J. Walsh. > ROSY WADE gat at one end of the old-fashioned sofa and Edward Baxter sat at the other. There was fully three feet of space between them. They were silent. Indeed, there was no sound in the room save the ticking of the ugly black-al)d-£©l(l clock on llie ui-.ntelplece. Rosy was a small woman of forty. She had dark hair, dark eyes, and she wore a black dress primly neat and 'plain. Her only ornament was a wedding ting, somewhat worn, on her left hand. Edward was tali, v^ith sandy hair, blue eye* and a kind, shy, gentle face. Now and then he cleared his throat, knotted his hands afresh and glanced at Rosy. But Rosy with unfixed gaze stared upward at the large Crayon portrait on |be wall before her. The portrait was that ef her dead husband, and between nature and the artist's lack of skill no uglier faca. could be Imagined. Rosy had been sixteen when she married Rufus Wade, a man twenty-live years her senior. He had died" within the year of Ipneumonia and for 23 long years Rosy had humbly pi warned for him. Besides feeling an intense gratitude toward Rufus for his having rescued her from a perfect termagant of a stepmother she regarded him with a romantic sentimentality that the years could not efface. And so while her patient Adorer waited for some expression from her she fixed her mind on Rufus and her eyes on his portrait Kdwnrd Baxter was a very lovable 80£t of a man, one whom three or four women strongly courted. But he had some six years before set his heart on little Rosy. Perhaps her very indifference won him for he had been well sought "after. Edward was playing a waiting game. Every Sunday night he spent at Rosjr's In the hope that she would show some sign other than that of toleration. He couldn't give her up ao long as she would permit him to ti© her. \ Tonight he was desperate, The tfght of his love sitting there gazing at old Rufus* ugly countenance tilled him with impatience. He knew a lot about Rufus that Rosy did not know, and if he had been some men he would have shattered her delusion wen at the risk of losing her forever, trat that would hurt her, and Edward could not have borne to see one hair of her head ruffled. "Well;" he said with a sigh, looking - at his watch, "It's about tins I went home." Rosy turned toward him. •: . _ ' " '"i made a chocolate csW yesterday," she said. "Let me get you a piece." She arose to leave the room, when Edward arose, too. He caught her hand. "Why. Edward!" she gasped, astonished at this unusual demonstration- He stood looking at her in a fixed, pale silence, trying to arrange words to speak. And she looked up at him. startled, aware of the stress of his bearing. And tbqn suddenly hl» voice came In " a burst of expression. The slow-thlnkftig, patient, eternally enduring Ed- • ward loosed the longing, the agony, of fels being. "Rosy," he said, "I can't stand this any longer. Either you're going to tSarry me before a week is over or-- fm going away where I'll never see you again." "Oh, you do^'t mean that?" she quavered. "I do mean It Either you marry me next Thursday morning or I leave. It's up to you." He dropped her hand, caught up his * hat and was gone, with a gretft sound «f heavy footsteps and a slanuned door. White, stricken, Rosy gazed In his direction. Then she sank down upon the floor and hugged her knees and moaned. She had received her ultimatum. There was no escape from It Either gh» must marry Edward next Thursf--<| ay morning or lose him forever. Staring up at Rufus' grim visage she rocked her small body and wept. She had not believed In a widow s marrying a second time, but of course, •he bad also not believed that any man could get Into her life and persist on staying as had Edward Baxter. If he went %*ray could she bear it? She covered her face with her hands, visualizing all those Sunday nights when he had come. She had grown to look for him, to expect him, to want him. He was dear to her, dearer than Rufus had ever been; she admitted '> *ft with shame to herself. Rufus had ; Seen kind and good, but Edward was wore than that Oh, If It were not for her silently sworn fealty to her dead husband! If only there were some way in which she could have Edward without tampering with her loyalty to Rufue! After a while she arose and went upstairs to the room that had been ltufufe'. In It and the closet adjoining were ail his things--his clothes as he had left them hanging, carefully * preserved from moth. In the desk were his personal papers. She turned on the light and began to rummage among those relics of the past, trying