cither. I cale'late to give Helen Forest
Farm if she marries to suit me; and
Forest Farm Ezra Fairfax is the pret
tiest property in .Middlesex County."
The farmer and bin hired man -were
driving along the road to the station.
for Mr. Burehard was going off oa a
week's trip to buy some cattle.
Ezra made no reply to this boast He
had heard it a number of times and
as he loved Helen with bis whole heart
it was not a pleasure to listen to es
pecially as he understood at this time
it was a warning note intended to pre
vent any philandering in bis employer's
absence.
"I shall never have Forest Farm if
that is the price I have to pay" de-
clared Helen herself a few hours later
. looking into her lover's honest eyes.
The two had grown up together the
children of neighbors. "I shall marry
you or nobody Ezra. I love father
but his ambitions can't make wrong
right. Had he been the one to die in-
stead of your father when we were
children 1 might have been your
mother's 'help' to-day." The girl
eralled in a May that warmed Ezra's
despairing lieart
"If there were only something I could
do to change matters!" he exclaimed.
I fcite the name of Forest Farm! I
wis!'. Hosea Hinkley had never sold
it."
"He wouldn't if he could possibly
Iiave done without the money that is
certain" remarked the girl. "What a
triumph fatter felt it to be whi-n he
secured it before good Mr. Hosea died!"
"Yes if that scamp of a brother of
iiis had got hold of it 1 guess Mr.
Burehard might have whistled for For-
est Farm. Jim Hinkley's the biggest
rascal unhung and he hates your
lather. He'd bare liked to spite him
by gelling to somebody else. Well"
Ezra heaved a mighty sigh" for my
part I'd be willing Jim had got it. I
ought not to let you cling to the thought
of me Helen; it will spoil your life."
The girl gazed at him with frtitik
tenderness. His sturdy form and
bronzed face filled all her horizon.
"Can you stop thinking of me?" she
asked simply.
"God knows I can't" ho answered
and then Me lifted his old hat with a
reverent gesture and kissed her.
The next day he was plodding along
the road to the village filled with the
problem that always absorbed him
when a stranger accosted him. He
looked up and beheld an elderly gen-
tleman wiih the stamp of city life on
bis face clothing and manners.
"Yottv .g man" the latter began "can
you tell me the whereabouts of a place
known as Forest Farm?"
"Yes" replied Ezra. "Walk right
ahead and turn the first turning to the
left and as soon as you cross the creek
you're there." Then with a bluntness
that amused his interlocutor he con-
tinued "Were you thinking of renting
itr
The stranger 'smiied leniently and
tapped his hand with a 'legal paper he
held. "No I wasn't fbinking.of rent-
ing it" he answered deliberately; "I
am thinking of buying it. In fact I
have just bought it. My daughter saw
the place and thought she would like
It for a summer home and I have
come down to look at it myself. My
deed here will assist me in locating
boundaries. I'm much obliged to you."
The kindly stranger bowed and
moved on leaving Ezra to stare after
him his lips parted his thoughts in a
turmoil.
His face reddened under its bronze.
In some uncomprehended way had his
chance come? Might he do for Allen
Burehard some service which should
win him Helen?
He made a swift movement to follow
the stranger; as suddenly changed his
mind and charged up the village street
at a pace that scattered the children
before him like leaves in the wind.
Squire Winslow; sitting at the desk
in his second-story office looked
startled as the young man burst into
his room. "Well! "What's the matter
Ezra Fairfax?" exclaimed the old mail
pushing his chair back images of dire
catastrophes crowding through his
brain.
"I dou't know" gasped the other
dragging a seat to the desk and falling
into it. Then with catches of the
breath he told his story.
The .Squire pushed up his spectacles
nd listened frowning.
"Certainly I remember the transfer
of Forest Farm" he said. "I drew the
deed. You any Mr. Burehard is away.
Couldn't he have "
"No he has only been gone since yes-
terday and he told me the day he left
he was going 10 K'v! the place to his
daughter. Jim Hinkley's rt the bottom

.Squire Winslow found time even
amid his problem to admire Ezra's
keen set face.
"nitre is only one thing that could
have made it possible for Jim to med-
dle and I suppose that is just the thing
that has happened" said the Squire
after grasping bis stubby chin in deep
thought. Ezra scrutinized him eagerly.
"I remember now. Mr. Burehard met
Hosea here in this office and paid the
money and took the deed. When I
offered to mail it to the registry Mr.
Burehard said he wanted to show it to
bis wife first. He said he had business
In Lowell next week and would take
the deed to the registry then himself.
