Lillian's Mysterious Protcge Gazes
 Wildly at AIadce.

I knew very well what Lillian's fiippancy meant. She had careful ly docketed Mother Graham's prob- lem in q cell of her orderly brain, having drawn from me everything l knew about it. She would not speak of 1t - or think of it--again until she saw my mother-in-law and gathered up the missing threads which only the elder woman could supply. Only one question she per mitted herself as she handed the menu card to me.
 When are you going to take Mother Graham back to the farm 2"
 ''The first minute she is able to travel there," I returned. "Of course we don't want 10 stay at the Dur kees any longer than is necessary. You see I didn't tell you that Leila and Alfred have a baby daughter, born the day after Mother Graham had her accident in the woodland" "
 My sainted aunt" Lillian ex- Claimed with a quick grin. What combination. for a darling little fusser, like HA Iluniness; Tow is she taking it?"
 Like the little brick she is," ] returned, with warm remembrance Of the cordial hospitality which little Mrs. Durkee had given US. "You wouldn't know she had an extra soul in the house.
 'Of course not" Lillian agreed cordially. but what a fretting and stewing over her housework ,here'd be when you weren't there 10 see her"
 But I made 1t my business to he there" I said. T brought Katie with me. and I read the riot act 10 Her Flufiness the very first morn ing. compelling her to let us all help with the housework. After that she was like lamb. To tell the truth she's so bound up in that baby I don't believe she knows she has q house.
 That last statement fs mighty hard one to believe" Lillian said dubiousIv. hut I'll take your word for 1t. Now if you'll bend your mas sjve mind to the consideration of that menu I'll take a look at my travelling companion"
 Marion's Disappointment
 She disappeared into the bed room of the suite, returning after 8 minute with the look around her mouth which always spells ease of mind to me. She possesses so per feet poker face" that it was a long time before I discovered that l sometimes could gauge her reac- tions of pleasure or disappointment by the tiny lines around her mouth,
 still sound asleep" she said when she had closed the door be- hind her. Poor thing, As nearly as can make out it's the first time she's closed her eyes in forty-eight hours. I gave her glass of hot milk with the mildest sort of seda- tive in it as soon as I got her UT here. and I'm so glad 1t turned the trick. She needs the rest and l need the time to look into things

A Wife's Confessional
 Adele osrrtsoD' New Phss. REVELATIONS OF A WIFE

She walked over to Marion and stooping brought her back from the dreamland of her book to the reality of the hotel sitting room.
 Come. sweetheart" she said, "come and pick out your luncheon menu, so we can order it sent up here"
 Why Muvvy! l thought we were going to eat down in the grill"
 Her mother frowned and Marion quickly tried to retrieve the blunder.
 But 1t will be ever so much bet ter up here by ourselves" she said She was too honest and transpar- ent, however, 10 drag much convic- ton into the words, and I knew. as well as did her mother how bitter was her disappointment at the fad ing of that dream cherished so strongly by suburban and country children of meal in a city res taurant.
 T have a scheme" spoke quick ly, authoritatiycly my eyes fixed on Lillian's with a determination that she comprehended. I'd really like my luncheon up here, and I'll stay 10 take care of things while you and Marion go down to the dining room and have leisurely lunch con-"
 Don't Push Me Too Far."
 But" Lillian began, then grinned in equalization us l turned on her in melodramatic wrath.
 "R-r-emember Cousin Egbert," I mraphrased. Don't push me too far"
 T have this time" she said. Give me your order and I'll take it down to the dining room. Run into the bathroom and make your- self pretty. Marion
 With a smile of delight at us both her young daughter skipped away, and Lillian turned to me, frowning,
 This is awfully thoughtful of you, Madge," she said, but I don't half like it. Of course I'm sure she'll sleep until I come back, but if she doesn't -- well -- she's harm less - I'll have to leave the thou sandths chance of her waking up to you"
 "I'll take it." I said stoutly, but when Lillian had departed with her delighted daughter trying to walk sedately beside her I did not feel nearly so brave as my assertion to Lillian had appeared. The waiter came with my luncheon and l made fairly good meal, setting the tray aside when l had finished and cross ing to the window for a casual glance into the street below.
 It was the slightest possible ncse which whirled me around from the window and brought me face 10 face with Lillian's mysterious pro- tege, who was advancing slowly into the room with something of the odd manner of a sleep walker. She was looking directly at me, and when she caught sight of my face she recoiled a step and then sprang toward me, crying wildly
 Tt is you, you, you. What have you done with him?"

grain was harvested before wec
weather began. Irrigated wheat and
oats have yielded above average, the
oats are slightly colored. Wheat
and oats have filled extra well. Hay
was extra heavy this year, both alfal-
ia and wild. About / per cent Of al
falfa was lost by wet weather but
the fetal amount on farms is at
least 10 per cent greater than last
year. Price around Sc in stack is
prevailing. Pea growing is on the
increase. About 80 carloads Of 3d.
600 pounds each were shipped this
year. Quality is extra good being
free from weevil and well matured.
Due to excellent range during sum-
mer, cattle and sheep come in with
more flesh than usual, The abund-
ant supply Of cheap hay has helped
to increase price of stock and feeding
cattle. Dairying is gradually devel-
oping in the county and is especially
attractive this winter. Farmers gen
orally are more prosperous and op.
timistie this year than since the wal
period.

abled farmers to get much of their
grain to market. All small grain
threshing done except small lots Of
alfalfa and sweet clover seed. Cattle
shipments complete with a consider
able number of hogs still to go to
market.
Fergus: It is estimated that the
acreage of winter wheat was about
so per cent to 60 per cent of nor
nal, the decrease being due to very
dry weather early in the fall and fol-
lowed by an especially stormy peri
cd through September and October,
which prevented seeding the usual
acreage. Condition Of winter wheat
is generally good, although some Of
the later seeded fields have made
very little growth this fall. Coed
weather during November has enabl-
ed farmers to complete threshing op-
erations in practically all parts Of
the county along some Of the fOcthill
districts. Cattle shipments have been
heavy, as stockmen have been reduc,
ing their herds rather closely due to
better prices and to a smaller surplus
of feed than in former years. Con-
siderable interest is manifested in
~dairying, this being stimulated by
high prices Of dairy products and a
general tendency for more diversifi,
cation on farms.
Gallatin: With the exception of
the last two weeks in November, very
little threshing Of small grains has
been possible since the middle of Sep
tember, due to wet weather. At the
close Of the month approximately sc
per cent of small grains remained un.
threshed. The potato crop was har.
!. vested without any loss, but approx.
imately 10 per cent Of the seed pes
acreage has been badly damaged
Comparatively small acreage Of win
