another. '"The barn was stored with grain and machinery and the insur- ance ran out last week."
 Norman was crushed with sense of his culpability. He felt like flying from home, town and all the peo- pie he had ever known. He skulked behind a hedge as a group of. girls came along. They were discussing the fire so excitedly that they paid no attention to a lone member of their group trailing on behind them. Nor man noticed her, however She was Milly Daniels. He startled her by stepping directly in her path.
 "Just finger for moment, will you, Milly?" he spoke under high agita- tion, "or I'll walk with you bit. I'm in terrible trouble, and I'm going to leave town for good" and Norman re- cited the entire story of the evening"
 sTheres only one way out, don't you see it, Milly?'' he said q don't dare to face Farmer Logan; I'm going away to make something of myself, and the day l have got the money to make it square with MT. Logan I'm coming back. And Milly, dear, you have been my truest friend and have always stood by me. Will you try to think of me while I'm gone will yod-will you wait for me? For I shall never love anybody but you"
 Five years went by. Not a word had been heard from the truant son. Joel Hardy had forbidden even the mention of his name in the home. Mrs. Hardy, half heartbroken, repined in silence. Milly Daniels became an orphan, and when Mrs. Hardy needed

Not that l care for any of them ex- eept Milly Daniels, and she's true blue and stands by me, and l won't have her humbled and shamed. I'm going to spend this New Years eve with the crowd, and I'll be home to breakfast"
 If you don't report here by ten o'clock I'll send the town marshal after you," pronounced his father, with fire in his eye
 Norman marched out of the house, hung around downtown until eight o'clock, and then repaired to the agreed-on rendezvous of the crowd, an old buggy shed attached to a great barn owned by Farmer Logan. He felt uneasy, stubborn and nettled. Re gently he had been dared by his com panionS to smoke a cigarette. He had met the dare and now, with two of them in his pocket, he lit one, and, in sheer rebellion against his fathers system, was about to puff out his re- sentiment when the signal cry of his comrades echoed forth. Carelessly throwing the lighted cigarette into a corner of the shed. he bounded out and for over an hour forgot all save the excitement of the moment. The unruly ceterie rolled giant snowball and let it slide down the hill leading to the town common; they got up into the town hall tower and rang it's bell. In the midst of setting loose a drove of cattle from live stock enclosure they were attracted by the. dash and rush of the village fire cart, making for vivid. spreading glare.
 Why, it's Farmer Logan's place p shouted chorus of excited voicess and Norman Hardy's heart stood still He recalled the cigarette and the filtered woodshed He stood dumb and scared. The flames completely en- gulfed the great frame barn. Norman slunk off alone by himself, oppressed with an appalling sense of guilt. His emotions were doubly intensified when he heard some one say:

It was few minutes after midnight, five years to day since Norman Hardy had gone forth into the world to seek his fortune Milly had pleaded 10 sit up and watch the old year out and the new year in. All three of the family, though In different ways, were thinking of the boy who had run away from home. The bells had just finished a resonant chime when the knob of the outside door turned. There stepped into the room bronzed, stalwart young man, at a sight of whom Joel Hardy gasped incredu lously, his wife uttered joyous scream. and Milly stood breathless and tiuttering.

 Joel Hardy left the room. He re- turned with the strap that had been so familiar to his son. Taking out his pocketknife, the old man proceeded to cut the strap to pieces and flung them into the blazing grate.

that household during the entire year. There are many interest ing ways of entertaining a New Years party, but the favorite of all is the masked dance or party, and the most interesting way of having this sort of entertainment is to give ghost party. The invitations read in this manner
 Our good old Father Time
 Has promised to convene
 The shades of many notables
 To meet you New Years cen.
 We'll look for you. you know,
 To help to make things go,
 And incidentally to meet
 Some ghosts you're sure to know.
 There should be 20 or more guests, and after the invitations have gone out, the hostess has little private chat with her guests over the tele- phone. She requests them to come dressed to represent some famous per son now dead, pantomime, words, ges- lures and costume being used to carry cut the impersonation.
 Dressed in a misty black robe cov- cred with stars cut from gold paper, the hostess will receive her guests in q room draped all in white Sheets or cheesecloth can be used for this. No word is spoken until a little red imp distributes cards and pencils to the assembled guests. Then each in turn speaks some word or does some stunt to suit his or her character. The person guessing the greatest number correctly receives a pretty copy of the book, "Ghosts I Have Met"
 Games, contests and dancing will follow, and the supper or refresh ment table will be filled with things tempting enough to attract even the nest ghostly appetite. The table dec orations should correspond with the festivities of the season. A New Years pie made of crepe paper over a deep pan is filled with dainty little fayors for the guests or cards upon which some funny rhyme is written for each individual guest. Part of the entertainment for the evening may be the telling of fortunes, informing each guest of their fate for the con- ing year.
 Whatever you do, don't let anyone shatter your faith in New Years reso- lutions. They are the best things ever 1T you know how to handle them. and the most discouraging things if you don't.

My boy spoke his father after a moment of omineus deliberation s.when I was a lad of ten, my father taught me lesson that has left it's impress on my whole life in d salu- tary way. Upon the tick of midnight just preceding my birthday he always ealled me down to the kitchen and gave me good sound strapping. It hurt him more than it did me, he used to say, but the reminder would be ever present with me. Until was twenty-one, regularly, upon each birth day the strap played it's part and I tbink it did good deal towards teaching me that I had master and In making me a better man.

Now, then, take your punishment like man.
 Joel Hardy produced short. thick piece of tanned cowhide and Norman winced, but did not cry out during the unique castigation. It was five years later. and with the usual routine late in the afternoon Joel Hardy re- minded Norman of the pending mid night event His eyes bnlged and his face betrayed overwhelming amaze ,nent as Norman stood up before bim, a tall. well-knit stripling. almost men acing In his bearing as he said:

 When Norman's tenth birthday was only eight hours distant, his father gave the order. sternly spoken: You will be in the house for the night at seven o'clock" and Norman moped in martyrlike way, envying his boy friends who had mapped out joyous New Years eve program of skating, hill sliding, and like boyish pranks He wondered what was coming, but his father simply viewed him specu- latively and sent him to bed at the usual time. He was awakened to find his father roughly pulling at his arm "Get up. Norman, and come down to the kitchen" said Joel Hardy you needn't dress"

QUERY: HOW Dol "
STAND FINANCIALLY

Most farmers would like to know
at the end of the year how much they
are worth. They would also like to
know whether or not they have made
any profit on the farm as whole.
1t would be interesting also to know
just what enterprises in their farm
business were profitable and which
were Improbable for the year.
While most farmers would like to
have the above facts about their bust
ness, very few have them.
The first question, How Do I
Stand?" can easily be answered. The
difference between what farmer
owns and what he owes is his net
worth. II one will make fair and
accurate inventory at the beginning
Of the year he has the basis for de-
termining his net worth.
The inventory at the beginning of
the year should include the value OF
all property owned, including live
stock, machinery. feed and supplies,
cash, and bills owed him by others.
From this should be deducted the sum
Of all mortgages. notes and bills owed
by him to others. rhe difference be-
tween the two shows his net worth.
The net worth Of this year should be
. compsred with that Of last year to
determine how much has been made.
II statement was not made last
J year, then the one made this year
should be preserved, another one
made next year, and the comparison
begun. E" The net worth statement
from year to year is very satisfac-
tory measure Of the progress made by