Now perhaps he forgot it; then know
ing Hosea's honesty put it off from
time to time and it has never been
recorded. Jim Hinkley has wanted
money pretty bad lately and they do
say Satan takes care of his own. Any
way he must have put that very idea
into Jim s head. Jim probably looked
the matter up found things Just as he
expected got a customer for Forest
Farm and sold it" Squire Winslow
misunderstood the abstracted thought-
fulness that changed his visitor's face.
"Brace up my boy" he said kindly.
"Get back the grit I saw in your eyes
a minute ago and perhaps we'll beat
Jim yet." He caught his watch from
his pocket. "No" he ejaculated "you
can't get the deed and catch the last
train to Lowell."
"What what's the idea?" asked
Ezra sitting up alert again.
Why the stranger said he'd Just
bought Forest Farm. It's likely he's
taking a look at the property before
recording his deed. If he records his
first you've lost the farm; but if yon
could in any way get yours in-"
"I see."' Ezra sprang from his chair
light flashing all over his face.
Squire Winslow still held his watch
in his hand and his mouth open when
three steps at a time the young man
was fleeing down the stairs.
"Bless me."" muttered the lawyer and
his own hand trembled with excite-
ment as he reached for his hat and
followed after as swiftly as his older
limbs would carry him.
Ezra reached home in an incredibly
short period. Mrs. Burehard saw him
coming and was startled by his look.
She had a kindness for her daughter's
lover but did not dare to side with him.
Where's the key i Mr. Burchard's
desk?" he cried.
"In its place" she answered appre-..
hensively.
So it is" he gasped with relief feel
ing behind the secretary and producing
it. "I saw Helen out by the barn. Tell
her to saddle Mark! Quickly please."
"Has Mr. Burehard " she began.
"Quick !" implored Ezra rummaging
among the papers with desperate eager
ness.
She obeyed and returned. "Where
are you going. Ezra Fairfax?"
"To Lowell."
"On Mark? What will Mr. Burehard
say? You know how Mr. Burehard
feels about that colt."
"Here it is!" exclaimed Ezra Joy-
ously. "What 7"
"The deed to Forest Farm. There's
a purchaser " The young man
dashed out of the house leaving the
desk in confusion and ran to the barn.
Helen was tightening the saddle
girths.
"What is this for?" she asked catch-
ing the excitement in his face.
"It's the only chance! I can't talk!"
he exclaimed. He kissed her sprang
on the colt's back and galloped off.
"Helen that boy is crazy!" cried Mrs.
Burehard in distress running out to
meet her daughter. "Y'ou don't sup-
pose he would dare to try and sell For-
est Farm! He has carried the deed
off."
"Trust Ezra" said Helen stoutly. "I
do." But her heart thumped aud she
too felt more troubled than ever be-
fore in her life. Might Ezra really
hare brooded over his troubles until
his mind had become unhinged?
Meanwhile the swift colt had met the
Squire on the road and the rider had
reined up.
Silently ho handed down the deed
which the old man examined eagerly.
"Just as I thought" he said curtly;
"not recorded. Have you money ? Not
enough perhaps for everything. Here
take this."
Ezra accepted the bill and the brief
instructions which the lawyer went on
to give him.
"Better tell (he Burchards I guess.
They'll worry cither way. Thank you.
Squire Winslow." Fairfax swiftly bent
and wrung his old friend's hand.
"God bless you!" returned the old
lawyer unsteadily.
It would take too long to describe the
details of that ride. The road was a
"short cut" compared to the roundabout
way by rail from Edgcomb to Lowell.
The brave colt did his best rolling an
eye around occasionally as if to ask
why when so many steep hills had
been traveled he was sti'.l urged on;
but when jaded and worn the two
finally reached Lowell the Registry of
Deeds was closed. Ezra's voice was
unstea ly ns he asked concerning: the
arrival of the last train from Edgcomb.
He found that it was in but it too
had arrived after the registry hours.
His chance still remained.
He saw to his horse's comfort; but
for himself there was no sl that
night. Too much hung in the t !anee.
With the first rays of dawn he was
walking about the street raiting for
the appointed hour.
He turned his steps toward the best
hotel in the place and lounged near at
breakfast time but did not see the
face he sought among the guests.
Suppose the stranger's deed bad al-
ready been recorded before that ex-
perimental Tisit to Edgcomb! Ezra
set tis teeth.
Eut 0 'clock drew on. ne dared
linger no longer near the hotel and
moved away toward the Court House.
The hour sounded from the steeple.
