to US concerning the Income Tax, as
the blanks and instructions are not

will be ample time. Start now tho,
by getting Farm Account Books from
your bank or this Office, and fill out
the inventory and other columns az
far as you can. This will lessen ths
job Of filling out the Tax blanks, con-
siderably.

SEED FOR 1919

A big crop is nesded this year for
supplying the worlds needs. The
first important thing is to have good
seed. A Seed Stocks Committee has
been organized at the North Dakota
Agricultural College to find out
where good seed can be secured, and
to make up lists SO that \the farmer
who needs to buy seed will know
where he can secure the best. Any
one having seed for sale, should no
tify the County Agent, H. o. Sauer.
at Linton, the Seed Stocks Commit
tee or the Pure Seed Laboratory at
the Agricultural College. A sample
of the seed (1-2 pound) for inspection
and test should also be sent. A big
service was rendered in this way last
year.

for the mail he brought Amos Grim shaw to visit me. He was four years older than Ia freckled, red-haired boy with large mouth and thin lips. He wore a silver watch and chain, which strongly recommended him in my view and enabled me to endure his air of condescension.
 He let me feel it and look 1t all over and I slyly touched the chain ! with my tongue just to see If it had any taste to it, and Amos told me that his father had given it to him and that it always kept him "kind O Scairt."
 "Why?"
 "For fear I'll break CT lose 1t an git licked" he answered.
 He took a little yellow paper-cov- cred book from his pocket and began to read to himself.
 "What's that2" I ventured to ask by and by.
 "A story" he answered. q met ragged or woman in the road t'other day an she give me lot of lem and showed me the pictures an got to readin' lem. Don't you tell anybody cause my op dad hates stories an he'd lick me til couldn't stan if he knew I was readin' 'em."
 I begged him to read out loud and he read from a tale of two robbers named Thunderbolt and Lightfoot who lived in a cave in the mountains. They were bold. free, swearing men who rode beautiful horses at a wild gal Top and carried guns and used them freely and with unerring skill and helped themselves to what they want ed.
 He stopped, by and by, and confided to me the fact that he thought he would run away and join a band of robbers.
 "How do you run awayT asked.
 "Just take the turnpike and keep goin' toward the mountains. When ye meet a band O robbers give lem the sign an tell lem you want to join."
 He went on with the book and read how the robbers had hung a captive who had persecuted them and inter. fered with their sport. The story ex- plained how they put the rope around the neck of the captive and threw the other end of it over the limb of a tree and pulled the man into the air.
 He stopped suddenly and demanded: "Is there long rope hereY
 l pointed to Uncle Peabody's hay rope hanging on a peg.
 "Le's hang captive" he proposed.
 At first I did not comprehend his meaning. He got the rope and threw its end over the big beam. Our old shepherd dog had been nosing the mow near us for rats. Amos caught the dog who, suspecting no harm, came passively to the ropes end. He tied the rope around the dogs neck.
 "We'll draw him up on it-it won't hurt him any," he proposed.
 T. looked at him in silence My heart sluote me, but I hadn't courage to take issue with the owner of a silver watch. When the dog began to struggle I threw my arms about him and cried. Aunt Deel happened to

 Come right down off'n that mow- this minute" said she.
 When we had come down and the dog had followed, pulling the rope after him, Aunt Deel was pale with anger.
 "Go right home-right home," said she to Amos.
 "Mr. Baynes said that he would take me up with the horses" said Amos.
 "Ye can use shanks' horses-ayes they're good enough for you," Aunt Deel insisted, and so the boy went away in disgrace.
 "Where are your penniesT' Aunt Deel said to me.
 felt in my pockets but couldn't find them. "Where did ye have 'em lasti" my aunt demanded.
 "On the haymow."
 Come an show me-"
 We went to the now and searched for the pennies, but not one of them could we find.
 remembered that when I saw them last Amos had them in his hand.
 "Pm awful 'fraid for him-ayes I bel" said Aunt Deel. I'm 'fraid Rovin' Kate was right about him ayes"

 me brought two sheets of paper and

"What did she sayr I asked.

Inat ne was go1n' 10 be hung ayes! You can't play with him no more. Boys that take what don't belong to 'em-which I hope he didn't ayes I hope it awful-are apt to be hung by their necks until they are dead-jest as he was goin' to hang or Shep-ayes they are"
 Uncle Peabody seemed to feel very bad when he learned how Amos had turned out.
 Don't say a word about it," said he. "Mebbe you lost the pennies. Don't mind 'em."
 Soon after that, one afternon, Aunt Deel came down in the field where We were dragging. While she was talking with Uncle Peabody an idea occurred to me, and the dog and pot of honey on the top shelf of the pantry and ever since I had seen 1t put there had cherished secret de- sires.
 ran into the deserted house, and with the aid of a chair climbed to the first shelf and then to ,ae next, and reached Into the pan and drew out comb of honey, and with no delay whatever it went to my mouth. Suddenly 1t seemed to me that I had been hit by lightning. It was the sting of a bee. I felt myself go- ing and made a wild grab and caught the edge of the pan and down we fo hn hn with a great crash.
 I discovered that I was In desper- ate pain and trouble and I got to my feet and ran. I didn't know where was going. It seemed to me that any other place would be better than that. My feet took me toward the barn and crawled under it and hid there. My lip began to feel better, by and by, but big and queer. It stuck out so that I could see 1t. I heard my uncle coming with the horses. I concluded that I would stay where I was, but the dog came and sniffed and parked at the hole through which I had crawled as if saying, "Here he is!" My position was untenable. I came out. Shep began trying to clean my clothes with his tongue. Uncle Peabody stood near with the horses. He looked at me. He stuck his finger into the honey on my coat and smelt 1t.
 "Well, by" he stopped and came closer and asked.
 "What's happened7"
 "Bee stung me-" I answered.
 "Where did ye find so much honey that ye could go swimmin' In it2" he asked.
 heard the door of the house open suddenly and the voice of Aunt Deel.
 Peabody; Peabody, come here quick" she called.
 Uncle Peabody ran to the house, but I stayed out with the dog.
 Through the open door heard Aunt Deel saying: "I can't stan it any longer and won't-not another day ayes, can't stan 1t. That boy is reg'lar pest"
 They came out on the veranda. Un- clc Peabody said nothing, but I could see that he couldn't stand 1t either. My brain was working fast.
 Come here, sir" Uncle Peabody called.
 l knew it was serious, for he had ever called me "sir" before. went

