'<? i TWO LOYAL LOVERS I By MILDRED CAROLINE GOODRIDGE. It was a festal eve everywhere. The ground was covered with snow and the tnick (lakes still falling. A biting wind blew John Lane before it, but his heart was warm and he Bmlled as ho buffeted the tempest, bearing a goodly stored market basket. Still a bachelor at 28, John Lane was pursuing a brief journey that had a rare tinge of romance to it. He had come to Drookville, a near suburban town, upon the invitation of some old friends the. Ward family. John had known these worthy people for a long while?Miss Muriel Ward particularly. She was two years younger than himself, still she classified in the group of "spinsters.*' "I don't know that 1 am doing a wise thing." mused John, as he strode along. "It's opening up the lost past? lost, because I have never been nble to put enough aside to offer Muriel the home she should have. Ah, me!" ho .sighed resignedly, "the little savings I put by are small. Indeed. Now they have asked me to spend a holiday with'them. I shall see Muriel. Her sunny face will make life the sweeter, 1 but when 1 go back to my humdrum work agaj/i the regret will bo the keener." John had brought a genuine holiday offering with him?a noble turkey, a parcel of toothsome fruit, several boxes of bonbons, some toys for the children. It cheered his sterling soul to be thus generous, even amid his ' necessities. He know (ho . homo at Brookvllle, but they had moved, and he was trying to locate them from their "written directions. "I declare,' he said, halting and puffing from his undue exertions, "I'm quite at sea. This can't be Magnolia terrace. I believe I'll inquire. John started towards a little Isolated house where he observed a light in its rear rooms. He rested his heavy basket on the Btoop and knocked at the door several times. No one responded, and leaving the basket where he had placed it, John started around the houso to pursue his inquiries at the kitchen door. "The mischief!" exclaimed John, as he passed near a frozen water spout. "I Don't Know That I Am Doing a Wise Thing." Ills feet gave way, he was conscious | of a heavy fall, and then lost sensibility. He must have soon aroused, but in a dazed condition. It was at a new spot to which he had wandered, that he came to himself. His arm hung helpless at hiB side, he had forgotten all about the basket, he was seated on a street curb and a village watchman wrb shaking him. "House up. my man," urged this latter individual. "You'll freeze to death here. What's the trouble?" "I have had a fall and lost my senses, 1 guess." rospondod John weakly. "I was bound for the Ward home." "I'll help you there," and in desperate faintness and pain John was welcomed with concerned faces by the family ten minutes later. Old Mr. Ward saw at one? that there | waa something serious the matter with John's right arm. They made him comfortable, Muriel hovering about him like a veritable ministering angel. They sent for a doctor. "You will not be able to use that arm for a full three weeks," was the dictum of the physician. "Hut my work in the city!" "Friend John," said Mr. Ward quiet- 1 ly, "you are going to be patient and happy among us until you are all well. We are going to give you the vacation and rest you have needed for ten years." So John Lane settled down into the fair groove In which circumstances had placed him. Muriel, his solicitous nurse, flitting about him with her sweet womanly ways, and deeoor and deeper grew his love for her. Meanwhile the festal basket which had been left by John on the doorstep )f a house he could not now locate had performed a glorious mission. In that humble cottage lived a Mrs. Ilernard and her three little children. For over a year her husband had been lost, missing?dead, she now feared. He had gone to a remote part of Australia to look up the estate of a dead brother. The months passed by, and no word was received from him.

