"You know, auntie darling--" "Now, Carol, don't you raggMt aay- (thing--" "Ob- no Indeed, dearest, how could Qroti think of such a thing?" disclaimed Carol instantly. "It's such a very tiny thing, but it will mean a whole lot on the general impression of a mlllion- laittftf Son. We've simply got to have m maid!

Oh, Carol, don't be so mean." « B^ldOaroI stood firm, and the others yi«ufe* to her persuasions. Even Aunt Orace allowed her qualms to be Quieted ; and entered into her part as semi-lnva- lid auntie with genuine zest. At three they were all arrayed, ready for the presentation. They assembled socially in the parlor, the dainty maid ready to fly to her post at a second's warning. At four o'clock, they were a little fagged and near the point of ex­ asperation, but they still held their characters admirably. At half past four a telegram message was phoned out from the station. "Delayed in coming. • Will write you later. Very sorry. Andy Hedges, jr." Onty the absolute ludlcrousness of it isaved Carol from a rage. She looked tfrom the girlish tonnls girl to the semi- tr valid auntie, and then to the sweet •young daughter of the house, and burst out laughing. The others, though tired, nervous and disappointed, joined her merrily, and the vexation was swept •way. •• The next morning. Aunt Grace went , aa usual to the all-day meeting of the ^Ladles' Aid in the church parlors. Carol and Lark, with a light lunch, jwent out for a few hours of springtime iiappiness beside the creek two miles from town. "Well come back right after lunch­ eon," Carol promised, "so if Andy the Second should come, we'll be on hand." "Oh, he won't come today." "Well, he just better get here before "father comes home. I know father will like our plan after it's over, but I also . know he'll veto It If he gets home In time. Wish you could go with us. Con- •to." "Thanks. But I've got to sew on forty Jettons.

And she went upstairs to don a garment suitable for.cherry-tree serv Ice. from a rag bag in the closet at the head of the stairs, she resurrected some Remains of last summer's ap­ parel First she put on'a blue calico, but the skirt was so badly torn in places that it proved insufficiently pro­ tecting. Further search brought to light another skirt, ptuk, in a still worse state of delapldatlon. However, since the holes did not occur simultane­ ously in the two garments, by wearing both she was amply covered. For a waist she wore a red crepe dressing sacque, and about her hair she tied a broad, ragged ribbon of red to protect the soft waves from the ruthless twigs. She looked at herself In the mirror. Nothing daunted by the sight of her .own unslghtliness, she took a bucket and" went Into the back yard. Gingerly she climbed into the tree, gingerly because Connie was ttot fond jOf scratches on her anatomy, and then •began her task. It was a glorious morning. The birds, frightened away by the living scare-crow in the tree, perched In other, cherryless trees around her and burst into derisive song. And Connie, light-hearted, free from care, In love with the whole wide world, sang, too, pausing only now and then to thrust a ripe cherry be­ tween her teeth. She did not hear the prolonged ring­ ing of the front door bejti. She did not yoserve the young man In the most Im­ maculate of white spring suits who came Inquiringly around the house. But when the chattering of a saucy robin became annoying, she ftung a cherry at him crossly. "Oh, chase yourself!" she cried. And nearly fell from her perch In dismay When a low voice from beneath said pleasantly: j "I beg your pardonl Mliw Starr?" Connie swallowed hard, to get the last cherry and the mortification out of her throat. ~ "Yes," she said, noting tile Immacu­ late white spring halt and the hand­ some shoes, and the costly panama held so lightly in his hand. She knew the panama was costly because they had wanted to buy one for her father's birthday, but decided not to. am Andrew Hedges," he explained, smiling sociably. Connie wilted completely at that. "Good night," she muttered with a van­ ishing mental picture of their lovely preparations the day previous. "I-- mean good morning, oa ao glad to *1 Beg Your Pardon! Miss Starr?" miet you. You--you're later,' aren't you? I mean, aren't you ahead of your­ self? At least you didn't write, did you?" "No, I was not detained so Jong as I had anticipated, »o I came right on. But I'm afraid I'm inconveniencing you." "Oh, not a bit, I'm quite comfort­ able," she assured him. "Auntie Is gone Just now,' and the twins are away, too, but they'll all be back presently." She looked longingly at the house. 