 "Is it much further to where the Dunkelbergs liver" I asked.
 "The Dunkelbergsf Who be theyTH It seemed to me very strange that he didn't know the Dunkelbergs.

 That was a clincher. He laughed and swore and said:

 got into the buggy, and he struck his horse with the whip and went gal- Ioping away in the dusk.
 By and by we passed Rovin' Kate. I could just discern her ragged form by the roadside and called to her. He struck his horse and gave me a rude shake and bade me shut up.
 It was dark and felt very cold and began to wish myself home in bed

 "No-not yet" he answered.

 What befell me that night while dreamed of playing with the sweet faced girl have wondered often. Some time in the night Dug Draper had reached the village of Canton md got rid of me. He had probably put me out at the water trough. Kind hands had picked me up and carried me to a little veranda that fronted the door of a law office. There I slept peacefully until daylight, when felt a hand on my face and awoke suddenly. I remember that I felt cold. A kindly faced man was lean- ing over me.
 Hello, boy" said he. "Where did you come from7"
 I was frightened and confused, but his gentle voice reassured me.
 "Uncle Peabody" I called, as arose and looked about me and be- gan to cry.
 The man lifted me In his arms and held me close to his breast and tried to comfort me. remember seeing the Silent Woman pass while I was in his arms.
 "TeI me what's your name," he urged. Barton Baynes," said as soon as I could speak.

 "Dug Draper brought me. Do you know where Sally Dunkelberg lives7"
 "Is she the daughter of Horace Dunkelberg?"
 'Mr. and Mrs. Horace Dunkelberg," I amended.
 "oh, yes, I know her. Sally is a friend of mine. We'll get some break fast and then we'll go and find her."
 He carried me through the open door of his office and set me down at his desk. The cold air of the night had chilled me and was shiv- ering

My LordI !" Aunt Deel exclaimed. Look at that lip and the honey alI over him-ayes! I tell ye-I can't stan It."
 Say, boy, is there anything on this place that ye ain't tipped over?" Uncle Peabody asked In a sorrowful tone. Wouldn't ye like to tip the house over?"
 was near breaking down in this answer:
 q went into the but'ry and that pan jumped on to me-"
 Didn't you taste the honey?"
 "No," I drew in my breath and shook my head.
 Liar, tooT said Aunt Deel. 'T can't stan 1t an won't"
 Uncle Peabody was sorely tried, but he was keeping down his anger. His voice trembled as he said:
 "Boy, guess you'll have to-"
 Uncle Peabody stopped. He had been driven to the last ditch, but he had not stepped over it. However, I knew what he had started to say and sat down on the steps in great de- jection. Shep followed, working at my coat with his tongue.
 I think the sight of me must have touched the heart of Aunt Deel.
 Peabody Baynes, we mustn't be cruel" said she in a softer tone, and then she brought a rag and began to assist Shep in the process of clean I'm NGnnI Dnfe t~F stay here-ayes l-he ain't got no other place to go to-"
 But if you can't stan it." said Un. cle Peabody.
 i've got to stan it-ayes l-I can't stan it, but I've got to-ayesl So have you."
 Aunt Deel put me to bed although 1t was only five. o'clock. As I lay looking up at the shingles a singular resolution came to me. It was born of my longing for the companionship of my kind and of my resentment. I would go and live with the Dunkel- bergs. I would go the way they had gone and find them, I knew it was ten miles away, but of course every body knew where the Dunkelbergs lived and any one would show me. I would run and get there before dark and tell them that I wanted to live with them and every day would play with Sally DunlSelberg. Uncle Peabody was not half as nice to play with as she was.
 heard Uncle Peabody drive away. I watched him through the open win- dow. I could hear Aunt Deel wash ing the dishes in the kitchen. I got out of bed very slyly and put on my Sunday clothes. I went to the open window. The sun had just gone over the top of the woods. would have to hurry to get to the Dunkelbergs' before dark. I crept out on the top of the shed and descended the lad. der that leaned against 1t. I stood a moment listening.

It seemed to me that Il had gone nearly far enough to reach my destination when heard a buggy coming behind me.
