Mr. Practical Farmer: Tou have put up the fall crop. Winter Is on you. What can you do but wait patiently for spring? Eut In Falfurrlaa It 1b warm and balmy. They are setting ready to plant the seed. Everything- Is active. Everybody la hustling. Of course you know all about this wonderful section of southern Texas. Two and three crops a year. The earliest and beBt vegetables. The farmer can alt under his own orange tree and watch nearly every known crop grow In luxurious profusion while the Northern farmer Is still snowbound. You know the perfect climate, sufficient rainfall, the artesian water, the cheap labpr, the railroads, the towns, the banks, the schools, and most of all, he wonderful opportunity to buy the richest land, yet at the lowest price; what does It mean to you? Do you desire to continue to raise $15 crops on 100 land? Why not raise J100 crops on $15 land. Farmers like you are leaving the west aad east and north and coming to this promised land. Why not? Will the yield of Your crop pay you back your total investment twice over in one year? On November 6 we sent- 22 prospectors to this country. All bought land. Every day, very hour this land is trowing more valuable. Choice sections 14 months ago were worth $15 an acre Now they are worth from $60 to $100 an acre. Two years ago where 28 people comprised a town now dwell 1,500. The aaxne opportunity is now yours, for we are bow laying out tno tew town attea and building a new railroad. Development is going on faster and faster. Choice locations are selling now at $15. Tou can buy land by the railroad now as cheap as you can buy land ten miles away a little later. And this land is the richest and best in the world. But Its first come, first served. How Is your chance to see for yourself. January 1st, Excursion Day Why are people coming to Falfurrlas, why are towns springing up, raik Toads building, land advancing In value? Because here the farmer can live Better, makes more Money and makes it more Quickly and with Leas Capitol It's a fine trip there. W want you to meet the poor men who went

there and are now Independent the well to do farmer who went there and Is How rich. We bring you to Falfurrlas and nature does the rest. Why, when twenty acres of onions will clear you $4,110, oft an investment of $1,390, and all the time your land is getting more valuable, and you have credit at the

bank, and you are in a growing community. Isn't it worth while going there?

By KATHERINE CECIL THURSTON, Author of "The Circle," Etc.

Copyright. 1905. 1904. Loder took the hand tnat ne extended and pressed the fingers unconsciously. The Bight of this man was like the finding of an oasis at the point where the desert la sandiest, deadliest, most unbearable. "Yes, you are unexpected," he answered. Chilcote looked at him, then looked out Into the court. "I'm done up," he said. "I'm right at the end of the tether." lie laughed as he said it, but in the dim light of the hall Loder thought his face looked ill and harassed despite thejlush that the excitement of the meeting had brought to it. Taking his arm, he drew him tow-ard the stairs. "So the rope has run out, eh?" he 6aid, in Imitation of the other's tone. But under the quiet of his manner his own nerves were throbbing with the peculiar alertness of anticipation, a sudden sense of mastery over life that lifted him above surroundings and above persons a sense of stature, mental and physical, from which he surveyed the world. He felt as if fate In the moment of utter darkness had given him a sign. As they crossed the hall Chilcote had drawn away and was already mounting the stairs. And as Loder followed it came sharply to his mind that here, in the slipshod freedom of a door that was always open and stairs that were innocent of covering, lay his companion's real niche unrecognized in outward avowal, but acknowledged by the inward, koener sense that manifests the individual. In silence they mounted the stairs, but on the first landing Chilcote paused and looked back, surveying Loder from the superior height of two steps. "I did very well at first." he said. "I did very well. I almost followed your example for a week or so. I found myself on a sort of pinnacle, and I clung oh. But In the last ten days I've Fve rather lapsed." "Why?" Loder avoided looking at his face. He kept bis eyes flxefl de terminedly on the spot where his own hand grlppedthe banister. "Why?" Chilcote repeated. "Oh, the prehistoric tale weakness stronger than strength. "I'm I'm sorry to come down on you like this, but it's the social side that bowls me over. It's tho social side I can't stick." "The social side? But I thought" "Don't think. I never think; it entails such a constant upsetting of principles and theories. We did arrange for business only, but one can't set up barriers. Society pushes itself everywhere nowadays, Into business most of all. I don't want you for theater parties or dinners. But a big reception with a political flavor is different. A man has to be seen at these things. He needn't say anything or do anything, but it's bad form if he fails to show up." Loder raised his head. "You must explain." he said abruptly. Chilcote started slightly at the sudden demand. "I I suppose I'm rather irrelevant," he said quickly. "Facts, there's a reception at the Bramfells' tonight. You know Blanche Bramfell Viscountess Bramfell, sister to Lillian Astrupp." Ills words conveyed nothing to Loder, but he did not consider that. All ex planations were irksome to him and he invariably chafed to be done with them. "And you've got to put in an appear ancefor party reasons?" Loder broke in. Chilcote showed relief. "Yes. Old Fraide makes rather a point of it so does Eve." lie said the last words carelessly; then, as If their sound re- j called something, his expression changed. A touch of satirical amusement touched his Lips and he laughed. "By the way, Loder," he said, "my wife was actually tolerant of me for nine or ten days after my return. I thought your representation was to be quite Impersonal? I'm not jealous," he laughed. "I'm not jealous, I assure you. but the burned child shouldn't grow absentinlnded." At his tone and his laugh Loder's blood stirred. With a sudden, unexpected impulse his hand tightened on the banister, and, looking up, he caught sight of the face above him his own face it seemed, alighted with malicious interest. At the fight a strange sensation seized him, his grip on the banister loosened, and, pushing past Chilcote, he hurriedly mounted the stairs. Outside his own door the other overtook him. "Loder!" he said. "Loder! I meant no harm. A man aiust-have a laugh sometimes." But Loder was facing the door and did not turn round. A sudden fear shook Chilcote. "Loder!" he exclaimed again. "You would not desert me? I can't go back tonight. I can't go back." Still Loder remained immovable. Alarmed by his silence, Chilcote stepped closer to him. "Loder! Loder, you won't desert me?" He caught hastily, at his arm. With a quick repulsion Loder shook him off, then almost as quickly he turned round. "What foe we all are!" he said abruptly. "We only differ in degree. Come iu and let us change our clothes."