The bell electrified him and he hurried
on; but suddenly a sight more moving
still caught his view. A well-dressed
man whom Fairfax recognized only
too certainly had jut ascended the
steps and was entering the registry
office. For an insert things turned
black before the tired man: then he
nerved himself slouched his hat over
his eyes sprang up the steps after the
gentleman shouldered hi' 4 aside and
edging through the room ahead of
him reached the desk first and offered
his shaking paper.
"W here are your manners young
fellow?" asked the Registrar glancing
back at the somewhat annoyed and
surprised look on the other man's face.
Ezra's cold lips stammered something
about hurrying.
"There's time enough in this world
for folks to be civil. You've got the
day before you haven't you?" said the
clerk lookiug to Fairfax's acute ap
prehension as if he might be going to
order him aside in favor of the person
age he had Just jostlc-L
The young man's excitement leaped
from his eyes but his slouched hat hid
them. It "was none of the Registrar's
business if the clumsy fellow's lips
were ashy. He still grumbled as he
reached for his rubber stamp.
The dull thud with -which it struck
the paper sounded above the ringing
in Ezra's ears. Then the clerk glanced
at the clock and proceeded to write in
its place in legal form the moment of
registration.
"Nine hours and two minutes."
The words were written. He stag-
gered as he moved aside to let the
portly gentleman take his turn.
The Registrar with a casual remark
pulled the second deed tcvard him
stamped it and then took up the pen
and wrote:
"Nine hours and three minutes."
Ezra held on by a corner of the desk
for the clock prints and maps on the
walls were chasing each other madly
around the room.
Forest Farm was saved! And Helen?
Mr. Burehard returned home to find
his strong quiet "hired" man the hero
of the village. Squire Winslow de-
lighted not a little with his own pres-
ence of mind in the affair hd ex-
ploited Ezra's history far and wide.
"You know you always said father
that Forest Farm was to go with me"
remarked Helen demurely "so logic-
ally I go with the farm and the farm
is Ezra's."
She opened her eyes at her parent
Innocently and slipped her hand into
her lover's which was close by.
Mr. Burchard'still confounded by the
risk his own carelessness had entailed
stared at them helplessly and yielded
to the inevitable.
"Queer doings" he said to himself
and blinked his ey-ce. "Queer doings."

The Petrified Man
Do you remember the "petrified
man" supposed to be 8000 years old
discovered in a gravel bed near Leav-
enworth a few years ago and which
had the scientists of the whole coun-
try guessing? This -wonderful speci-
men was made from a plaster of paris
cast by Charles Farmer an eccentric
old gentleman who lives on a farm ad-
joining that of John Cory near Lo-rve-uiont.
The cast was taken from a hu-
man being. Farmer had arranged with
another man to help him out in his
scheme to make some money. Ac-
cordingly the specimen was hidden in
a ravine near Miocene three miles
northwest of Leavenworth and was
found per the arrangements. It was
taken to Leavenworth and placed on
exhibition as a genuine petrified man.
Great interest was manifested in it
and the owners realized a neat sum by
charging an admission fee to it Sci-
entists examined it and were puzzled.
Finally Parmer traded the curiosity
for 10O acres of land in South Dakota
and the new owner went on a tour
of the East attracting attention every-
where rarmer divulged the secret to
Dr. Redmond Sheriff Stance Myers
and the editor of the Kansan on the
train between Loweniont and Potter
Tuesday. He made this specimen
seven years ngo. A few years before
that he "made'' a woman in California.
This became famous throughout the
West as the "San Joaquin Woman."
Parmer made these images out of a
substance of his own manufacture
which when it "sets." Is as hard as

A SIMPLE TENT.
A rent can be made by children very
easily and quickly without outside
help. Get three old sheets or shawls
a rope and some safety pins and fol-
low this picture and description:
Tie the rope between two trees so
that you may walk ui ler it without
touching your head. Throw a sheet or
shawl over it. Tie four strings as
long as yourself to each corner of the
sheet (one on each corner). On the
THB TEXT IS POSITIOS
other end of each string tie e pointed
stick. Drive these sticks into the
ground as far from the rope as you
can. The sheet will now make a good
roof. Two more sheets are now used
for the sides of the tent. Each sheet
makes an end and one side.
Use safety pins to pin up these sides
The hole at each end of the tent under
the roof is necessary to keep it cool
a .id comfortable. Most tents are very
stuffy and hot but this tent is as
satisfactory an arrangement as can
be made. New York Evening Mail.

A TRUE INCIDENT.
A French family has recently had Its
fortunes restored in a way to suggest
story telling. The family was wretch-
edly poor selling one possession after
another in order to meet the demands
of the butcher and grocer. One day the
mother in moving an old desk of her
great-jrandfather came upon an old
book between the pages of which
was a stamp of the Island of Maurice
of 1S47.
