j The party, Including tlio excited
Prince, got back to the docks without
losing any time and without further
'accident Still tho chapel bell was
ringing and somebody said:

"Hum! you and I both seem to bs
mistaken about what constitutes sllll

hardware dealer. "I wns for calling

Carolyn May did not altogether un
derstand what Miss Amanda had done,
nut sho was greatly pleased that
Uncle Joe had so plainly displayed his
Interest In the carpenter's daughter.
Tho next morning Carolyn May
oomed to bo In good condition. In
deed, sho was tho only Individual vi

idld not pay for the exposure. Even
Prince had barked his legs being
ttmulcd out on tho lco. Uncle Joe had
caught a bad cold In his head and suf
fered from it for some time. Miss
Amanda remained in bed for several
flays. But it was poor Chet Gormley
'who paid tho dearest prlco for par
ticipation In tho exciting incident. Doc
tor Nugent had hard work lighting off
pneumonia.
Mr. Stogg surprised himself by the
Interest ho took in Chet lie closed
his store twice each day to call nt

Mr. Stagg found himself talking with
Chet more than ho ever had before.
plie boy was lonely and the man found
a spark of Interest in his heart for him
that he had never previously discov
ered. He began to probo Into his
voting employee's thoughts, to learn
something of his outlook on life ; per
haps, even, he got some inkllnjr of
Chefs ambition.
That week tho ico went entirely
ont of the cove. Spring was at hand,
with its muddy roads, bluo skies,
sweeter airs, soft rains and a general
revivifying feeling.
Aunty Itoso declared that Carolyn
May began nt onco to "perk up." Per
haps tho cold, long winter had been
hard for tho child to bear.
Ono day tho little girl had a more
jthan ordinarily hard school task to
perform. Everything did not como
easy to Carolyn May, "by any manner
of means," na Aunty Itoso would have
said. Composition writing was her
bano and Miss Mlnnlo had Instructed
Carolyn May's class to bring In a writ
ten exerclso the next morning. Tho
little girl wandered over to tho church
yard with her slate and pencil and
"Prince, of course to try to achieve
the composition.
1 The wlndowo of the minister's study
Overlooked this spot and he was flit
ting ut his desk while Carolyn May
Vas laboriously writing tho words on
her slate (having learned to uso a
mate), which she expected later to
ropy into her composition book.
The Rov. Afton Drlggs watched her
puzzled face und laboring lingers for
somo moments beforo calling out of
his window to her. Several sheets of
Bcrmon paper lay beforo him on tho
desk and perhaps he was having al
most ob hnrd a tlmo putting on tho
paper what ho desired to say as Cur
iolyn May was having with her writ
ing. Finally, ho came to tho window and
poko to her. "Carolyn May," ho Bald,
what aro you writing?"
1 "Oh, Mr. Drlggs, is that you?" said
ffca llttlo gtrL getting up quickly and
coming nearer. "Did you over havo to
write a composition?"
"Yes, Carolyn May, I have to write
ono or two each week." And he
sighed.
"Oh, yes I So you do I" the llttlo girl
agreed. "You hnvo to wrlto sermons.
And that must bo a terribly tedious
thing to do, for they hnvo to bo longer
than my composition a great deal
longer."
"So It Is a composition that Is troub
ling you," tho young minister re
marked. "yes, sir. I don't know whnt to
write I really don't. Miss Minnie
says for us not to try any flights of
fancy. I don't Just know what thoso
are. Rut she snys, wrlto what is In us.
Now, that don't seem like n composi

"What doesn't."
"Why, writing what Is in us," ex

You Writing?"
puzzled fashion at her slate, on which
she had written several lines. "You
see, I have written down all the things
mat I 'member is in me."
"For Dltv's sakol let mo aee It
child," enld tho minister, quickly reach
ing down for tho slate. When ho
brought It to a level with his eyes ho
was nmazcd'by tho following:
"In me there Is ray heart, my liver,
my lungs, my verform pcndlcks, my
stummlck. two clncer cookies, n nloco
of pepmlut candy and my dinner."
"For pity's sakol" Mr. Drlggs shut
off this explosion by a sudden cough.
"I guess It Isn't much of a compo
sition, Mr. Drlggs," Carolyn May said
frankly. "But how can you make your
Inwards be pleasant reading?"
The minister wns having no little
difficulty In restraining his mirth.
"Go around to the door, Carolyn
May, and ask Mrs. Drlggs to let yon
In. Perhaps I can help yon in this
composition writing."
"Oh, will you, Mr. Drlggsr cried
the little girl. "That ts awful kind of
you."
Tho clergyman did not seem to mind
neglecting his task for the pleasure of
helping Carolyn May with hers. He
explained quite clearly Just what Miss
Mlnnlo meant by "writing what Is In
you."
"Oh I It's what you think about a
thing yourself not what other folks
think," cried Carolyn May. "Why, I
can do that I thought It was some-
uung uko those physerology lessons.
Then I can wrlto about anything I
want to, can't I?"
"I think so," replied tho minister.
"I'm awfully obliged to you, Mr.
Drlggs," tho llttlo girl said. "I wish
I might do something for you In re
turn." "Help me with my sermon, per
haps?" he asked, smiling.
"I would if I could, Mr. Drlggs,"
Carolyn May wes very earnest
"Well, now, Carolyn May, how would
you go about writing a sermon If yon
had ono to wrlto?"
"Oh, Mr. Drlggsl" exclaimed the
llttlo girl, clasping her hands. "I know
just now I'd do It"
"Tou do? Tell mo how, then, my
dear," ho returned, smiling. "Perhaps
you have an Inspiration for writing
sermons that I havo never yet found."
"Why, Mr. Drlggs, I'd try to write
every word so's to mako folks that
heard it happier. That's what I'd do.
I'd mako 'cm look up and sco tho sun
shlno and the sky and tho moun
tains, 'way oft yonder so they'd see
nothing but bright things and breathe
only good air und hear birds sing
Oh, deur me, that that Is tho way I'd

