MONEY MADE IN LIVE STOCK
IN CENTRAL CANADA.'
W. J. Ilcndcrnon, visiting Scatllo.
Writes the Canadian Oovornmcnt!
Agent at Spokane, Wnuli., nntl BayH:
"I hnvo nolgliborH In Ccntrnl Canada;
raising wheat, barley and oats for tho
past 20 yearn, and aro now getting
from tlio same land 20 to 30 hushclH of.
wheat per acre, 40 to CO bushels oil
oats.
"It was tlic first week of May when Ij
got my tent pitched, hut tho farmers)
nil around had finished putting In,
their crops, ho I only got fifteen acros,
broke nnd seeded They advised mej
as It wan late not to put In much,
wheat, bo I put In tlvo acrco of wheat
nnd ten nciCH oats, one-half aero potu
toes and vegetables. All kinds of vog-.
otahles grow well tip there, Hwcotcorn,
tomatoes, onions, enrrols, peas, beans,,
cabbage. My wheat yloldcd about 20
bushels per acre, for which 1 got 7Cl
cents, otbeis got 80 cents; oats
threshed !15 biiHhels per acre, for which
1 got 3H cents per bushel. You seo r
wnn three weeks late In getting them
in, itt 111 1 was satisfied.
"Prom my observation, there Is moro
money made In t-tock, such aa cattle,
horses and sheep, as prices are high
for such, and it costs nothing to ralso
them, as horses live the year around
out on the giass. In fact, fanners turn,
their work horses out for tho winter,
and they come In fresh and fat In tho
uprlng. Cattlo llvo out seven or eight
months. They mow the prnlrlo grass
and Black It for winter nnd give oat
straw. My neighbors sold steers at
$40 each, and any kind of a horse,
that enn plow, from ?1 50.00 up. I rnlscd
CO chickens nnd G pigs, no pork, chick

ways a good market for anything a,
man ralsos, bo I havo every renson to
bo thankful, besides, at tho end of
three yenrs I get my patent for hotne
Bteud. I heard of no homestead sell
ing for less thnn $2,000, so whoro un
der tho sun could an old man or

The Secret of Poverty.
Dr. Woods Hutchinson of Now

poverty In an nddress at tho Ameri

New York early this month, when ho
said: "What is killing tho people of

A Dire Threat.
It Is woll known that certain vaga
bonds desiro nothing better, especial
ly when the cold weather comes on,
thnn to bo arrested and locked up, In
order that they may bo taken care of

ceeded In getting himself arrested for
vagrancy, and on tho way to tho lock
up ho was so much overjoyed by tho
prospect of not having to sleop In tho
open air that ho behaved somowhut

GOOD CHANGE
Coffee to Postum.
Tho largo army of persons who have
found relief from many chronic ail
ments by changing from coffee to
Fostum us a dally ovcrngo, Is grow
ing each day.
It is only a slmplo question of trying
It for oneself in order to know tho Joy
of icturulng henlth as realized by an
Ills, young lady. Sho writes:
"I had been a coffeo drinker nearly
all my llfo and It affected my stomach
caused insomnia and I wns seldom
without a headache. I had heard about
Fof.tum and how beneficial it was, so
concluded to quit coffee and try It.
"I was delighted with tho change
I can now sleep well nnd seldom over
have headache. My Btomnch has gotten
Htroug and I can eat without Buffering
afterwards. I think my whole, system
greatly benefited by Fostum.
"My brother also Buffered from stom

