MTh a w grass 'sparkled wltb dew, th" lllsee ewung purple sensuous In tha Hght wind, down at tba eighth hole tha wild crab tree scattered their pink petals till tha (rasa was starred with perfumed loveliness.' The mocking birds war out. too. I saw one. In a tall maple, and near him Were t we brown finches. And ever In tha field tha meadow lark called and whistled, and yet. from tha edge of tha cloudy woodland earns Uis beautiful cry of the fiddler bird, drumming up trade for some party of his kind. I suppose. ' "Fiddler, fiddler," he cried. Ilka per sistent barker ,at tha entrance of a aide show tent "Fiddler, fiddler,-' and ths eatblrd booked him. snd tha woodpecker hammered at tba door of the hickory like a poet men with a special dsllvery letter written by Mayand sent to santmer to say that old winter bad tone home at last and a food riddance. Swish want tha golf stick In ths hands of hte middle-aged woman. Swish, through the grass traveled, not so very swiftly, tha ball she trlde to send flying. "Scat!" cried tha man who played with her, "that's ."bat I call a cat bell,". And tha rotddle-agcd woman laughed and walked gravely to the place where the little whits ball blinked up at ths esrly sun as tf It shared a Joke with him. some thing about tha middle-aged woman and tha way aha played golf or tried to play It, I'm afraid. Eg Swish, clip, knock, the middle-aged woman worked seriously, and. hello, that -"wasn't auch s bad drive, what? Well, well, she may make a golf player after, all. At 11 o'clock I saw tba middle-aged woman going horns. "Dear ma." shs said. "I'm tired, but K's a good tired. I'm going boms snd have a good rub down, and than It will be time for luncheon, don't yon think?" Shs rested ber muscles A llttls as aha stood for a, moment at tha step. Her face waa burned, there were two wisps of nondescript middle-aged hair strsytwr from under her correct hat. Her wrist hong as If It was A little lame,, but her ' eyes wqrw very bright, and ber voice wse ss Insistently optimistic ss the robins who chirped "cheer, cheer up" from ths tall maple. "I'll be out In the mornlngi" she eatd. and with a leuf, teuf. of the motor born she was gone. Then we all spoke at once. "What far?" asked one woman. "Never can make It In the world." said saotber. ... "Trying to keep ber figure." said a third... . ' .' "Not a bit of It" said the. fourth woman: "she's trying to keep her' hus band. That's what I do." "Her husband. came the horrified and an too. eagerly Interested chorus, "why. Is he er -that Is. now he always "No," said the last who bad spoken, "be Isn't er a either now or any time, but the same rmd of s husband as mine, and mine If the best there Is. too." "But." and ber voice becama at aace very eenstbt and practical, lust as ths doctor's votes sounds ' when he says, "yoa'H have It te do asms day and yeu nlgtit as well let me 'phone to the hos pital tor your room right now."

"Ob, he'd mlsg you terribly If you didn't come with htm. wouldn't her The woman with the second honaytneoa laughed quite cheerfully, "Well," shs said, "I'm Afraid I'd do most of the miss ing." , The engaged girl gssped and looked too shacked for words "May I ask," broke la the bachelor maid you can't call her a bachelor maid any more, she's really a bachelor woman "may I ask this on question. Don't any bf yea clinging creatures play be cause you Uks the game?" And not a single woman there had the tare bo answer "yea" The bachelor woman sniffed: "Well." she said. "If my husband would learn to embroider so aa to be near me I'd learn to play golf te be near him. and until he did I wouldn't" The orher woman looked with eyes full of divine pity st the engaged girl and at the bachelor woman. Then they gaaed at each other with a look that said as plainly as any word ever spoken, er writ ten, or wirelessed across raging sees, "They don't understand." And enmc to think of It I don't believe they did. do you? .1 I PI I I 1 I Farming by Dynamite Bjr GARRETT Doing work by explosions Is ons ef the most remarkable features . of modern eclentirto Advance. Automobiles, aero plsnes and motor boats are driven by a series of rapid anprosloajs In the cylinders of an engine, Instead ef by the pressure of steam, and without these engines actu ated by explosion many of ths most mar velous triumphs of swift locomotion wltb which w have recently become familiar would be Impossible. Wltb their Aid man has conquered ths sir. The science ef ex plosives has reached a point where their application appears te be Almost limitless. By osrsful manipulation and Ingenious machinery aa explosive agent, Uks dyna mite, or nitroglycerin, in sons ef their many forms, can be made to work with ths nicety and certainty of a steel tool in boring tunnels through rocks and mountntns. Etiray And experience, have rendered It possible to direct and confine the force of an explosion almost as tf It were a hammer or a ' chisel of super hi'man power in the hands ef a work man. Working by the application of slow, gradual pressure Is aa out-of-date process -now We work wita strokes as quick as lightning, but perfectly controlled. Mod ern machines operated by explosion are the gars of science. Their force Is em powered. nH to burl projectiles, but to do us'.ful work. Aifcong all the applications of the prin ciple cf explosion nunc Is more surpris ing than Its recent Introduction Into seri culture, described by Dr. Henry Smith Wllllans la Hearst's Magsslne for Msy.

The ex ploslv process by carrying Uis pulverisa tion seversl feet downward, brings new soli Into activity. 1 The gain Is almost Incredible. A cubic foot of stone, aa Dr. Williams says, has a toral aurfsce of six square feet, but wbsn thtt Is broken Into particles as fin sethoss that commute productive soli, the total surtax e is Increased many thou sand times. Then the atmosphere agent set to work upon it, and tha elements needed for plan: growth are produced In abundance, "bach acr of fertile land, of average depth of soil, sxpose to the ac tion of air and water an area of perhaps seventy square miles." and "by running his plow a few Inches deeper, th farmer may add several miles per acre to the available surface of bis soli. " Even with th aid of engines to drive bis Mow ths farmer cannot go much deeper with them than be haa already gone, but by an explosion he can g several feet deeper. Theoretically It would seem to be Imnoselble to set A limit to tbs gain la Available soli thst this new process places within the farmer's reach. If he can thus make several farm out of one. the productiveness of the earth may In time be made so great that It can maintains t.onc.Wr.CM Inhabitants as easily (Center Picture) THE OLD LABORIOUS METHOD OF PLOUGHING AS SHOW IN THE rAMOUS PAINTING BT R08A BONHEUR.

The relation of cost te results remains te be worked out by experiment. Perhaps ons of the most gratifying re sults of the use ef scientific methods in Jjh cultivation ef tbe sell may be the en- couragment of that which tbe world so seriously needs at present vix.. tendency of those who now flock te the cities to "go bsck to the land."

AH, the victor of th flight waa A cousin ef ths great founder ef Islam, and was greatly be. loved by th Prophet. Nor waa th love mlaphteed. for All was the first to declare hi faith In hla Illustri ous kinsman. When Mohammed told them that the angel Oabriel had rem te him with A revela tion of th will ef Oed. bu country men laughed at him and bis own blood relatives looked at him with a sneer In their eyes, but All said: "Whll ths rest ef you are leugktug At htm, t believe In him." It waa th will of Mohammed thai his faithful klnsmea should succeed him as ths head of tha faithful, but there was politics In those dsys, ad there Is today, and when the prophet went the way f all flesh the gsngsters made Abubekr caliph. After Abubekr came Omar and Orthman, and It was net until AW that All came Into his own. But gangstsrs are always and every wher ef th asm strips, and before AH waa fairly en the throne of the caliphate, they began plotting for his overthrew. Questions By EDGAR LI C Q.
