THE HERO PART
BY Florence 1. Henderson
50 = = =
A naughty, statuesque girl met
Lane GriscOm at the door of the Bev-
eTIy home on the occasion of the first
visit to that dOmicile.
Miss BeveTly?" he inquired re-
specially.
Yes, what is your business?"
came incisive as the challenge of
some official censor.
Il wish to see Mr.. Beverly. have
important business with him"
My father is not in a condition to
receive visitors" The same iRfleXibil-
lips.
Pardon me, but I am Lane Girls
com and l have come"
Miss Marcia Beverly drew herself
up haughtily. A bitter expression
crossed her face. Young GrisCOm
felt its contemptuous reproach.
Yes, " she spoke between set, cold
lips, you had, perhaps, better see
him. l hope it is to restore to him
the money of which your father
robbed him"
Lane Griscom turned pale. He
tTembled, but faced the cruel, IN
just charge without a culver.
Madam" he said iciIy, my father
is dead. Spare his memory. He was
a just, honest man. That is why I
am here to make reparation, if it is
in my power"
She led him into the house, paused
at a closed door, stood aside, mo-
toned that he might enter, her lips
curved in fine sCOTn.
This had happened: John Beverly
had been stricken down in his prime, !
a helpless invalid on the eve of his |
failure in business. All was swept |
away from him except his home, |

$4,000 borrowed money, due to the
unfortunate John Beverly.
Now the son entered the room in
which John Beverly sat in an inva-
lids chair. Wan despair was in the
aged face, but his eye lit up with a
glad, sudden light.

HOW TO SELECT SEED WHEAT

Why not unite upon MARQUIS, and cut
put the others? Blue Stem and Fife are
very good but it is better to grow the same
kind and get a better price.
Screen your seed and fan out all trash,
immature kernels, weed seeds, wild oats,
etc., leaving the seed to be planted the
heaviest you have, with an equal amount
of plant food in each kernel, which will
cause it to mature at the same time, max
ing less waste at harvest. 1t all ought to
get ripe at the same time.
Examine your seed closely to see whether
it contains bunt or sinking smut and treat
your seed with formaldehyde before sowing.
How much of your seed will grow? 1t is
easy to test it. Take an ordinary piece Of
blotting paper, wet it, fold it over in the
middle, to open like a book, count 100 seeds
Just as they run into the blotting paper, put
a strip of rag about ten inches long in the
fold OF the blotter, wrap it up in a piece of
butter paper CREASED paper), wet the whole
thing, then hang the wick in a glass of
water like a lamp, put the test on top of the
glass, do not let it dry out or freeze. After
six or seven days, open it and count SO
many kernels strong, so many weak, 80

MARQUIS w

Is the variety which has the best
milling qualities and makes more
and better -four, therefore brings
the highest price to the farmers.
The elevators and mills will pay you
more because the wheat is worth
more. AS a rule, unless we have
just such a year as last year, MAR
QUIS brings better results because:
1t natures from five to ten days
earlier than other wheat, avoiding
so much danger from winds and
drouth. We may never have an

Being earlier, Marquis escapes rust,
which attacks later varieties.
1t does not shell out and waste so
badly as Blue Stem, Red Fife, or
Velvet Chaff, during harvest. This
is true of it even when over-ripe.
The straw is shorter and sitter,
hence in a dry year it suffers less
from drouth and in a wet year it
suffers less from. lodging.
1t contains lots of gluten and the
gluten is much superior to that of
any other wheat, therefore is a bet
ter milling wheat.

A LIVELY YOUNG MAN

Notwithstanding all reports to the contrary, Kerensky still appears to he very much in evidence - as Korniloff has discovered to his sorrow - and continues to rule Russia with an iron hand. Instead of permitting his enc. mics to celebrate his funeral, he has afforded his friends an opportunity to rejoice over his marriage. All Of which goes to show that he is still of sound sanity and that his superior nerve has not been shattered par ticle.
 Kerensky is a unique individual. He has the habit of counfounding his enc mics in the most casual and common place manner. To stamp out seri- ous revolution, proclaim a republic over 175,00O,OO0 souls, and take unto himself a wife all in the short space of one week - is incontrovert- ible evidence that he is still on the job and going strong.