'Til have to come down, I suppose." "Let me help you," he offered eager­ ly. Connie in the Incongruous clothes, with the little curls straying beneath the ragged ribbon, and with stains of cherry on her lips, looked more pre­ sentable than Connie knew. "Oh, I--" she hesitated, • flushing. "Mr. Hedges," she cried imploringly, will you just go around the corner un­ til I get down. I look fearful." "Not a bit of It** he said. "Let me take the cherries.•* Connie helplessly'passed theft! .down to him, and saw him carefully deposit­ ing them on the ground. "Just give me your hand." And what could Connie do? She couldn't sternly order a millionaire's son to mosy around the house and mind his own business until she got some decent clothes on, though that wap what she /earned to do. Instead she held out a slender hand, grimy and red, with a few ugly scratches here and there, and allowed herself to be helped lgnomlniously out from the shel­ tering branches into the garish light of day. She looked at him reproachfully. He never so much as smiled. "Laugh If you like," she said bitter­ ly. "I looked In the mirror. I kgow all about It" "Run along," he said, "but don't be gone long, will you? Can you tjr^st me with the cherries f* Connie walked into the house with great decorum, afraid the ragged skirts might swing reveallngly, but the young man bent over the cherries while she made her escape. It was another Connie who appeared *r". '*> . _. ..t * . y 4i *.'• •*' •< ,7Z white from the velvet band in her hair to the canvas shoes on her dainty feet. She held out the slender hand, no long­ er grimy and stained, but its whiteness still marred with sorry scratches. "I am glad to see you," she said gracefully, "though r can only pray you won't carry a mental picture of me very long:** ' ; , ^ "I'm afraid $ Will, though," he sald teasingly. "Then please don't paint me verbally for my sisters' ears; they are always so clever where I am concerned. It is too bad they are out. You'll stay for luncheon wlth nae, won't you? I'm all alone--we4ll have It In the ya»d." "It sonnda tempting, but--perhaps I had better come again later in the afternoon." "You may do that, too," said Connie. "But since you are here, I'm afraid I must insist that you help amuse me." And she added ruefully, "Since I have done so well amusing you this morn­ ing." "Why, he's just like anybody else," she was thinking with relief. "It's no trouble to talk to him, at all. He's nice In spite of the millions." He stayed for luncheon, he even helped carry the folding table out be­ neath the cherry tree, and trotted docilely bade and forth with plates and glasses, as Connie decreed. It was not until they were at lunch­ eon that the grand idea visited Cottirie. Back to her remembrance flashed the thousand witty sallies of Carol and Lark, the hundreds of tinges she had suffered at their hands. And for the first time in her life, she saw a clear way of getting even. And a million­ aire's son! Never was such a revenge fairly crying to be perpetrated. Will yotr do something for me, Mr. Hedges?" she asked. Connie was only sixteen, but something that Is bom In woman told her to lower her eyes shy­ ly, and then look up at him quickly be­ neath her lashes. And she saw in a flash the ruse worked. Then she told him softly, very pret­ tily. . "But won1!! She dislike me, If I dot" he asked. No, she won't" said Connie. "We're a family of good laughers, We enjoy a joke nearly as much when it's on us. as when we are on top." So It was arranged, and shortly aft­ er luncheon the young, man in the im­ maculate spring suit took his depar­ ture. Then Connie summoned her aunt by phone, and told her she must hasten home to help "get ready for the mil­ lionaire's son." It was after two when the twins arrived, and Connie and their gunt hurrl< I them so violently that they hadn't time to ask how Connie got her information. * He had arrived! A millionaire's son! Instantly their enthusiasm returned to them. The cushions on the couch were carefully arranged for the reclining of the semi-Invalid aunt, who, with the sweet young daughter of the house, was upstairs waiting to be summoned. Connie, with the tennis racquet, ,was in the shed, waiting to arrive theatri­ cally. Carol, In her trim black gown with a white cap and apron, was a dream. And when he came she ushered him in, courtesying in a .way known only on the stage, and took his hat and stick, and said softly: Yes, sir--please come in, sir--Til call the ladles." She knew she was bewitching, of course, since she had done it on pur­ pose, and she lifted her eyes Just far enough beneath the lashes to give the properly coquettish effect. He caught her hand, and drew her slowly toward him, admiration In his eyes, but