from itis gun to the tent -way; for the
morning flight already smote through
the .dark.
"This," I said, lifting the canvas a
second time ,and drawingMiriam for-
ward. ' '
I could but ,place the child in her
arms. She glided in. The flap fell.
There was the smothered outcry of
one soul -rent %by pain.

."Come away," whispered a choky
voice by my side, and 'Frances linked
her. arm through mine.
Then the tent was filled and the
tight air palpitated with sounds of
anguished weeping. And with tears
raining from my eyes, I hastened
'away from what was too sacred' for
any ear but a ,pitying God's. That had
come to my life which taught me the
depth's of Hamilton's suffering.
"Dearest," said I, "now we under-
stand !both the pain and the joy of
, loving," and I kissed her white brow.
The !End,
Corn for 'Husking
Two-thirds of corn for husking %crop
in Ontario is grown In .the %Counties of
Essex and !Kent, In Essex the condi-
tion at the present time .is %particularly
promising with fields showing a good
colour. Even fields planted the latter
part •of •June, %which may not mature,
are snaking satisfactory progress. In
Kent the major part ,of the acreage
was planted six to eight days later
than usual and !for a ;time growing
conditions were not favourable. Dur-
ing recent weeks, however, excelleret
growing %conditions have prevailed and
crop prospects are reported good at
the present time. There are some indi-
cations that the corn borer infestation
may show an upward trend this year,
but it is too early yet ;to forecast to
what extent the crop may be injured,
although the vigorous growth will
doubtless tend to offset the damage.
The acreage of corn for 'husking this
year is estimated at 1160,420 acres as
compared with 11165,1593 acres in 119,37,

WAY WITH A CRITIC
"If there's a man in this bowu," ob-
served 'Caleb Peasdee,“•who up to and.
inclu•diin' yest'day forenoon at about
eleven of the clock felt free to pick
flaws in other %folks' conduct and
led,gment, Silas Bowles is that man."
"Don't he feel so now?" inquired
Deacon H'yne, "What's !happened to
make hint feed any d'iff'retrt?"
"A long -tried pttubhc riz up," Caleb
replied comfortably, "and p'inted out
to him certain !flaws in his own con-
duct, past and recent; and it kind o'f.
give him somethiu' to pander over
and compare with, so to say.
"Silas thas'felt so righteous, I s'pose
he'd .call it," 'Caleb went on, "and
took so much satisfaction out of
leelin' superior to moat everybody
else that tI 'presume •more'n likely he
never realized what a pest he is with
his •criticiz+n', nor how tired folks
.git of it -I mean .folks that had sense
'Hough to denaw they're no more'n
human themselves and make mistakes
they'd full as soon have %forgotten.
Silas don't feel like that; he's so busy
.p'intin' out where you and me are
faulty he never even thinks •of times
When he's showed out c'usid'abfe to
one side of 'perfect himself.
"Take yest'day forenoon. A ,passel
of us was settle' comf'ta'ble enough
down at the post office, taabkin' 'bout
the weather and the ways we'd found
to best p'tater bags -'harmless things
like that -when Silas hove in sight.
And as soon's we'dmade out how his
mouth was pursed tight we knew
somebody was in for a 'chasbenin'. I
d'know who thought of it first, but
whilst he was inside doin' a little
tradin' somebody hatched' out a .plan
bo give Silas a taste of this own med'-
eine.
"He bought the things he was af-
ter come out the door with 'em piled
on to his artn and shucked the load
on the end of the bench where I hap-
pened to be settin'. Then he straight-
ened 'up and looked at all of us a
good deal 'sof we was more or less
blameworthy,
"'I don't like to be the one to go
round carpin' about my neighbors
that ain't like me.' Yes. 'Hyne," Caleb
assured the round -eyed deacon, "he
actually used them words, man it
made me snicker( 'But,' s'he, `some-
body ought to call it to Ben Simp-
son's notice that he's gone and piled
that wet sawdust right agin his
woodhouse; it'll rot the clapboards if
he don't move it. How a man can be
so foolish and use so little jedg-
ment-' And then he went on and
p'Jated out how Ben .was lackin'. in
faculty -a reg'lar Silas Bowles lec-
ture with a hit at about everybody
that was listenin' throtved in, if we
wanted to pick 'em out. We sot and
listened for mebbe five minutes, and.

yes, and a little mad tool .But it was
Jed Barnes that really started the
thing at last,
"'Wal, yes,' Jed says, 'I s'pose a
,man %that'd pile wet sawdust agin a
+buildin' like that ain't got 'much jedg-
ment; he'd be like likely to do even
wuss'it that if he ,didn't watch him-
self. He night be witless 'rough to
hitch a cow out in a field and f'git
her sometime and leave her ant all
night in a cold rain and lose her from

