The Crippled Lady of Peribonka

— James Oliver Carwood WXT Service <©. 1959. .Doubleday Doran * Co.. Inc.)

STORY FROM THE START Introducing some of the people of the pretty little FrenchCanadian village of Peribonka, particularly the Crippled Lady, idol of the simple inhabitants. Paul Kirke is a descendant-of a sister of Molly Brant, sister of Joseph Brant, great Indian chief. He has Inherited many Indian characteristics. His father is a powerful New York financier. Paul marries Claire Durand, daughter of his father's partner. He is in charge of engineering work near Peribonka. Paul's wnfe Is in Etirope-. She dislikes the woods. Paul becomes interested in Carla, village teacher. Paul w rites his wife to join him. Carla s mother, long an Invalid, dies Claire announces her in- , tent ion. of joining Paul op the AtlsiassinL ,

CHAPTER V- Continued - —9— ■ He war glad he had heard the words from her own lips. It built up a new comradeship between them and made hint more positive ofliis triumph over ' hltnself. A letter- from Claire helped him. His wife laughed at him pleasantly for his whimsical sugges Hon of a Journey around the World, . nnil t hen painted In her picturesque and vivid way t lie torture which she knew such a trip would be for him •Without your forests, your open skies,' vour big outdoors, you would die before we got half around. Paul,” she wrote hint “It uould be merci loss of-me to make you pay In that way for my presence tip at the Mistassini l am coming, and Just because 1 want to come. I am anticipating seeing something very wonderful up there, something which will mean greatly more to you ami me than Six months or a year rambling around the earth a« for such a' trip, with you in It ' —and’then she went on to tell him more about .himself than he thought she find,ever known. The letter thrilled hitn. It gave .hitn a new vls»h>n of Viaire, who nad never analyzed him Ir this gentle and understanding way. portraying fur him the life which he loved as though it were a part of herself. But In the eml. after assuring him again that she was coming to him and was looking forward to.the time when they would be together, she said her return to America might be i>ostpotied until the following May or June. Could be wait that long? Carta also received a letter from Claire It was tilled with a womanly tenderness and sympathy for one who hud suffered a great lost*. and was filled with I e Intimate knowledge and sentiment which could only have been given tnd inspired by Paul. Carla let him read It. Her eyes were strangely might, though she nad prepared ;; ber self to show if to him. “Toil told dm* ome that millions could not buy sentiment." she said. “And’ millions could . not bring what has’ come in her letter. It Is her heart sjn-aklng to me" v’ar.a tecame so deeply Absorbed In work outside of her school that be did riot talk with tier again for a week. She formed evening classes. In which' she taught English to the adults who warned tn rotne to them, and the few spate hours of her afternoons were s;« n! among the mothers of her school children. With Hie coming of winter Pau hurled> himself tnofj passionately in the tn tnnl. stress of outdoor labor, leaving his office routine largely to others, and 'he change benefited him t’arla,. on the other land, seemed to have assumed too great a burden. The strain. If it were that, began to Show its ''.effect on her. until Lucy Belle noted it and remonstrated with Paul. “Every day she is growing less like the t'arla we knew before her mother died." she told him. “She is breaking •under an effort to keep her mind nvyay from herself. Yesterday, I dropped into her cottage for a moment when I kne's she was there, and I found tier crying. She Is growing pah-r. and it frightens me to see the loveliness fading Mowly out of her fa« e. You must do » methlng. Paul, make tier drop her night classes, send her away for s vacation If you can. I think I am the only one she'confides In nt all. and I should not betray her conlidenee —not even what I have guessed about her. But something Is eating at her life srblcb Isn't entirely the loss of her mother. She Insists tht|t her night work Is a pleasure, says she Is feeling well and doesn t want, to go away. But l know of a dream she has always hqd of visiting her mother's country: If the company could arrange something like that—“ Paul saw Carla the next day, a cold Sunday with snow on the ground. For the first time tn manv weeks they had a long walk together, and at the be-

Listeners Didn’t Quite Get Shades of Meaning

. It all depend# upon how you gay It There whs once ■ clergyman by the name of Twitchel. In the pulpit he maintained a gravity of manner and expression, but out of the pulpit was a regular fellow. Occnaiotially he would If the emergency required. Ihtroduce something queer In a sermon for the rake of arousing the attention of the congregation. One Sunday, seeing that his hearers were liecomlng sleepy, he paused In his sermon and said: “Brethren, you haven't any tdeu of the sufferings ot our missionaries in the new settlemrnts. on account of the mosquitoes. The ntos»iuitoes In some of these regions are ermroums. A great many of them would weigh a pound, and they «iil get on the logs and bark when tin* iithurioMr.es are going along.* By this lime all ears and eyes were open ami lie proceeded to finish hi? discourse. The next day one of the mutch members called him to account <ur telling lies In the pulpit.

