John Brett was in the seventh heaven • of happiness, on Saturday morning, and- there were three dis tinct' contributing causes. First, it was Saturday, and he did not have to go to work that day; second, his new suit had come home; third; and im measurably greater, though in a meas ure bound up with reasQn two, he had received a'Jetter from’ Georgia Gaines. ‘‘Yes, I shall be in town Saturday, but only for a couple of hours,” she wrote. “And then, perhaps, I shall answer the question you want to ask me—if you decide to ask it. I shall arrive about 10 o’clock, shall do my phopping a t ----- , shall expect you out ride ----- ” Brett skimmed the letter hastily. Later he would read it at leisure, lingering over each letter of every word of that handwriting which al- jvay thrilled him, even before he had lorn open the envelope. On such oc casions the address—even the simple Superscription, “John Brett, Esq.,” pverwhelmed him with emotion. Reason two turned to gall and Wormwood. The suit did not fit. It fid not fit approximately. It might jiave fitted the Living Skeleton or tnade a passably good garment for jhe Elastic Man, but it was not built lor John Brett. And there was no possibility of changing it. “I’ll take it to the circus—I’ll give (. to Marcelline, the clown,” he solil- pquized. when the first burst of anger lad spent Itself. “No, I won’t, either. . feel so fine today—here, Bill!” The janitor looked up from the f'.rd at the man in the window. “Here’s a new suit for you,\ cried Srett, and flung the garments down o him. Then, after donning his or dinary attire, with a little sigh for a lost impression, he finished his break fast and went downtown. “New, whers are we to meet?” he asked himself a little later, and felt for the letter. His pockets were empty. Suddenly the appalling consciousness came to him that he had left the let- iter in the discarded suit. He rushed back and summoned the janitor. “I’ve got to have the letter ll\! < V. ..V, i i’ ’■>’ > :;V^'PqBtman,’trhe said,\ “there’s a let- \ter£in 'thbre posited by ■ mistake. It’s addressed io John Bfett, in a slanting 'femini4e|liiaud. I.want'it back.” *,;\“Ypu’ll;ihaye to go to the postOffice. •department.If -you want, it before it’a delivered^' • the postman answered. \That’ll -take three days. You’ll get It tonight if you go home and sit down and cooT oif a little.” “Does money talk?” inquired John, waving' a ten-dollar bill in the air. “Well, r ain’t against free speech,\ answered the other, taking the bill and handing John the letter. He seiz ed it, and then, so great was the re action, he was unable to open it for several moments. At last he did so. Inside was a communication from an unknown man. John made out signature with difficulty. Clo—Clo— Closeflt! Then his senses reasserted themselves. It was the bill for the suit, which, the tailor had enclosed in the inside pocket. And he must have left Georgia’s letter at home after all! There was no time to get it now— not the ghost of a chance that he could return within a half hour of the time, -for he knew that Georgia must have made it 11:30 or 11:46. And it was 11:25 now. He tore the letter into a hundred pieces and then, very slowly, with down-hanging head, he walked down Fourteenth street. He would go home, he would write to Georgia and tell her what an aso he had been—no, he would take the first train to her home and crave for giveness. At the thought he swung round, nearly colliding with a young and attractive lady, and started in the direction of the terminal. But before he had gone three steps he felt a touch on his arm and looked around. “Well, you are rude, running away from me like that!” she said petu lantly. “I—” \Georgia!\ exclaimed John Brett. “Well, didn’t you expect to meet me ? Didn’t you come here for that purpose? And didn’t you get my let ter appointing this place?” “What place, Georgia?” John mut tered. “Why, this place,’’ said Georgia sharply. “Peterman’s Misfit Parlors. John, if you don’t prove to me in stantly that you haven’t been drink ing I may change my answer.” (Copyright, 1912, by W. G. Chapman.) WHY THEY DID NOT RETURN Little Story Lacked Pathos Promised by the Altogether Grewsome Introduction. <,«* r f t •Ts- “Postman, There’s a Letter In There, Posted by Mistake.” I left in that coat,” he explained. “1 lurry, Bill, or I’ll miss an important engagement.” The janitor looked sheepish. “Why, Mr. Brett,” he Btammered, “I—I haven’t got it now. I let it go—” “You sold it, you mean,” cried Brett. “Where?” “Why, Mr. Brett, I’ve had some dealings with Mr. Peterman’s Misfit Parlors on Fourteenth street, and—” John Brett waited not an instant, but. hurrying out of the house, leaped aboard a moving car, and 15 minutes later found himself at his destina tion. “You bought a suit this morning,” he explained. “A brownish tweed. It—” “Our purchases run to five dozen suits a morning, mister,” said Mr. Peterman. “Among so many—” “But surely you’ll remember it,” persisted Brett. “It had an import ant letter in the pocket. It was brought in by a colored janitor—’’ “O, sure, I remember,” said the pro prietor affably. “That suit I just sold not three minutes ago to—say, young feller, you hurry down that street and you’ll meet it walking away on a biggish man, but thin—” “I bet he was thin,” muttered John, hurrying out of the store. He ran like a madmaif in the direc tion which Peterman had indicated, looked here and there and round the corners—then, to his indescribable joy he saw the very suit *n question, hanging on—or draping, rather—the back, of a tall, ascetic-looking man who was leaning against a street let ter box. John Brett ran up to him. “You’ve just bought that Buit at Peterman's,\ he panted. ‘1 want to get a letter out of the inside pocket I—” ^ “‘Letter ?” ’ Inquired the ascetic Cheerlessly. “Why—I .thought that djwMSthe^letter '.my wife gave me to Ji^st'^rmisorry, butit’s In that letter the postman.” - And IMe^B^^terad^away/ enveloped.