now, slnco using Fostum ho feels so
much better ho would not go back to

CHAPTER XIII. Continued.
"Ladles and gentlemen," ho shouts.
"Hero Is positively tho last chance to
secure UiIb magnificent or er lam
brykln, made by tho deserving poor
to cover tho restless rich. Competi
tion has been so Btrong that no ono
person has been able to buy It. Tho
only solution would bo a syndicate,
and tho nlniBhouso is opposed to
trusts. Thoroforo I am authorized to"
thon he bent down and whispered:
"Mr. Morton, kindly glvo mo whatever
smnll change you have loft."
The minister looked puzzled, but ho
handed up a half dollar. Van Hrunt
reaches Into tho hut and takes out ono
of tho folded Blips of paper.
"Hero you aro air," says he. "Treas
ure that as you would your llfo. Now,
then, Indies and gentlemen, this 1b a
rnflle. Tho minister Blurts It. Tickets
are anything you plnnBe, provided it'B
enough. Como early and avoid tho
rush."
Thorn waB a kind of gasp from all
the church people. Tho members of
tho sewing clrclo looked nt each other
with the most horrified kind of fnces.
The parson, Mr. Morton, run forward.
"Just a mlutito, Mr. Vnn Hrunt, if
you please," ho sings out.
Hut Van waved him away. Tho sum
mer folks come after them tickets like
a whirlwind, laughing and shouting
nnd passing up dollar bills. 'Twa'n't
hardly any tlmo nforo the hat was
ompty and tho Twin's Jncket pockot
was full of money. Then he fills up
tho hut with moro pieces of paper.
"These are duplicates of tho num
bers sold," Bays he. "Tho drawing
will now take place. Hero, Hill!"
Ho grabs a llttlo Bhavor by tho coat
collar and lifts him up to tho chair.
Old lady Patterson, tho doacon's wife,
set up a Bcream.
"Stop!" she yells. "My child shall
not"
"It takes but n momont, madam,"
says Van, waving to her, calm and
oasy. "Now, Julius Caesar, please take
ono of thoso numbers from tho hat."
Tho boy reddened up and grinned
and looked foolish, but he stuck a
freckled paw In and took out n pleco
of paper.
"Number 11," shouts Van Hrunt.
"Number 14 secures tho tho tapes
try. Who's tho lucky ono?"
Everybody unfolded their papers,
but there didn't seem to ho any 14.
Hartloy had three, but ho wa'n't In It.
"Number 14," Van calls. "Who Is
14? Mr. Morton, you began this.
Where Is your ticket?"
Tho minister looked dreadfully
troubled. "Roally." ho stammered, "I
I It was a mistake, I"
"Hero's yours, Mr. Morton," says a
little girl. "Von dropped It on tho
ground."
The pnrson looked pretty sick. Ho
reached for It, but Van got It first.
"Number 14 It Is," ho says. "Our
esteemed friend, Rev. Mr. Morton, se
cures tho prize. That's as It should
bo. Thrco cheers for Mr. Morton!"
Tho summer folkB glvo tho cheers,
but the church folks looked pretty av
erage wild, I thought.
I forgot how much was In Van
Hrunt's pockot. That bedqullt fetched
In enough money to pretty nigh buy
tho poorhouso Itself.
Tho Twins felt good. They flggered
that they'd matlo a hit at that "lawn
fete."
"Great success, my rnfllo Idea,
wasn't it, skipper," says Van Hrunt,
on tho way home.
I didn't answer right oft. Euroka
spoko up.
"Woll," sho says, "It sold tho bed
qullt, but I wouldn't wonder If It mado
tho now mlnlstor loso his Job. You
seo, 'twas gambling, and that church
Is dreadful down on gambling. Mrs,
Fattorson told mo that sho should
have hor husband call a parish meet
ing right off, I guess you won't bo
Inylted to no moro sales this year."
And wo wa'n't. Poor Morton had
an awful time explaining, nnd tho only
way ho could get out of It wiib to lay
It heavy on tho Twins. Ho had to
preach a sermon giving gambling tits,
and all around town 'twas nothing but
how dissipated and wicked tho Heav-

