(CiiliyrlKlit 1005 by I>all> Ktory Pub. Co./
let me present Mr
“Mrs. Millmnn
Leonard to you.”
I bowed over the white hand that
van graciously extended and my host-
ess hunt led daintily away, confident
that she had brought together two peo-
ple who wanted to he brought to-
gether—perhaps to stay together for u
greater or less time.
So far as 1 was concerned, my host-
ess was both right and wrong. I was
anxious to meet Mrs. Mlllman—pos-
sibly a little too anxious for my sub-
sequent peace of mind, it hud been
long since we had last met and the
old hurt was not yet gone out of my
heart. How well t remembered the
parting—that sad swirl In the current
of life that had finally separated two
people who had been drifting uway
from each other for a long time.
Was It my fault? Was It hers? Was
It that of the mat she hud married
and who, I had learned, had recently
left her a widow? Was it my fault
that 1 wns not more ambitious? Was
It hers that she was not patient
enough? Was It his, that he had
everything to offer her from a worldly
point of view that I had not?
As I dropped the hand and uttered
some commonplace I glanced at her
face. She gave no sign of having rec-
ognized me and as 1 caught sight of
the reflection of my own bearded face,
bronzed with many wanderings, 1 was
not surprised. 1 had been Introduced
to her under my pen name, by which
I had be/ n known .'or years.
"I have been wondering, Mr. I,eon-
ard,” she said, "when I was going to
meet you. You social Hons are as
hard to meet as though you were real
czars, Instead of the arbiters of the
destiny of your characters. ”
"It Is very kind of you to be Inter-
ested in my isior literary efforts,” I
said, knowing of old the power of her
flattery.
"I like to meet clever people," she
replied, with an evident sincerity
which robbed the remark of Its bold-
ness. "1 have read all of your hooks
and especially the lust,
congratulate you on your success.
"Largely advertising, I assure you,”
I answered cynically. "We become
famous like breakfast foods or auto-
mobiles."
"I wonder what was the secret of
your success," she answered, with the
old roguish twinkle In her eye. "I
have found little evidence of a knowl-
edge of women In your hooks, and yet
your success rests largely upon what
the world /'alls your insight Into fem-
inine character."
She could say this—when every
character I had ever drawn had been
drawn with her for its model; when
for years her face had been before me.
drawn from a woman I knew—-believe
me, they are true to life.”
It wtis a cruel .hlng to say. Her
hand trembled a.-i It clasped her fan.
"You could not have understood
women thoroughly," she persisted, re-
covering herself with an effort. "You
make them act normally up to a cer-
tain point. Then they become mer-
cenary. |g>ve counts nothing with
them. They all marry for money or
position. Your last heroine, ‘Muriel
Vane,’ she iliil that; and her lover—
he shot himself, didn’t he? 1 skipped
the last chapters. You did not under-
stand your heroine, Mr. Leonard. Be-
ft
ii
/
Cave no sign of having recognized
me.
Not understand women? I understood
her, at any rate; at least I thought I
did slid by the process of tuductlou
I thought I knew all women.
Her remark nettled me.
•'We are on profitless ground. I
fear." I said, a hit stiffly. "I shan't
ask for your opinion of my eharaeters.
They have all been drawn from life. I
assure you all th< women, at least.
I might eonfess that most of them
have had one woman for their model."
A flush mounted Into her face and
her voice faltered when abe tried to
make It steady.
"Your women have not the true
womanly Instinct,” she said. "They
have beauty and Intellect—everything
womanly hut a heart.

