. ,. "TKX-UVtSVt,." GOOD OLD NEBRASKA (ritou wim, mwi'in'h wkkki.v) I was wenry with dark forebodings, hih! weighted with loiuls of griefs My spirits were dull uml lonely, unci vainly I sought relief. I suffered from heat oppressive, and longings soeined nil In vnln; The 8ky was as brass that's molten, and never a sign of rain. I felt in my bones 'twould never bring end to the awful drouth; I wan blue us indigo bluer and awfully down In tho mouth. In fact I cronked like a raven, complained till my throat was sore When all of a sudden a stranger walked in through my otlleu door. "What, hoi" cried the stranger person; "why thus do you loud complain?" 1 said 'twas becauso the corn crop was dying for lack of rain. Then up stood the stranger person, and laughed till his cheeks were red, And spako to me words of comfort and theso wore the words ho said: 'Full forty two years I've been here; I havo farmed here boy and mau; I've tilled her soil and loved it since her history lirst began, And thus I've discovered, partner, though wooks we may fairly roast, It rains llko hell in Nebraska just when wo arc needing it most." And laughing he turned and left me, but going ho left behind A feeling of cheer and comfort, mi ease of tho heart and mind. 1 watched as the stranger person meandered adowd the street, The echoes of lilting laughter resounding with cadence sweat. And watching, the far horizon grew black with a thunder cloud, The lightnings Hashed and shimmered, tho thunders resounded loud. And out of the northwest rushing camo old .1. 1'luv and his host, And it rained like hell in Nebraska just when we were needing it most.

Blcknell Coprrlt bi, 1910, by Auoclattd Llterarr PrM Pamela Hitchcock rearranged the pillow on her mother's chair and seat Ing herself by tho window looked out upon the fast fading day, which was changing Into twilight. Presently she saw the tall, tmgalnjy figure of Abner Drown coming down tho lane. This was no unusual sight, for Abner camo every Saturday evening and had been' coming for n number of years; but this was Thursday. Tho unexpected nesB of this visit find the fact that in every movement of Abner's awk ward flgtiro there was an undeflnablo something, an animation to his gait, that sho had not noticed before, con vinced her that something awful had happened. Sho nroso and ran to throw open tho door. "Abner," she gasped, "what's the mattor? Is somebody hurt?" "No," he replied, and Pamela noted, that an angry flush rushed to his face' and his breath came in short, hard pants, "I Just heard about that fellow that has been coming to see you, I told the boys it wasn't so. la it?" Pamela stood in doubt a moment. Then with slow dignity she drew her self to her full height and answered stiffly: "Abner Brown, J nm surprised. It Is none of your business who comes to see mo. We are not engaged." "Nono of my business," he blurted. "I'll make It my business. I think a man that has been coming steady to see you for years has some right to your confidence." "I have no confidence to glvo," sho persisted. "Pamela!" he gasped In wide-eyed surprise. "Ilrliig Abner In," called a voice from the sitting-room. "Since Mrs. Hitchcock wants me to stay, I believe I will." "I want you to stay, too, Abner." "You do, eh?" hu asked sarcastic ally and stalked Into the house. Pamela noticed her mother's face brighten when Abner entered. "Good evening, Abner, my boy. Let me see, this Is Thursday. Rather early "That's My ualnM," 8ha flatortad. la the week for you?" Mrs. Hitchcock adjusted her spectacles to look at him' quizzically. "I had to go over to Kd tauib's, and It being so close I thought it would be a shame to pass by. Crops are look ing fine." Pamela smiled to herself at his feeble attempt to shift the subject. "It Is a pretty sight to watch the, rows and rows of ripening corn when a mlto of wind is stirring, but I don't, suppose l ll see it niuclt longer, for "Why? You aren't,golng away, Mrs. Hitchcock?" lit own asked In alarm. "Pamela's been " the old voice, quavered and stopped short at a warning glance from her daughter. "Of course, mother, after corn husk ing thoro will be nothing but bare fields, but you are used to that," Pa mela remarked. "Hut there won't bo even bare fields In " sho continued. "Certainly not," Interrupted Pamela., "How Is Kd Lamb's folks? I have; been so busy that I haven't had time to go there lately." "Fair to middling. Ed is talking of, selling his farm," Abner answered, ab-, seutly gazing out of the window to where tho old mill creek wound in and out of tho little valley below. "So aro we," Mrs. Hitchcock said without looking at her daughter. "Pa mela didn't want me to say nary a word about it until we had decided. Though I bellevo she has about made up her mind. But, law me. I don't bellevo In being so close mouthed to anybody llko you, Abner, that J held In my arms when you were a baby. What do you think about if?" "I think it would bo downright fool ish to sell the farm that you have lived on so long. Tuon thero are so, many associations about It that must give you a deal of comfort, The city Is no place for a woman llko you, Mrs. Hitchcock, that