It was a glad home-coming to the

sur.ngly It was a natural reaction
after what her husband had under

as anyth, ng else. Howard worried
about his father, with whom he was
only j. rtiallv reconciled; he worried
about his future, which was as pre
carious as ever, and most of all he ;
worried about his wife. He was dot
sir "ant of the circumstances which
had brought about his release, and
whiie liberty was sweet to him. it had
been a ••-rrible shock when he first
h--urd that she was the woman who
had visited rnderwood's moms. He
refused to believe her sworn evidence.
How was it possible? Why should she

was there? It was preposterous. Still
the small voice rang in his ears—per

an explanation Then she told that
she had perjured herself. She was not

that It was not his wife. With that
he was content. What did he care for

Weeks passed, and Howard's health j
did cot Improve. He had tried to find

every day brought Its obligations
I which had to be met. One morning
\nnie was bustling about their tiny
: dining room preparing the table for
. their Irugal luncheon. She had just j
! placed the rolls and butter on the |
rsMe. and arranged the chairs, when |
there came a ring at the front door

frequent as to cause surprise, so. wlth
■ out waiting to remove her apron, she
went to the door and opened It. Dr.

“All right, doctor. He had a splen

; Seriously, he went on: “Mrs. Jeffries,
j your husband needs a change of scene.
He's worrying That fainting speU the
other day was only a symptom. I'm
afraid he’ll break down unless-1”
‘Tcleas what?” she demanded, anx
iously.
He hesitated for a moment, as If un
willing to give utterance to words he
knew most Inflict pain. Then he
quickly continued:
“Tour husband Is under a great
mental strain. His Inability to sup

