 Dear knows," said her mother wearily. T hope he doesn't take it iu his head to go out there. too"
 "Who, Dad? Oh, he wouldn't do that. His hearts quite wrapped up in the farm here. wish he'd unwrap ii bit and let 1t peek out at times.''
 .Pm not so sure. Pm beginning to think it's the money that's in the farm your fathers heart is set on. If the money was to be made somewhere else his heart would soon shift. Here I've slaved and saved until Pm an-an old woman, and what better are we for it? We've better things to eat and more things to wear and a bigger house to keep clean, and your father thinks we ought to be satisfied. But he isn't satisfied himself. He's slaving harder than ever, and now he's got this notion about going West. Oh, you'll see it will come to that. He knows our life isn't complete, and he thinks more money will complete it. All the experience of twenty years hasn't taught him any better"
 Beulah stood aghast at this outturst, and when her mother paused and looked at her, and she saw the unbid- den wells of water gathering in the tender eyes, the girl could no longer restrain herself. With a cry she flung her arms about her mothers neck, and for few moments the two forgot their E T>sA 4y,% hr,& r1 souls mingling together.
 "Your rather is hungry" said the mother. Hungry-hungry, and he thinks that more land, more money, more success, will fill him. And in the meantime he's forgetting the things that would satisfy-the love that was ours, the little devo-Oh, child, what am I saying? What an unfaithful creature l am?

If he says any thing more about it Tll-rn fly off, that's what I'll do. And I've a few re- marks for him about Riles that won't keep much longer. The old badger he's at the bottom of all this"
 "You mustn't quarrel with your fa- ther, dearie. you mustn't do that.''
 "I'm not going to quarrel with him, but I'm going to say some things that need saying. And if 1t comes to a showdown, and he must go-well, he must, but you and I will stay with the old farm. won't we, motherY

 ''The news might be worse" said Beulah. Rifles. although successful farmer, had the reputation of being grasping and hard to degree, even in a community where such quali- ties, In moderation, were by no means considered vices.
 Harris paid no attention to his daughters interruption. It was evil dent, however, that his mention of Riles' had purpose behind 1t, and presently he continued:
 "Riles has been writin' to the de- partment of the interior, and it seems they're openin' a lot of land for home steadin' away West, not far from the Rocky mountains. Seems they have a good climate there, and good soil. too"
 1T should think Mir. Riles would be content with what he has" said Mary Harris. "He has a fine farm here. and I'm sure both him and his wife have worked hard enough to take 1t easier now"
 "Hard work never killed nobody" !" pursued the farmer. "Riles is good for many year yet, and free land ain't what it once was. Those homesteads'll be worth twenty dollars an acre by the time they're proved up."
 Breakfast and Harris speech came to an end simultaneously, and the sub- ject was dropped for the time. In a few minutes Jim had his team hitched to the tank wagon in the yard. The men jumped aboard and the wagon rattled down the road to where the engine and blows sat in the stubble- field.
 What notions this fathers got about Rifles. do you suppose, mother?"

KING HAS SUPREME POWER
But There Are Reasons Why British Monarch Does Not Exercise His
 Royal Preroqative.

If the king did all he nnight do with out exceeding his royal prerogative the nation would be startled. He can veto bill passed in both houses: he can dissolve and summon parliament {; he can select or dismiss his ministers he can declare war; he can make treaties and create peers; he can ap- point bishops. governors and judges and all Ion his own." He could cede the duchy of Cornwall to a foreign power, disband the army and navy, and sell the dreadnaughts and naval stores. He could give every govern ment official, from the highest to the lowest, the push" could pardon all criminals, and could stop the whole machinery of government. But there Is an unwritten law of common sense, fortified by long usage, which makes it unthinkable that the king should do these things; and in the last resort. which is never likely to occur, the king. being a constitutional monarch. reigns by the will of the people. and could be deposed by act of parliament.

One Used by Native Navieators of the Marshall islands Was Made
 of Sticks.

A sea chart of the South Sea Islands made of sticks, which served as an ac- curate and authoritative guide for the daring navigators of the Marshall islands just as modern maps do, Is one of the exhibits to be seen in the South Sea island hall of the American Museum of Natural History in New York. The strange sea chart is the gift of Robert Louis Stevenson, who lived on the island of Samoa four years before his death.
 Distances between the islands were measured by hours. not miles. These charts are but little used now, but there was a time when each young chief was compelled to pass his exam ination in the charts, knowing them by heart, as they never were taken to sea. Some students say the slicks represent currents. as there are four dNtinct sets of swells from four quarters of the seas at various seasons of naviga- ton, which were closely studied by the natives.

Small Wonder That in This Bcmbastlc Age He Created Something of
 a Sensation.

The speaker of the occasion was of such unusual appearance that the au- dience gasped or giggled. according to the preference Of its members. when he came upon the rostrum.
 Ladies and gentlemen" he harshly began, fpoverty would be abolished in this country if we could only save and devote to some useful purpose the time we waste in listening to Hons, Chau- tauqua lecturers, pointers with pride and viewers with alarm, singers who cannot sing, babbling bards. parents of bright children. bearers of mes sages to the waiting world, and sun dry other bores whom it is not neces- sary to mention at this time"
 And peculiar as was his personal appearance, his procedure was more unique. for, having said his say, he bowed grimly and retired from the rostrum.-Kansas City Star.

Got cold and decided to let it wear off, have you?
 This neglect and taking chances with colds is responsible for more deaths than the whole list of diseases. It paves the way for all kinds of dis ease, particularly pneumonia.
 The cold settles down and attacks the lining of the lungs-then it is pneumonia.
 Take no chances. Begin today talk ing Father Johns Medicine, which has had more than sixty years of success treating colds and coughs without us- ing alcohol or any dangerous nerve deadening drugs. It builds fighting strength to ward off disease.

CHAPTER V.

Notwithstanding Harris late hours the household was early astir the fol- lowing morning. At five o'clock Jim was at work in the stables, feeding, rubbing down and harnessing his horses, while Allan and his father walked to the engine, where they built a fresh fire and made some minor re- pairs. A little later Beulah came down to the corral with her milk-pails, and the cows, comfortably chewing where they rested on their warm spots of earth, rose slowly and with evident great reluctance at her approach. The Harris farm, like fifty thousand others, rose from its brief hush of rest and quiet to the sounds aHd energies of another day.
