How John Beverley managed to cap
ture the dashing and beautiful Mar
garet Ffollot nobody ever knew.
John left school about the same
time did and went into a banking Of
flee. He used to toll there for eight
hours a day, when he might have
been playing tennis at the country
club, or hunting, or amusing himself
travelling. And yet that slow coach
won Margaret Ffoliot and they went
to Europe for twp-months' honey
moon.
You can imagine that we fellows
looked forward with some interest to
Margarets return They came back
and rented small place at Forest
Glade.
Bob Flinders had been Margaret's
best friend before the marriage, and
we were all anxious to know whether
he would go to her house or not I
happened to be there when Bob called
for the first time, and it was evident
from the way John shook hands with
him that he hadn't the renotest idea
that people used to Wng their heads
when Bob and Margaret We're spoken
Of.
After the return Bob semed quite
reconciled to his fate. He was the
most persistent caller at Johns house
usually at times when John wasn't
around. The heads began to wag
again as before the marriage and
some people wanted t0 give John a
tip that Margaret and Bob were get
ting too friendly. It wasn't that they
had any sympathy with John, for we
all felt that he had done dirty trick
III cutting poor Bob out; but we want
ed to see how John would take it.
John win take it is he takes
everything" said Jim Allen. Hell
say, oh, really!' and dismiss the sub
ject. Can you imagine John playing
mans part In anything?"
We soon found out that Margaret
was dissatisfied with John. She was
ashamed Of him.
It was a few weeks after their re-
turn that some Of the boys fixed up a
Joke on John. 1t seemed that Mar
garet had written Bob one or two let
ters in the, old days, and she had
wanted them back. Bob didn't want
to give them back, because they ap-
pealed to his vanity. and they gave
him sort of hand over Margaret. He

Immediately narrowed after broad
casting. Transferring soil from any
considerable distance is expensive and
subject to the danger Of introducing
troublesome weeds, insects and plant
diseases.
An easier method Of field soil In
oculation which has met with success
where only small amount Of inocu-
lated soil is available is to coat the
seed with inoculated soil by means of
ordinary furniture glue.
Dissolve two handfuls Of glue for
every gallon Of boiling water and al

in q washtub and then sprinkle enough

thoroughly until all the seed Is mois-
tened.
Obtain inoculated soil from a place
where the same kind Of plants as the
seed are growing, making sure that
the roots have vigorous. development
Of nodules. Dry the soil in the shade
and pulverize 1t. Scatter this dust
over the moistened seed, using from
two to four quarts Of dirt for each
bushel Of seed, mixing thoroughly un-
til the seeds no longer stick together.
Liquid pure cultures are prepared
by the Department Of Agriculture and
are mailed in limited quantities on ap-
plication, not more than enough for
one bushel Of one kind, Of seed to any
person. They are also sold by private
concerns. Complete directions are
mailed with each bottle.

YOUNG FOWLS BEST LAYERS
Seldom Pays to Keep Hens for Lay
ing After They Are Past Two
Years Of Age.

There are people who have the
right variety of fowls, who house and
feed them properly, and yet who can
not obtain eggs early in the winter
because their fowls are too old 1t
Is seldom that 1t pays to keep hens
for laying after they are two and a
half years old; not that they will
not give a profit, but because younger
fowls will give a greater profit.

tell us the bargain he made with Mar
garet. He promised to give them back
If she would give him kiss. said
kiss to be delivered on the first con-
yenIent occasion.
OF course, Bob didn't really mean
that, because he was a good enough
sort of fellow, but still, he wouldn't
have been nverse from taking one IT,
he had had the opportunity. He told
us that Margaret had laughingly ac-
cepted his proposition. and that the

place in the little garden at the back
Of the Country club, where nobody
ever goes. Bob was to be there with
the letters and Margaret with the
kiss, and Bob arranged that those Of
us who wanted to see the fun should
watch from the windows of the bill
lard room, which would be sure to be
empty, because the tables were being
repaired.
There was a grape arbor just at the
side adjoining the place where Bob
and Margaret were to meet, and at
first we had thought of hiding In
there But Bob was afraid our mirth
would be heard and he would get
into trouble, and, as we found that
we had perfect view from the Win
doWs, we were very well satisfied. 1t#
was as good as play.
Margaret was the first of the actors
to arrive and we saw her pacing up
and down the garden in an agitated
sort Of way.
Bob had the letters in his hand and
he gave them to her.
"You see, trust you, Margaret, "a &
he said, and he thrust his head up so
that he could wink at us. Margaret
was too much agitated to see what ne 4
was doing. She kept looking right
and left, as though she were afraid,
and at last. when she had to deliver.
the goods, she looked into the grape
arbor instead and-John came out.
Bob stood smiling at John In g
foolish sort Of way, and when JOnn
spoke, his voice had rasp In it.
"You dirty blackguard." he said,5
''peel off your coat and look alive. I'm
going to thrash you"
Bob whipped Off his coat and, run-S
ming at John, suddenly ducked and hir
him a fiendish blow just under the
belt. 1t wasn't sport but it was fun
ny to see John double up suddenly
We thought that he was done fer,
but all at once he seemed to straight-
Ell and came back at Bob with q
thump on the nose which started the
blood. And after that Bob didn't seem
to have a show.
Bob was a sight when John got
! through with him. He was coated VIII
! blood and filth and he was yelling
"murder!" so loud that all the walt
ers had come up and stood round
, watching the game.
John gave his arm to Margaret, ana
as they walked off together I noticed
that she seemed to cling to him ~
sort Of manner that hadn't seen
her do before. II
As said, you never know what a.
woman will do.
No, Margaret has cut our set now
and goes In for the highbroWs. She's
real fond Of John; 1t seems shame

be linked up with a slowcoach Ike.