1 was felting to hie father last sight.
"And what?” she demanded, draw
ing herself up. She suspected what
was coming, and nerved herself to
meet It.
“Now. don't regard me as an enemy." j
said the doctor in a conciliatory
tone. "Mr. Jeffries inquired after his
son. Believe me, he's very anxious
He knows he dlfl the boy a great in
justice, and he wants to make up
for it."
"Oh. up does?" she exclaimed, sar
castically.
Dr.Bernstein hesitated for a moment I
before replying. Then he said.lightly: |
“Suppose Howard goes abroad for a
few months with his father and
mother?”
“Is that the proposition?" she de
manded.
The doctor nodded.
"I believe Mr. Jeffries has already
spoken about it to his son." he said.
Annie choked back a sob and. cross
ing the room to conceal her emotion,
stood with her back turned, looking
out of the window. Her voice was
trembling as she said:
"He wants to separate us. I know.
He'd give half his fortune to do it.
Perhaps he’s not altogether wrong.
Things do look pretty black for me,
don't they? Everybody believes that
my going to see Underwood that night
had something to do with his suicide
and led to my husband being falsely
accused. The police built up a fine ro
mance about Mr. Underwood and me
—and the newspapers: Every other
day a reporter comes and asks us
when the divorce is going to take
place—and who is going to institute
the proceedings. Howard or me. If
everybody would only mind their own
business and let us alone he might
forget. Oh, I don’t mean you. doctor.
You're my friend. You made short
work of CapL Clinton and his confes
sion.’ i mean people—outsiders—
strangers—who don't know us, and
don't care whether we're alive or dead;
those are the people i mean. They
buy a one-cent paper and they think
it gives them the right to pry into
every detail of our lives.” She paused
for a moment, and then went on: “So
you think Howard ia worrying? I
think, so. too. At first I thought it
was because of the letter Mr. Under
wood wrote me, but I guess it's what
you say. His old friends won't have
anything to do with him and—he’s
lonely. Well, I’ll talk It over with
him—”
"Yes—talk it over with him.”
“Did you promise his father you'd
ask me?” she demanded.
"No—not exactly,” he replied, hesi
tatingly.
Annie looked at him frankly.
“Howard’s a pretty good fellow to
stand by me in the face of all that's
being said about my character, isn’t
he, doctor? And I'm not going tn
3tand in his light, even if it doesn’t
exactly make me the happiest woman
in the world, but don't let it trickle
into your mind that I'm doing It for
his father's sake."
At that moment Howard entered
from the inner room. He was sur
prised to see Dr. Bernstein.
"How do you feel to-day?” asked the
doctor.
“First rate! Oh, I'm all right You
see, I’m just going to eat a bite. Won't
you join us?”
He sat down at the table and picked
up the newspaper, while Annie busied
herself with carrying in the dishes.
“No, thank you," laughed the doctor.
“It's too early for me. I've only just
had breakfast 1 dropped in to see
how you were.” Taking up his bag,
he said: ‘Good-by! Don’t get up. I
can let myself out"
But Anuie had already opened the
door for him, and smiled a farewell.
When she returned to her seat at th*
head of the table, and began to pour
out the coffee. Howard said:
' He's a pretty decent fellow, isn't
he?”
“Yes.” she replied, absent-mindedly,
as she passed a cup of coffee.
"He mr.de a monkey of Capt. Clin
ton all light," went on Howard. “What
did he come for?”
"To see you—of course.” she re
plied.
“Oh. I'm all right now." he replied.
Looking anxiously at his wife across
the table, he said: "You're the one
that needs tuning up. I heard you
crying lest night. You thought l was
asleep, hut I wasn't. I didn't say any
thing because—well—I felt kind of
blue myself."
Annie sighed and leaned her head
on her hand. Wearily she said:
"I was thinking over all that we’ve
been through together, and what
they're saying about us—”
Howard threw down his newspaper
impatiently.
"Let them say what they like. Why
should we care as long as we'ra
happy?”
His wife stalled sadly.
"Are we happy?" she asked, gently.
"Of course we are." Vepiled How
ard.
She looked up au«l smiled. It was
good to hoar him say sc. Lut did he
mean it? Was she doing right to
stand In the way of his career? Would
he not be happier if she left him? He
was too loyal to suggest it, but per
haps in his heart he desired it. Look
ing at him tenderly, she went on:
"I don't question your affection for
me, Howard. 1 believe voti love me.
but I'm afraid that, sooner or later!
you'll ask yourself the question all
your friends are asking now. the ques
tion everybody seems to be asking."
"What question?” demanded How
ard.
"Yesterday the bell rang and a gen
tleman said he wanted to see you. I
told him you were out. and he said
I'd do just as well. He handed me a
card. On it was the name of the news
paper he represented.”
Well?”
"He asked me if It were true that
proceedings for a divorce were about
to be instituted. If so. when? And
could 1 give him any information on
the subject? 1 asked him who wanted
the information .and he said the read
ers of his paper—the people—l believe
he said over a million of them. Just
think, Howard! Over a million peo
ple. not counting your father, your
friends and relations, ail waiting to
know why you don't get rid of me, i
why you donl believe me to be as bad
as they think f am—”
Howard raised his hand for her
to desist.
“Annie—please!” he pleaded.
“That's the fact, isn't it?” she
laughed.
"No.”
His wife’s head dropped on the table.
She was crying now.
“I've made a hard fight. Howard.1*'
she sobbed, "but I’m going to give up. 1
I'm through—I'm through!”
Howard took hold of her hand and :
carried it to his lips.
"Annie, old girl." he said, with some
feeling. ”1 may be weak. I may be I
blind, but nobody on top of God's green
earth can tell me that you’re not the:
squarest. stralghtest little woman that'
ever lived! I don’t care a damn what
one million or eight million think.
Supposing you had received letters
from Underwood, supposing you had
gone to his rooms to beg him not to
kill himself—what of it? It would be
for a good motirq, wouldn't it? Let
them talk all the bad of you they want.
1 don’t believe a word of it—you know
I don’t.”
She looked up and smiled through
her tears.
‘‘You're so good, dear," she ex*
claimed. "Yes, 1 know you believe in
me.” She stopped and continued, ad
ly: "But you’re only a boy, you know.
What of the future, the years to
come?” Howard's face became se
rious. and she went on: "You seo
you've thought about it, too. and you're
trying lo hide it from me. But you
can’t. Your father wr.nts you to go
abroad with the family.”
"Well?"

