Tho girl raised herself a:nong the cushions to extend n slim brown band tu greeting, then curled up again like a tired kitten, the bronze of her hair mingling distrnctlngly with the gelds and browns of the cushions, and big John Morton stood wondering at it tumbled glory when he should have been telling the girl how much he had missed her and how pleased he was to see her again, etc. "I hope nothing so dreadful as dumbness has overtakeu you, John." the girl continued solicitously; her gray eyes dancing beitchiugly. Nothing has overtaken me. Peggy -that is. nothing disagreeable." Morton lifted a white kitten out of a huge leather chair and settled himself comfnrtablv before the clewing Are "Hut tell me about yourself, girlie, and your I Iicnicing in the mountains it was a picnic, wasn't it?"

"We had grown dreadfully tired of , each other. Nick had told all his jokes a hundred times and Sam and Rob had cracked their voices trying to sing. Mother was growing uneas ubout tli MJunel goods and father's i winter flarlnels left out of the cedar chest; Aunt Hannah felt the need of another course of massage her predigested foods had all given out. too : and I was on the verge of hysteria. J mental aberrations or something of I hat sort, when Pete 'arrove.' He j soon had everything running smoothly ; again And what a glorious time we had!" She cuddled down among the cushions again, and smiled at John in a way which only Peggy knew a smile that set all her dimples p'aylng hide and seek yot left her eyes calm and dreamy. "He knew just where to go; could tell papa all about the fishing and Aunt Hannah all about the rocks In the neighborhood; helped mama buy blankets and preserves at half price In a word. h was all things to all men." "And what was h to Peggy?" A spot of crimson gathered on each round cheek and anger blazed in the clear eyes. "I don't see how that could possibly Stood Looking Down at Her Bowed Head. Interest you, Mr. Morton. I am old enough to chooso my friends without any assistance, and wise enough, I think, ;o keep each In his proper placo." It was a very grand Peggy who sllppod from the old sofa aud crossed to a stiff-backed chair on the other sldo of the room; "bosldes. I think It is about time you dropped thnt silly name relic or my tomboy days. Margaret Is a much more" "Well, go on. Much more what?" John funded lazily across nt the little fury.

"Come, let's be friends again, girlie. I came over to tel! ou a wonderful beeret. Pre found the futuro Mrs. Morton." He croed over to the girl's lde and stood looking down at her bored head. "Aren't you going to wish me luck, for old times sake. PeggyV "It you have found her. 1 don't see what more luck you want." Ieggy's voice was quick, nervous, just a trifle harsh. "I'd hate to think that Pete " and, the words trailed off into iieace as Peggy smothered a sudden rough in the lace at her wrists. John Morton's face lost its fresh color and his square jaws took on an extra angle. Aa oath was smo&tered at its birth. "I've found her. all right." he returned, "but. you see she doesn't know anything about It yet. I came orer tonight to ask your advice about the beat way to break it to her. you t girlie, I'm not used to this ort of tiling." "Come, tell me about her. John What is she like?" Pejjey slipped from the stiff-backed chair on to a footstoo:.

Jolly old times, weren't thew Pm " Wit. nmr tho girl out of the corner of bis eye he was almost sure he saw her lin flutter before the cruel white teeth closed down and held it fast. ' Well, you see we were kids then, and telling things came natural. Do you suppose Pete, for Instance, would find It an easy matter to describe the glri of girls?" Peggy shifted her position so as to bring her face in shadow before answering. "You needn't tell me her name, you know, or her little intimate ways- -just describe her in general " "A sort of outline sketch and leas the filling In to the hearer s imagination " Morton laughed. "Well, since I came to you for advice I guess I'll have to mention her chief charms." He caught the stool and twisted It around till Pejrgy faced the lire again. The old fashioned mirj ror, tilted from ceiling to mantel, re flected a very quiet Peggy with a very serious face. "SIk '? small and dainty and lovable ib 'hat the way the story books begin? I am rather clumsy when it comes to describing a girl, so you'll have to make allowances.

