CONFESSIONS OF A RETIRED FARMER
Mason City Man Looks Back Longingly to His Farm
Surroundings!

goes out into the pasture after them
morning or night and start BARNARD
without much urging; the pigs come
squcaling from out the tall grass at
the sound of his call, and every chick
OH the place knows him as the source
/ of food supply. He feels he is some
body on the farm. and not the grain
of sand he really is in the busy life of
the city. He speaks to every one he
meets Oh the road, whether he knows
him or not. and he knows most OF them.
1.-The word neighbor means near
one, and half mile away is often
nearer in the country than 100 feet in
retired farmer is lonesome in the city
| though surrounded by other human
beings who might as well be miles
away as in the same block so far as he
is concerned. He does not know their
business, nor do they want him to
know it and he feels sure that they do
not know his, nor do they want to
know it.
And now lie begins to find out what
blessed thing work is and that he
must find something to do, something
he must do and do regularly if he is
to enjoy life; and that the old idea
that work was a curse put on man by
his Creator is all wrong: and that
work is his salvation. He finds that
his greatest dread is Of the time when
he will be put on the shelf as OF no
more use in this world and he secretly
thanks God that he can do something
vet. and that he is willing to work as
long as he is able.
And. once in Il while he goes out
TO the farm again and naturally drops
into the old ways of life, and then he
realizes that the best days OF his life
we're when he was working the hardest
and achieving things and he feels like
adding one more to the things NEIL
Toned in the BcatitudcS, namely:
"Blessed are those who work, for
they shall have health of body ana
peace of mind and the JOY OF achieve
ment.

INN cold November night, In the
year 1875. the English mail
~ coach, on it's way from London
to Dover, was carrying among its pas
sengers a Mr.. Jarvis Lorry, London
banker of the well-known firm OF
| Tellson & Co. AS the coach stumbled
along in the darkness, there arose be
fore him the vision of an emaciated

About eighteen years before the
story opens, DR.. Manette, prominent
young physician of Paris, had sud
denly disappeared. Everything was
done to discover some trace of him,
but in vain. The loss of her husband
caused his wife such anguish that she
resolved to bring up her little daughter
in ignorance Of her fathers fate; and
when in two years she died, she left
little Lucie under the guardianship OF
TellsOn & Co., to whose care Or.
Manette for many years had intrusted
his financial affairs.
Strange tidngs concerning the Doc

Lorry was on his way to meet his

The servant that sheltered DR.. Ma

Five years later, in the court room
Of the Old Bailey in London. Il young
Frenchman was on trial for his life.
Near him sat an untidy looking indi-
vidual by the name of Sydney Carton.
With his eyes fixed on the ceiling. he
was unobservant, apparently, of all
that passed around him; but it was he,
who. first noticing the extraordinary
resemblance between the prisoner and
himself. rescued Charles Darnay from
the web of deceit which had been spun
around him.
Between these two young men, the
striking resemblance was in outward
appearance only. Charles Darnay was
of noble birth; but his ancestors had
for many years so cruelty oppressed
the French peasantry that the name OF
Evremonde was hated and despised.
Wholly unlike them in character, this
last descendant Of his race had given
up his name and estate. and had come
