CHAPTER WI.
The FInht.


Little by little Paul Pendiehaven
taught her, and little by little Tony's
salvation boy preached his lessons Of
Universal Love to her; and the eager
young mind drank In the knowledge as
thirsty plant takes in water.
There were no signs of UrIah and
Edith returning, and Tonnibel grew
daily more hopeless when she thought
Of her mother Perhaps she would
never see her again. She had strenu-
ously refused to speak of her people
to Paul Pendlehaven.
Doctor John noticed as the DAYS
passed how much better his brother
was looking, and no wonder his own
heart warmed hourly to the curly
headed waif who had come among
them so mysterlously.
Unknown to either OF the doctors.
Mrs. Curtis and her daughter had been
able to keep Tony Devon from meet
ing Philip MacCauley In the house. At
first John Pendlehaven had insisted
that Tony attend the family table, but
both Paul and the girl decided that
her meals should be served In the sick
room. Perhaps If Philip Maccauley
hadn't been Interested IN a certain lit
tie girl on a canal boat, his curiosity
would have taken him 10 Pauls apart
ments to make the acquaintance Of
the little companion John Pendlehayen
had casually spoken Of.
"She's a wonder, Pint" he said one
evening. For the first time I've hopes
OF Paul's recovery
Good :" replied Philip, and lmmedi-
ately fell into reyery.
TonnibeI had reached the canal boat
and had changed o her old clothes
when suddenly she heard footsteps on
the path beside the Hoghole. Her
heart almost leapt out of her mouth
Perhaps her mother was coming home,
perhaps her father. Trembllngly she
peeped out through the aperture. She
drew back instantly. Reginald Brown
was approaching the canal boat. She
heard him cross the deck, and then the
footsteps ceased. She hoped with all
her might and main that he wouldn't
think Of coming downstairs.
But that was exactly what he did
do. She crouched up against the
bunk, as the boy stepped Into the cab
in. When he saw her a slow grin
spread over his thin face.

THE COMMUNITY BAR
BECUE AT WlxLAND
There Resides the f1appiest Conn
munity in Monroe County

Within 10 miles north of Aber-
deem. there resides the happiest
community in Monroe county. This
condition is due to the fact that
this people know each other social
ly and religiously.
This community is composed OF
the most peaceable and loveable
and law-abiding citizens of our
county. They have monthly meet
ings and dinner on the ground.
Once each year they have barbe-
cue with invited guests. The an
nual dinner and barbecue was held
the 25th of August, 1921, on the
Tombeckby farm of Mr.. John c.
Wicks. known as Wixland and Mr..
Wicks and his splendid wife were
host and hostess. Hundreds of
these splendid folks came, bringing
gifts of the most appetizing viands.
The cooking of these delicacies
could not be surpassed by any 9th
er community in old Monroe. A
table at least rs feet long and 2
feet wide. was elaborately covered
with all kinds of cakes, pies, bread
puddings, pickles, chickens fat and
fried brown and crisp. salads, po-
tatoes, iellies; last but not least.
barbecued lamb and shoat and
large kettle of brunswick stew.
Then In the immense spillway of
one of tie largest Artesian wells in
the county were many, many dozen
watermelons for the people.

Utility, One Characteristic at the
Duroc-Jersey Hog

Everything regarded as useless
and of little or no cash value has
been eliminated from the Duroc ex-
cept the squeal. and that is his
signal to his owner that his diges-
tive apparatus is calling Ior more
food to convert into pounds OF
pork. There are no stripes, no
white points, no particularly mark
ed features over which the breeders
and fanciers may haggle. Every
point which the intelligent breeder
and buyer of Duroc insists on being
part and characteristic of the ami
NAL he buys or uses for breeding
purposes, are of value to pork
making animal of the highest or
der; good feet, short pasterns, large
hone, all pecessary for carrying a
large carcass to market, or to pro-
duce and carry up to narrowing
time a large litter; high arched back
for the same reason; good, smooth
coat. showing easy feeding quality;
large heart girth. showing the won-
derful constitution, one of the
strongest points of fine Duroc-Jer-
sey hog; good wide head. showing
nerve force and feeding type; ears
not too large and good eye, nee
essary in rustling in the feed lot
and on grass. good spring of rib.
showing rooming interior for the
development of the organs that
convert the grain and grass into
something that brings money at
the market.
Possibly our competitors consider
the cherry color a useless color, but
it surpasses in beauty any other
color of hair hog ever has grown,
and there is in the makeup OF the
red hog a predisposition to produce
more strong pigs than the sires of
other breeds, There isn't anything,
then. that counts for more money
than this same cherry red. for it is
the extra pigs farmer or breeder
raises from the litters that make
the extra profits.
