WINTER REPAIR WORK
Plan to Overhaul All Buildings
and Farm Equipment.
Exercise of Little Thought at This Sea-
son VIII often Save Much Time
Later on When Outdoor Work
Is Impossible.

SO long as good weather continues
In the fall most farmers are so busy
with threshing, corn and potato har-
vest, fall seeding, hauling, etc, that
less important work is usually post
poned until winter. However, the ex-
ercise of little thought and the ex-
penditure of a very few minutes at
this season will often save not only
hours but days later on, when the
weather and roads get bad and out
door work is impossible.
Then the odd jobs of overhauling
the farm equipment, repairing, paint
ing, ETC., which have been put off
until O slack season, will require at
tention; but all too often the neces-
sary materials will not be on hand,
and the work will be delayed until it
is possible to make trip to town,
and not infrequently 1t remains I'M
done until the busy season the follow
ing year, when necessity demands 1t.
A list should be made of the things
that will be wanted for this work. 1t
will only take a few minutes to jot
them down as they are brought to.
mind, and then on the next trip to
town they may be bought and set
aside so they will be ready when want
ed. The condition of the different ma
chimes which will, or should be, over
hauled, should be noted, and the parts
which will need to be replaced pur-
chased. Then there are the odd jobs
| Of htf
ETC., which will require lumber and
nails. There is no need to make an
extra trip for them when wanted (;
they may be brought home the next
time a load is taken to town. Like
wise the lumber and hardware for
the small jobs of construction which
should be done before spring. Also
the paints, oils, putty, and brushes
which will be required in painting the
various farm wagons, implements,
inside woodwork, furniture ETC., and,
above all, the necessary materials for
the improvements planned for the
house should be obtained so that they
can be completed this winter and not
have to wait another year.
Everyone knows how much more
satisfactory it is to have the necessary
equipment ready to perform a piece OF
work when an opportunity presents
than to get started on 1t and then fine
that it will have to be postponed until

Sunset in the Forest.

The sun was setting upon one of the
rich grassy glades of the forest. :.
Hundreds of broad-headed, short
stemmed, wide-branched oaks, which
had witnessed perhaps the stately
march of the Roman soldiery, flung
their gnarled arms over a thick carpet
of the most delicious greensward; in
some places they were intermingled
with beeches, hollies and copsewood of
various descriptions, so closely as to-
tally to intercept the level beams of
the sinking sun in others they receded
from each other, forming those long
sweeping vistas, in the intricacy of
which the eye delights to lose itself,
while Imagination considers them as
the paths to yet wilder scenes of syl-
van solitude. Here the red rays of the
sun shot broken and discolored light,
that partially hung upon the shattered
boughs and messy trunks of the trees,
and there they Illuminated In brilliant
patches the portions Of turf to which
they made their way.-Sir Walter

spent hours on the books, and he
seemed to regard the presidents act
as a reflection on him.
Denton was wondering what to do.
His idea had been that, when discov-
cry became inevitable, he would go to
Florida and leave Mrs. Denton to seek
a divorce. OF course, she would di-
vorce him. She was that type of
woman. He had long since been dis
illusioned about their happiness, or
the possibility Of it.
When he got home a letter from
England was lying on his table. He
opened it, wondering a little who his
correspondent might be. Denton had
left England in youth, had been kicked
out, he was wont to say, as a ne'er-do-
well, and he had long since severed
all connections with his family.
He read the letter and looked at the
Enclosure that fluttered to the table.
He reeled back against the wall, gasp
ing. Fate had dealt him a sorry
stroke. For it was a draft for $10,-
600, which his uncle had left him.
And $4,000 would more than cover
his detalcations.
With thirty thousand he could real
lie his aim of retiring from work and
starting that Florida plantation of
which he had dreamed.
He had just time to hide the letter
when his wife came in.

SHEER LUCK
@&O
By FRANK FILSON


Copyright. 1916. by w. G. Chapman.)
In the train on his way back to the
suburb in which he lived Harold Den
ton reflected bitterly that all his
troubles had arisen from sentence
spoken by his wife.
Il don't see why you can't make
money as easily as other men,"
That had been two years before,
when Denton was a bank clerk on a
salary of $35. Today he was still a
bank clerk, on a salary Of $3.50. But
he was accounted one of the leading
citizens of the town.
Mrs. Denton had given out, as, in
deed, her husband had told her, that
Harold held q very responsible posi-
ton in the city bank. He lived on a
scale of about $125 weekly. And he
actually spent $125 weekly, for he
had been defrauding the bank syste-
matically for 10 months.
His wife knew nothing, of course.
She thought the manager had recog-
nized her husbands solid worth. She
thought their automobile came out of
his salary, and her clothes, and the
three maids, and the bountiful sable,
the club subscription, and all the rest
of the tout ensemble which had con-
tributed to her happiness. And Har-
old Denton reflected bitterly that he
had no more than before he began his
criminal career.
Things had been approaching a eli
max of late, Suspicion had been
aroused, and an expert auditor was
to begin going through the books on
the morrow. Steel, the manager, was
like a thunderstorm all day. The
president had called in the accountant
against his judgment; he himself had

THAT very morning a great many
of the Frogs and Turtles came to do

and Bugs of all sorts for Sale, and
they were arranged very nicely on bits
of Messy Stumps and Rocks.

Let it be soon," she answered pite-

Let it be soon," she answered pite-
ously.
On the next day he took the train
with his scheme fully matured. He
would make clean breast of the
matter to Steel, offering to make good
If the bank would abstain from prose-
cutting him. And he would take his
thirty thousand and get out of it all,
with his wife, to Florida.
But would Steel and the president
consent? They were hard men, and
he would have to play his cards wari-
ly. He pondered over the perplexing
situation in the train, and he had
not quite decided when he reached
the bank.
He noticed an atmosphere of sub
dued excitement as he went to put on
his Office coat. Men were whispering
and looking furtively toward him.
But Harold had shut himself off from
the friendship of men, as every man
must when he devotes himself to the
violation of moral laws, and nobody
came forward to speak to him.
He was just entering the cage when
the managers boy came up. "The
president wants to see you in his pri-
vate room, Mr.. Denton" he said.
Harold Denton mechanically changed
his coat again. The crisis was upon
him, and he had not yet made up his
mind. And he was conscious only Of
a wild impulse to fly.
He went out of the cage and into
the corridor. The Waterman was
looking at him. On his right lay the
presidents room, ahead of him only
the Waterman and the glass door, and
then the street, with the cars rumbling
down in a blaze of sunshine. If he
chose to make a bolt he could prob
ably get away. Then he suddenly re-
pocket and uncashed. If he ran away
he would run away penniless.
For just an instant he hesitated,
and then, squaring his shoulders, he
entered the presidents room.
81 know why you have sent for me,
Mr.. Sawyer" he began.
The president, who was at his desk
alone, looked up at him. He bore
traces of a severe struggle. "a terri
BILE thingl" he said. "a terrible thing
Mr.. Denton"
"a commonplace of our business
sneered Harold.
The president thumped his fist upon
the table, mo, SIR" he said. "a
very infrequent thing. And to think
it should have been Steell 1 trusted
him implicitly"
"Steel?" gasped Harold.
"You haven't heard? Steel commit
ted suicide this morning, after writing
