ence. She was the more surprised at
his doing this now, because she knew
that Donald must have received from
her father the same instructions as
had been given herself to learn what
ever was possible of Eaton's former
position in life.
Before Eaton's entrance into her
life she had supposed that some time,
as matter of course, she was going
to marry Donald. In spite of this, she
had never thought Of herself as apart
from her father; when she thought Of
marrying, 1t had been always with the
idea that her duty to her husband
must be secondary to that to her
father; she knew now that she had
accepted Donald Avery not because
he had become necessary to her but
because he had seemed essential to
her father and her marrying Donald
would permit her life to go on much
as 1t was.
Donald had social position and a
certain amount of wealth and power !;
now suddenly she was feeling that he
had nothing but these things, that his
own unconscious admission was that
to be worth while he must have them,
thar to retain and increase them was
his only object in life. She had the
feeling that these were the only things
he would fight for; but that for these
he would tight-fairly, perhaps If he
could-but, If he must, unfairly, des-
picably.
She had finished dinner, but she hes
itated to rise and leave the men
alone; after-dinner cigars and the tic-
tion of the masculine conversation
about the table were insisted on by
Blatchford. AS she delayed, looking
across the table at Eaton, his eyes
met hers; reassured, she rose at once !:
the three rose with her and stood
while she went out. She went up-
stairs and looked in upon her father:
he wanted nothing. and after a con-
yersation with him as short as she
could make it, she came down again.
No further disagreement between the
two men, apparently. had happened
after she left the table. Avery now
was not visible Eaton and Blatchford
were in the music-room. With re-
pUgnance against her fathers orders
which she had never felt before, she
began to carry out the instructions
her father had given her.
\ She noticed that Eaton was familiar
with almost everything she had liked
which had been written or was cur
rent up to five years before; all later
music was strange to him. To this
extent he had been Of her world,
plainly, up to five years before; then
he had gone out Of it.
She realized this only as something
which she was to report to her father ;
yet she felt keener, more personal
interest in it than that. Harriet San
tome knew enough Of the world to
know that few men break completely
all social connections without some
link of either fact or memory still
holding them, and that this link most
often is a woman.
Toward ten o'clock Eaton excused
himself and went to his rooms. She
sat for time, idly talking with
Blatchford then, as servant passed
through the hall and she mistook mo-
mentarily his footsteps for those OF
Avery, she got up suddenly and went
upstairs. 1t was only after reaching
her rooms that she appreciated that
the meaning of this action was that
she shrank from seeing Avery again
that night. But she had been in her
rooms only few minutes when her

that 5000 horses were imported into

careless and improper feeding.
The question what is the best
weight and build of draft horses for
general farm use?' was discussed by
members. 1t was agreed that a team
weighing from $500 to $500 was most
desirable. After Grange an old fash

years, especially a large barn for
hay and stock in the year 1913. In
March 1920 the barn roof collapsed

but with the kindness and loyalty
of the neighbors, the roof was again
rebuilt and finished just two weeks
after the accident, in spite of the rain,
snow and freezing winds.
BRIEF HISTORY OF THE FAMILY
The history of this family is woven
of far-ffung and tangled threads. To
ravel them one must go far north
and much farther south. From the
east comes the first strand, two young
captains, brothers by the name OF
Wentworth, commissioned by the King
of England to the governorship of ad-
joining colonies (afterward adjoining
states). Following the thread one
finds the descendants of these men in
all walks of life, tall and slender
men and women, quiet spoken, doors
rather than takers. Then came the
Walkers, strong red blooded people
with brains to plan and courage to
work for the many comfortable homes
they have built up in Maine and else