They had not heard the summons at the front door, but the next morning when the eldest boy went out to seek for some dry branches to burn he discovered the basket. What magic of Joy it proved to them! Mrs. Bernard never doubted that some kind person had thought of them, and secretly provided for their necessities. What a royal feast they had! The nourishing food, the good will of kind hearts Implied roused the woman to new hope and courage and saved her life. *" And then two nights later there burBt in upon them the husband and father, returned. He had been lost, delayed amid great danger, but had come back to the happy home fold a rich man. The evening after that John and Muriel wero seated conversing in the cozy parlor of the Ward home. "I am asking bo much of you, dear," John was saying lovingly. "After waiting so long, we must be patient for another year or two." "What is that to a woman who truly Iovcb?" murmured Muriel. There was a ring at the door bell. Muriel answered the summons. A stranger confronted her. "Is there a Mr. Lane here?" she was asked, and the caller was led into the parlor, where ho grasped John's hand I warmly. "You aro the gentleman who left a basket at my homo a few nights since?" he said. "Unintentionally," replied John, "but If it made anybody happy?" "It saved my wife's life, and I have come to thank you," said Mr. Bernard earnestly. "I found your name on one of the packages. It gave your city address, and from there I traced you here. I must know you better." He got to know Bterllng, honest John Lane so well that he started him in business for himself. And the fullness of joy and happiness complete came at last to the two loyal lovers. (CopyriKht, 1914, by VV. O. Chapman.) "HOMING" INSTINCT OF BEES Their Remarkable Powers Demonstrated by Most Thorough Series of Experiments. Ilenrl Fabre, the naturalist, tells in the Fortnightly Review a characteristic story about Charles Darwin and JtimSelf. Darwin wanted to explain the "homing" instinct of bees, and induced Fabre to begin a series of experiments with that purpose in view. A regular plan of campaign was drawn up. Marked bees were placed in a dark box und carried away from the hive in the opposite direction from that in which they were llnally liberated. The box was repeatedly turned about, so I that the inmates would lose all sense of direction. Every possible means was taken to render useless any known or conceivable method of oh. talning one's bearings. The bees were even placed within an induction coll in the effort to confuse -hem. The result of a long and elaborate series of tests was nil so far as any explanation of the homing power was concerned. In every case from 30 to 40 per cent, of them found their way ; homo without apparent trouble, no matter how confusing the trip away ' from home had been made. The story is characteristic, because it illustrates the thorough way in which the author of the "Origin of ; Species" attacked all his problems. | Ho was not one to merely "opine pret- 1 tily and probably," and let it go at that. He put everything to the test of experiment, and when the answer came out wrong, or didn't come out at all, he "scrapped" the hypothesis as a matter of course Instead of trying to explain away its failure. Women Parasites? Francis W. Crowninshield, of the editorial staff of the Century Magazine, says: "Of course I do not see the married women in this country as 'helpless, parasitical dependents.' That parasite idea is nonsense. There are more weak-kneed, dependent husbands than there are parasitical wives. "It isn't the fault of the American women that she is marrying less frequently and uninarrylng more frequently. It's the fault of the American man. Once a rich man supposed lilmaol# * - iiuioon iv >m t v tuo pi iv Ul n Red Rover. He believed that all he had to do was to throw his handkerchief nt a woman, or slap her on the cheek and she would humbly and thankfully become his wife. Now that sort of man merely bores a woman. And she's not going to pretend that he doesn't. "The modern wife wants a husband who has read Brleux and Arthur Schnltzler. She wants him to know the paintings of Matisse. She looks for a cultivated taste in music, an interest In chamber concerts. For the woman of today is caught In all the cultural currents, all the new social movements. I believe, indeed, that she Is more responsive to them thar the men." Going Down. "The last time I saw you you were all lit up over the fact that you had been let In on tt\e ground floor on a big proposition." Well?" "And now you are looking all broken up. What's the matter?"

A few years ago we lost a lot of highpriced eggs because we placed the thermometer too near the water pipes in the incubator. Instead of setting it on a level with the eggs it was fast- ' encd to a little box, where it could not ! be overturned. We thought it a very clever idea at the time, but found out J too late that we had made a mistake, > Ileing so near the pipes, the heat caused the thermometer to register several degrees too high. That is, it was several degrees higher than the temperature down where the eggs were. Only one chick hatched, and it died. The eggs wero broken and examined. We found that they contained , chicks in nearly all stages of develop-. ment. This taught us a lesson that ! has never beon forgotten, and that was not our last by any means. In the poultry business it is just one lesson after another; and still we don't , protend "to know it all." One never j gets too old to learn, but we never make the same mistake twice, but try to learn something through every mistake made, and that is some consolation when things go wrong. Whatever the trouble is, wo try to find the cause and remove it. A neighbor of ours lost nearly a hun dred young chicks last year because 1 of ignorance or carelessness?probably a little of both. The chicks were not properly cared for and they became very lousy. They had been hatched with hens, but were placed in a small brooder, inclosed in a small yard where not a spear of grass could grow. I In spite of the fact that there was no lack of grass on the place, and also plenty of shnde, not a hi* of either was , provided for the chicks. They would probably all have died | sooner or later, anyway, but as stated , above they got very lousey and the ! owner made a short Job of it by applying lard. This did the work?iit killed all the chicks inside of an hour or two, and it is not at ull likely that nny lice escaped. Now it was not the lard alone that did all this mlBchtef, although it had been applied too freely. This happened to be when * t&g. thermometer registered- 90 degrees ltv. the shadgeii The chicks had no shade eTrceflT the brooder, which was about as good as none; to make matters worse, the owner, after treating the chicks to lard, went to call at a neighbor's house, and TAKE CARE OF THE HARNESS Should Be Cleaned at Least Once Every Year?Frequent Sponging Will Help Appearance.