trepi­ dation In his heart, as he followed Con­ nie's coaching. But Carol was panic- stricken, she broke away from him roughly and ran upstairs, forgetting her carefully rehearsed: "Oh, no, sir-- oh, please, sir--you'd better wait for the ladles." But once out of reach she regained her composure. The seml-lnvalld aunt trailed down the stairs, closely fol­ lowed by the attentive maid to arrange her chair and adjust the silken shawt. Mr. Hedges introduced hinjself, feeling horribly foolish In the presence of the lovely serving girl, and wishing she would take herself Off. But she lin­ gered effectively, whispering softly \ Shall I lower the window, mad- ame? Is it too cool? Your bottle, inadarae!" And the guest rubbed his hand swiftly across his face to hide the slight twitching of his lip*. Then the model maid disappeared, and presently the sweet daughter of the house, charming in the gray silk mull and satin slippers, appeared, smil­ ing, talking, full of vivacity and life. And after a while the dashing tennis girl strolled In, smiling Inscrutably Into the eyes that turned so quizzically toward her. For a time all went well. The chaperoning aunt occasionally lifted a dainty cologne bottle to her sensitive nostrils, and the daughter of the house carried out her girlish vi­ vacity to the point of utter weariness. Connie said little, but her soul ex­ panded with the foretaste of triumph. Dinner is served, madame," said the soft voice at the door, and they all walked out sedately. Carol ad­ justed the Ipvalid auntie's shawl once more, and was ready to go to the kitchen when a quiet: . "Won't Miss Carol sit down with us?" made her stop dead in her tracks. He had pulled a chair from the cor­ ner up to the table for .her, and she dropped Into It She put her elbows on the table, and leaning her dainty chin in her hands, gazed thoughtfully at Connie, whose eyes were bright with the fires of victory. "Ah, Connie, I have hopes of you yet--you are Improving," she said gen­ tly. "Will joii run fo.ut to Jtjie kitchen and bring me a bowl of soup, my child?" ^ free--and in the midst Of it Carol looked up, wiping her eyes, and said: 'Tin sorry now I didn't let you me, just to shock father!"? , But the visit was a great success. Even Mr. Starr realized that. The millionaire's son remained in Mount Mark four days, the cynosure of all eyes, for as Carol said, "What's the use of bothering with a millionaire's son if you can't brag about him?" . And his devotion to his father's col­ lege chum was such that he wrote to him regularly for a long time after, and came westward now and again to renew the friendship so auspiciously begun. "But you cant call him a p?oblem, father," said Carol keenly. "They aren't problematic until they discrimi­ nate. And he doesn't. He's as fond of Connie's conscience as he is of my complexion, as far as I can see." She rubbed her velvet skin regretfully. She' had two pimples yesterday and he never even noticed them. The she leaned forward and smiled. "Father, you keep an eye on Connie. There's something In there that we aren't on to yet." And with this cryptic re­ mark, Carol turned her attention to a small jar of cold cream the drug­ gist had given her to sample ̂ CHAPTER XV. The Twins Have a Proposal. It was half past three on a delight­ ful -summer afternoon. The twins stood at the gate with two hatless youths, performing what seemed to be the serious operation of separating their various tennis rackets and shoes from the conglomerate jumble. Finally, laughing and calling back over their shoulders, they sauntered lazily up the walk toward the house, and the young men set off In the direction from which they had come. They were hard­ ly out of hearing distance when the front door opened, and Aunt Grace beckoned hurriedly to the twins. "Come on, quick," she said. "Where In the world have you been all dayl Did you have any luncheon f Mrs. For­ rest and Jim were here, and they In­ vited you to go home with them for a week in the country. I said I knew you'd want to go, and they promised to come for you at four, but I couldn't find any place. I suppose it Is too late now. It's--" "A week!" „ ,, « , * "At Forrests'?" , * <s - "Come on, : enough. We'll be ready in fifteen min­ utes." "Come on up. Auntie; we'll tell yon where we've been." The twins flew up the stairs, their aunt as close behind af she deemed safe. Inside their own room they promptly and ungracefully kicked off their loose pumps, tossed their tennis shoes and racquets on the bed, and be­ gan tugging at the cords of their middy blouses. 5 " ' 'You go and wash, Carol," said Lark, "while I comb. Then I can have the bathroom to myself. And hurry up!

