In the midst of springtime there ;"fime cheering newg from the old home 11 Vermont--a letter to Sarah from brother, which contained the welie promise that he was coming to Visit them and expected to be In Beardstown about the fourth of May. Samson drove across country to meet the steamer. He was at the landing when the Star of the North arrived. He saw every passenger that came •shore, and Eliphalet Biggs, leading his big bay mare, wa's one of them, but the expected visitor did not arrive. There would be DO other steamer bringing passengers from the Blast for v . • number of days. f"1' Samson went to a store and bought • new dress and sundry bits of finery for Sarah. He returned to New Salem With a heavy heart. Sarah stood in the Spen door as he drove up. • "Didn't come," he said mournfully. $,>. Without a word, Sarah followed him *^1.

He was little ... to like displays of emotion. ; < "Don't feel bad," he said. g', , *Tve given them up--I don't believe We shall ever see them again," said flarah, as they were walking toward the door. "I think I know how the 4tead feel who are so soon forgotten." , ' ^ "Ye can't -blame 'em," said Samson. * . They've probably heard about the Shjun scare and would expect to be Bhassacreed If they came." V5" Indeed the scare, now abating, had •pread through the border settlements i "V:«ad kept the people awake o' nights. Samson and other men, left In New • #&lem, had met to consider plans for * a stockade. ^ "And then there's the fever an* ' •gue," Samson" added, f-• "Sometimes I feel sorry I told 'em : Shout it, because they'll think It worse It is. But we've got to tell the ? / <ruth if It kills us." "Yes; we've got to tell the truth," ^pamson rejoined. "There'll be a railroad coming through here one of these *ays and then we can all get back flnd forth easy. If it comes it's going jp make us rich. Abe says he expects t--A within three or four years."* » Sarah had a hot supper ready for ^ Mm. As he stood warming himself bf the flre she put her arms around ® rjiin and gave him a little hug. "You poor tired man!" she said. ; V *ftow patient and how good you are J" 'There was a kind of apology for ttls moment of weakness in her look »d manner. Her face seemed to say: .. «!t's silly but I can't help It." Tve been happy all the time, for I toew you was waiting for me," Samma remarked. "I feel rich every time I think of you and the children. Say, , . i»ok here." ' He untied the bundle and put the ,#ess and finery in her lap/'"" ^ " "Well, I want to know!" she exdalmed, as she held It up to the candlelight. "That must have cost a pretty penny." "I don't care what it cost--it ain't l|alf good enough--not half," said Samson, As h« Sat'- down to his supper he f.V'ptid: • ! • ; . Baw that slaver, Biggs, get off < #ie boat with his big bay mare. There #as a darky following him with an- tv jftther horse." I "Good land!", said Sarah. "I hope *1 l»e Isn't coming here.

Their work began and ended in darkness and often their days were doubled by the burdens of the night. So In the reckoning of their time each year was more than one. Sarah went down to the village in the afternoon of the next day. When Samson came in from the fields to his supper she said "Mr. Biggs is stopping at the tavern He brought a new silk dress and some beautiful linen for Mrs. 'Kelso. He tells her that Bim has made a new man of Mm. Claims he has quit drinking and gone to work. Bim and her mother are terribly excited. He wants them to move to St. Louis and live on his big plantation in a house next to his--rent free." Samson knew, that Biggs was the type of man who weds Virtue for her dowry. "A man's Judgment ts needed there," said he. "It's a pity Jack is gone. Biggs will take that girl away with him sure as shooting if we don't look, out." "Oh, I dont believe he'd do that," said Sarah. "I hope he has turned over a new leaf and become a gentleman." "Wfe'll see," said Samson. They saw and without much delay the background of his pretensions, for one day within the week he r.nd Bim rode away and did not return. Soon a letter came from Bim to her mother, mailed at BeaMstown. It told of their marriage in that place and said that they would be starting for St. Louis in a few hours on the Star of the North. She begged the forgiveness of her parents and declared that she was very happy. "Too bad! Isn't It?" said Sarah when Mrs. Waddell, who had come out with her husband one evening to bring this news, had finished the story. "Yes, it kind o' spyles the place," said Samson. 