enlles was. Wo wa'n't lit for decent
folks to associate with.
Hut I ain't boon nblo to learn, oven
yet, that tho bedqullt money wns re
turned to tho ticket buyers.
Van got a long lettor from Agnes
Page a llttlo later, Baying that Bho
hnd heard of him as a "disturbing In
fluence" nnd that sho was shocked and
grieved. He thought 'twas a great
Joko mid didn't seem to care much.
Nato Scudder was glad of the wholo
business. He didn't want nobody else
to bo milking his own pet cows.
Mo nnd Eureka was glatl, too, In a
wny. Wo Judged that Van's being In
disgrace with his girl would help Hart
ley's side along. And In a few days
another Idea begun to develop that,
when I found It out, seemed to mo
likely to help him more.
Eureka told mo that she'd scon a
dress pattern at tho church sale that
sho wanted awful. I asked hor why
she didn't buy it nnd she said
'twas two dollars and a half and sho
couldn't ufford It. Hartley heard her
say It and ho loafed out into tlio kitch
en nnd begun to nsk questions, pump
ing her, sort of qulot, to find out what
Bho dono with her money. After sho'd
gono homo ho snyB to me:
"Skipper, that girl Is robbing her
self to Btipport that old loafer, her fa
ther." "That's right," says I. "Ifa my

