enced every time she had thought of
that ring in the last two years When
1t had partially passed and she had
mastered a wild desire to snatch at
the ring, she surveyed the situation
calmly. After all, there was no great
hurry. She knew where the man
could be found, almost any day. 1t
would be an easy matter to obtain an
interview and present her claim to
the ring in private-a better way than
to risk being snubbed in public.
The bus drew up beside the curb
at the end Of the line. The man alight-
ed Just ahead of Constance. 1t was
soon apparent that he had come for
an Identical reason, to stroll through
the picturesque old square where
children of the rich rOmp side by side
with urchlns from the slums. The
man seated himself on bench In the
sun and proceeded to roll a cigarette.
He glanced somewhat more than casu-
ally ut his late seat mate as she
passed. But tailored linen suits,
straight-brimmed sailor hats and fiat
hreled oxfOrds do not constitute the
traditional garb Of the "stenOg' on

that he had ever seen her before.
Constance had walked for perhaps
fifty feet when there flashed before
her minds eye that motto which
graces twcnty-four out Of twenty-five
business Offices, "Do it now". On a
sudden impulse she turned and re-
traced her steps till she stood before
the man on the bench.

Constance Ravens recognized the
man the moment he took the empty
seat beside her on the Fifth avenue
bus. She had taken dictation from
him once, when Miss Carey was alb
sent. He had barely glanced at her on
that occasion-stood by the window
with arms folded, gazing out. He
didn't look at her now.
1t being the afternoon Of the seventh
day the crosstown traffic was light and
the numbering vehicle pursued an al
most uninterrupted course down the
wide thoroughfare. Now 1t passed a
small second floor shop whose show
window displays a perpetual procla-
nation: ANY Garment in This Win

stances attention and held 1t as long
as the limitation of vision would al

her mind, being of no more impor-
lance than any occasional seat mate

The man remained in that class I'M
til the girl, deep in calculation as to
whether by hook or crook she could
afford that rose confection, suddenly
awakened to the fact that she was
staring straight at what she had every
reason to believe was her own moth

To Cure a Cold.

Coughs and Colds-An ordinary cold
can often be checked in the hrst
stages by inducing a good perspira-
ton. A glass of very hot milk drunk
after you are in bed, or the juice OF a
lemon added to a tumbler Of boiling
water, will often accomplish this. A
hot bath to which little ammonia
has been added is another method.

WHAT A FARM is FOR
CENSUS PURPOSES.

! Because of general mlsconceptTon
concerning the use of this word the
Bureau of Census, for the simplifca-
ton of record-taking by its enumerat-
ors, has defined the word farm" in
this wise:
"a farm for census purposes is all
the land which is directly farmed by
one person conducting agricultural
operations, either by his own labor or
with the assistance of members of his
household or hired employees"
In further explanation of this def
milton the Census Bureau describes the
term agricultural operations as re-
ferrng to the work of growing crops,
producing other agricultural products,
raising domestic animals, poultry, or
bees
From this definition, farm may
consist of single tract Of land or of a
number of separate and distinct tracts.
These several tracts may be held under
different tcnures,' as, for instance, one
tract is owned by the farmer and an
other is rented by him. Thus, if a man
who owns 100 acres rents an additional
10 acres from some one else and oper-
ates both the 100 acres and the 10
acres, then his farm" includes both
tracts of land comprising 10 acres,
BY the same token, when land
owner has one or more tenants, rent
crs, troopers, or managers, each differ
emf tract of land operated by such in
diyiduals is considered separate and
distinct farm by the Census Bureau.
For example, if a man owning l2O
acres of land rents 40 acres to a tenant
and farms the remaining 50 acres him
self, his farm is the so acres which he
operates, not the 800 acres which he
owns, while the 4O-acrc tract which he
rents to the tenant comprises a sep
aratc farm to be reported in the name
of the tenant
The importance of the agricultural
enterprise largely determines whether
or not it would be recognized in the
census as farnl A small vegetable
garden, or chicken yard accommo-
dating a few industrious hens, will not
be allowed to qualify as a farm no
