Georges eyes remained for some
time fixed on the thin space between
the names "Allen" and Ambrose"
Then he closed the book quietly, and
went up to his own room, agreeing
with the elevator boy, on the way,
that 1t was getting to be q mighty
nasty wet and windy day outside.
The elevator boy noticed nothing un-
usual about him and neither did Fanny,
when she came in from church with
her hat ruined, an hour later. And yet
something had happened-a thing
which, years ago, had been the eager
est hope Of many, many good citizens
Of the town. They had thought Of 1t,
longed for 1t, hoping acutely that they
might live to see the day when 1t would
come to pass. And now il had hap
pened at last: George Minafer had
got his come-upance.
He had got 1t three times filled and
running over. The city had rolled over
his heart, burying it under, as it rolled
over the Majors and buried 1t under.
The city had rolled over the Amber
sons and buried them under to the last
vestige. and II mattered little that
George guessed easily enough that
most of the five hundred Most Promi-
nent had paid something substantial

0Aorgie Minafer had got his come
upance, but the people who had so
lOnssd for 1t were not there to see 1t,
and they never knew 1t. Those who
were still living had forgotten all
about it and all about him.
George had seen Eugene only once
since their calamitous encounter. They
had passed on opposite sides of the
street, downtown; each had been
aware that the other was aware of
him, and yet each kept his eyes
straight forward, and neither had
shown perceptible alteration of coun-
tenance. IL seemed to George that he
felt emanating from the Outwardly i'm
perturbable person Of his mothers old
friend a hate that was like hot wind.
| At his mothers funeral and at the
! Majors he had been conscious that
Eugene was there :~though he had aft
| erward no recollection of seeing him,
and, while certain of his presence. was
uncertain how he knew of it. Fanny
had not told him, for she understood
George well enough not to speak TO
him of Eugene or Lucy. Nowadays

them and seldom thought of them-so

success he must resort to practlcal
business methods.
Farmers of today have more system
10 their business than do large per
cent of commercial men and they are
more exacting when it comes TO foi-
lowing out plans than are many men
in other lines of endeavor "
Fact of the matter is that the farm
er of today has so much at stake that
were it not for his careful following
of the right business methods he
would soon be out of the game.
Newspapers in the days gone by car
ried advertisements from the town
business men only and those were hard
to get many times. Just take look
over the papers of today and note the
large number of advertisements, large
and small that are run over the names
of prominent and successful farmers
throughout the country. The good
farmer has come to realize that
the home newspaper has a great sell
ing power. He knows that he can dis
pose of his surplus stock by adyer-
tising in the local papers and he also
knows that an ad in his home paper
is the most economic salesman that
he can employ.
The papers Of today are read by
more people than ever before

turning up his coat collar. plodded
back through the soggy streets toward

The utilitarian impudence Of the city
authorities put a thought into his mind.
A week earlier he had happened to
stroll into the large parlor OF the
on the comfortable he noticed a large.
red-bound. gllt-edged book, newly
printed. bearing the title: "A Civic
History" and beneath the title, the
rubric, Biographies of the 500 Most
Prominent Citizens and Families in
the History Of the City" He had
glanced at II absently, merely noticing
the title and subtitle, and wandered
out OF the room, thinking of other
things and feeling no curiosity about
the book. But he had thought of it
several times since with faint, vague
uneasiness; and now when he entered
the lobby he walked directly into the
parlor where he had seen the book.
The room was empty, as 1t always was
on Sunday mornings, and the ilambOy-
ant volume was still upon the table
evidently a fixture as sort of local
Almanach de Gotha, or Burke. for the
enlightenment of tenants and boarders.
He turned to the index where the
names OF the five hundred Most Promi-
nent Citizens and Families in the lis
tory of the City were arranged In al
phabetical order, and ran his finger
down the column Of AS: Albeit, Alb

CHAPTER XXI.

