love or
a?nn —and showed more nn<1 more as
she went on. Some one laughed—then
there was an unmistakable titter alone;
the line. Still Sally passed on, keep-
ing her temper as never before. Was
not the old man right about the effect
of laughter?
But now the temper loosed itself
slowly—her face was scarlet. She had
nearly reached the married men. Some
one whispered:
"Gosh! He's git ting even by sacking
hor!"
This was repeated. There was more
laughter and more tittering. The
crowd deserted the lines nearest the
church and followed Sally down on
either side In huge tumultuous pha-
lanxes to see what would happen—if
it were possible that she would have to
go home alone. Several young men
v/ho had never dared to approach her
began to think of it. They knew that

I would take any ono of them! There
was more tumult now than laughter.
And Sally's face grew so while that
her eyes blazed like stars in the midst
of it.
Seffy quailed He recognized the
temper—only he had never seen it- as
terrible as this. He had forgotten Sam.
It was only Sally he saw, as one see3
with fear stalled nerves the locomotive
as it leaps upon him.
And the onlookers, crowding at the
sides, thought it a great and terrible
hand to hand battle—to wait that way
till the last moment and then to spring
like tigers—or a piece of tremendous
niter- | foolishness.

Seffy dreads tho church ordeal.
IX.
It Was Seffy Who Was "Sacked."
Ho they three went to church on a
certain Sunday. Sally sat on the
"women's side" and Seffy and Sam on
the "men's side" in full view or the
♦'audience"—which perceived and un-
derstood and was ready at the proper
lime to applaud, from the ijreaeher to
(lie sexton—to raise or lower its
thumbs upon the combatants.
When the benediction had been said j
Seffy hastened out and found himself:
n place—close to the door, according
to his father's word—in one of the ;
lines of young men which stretched
on either side of the path from the j
church door to the road beyond, nt
least a quarter of a mile. Hut he did i
not gee Sam. Some one pushed in
front of him. And, instead of com-
batiug for his position, he yielded it ;
and found one further down, still seek-
ing the location of his rival. He was
crwded from this one, too, and he let
it go and sought another one because
ho I ad not seen Sam. And it was nec-
essary to his father's scheme, he re !
membered, that. Sam anil he should be
about opposite. Of course, all this
was error. His place was right by the
church door. That was where Sally
had a right to expect to find him. It
liad become a public matter, too. The
intbiic had its rights. Ii expected him
there, even if he had to shed the blocd
of noses to stay there, This liad < : <*u
happened. Hut he was bewildered in
the contradictory courses advised by
liis father, atidv tin.illy, sctiking that
which seemed best, found that  !>'<
was worst. Dull Seffy!

found a lodgment for hiim;.if i |, .

You Roe that Sam had not forgotten
Seffy for a moment, even if Seffy had
forgotten him. Ho stopped noiselessly
three paces toward Sally, crossed in
front of Seffy and took her arm. There
was a laugh almost ribald. Seffy could
not see clearly—he could, least of all,
think clearly—he did not know what
had happened. He saw only the little
white signal before him and blindly
put out his arm.
It did not reach Sally at all. but Sam
who turned and said with an imitation
of girlish politeness:
"Thank you, Mr. Huumgartner, I'm

And, Sally, her face flaming with
vengeance, took the trouble to turn
back and cry—not Into his ear, but
into his very heart:

cried out as poor Seffy slunk away:
"Give her back her dollar!"
And another:

Seffy quailed and drew back from
the line—it was the instant that
makes or mars—and he had lost He

fectly proper—but he followed the
man who had but a moment before

jeers followed him.

