Helen Porter and 1 were bosom friends, nod .111n MacAles- ter and Edward Dudley were insepa• rabie. These two .young teen used to come to see Helen and me always to- 1 gether till a time came when we paired off, Jim and 1 making one,couple, Ned and Helen the other. I don't know a better way to make matches than for two girls, chums, and two. fellows, chums, to form a quartet for spending their leisure hours. Almost always one of the couples will get to lovemaking, and the other will catch the infection. Jim and I caught it from Ned and Helen. I think it was their example that set Jim' and me to thinking about mar- riage. At any rate, Jim began to grow spoony, and I, thinking that I was not likely to do better, encouraged him. In due time be proposed, and 1 accept- ed him. At this time Ned and Helen had been engaged several months and had fixed their wedding day. But be- fore ft came round Helen was taken ill, and it was put off. Helen recovered, and another day was fixed, but this ' time Ned fell sick, and there was an- other postponement. When Ned improved his doctor order- ed him to the mountains, where he would breathe a dry air. He went out to the Rockies, to be gone a few months, at the end of which time and on his return the wedding day was to be fixed for the third time. We all went to the station to see him off. He did not wish to go any more than Helen wished to have him go. Jim consoled him till the train started, and Helen went home in the carriage with ane, weeping on my shoulder as though her heart would break. Ned wrote that he, was picking up marvelously out in the mountains, and when twO mouths had elapsed be wrote Helen to brush up her trousseau, for he would be back in a few weeks for the wedding. Poor Helen came to we with a lugubrious face about her trousseau, for the fasbious had chang- ed n couple of times since it was first made. Articles that were cut short then had since been cut long; those Mai had been made scant were now made full. She had bought several ex- pensive hats, very small, and the fash- ion had bloomed out to enormous pro- portions. i helped her prepare a new trous- seau; but, alas, it, too, passed out of fashion in. closets and bureau drawers. Ned, instead of coming home, wrote that he had bought a gold mine and was going to make n fortune. He had some property and put a portion of it into.his gold nine and felt it necessary that he s'hiouid stay =where be was till the property lad been plticed.:ol:: a paying basis. When this next period had passed Ned turned his property into cash and put it all Into his gold mine. He wrote Helen that this was necessary, because if he didn't he would lose what he had nirends invested. Helen's trousseau had now been made over so many times that it would not bear any more altering, and it was fortunnte she didn't try to bring it down to date, for Ned wns delayed in getting bis mine into shape to leave. Ali was going on swimmingly when a considerable flow of water was struck. A lnrge pump must be ordered, and when it arrived it was found not to be large enough. Then there was a labor strike among the miners. And so it went on, first this trouble, then that, till finally all Ned's fortune had gone down into the big hole in the ground. Ned wrote Helen telling her what had happened—that he had no income and would remain where he was till he had recovered what he had lost. Ile offered to release her from her en- gagement, but so far as he was .con• cerned he would never marry any one else. When he got his affairs in prop- er shape to take a wife, if Helen were free, he would, claim her. Meanwhile be would not blame her if she Married another, Helen replied that she felt just as Ned dill about it. Her heart had been given to him and she could not if she would give it to another. If at the end of five, ten, even twenty years .he claimed her be would find her ready to give herself to him. Meanwhile Jim and I were.merried and getting on nicely. We regretted that our companion i p couple's s affair had not turned out so well. I did _nay best to cheer Helen, and Jim wrote to en- courage Ned. But the cake looked hopeless to us. Ned was along Oldie after the collapse of his mine getting any kind of start, and when be got one it wasn't enough to Marry on. Sev- eral years passed, and ho felt that he and Helen had waited 50 long that he didn't care to marry 'without getting his affairs into excellent shape. A dozen years Passed, during which Ned Dudley went np and down hiit' a number of tithes, never remaining on a crest long enough to warrant—accord. ing to his owe Ideas --his 'taking a wife, He kept Helen's picture with him and never frilled for a single days to look at it, for 1t was on his dressing case, where he could not help seeing it. TH1 W I NGHA'M And IIelen clad the same by him. When they parted she was a beautiful gri and Need was one of the handsomest young then I ever !net,. i was frequent• iy In Helen's room and never failed to see her lover's picture In a morocco frame standing on her dresser, Twenty years passed while Helen was waiting for Ned to get his affairsi In shape to marry her. 'Ten one day he made np his mind that Ills,lncome was sufficient for the purpose. She had said tbat If be came even after twenty years' absence be would find her ready to marry him. He would come east and take her back with Mw. When Jim showed me a letter from Ned announcing bis coming we looked a each t e h otlec doubtfully, The letter contained a reference to the beautiful face that bad patiently looked out upon him from his bureau for so many years. It was my belief that Ned was thinking of marrying this young girl in• stead of the faded, middle aged woman that she had become. Had be been with her all this while the change would have not been noticeable—at least not shocking. Alen are not as apt to grow old look. Ing as women, and quite likely Ned bad kept a youthful appearance. We did not fear Helen's•being disappointed in him, only his being disappointed in her, for she looked ten years older than she was; and her face had taken on a disappointed expression. Her complex- ion was white; her hair was thin and streaked with gray. She was certainly not the woman a man of his age would choose for a wife. He would naturally prefer one froth ten to twenty years yoger Ned did not write her that he was comuning. He wished to surprise her, So in his letter to Jim he asked him. not to mention the matter to ler. ,. • Don't you think, Jim," 1 said, "that we had better give hint a sight of her without her knowing it? If he wishes to go no further 1t will be better for both of them that he should be free to go back west without making himself known." "Right you are, my dear," Jim re- plied. "And I'm not sure but that we should give Helen a peep at Ned un• der the same conditions. 1 saw a tnan from the west the other day who knows Ned very well. IIe told me that Ned was not a fresh looking mon at all. He was nearly bald, and what hair was left was {elite as snow. This gires a comparatively young man n very old appearance." "That's fortunate. Ile won't be so likely to be disappointed with Helen's looks." "IIe won't, elf? Ile will be blind to his imperfections, and she will be Bina to hers." 1 sighed, for 1 feared that Jint spoke the truth. When Ned arrived he wont straight to jilt), happy after having wanted so amity years at the prospect of being united with the love of his youth.

