More than 1000 girls in Oregon
cities have been interested in light
farm work by farm help specialists
OF the department of agriculture, and
are now being placed in the fruit
districts of the state to assist in pick

cient helpers in this line of work than
men. Many of the growers are pro-
Yiding tents as quarters for the wo-
men.

Women in Uinta county, Utah eare
soing to make sugar at home. The
great interest taken in sugar beet
production for sirups by the women
OF that county had led to the plant
ing OF from rs to 100 pounds of sugar
beet seed. This is the direct result
OF the work of the county home DEM
onstration agent, who has demon
strated the use and making of the
sirup to each of the Is organizations
In the county with whom she works
The women have also made between
1000 and $500 pounds of potato
starch, averaging 25 pounds to four
bushels of potatoes. This means the

One hundred and seventy-one herds
representing $3.50 cattle were quail
fled June l, for the accredited list of
pure bred herds of cattle free from
tuberculosis which the department
of agriculture is developing to insure
disease-free sources of pure bred ami
mails. In order to have his herd ac-
credited the owner must comply with
uniform rules approved by the de-
partment and adopted by nearly all
If the states, which require that ev-
cry animal pass at least two success
fu. annual tuberculin tests. In addi-
tion to the number of herds mention
ed, more than 600 others have pass
cd one successful test in preparation
for accrediting. One of the MANY
advantages of having accredited herds
which is proving popular with the
breeders, is that the owner may make
interstate shipments of animals ac-
by a certificate at any time
within one year without subjecting
the animals to further tuberculin
tests.

subject may adore his princess. but

She drew herself up. Love" she
said. II do not call that love-"
1T is greater love than you know"
said poor Milky. But all his courage
died a moment later, and his resolution

dropped her head on her hands and,
crouching forlornly, fell to sobbing.

"And you are like the others. No one
cares how wretched I am. wish I

Then indeed Milky was lost. In an
instant he was on his knees beside
her, his arms close about her, his head
bowed against her breast. And He'd
wig relaxed to his embrace. When at
last he turned and looked up at her,
1t was Hedwig who bent and kissed
him.
"At least" she whispered, 1--WE have
had this. We can always remember,
whatever comes, that we have had

But Milky was Of very human stuff,
and not the sort that may live by
memories. He was very haggard
when he rose to his feet-haggard, and
his mouth was doggedly set. II will

Brave words, of course. But as he
said them he realized their futtlity.

CHAPTER XII.
Milky Makes a Promise.

The chancellor lived alone, In his
little house near the palace, house
that looked strangely like him, over
hanging eyebrows and all, with win
dows that were like his eyes, clear
and cOncealing many secrets. A grim.
gray little old house, which concealed
behind it q walled garden full Of I'M
expected charm. And that, too, was
like the chancellor.
Mathilde kept his house for him,
mended and pressed his uniforms,
washed and starched his linen,
quarreled with the orderly who at
tended him, and drove him to bed at
night.
Mathilde was in touch with the peo-
pie. It was Mathilde, and not one Of
his agents, who had brought word Of
the approaching revolt of the copper
smiths guild, and enabled him to check
it almost before it began. A stole, this
Mathilde, with her tall, spare figure
and glowing eyes, stole and patriot.
Once every month she burned four
candles before the shrine of Our Lady
of Sorrows in the cathedral, because
Of four sons she had given to her coun-
try.
On the evening of the day Hedwig
had made her futile appeal to the king,
the chancellor sat alone. His dinner,
almost untasted, lay at his elbow. 1t
was nine o'clock. At something after
seven he had paid his evening visit to
the king, and had found him uneasy
and restless.
"Slt down." the king had said. Il
need steadying, old friend"
"Steadying, sire?'

Rather a stormy one, poor child" He
turned and fixed on his chancellor his
faded eyes. "You still think it is the
best thing?'

but gathered that there was some one
else. The whole interview was cy-

head"
Mettlich's face hardened, a gradual
process, as the news penetrated in all
its significance.

loyal. And in all Of this, you and l are
reckoning without Karl. The princess
hardly knows him, and naturally she
is terrified. But his approaching visit
will make many changes. He is fine
figure of a man, and women"
Exactly" said the king dryly.
What the chancellor meant was that
women always had loved Karl, and the
king understood.

proud and scornful. But she was not
easy, for all that, and she watched
from her balcony to see If any messen-
ger left the castle and descended the
mountain road. She was rewarded, an
hour later, by seeing a figure leave the
old gateway and start afoot toward the
village, a pale faced man with color
less hair. A part of the hidden guard
that surrounded her, she knew, and
somehow familiar. But. although she
rucked her brains, She could not re-
member where She had seen him.
