He rode off as he spoke, and she pull-

he riding about the dale with her, count-
ing sheep, wading in the stream, lift-

seemed to be so strange, so inexplicable.
And as she followed him with her eyes,
his grace and strength were impressed
upon her, and she dwelt upon them
dreamily. Were there many such men

or was he one alone, and unique? And
how good, how pleasant It was to have
him with her, to talk to her, td help her!
She had often longed for a brother, and
had pictured one like this, strong and

"I will tell you everything, at the

for s moment, as if he were choosing
his words with a care that sprang from

Wide Wagon 1flres
The use of wide tires on wagons
has made hauling easier and im-
proved and packed rather than =cut
ruts in the roads. The farmer who
still uses narrow tires for heavy
roach is not only wasting. ti.ine and
horse energy, but is guilty of cruel-
ty to animals and the destTuetion
of the amino hig,hways. The rela-
tion between weight of load and
width of tire and the maintenance
of roads in each senion should be
carefully v considered and fixed by
local regulations.
A Handy Gate.
The ordinary farm gate, is too
heavy to slide easily. There is a
cast-iron roller made for this 'pur-
pose which is sold in harclwa,re
stores. It is'fastened to the _posts
so the gate slidQs half way badk. In
a long gate there is always a cen-
trepiece up and down with a ,diag-
°nal brace running froth thc centre
to the front .end of -tile gate. The
• pasts are mortised to let; in a two-
inch block;' and the; casting ,that
holds the roller is lel, in to -tbiS
