"Here comes 8arn, carrying a large bundle" "If wo should wrlto home," said Anne, who was looking over her shoulder, "that tho fastidious Sara Woolworth had walked through the streetB of London with such a burden, they would think it wasn't truo." "Well, wo shan't wrlto It," said Bettl, succinctly. "I wouldn't let them know how you two dear things are economizing so that I can stay for anything In the world." "Delighted," said Anne lightly, and leaned down to kiss Bettl, who was little and dark. Sara came up the stairs two at a time. "Such a feast," she cried, radiantly. "I found a bargain In the bake shop. Half a freshly roasted chicken with lots of gravy." "We mustn't be too extravagant." said Anne. "Well, I'm simply starved," Sara said, "and besides I've had great luck. Look hore." She unrolled tho large parcel and displayed several rolls of paper all the materials for flower-making. "I stopped at tho parish house on my way home," she said, "to ask the ladles if they couldn't sell some of my water colors at their fair. They were tnlklng about decorations. They couldn't nfford fresh flowers, so I sug gested a 'Itose Festival,' with paper roses everywhere. And they Bald they would pay me for, my work, and they were so pleased that they called In the curate, Mr. Griffith, and oh, girls you should see him!" The others demanded. "Why?" "He's different from most of the men over here," Sam said slowly, "and and, If 1 wcro nt all romantic, I should say that In a poor London curate I hnd met my fate." Dettl exulted. "I knew It would hap pen some day. You've always scorn ed tho men who loved you, and now It's your turn." Sara Blghud. "I wish It were. But I am perfectly sure he never thinks of a woman. His mind secmB to bo on his poor and his parish. He didn't talk of anything else." "Some day he'll talk about you." Dettl prophesied. "They all do." "No such luck," Sara mourned. After supper, while tho girls were deep In their pretty tnsk, there came a knock at the door. "Is Miss Woolworth hero?" asked a deep voice, and Sara flushed as Bet tl ushered In a tall gentleman In clerical garb. ' "You see we are busv with our rosos, Mr. Griffith," said the radiant Sara. "Thoy aro beautiful," ho said, "but I came over because you told mo that ono of your friends might sing for us." "Oh, yes; Dettl sings," said Sara. "Would you mind?" ho asked Dettl. "We shall bo glad to pay you a mod est sum." "Anything will do," said Dettl hon estly; "wo are awfully hard up." He smiled. "Then we'll consider It settled." When ho went away Bettl and Anno fell on Sara's nock. "He's perfectly lovely," they said; "yon have our blessing." Sara shook them off. "He's too fine to talk about In that way. Usually I don't -niind your teasing, but this Is different." And It was thus that Sara Wool worth, conqueror of hearts, fell In loVo at first sight with a London curate! The night of the festival the three girls wore gowns of crepe paper Sara went as a yellow rose, Bettl bb a pink ono, and Anne In white. Th.e ladles received them enthus lastically. The decorations were love ly, they declared. Sara's curate said the same thing, and added, "I feel as If I were In dreamland." Sara sighed softly. He looked down at her quickly. "Are things going hard with you?" he asked. "You must pardon mo If 1 seem curious but llfo for you must be a struggle you three girls alone with only music and painting to sup port you." "We wo went hungry ono night," she faltered. "Oh, you poor llttlo thing," ho said so tenderly that Sara was conscience stricken. "I Just folt too small for words," she confessed afterward to the girls. "Ho thinks I'm poor, and It Is so blissful to know thet he likes me for mysolf. Oh, I wonder what be will say when he rinds out." "You needn't tell him until you are married." Aano began, and tben Sara's wrath swept down upon her "Oh." sho said, "I I think you are dreadful, Anne. Ho hasn't said a word to me, not a -word." "It's n his heart," Anne assured ber gently. It was not long after that Griffith spokd of his love to Sara. "I want you. dear." he said. "It Isn't much that I have to offer I could not have usked you If I hadn't folt I could mako life a bit easier for you." And Sara whispered baek. t in you." And wondered how she should aver tell him the truth. j llut she had no chanco to tell him, 'or the next morning there came .chugging up to the shabby bouse Three where tbo girls lived a grand and gorgeous motor. In It were two young men and a gray-bearded gentleman. One of the young men Jumped out and asked questions of tho landlady. Then ho called back to the other occupants of the car, "They're here!" And pres ently thrco excited gentlemen went clamoring up the steps and shouted when Sara opened tho door, "We've found you!" Explanations followed; there were trips downstairs to the car, and pres ently the little table was heaped with American Beauty roses, boxes of candy, hampers of fruit At last the gray-bearded gentleman said, "Now get on your best bibs and tuckers, and we'll all go out to dinner and the play." "Oh, dad," Sara demurred. But he Insisted, and Anally she gave In. When they came out Bettl was In white satin, Anne In pale green, and Sara In silver-embroidered chiffon with pearls about her neck fastened with a diamond clasp. And it was thus that Griffith saw her as he came up the steps in- the dim twilight "Sara?" ho said Incredulously. "My father hns coma," she said quickly, "and the boys. They are up there In our rooms. I came to let you know" He caught her hands In bis. "To know what?" ho demanded sternly. "That you aro an American heiress? Do you think I could have asked you to marry me If I had known?" "No. You would not," said Sara, steadily. "And now will you go away, and come back later? I'll