(but his name wa'n't Simpson, it don't
seen to mel' "
5'1,1y land!" the deacon 'breathed,
"What'd Bowles-"
'You wait!" Caleb adjured 'him.
"B'fore Bowles had a •dh'ance to speak
or even to get the full redness in his
dace I thought of somethin'. ''M'e•bbe,'
I says, 'he'd even git foolish 'nough
to git his beans into the barn and pile
'em on one side and 'then go to work
and shingle the other, so the fide
where there wa'n't anything didn't
leak, and let his beans git wet and
sprout. Met>Ibe he'd do that, but I
don't put hint down to be so foolish.'
'"Then Bill Graffam piped up:
'What was the name of that man who.
wouldn't sell his p''tabers here in'town.
for a dollar a bushel and went and
hauled 'em clear into the city and
then only got a .dollar for 'em?'
"By that time %Bowles's face had
got so red that he .didn't dare 'to trust
himself to speak; and he started to
gather up his (bundles,, which he'd
shifted to the %bench when he begun
to read his lecture. But, bein' so mad
at the things we was Ibringin' up, he
trembled so Ise couldn't stow 'em.

give us a chance for a few more re-
marks.
"'Seems to me too,' %O'bed Spanks
tuned up, 'I've heard of some man
that bought a hoss rake •b'fore he had
a ,place to house it, and it rusted so it
most sp'led; and when he did build a
place for it he was careless 'nough
to start a !brush (fire and 'burnt .the
,buildiu' and the Ihoss rake both. 'I
ain't namin' no names, but it was a
man in this neighborhood!'
"By this time," Caleb said enjoy-
ably, "Bowles had got his load ;pack-
ed so it wouldn't shift on hint, and
he started for home; and a madder-
loakin' man I ain't seen +lately. I
wa'n't real sorry, for we'd thorned
him 'nough to teach hint a lesson,
'Notiter thing, I didn't know 'but he

jest as soon he wouldn't, i didn't
know but he might fetch up some-
thing -like one time I worked two
days hewin' out an ex yoke and found
I'd made it wrong side to; it would
have 'broke an ox's neck to have pull-
ed in it, And I s'pose some of the
others had things they didn't want
fetched up. 'Anyway, nobody made a
stove to stop 'hint.
"Bat 'I'll bet," he summed isp
"that a man can pile his sawdust
where he's a'tnind to hereafter -for
all of Bowles anyway!"
SILK STOCKINGS COMPARA-
TIVELY NEW DEPARTURE
Research shows that in 1411:0 only
one of every 2,00(1.women on this con-
tinent wore silk hose. They paid from
$5 oto $2'5 a pair for them. (iN o won-
der so many didn't wear them.) To-
day manufacturers report that most
women itt the United States and Ca-
nada buy approximately 20 pairs of
silk stockings annually, paying from
50 cents to 411.95 a pair for them. This.
includes you who are reading this
curled up comfortably on the chester-
field!
Then again, in the early 19.00's, it
was fashionable to wear a stocking
made up of silk to the knee. From the
knee to the garter line, cotton was
used, that statistics do not show whe-
ther this was by reason of the manu-
facturers'trying to be fair to both the
silk worm and the boll weevil, The
heavier the silk, the more expensive
the stocking. Today, it is exactly the
reverse, we are told. Sheerness is indi-
cative of quality.
In colonial times, did you know the
well-dressed woman decorated her
knitted silk hosiery with fresh roses
every day . , . hosiery made from
the skin of unborn calves was very
popular in France during the reign of
Louis XIVt, I•n Sumatra, the women
always remove their stockings at meal
times, but sleep with them on. You'd
almost think they ate with their feet.
Superstitious maidens of Scotland
,believe that 'placing a yellow knitted
stocking under the pillow on which
they sleep .helps them to find a bus -
band, Now you know what to do. '
,Youth (by the sea) -"You tittle
thought a weak agothat you'd be
sitting on a lonely seashore with a
pian then unknown to you."
Maiden -00h, yes, I did."
Youth -",But dear, you didn't know
me then 1"
Maiden-'iOf course not, but I
knew niyseif."
Visitor (to angler at riverside), -
"Is this a good place for fish?"
Angler -"Yes, I never see any of
thein leave %t."
, FLORIDA CRACKER
I had promised our maid, a cracker
girl named Lee'th'a Paget, that on my
trip .across Florida I would stop at a
village called C'habee and tell her un-
cle that she was well land would be
home for a visit soon. Near th'e vil-
lage, I stopped at a weather'beaten ca-
bin to ask if I was on the right road.
The man who emerged' beat any
cracker I had seen, even the family of
six who lived In ;the ,clemrounted body
of an automobile. He was a shriveled
little man with a wrinkled, leathery
face and tiny eyes narrowed from a
chronically suspicious outlook on life.
He wore tattered, soiled trousers and
what :had once been 'a .dhirt-though
now it had no sleeves. To my inquiry
for directions 'he replied, with' the spir-
ited .distrust he felt on seeing I was
a •Northerner, "Ain't •goin' t'teil yuh."
On recovering tfnom this frank dec-
laration, I applied the attitude I had
found most effective for this 'behavior.
I told 'hen that was no way to act;
how would the like it if I said suoh a
thing to him up where I came from?
"Won't never ketoh me in no
Yankee %country," he said promptly.
Seeing that lecturing on sociability
was not 'working, I tried the theory
that no human being can refuse an..
other a drink of water -reducing him
to tractability was now more import-
ant to arc than locating the man I was
looking for.
"Nary a drop o' water roundabout
here," he told me, in a tone not so
much mean as simply ornery.
I pointed to alt obvious source, in
plain view in front of his cabin,
"That's a pump, isn't it?" I asked,
"Mebbe so,' he said. He was
caught; but as I walked toward the
pump he observed, "'Spect even a
dog's gat a right to water," e
•Ignoring this insult, I thought I
might win him by offering to pay for
the drink.
"No thing owed," he said.
I asked if I couldn't pay him for
something.
"Iffen you're lookin' for trouble,
you kin," he replied.
"I'm looking for a man named
Paget who lives in Chebee," I told
hien %firmly, "If I'm on the right
road."
"'Lots o' 'Pagets lis -in' hereabouts,"
he said stubbornly.
"'Then I'm on the right road?"
"You sayiti that, not rte."
"Hoke Paget," I explained.
"Nary un callin' hisse'f like that
known."
I had just about concluded he had
me licked, but decided to reesont my
whole story, and told hint my pur-
pose in looking ,forthis man. He
looked at me solemnly for a moment,
and I thought that this time he
wasn't going to reply at all. Then he
said, with no change of expression.
"Heck an' all, Mister, why didn't you
say so right off? l'nt Hoke Paget
You say Leetha's doing' rightly au'll
he cumin' hone visit'?"
GLAMOUR GIRLS VANISHING
FAST
The glamour girls are going fast
front the screen and Henry Kine. a
noted Hollywood director. is happy
about the whole idea,
intriguing artre-,e. always win ',e
in the foreground, but they resit „tier
more than lust feminine charm. de-
clared Mr, King.
"Mere ratan is beset with so many
problems these day's, Kin. witted
nut, "that he goes to the theatre for
music, comedy, or a stirring artistic
story, He wants to forget hi, tr_,ubles
-hose himself in the picture.
"The old -type glamour gir! ,y as no-
ticeably in the fore ground of each
film, but not always at integral part
of the picture. She rade an appeal to
the audience that teas direct.
"Actresses became known to the
public as ,glamour girls, became typed
in the public mind, and audiences
wouldn't accept then in any other
kind of a story or role afterward.
"Producers now are much smarter
than they were. Tiley change the type
of roles of their players from picture
to picture -with an eye not only to
present boxoffice demands but with
the .first intention of avoiding typing
star players -thus prolonging their
screen careers,
'As a case in point, Alice Faye
started in pictures a$ a singer. She
has been placed in first one type of
role and then another by Darryl F.
Zanuck ever since,
"Alice Faye decidedly is the new
type of screen .favorite, versatile,
beautiful and extremely talented.''
"I say, Pa," said little Touttnv,.
"didn't you tell me the other day that
it was wrong to strike anyone smaller
than yourself?" •
"Yes, Tommy, that's what I said,"
confessed the fond parent.
"Well, 'I 'w'ish you'd write my tea-
cher a note to that effect," said the
youngster, "I don't think she knows
about it."
Jasper -"Can you stand on you
head, Z
ambo?"
'Zambo-"Nope, it's too high!"

