don't think she had any right to

He had sat down and was about
to pour himself out some tea. He
put down the teapot and got up.
Look here, do me favor. They're
dead, both of them Don't say any
thing more about them. Don't m l.
ton the subject again. For Gods
sake"
He went out of the house and got
his bicycle and set out for the office.
At the top of the Green he passed
young Pinnock, the son of Pin
nock's Stores. Some patch of color
about young Pinnock caught his
eye. The color was a vivid red
crown on a khaki brassard on the
young mans arm. The badge of
the recruits enrolled under the
Derby enlistment scheme. He dis
mounted. "Hullo, Pinnocl. How
on earth did you get that armlet?
l thought you'd been rejected about
forty times?'
Young Pinnock grinned hugely

He made rather a boisterous
entry into the house on his arrival,
arriving in the morning before
breakfast. He entered the hall Just
after 8 o'clock and announced him

a rotten way Bullying. No, it was
not exactly bullying, it was snub-

, present in Mabel's voice when she
addressed her-that and a manner
of always being what he thought OF
as 'at her"
In March he came back, a second
lieutenant; and Immediately, when
in time to come he looked back,
things set in train for that ultimate
encounter with life which was
awaiting him.
He went over for one visit to
the office at Tidborough. Not so
much enthusiasm greeted him as to
encourage a second. Twyning and
Mr.. Fortune were immersed N
adapting the workshops to war
work for the government And it
was made sufficiently clear to
Sabre that, SO long away and i'm
mediately to be off again, there
couId be no interest for him in the
enterprise.
He rose to go. 81 only called in

you mustn't think you're going to
have Harold .aluting you though, if
you ever meet. He's getting a COM
mission, too" His manner, direct
ly he began to speak of Harold,
changed to that enormous affecti On
and admiration for his son which
Sabre well remembered on the oc-
casion of Haroli joining up. His
face shone, his mouth trembled
with loving pride at what Harold
had been through and what he had
done. And he was such a good boy

His leave drew on. He spent his
time in long walks alone and,
whenever they were possible, in the
old evenings with Mr.. Fargus. In
MabeI's absence he and Effie were
much thrown together. Mabel fire.

mannerism that somehow seemed
to suggest Catching" them to-

Some of our local fishermen doth
come into our shop and doth tell of
the wonderful fishing they doth have;
and some of these brothers doth go
it one more than the other regarding
the number and size of the trout
that they doth catch, and l doth
wonder at the wisdom of these men,
for I am no fisherman myself. But
it doth make my mouth water to
hear these men tell how they doth
fry the trout brown with bacon; and
these men doth say that it doth
greatly reduce the number of fish
that they doth bring home with them
by preparing the trout this wey; and
this part of the conversation l doth
believe is so, and one good brother
who was told of a place on the
stream where there were great trout,
found this place with much difficulty
and cast his hook with mighty
stroke and got bite. And when he
got his great fish ashore, behold, it
was a great sucker. But. this good
brother possessed much patience and
became a great fisherman, for
patience doth be great virtue, and
my good wife doth say that I doth
not have the patience of Job, and l
doth admit this, but doth not say so
aloud. And doth think if 1 could
| live my life over again that l would
exercise more patience toward my
fellow man, for patience is like oil
on troubled waters; and doth often
think of the patience that my parents
did exercise toward me when 1 was
a towheaded boy, and thought that
I knew it all. And | doth think
of the Master when he said to the
disciple, "Behold, I will make you
fishers of men," and 1 doth believe if
we aim to influence men in the right
direction we shall be fulfilling this
command, "Let. the little children
come unto me, for of such is the
kingdom of heaven"

SilO Filling Time Soon.

Corn made good crop this year in
most parts of Wisconsin, and the fill
ing of silos will begin within short
time, Corn which is cut and ensiled
too green, or when the kernels are in
moisture and comparatively low in
dry matter. Such silage is apt to be
acid and will mold if the packing is
not done right. On the other hand
siiage made from extra dry mature
corn does not provide the most relish
ing material for cattle, and unless
water is added to it the results will
not be good. Just as the kernels
have dented and begun to glaze is the
best period for making silage. 1t is
not always possible to cut the crop at
the ideal stage of growth, but in any
case the tramping and packing
process must be thoroughly done.
Cutting the material into one-half
inch lengths is preferable to larger
sized pieces as the packing down pro-
cess is thereby enhanced. Air must
be excluded by this thorough packing
process. The walls of the silo should
be looked over for cracks and promi-
nent rough spots which might let in
air or allow air pockets to form.
Straighten the slaves, tighten the
hoops, look we'll to the foundation of
stave silos. and adjust the guy wires.
AS cement staYe or concrete silo
will sometimes need attention on the
inner walls, we may consider giving
the interior light cement wash.
Carbon dioXide gas often forms in
silos during the filling process. 1t is
we'll to test this by lowering a candle
down into the partly filled silo each
morning. Always run the blower to
agitate the ait currents inside the
siIO before allowing anyone to enter
it when rehllIng Wisconsin Farmer.

ROBIN A PUBLIC BENEFACTOR
Hard to Estimate What the Country,

There are robins throughout the

wave Of robin song rolls across the
United States from the Atlantic to
the Pacific. Who does not recognize
this cheering lay as that Of our old
friend, Robin Redbreast2 Neyerthe-
less, ne is not a robin at all. The real
robin is a little red-breasted resident
European bird about the size of blue
bird, and our robin is really large
migrating thrush. But the Pilgrim Fa-
theirs found 1t here, and as 1t reminded
them of the English robin, they named
it robin In memory of the little feath-
cred friend in the old home; and, all
ornithol0gists to the contrary notwith-
standing, the name sticks
One Of the first things the robin
does when it comes home In spring and
settles down for the summer Is to look
for a mate, If not already mated. and
then TO begin to build a nest. AS 1t
raises two or three br0Ods in season,
it must begin early and the nest must
be constructed to withstand storm,
frost and cold. So the little architect
makes the walls Of mud and finishes
and lines 1t with noncOnductive mate
rails to keep in the heat and keep out
the cold. If the weather Is favorable,
the nest is soon built, but If storms pre-
vail it Is long in building Gnd some
times Is forsaAen altogether for an
other constructed under more auspi-
cious skies.
When the little blind, naked. help

and been carefully brooded for time,

NEEDLE RECORDS NO CHANGE
Wrong Idea Generally Held Concern
ing the Action Of the Compass
in Navigation.

The compass needle does not turn
around in passing from one hemi-
sphere into the other. The nOrth-seek-
ing end Of the compass needle has no
greater significance or meaning in the
southern hemisphere than the south
seeking end of the needle has in the
northern hemisphere, a writer ex-
plains. The compass needle Is piece
of magnetiZed steel. 1t has Its posi-
tive and negative poles, or north and
south poles, just like the earth. The
needle and its lines Of force align
themselves with the earth's lines of
force. In the northern hemisphere the
north magnetic pole exerts the domi-
mating influence on the needle, so 1t
points to that pole. The south end
of the needle is disregarded. In the
southern hemisphere the south mag
netie pole exerts the dominating infiu-
ence on the needle and 1t points TO that
pole, the north end of the needle in
this case being disregarded.
The needle does not reverse In going
from one hemisphere to another. The
south end of it becomes the guide in
the southern hemisphere, as the north
end is the guide in the northern hemi-
sphere