A little golden locket.
lievc me It broke her heart to part
with her lover In that cold, hitter way.
It shadowed her life and nothing mat-
tered after that.”
"Yet she married well,” I said, scorn-
fully. "It was all a story. Of course
nothing like that ever happens in real
life."
The brutality of my cynicism
brought tears to her eyes and a sud-
I want to I dt-ti impulse came over me to take her
In tny arms and tell her that the lov-
er’s heart was broken, too; that his
life was shadowed and that In reality,
instead of shooting himself, he lived
to write his heart into his hooks.
But I resisted the impulse and spoke
more gently.
"Believe mo, Mrs. Mlllman, the book
Is true. ’Muriel Vane’ lived and loved
my hero—that Is. he thought she loved
him. bite sent him away In coldness
and a shadow fell upon his life which
can never he lifted."
"Never?” she asked, softly.
“I have no hope of it ever doing so,1
1 replied. "I know my model too
well.”
”1 am deeply Interested In the
story,” she said In a low voice; "es-
pecially in the ending. The story Is
so like my own.”
Her eyes never wavered as they
met mine, hut there was something In
their depths that thrilled me with a
vague hope.
“There was the lover, the heroine,
the tragedy of the parting, In my own
story,” she went on dreamily. "But
there the parallel ends. I was forced
to marry, forced to sacrifice myself.
The lover left me, I could do nothing
else."
Her voice faltered pathetically, and
again that rising hope mounted Into
my heart.
"You don't understand 'Muriel Vane'
at nil,” she said passionately. "She
wrote to her lover to come bark—
wrote many times. She told him that
love was all In nil; that she loved
him better than everything else In tho
world. The letters were never an-
swered. It was then that she married
—for money, the world said; but the
marriage was hateful to her and the
mon \v saved her father from commer-
cial ruin. She gave her husband re-
spect and honor, but her love she kept
sacred In her own heart, dedicated to
the memory of the old days. She
kept It enshrined with a tendril of
faded nrhutus.” J
Arbutus! The dear sweet symbol of |
our love of long ago! An agony of

Vane'—Harold."
For th/' first time she ha/1 railed me
by my name. 1 opened a locket at the |
eti/l of my watch chain and held It
out to her. There were petals of with-
ered arbutus Inside It, t/>o. They had
all been gathered that night in June
“Teach me to understand her,
Claire,” I said, humbly.
Since that hour 1 have been learn-
ing, learning a dear teacher's sweet,
old lesson, ever new.
WASTE PLACES OF THE SOUTH
They Are Rapidly Increasing In Value
Year by Year.
II Is u mutter of record that In
1895 In a certain rural community in
th// south six acres of land sol/I for
$13.88 or $2.33 an acre, says the
Southern Workman. Last year these
same six acres sold for $1,660 or
$276.66 an acre. Near this another
tract which to 1892 sold for 7« ecu
an acre sold In 1904 for $ 150 an acre.
All or this land in 1902 and 1895 wits
out in the country. It Is out In the
country now un/1 it Is used for funn-
ing purposes only. No speculators
have run its price up; no “boomers''
have lai/I off a city there and adver-
tised "corner lots." There Is no city
there, and the people have no inten-
tion of hull/ling one. Neither is there
even a cotton mill or other manufact-
uring concern there or anywhere In
that vicinity. People have lived there
for nearly 2<th years and tilled the soil
and that is what they are doing now.
Th/1 difference Is that for the first
time they are learning how to farm,
how to bring from lan/l formerly con-
sidered waste crops which sell at a
big profit. An/1 along with this and in
consequence of this they are learning
how to live comfortably in the coun-
try, how to build themselves homes,
how with others near them to build
up a community life and enjoy those
intellectual an/I social pleasures which
they were wont to consider possible
only in the town. Some “new Wood”
has been Introduced into this com-
munity, people who come down from
the northwest to engage in truck
growing, or any other kind of growing
the land was capable of, but the na-
tives, too, have bean stimulated and
thus assisted have gone to work to
better themselves and build up their
community.
Four-Footed Police.
That dogs make excellent detec-
tives is well known, but their use as
actual members of a police force is an
odd and Interesting experiment
which W. G. Fitzgerald describes In
his story, "Dog Police on Guard,” in
the December Technical World Maga-
zine.
“When the Ghent (Belgium), chief
of police ha/1 got his pack of ‘recruits'
together, he began to train them to
distinguish between skulking crimi-
nals and the ordinary, reputable citi-
zen, who walks by /lay. Some very
Interesting demonstrations and experi-
ments were tried by means of dum-
mies; and It is a fact that within a
few weeks the more intelligent dogs
had learned how to spring upon and
take hold of a man by his clothes
without driving their teeth into him.
"Special kennels were then built In
the police stations, with the name of
its occupant over the door of each.
Coats, collars and muzzles were pro-
vided by way of ’uniform,’ and there
wz-re even little boots provided for
snowy weather. A veterinary surgeon
was appointed at police headquarters
to car/- for the dog policemen when
they were sick, an/1 the matron at
each station was charged with the
duty of getting their meals ready
when each dog cant/- off duly with hit
two-legged fellow officer."

