CHAPTER Nv.

The churchyard gate was opened
and closed noisily. They both glanced
up. Stephen Strangewey was coming
slowly toward them along the flinty
path. Louise, suddenly herself again.
rose briskly to her feet. Stephen had
apparently lost none of his dourness
of the previous night. AS he looked
toward Louise, there was no mistaking
the slow dislike in his steely eyes.
"Your chauffeur, madam, has just
returned" he announced. "He sent
word that he will be ready to start at
one o'clock"
Louise, inspired to battle by the al
most provocative hostility of her elder
host, smiled sweetly upon him.
"You can't imagine how sorry am
to hear it," she said. II don't know
when, in the whole course of my life,
I have met with such a delightful adj
venture or spent such a perfect morn

Stephen looked at her with level, dis
approving eyes-at her slender form In
its perfectly fitting tailored gown; at
her patent shoes, so obviously insult
able for her surroundings, and at the
faint vision of silk stockings.

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 adj
venture of his life, John Strangewey
logged homeward in his high dogcart.
The mare, seeming 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-

| how lower and nearer; or was she, per
haps, higher up?
She fingered there, absolutely Devil
dered by the rapid growth in her brair
and senses of what surely must be
some newly kindled faculty of appre
citation. There was a beauty in the
world which she had not felt before.
She turned her head almost Iazily al
the sound of mans voice. A team OF
horses, straining at a pillow, were com.
ing round the bend of the field, and by
their side, talking to the laborer who
guided them, was John Strangewey.
She watched him as he came into
sight up the steep rise. He walked in
step with the plowman by his side, but
without any of the laborer's mechani-
cal plod-with a spring in his foot
steps, indeed, pointing with his stick
along the furrow, so absorbed in the
instructions he was giving that he was
almost opposite the gate before he was
aware of her presence. He promptly
abandoned his task and approached her.
"Good morning! You have slept
well?" he called out.
Better, I think, than ever before in
my life," she answered. Differently,
He looked at her, little puzzled. The
glow upon her face and the sunlight
upon her brown hair kept him silent.
He was content to look at her and Won
der.
"Tell me-" she demanded impetu-
land that you have found? Does the
sun always shine like this? Does the
earth always smell as sweetly, and are
your trees always in blossom? Does
your wind always taste as if God had
breathed the elixir of life into it?"
He turned around to follow the
sweep of her eyes. Something of the
same glow seemed to rest for a mo-
ment upon his face.
"It is good" he said, "to find what
you love so much appreciated by some
one else"
They stood together in a silence al
most curiously protracted. Then the
plowman passed again with his team
of horses and John called out some in
structions to him. She followed him
down to earth.
"Tell me, Mr.. Strangewey," she in
quired, 'where are your farm build
ings?"
"Come and I will show you," he an
swered, opening the gate to let her
through. Keep close to the hedge I'M
til we come to the end of the plow;
and then-but no, L won't anticipate.
This way"
They reached the end Of the plowed
field and, passing through a gate,
turned abruptly to the left and began
to climb narrow path which bordered
the boundary wall, and which became
sleeper every moment. AS they as

scend from the car, felt the touch of
of her brown eyes as she drew close to
him with that pleasant little air of IA
miliarity, shared by no other woman
he had ever known.
Then the little scene faded away, and
he remembered the tedious present.
He had spent two dull days at the
house of a neighboring land owner,
playing cricket in the daytime, dancing
at night with women in whom he was
unable to feel the slightest interest,
| always with that faraway feeling in
his heart, struggling hour by hour with
| that curious restlessness which seemed
to have taken permanent place in
| his disposition. He was on his way
home to Peak Hall. He knew exactly
the welcome which was awaiting him.
He knew exactly the news he would
receive. He raised his whip and
cracked it viciously in the air.
Stephen was waiting for him, as ne
had expected, in the dining room. The
elder Strangewey was seated in his ac-
reading the paper. The table was laid
for a meal, which Jennings was pre-
pairing to serve.
"Back again, John?" his brother re-
marked, looking at him fxedly over
his newspaper.
John picked up one or two letters,
glanced them over, and flung them
down upon the table. He had exam
ined every envelope for the last few
months with the same expectancy, and
thrown each one down with the same
throb of disappointment.
GAS you see."
! 'Had good timer"
'Not very. Have they finished the
barley fields, Stephen?"
"All in at eight o'clock"
There was brief silence. Then
Stephen knocked the ashes from his
pipe and rose to his feet.
"John," he asked, "why did you pull
up on the road there?"
There was no immediate answer.
The slightest of frowns formed itself
upon the younger mans face.
"How did you know that / pulled

cended, the orchard and the long, low
house on the other side seemed to lie
almost at their feet. The road and the
open moorland beyond, stretching to
the encircling hills, came more clearly
into sight with every backward glance.
Louise paused at last, GREATNESS.

are taking me tor" she asked. IF you
have discovered that, no wonder you
find us ordinary women outside your
livesl"
He laughed.
"There are no fairies where we are
going" he assured her.
They were on roughly made road
now, which turned abruptly to the

BIG PROFIT ON A FARM

Occasionally man makes re-
markable success on a farm just the
same as in other lines of business.
The fact that so many fail is due to
many causes but chiefly TO the fact
that farmers get into a rut and do
not put enough headwork and plan
ming into their business.
This year is it absolutely sure that
next fall and winter the price of feed
will be so high that the average farm
err simply cannot buy ii and many OF
them will have to sell their cows just
when the price of milk and butter is
certain to be higher than ever before,
They can protect themselves only
by raising their own grain this year.
Corn, oats, wheat, barley buckwheat
and clover can be grown on almost
any land in this section and, unless
The Banner is. mistaken, they Will
prove more valuable crops next fan
than potatoes and beans for the Fea-
son that corn and beans will be grown
in such large quantities in garden
plots by city and village people.
The Barton Minitor last week tells
of farmer in this state who has sue
ceeded in raising most of his grain
supply. The Monitor tells the story
as follows:
The editorial in last weeks Monitor
pointing out the fact that the farmers
OF Orleans county purchased more
feed per farm and per COW than the
farmers of the rest of the state has
brought forth much comment The
further statement that one farmer in
the county raised practically all his
feed, except cotton seed, inspired