opinion that sho ain't never told him
that sho ain't getting that extry two
dollars a week. I guess she pays
every cent Into tho houso."
"It's n shame!" says he. "Can't wo
mako tho old vagabond earn his own
living?"
"When you do," I says, "I'll bellove
that black's the blondo shade of white.
Making Wnshy Sparrow work would
bo as Idg a miracle as tho loaves and
fishes."
Ho thought a spell. "Well, I mean
to look Into tho mutter," ho says. "Sol,
I want you to find out who owns that
apology for a house they live It. Don't
ask Euroka. Wo must keep It a secret
from her or she'll Interfere. And wo
may as well not toll Van, either. He's
so careless that ho might glvo It
away."
"All right." says I. "I'll ask Scud
tier. Ho knows 'most all of every
body's business nnd Iluldy Ann knows
tho rest."
So when Nato come, after breakfast
noxt morning, I asked him.
"What do you want to know for?"
says he, suspicious us usual.
"Oh, nothing. Just curious, Hint's
all."
"They ain't going to move out, aro
they?" Ho seemed mighty Interested.
"No, no!" says I. "Whore'd they
movo to? Think they're going to
Washington to visit tho president or
tho diplomatic corpse?"
"Well," ho says, "you needn't got
mad, 1 didn't know but they might bo
romlug over here. I don't mind tell
ing you. Huldy Ann, my wife, owns
tho place, if you want to know."
1 wns (surprised. Ho was a regular
sand-Hen for bobbing up where you
didn't expect to him.
"Sho does?" says I, "Say, Nato, for
the land Fakes how much moro of this
country belongs to you and Huldy?
And how much did you pay for It?"
Ho wont on with a long rlgmnrolo
nbout a mortgage and a second mort
gage and "foreclosing to protect him
self," aud so on. All I see In It was
moro proofs that lambs fooling with
Nate Scudder was likely to loso, not
only wool, but hoofs, hldo and tul
low, When I told Hartley he seemed real
pleusod.
"That makes it easy," he says.
"Scudder will accommodate mo by do
ing a llttlo favor, won't he?"
"Sure thing!" says I, sarcastic.
"Ain't ho been accommodating you
over Blnco you struck town?"
"Yes," ho says, "he has. Scudder Is
a generous chap."
And ho meant It, too! Why tho
good Lord lets such simple Innocents
as him nnd his chum run around loose
for It but there! No doubt ho has
his reasons. And what would becomo
of tho summer hotels without that
kind?
Him nnd Nate was pretty thick for
the noxt few days. Something was
up, though as yet 1 wa'n't in tho so
crot. Hartley mnde one or two trips
to tho village and he took neither mo
nor Van with him. Ho asked me
whoro tho do.ctor lived nnd a lot more
questions.
Van Hrunt, too, was getting pretty
confidential with Nate. I caught tho
two of 'em off alone by the barn or
somewheics quite a good many times.
They was always whispering earnest,
and when I hovo In sight they'd break
away and net guilty. There was
something up there, too, nnd again 1
wa'n't In with the elect. I begun to
feel slighted.
Hut in a little while Hartley's
secret como out. One day Van took
n notion to go down to Half Moon
Neck gunning after pcops. He wanted
Hartley to go with hlni, but Martin
said no. He said he didn't feel like it,
somehow. Why didn't Van put It off?
Hut Van wa'n't the put-off kind. Ho
was going nnd going right then. Ho
wanted Scuddor to sail him down, but
Nate was too busy, so ho hired Eu
reka's brother, Lycurgus. The two
suited away In the Dora Hassett to be
gone all night. I wa'n't Invited. The
Twins had no use for me ns gunning
pilot.
That afternoon late Hartley comes
over from the main, rowed by Scudder.
The pair of 'em seemed mighty tickled
about something.
"Well, Mr. Hartley," says Nate,
"we'll see you to-morrow morning. It'll
work nil right; you Bee."
"Will he work?" laughs Hartley.
"That's tho question."
"I cnl'late he'll make the bluff,"
snickers Scudder. "I don't know where
he'll sleep nights If ho don't. Lund of
lovo! Did you see his fnco when you
sprung It on him? Haw! haw!"
When wo got to the house Hartley
calls In Eureka.
"You'ro going to stay bore tonight,"
ho says to her. "Mr. Pratt and I have
an errand ashore curly in tho morn
ing and Mr. Vnn Hrunt will be back
soon after, ami hungry, I Imnglne. So
you must bo rendy with his breakfast.
It's all right. Your father tmdor
stands." Eureka was soiuo surprised, but
sho Bald sho'd stay.
All through supper Hartloy waB
laughlag to himself. Just aforo bed-
tlmo he calls mo out on the porch.
x
"Sol," ho snys, "what would surprise
you most in this world?"
"To seo Mr. Vnn Hrunt shoot at a
bird and hit It," says I. Leaving mo
out of nil these gunning trips Jnrred
my prldo considerable.
"Humph!" ho snys. "Ho shot a
dozen tho other day."
"Yes, but 1 didn't seo him shoot
'cm."
Ho laughed. "You countrymen nro
Jealous creatures," ho says. "Woll,
this Is moro surprising than that.
What would you Bay If Mr. Washing
ton Spnrrow consented to go to work?"
I looked at htm. "I wouldn't say
nothing," I says. "I'd send tor a
strait-jacket. What are you talking
nbout?"
Ho turned around In his chair.