Recovery of Lost Standards.
A curious experiment was once
made to determine whether a lost
standard could be recovered by purely
personal efforts. The assumption was
made that the standard of length was
lost One hundred operatives and oth
ers accustomed to dealing with meas
urements were asked to give by esti
mate their Ideas of what the given
standard was—in other words, to
guess at length of the meter. It was
found that the guesses were most ac
curate for lengths of about sir Inches
—that small lengths were underesti
mated and larger ones were overesti
mated. Taking the average of the
100 subjects the result varied but a
few one thousandths from the truth.
HOG RAISER SHOULD CONSIDER
WALLOW AS REAL NECESSITY
Concrete Affair Proves Practical Scheme for Killing Vermin
and Does Away With Expense of Dipping Tank—
Crude Oil on Water Keeps Animal’s
Skin In Good Condition.
_
The hog has been imposed upon
more or less by the expression “as
dirty as a pig." for. if given an oppor
tunity, no other animal about the farm
is more cleanly within his abode than
is the porker. Being unable to per
spire, the hog naturally suffers from
warm weather more than other ani
mals. and because of the lack of a
cleaner place in which to cool his
body he takes to the. mud.
The concrete hog wallow is an im
provement which every hog raiser
should consider an absolute necessity.
The hogs find great satisfaction in the
concrete wallow. lying down in the
water, excepting in quite cold weather.
crude oil remains on the surface of j
the water, and therefore does not es
cape into the outlet.
The wallow should be located near
the water supply, whether this con- :
sists of a tank or spring, if the water :
is received from a tank, the wallow !
may be emptied and refilled at inter I
vals. the intake and outlet ordinariij |
being kept closed. If the supply is
not limited the water may be allowed
to flow through the pool continuously I
Where necessary, provision should be
made for draining the outlet Into the j
nearest line of tile.

The wallow proves a very practical
scheme for killing vermin when a
quantity of crude oil or other disin
fectant is put in and the intake and
outlet stopped. This does away with
the expense of a dipping tank and
the trouble of dipping. Many farmers
keep a small amount of oil in the wal

BALANCED FEED
FOR LIVE STOCK
Few Farmers Understand Feed*
laj and Medicinal Value 01
Either Blood or Lin
seed Meal.
(By E. C. GLITZKE.*
Few farmers understand the feed
ing and medicinal value of either
blood meal or linseed tne&i. Perhaps
no other food contains the necessary
food element in such concentrated
torm.
In order to be successful in their
use one must thoroughly understand
their composition, for the one is ex
actly oposite. both in medicinal and
food value, from the other.
Blood meal is a highly concen
trated form of protein, that most val
uable of food elements—the part Irorn
which animals receive their muscles.
Where much corn is fed some blood
meal should be added in order to
balance up the ration, for corn is very
rich in fat.
Such young stock as pigs, calves and
colts very often get the scours trom
overfeeding, but a few doses of blood
meal will correct the bowels at once
and carry the animal sarely through
this dangerous disease.
In the ease of very young stock
that follow their mother it should be
given to the dam and the young will
get the benefit of It through the milk.
In all other cases give it directly to
the young stock in such quantities as
may be needed to suit the size of the
animal and severity of the case.
Linseed meal is exactly opposite in
all its properties. It has a tendency
to loosen the bowels, therefore it is
Unseed meal is very rich in fat—the
very valuable in cases of constipation,
food element that gives heat and
energy to the stock.
Where any rood deficient in fat is
fed to the stock a quantity of linseed
meal should be added to balance up
the ration. ^
Hand-fed calves are usually fed on
skimmed milk. Now the fat of the
milk has been taken out by the sep
arator and therefor* the protein re
mains in excess of all other elements.
A small quantity of linseed meal red
in the milk will balance up the ration
and make it practically as good as the
whole milk.
In cases of constipation in very
young stock that follow their mother
it should be given to the dam. as the
young will get the benefit of it through
the milk.
Where these two articles are kept
on hand the farmer need have no
tear of either constipation or scours j
in his stock, for these two articles
act exactly as described and no evil j
results need be feared from their i
constant use.
New Cockerels.
If your young chicks do not show
the quality you expected, make up
your mind to spend Trom $10 to $25
jn new cockerels next winter.

! in either end. This will make 60
pounds when both ends are dumped.
As the register works on every dump,
it registers 60 pounds or one bushel
of wheat.
Lice and Mites.
Ft>r some years we have known of
j the use of moth balls for prevention
i of the ravages of lice and mites on
; poultry and now are able to speak
from experience, says a writer in an
exchange. We have used them in the
nests of setting hens, as high as
three balls in a nest, and find them
a cheap, effective and easily applied i
I remedy. No harm results from their |
use to either hen or chicks. We used
them tn settings of high-priced eggs
to test our faith. We also keep them
in and about the roosts tied in rags
1 and have neither lice nor mites on our
place. One neighbor lest 400 chicks
irom lice because he feared to use
' moth balls.
Vitality of Weed Seeds.
Thirty years ago Dr. \V. J. Beale,
professor of botany at the Michigan
agricultural college, buried in a box
in the ground 20 varieties of weed
seeds to test their vitality. Of these j
more than five varieties were found to ‘
be alive and quick to grow at the j
end of the thirty-year dormant period. !
Green Food for Turkeys.
Although the turkeys can pick up
as much green food as they like when
at liberty, this ts not enough, neither
is it of the right sort, and it is de
cidedly adt antageous to provide them
with green food.
Proper Feed for Fowls.
The most successful poultry raisers
realize the Importance of feeding
their fowls properly balanced rations,
and it is sare to say that no one can
attain the highest success with poul
try unless the right kind and the right ■

