method
of approach is by one of the coasting
steamers which circle the island.
When the steamer gets opposite Sa-
Lydia with anyone who wants to land
aboard, she stops and whistles. If the
weather is good and the water smooth
enough, canoe puts out and takes the
passenger ashore. If the weather Is
too rough the passenger must needs
content himself TO go on around the
island and try again on the next round.

John made no immediate reply. The
world had turned topsyturvy with him.
Louise Maurel, and a great friend of
the prince of Seyre! He walked on
mechanically until she turned and
looked at him.
"WelI?"
81 am sorry" he declared bluntly.
"Why?" she asked, a little startled
at his candor.
81 am sorry, first of all, that you are
friend of the prince of Seyre."
"And again, why?"
because of his reputation in these
parts"
"What does that mean" she asked.
81 am not a scandalmOnger," John
replied dryly. "I speak only of what
know. His estates near here are sys-
tematically neglected. He is the worst
landlord in the country, and the most
INSCRIPTIONS. His tenants, both here
and in Westmoreland, have to work
themselves to death to provide him
with the means of living a disreputable
life."
"Are you not forgetting that the
prince of Seyre is friend of mine?"
she asked stiffiy.
81 forget nothing" he answered.
"You see, up here we have not learned
the art of evading the truth
She shrugged her shoulders.

then. And now, why your dislike of
my profession?"
'"That is another matter" he con-
fessed. "You come from world Of
which / know nothing. All can say
is that 1 would rather think of you--
as something different"
She laughed at his somber face and

zen heights to look for the flowers,

A Model Man,

Adam, the first, was man Of low
able disposition and a model husband,
so l am informed by the recorders Of
early events. Never once in the reco.
lection of his biographers did he speak
i'll of his beloved soulmate in the pres
ence of human company, and according
to those who were able to know all
his private affairs he never kicked on
her cooking nor growled at her house
work.
Whether she wore her gowns high
cut or low in the neck was q matter
Of little or no concern to him so long
as she was respectfully attired In the
fashion Of the period. And when she
got fired from the Palm Garden for
nibbling apples without someone's con-
sent Adam did not sneak off to Reno,
as husbands do today, to apply for a
divorce. No. He cast aside his over
alls, threw up his job and went out
with the little lady like little man.
That's the kind of a sparerib he was

| and the lower hills on both sides, wer,
parceled out into fields, inclosed within
stone walls, reminding her from the
height ut which they stood, of nothing
so much as the quilt upon her bed.
Her eyes swept this strange tract OF
country backward and forward She
saw the men like speclSs in the fields
the cows grazing in the pasture like
toy animals. Then she turned and
looked at the neat row Of stacks and
the square Of farm buildings.
81 am trying hard to realize that
you are farmer and that this is
your life" she said.
He swung open the wooden gate of
the churchyard, by which they were
standing. There was row of graves
on either side of the prim path.
Suppose" he suggested, 'you tell
me about yourself now-abOut your
own life"
"My life, and the world in which /
live, seem far away just nOw," she
said quietly. II think that 1t is doing
me good to have rest from them.
Talk to me about yourself, please"
He smiled. He was just little dis
appointed.
"We shall very soon reach the end
Of all that have to tell YOU" he re-
marked. "Still, if there is anything
you would like to know"
"Who were these men and women
who have lived and died here?" she
interrupted, with little wave of her
hand toward the graves.
"All our own people," he told her.
She studied the names upon the
tOmbstones, spelling them out slowly.
"The married people," he went on,
"are buried on the south side; the
single ones and children are nearer
the wall. Tell me" he asked, after a
moments hesitation, "are you married
or single?"
She gave a little start The abrupt
ness of the question, the keen, stead
fast gaze of his compelling eyes,
seemed for a moment to paralyze both
her nerves and her voice. 1t was as If
someone had suddenly drawn away one
of the stones from the foundation of
her life. She found herself repeating
the words on the tombstone facing
her:
"And of Elizabeth, for sixty-One
years the faithful wife and helpmate
of Ezra Cummings, mother of his chill
dren, and his partner in the life ever
lasting"
Her knees began to shake. There
was "A momentary darkness before her
eyes. She felt for the tombstone and
sat down.