Agricultural Progress.
Tho census of 1850 gave the number
/if farms at 1,449,073. In that year
New York reported 170,C21, the lurgcst
number of any state. Only two other
stutes reported over 100,000. They
w.-re Ohio, with 143,807, and Pennsyl-
vania, with 127,577. In 1900 the aggre-
gate number of farms In the United
States was 5,739,057, an increase la fif-
ty years of 4,290,584 farms. The same
period witnessed an Increase In na-
tional population of 23,191,876. In
1900 fifteen states reported over 200,-
ottO farms each, as follows: Texas,
352,190; Missouri, 284,880; Ohio, 270,-
719; Illinois, 264,151; Kentucky. 234,-
667; Iowa, 228,622; Tennessee, 224,-
623; Pennsylvania, 224.248; Alabama,
223,280; Indiana. 221.897: Mississippi.
220.803; Michigan, 203,261. The total
Increase in acreage has been from
293,000,000 acres in 1850 to 841,000,000
In 1900.
The increase in value of farm prop-
erty during fifty years is shown by the
following census reports: 1850, $3,967,-
000,000; 1860, $7,980,000,000; 1870,
$8,944,000,000; 1880, $12,180,000,000;
1890, $16,082,000,000; 1900, $20,514,000,-
000. The average value per farm for
each census year was as follows: 1850,
$2,738; 1860, $3,904; 1870, $3,363: 1880,
$3,038; 1890, $3,523; 1900, $3,574.
In 1850 only eight states reported
farm lan/l to the value of $100,000,000
or over. In 1900 there were seven
states each with farm land worth
$800,000,000 or over.
In 1850 little farm machinery was In
use. Cast iron plows were about the
only plows to be found on the farms.
Grass was mowed with a scythe and
grain was cut with the scythe, sickle
or cradle. The threshing implement
was the flail. Since that time almost
innumerable farm implements have
been patented. The value of all farm
Implements (Including wagons and car-
riages) in 1850 was $151,000,000. By
1880 this value had increased to $406,-
000,000. In 1890 the value was $494,-
000,000, and In 1900 it was $761,000,-
000. Tho increased use of farm ma-
chinery has been largely the cause of
the enormous increase in agricultural
wealth.