KEPT CONTENTED
Dairy Animal Mast be Catered
to if Best Results Are to
Be Secured—Three
Essentials.
Among the (actors that the country
man who feeds animals, whether tor
growth or for product, finds of basic
importance, are the following:
Individual preference on the part of
the animal must be catered to it the
best returns are secured. The animals
must be satisfied, and their likes and
dislikes are almost as pronounced as
in the human family. Early stockmen,
and particularly those handling large
numbers of animals, ignored this fac
tor; but. under modern high pressure
conditions, it is profitable practice to
take the question of Individuality into
consideration. In the sncceasful dairy
each cow must be red according to
her Individual needs and humor, be
cause only a contented, satisfied ani
mal gives the maximum milk flow.
The second fundamental Is palatabtl
*
tty. Experiments nave conclusively
proved that feed the animal likes will
do it the most good. There must be
variety to the ration to keep up the
appetite and to stimulate digestive pro
cesses This is where corn ensilage
has its great merit. As a salad with
a pungent odor and characteristic
sharp flavor, it is especially an appe
tizer and keeps the digestive processes
in vigorous working order.
In the third place, the feed must be
ample in every particular. A deficit in
one of the essentials for growth or pro
duction. whether protein, carbohy
drates, fats or ash. is a weak link in
the chain which may make the entire
feeding system ineffective.
Nothing is doing more to Improve
the methods of feeding than the in
creasing cost of feed stuffs. The stock
man must get larger returns rrom the
feeds he usee, and this will compel
him to study the science of animal
feeding and pat his practice upon the
right basis.—Saturday Evening Post.

WANTED TO BE AN AVIATOR
Missouri Girl Evidently Very Much in
Earnest in Her Desire to Nav
igate the Air.
Mr. Claude Grahame-White. the fa- t
mous English aviator, is constantly
besought by young women to teach
them to become aviators. Many make
application by letter. One of these
letters reached him the other day
from a point in Missouri. Cleared of
its errors in grammar, spelling and
capitalization, it read something like
this:
"Oh. Mr. Grahame-White, teach me
to be a 'planer.' 1 saw one of them at
Kansas City, and I think it is Just
heavenly. I would like to run a
Wright monoplane or a Bleriot bi
plane. but If you have a better flyer
I would try that. 1 think l would look
cute running a baby flyer. Pa says he
wouldn't mind my having a /baby one.
Couldn’t you bring one out here for a
week or so and show me how to run
it? I assure you a good time?”
Mr. Grahame-White was compelled
to decline thg young wotdan's kind In
vitation.
Some Mosquitoes.
•‘Yes,” saia the traveler who had
just returned from South Africa. “I
was one day so annoyed by mosquitoes
that I was compelled to take refuge in
an old iron safe which lay discarded
on tte veldt.
“My first emotions of joy at my
happy deliverance were hardly over
when the mosquitoes, scenting me, be
gan to drive their stingers through
the safe. Fortunately, I had a ham
mer in my pocket, and as fast as their
stingers came through the iron I
clinched them, until at length such
a host of them was fastened down in
this way that, when they started to
fly away, they carried me and that J
safe miles.
‘‘Then, one by one, theV died with
the exertion, and I was able to come
out with safety. Yes, wonderful
things happen in foreign parts.”—
Ideas.
Overheard in Venice.
“Isn’t it romantic, John, dear,” said
she. as they sat in the little Venetian
garden, “to sit here and listen to these
Italian troubadours singing their bal
lads bathed in the moonlight?”
“Yes, dear,” replied John, with a
deep-drawn sigh. “But I sometimes
wish they'd bathe in something be
sides moonlight, don't you. It migbt
less romantic, but it would be u
darn sight more hygienic."—Harper s
Weekly.
Let me fail in trying to do some
thing rather than sit still and do noth