"I know it's that Scott girl, who spent the summer with the Daytons the description fits to a T but she's a perfect little cat. I never cared for her." Peggy's voice was very distant and Impersonal. "Guess again." Morton laughed. "I never met Miss Scott." Peggy reached for the white kitten curled up on the rug at her feet, bin Morton caught the hand and held it close. "Suppose you look at the picture. Peggy you might recognize it." The girl sprang to her feet, but Morton drew her down beside him and held her close a moment a struggling, panting little fury then placing one hand under her chin, he tilted her head back till her eyes met the eyes In the mirror above the mantel. "Do you know the future Mrs. John Morton?" he asked, with his Hps close to her crimson enr; "is she a cat?" PoRgy gazed at her own reflection a moment, then turned in his arms till sho could hldo her face on his breast. "How could you do it, John?" she sobbed; "It wasn't like you."

ÜAS ShOIKE O.N FARM.

A Sufgestion as te the Mej Etaclent Arrangement. There Is practically no piece of farm machinery that the ga njdn will not operate more suceefsll . rheaper and more eMet. r.tl than any other known portable pown The writer has a t'- hore-jMwir Ka engine thnt operate the cream separator d churn, pumps water, grinds feed. awt wood, turn the grindstone, and I hope to milk the cows with it tn the near future. The cost of fuel for operating it Is about l s cent per horse rwer per hoar When we wish to start anr of the different machines (and we frequent!) operate nil of them at oou time except the sawing outfit and Um mlUL we give the wheels a turn or two and off jiic goes, no smoke, ao dirt, no Liter, no Are. The illustration Plan for Machinery on Farm. shows my plan of arrangement. By a very simple device of my wn eontriance I heat all the water for use about the creamery with this encine. It is pns&ible for this sirue little engine, mounted on lieht 'rucks and n?t-d up with the traction wheel of an old discarded grain or corn har ester, to do the greater part of the farm tricking. There s ao end to the lit tie things the gas engine will do It turn the waiting mach:n. the sewing machine, the sausage grinder. The durability of the gas engine I believe to he far in excess of the seam power, as ith good care and proper lubrication there is practically little wear on them. In fact one of tho most satisfactory solutions of the farm labor problem to-day is the installing of modern farm machinery, and the farmer who adopts modern methods is alive to his own interests The gas engine, says the Rural New Yorker. Is one of the most indispensable of all modern farm machines KEEPING GRINDSTONE TRUE. In the Grinding of Tools Do Not Let Stone Get Grooved. The average grindstone on the farm sees pretty toagh times. The softer the stone, the harder usage i receives Its lot Is almost as hard as that of the "boy on the farm." who has to tarn It by the hour. The grin dine s urface of the stone la more ayt ' tv concave than it Is to have an -wn fare, or slightly bev-led surface The concave condition comes trot.i grinding axes, arythes. martl:,--knives, etc.. with their edg s l-'iifh wise of the stone instead of arm. it This can not he helped in grinding some tools. Bat. suget P. a:rie Farmer, when the stone d-xs a'i-.ie this shape, making it impoib!" to grind a chisel or any flat -dg 1 ck-i decently, it is a r'd titr.' to a spade or two spades are usualiy dull and hold Them on th stone un'il sharpened, when the irregularities in the surface of the s'one wi'.i have ilia appeared A znaHm b the way. should neer h left eiposed to the sun. TUe weigh of the handle will always cause one portion of the tone to remain uppermost. anJ this from exposure will reach a different degree of hard negj, from the underside, so that after a while the stone will be ground out of a circle. If the stone has to stand In the open, a flat box can easily be obtained to serve as a cover. Feeding f.'classss to Stock. The use of molasses p & stock food appears to be growlnr In favor, and is indorsed by practical feeders after careful nee. A pint to a quart a daymay be fed with good result, according tn the size and appetite of the animal. It is a producer of energy and heat the same as sugar, and Is slightly laxative in effect, producing flesh ami ambition. In the cae of horses, the verdict seems to be that the feed, if ground, may be cut short at least 30 per cent, where molasses diluted with water Is mixed with the balance. When beginning its use. only a small amount pr day should be given, say half a cupful, gradually In creasing the same with any food. In giving molasses to milch cows, the requirements ef earh Individual animal should be studied. Keep Cows Comfortable. It is very poor economy to let the cows roam over the fields in cold or stormy weather hunting for something to ent. The men who make the most money oet of their cows keep them In a warm stable all winter, only permitting thorn to go out In the yat I on .irin days. It takes feed to pro--dui-body heat and if the cow is not kept comfortable a whole lot of body heat nuts' come from the feed. The more body heat used the more feed ts aeedvl for bodily maintenance.
