AN EXCITING PRESENT-DAY ROMANCE
BY WEATHERBY CHESNEY
s �
CHAPTER V. (Cont'd).
"I can tell you that I am sure.
Three years ago I met her often at her
father's house. She wore her hair in,'
a pigtail then, and her frocks were':,
short, but otherwise she has not al
tered much. Also, I can describe Car-
rington to you, and you can judge
for yourself if he is the man you
know as Page. He is about live feet
seven rather fat, and his skin hangs
loosely over his cheek bones, as thoegh
he had once been much fatter. There
is something wrong with one of laic
fingers, but I forget which."
Scarborough drew in his breath
quickly, and looked hard at the crumbs
he was making. He remembered that
when Mr, Page played chess he al-
ways made the moves with his left_
hand. The last joint of the middle
finger of the right hand was missing,
and Elsa at once explained that her
father had lost it from the bite of a
horse when' he was a boy.•
"And the other thing?" he asked:
huskily.
"The other thing is that "itlona de la'
Mar refuses to perform to -night," :aid,
Varney.
"Why, how does she come into it'?"
When he had heard his friend's ex -I
planation of his reasons for thinking
that Mona de la Mar did come into
the story, Scarborough rose suddenly;
and said: s.
"Can you get a bicycle and ride back
with me to -night? I'd like to talk
things over with you."
"Then stay and talk here—or better
still—let me show. yaa over our
schooner. I'ts a funny place."
"No," said Scarborough. "I must
get baek. I want to be within reach
of the Chinelas if I'm needed. Will
you come ?"
"Yes," said Varney.
. He hired a bicycle in the town, and
rode back with Scarborough. They
had their talk out. and by that time
it was late, and Phil Varney stayed
the night at the cable station. Next
morning, while they were at break-
fast, a note was brought to Scarbor-
ough. He opened it and read:
"Father is dead. I think he has been
murdered. Come to me. Elsa."
That was all. Scarborough thought
again of the cablegram, Was this the
danger which the coining of the cir-
cus had brought? And the danger
might not be over yet, though the
victim had fallen. Elsa herself might
be in peril.
He got his bicycle, and started at
once for the Chinelas. As he rode off
a sudden thought struck him, and he
called out to Varney:
"Find out what Mona de la Mar was
doing last night, and what the busi-
ness was which made her refuse to
perform in the circus."

Money .in Sorting Potatoes.
There is money to be made by the
sorting of potatoes. Consumers, large
and small, do not like mixed lots. They
want them uniform in size and qual-
ity. Consequently potatoes are us-
ually sorted before being put on the
market and the price which is paid
the potato -grower is the price of
sorted potatoes, less the cost of sort-
ing. Therefore, the potato grower
who ships unsorted potatoes really
has to pay the charge of sorting.
The shipper of unsorted potatoes,
also, has to pay another charge, and
that is the freight on the culls which
are later taken out of his shipment.
The shipper of unsorted potatoes,
therefore, is simply wasting money.
It pays to sort because it gives one
the top market prices and because it
saves freight on culls, and, it might
be added because the culls could be
kept on the farm and made use of in
rations for live stock.

Many a Haan would have atIndels-
toored severe punishment, and have
endeavored to exercise tho demon of
contrariness by free application of the
Newmarket flogger and the Latch -
fords. Our friend's creed was the
suavitor in motto, spiced with patient
determination. After exhausting every
method of kindness and encourage-
ment he determined to 'sit it aut.,' so,
bringing the disobedient youngster
back to the point of disputed depart-
ure he halted him there, sitting in
his saddle as immovable. as one of
the Mounted sentries at the Horse
Guards, or the Duke O1' Wellington
at Hyde Park Corner.

a fresh essay to make the pig-headed
colt go in the way it should go result-
ed in a renewed exhibition of rearing.
Observing a lad passing at the time,
the determined tyke ordered him to
go to his wife, and tell her to send
his dinner to the cross roads, for
there he meant to remain out all night
and the day following if need be. The
repast duly arrived, and was des-
patched on the animal's back. Ano-
ther effort was but a fresh failure, so
the statuesque, weary wait was resum„
ed, and the veteran breaker sat again
for hours immovable. Isere was the
living exemplification of Patience on
a monument.
"With the setting sun came the
horseman's supper, still not a move,
and the sturdy yeoman prepared to
make a night of it. In due course
his topcoat and a stiffly mixed `neet
cap' arrived. Whether or not the
colt divined the meaning of these
campaigning arrangements deponent
sayeth not; anyhow, his Master had
hardly donned the • one and swilled
the other when the quadruped, with
one long sigh, one that nearly car-
ried the girths away, all his obstinacy
evaporated, and thoroughly defeated,
relieved himself from his . post, and
quietly walked down the road in the
direction he had so long protested so
firmly against. The lesson was a
permanent one; it took some eight
hours in the teaching, but lasted a
lifetime—he never 'struck up' again."
If it be objected that a vicious ani-
mal cannot be so handled, suffice.it
to say that impatience and harshness
certainly never controlled or broke
one.
Drainage and Hauling.
Proper drainage not only allows the
:farmer to cut his crop under more
favorable circumstances but it also
affords easy removal of the crop from
the fields in large wagons. Charles
G. McLain, farm drainage and water
supply expert of the United States
Department of Agriculture, in discus-
sing farm hauling, says:
"The removal of the crops from the
field to the barn is often a very diffi-
cult proposition, especially if the sea-
son happens' to be wet, or if there is
a bad section of ground between the
fields and the barn. This condition
can be largely overcome by doing
some drainage. It will also be of
benefit to every farmer from the fact
water now held in the soil is removed
so much earlier in the spring. By
drainage you not only put your soil
in better condition, you lengthen
your season of work. It is through
drawing -the water away through un-
derdrains that you accomplish these
two purposes.
"The experience of the farmers who
have underdrained their fields is sure-
ly enough to convince any one that
drainage makes for better farming.
The fields that have been ander-
drained will stand the teams and wag-
ons much earlier and better than un-
drained fields. On the drained farm
the loads that can be hauled are
much heavier and larger than on the
undrained farm. The reason for this
is that the water in the soil is con-.
stantly seeking a lower level, thus
I leaving the surface in a much firmer
condition to withstand the heavy loads
hauled over it.
This also stands good with the farm-
ing machinery.' I have in mind a
case where the farmer on a well rn-
1 derdrained field cut his entire crop
of oats with a binder, while his neigh -
bar across the line fence, with the
same kind of soil, but not underdrain-
ed, had to cut his crop with a scythe
I on account of the soft wet condition
of his field. Ther were also consider-
, able difference in the yield of grain in
favor of the underdrained field.
