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. l *ol "When is a partnership like a pen?

In hie words 11 is as follows: "I may ii etauc'c the t', ntrn.'ut by which a we!1-Rnrwa 't`orkshi 'e !'reed- • er and lrrt ,: en --ono Wile always I:,rt.ka'-in his own colt;.-.-c=.areal to etab- I.lroraa aaad lry ito means uneonlznon ease of ntulisltnes:,..

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. "At the end of an hour's anchorage 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. !