"You roiuember I told you I was
going to try to make him?" ho says.
"Woll, I think I've snecoedod. Como
with mo to-morrow morning and seo.
I'm doing It for tho sako of that
plucky daughter of his, and It has re
quired some engineering and diplo
macy. Hut I think I win. Don't men
tion a word to Eureka, though."
I promised to keep mum. I tried
to get him to tell me more, but ho
wouldn't. "Wult and see" was all I
could get out of him.
I turned In a kind of trnnce, ns you
might say. Washy Sparrow work!
Well, I'd have to see him doing It with
my own eyes. I wouldn't bellove oven
a tintype of the performance If 'twas
took by Saint Peter.
CHAPTER XIV.
"The Best Laid Plans."
We left the Island early noxt day,
I
rowed to tho main and anchored tho
skiff. Then me and Hartley walked
up to tho Neck road. I didn't nsk no
questions. He could Bpeak first or bo
Btlll. I'd had my dose. Nobody can
call me nosey.
He did speak first. "Well, skipper?"
lie says, finally.
"Well, Mr. Hartley," sayB 1.
"Why don't you nsk me what my
scheme Is? Aren't you curious?"
"Scheme?" says I. "Scheme? I nln't
much of a schemer, myself. Nice
weather we're having, nln't It?"
Ho laughed. "Sol." says he. "I like
you. You're the right sort you nnd
Scudder."
Drat him! Why did he want to spoil
it all by that last?
"Virtue must be Its own reward,
then, fur's I'm concerned," I says, piet
ty average dry. "I don't seem to bo
getting no other kind. Pity me and
Nato couldn't divide the substantial
more equal."
His face clouded right up. "Money!"
ho suys, dlsguBted, kicking n stick out
of his way. "Don't you for ono minute
bellove that monoy meanB happiness."
"All right," I says. "I ain't contra
dicting you. You've had more ex
perience with It than 1 have. Some
times It seems as If I could manage
to bear up under a couple of thousand
or so without shedding more'n a buck
et of tears; but I'm open to convic
tion like the feller that said he stole
the horse, but they'd got to show proof
enough to satisfy him."
'Twas some minutes nfore he come
out of his blue fit. Then ho says:
"The scheme Is this: I determined
to see what could be done to muko
things easier for tho Sparrow girl.
Tho only solution seemed to bo tho
getting rid of papa."
"IT you'd waited long enough," I
says, "maybe his consumptive dys
pepsy would have saved you tho
trouble."
"I wish I hnd your faith," says he.
"You have. The same kind. Washy's
Is different. His doctrine is faith with
out work. Go on."
"So I tried to think of some wny to
bring It nbout. When you told mo
that Scudder owned the Spnrrow place
I saw my chance. Scudder and I
consulted. He wns willing to lose his
tenants provided he didn't loso the
rent. The rent was nothing; 1
promised to make that good until ivir
season here was over and Eureka
could return home. Hut 1 mnde It
clear that when she did return home
her father mustn't leturn with her.
He must be provided for somewhere
else. Then wo saw the doctor and
Morton the minister. Morton was
somewhat prejudiced, owing to Van's
raflle, but he's a pretty decent fellow
and seemed to think what he cnlled a
good action on my part might offset
even a bedqullt gamble. So between
us wo fixed it up.
"Old Sparrow Is offered n job as
general shoveler and brick carrier
over thcro at the hotel. They're build
ing a new addition, you know. Drown,
tho manager, said he'd take him on,
as a favor to me. He has been offered
tho place. If he doesn't accept, why,
out ho goes. Scudder hns told him he
can't stay in IiIb house any longer.
You should have heen him when we
broko the news lust night."
"S'poso he don't accept," I asks.
"What about the children?"
"They'll be looked out for. Lycurgus
will board at Seudder's. Eureka will
stay with us. Edltha and tho baby
will be roomed nnd fed by the minister.
The others nro to have good boarding
places and go to school. Every ono
Is willing to help the family, but they
won't keep the old rascal. It has
worked out beautifully."
"Hold on a minute," says I. "It's
all right, as a clam. Hut Euroka
won't let her dad suffer even though
sho knows there nln't nothing really
tho matter with him. And who's going
to pay all tho young ones' board? Sho
can't."
"I'll attend to that." says he, Im
patient. "It isn't enough to signify.
And It will bo till settled beforo Eu
reka knows It. The old man will tnko
tho Job."
"I'll bet a cooky ho don't," I says.
"Hut It'll make him scratch gravel ono
wny or 'neither. Hully for you, Mr.
Hartloy! I'm glad I'm along to seo
tho fun."
"Tho fun was last night," says he.
"Caesar! how ho did cough and groan.
And then swear! Hut here's tho rest
of the crowd."
They were waiting for us on tho
corner. Dr. Penrose was there, and
Mr. Morton, nnd Cnp'u Henljah Pound
bony, chairman ot selectmen, und
Scudder, and Peter T. Drown, manager
of tho Old Homo house. They was
all laughing, aud thinking tho wholo
thing a big Joke.
"Mr. Hartley," says tho doctor, "I
wish you wore to ho a permanent
resident. There aro a few moro moro
enses of this kind I'd llko to hnvo you
tackle."