be alone then, and will explain." When ho had gone, sho went back and faced her father. "Dad, dear," bIio said, "I can't go. I've engaged myself to the dearest man on tbo earth, and I'm going to marry him because he didn't know that I hud money, and he loves mo for myself. And ho's coming back here tonight nnd I'vn got to toll him that I am overburdened with worldly goods. It won't be pleasant and I want to bo alone." She looked so pale that her father stared at ber anxiously, but Bettl whispered, "Let her stay," and some what reluctantly he left her. When Griffith camo ho held In his hand a little bunch of violets. "Perhaps I should have thrown thcBO away," he said, bitterly, as be saw the American Beauties. But Sara came up to him and took the flowers out of his band. "Give them to me," she said. "Don't you know that I value them more than all the roses In tho world? that I valuo your love for me more than all the money In the universe? You think that I deceived yon well, the truth Is this: we three girls eamc here and economized because Dottl's guardians wouldn't glye her tho money to study. Anno and I pooled our allowances nnd made up our minds we -would pay for Detti's music lessons, nnd we have had a lovely tlrno doing the things wo wouldn't have dared to do In America. We've cooked our own meals, and wo wouldn't write home for money because our pride wns up and then you came Into my llfo nnd I didn't want you to know. Somehow I felt that your prldo would stand between us as it Is doing now " "How could it be otherwise?" he said, slowly. "I love you, Sara, but you have been used to luxury. Life with me would mean hardships." "Am I such a poor thing," she flung back at him, "that you cannot believe me capable of wishing to share your lire? Oh, Griffith, Griffith, don't send me back to petty thingB." Could any man resist such an ap peal? And so his arms went about her, as she stood there In all her pale beauty. "Dear," he murmured, "Is It thet 'till death parts?" Find of Ancient Manuscript.

Western Canada probably suffered ess from weather conditions during ho year of 1911 than did almost any Ether portion of tho country. Seeding 'ns most successful and tho growing conditions up to July were never bet tor. Crops of all klndtt showed won derful growth at that time and were universally good, but there was not tho usually excellent ripening weather In August nnd the effects of this wero felt. Many fields that' Into In July promised 40 and f.O bushels yield of Wheat were reduced to 25 and 30 bush bis, while Botne of course gnvo the full expectancy and others somewhat less. The quality was also lowered. In face of these conditions, it ic found that during tho months of September and October, tho total amount of con tract wheat marketed and inspected was about 20 million bushels, which realized a total of 18V4 million dollars, tho averago price for this wheat be ing 97 cents; that below contract for the two months was a little over lfi million bushels, Which at an aver age price of 89 ft cents per bushel realized a little over eleven million dollars, or a grand total for all wheat of 35 million bushels, which realized a total of a little over thirty-one mil lion dollars. On the first of November, there was in the hands of the farmers of Manitoba, Saskatchewan nnd Alberta for sale and seed nbout 130 million bushels of wheat from which fact some Idea may be had of tho valuo of tho wheat crop of 1911. "" A careful cunvass mado by tho Win nipeg Free Press made of a number tit men farming In n largo way indi cates thnt even with tho extreme ex pense of harvesting tho crop, which has been caused by tho bad weather hnd difficulty in threshing, wheat has been produced and put on tho market for Icbb than 55 ctfi. a bushel. Tho averago freight rato is not over 13 cts. per bushel. This would make tho cost of production and freight GS cts. nnd would leave the farmer nn actual margin on his low-grnde wheat of ny. cts. and for his hlgh-grado wheat of 19H eta.; and though this Is not ns lingo a profit as tho farmer hus every right to expect, It Is a profit not to bo despised, and which nliould 'leave a very fair amount of money to his credit when nil the expenses of tho year have been paid, unless tho valuo of low-grade wheat sinks very much below Its present level. Meant to Be Real Bad. Two little girls residing In Hast Eighty-sixth street, Virginia Clough and Clalro Foldtnan, who hnd long envied their boy playmates Tor their ability to enjoy such badness us Is inherent In boys, resolved to bo bad themselveu. To this end they shut themselves up In Virginia's room nnd proceeded to ho naughty. In fact, they practiced Bwcarlng Just to see what would happen. When they were qulto sure thnt none would overhear them each pro duced n slip of paper containing the swear word nnd tired away. "Bulldog!" said Virginia. "Cigars!" was Clalro's reply. But the celling didn't drop, nnd there was no earthquake to swallow them up, mid tbo two remuned their play, a trllle disappointed nt the tame termination of their badness. Clove land Lender. Modern Methods. Mollere had written ninny plays to ridicule doctors and medicine. Louis XIV. heard that the author had, how ever, a doctor at his service since ho became famous and well to do, so the king one day called upon Mollere and laid to him: "I have heard, Mollere, that you have a physician. What is ho doing to you?" "Sire," answered the author of the Malade Imaglnalre, "we chat together, be writes prescriptions for me, I don't take them, and I am cured!" Life. , Whatl Rub a Kiss Off? At the tender age of three mascu line conceit had gripped that small boy with a relentless clutch. Ho had kissed a llttlo girl of threo, and she was rubbing her lips vigorously.
