CHAPTER I— Continued
I had no intention of allowing him
to Bee that I was irritated I drew out
my cigarette caBe and passed it across
the table
“After you! They’re made Quite
specially for me in Madrid"
“You forget that I never use tobaccp
In any form"
“You always did miss a good deal of
the joy of living” I observed throwing
my smoking match into his waste-
paper basket to his obvious annoy-
ance "Well I’m the bad boy of the
story -books but I'm really sorry my
Inheritance has a string tied to it I'm
about out of money I suppose you
wouldn't advance me a few thousands
on my expectation — ”
“Not a cent” he declared with quite
unnecessary vigor and I laughed
again remembering that in my old
appraisement of him generosity had
not been represented in large 'figures
“It’s not in keeping with yodr grand-
father's wishes that I should do so
You must have spent a good bit of
money in your tiger hunting exploits"
he added
“I have spent all I had!' I replied
amiably "Thank God I'm not a clam!
I've seen the world and paid for it and
I ask nothing of you You undoubt-
edly share my grandfather’s idea of
me that I'm a wild man who can't
alt still or lead an orderly decent life
but I'm going to give you a terrible
disappointment What's the size of
the estate?”
Pickering eyed me — uneasily I
thought — and began playing with a
pencil I never liked Pickering's
hands they were thick and white and
better kept than I like to see a man's
hands
“I fear It’s going to be disappointing
In his trust-company boxes here I
have been able to find only about ten
thousand dollars worth of securities
Possibly — quite possibly — we were all
deceived in the amount of his fortune
Sister Theresa wheelled large sums
out of him and he spent as you will
see a small fortune on the house at
Annandale without finishing -it It
wasn't a cheap proposition and in its
unfinished condition it Is practically
valueless You must know that Mr
Glenarm gave away a great deal of
money in his lifetime Moreover he
established your father You know
what he left — it was not a small for-
tune 4s those things are reckbned"
I was restless under this recital My
father’s estate had been of respectable
size and I had dissipated the whole of
It My conscience pricked me as I
recalled an item of (10000 that I bad
spent — somewhere grandly— on an ex-
pedition that I led with considerable
satisfaction to myself at least
through the Sudan But Pickering's
words amazed me
“Let me understand you” I said
bending toward him “My grandfather
was supposed to be rich and yet you
tell me you ’find little property Sister
Theresa got money from him to help
build a school Ilow much was that?"
' “Fifty thousand dollars It was an
open account His books show the ad-
vances but be took no notes”
“And that claim is worth — ?”
“It is good as against her Individu-
ally But she contends — "
“Yes go on!”
1 had struck the right note He was
annoyed by my persistence and his ap-
parent discomfort pleased me
“She refuses to pay She says Mr
Qlenarra made her a gift of the money”
“That's possible isn’t it? He was
forever making gifts to churches
iSchools and theological seminaries
were a sort of weakness with him"
“We’ll pass that If you get this
money the estate Is worth (GO 000 plus
the value of the land out there at
Annandale and Glenarm House Is
worth — "
“There you have me!"
It was the first lightness he bad
shown snd it put me on guard
“I should like an Idea o? Its value
Even an unfinished house is worth
something"
“Iand out there is worth from $100
to $100 an acre There’s an even hun-
dred acres I'll be glad to have your
appraisement of the house when you
get there”
“Humph! You (latter my Judgment
Pickering The loose stuff there Is
worth how much?”
“It's all In the library Your grand-
father's weakness was architecture — “
“So I remember!” I Interposed re-
calling my stormy Interviews with
John Marshall Glenarm over my
choice of a profession
“In his last years he turned more
and more to his books He placed out
there what la I Biipiuise the finest col-
lection of books relating to architec-
ture to be found In this country That
was his chief bobby after church af-
fairs as you may remember and he
rode It hard Hut he derived a great
deal of satisfaction from his studios”
I laughed again It was easier to
laugh than to cry over the situation
“I suppose be wanted me to sit down
there surrounded by works on archi-
tecture with thp Idea that s study of
the subject would be my only resource
The scheme is eminently Glenarmian!
And all I get Is a worthless house a
huidred acres of land $10000 and a
-doubtful claim against a Protestant
nun who hoodwinked my grandfather
into setting up a school for her Bless
' you heart man so far as my inherl-
I tance is concerned it would have been
money In my pocket to have stayed In
Africa”
“That's about the size of It”
“But the personal property is all
mine — anything that's loose on the
plape Perhaps my grandfather plant-
ed old plate and government bonds
just to pique the curiosity of his heirs
successors and assigns It would be
In keeping!” f f
I had walked to the window and
looked out across the City As I turned
suddenly I found Pickering's eye bent
upon me with curious intentness I
had never liked his eyes they were
too steady When a man always meets
your gaze tranquilly and readily It is
just as well to be wary of him
“Yes no doubt you will find the
place literally packed with treasure”
he said and laughed TWhen you find
anything you might wire me”
He smiled the idea seemed to give
him pleasure
"Are you Bure there's nothing else?”