by Harper t Brothers CHAPTER XIII. TTB best moments of a man's life T are the moments when, strong in himself, he feels that the world lies before him. Gratified ambition may be the summer, but anticipation is the ardent springtime of a man's career. As Loder drove that night from Fleet street to Grosvenor square he realized this, though scarcely with any degree of consciousness, for he was no accomplished self analyst. But In a wave of feeling too vigorous to be denied he recognized his regained foothold the step that lifted him at once from the pit to the pinnacle. In that moment of realization he looked neither backward nor forward. The present was all sufficing. Difficulties might loom ahead, but difficulties had but one object the testing and sharpening of a man's strength. In the first deep surge of egotistical feeling he almost rejoiced in Chilcote's weakness. The more Chilcote tangled the threads of his life the stronger must be the fingers that unraveled them. He was possessed by a great impatience. The joy of action was stirring in his blood. Leaving the cab, he walked confidently to the door of Chilcote's house and inserted the' latchkey. Even iu this small act there was a grain of individual satisfaction. Then very quietly he opened the door and crossed the hall. As he entered, a footman was arranging the fire that burned in the big grate. Seeing the man, he halted. "Where is your mistress?" he asked In unconscious repetition of his first question in the same house. The man looked up. "She has just finished dinner, sir. She dined alone in her own room." He glanced at Loder in the quick, uncertain way that was noticeable In all the servants of the household when they addressed their master. Loder saw the look and wondered what depth of curiosity it betrayed, how much of insight Into the domestic life that ho must always be content to skim. For an instant the old resentment against Chilcote tinged his exaltation, but he swept it angrily aside. Without further remark he began to mount the stairs. Gaining the landing, he did not turn, as usual, to the door that shut off Chilcote's rooms, but moved onward down the corridor toward Eve's private sit ting room. He moved slowly till the door was reached. Then he paused and lifted his hand. There was a moment's wait while his fingers rested on the handle; then a sensation he could not explain, a reticence, a reluctance to Intrude upon this one precinct, caused his fingers to relax. With a slightly embarrassed gesture he drew back slowly and retraced his steps. Once in Chilcote's bedroom, he walk ed to the nearest bell and pressed it. Iienwick responded, and at sight of him Loder's feelings warmed with ti? same sense of fitness and familiarity that the great bed and somber furniture of the room had inspired. But the man did not come forward as he had expected. lie remained close to the door with a hesitation that was unusual in a trained servant. It struck Loder that possibly his . stolidity had exasperated Chilcote and that possibly Chilcote had been at no pains to conceal the exasperation. The idea caused him to smile involuntarily. "Come into the room, Iienwick," he said. "It's uncomfortable to see you standing there. I want to know if Sirs. Chilcote has sent me any message about tonight." Iienwick studied him furtively as he came forward, "les, sir," he said. "Mrs. Chilcote's maid said that the carriage was ordered for 10:13, and she hoped that would suit you." He spoke reluctantly, as if expecting a rebuke. At the opening sentence Loder had turned, aside, but now, as the man finished, he wheeled round again and looked at him closely with hia keen, observant eyes. "Look here," he said. "I can't have you speak to me like that. I may come down on you rather sharply when my my nerves are bad, but when I'm myself I treat you well, I treat you decently at any rate. You'll have to learn to discriminate. Look at me now!" A thrill of risk and of rulershlp passed through him as he spoke. "Look at me now! Do I look as I looked this morningor yesterday?" The man eyed him half stupidly, half timidjy. "Well?" Loder insisted. "Well, sir," Renwick responded, with some slowness, "you look the same and you look different a healthier color, perhaps, fir, and the eye clearer." He grew more confident under Loder's half humorous, half insistent gaze. "Now that I look closer, sir" Loder laughed. "That's it!" he said. "Now that you look closer. You'll have to grow observant. Observation is an excellent quality In a servant. When you come into a room in future, look first of all to me and take you cue from that. Remember that serving a man with nerves is like serving two masters. Now you can go, and tell Mrs. Chilcote's maid that I shall be quite ready at a quarter past 10." "Yes. sir. And after that?' "Nothing further. I shan't want you again tonight." He turned away Us he spoke and moved toward the