They found the job. 1t needed an
apprenticeship Of only six weeks, dur
Ing which period George was to re-
ceive fifteen dollars week; after
that he would get twenty eight. This
settled the apartment question. and
Fanny was presently established In a
greater contentment than she had
known for a long time.
On Sunday mornings Fanny went to
church and George took long walks.
He explored the new city, and found
1t h!deous. especially In the early
spring, before the leaves Of the shade
trees were out.
One Of his Sunday walks, that
spring, he made into sour pilgrimage.
1t was a misty morning Of belated
snow slush. and suited him to a per
fecton Of miserableness, as he stood
before the great dripping department
store which now occupied the big plot
Of ground where once had stood both
the ANDERSON hotel and the Anderson
opera house. From there he drifted to
the old Anderson block" but this was
only a shadow. The old structure had
not been replaced, but cavernous en-
tryway for trucks had been torn In Its
front, and upon the Cornice, where the
old separate metal letters had spelt
ANDERSON block" there was long
bill board sign: ''Doogan Storage"
To spare himself, he went out Ma
tional avenue and saw the piles Of
slush-covered wreckage where the
Mansion and his mothers house
had been, and where the Majors i'll
fated five ''hcw" houses had stood; for
these were down, too, to make room
for the great tenement already shaped
In unending lines of foundation.
He turned away from the devastated
site, thinking bitterly that the only
Anderson mark still left upon the
town was the name of thesboulevard--
Anderson boulevard. But he had reck-
oned without the city council of the
new order, and by an unpleasant coin
/ cidence, while the thought was still
In his mind, his eyes feu upon metal
o0i0ng sign upon the lamp-post at the
corner. There were two of these little
signs upon the laipp-post, at an 0btuse
angle to each other, one to give pass
ershy the name OF National avenue
the other to acquaint them with Am
berson boulevard But the one upon
which should have been stenciled

words "Tenth street."

walked quickly along the boulevard Il
the next corner and looked at the little
sign there. 'Tenth street."

SERIOUS NEW PEST OF WHEAT
Eelworm Has Done Much Damage In
Virginia and other states-Plant

The eelworm is a tsrious new pest
OF wheat which has recently done
much damage in Virginia. and TO n
lesser extent In West Virginia, Mary
land and California. The disease may
be recognized In the threshed grain by
the presence Of hard, d~ark.colored

FEEDING SKIM MILK TO PIGS
Resume Of Many Tests Made for Pur-
pose Of Aseertalnlng Most Eco
nomleal Method.

A good many tests have been made
for the purpose OF ascertninlng the
most economical way Of feeding skim
milk 20 hogs. A resume OF the work
done along this line at the Indiana,
New York, Iowa, Wisconsin aud On.
tnrio experiment stations shows that
young pigs. that Is, pigs weighing less
than 100 pounds. mny be fed as much
Ms three pounds OF skim milk per
pound Of grain. and by groin we mean
any one OF the cereals fed slngly, or
n number OF them together. As pigs
grow older the amount OF skim milk
should be reduced to about two pounds
per pound OF grain. The reason for
thls is that less protein Is required as
the pigs grow older and still less Is re-
quired during the fnttenlng period.

Under ordinary farm conditions
lambs should be made ready for mar
ket nt from 3 10 8 months of age.
When young they make n higher rate
OF gHin and will put on the same
amount Of flesh for less cost than when
they are older. Then. too. they will
make but small gains during the heat
OF summer, and at this time parasites
are most troublesome and they nre
thus more liable to losses from this
cause. Risk Of accidents Is always
higher when the lambs are held for n
long time. More feed Is saved for the
breeding flock, and less labor Is needed
II the limbs nre sold early. Better
prices are obtained In the spring be-
cause OF not having to meet the COM
petition Of the western lambs that nre
marketed during the summer and fall,
and In addition the grower gets the
use Of his money sooneF by pushing
the lambs TO n marketable condition as