disrespect than she had ever ad.
dresBed to any one:
"You ought to be glad that I do not
take revenge on him! If he wasn't so
little I would. But he's not worth
bothering about. Sacked me, did he?
I'll show him!"
"Why, Sally! What would you do?"
"Put him over my knee and spank
him and then pen him in the cellar!"
"Sally, don't talk like that," pleaded
the old man. "it sp'lles your voice."
And Sally gave him then and there
a rude specimen of how her voice was
being spoiled—which 1 may not re-
produce. But It was expressed la
anathema. Indeed, others had tfoticed
that her voice, somehow, had lo*t Its
soft richness. She wa* particularly
kind to the young storekeeper now,
and ho was particularly reckless and
drunken. And rumor presently had it
that she was known to be drunk with
him sometimes!
"Sally—" said Seffy timorously, one
day, (he had waited to tell her this)
"you don't think—you don't believe-
that I—said "
"I know," said Sally in voice that
froze him, "that you are a fooi—and 1
am not fond of fools Go away! Ho
glad I don't lick you!"
And then rumor had it that she ant
Sam were to bs married—"for spite.'
But, curiously enough, the person
most affected by all this was not Sal
ly, nor Seffy, nor Sam. It was Seffy'i
father, whose sufferings were nearing
agony. Nothing could be done with
Seffy. And course cf the love between
them, which had never been ruffled
since Seffy was born, was often ruffled
now. The old man, as their relations
grew strained, became more and more
exasperated at Seffy's lack of initia-
tive.
"Gosh a'mighty! You goin' to let
that molasses tapper set right down on
you and nefer git off? Can't you see
that she wants you? It don't matter
what she says! Don't you know it's a
dare? Air you going to take a dare?
Why, you usen't to when you was a
baby! When you year that durned
new laugh of Sally's can't, you see that
Bomcsing's wrong? She's drinking!
That's what! You think she'd laugh
so and drink if she wass happy? You
was a fool—yas, a durn fool. It's your
fault. Go right up to her like a man
and say so."
"I did," said Seffy.
"Hah, you did? An' what she says?"
"She said she knowed it!"
"Well—begoshens! She's a worse
fool. Gather her in and make a fool
off of her and git efen! Turning her
back on an ol' man that harms no one
—and her guardeen ylt!"
Alas, this was another thing he had
done to secure the pasture-field—
made himself her legal guardian!
"I'll gife it up—the guardeen. Yas-
sir. She ken take koer herself. Fool
—of course. Hose fools! You wail
tell she marries that durn molasses
tapper if you want to see fun!"
There was such real agony in the
old man's voice that Seffy suffered
too.
"Pappy, I'm sorry—I ain't no good
I expect. I gues3 I'll go away before
the wedding."
"Wedding—wedding! You goin' tc |
let that wedding go on? And him git j
the pasture-field? Put him between
us and the railroad!"
How can I stop it, pappy?"
"By marrying her yourself!"
"I got enough, pappy," said S 'tT*
hopelessly. "They'd lynch me if I
tried it atjaln. I guess I'd better gc 1
away."
Quick anger flamed in his father'? |
face at this invertebrate submission i
And his voice, when he spoke, was
harsher than Seffy had ever heard it.
"Got enough—got enough—that's all
you know! And go away! That's all ;
you ken say, you bull-headed idjiot! 1
Go and apologize and git her back. !
Don't run. Then marry her next day. j
That'll settle the molasses-tapper, I
expect, and show that you got an inch
or two of backbone! Choke her—
chloroform her and carry her off!"

So long as
the order is invincible. But when- j

But what is the meaning of the word
cooperation?" To "operate" means 1 , . ,, , , .

strength, end to "cooperate" means to
work jointly with others, to "pull to- '

It is a simple matter—just to blend
our energies with those of our neigh-
tage of such foolish marketing and
bid prices down to such a low point
ihat there would be no profit left for
them, and they would be forc.od to
quit the business.
But the farmer will force upon the
market, within about three months, a
crop that it take3 himself and family
bors. It is making a single human
machine out of many individual brains
and hands. We need not and ought
not to lose our individuality, but our
aims and the objects we wish to ac-
complish must be in common with
those of our neighbors. It may spring
from the most selfish motives, or from
perfect altruism, but whatever be the
motives that inspires it, cooperation
multiplies individual effort and pro j
duces results, far beyond what could j
be accomplished through the panic
individuals acting separately or inde-
pendently, and not in harmony.
This is emphatically an age of or-
ganization. The church is organized;
merchants are organized, bankers are
organized—and why not the farmers?
It is right to organize for legitimate
purposes, so long as no effort is made
to trample upon the rights of others.

making another crop for these organ-

iVlen and Women of To Day Have No
Time for Such Occupation.
It Is a well-known fact that nobody
writes letters nowadays. It Is true we
spend a vast deal of time at our writ-
ing table, that we consume untold
quantities of ink and nibs, while our
stationery bill is by no means tho
most modest item of our ever-increas-
ing expenditure. Hut we neither
write n >r receive letters. The utmost
we do is to "dash ofT notes" In an*
sw r to invitations, to "scribble a few
lines" of congratulation or sympathy,
as the case may be, with a friend; to •
express briefly but forcibly our satis- ,
faction with our dressmaker, or our
surprise at our milliner's account As
for our absent relations, on the rare
occasions when we remember their ex-
isteuce at all, we send them our love
on a post card with a few details
about tho weather, ending in "tearing
haste' with the hope that they will
write soon and tell us all their news.
Of course, they never do, which is just
as well, as if they did we should in
all probability nev.?r have time to
wade through their letters.—L'lncon

Test Satisfactory—to Himself.
A recent number of Slmplizlssimus
tells this "story with a moral": "The

rector was sleepless. He wondered*
whether the bank police were really j

An old man lay dying, so the story
goes, and gathered nls seven sons
around him. He Lade th*m bring him
a bundle of seven sticks tied together,
and each ron in turn ried lo break
the bundle, but could not. Untying
the bundle, even the youngest child
broke each stick easily. WNiat a lesson
in cooperation! Members of the Farm-
ers' Union, let the motto. "United we
house, and they belong to the Mer-
cantile Association, through which
they are able to price uniform or mini-
mum prices, and with the goods in
ihe warehouses they are able to hold
the goods away from the world until
the world will pay their prices. Thus
when the retailer goes to buy goods
lie has to pay the wholesalers' price;
and when the retailer gets them, in-
stead of peddling them out at any old
price (as the farmer does his prod-
; nets) he places 'em in his store or
warehouse, preparatory to holding
iliem for a price. And the majority
of these gentlemen belong to the Mer-
cantile Association and with the goods