ginning of It she settled any suggestions he might have had tn his mind. It was as If she saw written tn his face what Lucy-Belle had said to him. She mentioned Mrs. Derwent’s visit and told him what she had said about her work, smiling the other’s fears away as absurd and without reason, and adding with a very decisive little note In her voice that to give up this work or go away, as Lucy-Belle had suggested, was the last thing she would think of doing. She had heard again from his wife. It was her third letter, and came from Capri, where she was spending the winter, painting. Claire bad sent her a little sketch of the vineyards and the picturesque houses on their rock cliffs. These letters. Carla said, would always remain brightly in her memories, they were so friendly and cheering. She had answered them, and had tried to tell Claire a little about her pwn work, and of the glory and beauty of the great forests and mighty rivers near them. But she lacked the creative soul which his wife possessed, and could not adequately describe them. * ’ Paul knew that something al Carla’s real soul was gone even as she talked to hlrnllis own dragged heavily through the winter. Spring came, and his days at the pit were almost over. August would see tils work finished. He did not know what he would do then, he told Carla. Things were happening In South America. He might go there. Carla's future was settled for another year. The government had offered her a contract to remain with the children on the Mistassini, and she had accepted. She hoped that within' a year or iwo she might be able to find a place in Peribonka. near tier mother. Late in .May Paul's wife sailed from Cherbourg and. to his surprise, was coming straight to Quebec to join him. "That Is wonderful of her,” said Carla, her eyes shining with ’he light which was always in them when she was thinking or speaking of Claire. “She is coming directly to you I” The day he left for Quebec be saw tier for a few moment’s to say good-by. “1 wish i were a man—and you.'' she said. <? A radiance was In her face when he left her. That evening, at dinner, Lucy-Belle said to her husband: “Carla'a school was closed this afternoon. Beryl told me she dismissed the children because she had a headache. We must go over and see her.” “1 have been there," replied Derwent. “I was a bit worried when one of the boys told me what had bap pened. so I went over to see If she needed me. and found her—crying." “Oh’” exclaimed Lucy Belle. “Now I chink I understand!" / She said nothing more /to her hus baud about Carla Ha I dan. CHAPTER VI The crowning point of anticipation In Paul's six years of married life was tiis journey to meet Claire. Frpm the Mistassini to I’qberval, from Bob erval to Metebevhewun. ami from there down to Chicoutimi, where he took the cross wilderness tru ip to Quet»ec. he built steadily to the visions wtii -h the increasing interest and com radeshir in his wife's letters hud helped him to create during the long winter. That she was. not following her usual precedent <>t going to New York, but was coming to Dim. gave him an emotional thrill wnlch it had not- previously been bls happiness to experience In his relationship with tier. He believed -that for Claire to divert herself in this way from home, her own people. And a frost of friends after an absence of nearly a year, that she might come to him in a wilderpess which she frankly detested, was almost dramatically significant of a change in her attitude toward him. It was the mystery of this change which withheld from his feeling the one thin* which might have made It a rear passion of ex[»ectancy and Joy. In none of Jtser tetters, which had drawn tier nearer to blm than she had ever beep, had she spoken of love izven In response to the warmest of bls communications to her she had given him no definite satisfaction, except to write him tn away which, without o[>enly avowing herself, drew her t closer to him. aid gave to his Ideals of her a glowing, fleshly reality which excited and possessed him as he went to meet her.

the airship without delay. They flew over the North sea and as they approached the coast of Nonvay there was a huge splash as Atlantic and the North greeted one another. “They shouldn’t give each other any small nod,” Da v i d thought to himself, “considering they’re such mighty bodies of water." Wind let David down by something that seemed like a narrow val-