'Tm afraid for Jack Kelso--'frald It'll bust his fiddle If it don't break his heart. His wife Is alone now. We must ask her to come, and stay with us." ' - "The Aliens have taken her ID," said Mrs. Waddell. "That's' good," said Sarah. "I'll go down there tomorrow and offer to do anything we can." When Mr. and Mrs. Waddell had gone Sarah said: "I can't help thinking of poor Harry. He was terribly In love with her." "Well, he'll have to get over It-- that's all," said Samson. "He's young and the wound will heal." It was well for Harry that he was out of the way of all this, and entered upon adventures which absorbed his thought As to what was passing with him we have conclusive evidence in two letters, one from Col. Zachary Taylor, In which he says: "Harry Needles is also recommended for the most intrepid conduct as a scout and for securing information o$ great value. Compelled to abandons his wounded horse he swam a rivep under flre and under the observation; of three of our officers, through whosq, help he got back to his command, bringing a bullet In his thigh." With no knowledge of military service and a company ^of untrained men, Abe had no chance to win laurels in the campaign. His command did not get in touch with the enemy. He had his hands full maintaining a decent regard for discipline among the raw frontiersmen of his company. When the dissatisfied volunteers were mustered out late in May, Kelso and McNeil, being sick with a stubborn fever, were declared unfit for service and sent back to New Salem as soon as they Were able to ride. Abe and Harry joined Captain lies' company of Independent Rangers and a month or so later Abe re-enlisted to serve with Captain Early, Harry being under a surgeon's care. The letter's wound was not serious and on July third'he top joined Early's command. Thl8 \»ompany was chiefly occupied In the moving of supplier and the burying of a few men who had been killed in small engagements with the enemy. It was a band of rough-looking fellows in the costume of the frontier farm and workshop--ragged, dirty and unshorn. The company was disbanded July tenth at Whitewater, Wisconsin, where, that night, the horses of Harry and Abe were stolen. From that point they< started on their long homeward tramp with a wounded sense of decency and justice. They felt that the Indians had been wronged, that ihe greed of land grabbers had brutally violated their rights. This feeling had been deepened by the aiassacre of the red women and children at Bad At. A number of mounted men went with them and gave them a ride now and then. Some of the travelers had little to eat on the journey. Both Abe and Harry suffered from hunger and sore feet before they reached Peoria, where they bought a canoe and in the morning of a bright day started down the Illinois river. They had a long day of comfort in its current with a good store of bread and butter and cold meat and pie. The prospect of being -fifty miles nearer home before nightfall lightened their hearts and they laughed freely while Abe told of his adventures In the campaign. To him it was all a wild comedy with tragic scenes dragged Into it and woefully out of place. Indeed he thought It no more like war than a pig sticking and th*t was the kind of thing he hate<}. Harry had not heard from home ^Slnce he left It Abe had had a letter from Rutledge which gave him the "I was over to Beardstown the day Kelso and McNeil got off the steimer. I brought them home with me. Kelso was bigger than his trouble. Said that the ways of youth were a part of the great plan. 'Thorns! Thorns!' he said. 'They are the teachers of wisdom and who am I that I should think myself or my daughter too good for th$ like, since it Is written that Jesus Christ did not complain of them?'" "Have you heard from hoa&l" Abe asked as they paddled dn. • ' "Not a word," said Harrjr*. -' "You're not expecting to nfefet Bim Kelso?" i "That's the best part of getting home for me," said Harry, turning with a smile.. "Let her drift for a minute," said Abe. "I've got a letter from James Rutledge that I want to read to you. There's a big lesson, In it for both of us--something to remember its long as we live." Abe read the letter. Harry sat motionless. Slowly his head bent forward until his chin touched his breast. Abe said with a tender note in his voice as he folded the letter: "This man is well along in life. He hasn't youth to lielp him as you have. See how he takes it and she's the only child he has. There are millions of pretty girls in the world for you to choose from." 