in Chilcote's room. But as the man moved toward the door he wheeled back again. "Oh, one thing more, Renwick! Bring me some sandwiches and a whisky." lie remembered for the first time that he had eaten nothing since early afternoon. A few minutes after 10 Loder Teft Chilcote's room, ' resolutely descended the stairs and took up his position In the hall. Resolution Is a strong word to nrply to such a rroceeding, but something in his bearing, in the attitude of his shoulders and head, instinctively suggested It. Five or six minutes passed, but he waited without impatience. Then at last the sound of a carriage stopping

before the house caused him to lift his j head, and at the same instant Eve appeared at the head of the staircase. She stood there for a second, looking down on him, her maid a pace or two behind holding her cloak. The picture 6he made struck upon his mind with something of a revelation. Ou his first sight of her she had ap pealed to him as a strange blending of youth and self possession a girl with a woman's clearer perception of life. Later he had been drawn to 6tudy Ler In other respects as a possible comrade and friend. Now for the first time he saw her as a power in her own world a woman to whom no man could deny consideration. She looked taller for the distance between them, and the distinction of her carriage added to the effect. Her black gown was exquisitely soft as soft us her black hair. Above her forehead was a cluster of splendid diamonds shaped like a coronet, and a liand of the same stones encircled her neck. Loder realized in a glance that only the most distinguished of women could wear such ornaments and not have her beauty eclipsed. With a touch of the old awkwardness that had before assailed him in her presence, he came slowly forward as she descended the stairs. "Can I help you with your cloak?" he asked, and as he asked it something like surprise at his own timidity crossed his mind. For a second Eve's glance rested on his face. Her expression was quite impassive, but as she lowered her lashes a faint gleam flickered across her eyes. Nevertheless, her answer, when It came, was studiously courteous. "Thank you," she said, "but Marie will do all I want." Loder looked at her for a moment, then turned aside. He was not hurt by his rebuff. Rather, by an interesting sequence of impressions, he was stirred by it. The pride that had refused Chilcote's help, and the self control that had refused It graciously, moved him to admiration. He understood and appreciated both by the light of personal experience. "The carriage is waiting, sir," Crapham's voice broke In. Loder nodded, and Eve turned to her maid. "That will do, Marie." she said "I shall want a cup of chocolate when I get back, probably at 1 o'clock." She drew her cloak about her shoulders and moved toward the door. Then she paused and looked back. "Shall we start?" she asked quietly. Loder, still watching her, came forward at once. "Certainly," he said, with unusual gentleness. He followed her as she crossed the footpath, but made no further offer of help, and when the moment came he quietly took his place beside her In the carriage. His last Impression as the horses wheeled round was of -the open hall door Crapham in his somber livery and the maid in her black dress, both silhouetted against the dark background of the hall; then as the carriage moved forward smoothly and rapidly he leaned back in his seat and closed hi3 eyee. During the first few moments of the drive there was silence. To Loder there was a strange, new sensation in this companionship, so close and yet so distant. He was so near to Eve that the slight fragrant scent from her clothes might almost have belonged to his own. The impression was confusing, yet vaguely delightful. It was years since he had been so close to a woman of his own class, his own caste. He acknowl edged the thought with a curious sense of pleasure. Involuntarily he turned and looked at her. She was sitting very straight, her fine profile cut clear against the carriage window, her diamonds quivering in the light that Cashed by them from the street. For a space the sense of unreality that had pervaded his first entrance Into Chilcote's life touched him again; then another and more potent feeling rose to quell it. Almost involuntarily as he looked at her his lips parted. "May I say something?" he asked. Eve remained motionless. She did not turn her head, as most women would have done. "Say anything you like," she said gravely. "Anything?" He bent a little nearer, filled again by the Inordinate wish to dominate. "Of course." It seemed to him that her voice sounded forced and a little tired. For a moment he looked through the window at the passing lights; then slowly his gaze returned to her face. "You look very beautiful tonigbf," he said. His voice was low and his manner unemotional, but his words had the effect he desired. She turned, her head, and her eyes met his in a glance of curiosity and surprise. Slight as the triumph was, it thrilled him. The small scene with Chilcote's valet came back to him; his own personality moved him again to a reckless determination to make his own voice heard. Leaning forward, he laid his hand lightly on her arm. "Eve," he said quickly "Eve, do you remember' Then he paused and withdrew his hand. The horses had slackened speed, then stopped altogether as the carriage fell into line outside Bramfell House. To Ee Continued)
