the death of Mrs. H. D. Jones from
a Chatham, N. Y. paper: -. -.
"The many friends hereabouts were

kept both mind and hands busy with
reading, sewing and some knitting.

Freelove Kirby and resided there IN
til her marriage in 1863 when she
came to East Chatham where she
and her husband, DR.. Jones, who
passed away less than one year ago,
spent nearly thirty years of their
lives, and where in her quiet way
with good deeds, kind acts and loyal
ness to all won and retained all
friends who were fortunate to meet
her. A most consistent worker in
the Methodist church where her
gifted mind and generous hand was
ever ready to assist in all good
works. The sick room also felt the
cooling hand and having good
knowledge of medicine relief often
times came quickly. They spent the
latter part of their lives in Duluth,
Minn., and vicinity returning to East
Chatham for occasional visits among
the friends who were still left. Dur

Lucy Kirby and resided here among

WINTER RYE

Farmers are considering the
sowing of winter rye and have not
yet secured the necessary seed, may
be interested to learn that State
Central Experiment Station is offer:
ing Minnesota No. 2 Rye at $3.50
per bushel, f. o. b. St. Paul, sacks IS
cents extra. Remittance must ac-
company orders. This variety of rye
has been developed at the Station
and has been found the best yield
ing of all varieties tested.
On ten year average in Minneso-
ia rye has been found to yield about
25 per cent more than wheat on soils
of the lighter and poorer types. 1t
has also the advantage that it can
be pastured in spring and crop Of
grain secured later. Those having
the land prepared 50 that seeding
may be done during the first part
of September might we'll consider
the sowing of a small acreage with
this grain, with the advantage of
having early pasture and less grain
seeding to be done next spring. If
interested, see the county agricult-
ural agent or order direct.

Il am not by nature fitted to lead
the hermit existence" she returned
sarcastically.
And even while her lips were utter
ing these various unworthy little Bit
ternesses she inwardly wondered at
her own words. 1t was not what she
would have said, not at all what she
was half minded to say. But devil
of perverseness spurred her. She was
full of protest against everything.

He rose and walked to the door.

saw him lift a finger to halt a pass

1t seemed incredible that he should
go like that. Surely he would come
back at noon or at dinner time. She
had always felt that under his gentle
ness there was iron. But deep in her
heart she had never believed him so
implacable of purpose where she was
concerned.
She waited YEARLY, stirring with

CHAPTER XVII.
A Letter From Bill.

All through the long night she lay
awake, struggling with the incredible
fact that Bill had left her; trying to
absolve herself from blame; f1aring up
In anger at his unyielding attitude,
even while she was sorely conscious
that she herself had been stubbornly
unyielding. If he had truly loved her,
she reiterated, he would never have
made it an issue between them. But
that was like a man-to insist on his
own desires being made paramount;
to blunder on headlong, no matter
what antagonisms he aroused. And
he was completely in the wrong, she
reasSerted.
She recapitulated 1t all. Through
the winter he had consistently with
drawn into his shell. For her friends
and for most of her pleasures he had
at best exhibited only tolerance. And
he had ended by outraging both them
and her, and on top of that demanded
that she turn her back at twenty-four
hours notice, on Granville and all it's
associations and follow him into a will
derness that she dreaded. She had
full right to her resentment. AS his
partner in the CLANCY enterprise of
marriage were not her feelings and de-
sires entitled to equal consideration
He had assumed the role of dictator.
And she had revolted. That was all
She was justified.
Eventually she slept. At ten o'clock
heavy-eyed, suffering an intolerable
headache. she rose and dressed.
Beside her plate lay a thick letter
addressed in Bills handwriting. She
drank her coffee and went back to the
Connecticut western news., 1918-03-28

bedroom before she opened the en-
velope. By the postmark she saw.
that it had been mailed on train.
Dear Girl: l have caught my
breath, so to speak, but doubt If ever
a more forlorn cuss listened to the
lnterminable clicking of car wheels.

Don't Blame the Child

Don't scold your children for lack of
control over the kidney secretions. 1t
is not always the children's fault---in
many cases it means weak kidneys and
can be readily righted. Read this Roa-
coke Rapids mothers advice.
Mrs. M. A. Bowen, says: my boy
was pretty bad off some years ago with
weak kidneys. He didn't seem to have
any control over these organs, what
ever. This caused me a whole lot of
annoyance and he didn't look well; hs
had that sallow look. He always SEEM
ed tired and irritable. The different
remedies he took seemed to do no good
and finally l began giving him Doan's
Kidney Pills. Doan's entirely cured
him and he hasn't been bothered since.