I asked "No substitute — no codicil?”
“If you know of anything of the kind
It's your duty to produce it We have
exhausted the possibilities I'll admit
that the provisions of the will are un-
usual your grandfather was a pecu-
liar man In many respects but be
was thoroughly sane and his faculties
were all sound to the last”
“He treated me a lot better than I
deserved” I said with a heartache
that I had not known often In my Irre-
sponsible life but I could not afford
to Bhow feeling before Arthur Picker-
ing I picked up the copy or the will and
examined It It was undoubtedly au-
thentic It bore the certificate of the
I Found Pickering’s Eyes Bent Upon
clerk of Wabana county Indiana The
witnesses were Thomas Bates and
Arthur Picketing
“Who Is Bates?” I asaed pointing to
the man's signature
“One of your grandfather's discov-
erles lie's In charge of the house out
there and a trustworthy fellow He’s
a fair cook among other things I
don't know ' where Mr Glenarm got
Bates but he had every confidence In
him The man was with him at the
end”
A picture of my grandfather dying
alone with a servant while I his only
kinsman wandered In strange lands
was not one that I could contemplate
with much satisfaction My grand-
father had been an odd little figure of
a man who always wore a long black
coat silk bat and carried a curious
silver-headed staff and said puzzling
things at which everybody was afraid
either to laugh or to cry The thought
of him touched me now I was glad to
feel that his money bad never been
a lure to me It did not matter whether
his estate was great or biujiII I could
at least ease my conscience by obey-
ing the behest of the old man whose
name I bore and whose Interest In the
finer things of life and art had given
him an undeniable distinction
“I should like to know something of
Mr Glenarm's last days” I said ab-
ruptly '
“He wished to vUtt the village where
he was born and Bates his companion
and servant went to Vermont with
him lie died quite suddenly and was
buried beside his father in the old vil-
lage cemetery I saw mm last early
in the summer I was away from
home snd bid not know of his death
until it was all over Bates came to
report It to roe and to sign the neces-
sary papers In probating the will It
had to he done In the place of the de-
cedent’s residence and we went to-
gether to Wabana the seat of the
county In which Annandale lies”
I was silent after this looking out
toward the sea that had called me
since my earliest dreams of the world
that lay beyond it
“Its a poor stake Glenarm” re-
marked Pickering consolingly and I
wheeled upon him
“I suppose you think It a poor stake!
I suprose you can't see anything la
that c' l man’s life beyond his money
but 1 don't care a curse wbat my In-
heritance is! I never obeyed any of
my grandfather's wishes In his life-
time but now that he's dead his last
wish is mandatory I'm going out
there to spend a year if I die for it
Do you get my idea?”
“Humph! You always were a
stormy petrel” he sneered “I fancy
it will be safer to keep our most agree-
able acquaintance on a strictly busi-
ness basis If you accept the terms
of the will — "
“Of course 1 accept them! Do you
think I am going to make a row re-
fuse to fulfill that old man’s last wish!
I gave him enough trouble in his life
without disappointing him In his
grave I suppose you’d like to have
me fight the will but I'm going to dis-
appoint you”
He said nothing but played with his
pencil I had never disliked him so
heartily he was so smug snd comfort-
able His office breathed the very
spirit of prosperity I wished to finish
my business and get away
“I suppose the region out there has
a high death rate How's the ma-
laria?” "Not alarmingly prevalent I under-
stand There's a summer resort over
on one $!de of Lake Annandale The
place la really supposed to be whole-
some I don't believe your grand-
father had homicide in mind In send-
ing you there”
“No he probably thought the rusti-
cation would make a man of me Must
I do my own victualing? I suppose I'll
be allowed to eat”
“Bates can cook for you He'll snp-
Me With Curious Intentnesa
ply the necessities I'll Instruct hln
to obey your orders I assume you'l
not have many guests — In fact” — he
studied the back of his hand Intently
— “while that Isn’t stipulated I doubt
whether It was your grandfather’s Idea
that you should surround yourself—”
"With boisterous companions!” I
supplied the words in my cheerfullest
tone “No my conduct shall be ex-
emplary Mr Pickering" I added with
affable irony
He picked up a single sheet of thin
typewritten paper and passed It across
the table It was a formal acquies-
cence in the provisions of the wllL
Pickering had prepared It in advance
of my coming and this assumption
that I would accept the terms irritated
me Assumptions as to what I should
do under given conditions had always
annoyed nje and accounted in a large
measure for my proneness to surprise
and disappoint people Pickering sum-
moned a clerk to witness my signa-
ture “How soon shall you take posses-
sion?" he asked “I have to make a
note of It”
“I shall start for Indiana to-morrow"
I answered
As I rose to go Pickering said:
“It will be sufficient If you drop me
