Aunt Lavinia y for company. They
take their meals at Miss Peck's,
where other Clifford faculty mem-
bers gather. When Throatily is
rude to talkative MrsL Washburn
his action is misinterpreted as
kindness -by a new teacher, Sus-
an Harm, who tells him how
much she admires him
for it.
Now he feels he must explain.
That night, as he sat • in his study
correcting English papers, his mind
informed him with more force than
respect that this waiting for precise-
ly the right occasion was nonsense.
He set ,himself to think of a time at
once, tomorrow, to get this small mat-
ter over with. It would be easiest to
make an occasion in her classroom
at the primary school. The' regular
routine of his supervising took him
there once in so often. He would ar-
rive near the . end of the afternoon
session, and stay on after the children
had gone. -
Yet, when the next afternoon he
stood beside the teacher's desk, his
mouth was unexpectedly dry as he
said: "I feel a little tired, Miss Bar-
ney, after my round of visits, I be-
lieve I'll just sit here for a moment
after, yqu have dismissed the class."
Alarmingly young she seemed to
the man who sat waiting for his
voice to come under his control and
who knew well how fatigue added
years to his own aspect. He had
been made to consider laying in such
callow untried hands the potential
dynamite he, had . brought with him.
He was again not sure what was best
to do, what was safe to do. Ile wait-
ed:
The silence and the softly dusty
sunlight lay like an amber pool
around the feet of the man waiting
to feel surer ,,of himself. The young
teacher, gave a small yawn, and look-
ed apologetically at the .visitor to see
it he .had noticed it. Absurd that this
should -give him the reassurance he
needed. Without bringing the front.
legs of his chair oto the floor, his head
still tipped back against the wall, he
iheard -his voice, natural, unhurried,
unemphatic, just as he would have
had it, begin to explain to Susan 'Bar-
ney his real reason for what had look-
ed to her like kindness • to old Mrs.
Washburn.
She sat up, she laid both hands flat
on her desk, she leaned forward a
little as if not to lose a single one
of the astonishing words.
She said nothing at first. When

3.28 The answer to that particular ques-

3.45 he remembered that Miss Peck, loom -
3.58 ing large in the girl's life just now,
probably was the blankest of enigmas
to her. "When I came to Clifford
twenty-two years ago," he began in a
tone of leisurely narratrive, - "Miss
Peck was living with her latl'ier. Her
mother died when she was a little
girl, You've perhaps heard older
Clifford people talk about Lawyer

She nodded,

i'ke a dumb ljttle girl that's just been

everything wrong, twisting her fin-

"I wash you could figure out mjv sic.

such a lot to know whether she real-

He was abashed, and answered in
confusion. "I'm afraid there's very
little that's reliable to be done abort
figuring out young people. The point
is, don't you see, that when every-
thing. has :happened to a person that's
going to -an older person like Mrs.
Washburn ."
_ She got up from her child's grace-
ful cruch on the low .platform, walk-
ed around the desk, sat down in her
teacher's chair again, placed her
clasped hands on the desk before her
in the teacher's pose.. "You didn't
understand what I was trying to say
that evening, Mr: Hulme," she said
earnestly. "It wasn't just only Mrs.
Wdshburn I was thinking about . . .
He tried to help.her out. ' I know.
I know. You did make . me under-
stand. You had a moment of gener-
ous happiness when you naught
there was; some real kindness in the
world, more than you'd . . .
She cut him short, impatient with
his misunderstanding, "That's what I
was afraid you thought. It was not
generous. It wasn't even . Mrs. Wash-
burn I was thinking about. It was
my sister Delia and me. I'd always
thought that nobody tares, not really,
about anybody but his own folks. So
when I saw you being nice to that
silly old woman, why, it 'seemed to
me all of a sudden that maybe we
weren't so all by ourselves, Delia and
I. But when I tried to' tell you, I
couldn't seem to think of any way to
say it that wouldn't sound as if 'I
was asking you to be sorry for us
. - ." She held her head high, her
gray eyes sternly bade him• pity her
at his peril. '
"It doesn't sound like that. Not in
the least!" he assured her,' his heart
pounding in the sympathy she had
not' asked 'for, and stopped 'short, hf
eyes. fixed on the knob-'oth°edoer. It
was slowly being turned.
The door opened, revealing the jan-
itor in faded overalls stooping to
pick up a pail. He had plodded sev-
eral steps into the ,room before he
saw that the superintendent was still
there; in the visitor's chair, and the
teacher on the, platform behind her
desk.- "Oh, I didn't know as anybody
'Was here, Professor Hume," he said,
setting down the pail. "I better do
some other room'first, mebbe?"
Mr. Hulme stood up, • reaching for
the'hat he had left poised on the geo-
graphy globe. "No, go ahead, Elmer,"
he said easily. "I'm just about
through with what I had to say to
Miss Barney." To the teacher he add-
ed in all confidence, "I think I'm go-
ing your way, Miss Barney. We could
ga along together and finish up thi's
matter on the way."'
But she, bending her head Over the
papers on her desk,' murmured with
a sudden shyness, "Thank, you, Mr.
Hulme. I have 'a little `work to dp
before I go."
"Good ,afternoon," he said 'stiffly,
put his hat on, went through the door
-2-shut it behind him, and walked.
down the corridor, his steps echoing
dismally in the empty building. - He
was furious.
He had just laid his hand on the
front door knob when he heard the
click of a lifted latch at the other
end of the hall. dusan Barney'S voice
called, "Mr. Hulme!"
He halted, said gruffly, "Yes?"
Turned around and took off his hat
as if grudging the gesture.
She came close to him She was
breathing rapidly, but she said at
once, "Maybe there isn't any more
kindness in the world than I thought.
But there's more honorableness;
He felt it was the first time he had
ever seen her, the first time he had
ever seen anyone. Turning away ra-
ther quickly she walked back to her
classroom, shutting the • door behind
her.
Lying on h.is bed that night, Timo-
othy Hulme knew very well what was
happening to -what was likely to•
happen to him. The clock in, the
tower of St. Andrew's sounded out
an indifferent two, not caring what
sleepless ears might • hear it. But
sleep was almost within reach now.
He began to feel drowsy. And turn-
ing his bead on the pillow was sur-
prised to see the sun framing his
drawn shades with a sparkling line
of gold. He must have been 'a;sleep
for hours. He stretched, rolled out
of bed, yawned, let his shades' snap up.
to the top, and looked Out.
'What 'Sp'lendor, what - sunyptuous
Venetian magnificanoe our VerYnont
October's are," cried Timothy Hulme,
"and that a"Ppity. we don't live more

