Wheat

Wheat-A large number Of crop
damage reports stimulated aggressive
buying after the opening and the mar
ket advanced rapidly to the highest
price of season for new crop delivery.
The trade apparently overlooked the
fact. that the reports were practically
from all the territory already covered
in Kansas. and while advices from
Missouri and Nebraska were not un-
favorable. \ significant feature was
messages from crop experts travelling
in that territory is that they all agree
there is a large amount Of wheat re-

liberal and all cash markets rather
easy as compared with the futures. The

Stephen came in the front drive

ward the barn. Smarts hay barn was
always an adventure. 1t was big and

clustered under the high caves. Just

Stephen and the dog turned In at the
door. the Stranger already shining
eagerly at a suspicious hole under
the harness racks. Idly the boy fol-

There. not two feet before him, hung
tangled paradise of harness-old
and rusty and unpublished. new and
resplendent, with nickel trimmings and
brass buckles.
For a second he hesitated, and his
heart pounded in his throat. Then he
looked around sharply. He was alone.
With eager fingers he appraised the
straps and made selection. 1t was
a new harness, and the leather felt
like satin to his fingers. Tucking it
under his arm. he ran out of the
stable and around to the shed.
The Terschaks were there already,
brown-eyed and docile. Red was
bringing the horses over from his
fathers pasture, and Bill White ar
rived. the toga rolled tightly under
his arm. Into a pile Of shavings
Stephen tossed the harness. He hated
some way to touch it, to look at it.

peared, they rode again on the culti-
vators. This IL arduous work, for

they became bear witness.
Accordingly, exercises at the CROSS

Friday afternoon, early that April.
and Friday morning was a half holi-
day, devoted to preparation.
Across the dslds toward Smarts
tramped Stephen and the Stranger.

be unjustifled. He had only one dou-

was no rich squire like 81 Smart. His

Zeke possessed no margin Of re-
source to cover accidents. Stephen
knew this. Could the boy be mad. or

enjoyed the drama Of such occasions
as these when. for q few brief mo-
ments, he tasted the joys OF dictator
though little did either dream Of his
kinship to the other. Stephen ruled
more by q sort Of instructive tact
than by force. After all. yhe was
shorter than Bill and Red and most
of the Terschaks. He won only be-
than they did.

crept out from the bushes. He be-

A'I could cultivate. They sowed and
reaped with shameless extravagance,
but the land forgave them. Only
Zeke couldn't forgive. Most of all. he
hated Smart, the squire of the coun-
ty. Smart broke all the canons Of
thrift and good sense, and each year
added acres to his lands and cattle
to his herds. About 81 Smart there
was something almost magnificent.
He had come out a pioneer, ahead of
state New York farm to the care of
a less adventurous brother. Upon the
unbroken acres of rolling prairie he
had staked his dollars and his dreams
and his youth.

and succeed. 81 Smart succeeded.
Everything he touched yielded him
Golden River to whose land the
locusts never came, or drought, or
flood. The whole country paid tribute
to him. He was veritable Cedric
the Saxon, and Zeke was Gurth with
the brass ring Of debt soldered around
his neck.
If the COW died, 80 would tha calf.
and the rent was due on the forty
acres Zeke, leased from the squire.
The barn was deep in shadow now
and silent, except for the short, harsh
breathing Of the sick beast. Zeke
busied himself with a dosen incon-
peauential tasks. His anxiety drove
him into an aimless activity which, in
his heart, he knew to be futile.
In the kitchen Stephen washed up
his dishes and brought in the wood