ley between rocky mountains, only it was not a valley but a body of water. To David It looked Just like a picture he had seen of a fiord and then he knew it must be a fiord. • The water was very still and dark and the rocky banks on either side were very high. Baek of the great rocky hills little valleys were settled between the rocks and a wagon was now coming down the winding hili from a small brightly painted wooden hut which stood upon a rocky foundation. _ There was some one In the wagon. David sat and wialted. The person got out of the wagon as It reached the end of the road between the rocks, and come over to the place where David was sitting, “Helio,” he said. “Hello," David answered. “My name,” he explained, “is Scandinavia. I’ve Just been having a talk with the Gulf Stream. David Was about to ask If. she was In these parts, too, and then he remembered Gulf Stream had told him that if it were not for her work there would be no nice country for the Scandinavians. He was glad he had stopped in time, for it would have been a great pity to have asked a question about something he knew. “She was talking to Wind, too, just after you left him,” Scandinavia went on, "and you've no idea how pleasantly it made Wind feel. He breezed about as he talked but his voice was so. warm and friendly. "I'm all dyer these parts," Scandinavia continued. L>avid thought he wouldn't ask which parts but would wait to see if Scandinavia told him without being asked, and he did. almost at once. "I've taken this small shape so I could come and talk to you. Geo said 1 could <lo that. I'm really big. I’m really very big. I'm a peninsula. “Norway and Sweden both join forced to make me what I am—and what I am is a good-sized peninsula. Tin not any little creature." “You like the sea. don't you?” David asked.. Scandinavia had seated himself upon a rock. “Oh. I do! But then I must keep in touch with the land a bit, too.- That is the way we peninsulas have of doing—we -never let the land get completely out of sight. It wouldn’t be fair to the land, we feel, to entirely neglect It. "How do you like this part of the world?" “I think it's grand,” David said .enthusiastically. “Yes, that’s just what it is—grand." Scandinavia nodded approvingly. "Almost the grandest word you could think of wouldn’t be too grand for it, but grand itself will do. "By the way. will you have some lunch? I brought some for you.” "Won't I just!" David cried. “1 had two breakfasts but I wouldn’t mind some lunch. 1 think the air must have given me an appetite. I’ve heard that air does do that." “You don't need to apologize for the appetite." Scandinavia said. "I’d

feel badly If you didn’t want to eat, and while you’re eating Geo said I could tell you a little about our’fine peninsula." So David settled himself, there beside the fiord, and Scandinavia gave him a lunch of bread and milk, but the bread was crisp and thin and quite unlike the bread he was used to eating at home.

DAIRY FACTS MORE MILK MEANS HIGHER QUALITY Better Article Produced by Increasing Output. , Greater quantities of milk produced on the average farm mean a higher quality of milk. Attempts to increase the quantity of milk, therefore, lead toward production of a better article, it is pointed out by 11. B. Stoltz, professor of dairy technology at the Ohio State university. “The dairyman shipping five to ten cans of milk daily is in a business which makes it necessary for him to test his cows for tuberculosis, cool his milk, endeavor to produce it more etticiently. and give it the proper care in order to meet ins|»ection demands at city consumers. The farmer, not a dairyman, who keeps only two or three cows, is not in the dairy business—he just keeps some cows. To increase his production and put him into the dairy bushfess means improving the quality Os his product and the efficiency with whichJt is produced,” says Professor Stoltz.. The Scioto, valley milk producers and the milk distributors of Columbus are attempting tb encourage increase<l production by paying a premium for quantity. For producers who average less than 100 pounds of milk a day the price is §2.95 a hundred pounds: for those who average 100 to 150, pounds daily, the price is $3.00 a hundred. The scale rises until producers selling more than 250 pounds a day get $3.15 a hundred pounds for it—2o cents more than those who. produce less than 100 pounds a ; “Quality might be rapidly improved if the distributors paid a premium for high quality. This plan has been tried in several places and has not proved satisfactory," says Professor Stoltz. "It would undoubtedly be more satisfactory if the movement Started with the producers rather than with the distributors." Milk Cooling Tanks Are Essential During Winter People who make a iwactice of not using their cooling tanks for cream during the winter months should get them fixed up and in operation. Nothing will do more to improve the quality of cream offered to creameries, than the use of cooling tanks. The tank should be fixed so that there is. room for two containers. One should' hold the fresh cream and the other the cream that is being held for niarket. It is a well-established fact that where warm cream is mixed with the cold cream before it is cooled,' that it w ill neither keep as well norj have as desirable a flavor as where it is cooled separately. Many people have been using their cooling tanks ajl winter. Where they are properly constructed, they will keep the cream from freezing. On most farms it is a problem to properly, cool cream and hold the same without freezing, unless a cooler of this kind is used in the winter as well ns summer. If cream is kept in the cellar or-in the kitchen; -it is not- only apt to get sour but will pick up undesirable odors. . Soy Beans Are Favored in Winter Dairy Ration The comparatively high prices which arF being asked for cottonseed meal and linseed oilmeal and the large acreage bf soy beans in a large part <jf the corn belt are hading dairy menjo consider the use of soy beans as a protein supplement in tjie dairy ration during the winter. Experiments comlucted at the Purdue experiment station in which ground soy beans were compared with linseed oilmeal showed that the. ground beans produced from 2 to 4 per cent more milk than an equal weight of oilmeal. This makes it possible for the dairyman to grow a complete dairy ration on the farm. Bluegrass Is Hardy and Excellent Feed for Cows Bluegrass is hardy. It will survive in spite of barly, dose, and late grazing, and It Is excellent feed for cows when they can get enough of it Bat it Is a slacker in dry weather. The hot, dry winds of midsummer stop its growth and the dairy cow is left without sufficient feed Just at the time she requires an abundance to enable her to fight flies, withstand the ill effects of severe heat, and produce a normal flow of milk. For these reasons many progressive dairy farmers are discarding blueerass as a pasture crop on tillable land. / Save Com Cost A tank heater will return approximately S3O a cow in increased profits during the winter months. With a 10-cow herd this would mean a saving of S3OO and would be profitable. It takes a good deal of expensive corn, eaten by a cow, to raise the temperature of Ice water to body heat and this Is directly reflected in the profits that may be obtained in the production of winter milk- These statements are upon results obtained at the Missouri experiment station. Grain for Calf A mixture of oats and barley that tips been coarsely ground can comprise the grain ration for a young quite satisfactorily, if the calf Is fitting a good legume hay such as alfalfa or clover. This grain ration could be improved upon by adding a little bran and linseed meal to it. A mixture of 30 per cent either barley or corn and 10 per cent linseed oilmeal makes a very good grain ration for a calf. This can be fed during the winter.