tain? Or if, not .that, one of the lit-
tle abandoned' farts on a back ,road;,
that sold for. nothing. It would be e
retreat, a week -end hermitage.
Exhilarated, 'Ilmotliy Hulme raced
down the stairs, three steps at a
time, found the coffee not too bad and
told Aunt Lavinia about his plan.
"Susan Baraey'e sister here for the
week -end," remarked Aunt Lavinia.
"I've asked them both for tea today
at four." .
"Very. well then," he agreed, get-
ting up from the table.
To do decent honor to Aunt La-
vin ia's guests, he eanke back- to the
house after his last afternoon reci-
tation, washed - his face and hands
and changed his clothes. It was a
becoming outfit, and he was not sur-
prised by the admiration, respectful,
almost intimidated, in the eyes of -the
two country girls when he joined
them before the ,hearth fire.
Susan had a hat on, not a good, hat.
It hid most of her spun silk hair, and
coming down too far on her head,
covered the broad, arch of her brow.
She looked almost plain. That' must
have been a dream' last night. The
much -talked -of sister Delia, was a
chubby, blaek-haired dowdy adoles-
cent. ,
Susan and Aunt Lavinia soon went
into the kitchen to get the tea things.
Left with .the sister, the Principal
prepared to get out the series of key
questions he used for diagnosing ad-
olescents.
He had little to do with the con-
versation after the tea came in. E'c
Einguished under the gracee1ess
Susan was passing .him the plate of
toasted crackers. He took one and
gave her his perfunctory company
smile of thanks, delighted to see that
she was plain. Susan incautiously
started Aunt Lavinia by renl,arkin.g:
"I wonder if I didn't see your fephew
here once, Mr. Hulme. When I was
a student at the Academy, One Sun-
day afternoon when. you were reading
aloud, there was . a young man here
who looked 'a litle like you. He call-
ed you Uncle Tini, I think:"
"Very likely. When he vas at col-
lege Canby.often used to come up
for the week -ends. But he is not,"
sair Timothy Hulme with unnecessary
firrnriess, `"in the least related to me.
He is my sister-in-law's nephew. I
think you must be mistaken about his
looking like, me." He liked Canby
Hunter well enough, perhaps more
than any other of the innumerable
boys he had helped educate, he lik-
ed his ugly face with its undershot
jaw and its hit-or-miss assortment of
inharmonious features inherited from
God knew what conflicting strains of
ordinary people. Canby was all
right. But to say that he looked like
a Hulme' . . !
Most Farms Can
Plant More Trees
There is hardly a farm in Canada
that has not:one or more ar'eas un-'
suitable for cultivation, perhaps just
an acre. here and an acre ihere,'These
areas can be made to grow trees
which will prove profitable. ,
Many of these patches are good
soil but cannot be cultivated because
of stones or steel) inclines, ideal con-
' ditions for good tree growth. Then
there are species of trees that thrive
well on the poor, dry, sandy soils.
There is no part of the farm except
the bare 'rocks that will not grow
trees of one species or another,
states, the Dominion. Forest Service.
Trees may be grown from seed
sown in the field but for a number
of reasons it is more profitable to
plant seedlings which have been
started in a free nursery.
A number of the provii ces main-
tain large tree nurseries from which
planting stock may be . secured at
very little 'cost.' The., nominfpn De-
partment of Agriculture supplies
planting stock for sheiterbelt plant-
ing in the prairie provinces from the
Forestry Station at Indian Head and
Sutherland, Sask. There are one or
more .commercial tree nurseries in
nearly every- province from which
planting stock rua.y be purchased.
The season for planting is early
spring before the seedling buds begin
to open, not later than the end of
May.
The first important rule .is to' fence
off the plantation area from grazing
stock. •
The species should be selected, to
suit the site, ,Moist clay -loam ,soils
are adapted to maple, yellow birch,
and spruce; while the pines will
thrive on' dry sandy 'sites.
It is well to keep in mind that the
little plant roots and rootlets are
very delicate 'and 'should never be
left exposed to 'the air.
Much that is accomplished through
agricultural research is useful to oth-
er sciences. As matter of tact, there