A Good Rotation.
The rotation of crops has come to
be regarded as one of the necessities
of keeping up the condition of the
farm. Where farm animals are not
kept in considerable numbers, the
growing of one crop is sure to reduce
the fertility of the farm. Therefore
the growing of several crops Is advis-
able. One of the best rotations for
the general farmer In Illinois and like
states is that consisting of corn, cow
peas, wheat and clover. It always
pays for the general farmer to have a
few cows to assist him In the rotations
of the crops by pasturing /iff the crops
that can be pastured. With the rota-
tion above mentioned, the cow peas
can be sown In the corn at the time of
the last cultivation. These will make
a good growth and being legumes will
add to the soil a considerable portion
of nitrogen. After the corn is harvest-
ed the cows can be turned into these
peas which will still be green and
can he fed upon them until the frost
comes. Farmers that turn their cows
In upon the corn stocks would find it
safer to have a supply of cow pea foli-
age, that the animals may eat of both
et tho same time. Heavy losses have
been occasioned by pasturing of the
dry corn stocks. Tho cow peas may
be turned under in the late fall or
in spring and wheat sown. If tho wheat
Is sown in the tall immediately after
plowing the clover see/l can he thrown
upon the land at tho end of winter,
while the snow is still on the ground.
If spring wheat is to be sown the
clover can he sown with it. This will
give a crop of corn, a crop of cow
peas, a crop of wheat and the next
year following the wheat a crop of
clover and clover seed. The clover
sod can then be plowed under and
corn again put on. This will keep the
ian/1 rich in nitrogen and necessitates
only an occasional buying of some
form of phosphate.
next to the app//-. When a mun buys
a package of apples or grapes
he generally knows what he Is
getting. Grapes on tho Chicago
market are /if a more uniform
character than any other fruit.
During the fall months baskets of
grapes are sold by the thousands,
daily, an/I almost always the buyers
are satisfied with them. This year
they have been quite high front Ihe
consumers’ standpoint, this being tine
more to th/- fact that there has been
a big demand for them than to any
shortage of supplies.
Grapes are grown over a very wide
range of latitude, and every year new
vineyards are planted. It is now esti-
mated that the area in grapes is In
the neighborhood of half a million
acres. California is the great grape
grower, and that state grows about as
many grapes as all the rest of the
United States put together. The larg-
est single area planted to grapes is
that known as the “Lake Shore Grape
Belt” in New York an/1 Ohio. This be-
gins at Brocton In New York, and ex-
tends to Sandusky in Ohio, and is
limited on the north by Lake Erie. On
the south it extends to Lake Chau-
tauqua. In this region nearly all of
the farmers are engaged In the grow-
ing of grapes. The railroads are able
to furnish the growers with the best of
shipping facilities, and every day dur-
ing the grape-growing season whole
train loads of grapes go east and
west toward the great cities, where
most of the grapes are consumed.
At the present time there are hun-
dreds of varieties of grapes being
grown in this country. They are, how-
ever, descended from four chief fami-
lies: Vitis lahrusca, known also as the
Fox grape; Vitis aestivalis (summer
grape); Vitis cordifolia, sometimes
called the Frost grape, and Vitis vini-
fera, the kind generally grown In Eu-
rope. There are quite a number of
other species, but none that have
amounted to very much In cultivation.
The entire grape growing industry
hns grown up in about 85 years. In
1820 no more than two varieties of the
grapes now grown were known here.
The greatest advance has been made
within the past 50 years. Some of the
new grapes have been produced by
hybridization, but the most progress
has been made by cultivating chance
seedlings. In this way originated the
Concord grape, the most famous and
most valuable grape grown in the
United States east of the Rocky moun-
tains.

When Politeness Hurts.
"I came up In an elevator today.’
said the black-eyed Southern woman,
"and the men all took off their hats.
I was awfully proud and pleased. It
seldom happens in New York eleva-
tors.”
••I'd a lot rather they'd keep their
hats on,” observed the blue-eyed wo-
man. “than knock my eye out taking
them off. Last week 1 entered a po-
lite elevator, too. Off came the hats.
One Jabbed me In the eyebrow, an-
other in the left cheek, another nearly
knoeke/l my own hat off and th/-
fourth dislocated my necktie so that

again. Oh, yes, it’s a good deal safer.
I think, to let them keep them on. 1

A New Being.
Shepard, 111., Jan. 8th (Special)—
Mrs. Sarah E. Howe, who is residing
here, says she feels like "A New Be

enth year. Why? because she has
taken Dodd's Kidney Pills, that well
known medicine that has put new life
into old bodies, and has come as a
God-send into homes of sorrow and
suffering. She says:—
"No one knows what awful torture
I suffered with Rheumatism and Kid-
ney Trouble, until I got cured by
Dodd's Kidney Pills. This grand rem-
edy drove the Rheumatism out of my
body, nothing else ever did me any
good. Dodd’s Kidney Pills are worth
one hundred times their price, for they
have made me, though I am fifty-
seven years old, a new being. I atn