It occurred to me to invite Helen to the house while Ned was there. 1 tele- phoned her that .lint was to have n friend with bin during the evening and 1 wobld=ides her tu come over and sit with me. When Ned saw me 1t was plainuthat be was a bit shocked at the chainge- in me. I saw by his expression that be was thinking whether lie would see the same change in Helen. IIe had apparently been disposed le chat with me in, the way of youngsters, such as we were when we parted —indeed, he tied, but the effort was a failure. Where, oh, {where was That head of thick raven hair i had admired so much? Where the while teeth, the sleuder figure? And life in n rough country had roughened Ned. He was bronzed and seemed to have forgotten the king's English. After dinner Ned and Jim smoked, I retiring to another part of the room. Helen came in, and we could both see and hear the men chatting. "Who is that old boor over there with Jim?" asked llelen. "Do you consider !aim a boor?" 1 asked. "IIe's both disagreeable looking and speaking." This was hiy experience with Helen. Jim's experience w•itli Ned was told me later. Ned paid no nttentlon to the lady chatting with me until Jim spoke of,her as_afriend of mine and a lovely rroni' u ,'Then ,1\'ed gave her a'glance, remarking:, . . • "The old lady looks ready to turn np her toes, doesn't she?"

Treatment of the Skin to Prevent Abrasions and Sores. When they are first put into harness young "horses are particularly liable to be galled by the harness because their skin is not accustomed to the pressure and friction caused by the collar, pad, etc„ says the American Cultivator. Horses just up from grass are also ssusceptible specially y eco( able to suffer from this trouble because of their soft condition. The fact of n horse's system being in a heated state or "bumory" is another predisposing cause of harness galls 1 and sores, while some horses are un- usually prone to them, owing to their skin being specially sensitive and deli- cate. In all these cnses 1t is tt useful plan, in order to harden the skin, to bathe the parts exposed. to galling twice or thrice n day with a saturated solution of alum, while a lotion con- sisting oi' bluestone (copper sulphate), dissolved in water at the rate of fico grains to an ounce of water, may also be recommended for use ns a toughen- ing agent and to counteract any tend- ency on the part of the skin to be- come chafed. One simple remedy for abrasions and sores caused by the harness is oxide of zinc ointment: BROOD SOW WITH PIGS. importance of Full Rations During the Suckling Period. Some experiments were conducted by Professor Henry at the Wisconsin station to determine the cost of pro- ducing gains in pigs during the suck- ling period and after weaning. In discussing the results of these experi- ments Professor Henry says that it thus appears that young unweaned pigs are fed more economically through the sow than after weaning. This means that nt no time in the pig's life are gains mode with such econo- my as during the suckling period. Un- derstanding this principle, the good bog man will always feed his sows and pigs most liberally before weaning. Even with the best of feeding a good brood sow will usually lose weight during the suckling period. A milk producing ration mast of ne. ccssity contain n liberal allowance of nitrogenous material. Mfalfa pasture supplies protein, but the brood sow must have additional protein in a more concentrated form.

Its object is to en- courage the breeding and improve- ment of beef cattle. It is probable that the association will supervise the importation of registered Here- fords, Galloways, Polled Angus and English Shorthorns, which breeds of beef cattle have been found best suited to Eastern Canada. Beef ant - mals in Prince Edward Island num- ber 45,000 to 50,000, and are, if any- thing decreasing, While corn cannot be grown successfully for fattening cattle, the peas, oats and turnips, which are plentiful and easily pro- duced, are said to be equally valu- able in beef -making qualities. The number of beef cattle .in the Dom- inion of Canada has gradually fallen from 4,629,836 in 1908 to 4,093,600 in 1912. Twenty -Two Years In Wilds. Bronzed and "bearded like a pard" was Rev.
