lips sat in front of her desk staring at the photograph of a good 1 ooking young man It was in a gold frame and stood up be fore her She bit tho end of her pen fiercely every now and then Sud denly she made a dab at the inkwell and stabbed the sheet of pale blue let ter paper before her with a blurred capital Then she wrote rapidly My Dear Mr Ferguson After the occurrence of last evening which so effectually opened my eyes to your true character and the unstability of your affections it is almost unneces sary for me to take the trouble to tell you that everything is over between us You of course will have realized that before this letter reaches you There will be not the slightest use in your begging to be forgiven because when a person once deceives me my confidence is killed So completely has my fancy that I ever cared for you been blotted out that I remember with scorn and pity the foolish girl who thought you were her ideal man I am almost moved to thank you for re vealing yourself to me and saving me a lifetime of misery I wish you much happiness in your second choice Miss Gaylord She is certainly more your type of girl than I am Many persons call her loud and vulgar but they probably have not your discriminating understanding of her A package of the trifles which you have bestowed on me including an en gagement ring will reach you short ly Truly yours ISABEL MHATTON She read it over triumphantly con sidered a while and then read it again Then she frowned She read it a third time Then she looked at the picture Then she tore the letter in two slowly and began again to write Dear Mr Ferguson The little inci dent of last evening which in itself was nothing supplied the finishing touch which decided a question that has troubled me for some time I feel that I do not care enough for you to marry you Wider experience has taught me where my heart lies I am relieved in telling you this to feel that it will not be a blow to you as no doubt your consolation even now is in your mind With best wishes sincere ly yours ISABEL MHATTON She smiled in a satisfied way That phrase about experience teaching me where my heart lies is really clever she murmured He will think that I mean Clifford Gray He was always jealous of Clifford She stared at the photograph and the smile faded A gleam flashed into her eyes Id like to show her once she said under her breath She has tried to get him away from me over and over She laid the letter aside and began another No doubt she simply made him do it she murmured But that doesnt excuse him at all She wrote Dear Mr Ferguson I am glad to find that you have enough good sense not to approach me since an accident caused me to witness the little scene in the Dawes conservatory I fancy you have some explanation as to why you kissed Gladys Gaylord but I would not be interested in hearing it I pre fer the very obvious explanation that you did it because you wanted to She is perfectly horrid and boasts of her flirtations with engaged men but I suppose that makes no difference to you You are probably proud of being numbered among her victims You neednt tell me you werent kissing her If you ware not at the in stant I saw you at least you had done so just before that because there was no other reason for your face being so close to hers In justice to you I will listen to any explanation you care to offer though I warn you that it will make no difference in my resolution to have nothing more to do with you Sincerely I MH For a long time she stared at the photograph It returned her gaze can didly She reread the last two letters Then she bit the pen and thought deeply Finally she took up a fresh sheet and wrote Dear George If you have an ex planations to make you may do so Please write instead of coming to see me Needless to say I am very much amazed and hurt A tear dropped on the paper and blotted it More tears followed I hope she sobbed that I shall never see him again And it was all her fault I know Every bit I hate her and I him There was a ring at the telephone She stumbled over her gown in her haste to reach it She said Hello and then listened eagerly Then she answered Of course Ill be at home to night George Im dying to see you Yes I knew it was something you could explain No of course I havent worried over it you silly boy Chicago Daily News Depends on

Judge PENMANSHIP A FINE ART typewriting Haa Not Driven Hand Work from the Field There is a renasissance In penman ship despite the speedy comforts of the typewriters Ten years ago it prob ably would not have occurred to any one to show a page of manuscript at any exhibition to day pages or books of script form a feature of every show which takes to itself the name of arts and crafts Some of the work is in Roman capitals but the form of letter usually adopted is the unciel or half unciel Apparently all the writers haye founded themselves in these models Within these last few years not only has the art attracted a good deal of attention but it has become quite the rage so that in some circles it creates no more surprise now to learn that an amateur is taking les sons in script than it would have done some years back to be told that he or she had taken to poker work From one viewpoint it is difficult to say where writing ends and illustration begins but though In the recent re vival the two arts naturally have gone hand in hand the scribe and the illum inator are not necessarily one and the same person Some of the illumina tions show most elaborate and minute figure decoration so delicate in color ing and so refined in treatment that it challenges comparison with the best of old work The more a man wants to borrow the harder he shakes your hand MORE BOXES OF GOLD And Many

Ind My Dear Sir When you were at our place in July I promised to write you what my north quarter made per acre You will remember it was all sown to wheat Well I finished threshing yesterday and received from it an average of 434 bushels per acre testing 64 pounds per stroked bushel The wheat is the best sample I have ever raised so uniform and even in size You may know it was a good sample when I tell you that I have already sold 2000 bushels of it for seed to my neighbors This year has been my best effort in farming during my life My wheat totaled 9280 bushels and my oats nearly 5000 If you remember I pointed out to you a half section lying just west of our house and joining my upper quar ter on the south which I said I should have in order to make one of the best farms in western Canada I am very glad to be able to tell you that I now own that half section My ambition now is to be able to market 20000 bushels of wheat next year If some of those good honest Hoosiers could have been with me during the last two weeks and could have seen the golden grain rushing down the spout into my wagon and then could have seen it in great piles in my granaries I feel sure they would have been forced to acknowledge there is no better farm ing country in the world than this I may just say that I have done all my farming with eight head of horses and one hired man except during harvest and threshing This year I proved to my neighbor that the Hoosiers when once woke up can raise grain equal to the best Minnesota farmers His best yield was 42 bushels per acre so you see old Indiana is holding the ribbon this year Yours very truly N E BAUMINK How to Sleep in a Blanket There are a great many very com petent treatises telling you how to build your fire pitch your tent and all the rest

shoulders and go to sleep If you roll over one edge will unwind but the other will tighten Stewart Edward White in Outing Proof of Merit The proof of the merits of a plaster is the cures it effects and the volun tary testimonials of those who have used Allcocks Plasters during the past sixty years is unimpeachable evidence of their superiority and should convince the most skeptical Self praise is no recommendation but certificates from those who have used them are Allcocks are the original and gen uine porous plasters and have never been equaled by those who have sought to trade upon their reputation by making plasters with holes in them Avoid substitutes as you would counterfeit money South Carolina Game Cocks to Mexico Mr S M Pickens is now shipping 12 game cocks to Mexico for which he receives eight dollars each says the Anderson Intelligencer He has also an order for 100 at five dollars each and 50 at eight dollars each aggregat ing 996 Mr Pickens has a large number of fine chickens at different walks in the county and is getting to gether the 150 for the 996 order The breeds raised by Mr Pickens are the Ginn grays and the Warhorse They are excellent pit cocks and se

it has been eaten in too large quantities at a time and the fibrous part has been swallowed with the juice To obtain the full digestive value of the juice one quadrant of a slice half an inch thick is
