graduated from an Eastern college,
was now in Chicago studying illustrat-
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 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 graft
err" with something else to sell, but
as no proposition was made to Dalin
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 holt
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 shock, but he determined to know
the worst, and set himself to find out.
Yes, it was true-Sue was in love.

"The Biz Wind"

"The big wind" is a name given in
Ireland to a terrible windstorm which
began on the night of January @,
1889. In Limerick, Galway and Ath-
lone hundreds of houses were burned
by the wind spreading the fires Of
those blown down. Dublin suffered Sc
verely. No Irishman knows this storm
by any other name than "the big
wind" "The night of the big wind"
forms an era; things date from it /;
such and such thing happened "be-
fore the big wind, when l was boy !"
or 1t happened "a twelvemonth after
the big wind, when your Uncle Dennis
was but lad" The use Of the name
seems a sort of survival of oral ira
dltions as opposed to written history,

One Nurse to Ten Patients.

One nurse to every 200 soldiers is
the requirement in modern conflict, as
the war in Europe has demonstrated.
The proportion of sick and wounded to
the entire army is about per cent.
That is, if we throw 100000 soldiers
against an enemy, at least $4,000 of
them will be in the hospitals contin-
sually. In war hospital the average
proportion of patients to nurses is ten

Jacob Higgins

By Hi Akers

Copyright. 1917, by w. G.. Chapman
Matthew Dakin came out of the Ag-
ricultural college considerably i'm
pressed with the practical knowledge
and sound sense of Jacob Higgins lee
ture on peach growing. AS a rule, Mr..
Dakin did not attend lectures. They
generally bored him; also theoretical
farming was to him of little account.
1t will be inferred that Matthew Dakin
had yet, in spite of his tifty-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
a 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 Gnd Sue, having been
