FOOLING BENSON

By Charles Freeman

“No one baa been in your compartment since the money caine in, has there?” demanded Robert Cable. “No one,” admitted Jack Niblo, “but, on the other band, 1 have handled no money from that drawer.” “Therefore it must have been a mistake In your addition. I am sorry. Jack, but we shall have to look to you to repay the loss.” “But this is the third time this week that this has happened,” pleaded Niblo. “All the more reason why you should be more careful,” said the president shortly. “It Is inexcusable that a receiving teller should make three mistakes in a single week. If there is a repetition of this trouble I as* afraid that I shall have to replace you.” Niblo bowed and left the private office. It seemed pretty bard to him that he required to -make good a S2OO shortage in a single week, but three times when he had come to balance his accounts he had found that he was short. Once it had been a hundred dollar bill that was missing, and twine his sheet showed a fifty dollar shortage. He had the money with which to make up the loss, fpr he had been saving up ever since Nettle Cable promised to marry him. At this rate the savings would soon vanish, yet if he was forced to give up bls position because he was unreliable his savings would be gone before he could obtain another position without a recommendation from the bank. It was with a heavy heart that he went to meet her. They were to go to a concert that evening. The girl’s quick eyes perceived hip despondency, and as they walked along she drew the story from him. “Who do you think It is?’ she asked. “That’s the worst of it,” he declared. "I have no grounds for suspecting any one. When I come back from lunch to

“FORTY FIFTIES," HE LAUGHED. “DO YOU MAKE IT THE SAME ?"

relieve Benson the money is right to a penny. The loss or mistake or whatever it is comes after that" “But you can’t be making mistakes all the time," she insisted. “Isn’t it possible that some one comes into your cage for a moment?’ “Notasoul was in there all the afternoon," tie said positively. “And Mr. Fells cannot reach over from his cage?’ “The money is all in the drawer. He would have to open that first” “Have you looked behind the drawer?" she asked hopefully. “Perhaps it just fell down behind.” “I had the drawer out,” he explained, “and looked behind it” “Who is that in there?’ she asked suddenly as they passed the bank building. “It must be Benson,” he answered carelessly. “He works late on the foreign business. I don’t know whether he does It because he likes work or because he wants to make a good Impression on your father, but he is at It all the time." “Is the money all locked up?’ “Benson wouldn’t take it anyhow,” he declared, “but the money Is locked with a time look. Benson merely uses the small safe with the books.” “I don’t like Mr. Benson,” she said decidedly, “Father refuses to Interfere, but I know that Mr. Benson has tried to get him to send you away and take him as a son-in-law.” “You don’t suppose he would steal my money, do you?” laughed Jack. *Td think anything," she said positively. “You may laugh If you want to, but somehow I feel that he wants to get you out of the way.” “Forewarned is forearmed," he said, laughing. “We’ll fool him yet, or, rather, you will. I don’t think I’m clever enough.” “I think I’m as clever as Mr. Benson,” she announced, “and I’m going to fool him, see If I don’t.” They turned Into the concert hall, next the bank, and In the music Jack forgot the threat He did not even recall It a few days later when Nettle came Into the bank and, after a chat with her father, made her way to Nlblo’s compartment. He sprung the latch on the lattice door for her and returned to counting the pile •f bills in front of him. She leaned on the counter beside him,

“aren’t you going to tell me about her?” “I would if 1 knew how,” said Billy. “Is she pretty?” “She’s beautiful.” “Light or dark?’ Billy turned a radiant face to his companion. “Her hair is dark—as dark as yours.’* Miss Huston smiled tolerantly. He was too honest, too transparent, to play so delicate a game. Bhe opened her eyes on him under her heavy motor veil. “Of course you love her very dearly,” she said lightly. To her chagrin a hot flush dyed her face from brow to chin. i Billy drew a tense breath. “Love her! I cannot talk about IL It’s like saying my prayers,” he said reverently. Miss Huston leaned back in her seat Why had she never realized before how lovable Billy was? They sat in silence, their thoughts keeping time to the monstrous beat of the motor as the car swung smoothly along the hard road. Billy spoke first “She will be at Mrs. Monteith’s,” he said half shyly. Of course she would. If the motor continued to tear along at its present rate and they didn’t land in a heap at the foot of one of the steep hills, she would be there in about half an hour. Dear, clumsy Billy! She had half a mind to tell him that she understood. His next move was more skillful. “I’m mighty grateful to you for putting me on the right track,” he went on reminiscently. “If it hadn’t been for you— Great Scott,” he broke off, “what a fool I used to make of myself! I don’t wonder you had no use for me.” That he should refer to the past so lightly piqued her. He needed to be taken down a little. “Why bother about the past when you are sure of the present?’ she flashed back. “Why, indeed?” Billy was his cheerful, smiling self again. “Only I was no end of a fool and I’ve always felt that I wanted to apologise to you for ranting around as I dw. Though it was real enough to me —at least I thought so then—and I was terribly cut up when you threw me over,” he went on cheerfully, “and for a good while afterward, too.” “And then?’ “Oh, then I met—her.” Billy’s voice was very gentle. He turned impulsively toward his companion. “When you see her,” he said radiantly, “you will understand.” A shadow crossed Miss Huston’s face. Of course the whole thing was only a ruse of Billy’s, but for a beginner Ms part was remarkably well played. There was a little jolt as Billy lessened speed; then the car swung smoothly. into a wide shaded driveway leading to a rambling ol<l stone house. A laughing, chattering crowd filled the wide porch—tea tables were being set in the old fashioned garden, but as Mrs. Monteith gathered her in a vigorous embrace Katherine was conscious of but two things—that at sight of them a slender, dark eyed girl bad left one of the groups and followed Mrs.-Monteith to the wide stone steps, and that Billy had cleared those steps two at a time and was holding the girl’s hands as if he never meant to let them go. Mrs. Monteith smiled as her eyes followed Katherine’s. “Of course he has told you all about it,” she laughed. “Come, Billy, don’t monopolize Miss Deering—you engaged people are so selfish. Don’t you see I am waiting to introduce Miss Huston to your fiancee?’