The Awakening.
' With tlio opening of spring and tho
close of tho sledding season, work had
stopped at Adams' cum p. Rather, the
entire plant had been shipped twenty
miles deeper Into the forest mill,
bunkhouso, cook shed and such corrugated-Iron
shacks as wero worth cart
ing away.
All that was left on tho site of tho
busy camp wero hugo heaps of snw
dust piles of Blabs, discarded timbers
and the half-burned bricks Into which
had been built the portable boiler and
engine.
And old Judy Mason. Sho was not
considered worth moving to the new
Bite of tlio camp. Sho was bedridden
with rheumatism. This was tho report
Tim, tho hackman, had brought In.
The old woman's husband had gono
with the outfit to the new camp, for ho
could not afford to give up his work.
Judy bud not been so bad whon tho
camp was broken up, but wheu Tim
went over for a lond of slabs for
summer Qrewood, he discovered hur
qtitto helpless in her bunk and almost
starving. Tho rheumatic attack had
become serious.
Amanda Parlow had at onco ridden
over with Doctor Nugent
"How brave and helpful It hi of Miss
Amandnl" Carolyn May cried. "Dear
me. when I trrow ud I hone I run h
grndjerute nurse like Miss Mandy."
"i rccKon mars some spell ahead,"
chuckled Mr. Parlow. to whom nh
said this when he picked her up for a
drive after taking his daughter to the
camp.
"Mr Parlow." tho clrl ventured ntter

Amanda ought to be happy?"
"Happy 1" exclaimed tho caroenter.
startled, "What about child?"
"Why, about everything. Yon know,
once I nsked you about her being hap
py, and and you didn't seem fa
v'rable. You said Bahl"'
Tho old man made no reply for a
minute and Carolyn May had the pa
tience to wnlt for her suggestion to
"sink In." Finally he said:
"I dunno but you're right Cnflyn
Mny. Not that tt matters much, I
guess, whether a body's happy or not
In this world," ho added grudgingly.
"Oh, yes, It does, Mr. Parlow I It
matters a great deal, I am sure to
us and to other people. If we're not
happy Inside of us, how can wo be
cheerful outside, and so make other
people happy? And that is what I
mean about Miss Amanda."
"Whnt about Mandy?"
"She Isn't happy," sighed Carolyn
May. "Not really. She's Just as good
as good can be. 8ho is always doing
for folks and helping. But she cant
be real happy."
"Why not?" growled Mr. Parlow. hln
faco turned away.
"Why 'cause Well, you know,
Mr. Parlow, she can't bo happy as long
ns sho and my Uncle Joe are mad at
each other."
Mr. Parlow uttered another grunt
but tho child went bravely on.
"You know very well that's bo. And
I don't know what to do about It It
Just seems too awful that they should
hardly speak, and yet be so fond of
each other deep down."
"How d'you know they're so fond of
each other deep down?" Mr. Parlow
demanded.
"I know my Uncle Joe likes Mtss
'Mandy, 'cause he always speaks so
so respectful of her. And 1 can see
she likes him, In her eyes," replied tho
"I Know My Uncle Joe Likes Mies
Amanda."
observant Carolyn May. "Oh, yes, Mr.
Parlow, they-ought to bo happy again,
and wo ought to make 'cm so."
"Flub I Who ought to?"
"You and me. We ought to find somo
way of doing it I'm sure wo can. If
wo Just think hard about It."
"Huh l" grunted the carpenter again,
turning Cherry Into the dooryard.
"Huh!"
This was not a very encouraging re
sponse Yet ho did think of it. The
llttlo girl had started n train of

The Farmer Receives More Than Five
Thousand Dollars a Minute From
Swift & Company
Thiaamount is paid to the farmer for live
stock, by Swift & Company alone, during the
trading hours of every business day.
All this money is paid to the farmer through
the open market in competition with large and
small packers, shippers, speculators and dealers.
The farmer, feeder, or shipper receives
every cent of this money ($300,000 an hour,
nearly $2,000,000 a day, $11,500,000 a week) in
cash, on the spot, as soon as the stock he has
just sold is weighed up.
Some of the money paid to the farmer dur
ing a single day comes back to the company in
a month from sale of products; much does not
come back for sixty or ninety days or more.
But the next day Swift & Company, to meet the
demands made by its customers, must pay out
another $2,000,000 or so, and at the present high
price levels keeps over $250,000,000 continuously
tied up in goods on th- way to market and in
bills owed to the company.
This gives an idea of the volume of the
Swift & Company business and the requirements
of financing it. Only by doing a large business
can this company turn live stock into meat and
by-products at the lowest possible cost, prevent
waste, operate refrigerator cars, distribute to
retailers in all parts of the country and be
recompensed with a profit of only a fraction of
a cent a pound a profit too small to have any
noticeable effect on the price of meat or live stock.