Take the harness all apart and soak the parts in a wash tub of luke warm water with a handful of washing soda in It. Lot the harness soak fifteen or twenty minutes and then scrub with an ordinary scrubbing brush. When the leather Is nearly dry use edge blacking. It can be obtained from a harnessinaker. If you cannot get It, take half gallon of vinegar and put pieces of Iron in it for three or four days or until the vinegar is a rich golden color. Give the leather a good coat of this fluid, nnd rub the harness thoroughly. Take a quart of neatsfoot oil and n half nint of keroaene Mlv ?nH them and give the harness two coats of this, using it freely. When the oil has dried, sponge the harness with hike warm water and castlle soap. Use the Imported castlle soap, as the oil In It also helps to soften the leather. Harness treated In this way will look like new and give about double wear, and can be kept looking well by sponging with the castlle soap frequently. Control Boll Weevil. Occasionally the theory Is announced that the boll weevil can be controlled by late planting better than by early planting of the cotton crop. The bureau of entomology has conducted many experiments to determine whether late planted cotton will produce a satisfactory crop. The results have all been negative. Shelter In Pasture.

HE CHICKEN FLOCK Kite Rock Chickens. never knew what was taking place in her poultry yard until It was too late to render aid. This reminds the writer of a similar experience that proved only a little less disastrous to the chicks. We had a fine lot of brown Leghorn chicks, nicely feathered out and growing to "beat the Dutch." They were kept in a house never before occupied by any kind of poultry and quite a distance from any other poultry house. Suddenly we became aware of the fact that they were lousey. Several had died after drooping nround with wings dragging. Wo had been dusting the chicks with "louse-killer" and were therefore very much surprised to find their bodies paten into "raw" spots by the lice. The powder had possibly lost its strength. Something had to be done, and done quickly. We could think of nothing, then, but lard, which we applied in generous quantities. None was applied to their heads, as no lice , ..o.d iuuiiu uiL'ie. i u?ir wings were fairly saturated. They had free rango, 1 however, and plenty of shade. Only a | few of the chicks died, but a good many were injured. The lard Beeraed i to take the life out of their wingB; ! they hung down limply and dried that way; the skin between the feathers appeared as dry and lifeless as parchment. We have never used lard or any kind of animal grease on young fowls since. Kerosene is worse. If something of this sort must be used, let ?t he olive oil, vaseline or even castor oil. We have used these with good results. When hunting lice, always raise the short feathers on the outside 1 of the wing, there may be some lice on the body of the chick, but as a rule th%y are most numerous among the feathers on the outside; that is, I under the short feathers amoug tho large wing quills. Don't be deceived. When a chick or turkey poult begins to drop without any apparent cause it is a sign of lice; when you see tho little feathers In the wings either ruffle up or outgrow the j body, look for lice. When their shanks or heads look pale or shrunken, search j for lice. If there are any lice or mites on the premises go after them with a ven- [ geance, they will take possession it given half a chance. Where lice thrive poultry will not. Don't give the rata ss-nhance, either. Last year a rat i crept in at one of our chick house J doors, which was left open a few j inches, and killed nine chicks in less than half an hour. This was caused by lack of forethought. NOTES OF THE DAIRY FARM Dairying Is One of Few Absolutely Permanent Systems of Agriculture ?Name Your Cows. A cow's ancestjy is valuable only so far as it teaches us how to produce her counterpart. Give each cow a name and call her I by it, and you will b^J^prprised to see how soon she will i\n>\e r to it. Surrounding condlPm*9? have much to do with the milk prodffdlng value of any ration. Dairy cows cannot make as good use of whole grain as they can of grain that has been ground. In the generality of cases, heifers with their first calf do not show as high a test of butteMat as they do at a more mature age. A period of rest before freshening will usually produce a larger flow of Tnilk than where the animal is milked close up to calving. A man can better afford to sell butter at the cost of production than to sell grain, that is, when the selling price of the butter li?ludes the feeds and labor at their market-value. Much farm butter soils at a low price, not because it is in itself bad, but because it is mads to suit the { mnnt'i unu uui inc ouyer. A stud"* of the kind of butter liked best in one's market is quite essential ; to high prices?as much so ns a knowledge of the principles underlying good butter-making. Wo can warm water more cheaply I in some other way than through th? cow. The dairy cow's stable should combine warmth, ventilation and dr&te age. Dairy farming is one of the few absolutely permanent systems of agriculture. Do not try to cheat your cows by giving them an ounce less of anything than they will profitably consume, nor crowd them at anytime boyon*} their nofmal capacity.