Alfalfa Increases Production
The alfalfa plant is remarkable for
its ability as increase production along
more line; than one. As a soil build-
ing crop it has £ew rivals. Its deep
rooting -characteristic •enables it to
make use :)f plant food reserves in tie
stsbsail, and 'being a legume, it en-
rich.s the soil with nitrogen through
the ction of nitrifying bacteria o'
ohxft it is i Iri;t. The alfalfa in the
r lathe improves: the fertility. of the
with resulting increases in the
ala tion of other craps The deep-
aoting habit also enables this crop
to gross eigaroustv and produce free-
ly spite of prolonged periods of dr':
weather.
The nutritious quality ,,f alfalfa hay
is recognized and highly prized as
means of in•areasittg praluction .+:t'•
all kind= of live stock. In addition. it
is •sne of the most prolective of lea:'
crops. In those part, if the canntri
which enjoy a .:ging rnongh .:;rowi:ta
period. tits crop .an 'be cut two at, --1
three times a season, producing lag•
tonnages per acre, and thus increased
production is obtained over piaat.,
than can 'be cut but once.
Esett the .more northerly parts
where elle season is short and only
one cutting can be made, large yield-
are obtained. For instance in North-
ern Ontario, where it is not yet con-
sidered advisable to sow this crop
atone, tate addition of a few- ,pounds
per acre of alfalfa to the usual hay
mixbure, has been found very worth-
while.
Heavy precipitation'throughout the
flue -cured to:bacco districts, together
with high temperature during the first
three weeks of August, 'promoted very
rapid ,growth of the tobacco crop.
Harvesting was retarded to some ex-
tent by the excessive moisture. but is
now aibout half completed and barring
an early- %Frost, a record crop will be
taken off. There is every indication
that a good quality yield will be ob-
tained..In the 'burley and dark tobac-
co types it is now estimated that the
losses caused . by, tobacco root -rots
will exceed those experienced Jn the
1937 crop,