' In several Western cities "young-old" men have formed an organization that may become nation-wide in its scope, for the purpose of securing employ­ ment folr men who have passed their prime. This Is decidedly the day of young men, and the man who has passed middle life without having laid up a competency or mastered some, special line of work is at a dreadful disadvan­ tage. But It has always been so. And age, now as always, says the Christian Her­ ald, is not so much a matter of years as of declining enthusiasm. We have seen men on whose strong shoulders rests the burden of seven, eight and sometimes nine decades, full of unwasted power of spirit and strength when it comes to freshness and Joy in the work done and the vision fulfilled. The great work of the world is be­ ing done and always has been done by men of middle life and more. Four- fifths of the business failures are made by young men. It Is ripened experience and judgment that count in the busi­ ness world, as in any other. In physical work the older man may be outclassed by the younger one; but In lines of work calling for skill,' stead­ iness and reliability the older man has the advantage. There Is something seriously wrong with an economic system that finds a man useless at fifty. ^ Khaki Colors DtfMt. Considerable comment is being aroused in official circles and else­ where over the disparity of the khaki uniforms worn by officers and privates. Some of them are so faded thnt they look almost white, while others retain original coloring. A few cases have been noted, states the Pathfinder, where the coat and breeches of uni­ forms have developed different hues. One excuse offered Is that the khaki cloth Is acquired from many manufac­ turers and the grades of It differ wide­ ly sometimes. Thousands of young men entering the officers' training camps purchase their own uniforms, and this provides mi opportunity for a difference la the quality of the goods. Prehistoric Man Found. ' The remains of 41 prehistoric vtpm have been found near Mexico City burled under three meters of volcanic lava.

(Prepared by the United Btmtes Depart­ ment of Acrlcultura.1 The proper time to cut field peas for hay is when most of the pods are well formed, since considerable of the nu­ trient value of the plant Is contained In the seed. When seeded In mixtures with grain, the time of cutting may be governed to some extent by ma­ turity of ffie graln^ but the varieties of peas and grain ueeJIn the mixture should be chosen that the crop can be harvested at the most favorable pe­ riod at maturity for both. Formerly, crop of field peas was considered very difficult to harvest, and much of the harvesting was done with a scythe or an old-fashioned cradle. This was thought necessary, first, because the vines, are often tangled and, second, because of the loss from shattering where mower and rake are used. There Is now available, however, an attach­ ment for the ordinary mower which consists of guards that extend In front of the cutter bar, lifting the vines off the ground, so that the mower can pass underneath without becoming entang­ led in the vines themselves. There is also a windrow attachment which ef­ fectually removes the peas> from the swath and leaves them In a windrow behind the mower. Where sach an at­ tachment Is not used it is necessary to have a man with a fork follow the mower and move the vines to ope side, so that the team and mower will not pass pvQE the peas in the following round. The peas can be left in the windrow or bunched with a rake and left until dry and ready to stack. When stacked In the open it is neces­ sary to protect the stacks by means of canvas covers or with a layer of green grass placed over the top. The field pea should be cut for seed when the pods are fully mature and the peas have become firm. It is not well, however, to wait until, the vine and pods are both dry,, since if that is done the lose from shattering Is sure to be large. If the peas are rained on during the period while they are curing in the windrow or In bunches, they should be turned over as soon as the top of the bunch Is dry. If this Is not done the peas underneath will swell and burst the pods, so that when they become dry a great percentage will shelV out and be left on the ground. Whenever possible, the peas which are Intended for threshing should be stacked under a shed, but If necessary to btilld the rick outside. It must be protected as noted for hay. The threshing of the field pea is usu­ ally done with an ordinary grain sep­ arator fitted up especially for the pea by the substitution of blank concave teeth below the cylinder. Usually four concave teeth are sufficient to retard the passage of the.vines long enough so that the cylinder will break up the pods and release the seeds. By thus limiting the number of concave teeth and reducing the speed of the cylinder about one-half it is possible to thresh the field pea without cracking any con­ siderable percentage of the seeds. Pasturing Field Peas. < It Is a common