realize his and their own dreams. It
would noed no years of wooing to molt
Hoso from stony realstanc.0. Nobody
had been sacrificed.
Ho felt a Ecnse of grntltndo toward
Uerny. Down In his heart bo wns
conscious of a stirring of something
that was kindly, almost affcctlonato,
toward hor. It did not require a great
stretch of Imagination lo flo himself
and her ns two knowing, world-batter
ed roguos who hnU combined lo lot

ethics. Thoy bad a mutually low es

uuscrupulousuoss, a daring courage
that never faltored. In fact, ho waB
sorry ho had not given Horny tho
whole flity thousand dollars.
"Sho could have got It out ot mo,"
ho said to himself, pondering pensive
ly. "If she'd stuck out for It I'd have
given It to her And she might just
as well have had It "
That evening for the first time In
nearly three years Domlnlck Hynn
dined with his mother In the great
dining-room of the Hynn mansion.
Cornelia was out with Jack Duffy, so
Mrs. Hynn hnd her boy all to horself
nnd she beamed and glowed and gloat
ed on him as ho sat opposite hor,
tho reddened light of the candles fall
ing oqjils beloved, fnmlllar face.
After dinner they went Into the sitting-room,

they sat before the flreplnce with the
portrait of the late Cornelius Ryan
looking benignly down on them. They
did not talk much. Tho subject of
tbe young man's marriage bad been
thoroughly gone over In the after
noon. Later on, his mother would ex
tract Irons him further particulars,"
till sbe would be as conversant with
strife. They sat close together, star-
Here, Side by Side, Thoy
ing Into space, now and then dropping
ono of the short disconnected sen
tences that Indicate a fused, under
standing intimacy. Tho young man's
body was limp In his chair, his mind
lulled In tbo rcBtorntlve lethargy, the
suspension of activities, that follows

shuddorlngly from tho past, nnd did
not seek to penetrate tho future. Ho
rested In a torpor ot rollef through
which a dreamy sonso ot hnpplnoss
came dimly, ns It In tho faintest, most
dellcnte whispers.
His mother's musings wore definite
nnd practical. She could now mako

on her wedding day nnd Dopilnlck'i

enough. Hho would go down to-mor-row
morning nntl boo her lawyer
nbout It.
At the snmo hour, In tho houso ol
tho other rich man, tho Donnnzn
King, having drhen tbo servants from
tho room with violent words that did'
not Indlcalo bad humor bo much as
lilgh spirits, told his daughter the
story. Ho told It shortly, hardly
moro than the main facts, nnd when II
was concluded, forboro to make com
ments or, In fact, to look at her. It
was a great deliverance, but ho was
not quite sure that his darling would
experience the frank, unadulterated
ioy that had possessed both hlmsoll
nnd Mrs. Hyatt without restraining
qualms. Ho did not know what to
say to Rose. There wore mysterious
complexities In her character that
made him decide to confine bis state
mont lo a recital of fncts, eliminating
thoso cnndld expressions of feeling
which he could pormlt himself when
talking to Mrs. Hynn or Uerny.
As soon as ho had told It nil ho

Interview. His daughter rose, tog,
pale and silent, nnd bo put his arm
round hor shoulders nnd pressed her
ngnmst bis cheat In n goodnight hug,
Sho klssod him and went up stairs to
her own looms, nnd ho returned to his
arm-chair nt tho end of tho dining'
tnble. Here, ns wns his wont, ho sat
smoking and pondering, turning over
In his head the various aspects of the
curious story and its unexpected out
come. Once, as tbo memory of Horny
weeping into his hnndkorcbief recur
rod to hltn, he stirred uneasily and
muttered to himself:
"Why didn't tho damned fool stick
out for the whole fifty thousand? I'd
havo given it to hor ns soon as not."
Meantime the storm center, the fo

gers nnd fears of this little group
had circled, was speeding eastward
in the darkness of the early night.