The Trouble With Lorimer.

. Congressman Billy Lorimer Is having a hard time of it in his district in spite of his devotion to the packing Interests. His opponents are urging that he was against the president, but sure, ly the packers should be able to control Packingtown. The trouble with Lorimer is that he is part of a very rotten Republican machine, and this is a bad year for corrupt political bosses.

I raised plenty of heads last year weighing from eight to twelve pounds each and hard as a rock. Early Wlnnlngstadt Is a fine variety for a beginner. It grows quickly, and every plant will make a head. However, the finest of all cabbages for family use and one very easily grown Is the Early Savoy. I have sown seed of this In the open when sowing turnips in the month of August and raised the finest of golden heads that stood all through the winter. A Savoy cabbage beats any collards I ever saw out of sight when It comes to something fine to eat, says a Texas correspondent tn an exchange. Hay Dlddle-de-Diddls. Kay dlddls-da-dlddls.

FARM AND GARDEN

EASTERN IRRIGATION. Economical and Successful Methods In North Atlantic States. According to the popular conception, the field for irrigation is the arid or semiarid region In the west and doea not extend to the humid east, where the supply of moisture is considered sufficient for the growth of crops. The -distribution of rainfall, however, is so uncertain that crops throughout the east often suffer from droughts. Without irrigation certain crops, such as strawberries, celery and cauliflower, may be entirely lost. Economical and successful methods of irrigation adapted to humid conditions are, however, quite extensively used. August J.

SLIDING GATE IN FLUME.

Dowie, Jr., an expert in the irrigation and drainage investigations of the department of agriculture, has noted some interesting points of practice in a recent report on irrigation in the north Atlantic states. The advantages to be gained from irrigation are limited to certain crops. Buch geld crops as timothy, clover, wheat, rye, oats and corn are not particularly affected by droughts of short duration. The value of such crops in eastern Pennsylvania will usually lie between sls and S3O per acre, and irrigation in such Instances would hardly pay under present conditions. The case of truck crops is entirely different. The value of a single crop will often be S2OO to $1,500 per acte, and usually two to three crops are grown on the same land in a year. Crops of this nature are much more sensitive to drought than field crops. The success of irrigation under the conditions found in the east is due not to cheap water supply, but to the high value of crops grown and the careful distribution of the small quantity of water used. Most of the irrigated meadow land in' Pennsylvania lies near the beds of small creeks fed by springs. Small dams constructed of timber back filled with earth are built to raise the water sufficiently high to cover the land, but not for storage. They are usually small affairs, cheaply constructed, costing from $5 to S2O. The use of wells as a source of irrigation is quite limited. Many farmers near the large cities use city water for irrigation, since if the farm is small and the use of water is limited it is thought to be cheaper than pumping. The reason for the prevalence in the east of the sprinkling method of irrigation, which is practically unknown in arid sections, lies in two important differences in the conditions of irrigation practice—first, the quantity of water applied in one irrigation in the east must be small owing to the risk of sudden and heavy rains which would swamp a crop if falling soon after a heavy irrigation, and, second, the soils used for truck farming in the east are not, as a rule, so capable of storing and retaining water as the arid soils, so that a heavy irrigation once a month will not answer the needs of garden crops in the east. With the sprinkling system It is possible to apply uniformly as small a quantity of water as desired, while with furrows enough must be applied to run through the furrows and soak laterally to the roots of the plants. Noting the use of handmade canvas hose to carry water downhill from the pump under very light pressure In one system of furrow Irrigation, Mr. Bowie says muslin one yard In width Is cut up into three strips, each of which is made into a hose, which Is then dipped in a mixture of coal tar

and oil. The water is admitted by short hose to the ends of V shaped wooden troughs, from which It is admitted to the furrows by means of adjustable sliding gates. (See first cut) The troughs are built of 1 by 5 and 1 by 6 Inch boards nailed together and provided with Inch holes. There are three holes in these troughs for every two furrows. On one New Jersey farm the ground is Irrigated by sprinkling from several water witches set ten feet apart on a movable length of two Inch pipe, which is mounted every twenty feet on two wheeled carriages. Eleven water witches are mounted on 100 feet of pipe supported by fohr carriages, as shown in Fig. 2, and will irrigate, without moving, a space 110 by 10 feet. Harvesting Corn. For sixty acres It will pay you to have a binder to cut and bind the corn and a busker and shredder to husk the corn and care for the fodder. Shredded corn fodder will make excellent food for horses and mules, says an exchange.