'I know It, but there's only one Bim Kelso in the world," Harry answered mournfully. "She was the one I loved." Yes, but you'll find another. It looks serious, but It isn't--you're so young. Hold up your head and keep going. You'll be happy again soon." Maybe, but I don't see how," said the boy. "There are lots of things you can't see from where you are at this preset moment' There are a good many miles ahead o' you, I reckon, and one thing ible. Don't you hear it now? I never lie down in the darkness without thinking of home when I am away." "And It's hard to change your home when you're wonted to It," said Harry. "Yes, its a little like dying when you pull up the roots and mov& It's been bard on your folks." This remark brought them up to the gre^test^f^ysteries. They tramped in sitejWe for a moment Abe broke' in upon it with these words: "I reckon there must be another home somewhere to go to after we have broke the last camp here, and a. kind of a bird's compass to help usfind it. I reckon we'll hear the call ofii it as we grow older." He stopped and took off hls hat and looked up at the stars and added: "If it isn't so I don't see why the long procession of life keep# harping on this subject of home. I think I see the point of the whole thing. It isn't the place or the furniture that makes It home, but th'e love and peace that's In It. By and by our home isn't here ahy more. It has moved. Our minds begin to beat about In the undiscovered countries looking for it Somehow we got it located--each man for himself." For another space they hurried along without speaking. -.. "I tell you, Harry, whatever a large number of Intelligent folks have agreed upon for some generations Is so--If they have been allowed to do their own thinking," said Abe. "It's about the only wisdom there is." He had sounded the keynote of the new Democracy. So, under the lights ! of heaven, speaking in the silence of the night of Impenetrable mysteries, they Journeyed on toward the land of plenty. "It's as still as a graveyard," Harry whispered when they had climbed the bluff by the mill long after midnight and were near the little village. i "They're all buried In sleep," said Abe. "We'll get Rutledge out of bed. He'll give us a shakedown somewhere." His loud rap on the door of the tavern signalized more than a desire for rest in the weary travelers, for Just then a cycle of their lives had ended. Raiders try to bam out Traylor's "underground railroad station."

So they and . and Hairy and others like them, I new§ Bba'a alopnmaof fflie letter wder Hie v* of hia own ambt- Fsaidt m letter you'll see plainly, by ana by--that it's all for the best. Tve suffered a lot myself but I can see now it has been a help to me. There isn't an hour of it I'd be willing to give up." They paddled along In silence for a time. "It was my fault" said Harry presently. "I never could say the half I wanted to when she was with me. My tongue la too slow. She gave me a chance and I wasn't man enough to take it. That's all I've got to say on that subject." Some time afterward In a letter to his father the boy wrote: "I often think of that ride down the river and the way he talked to me. It was so gentle. He was a big, powerful giant of a man who weighed over two hundred pounds, all of it bone and muscle. But under his great strength was a woman's gentleness; under the dirty, ragged clothes and the rough, brown skin grimy with dust and perspiration, was one of the cleanest souls that ever came to this world. I (lpn't mean that he was like a minister. He could tell a story with pretty rough talk In it but always for a purpose. He hated dirt on the hands or on the tongue. He -oved flowers like a woman. He loved to look at the stars at night and the colors of the sunset and the morning dew on the meadows. I never saw a man so much In love with fun and beauty." Thej# reached Havana that evening and sold their canoe to a man who kept boats to rent on the river shore. They ate a hot supper at the tavern and got a ride with a farme« who was going ten miles in their direction. From his cabin some ffto hours later they set out afoot in the darknesn. "Going home is the end of all Journeys," said Abe as they tramped along. "Did it ever occur to you that evegy live creature has Its home? The fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the beasts of the tie id and forest the creepers in the grass, all go home. Most of them turn toward It when the day wanes. The call of home is the one Toice heard and respected all the way down the line of life. And, ye know, the most wonderful and mysterious thing in nature la the power that fool animals have to go home through great distances, like the turtle that swam from the Bay of Biscay to his home off Vai» Dlemaa's Land.

