ever as the Earl of Rochester,; he
wanted to get back to the states and
just be himself, and he intended so
to do, having scraped little money
just as it had done in Charing Cross
station, and it had lost it's monstrous
appearance and had become humor
Gus, a highly dangerous appearance
for a dangerous idea to take.
Jones was a great walker, exercise
always cleared hts mind and strength
ened his judgment. He set off on a
long walk now, passing the National
Gallery to Regent Circus, then up
Regent street and Oxford street, and
along oxford street toward the west.
He found himself in High Street Ken
sington, in Hammersmith, and then
in those dismal regions where the
country struggles with the town.
Oh, those suburbs of London! With
in easy reach of the city! Those
battalions of brick houses, bits of
corpses of what once We're fields;
those villas. laundrieS-
The contrast between this place and
Pail Mall came as sudden revela-
tion to Jones, the contrast between
the power, ease. affiuence and splen-
dor Of the surroundings of the Earl
of Rochester and the surroundings
of the bank clerks and small people
who dwelt here.
The viewpoint is everything. From
here Carlton House Terrace seemed
almost pleasing.
Jones. like good democrat. had all
his life professed contempt for rank.
Titles had seemed as absurd to him
as feathers in monkeys cap. 1t
was here in ultra Hammersmith that
hebegan to review this question from
a more British standpoint.
Tell it not meath he was beginning
to feel the vaguest antipathetic stir
ring against little houses and ultra
people.
He turned and began to retrace his
steps. 1t was Z O'Clock when he
reached the door of 1OA, Carlton
House Terrace.

arrived by the midday post, also with
a piece Of information.
Mr.. Voles called to see you, my
lord, shortly after ~. He stated that

He is to call again at quarter past

Jones took the letter and went with
1T to the room where he had sat that
morning. Upon the table lay all the
letters that he had not opened that
morning. He had forgotten these,
Here was a mistake. If he wished to
hold to his position for even a few
days it would be necessary to guard
against mistakes like this.
He hurriedly opened them, merely
glancing at the contents, which for

Ria Demand for Seed Corn.

There has never been a season when ehe shortage of good seed corn was so acute. In many states there is little corn. of the 1917 crop fit for seed. Coupled with this, the fact that a large acreage will be planted next season, makes the situation very serious
 In Connecticut, we were fortunate in harvesting fairly satisfactory crop. Of the strains that are recommended by the experiment stations, there is a very limited supply. It is strongly urged that those. who expect to buy seed corn for next springs planting get it at once. Delay means that good local seed corn will be bought up and shipped to Wisconsin, Minnesota and the Dakotas, leaving inferior seed in Connecticut. .--
