CHAPTER v.
A Night and a MornInq.

Stella Donovan never forgot the
miseries of her first night in Haskell.
When old Man Timmons finally left
her, after placing the flaring lamp OH
chair, and went pattering back down
the bare hall, she glanced shuddering-
ly about at her unpleasant surround
ings, none too pleased with the turn Of
events.
The bed-clothing, once turned back
and inspected, was of a nature to pre-
vent the girl from disrobing; but final
ly she lay down, seeking such rest as
was possible, after turning the flicker
ing flames Of the lamp as low as she
dared, and then finally blowing 1t out
altogether. Her thoughts, never still.
wandered over the events of the eve
ning-the arrival at Haskell station,
the strange meeting with Westcott,
and the sudden revelation that he was
the partner Of Frederick Cavendish.
The big, good-natured miner had in
terested her from the first as repre-
senting perfect type of her precon-
ceived ideal Of the real westerner.
She had liked the firm character of his
face, the quiet, thoughtful way in
which he "cted, the whole unobtrusive
bearing o. the man. Already he had
awakened her trust; she felt con-
vinced tfat If she needed friendship,
advice, even actual assistance, here
was one whom she could implicitly
trust.
She was young and she awoke rest
ed and refreshed, in spite of the fact
that her body ached at first from the
discomfort of the cot. She stared
about at the bare, board walls, the bull
let-scarred mirror. the cracked pitcher,
before she could fully reassure her
self; then stepped upon the disreputa-
BILE rug and crossed to the open win
dow.
She Strengthened up, emitting swift
breath Of delight, as her wide-open
eyes surveyed the marvellous scene Of
mingled loveliness and grandeur. The
stream, curving like a great snake,
cleaned amid the acres Of green grass,
its swift waters sparkling in the sun.
Beyond, seemingly at no distance at
all, yet bordered by miles of turf and
desert, the patches Of vivid green in
terspersed with the darker coloring Of
spruce, and the outcropping Of brown
rocks, the towering peaks Of a great
mountain-chain swept up into the
clear blue Of the sky, black almost to
their SUBMITS, which were dazzling
with the white Of unmelted snow.
The girls eyes dwelt lovingly for
some time on the far-fung line Of
mountains, before she finally released
the green shade, and shut out the
scene. Her toilet was a matter Of but
few minutes, although she took oc-

brighten up the shoes, somewhat
soiled by the tramp through the thick
dust the evening before. Indeed, 1t
was a very charming young woman,
her dress and appearance quite suf-

out into the rough hall, and down the

passed, and MISUNDERSTANDING

tinued down that side Of the street for
some distance. Through the rude win
dow at the post office the clerk pushed
a plain manila envelope into her out
stretched hand. Evidently from the
thinness of the letter, Farriss had but
few instructions to give and, thrusting
the unopened missive into her hand.

room.
There she ventured a startled gasp.
The suitcase which she had left closed
upon the floor was open-wide open

had rummaged 1t thoroughly. And Miss
Donovan knew that she was under
suspicion.
The knowledge gave the girl a sud-

served to strengthen her resolve.
There had been nothing in her valise

she was in Haskell, and consequently

MR.. BUSINESS MAN, ARE YOU

A few years co., every business
man or firm was a sort of rule n
guide unto himself. Then the schools

four or five months and came back
and went to dosing out medicine, but
things are different now. A mar
must know more about anything he
undertakes unless he expects failure.
So it is that the questions r asked

tells a story Of hG. own. Here 1t Is:
In our flock Of chickens we had
only n brown Leghorn. but she was
hard to beat. One day she stole her
nest, and, though Leghorns do not, as
q rule sit, some time later she came
marching proudly into the yard fol-
lowed by a dozen little brown balls.
In a week she had following her Is
chicks Of all ages and descriptions;
she had stolen them from other hens.
And besides attending to the needs
Of that large family she began short

An interesting incident occurred or

tie hen that was repeatedly prevented

and Matched the eggs herself. The

The money cost Is found by apply
ms to these basic factors the current
rates for labor, seed, etc. Inasmuch
a. II has been found that, In general,
labor and material costs approximate
80 per cent Of the total operating cost
for these crops, IL Is easy to find this
total when the labor and material costs
are known.
The figures given represent average
crop requirements for the regions
where investigations have been made.
II the farmer does not have precise
records Of labor and material expend'-
lures for his own farm, he can esti-
mate them pretty closely by taking the
average for his own region as a basis
and applying current rates for labor
and materials, with due allowance for
any unusual conditions that may exist
In his own case. The method Of com
putation Is as follows:
/. Determine the total cost Of labor
and material per acre by applying cur
rent rates to the quantities Of labor
and materials obtained from the in
dividual's own records, or, II such are
not available, use those given In the
table.
2. Determine the total operating ex-
pense per acre by dividing the cost OF
labor and material by the percentage
figure given for each region.
8. Determine the total acre cost OF
production by adding the Interest
charge or the cash rem paid for the
use Of land.

Even the Poorest Farmers of Rou-

The poorest farmer in the Near East
can afford astrakan collars and hats !;
and the man without good piece or

Nobody wears more fur lining or

These men comport themselves with

be by the priests of the Greek church.
A long black plush garment, tight
at the collar and belted at the waist
by bath robe cord, envelopes them
from head to foot. Because 1t Ia

RECALLS OLD sIx-DAY RACES
Death of "Lepper" Hughes Brings Back
Period of Sports That Once
Held Full Sway.

The death a few days ago OF
"Lepper' Hughes, one Of the old guard
of the six-day go-as-you-please races
which were conducted annually in the
old Madison Square garden, recalls
period when that portion of the metro
politan public which hates to go to
bed before daylight pursued one OF its
fads to the limit, remarks the New
York Herald.
These six-day grinds drew great
crowds. Many persons virtually
lived the entire week In the foul at
mosphera, of the dingy old building
and watched the men as they walked
or trotted their way YEARLY round
and round the area. Prize money was
big and the contests had an interna-
tional flavor, the English champion,
Charlie Rowell, being a participant on
more than one occasion, and the win
ner of one competition important from
q prize money viewpoint.
'Lepper" Hughes and Paddy Fftz-
gerald of Long Island City were In
variably on han0 Wnen tneSe SO-cdileu
endurance tests were decided, and each
had a devoted following. Both were
tall and slim In build, while Rowell
was stocky, and had a short, quick
stride which rolled the miles behind
him in a way which made 1t difficult
for his competitors to keep near him
England has long been famous for the
quality of her distance runners, and
Rowell was one of her very best.
The death of Hughes will also re-
call to many the New York of the
days when there was not much life
after dark north Of Twenty-thlrd
street and the out-oftown visitor
eager to see the sights had to content
himself with what the Bowery and
Sixth avenue afforded.