GREAT PROBLEM OF SCIENCE When it la Solved It May Be Believed the God of War WiU ft* . ' Dethroned. f * At present we know of Wit three possslble sources of new energy-- solar energy, the Internal heat of the' earth, and atomic disintegration, writes Floyd W. Parsons In the World's Work. The last-mentioned source of energy Is Just now attracting greatest attention. We know that the atoms of radium are In constant process of breaking up. We know that this disintegration liberates enorgy, for It has proved that the temperature of the air surrounding a piece of radium is about three degrees higher than the t|mperature beyond Its vicinity. However, scientists .have been unable to increase the flow of energy from radium by heating the metal to a temperature as high as that of the electric arc. Nor have In- / vestigators been able to slow down the disintegration of radium atoms by placing the metal in a temperature as low as that of liquid air. In other words, we are easily able to observe all of the phenomena of radio-activity and yet we cannot control this activity. That is the problem science is attempting to solve, and one day when the answer Is written, the whole course of human life will be so changed through the utilization of the new knowledge that past revolutions will appear of small consequence In comparison. When we have discovered the secret of the atom and can control its force, it is likely all nations will be ready and willing to lay down their arms and abolish their armies and navies. Statesmen will be glad to sit around a table and compromise their differences without any talk of force, for a power will be available in the world so fhlghty in its potentialities that no person would dare consider its use except for some constructive purpose. , ,, "Frankenstein.* •Tftiiikensteln" is ^a rOnrfiVi^e t>y Mrs. Shelley, wife of the distinguished poet, Percy Byssche Shelley. The hero, Frankenstein, contrives to make and animate by his intimate control of the mysteries of nature, a monster In human form, who bpcomes the constant torment of Its creator's existence. The monster was created without a soul, yet not without an Intense craving for human sympathy, and he found existence on these terms such a terrible curse that in the end he slew his maker. The story of "Frankenslein" Is said to be consciously or unconsciously an allegorical portrayal of the character of Shelley himself, who. In "Alastor," has painted himself as an Idealist Isolated from human sympathy. Helen Moore, in her life of Shelley, has a chapter on this subject Young and Beautiful* "I never try to fool my husband,* she said, and when her friend tegto tered Inquiry she added, "because try lag isn't neceasary," BOARDER SOBPLUS COCKERELS IN FLOCK W5 IP'-' • , •*/' x . *- .... ryrrr^ ~ i': ft "f:¥ •'< -;3. MOTHER Ttfc ChiMkm Women What Lydla EJPinkham's Vegetable Compomfed Did for Her - MOlstotLWis.- B word of prais I Want to give yoa for your wonderful Hen on Left With Well-Developed Abdomen Indicates She Was Laying, , ; ' While Fowl on Right Showing Hard, Contracted or Drawn-Up Abdomen, Shows She Waa layer. (Prepared ..by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Laws against vagrancy have been long on the statutes of this country. The man who won't work, who doesn't return society something for the privilege of enjoying the allaged delights of modern civilization, has to go to jail, and work on the roads or in a stone quarry for his food and bed. Man may have gained his idea for this law from the industrious honey bees. They have little use for drones. Loudest Caekler May Be Nonlayer. But a hen may go cackling around for months or years» and never lay an egg, and the owner be none the wiser unless he keeps up to modern ideas of poultry management and culls his flock t occasionally. While culling should be continuous * throughout the year in any well-conducted plant, the best time to emphasize the operation, perhaps, is during August and September, according tt> the teachings of experts of the United States Department of Agriculture. That Is to say, if you Intend to make jpst one culling In the year then August or September should be your date. It is easier then to make a 'close esthpate of the relative value of a hen as an egg producer and to weed out the poor producers. Hens which show Indications of laying or are laying and have not molted usually are the ones that have been the better layers during the entire season, and the hen that lays best during her first year usually will lay well during the second and third years. She is the hen to keep. It is not advisable, though, to keep hens of the heavier breeds, such js Plymouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, and Brahmas, beyond their second year, or of the smaller breeds, such as Leghorns and Anconas, beyond