A traveler stopping to rest in the
cottage one day saw this stamp which
a boy was sticking to a home-made en-
velope playing "postoffice" with a lit-
tle friend. This traveler ( a man of
wealth and collector of curios) saw
that It was very rare. In truth there
were but two othtrs In existence one
belonging to the King of England and
one to the Czar of Russia. He told
the famfly of their treasure and It was
through his Interest and exertions that
the stamp was subsequently sold for
$7500. Indianapolis News.

nOWT TO GROW ROSE BUSHES.
There is money in growing rose
bushes and it is a pleasant occupa-
tion la which any boy or girl who has
the use of a bit of land can engst-.
Roses may be planted either in the
fall or spring aud the beds should brt
protected from the northwest wind
and have a southern or eastern slope
if possible. It is n good plan to
have the hybrid roses on the east side
of a fence and the hardier and free-
growing climbers to cover the fence it-
self. Roses that are to be grown for
the perfection of their blooms should
never be in close proximity to a build-
ing or trees.
Propagation wherein lies the profit
for young horticulturists Is accom-
plished by seeds cuttings layers
sports division budding or grafting
the last two methods being extensively
used by nurserymen aud florists. But
for our purposes cuttings are best.
They may be rooted at any time of the
year but for hardy roses I have found
the old-fashioned method of inserting
dormant shoots in the fall the most
satisfactory.
Cuttings should be made from the
wood of the current year which should
be of medium strength and welt
ripened. They may be cut from eight
to ten Inches in length and placed five
or six inches deep in the ground. Care
should be taken to trsad round them
thoroughly in order that the frost may
not lirt them out. The next spring
after they are well rooted they can
be set farther apart; and by t'te second
spring they will be large enough to
sell and will readily bring twenty-five
cents each. I know boys who have
paid all their own expenses from the
time they were twelve years old Just
by propagating roses and other plants.

ROMANCE OF TWO GEESE.
I have always thought that wild
geese were the most interesting of
fowl. They have an intelligence and a
system of their own. They mate and
marry I used to think Just as people
do and every gander is faithful to his
goose. Once when the wild gjese
were flying overhead In the spring one
of our neighbors got out with his gnu
and shot Into the flock flying overhead.
He wounded a goose In the wing and
it fluttered to the earth. Our neigh-
bor captured It and told his children
that they might keep It and make a pet
of it. By caring for it tenderly and
feeding it often this goose became quite
tame and stayed all the year with the
tame geese.
Next spring the wild geese were fly-
ing over again and the goose that had
been shot and tamed heard them honk-
ing in the skies as they went over.
She seemed to recognize a familiar
voice' and showing great excitement
gave a loud call. This was heard by
one of the geese in the sky evidently
her mate of former years and he after
circling around for a time finally came
to the earth found his long-lost goose
and remained with her. He was wild
for a time and would fly whenever a
person would come near but finally he
became domesticated and the two
raised a brood of goslings and lived
happy ever afterward with the tame
geese. Indiana polls News.
GAME OF ORGAN BUILDER.
This is a really interesting game
much played by German children.
l"irst tlie players choose one of their
number to be th Organ Builder. H
goes around among the rest and placet
them in a straight row. Each player
must hold out both his or her hands
folded In front of him and the Organ
Builder goes along the row saying:
These are good organ pipes." Then
he taps each player's hands lightly
with a thin stick and the player whom
he touches must give forth a long sus-
tained sound to represent a tone of tho
pipe.
If tho tone does not suit the Organ
Builder he may demand an Improve-
ment but only once ami the players
must obey.
After he has heard a sound from
each "organ pipe." be retires long
enough to be blindfolded. While he
Is away all the "organ pipes" change
places.
When he returns the Ortrau Builder
says:
'Alas how will my or-an be now I
am blind and cannot see?"
He reaches out with his stick and
taps the outstretched hands of one of
ie players. The one who is struck
as he or she did th? first time and the
Organ Builder mny demand that it bo
repeated three times.
Then he must say:
"Ah this pipe is " naming the
player who he thinks it Is.
If he has not guessed correctly nil
the players dance around him and sing:
"What a builder have we here?
What a wretched wretched ear.
Though the pipes sound out so clear!"
Then they all change places again
and tlie Organ Builder must try tho
next "pipe."
If however he guesses correctly the
players sing:
"Though the master have no night
lie can tell Ins pipe aristht!
See your organ with delight!"
And they pull the bandage from liH
eyes. The "pipe" whose name has
been guessed must take his place.