a line say once a month to let me
know you are there The postoffice la
Annandale”
“I suppose I might file a supply of
postal cards In the village and arrange
for the mailing of one every month"
“It might be done that way” he an-
swered evenly
“We may perhaps meet again if I
don't die of starvation or ennui Good

UTILIZING CORN FODDER
The Best Way It to Cut It Up Into
Short Lengths
It Is desirable to utilize all the
food value there is in the com fodder
though the usual way of feeding it to
the stock is a very wasteful method
Where the dally supply of fodder la
thrown in the barn yard at feeding
time what the cattle do not eat is
trampled down and destroyed so far
as the feeding value Is concerned
The leaves and the stock are all stock
will eat From one-third to one-half
the length of the fodder Is readily
eaten in racks without cutting When
the stalks are heavy coarse and hard
the upper half may be cut for feed
with a sharp broad axe and heavy
block If but a few cattle are fed For
a larger herd says a correspondent
of Farm and Home we have adopted
a large shearing knife home made
Home Made Corn 8tock Cutter
which soon shears enough for a day's
feeding
The cutting knife or shears Is best
made from an old blade of a cross-
cut saw After the handles have been
removed get a stout piece of iron a
about eight Inches long and one and
one-fourth Inches thick Have about
five inches of this slit up to receive
the hack of the saw
Punch holes through both and rivet
together Near the end of this iron
have a bole drilled or run an eye on
it to receive a string bolt Rivet a
strong handle on the other end as
shown at c long enough to give a
good leverage say two and one-half
to three feet Grind the blade down
to a good sharp cutting ede attach
the cutter at d to a strong post or
upright so it will have plenty of
swing T jt a heavy block underneath
and it Is ready to cut or shear the
bundles as they are fed by a boy
or man '
TOMATOES AS A FIELD CROP
The Kind of Soil That Is Best and
Ita Preparation
This crop is more profitably grown
on good clay subsoil or low landB bor-
dering on our bays and rivers s The
seed should be selected by every
grower Sow the first seed about the
middle of April in well prepared soil
where the tomato plant has not been
grown for five years at least Spray
plants In the bed three times with
Bordeaux mixture This will help the
first blossoms to resist the blight
if they do not drop you are pretty
sure of a crop
A sod field of scarlet or crimson
clover covered in the winter with 10
loads of manure per acre plowed un-
der in April and kept well harrowed
should be used Mark out rows four
feet with' plow sow down these rows
600 pounds per acre of phosphate com-
posed of four per cent ammonia nine
per cent phosphoric acid ten per
cent potash Then cover and mark
rows crosswise with light marker four
feet give shallow cultivation and
plenty of it when the vines are not
wet with dew or rain up to the time
they begin to ripen
Early tomatoes require hotbeds and
cold frames to grow the plants to a
strong stocky condition with blos-
soms set before transplanting to field
Light high warm soil with not so
much vegetable matter Is the best
Mark rows three feet each way and
drop half a small shovelful of well
composted manure in hill Set your
plants with aa much dirt as will bold
to them In this manure and culti-
vate well A little nitrate of soda
around the plants after they start to
grow is helpful Pull off the poor
knotty or specked tomatoes as they
ripen
Never wait for a season of rain
says Farm and Home but set your
plants when ground it dry sun is hot
sod nights warm By pouring a little
water arofind each plant small
fibrous roots will start from the plant
the first night they are set when
ground is warm
GARDEN NOTES
Look over the garden tools and get
them In condition for the spring work
Guinea hens are notorious bug-
catchers and the orchards is a good
place for them to roam
Examine the cherry and plum trees
now and If you find that you over-
looked any of those black knots re-
move them
A great deal of crossing and waste
of growth can be prevented by rubbing
off all Imperfect Bhoots while they are
yet In the bud
If you haven't a shed In which to
store manure the best way to dlspoBo
of It Is to haul It out to the garden and
scatter it where most needed
Many farmers make a lot of plans
In the winter time but when spring
comes they forget all about them
riant are no good unless they are
executed
After cutting off a limb of any con-
siderable size the wound should he
immediately painted to prevent decay
and the growth of fungus White lead
makes as good s protection as any

York Mr Littlefield of Maine in-
dulged In a general review of the
press Its powers functions and priv-
ileges “If It were not for the vigilant
press of this country with Its trained
corps of representatives In Washing-
ton” be said “I don’t know whether
I would care to serve in congress My
experience here has taught me that
the newspapers perform a service of
inestimable value to the country I
sometimes think that congress would
drift into many excesses if the press
gallery were not here to keep us in
bounds”