their third year, as they seldom prove profitable. ^ In addition to culling the entire flock in August and September, you should always watch for hens that are sick or very thin in flesh, or that show signs of weakness or low vitality. When discovered cull them out at once. It will pay. Keep Only Healthy Hens. Culling properly means using several tests, all fairly accurate if intelligently and carefully applied. For this reason It Is wise to send for Department Circular 31, which may be had upon application to the Division of Publications, Department of Agriculture, or enlist the help and advice of experienced persons near by. Briefly, the hens to icull are those that are sick, weak, inactive, lacking in vigor, poor eaters, with shrunken, hard, dull, or whitish-colored combs; wjtfj thick, stiff pelvic bones that are close together; small spread or distance between rear end of keel and pelvic bones; full, firm, or hard abdomen; and those that have molted or started to molt in August or September. In breeds having yellow legs and skin the discarded hens should also show yellow or medium-yellow legs, yellow beaks, and yellow skin around the vent. * The hens to be kept should be healthy, vigorous, active, good eaters, with plump, bright-red combs; large, moist vents; thin, pliable pelvic bones spread well apart; a \rtde spread between pAvic bones and rear end of keel; large, soft, pliable abdomen; and neither molted nor molting In August or September. In breeds with yellow legs and skin the hens you keep should also show pale or white legs and pale , or white beaks and vents. As soon as the culling is finished all the hens you have discarded should be marketed at once. It doesn't pay to keep one. Cock birds not wanted as breeders' should be canned, eaten, or marketed immediately. Cockerels saved for breeding should be vigorous, strong, active, and alert, and should be those that have grown most rapidly and developed the best. No bird lacking these qualities will be a gOod breeder. Pullets that are weak, undersized, and poorly developed also should be eaten, canned, or marketed, as they will not be profitable producers; but no thrifty, well-developed pullets should ever be disposed of in this way, because it is these pullets when kept for layers and breeders that will net the greatest profits. Late Molters Beat for Breeders. The molt probably Is the best and most easily applied test of production. Hens cease laying completely or ah most entirely during this period. The better producers lay late in the fall, and therefore molt late. Late molters also molt rapidly as a rule, while early molters molt slowly. Therefore the advice is to save hens which have not molted by August or are only just beginning late In September or in October, and discard those that have finished molting or ve well into the molt Hens that molt latest provided they are otheriwse desirable, are the best to save for breeders. medicine.

Experiments Conducted Different Stations Show That Pasturee Are Being Utilized to One-Half Their Capacity. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) For every 100 acres of other crops on farms in the United States, say experts of the United States Department of Agriculture, there are 91.5 acres of pasture, of which about one-third is listed as "improved pasture." Corn is the only crop that exceeds la acreage Improved pasture. Some years ago an ample series of experiments on typical blue-grass pasture was conducted by the department co-operatively with the Virginia experiment station. These experiments Showed clearly that heavy pasturing resulted In twice the returns that light pasturing as generally practiced gives. Furthermore, after heavy pasturing the pastures were in much better condition. Alternate grazing showed no advantage over continuous grazing. The results show clearly that pastures in general are being utilized only to one-half their productivity, and that this light pasturing Is to their detriment! Comparable results were later obtained in North Dakota and in Utah. The prejudice against heavy'pasturing is due partly to the desire of the farmer to avoid the possibility of a shortage of pasture and partly to the Idea that heavy pasturing Is injurious to the grass. Sacrificing half the value of the pastures is a much more costly Insurance than a reserve of hay or silage, and besides the old grass in tumid regions Is eaten by animals only to prevent starvation. Overgrazing of a creeping grass that will Injure the stand Is not possible as long as there is sufficient to fill the animals' stomachs; on bunch grasses it is quite otherwise, as thesf^^aa b» destroyed by over-grazing. : SY * •> Profit and Satisfaction; In the long run there is more profit and satisfaction In raising good live sbxJc than tm pay MM branch et agriculture.