practice In som& Io- catltles to harvest the crop ' by' pas­ turing with hogs or sheep. Many farmers, however, are discontinuing the practice of pasturing their field peas on account of waste and are har­ vesting all or part of their crop and feeding It In a feed lot A combina­ tion of pasture and dry feed has been found best. The animals after a pe­ riod of pasturing make better gains on dry feed than where given dry feed during the entire feeding period. Al­ falfa or sweet-clover pasture used in connection with field peas noticeably Increases the rapidity of gain. The field pea Is often sown In mix­ tures with small grains, primarily to hold the vines off the ground and thus make the harvesting of the crop easy. Oats are more often used for this pur­ pose than the other grains, although barley is s used to some extent and wheat in a few cases. The yield is nearly always larger when oats are used than with either barley or wheat. Mixtures are recommended in all cases where the crop Is to be used exclusive­ ly for hay. The presence of oats or barley In the pea hay makes a better quality of feed than pea hay alone: Field Peas as Silage. It is not economical to put the field pea in the silo alone, on account of its high protein content It makes a better balanced ration and keeps better when combined with small grain, which should be mixed with the peas In sowing if the crop is Intended ear peclally for ensilage. The field peas Intended for ensilage usually are planted In mixtures with bald barley and cut when the barley Is ripe. Yield nverage from eight to twelve tons to the acre. Pea ensilage has a higher feeding value thnn corn ensilage, but should be fed in connec­ tion with a grain ration. For fatten- excellent results, but t* ttK>st popular with the dairyman. One source of pea ensilage Is the refuse of pea canneries^ This material is not often placed in a regular silo, but ts stacked up green as it comes from the cannery and allowed to ferment In the stacks. Field Peas as a Areec^Manure and Cover Crop. The field pea Is well suited for use as a green-manure crop in orchards and Is used quite extensively for thif purpose In the citrus orchards of Cal­ ifornia.. No other crop except vetch Is so well adapted for this use In the southern, part of that state. When used fojr green manure the peas should not be plowed under un­ til they have reached their maximum growth, unless other conditions con­ nected with the, main .crop require that the plowing be done earlier. The most favorable time will prob­ ably be reached, about the time the first pods are well filled. The varieties selected for use as a green manure or a cover crop should be those which afe known to he adapt­ ed to the locality, dnd one with a good- sized vine is to be preferred over those that make a heavy yield of seed. The large Marrowfat peal, such as the Ca­ nadian Beauty, Arthur, Paragon, and Mackay, are well adapted for this pur­ pose, as are also the Prussian Blue and Wisconsin Blue . The use of a green-manure crop is profitable only in sections where suffi­ cient soil moisture is present to cause the quick decay of the vegetable mat­ ter turned under. BLACKLEG CAUSED BY Bred Calves Should Be Vao> ~o!nated Before It Picks Up 4j ' Little Organisms. 4 V ̂ Blackleg Is caused by a small germ, an organism about one three-thou­ sandth of an Inch long. This organism multiplies very rapidly by one organ­ ism dividing into two individuals and these again dividing In the sam^j way. Also by producing very much smaller spores or seeds. These spores are very hardy and resist extreme heat and cold, remaining alive sometimes for many years. As a consequence when a pasture, corral or feedlot Is once contaminated with the organtsm there Is no telling how long It will harbor the Infection. Plslnfecttng such prem­ ises is Impractical. Safety lies In vac­ cination. In all contagious or germ diseases the animals most likely to get sick are those whose constitution Is more or less weakened from any cause --at weaning time, after changing from poorly fed to heavy feeding or vice versa. Immunizing beforehand Insures safety. Highly bred calves are also more susceptible than scrubs. Many operators report perfect results wher they vaccinate at the same time' they brand, dehorn, or castrate. Vaccinate any time for blackleg. When a calf is turned upon Infected ground It picks up some of the spores which gain entrance to the body in various ways -- through the bruised skin, through the mouth either with animal licking itself. These spores Immediately come into active life, begin to grow and multiply, and If the the food and water or merely by the animal Is a susceptible one It con­ tracts the disease. If it is Immune the germ will have no effect whatever upon It. Therefore, Immunize the calf with a reliable vaccine before' if tricks up-49te%e organisms. » wanted me to h*v» SgflMlt OK from oceaa toooaaa; Any suffers from iaflsouoatlon, displacenMatai, ' taragutarttlM not rest unts and for roods Ptnkham Mediates Co., Lyn* DODiKS K !