MM PLAN TO PREVENT POULTRY LOSSES Poor Production Usually Due to Insanitary Methods. Successful poultrymen realize that practically alldieavy losses in poultry are preventable, according to Charles N. Keen, assistant professor in poultry at the Colorado Agricultural college. Heavy losses and poor production in poultry are usually due, Mr. Keen says, to some of the following factors : Failure to have clean houses, clean feed, clean water, birds free from parasites and failure to remove sick birds from the houses. The fact that one changes, the straw regularly does not mean that the house Is in a good sanitary condition. Reg-' ular cleaning of the dropping boards must go with it. When you enter a poultry house during cold weather ami the odor is such as to make you halt when you open the door, it is evident that the air is not sanitary. The practice of feeding in open hoppers, dishpuns and the like, allows droppings to' get into the mash feed. This .spreads disease and causes a great deal of waste. • Stagnant water left in the house for 24 hours, to three or four days at a time, is not a sanitary condition ' Birds which are affected with lice and mites become weakened and subject'to disease. The following system used at the Colorado experiment station while birds are housed during the winter has proved very satisfactory, and we have little trouble with disease. " , . Dropping boards are cleaned three times a week or more and sprayed often with a spray consisting of 50 per cent crankcase oil and ->0 per cent distillate or kerosene with one-half pint creosote disinfectant added to five gallons of the mixture. This spray is used from once a week to once .a month, depending upon- the amount needed. The dropping boards are oily from this spray. This helps in cleaning them during cold weather. A good disinfectant mixed with water is used for nests and other parts of the house several times a year. For lice the perches are painted with nicotine sulphate four or five times n year, or more often if necessary. Whenever colds appear A good disinfectant is used in the water, and any birds appearing weak or showing a tendency to roup, are removed. All birds which become sjek are killed. It is surprising how much the killing of a few diseased birds will save. Sunlight for Poultry b Flock Quite Essential ■ During the winter, months the location and adjustment of windows in the laying house, are very important. There should be windows in each end of the house so that sunlight, wilt Strike the entire floor some time during the' day. Along the South wall should la* a large number of windows, and it is preferable that these be made of a high grade glass substitute which permits the entrance of the maximum amount of ultra-violet ray. Muslin curtains and ordinary glass are not satisfactory for this purpose. These window s should be well fitted and should be kept clean as the ultra-violet ray does not penetrate through dust and dirt. Furthermore it is better that they be arranged so they can be taken down during the summer months and not subjected to weathering. Adequate Ventilation Essential for Poultry Adequate ventilation is important for a profitable, 'poultry flock. Sufficient fresh air must be admitted to replacejyie moisture-laden air thrown off by the birds. It must be admitted so as to avoid drafts. The open front principle is used extensively in many sections. It has been; determined that the openings in the front wall should equal approximately jone-tenth of the floor area. To protect the flock ing severe storms frames covered with a light weight of muslin may be used in the front openings. Avoid Diseases Raising strong healthy chicks Is largely a problem of keeping them away from the infection and diseases which thrive in old poultry yards. Experience proves that although the old birds are free from*the effects of disease, they harbor many diseases which prove destructive to young chicks. Wire screen floors have been used successfully for years by some poultrymen and their use is increasing rapidly. Needs Shell Material A hen producing 200 eggs a year must be supplied with sufficient calcium carbonate, so that after the loss that comes through digestion, she still will lie able to deposit around the egg In She form of shell nearly three pounds of shell forming material. Such heavy calcium carbonate or eggshell production demands serious consideration. Even though every other requirement is supplied, a deficiency of calcium carbonate will be limiting factor in production. Chicks Crowd One cause of large losses among chicks that are brooded artificially results from crowding. If for any reason the chicks become chilled they are apt to crowd together in order to keep warm. This piling up usually resu’ts in the death of several chicks at the bottom of the pile.' Even if they do not die tliey will be stunted. Their digestive systems will be so upset that they will not eat as they should and growth will stop, making them practically worthless.