The Presence of Whitetop.
While visiting O/lln. 111., last year,
and Inspecting some of the meadows
around that place, the writer was talk-
ing with Professor Hopkins relative
to the presence of whitetop, which
seemed to have taken many fields.
Professor Hopkins made the remark;
"Whitetop never troubles in the
clover meadow.”
He had a demonstration of this at
hand, for one of the fields under his
control was an immense meadew of
red clover that stood twenty-four
Inches high. The whole field was a
mass of green leaves an/l red blooms,
and If there was any whitetop there It
was out of sight. One /if the farmers
remarked that hts brother's farm was
so overrun with whitetop that the hay
was of little value. Whitetop is a great
pest where It is allowed lo get the
upper hand of tho farmer, but if a field
is well cultivate/1 and the /-lover crop
established, no whitetop will appear.—
Farmers’ Review.
How Much Clover Seed Per Acre.
It requires In the neighborhood of
15 pounds of clover s/e/l to give the
best results In the sowing of land de-
voted to the- growing of clover only.
If It Is to be seeded with a nurse
crop, less clover seed will be needed.
It Is usual to see/l on the snow above
the wheat ficl/1 that is already green
with the wheat sowed In the fall. In
such a case eight pounds of clover
seed should be enough.
Pick Off Caterpillar Eggs.
When the trees are bare Is the time
to hunt the caterpillar eggs and re-
move them from the branches. If this
can be done in December, it should be
done at that time, because the days
are mild, and a boy can climb about
the tree tops without being exposed
to the cold winds that will Interfere
with the work later in the winter.
The eggs will be found in clusters or
rings about the twigs and smaller
branches. They are easily recognized,
and cutting them out will prevent tho
appearance of the colonies next spting.
Tho sooner the work Is done the more
certain will the orchard owner be that
the clusters of eggs will not be for-
gotten. Next spring there will be a
great many things to do, and it is very
easy not to find time then for work of
this kind.
Laying Down Peach Trees.
In some parts of the west the laying
down of peach trees is being practiced
on a considerable scale. A hole is dug
around the tree and this hole is filled
with water. This softens up the
ground and the trees can then be
bent at the roots. They are laid down
till nlmost level with the ground.
Some coarse material, like gunny sack-
ing. is thrown over them, and over this
is piled the earth. In the spring,
after the danger of hard freezes is
past, tho trees are taxon out of their
protection. This must be done before
growth starts. The trees, when right-
ed, have to he propped up and kept
propped throughout the season. The
results have been very good so far,
and much Is hoped for from the ex-
periments carried on.
Cave Stored Fruit.
A writer on the storage of
apples for winter keeping says
that the digging of a cave for
the winter storage of fruit Is feasible
and is often practiced In some parts
of the country, but that certain things
have to be carefully observed, to make
the practice a success. The cave
should he dug in clean zllrt and in a
plnce that will receive no drainage
and no seepage. Sand or gra/ol Is
best of all. The cave should 4iave a
./outhern exposure, so that the frost-
line will he less deep. The top of the
cellar should he just below the frost-
line. Little wood or vegetable matter
should bo present. No liny or straw
is needed. The apples should not be
piled too high or the lower ones will
ho bruised. Such a rave must be built
so It can be entered at will.
Effect of the Auto Craze.
Just how badly some men have the
automobile habit was shown on Broad-
way the other night by a man and
woman who were spinning down that
thoroughfare In a little open touring
car. The man, Who was driving the
car, was In formal evening dress, a
crush hat on his head and his white
tie and waistcoat showing under his
long gray top coat. The woman by his
side wore a heavy white veil over hot-
head and her gown was covered with
a big cloak. Seated by her side at
her feet on the step was the chauffeur,
whose duties so far as that run was
concerned, were purely ornamental.—

Chance for Wilde's Creditors.
In Paris, where the French transla
tion of the late Oscar Wilde's "Do
Profundls" has found an extensive
sale, it Is thought to bo not unlikely
that things will happen over the ver

INCIPIENT CONSUMPTION.
How Food Headed Off the Insidious
Disease.
The happy wife of a good old fash-
ioned Michigan farmer says:
"In the spring of 1902 I was taken
sick—a general breaking down, as it
were. 1 was excessively nervous,
could not Bleep well at night, my food
seemed to do me no good, and I was
so weak I could scarcely walk across
the room.
"The doctor sai/l my condition was
due to overwork and close confine-
ment and that he very much feared
that consumption would set In. For
several months I took one kind of
medicine after another, but with no
good effect—In fact, 1 seemed to grow
worse.
"Then 1 determined to quit nil medi-
cines, give up coffee and see what
Grape-Nuts fz/od would do for me. I
began to eat Grape-Nuts with sugar
and cream an/l bread and butter three
times a day.
“The effect was surprising! I be-
gan to gain flesh and strength forth-
with, my nerves quieted down an/I
grew normally steady and sound,
sweet sleep came back to me. In six
weeks' time I discharged the hlre/l
girl and commenced to do my own
housework for a family of six. This
wsa two years ago. and I am doing It
still and enjoy It.” Name given by