SOME REMINDERS
A New Seedling Peach
(By BHSSID U ri'TNAM)
Whenovor wo boo n farmer, partic
ularly in the poach belts, buylug
punches, wo feel that ono part of his
education lias been neglected.
There nro scores of communities in
which about one-half of tho residents
grow their own peaches and tho other
half buy from them nnd then emit n
wall that they cannot grow peaches
themselves.
Poaches porhaps do boBt on sandy
soil, but n good clay soil, thoroughly
entlched and cultivated Is now grow
ing In mnny part of tho country excel
lent fruit. ,
No matter how thrifty our peach
orchard may bo constant planting is
ncccssnry to keep it thoroughly up
to tho mark because they develop and
maturo rapidly and are, therefore,
short-lived. Poach trees decay moro
than any other fruit tree.
No reason now why fruit should not
go to market packed In tho most at
trnctivo manner. Boxen and hampers
nro now being mndo of paper and aro
just as cheap as wood.
Tboro Is almost as 'much In tho sell
ing of tho fruit as in raising it nnd
fruit that Is well packed In attractive
packages always brings tho best
prices.
It is a sad mistake to plant young
trees In tho midst of old and worm
eaten trees, particularly when no at
tention Is paid to tho eradication of
Insects.

Thero Is a mystorlous diseaso bo
coming vory prevalent throughout the
country at largo of which ns yet com
paratively little is known. Its effects
are apparent nnd familiar in many
sections, but its cause has not been
definitely determined. The name "root
knot" would be tho most natural ono
by which to designate It, but ,ln using
the term It Is liable to be confused
with another disease due to an entire
ly dlfforont cause. Tho nnmo "Crown
Gall" has been applied to it in Cali
fornia and hence will probably be
retained though the knotty growths
aro not confined to the crown of tho
plant. It Is characterized by a rough,
knotty growth nt tho surfneo of the
ground. This growth usually encircles

of that kind. It takes n little norvo

How many fine orchards wo hnvo

power to protect themselves from

Tho ground newly set trees should
bo firmed frequently for at least a
year as otherwise they are apt to bo
blown out ot line by the strong
winds.
Do not bo afraid to thin tho fruit
ci tho trees. Rub off the apples and
peaches until ono Is left every five
or six inches. It takes grit to' do
this, but you will havo bettor and
larger fruit if you will follow the plan.
Orchard .soil must bo rich in organic
matter and for that purpose it for no
other clover crops are valuable.
Orchard ground should not bo cul

cultivation keeps the sap running and
tho trees must have tlmo to stop
growing and harden before winter

lieved to be the result of Injury to tho

more or less commonly known in many
flections, and doubtless occurs through
out the greater portion of tho United
States.
Tho only treatment that can bo rec
ommended at present is to vigorously
excludo all affected plants when set
ting. No ono can afford to plant such
trees under any circumstances. Tho
risk is too grent and tho chanco of
over getting any profitable return
from them far too small. Of courso
It is always desirable that the trees
or plants should be obtained from nur
series where tho diseaso does not ex
ist, but it is not always possible to do
this. Tho noxt best thing to do is to
burn every trco in tho orchard found
to bo affected.

10 IT RIGHT TO ADVERTISE COCA
COLA?
Men who play tho wily gamo of poli
tics havo discovered that tho best way
to distract the attention of tho publlo
from their own shortcomings is to
mako a loud-mouthed sensational at
tack upon someono else. As tho cuttle-fish
eludes Its pursuor by clouding
tho surrounding water with tho con
tents of Its Ink sac, so tho political ad
. enture. takes advnntago of tho Igno
ranco and prejudices of tho people to
escapo from his Indefensible position
by .nuddying tho waters of publlo
opinion.
l case In point Is tho recent attack
made upon tho religious press for
carrying Coca-Cola advertising. This
. ttack was mado b a politician who
vus supposed tc be an export in chom
try but whe, having brought a .suit
-gainst tho Coca-Cola Company, 'was
humiliated by having to acknowledge
that 0 could not qualify as nn export.
ho court decided in favor of tho Coca
Cola Company rt It was clearly shown
that the only essential difforenco be
tween Coca-Cola and coffeo or tea is
that the former contains only about
halt as much caffelno ns the latter and
that tho flavor is different.
The question as to whether it Is right
to advertise Coca-Cola scorns to resolve
itself thereforo into tho question as to