BEE-KEEPING FOR A FARMER inter- “Talking about omens,” said the ex- Canadian soldier, “a queer thing hap pened in the Boer war: “A troop of mounted rifles were ro turning after a hard day’s scouting to our camp near Middleburg, in the , eastern part of the Transvaal. On our way hack we had to pass the town cemetery, which was on the Bide of a hill. Near the gate of the cemfetery stood a shed in which was .kept the town hearse. The doors of this building were open as we were riding past, and in some manner the blocks which were usually kept under the wheels of the hearse must have become dislodged, for the hearse slowly moved out of the shed and rolled down the hill into the middle of our party, who scatter ed in all directions. “The officer in charge of the troop ordered four men to dismount and take the hearse back. Now comes the queer part. Soon after this we went to Cape Town and took ship forborne. Every man of that scouting party re turned alive and well to Canada ex cept the four men who handled that hearBe. Not a man of that four re turned.” The former warrior paused and heaved a sigh. “Good men, true comrades they were,” said he. “Have another drink,” said the bar tender, “and tell us how the poor fel lows died.” Silently the soldier drank to the memory of his comrades, set down the empty glass and edged toward the door. “The reason they did not come back waB because two of them' got good jobs in Cape Town; the other two married Boer widows and settled down on farms,” he said. Loneliest England. A man who was described as living In one of the loneliest parts of Eng land has been, given a parliamentary vote by the revising barrister at Brampton, Cumberland. The conser vative agent said he had visited the place—a farm situated on a fell be tween Newcastle and Maltwhistle on the border of Northumberland. In an area of 30,000 acres there were only four cottages. The members of this farmer's family had lived in the cottage concerned for 600 years,.and tradition said that the kitchen fire haf never been extinguished for 200 years The claimant, 'William Goodfellow, slept in a bedroom eight feet square. He would have to walk fifteen miles tt> vote. The Liberal agent said he en deavored to reach this remote spot, and finding the route bo difficult and dangerous turned back when he had still twelve miles to travel.

A great many farmers seem to think that honey bees are not worth any thing, but still they value what they make very highly. Every one of them would be glad to have honey on his table all the time. If they would just take a little extra time and labor they could have all they wanted. Just have a few hiveB in the back yard, and you will have all the honey you want for your own use. If you have not any time at all to spend with bees, why not let your wife or the children have a few colonies? Bee-keeping is a light, pleasant out- 3oor work. Considering the time re quired and money spent, there is nothing that will net the owner any more than the keeping of bees. As high as ton dollars’ worth of honey has been gathered by a single Bwarm of bees; but generally they gather about two dollars’ worth in one season. Many people would keep bees if it were not for their stings. A bee keeper does not get stung often—be would not any more think of getting Btung in picking up a handful of bees than you would in picking up a downy little chick. Honey is a good food for the sick Bind well, old and young. It can he used a great many ways in the kitchen in preparing things for the table.

In starting an apiary the first thing to be considered is the selec tion of a suitable location for the hives. This should be in some open or nearly open place where there will be no overhanging branches from trees to interfere with the operation of the apiarist, convenient to some building to he used as a shop for preparing and storing hives and ap paratus, and near enough to the house to he easily watched .in swarming time, and, above all, in a place suffi ciently level to make it easy to get around the hives and keep the grass mowed about and around them. REPOSITORY FOR SEED CORN Details of Rack That Is Mouse. Proof and as Each Ear Is Separate They Dry Out Quickly. Here is a very useful rack for sav ing and drying seed corn. To make it, take two pieces of 2x6, 4 feet long, for the bed pieces, and £wo pieces of 3x4, 6 feet long, for the upright posts. Gain the posts on to the bed pieces and bolt and nail them securely, says the Farm and Home. Then take two six-quart milk pans and place the end of the post in the center of the pan and mark it. Cut two slits cornerwise across the place marked on the pan, turn up the points and slide the pan down over' the post to a point 20 inches from the- bottom and nail it to the posts. Now take lxl2-inch hardwood boards of whatever length you wish to make the rack and nail them to the posts 1% inches apart.