has boen used to the broad out of doors." "I know it. Do you hear that, Pa mela?" Mrs. Hitchcock queried, a flush coming Into her withered cheeks, "Yes," Pamela murmured. "Doesn't It change you a mite?" Her Id volco trembled. "No," Pamela answered. "I'm tired f this humdrum llfo of ours, mother; ach day ns colorless as tho others. I want to see something besides Miller's elevator, a few sprawling houses In the village, the town pump and Tom Craig's general store. Just think of It, mother? We own 160 acres of some of the choicest prairie land In Illinois and you and I have never even been to Springfield!" "I didn't know you cared about go ing to such places. Do you mind what, the preachor said last Sabbath about; folks being contented with their lot? I reckon that some people from the. stuffy city would be glad to changu plnreH with you," Mrs. Hitchcock said. "If tho preacher believes In being contented why wasn't he satisfied with the suit the Ladles' Aid society bought him Instead of finding fault with tho cut of It?" Pamela returned, "I never felt called upon to criticize tho minister nnd 1 don't think you, ought to." Mrs. Hitchcock looked at her daughter reprovingly. "I'll Boll my 80, mother, so don't worry," Pamela declared, with an air! of nssurnnce that nearly provoked Ab ner Into a spasm. "Pamela Hitchcock, you don't know what you nro doing! Whut would you' Invest your money In mining stock?" he protested. ' "That's my business!" she retorted. A sharp rap on the parlor door brought Pamela to her feet with a start. "It's Mr. Morris coming for my de cision." "What decision, Pamela about your marriage?" Abner burst out frantical ly, his heavy masculine mind falling to see any significance between the mysterious caller and Pamela's de nil Ing to sell her land. "No, say It Is not, Pamela?" She started to the door. Abner sprang to his feet and caught hold of her arm. t "One mlnuto, before you go to the. door," he cried, his voice choking with emotion. "I want to know if you have gone back on mo?" "No, Abner, you never gave me the chance." "I've wanted to, goodness knows, nil these years, but every time I tried to speak my tongue would get twisted and the nice phrases I had thought out bcfoiehaiid would disappear like magic and I would feel as awkward as a whale on Pike's peak. I've waited hoping that something would loosen my tongue. It has come " "In the guise of a real estate agent who wants mo to trade my 80 acres for city property,' Pamela put In slyly, and glanced at her mother whose anx ious face reflected her feelings. "What a dunce I havo been!" Ab ner stared his astonishment. "Pa mela, I love you. Don't sell the land. Marry -me and I'll take you to Spring field or any place you want to go," ho pleaded. Another knock at tho door threw Abner into a state of greater excite ment. "Answer me. Do you love me?" "Yes," Bhe murmured. Ilia lips were close to hers and with Mrs. Hitchcock nodding approval, he kissed her. Pamela finally went to the door and opened it, but Mr. Morris had grown Impatient and departed. In the fast gathering darkness aha aw a figure at the far end of the Una. But she did not call him back. WORK THAT MUST BE DONE ImaoMiala to Regulate the Hour of Labor That the Farmer Muat Put In. The city man who goes to farming will find that there are times, inter mittent, it Is true, but often sufficient ly prolonged, when he will have to work' as he never did before. It Is of no use for him to say that eight hours a day is long enough for a man to work. It may be long enough for his physical wellbelng, but ho must plow and sow and mow at the right time, and he must make hay while tho sun shines. He is working In collabora tion with nature, and the pace that she sots Is made without regard to the rights of the laboring man or the eight-hour law. On our own farm, for Instance, my sons and I have often been tired fpr weeks together; not the pleasant fatigue that wears off In a night of refreshing sleep, but the deep-seated weariness of overwrought muscles and too long hours that Is present even when one rises In tho morning, and is thrown off only after a few hours of labor when ono has "warmed up" to his work. This is a part of the price that must bo paid for freedom and, tho privilege of working for one's self and not for another. David lluffum In tho At lantic. Work of Ingenious Ants. The spinning ant is found in India, in Ceylon, in the islands of Malacca and in Australia. This ant weaves its nest between two leaves of a tree,' preferably the mango. It begins to build, or to weave, by drawing two( leaves together. To do this it runs a lino of its working material material similar to the spider's thread the, length of the Teaf and around it: While at work It clings to tho leaf with its nails and, at tho same tlmo,( drawB on the leaf nearest to It wlth( Its mandibles. Sometimes the two, leaves suitable for nest building aro( too far apart. Then tho builder calls In its fellow-ants and they help it to form a chain. Each ant clings to the waist of its neighbor by its mandlblos., Thus enchained, they work to build tho nest of their comrade. Harper's Weekly. 1. 1. 1. F.