to create a fresh lmpres- Hon' of her husband, trying to get ttomethlng to hold to which would perhaps stiffen her resolution. Among jRufus' private papers she hoped to ftad what she was looking for. Ho had kept every latter, every account was everywhere visible. Wherf he died Rosy had gone over these papers hastily and cursorily, looking for his will, which had been easily found. In It he had left everything to her. But now in a bundle of old letters carefully banded she found a paper she had not seen before. She opened It, glanced at It, shuddered. It was written In Rufus' own hand and contained what was at once a confession and an apology. Rosy remembered that Rufus had asked for paper and pencil and that he had written something, on his sickbed. Ho mupt have got out of bed and hidden it away. In her bereavement she had lever thought of it from that day to tms. And now here was the message scribbled so long ago. In it Rufus laid bare certain facts of his life. He had not left it for somebody else to tell her; he had told her himself. Reading those painfully scribbled lines Rosy met with that absolution of spirit which sometimes comes to the troubled one. Rufus had been a mere erring man; beside him Edward Baxter loomed like a hero. And, in spite •f her disappointment, she felt a growing thrill of satisfaction. It was past midnight when Rosy left Rufus' chamber and went to her own. She had closed the door on a host of retarding emotions. But she could not sleep. She lay awake until daylight thinking over the two things that had happened to her--the love of Edward and the honesty of Rufus. At seven o'clock she went downstairs to the telephone abd called a number. . Edward answered Immediately. x 'Edward," she could scarcely manage her voice. "This Is Rosy. Edward, I--you mustn't go away." Edward's voice boomed Joyously loud through the telephone that It nearly deafened her. >• "Rosyit said. "I'm coming over--• I shall run all the way."

It's a plaguelike disease of rodents transmissable to man. It was originally discovered in ground squirrels in California in the year 1910. Jack rabbits, cottontails and snowshoe hares suffer from the tularemia and may transmit the disease to man. Deer flies and ticks also are known to carry the germ from animal to animal and to man. „ Here are the symptoms of tularemia in wild rabbits.

If the birds are healthy and all other conditions are correct, there Is no reason why they shouidjnot be removed to the laying houses Just as soon as they reach maturity. Flocks hatched in March or earlier are ready for the permanent quarters after midsummer. If we leave them on the range too long, they will start laying, and the result Is that a later removal to the laying house will stop production or slow it up. One of the surest ways to bring on a premature molt Is the removal of gullets, already laying; to new quarters. We naturally expect pullets, which start production In the summer, to have a late molt, but It Is a serious matter when this molt comes on two months before we ought to expect It *1 believe we should hatch the pullets at a time that will bring them to maturity at just the time we want them to start laying, says a writer In the Indiana Farmers' Guide. At any rate, the mature birds should not be left on the range after they are ready to start laying. Leghorns, and other egg breeds, should be Teadf for housing at Ave months of age, while the large breeds need another month to reach maturity. It is a good plan to start feeding the egg ma,sli at about the time the birds reach maturity. We should not feed too heavily of egg-making mash until they are mature. It Is £ mistake to force early production at the expense of size. Immature pullets lay small eggs and that Is not a desirable condition. . Clean up the houses and be ready for the pullets just as early as you begin to find eggs about the range. House them at this time and von will find It will make a good deal of difference in the production Of the flock during the fall and winter. Small Town Dweller's Rulet for Hap pinem Tale bearing and scandal mongerlng are two of the siirest paths to unhappin «ss to the person living in a small U>wn, in the opinion of one small-town woiQian philosopher and another who\ha8 spent her entire life in such a locality. Outlining ten recipes for happiness In the small town, Mrs. Dorothy Walworth Carman of Maplewood, N. J., writing In the American Magazine, considers a sense of humor the most important reqairement if the smhlltown dweller la to know happiness. "A sense of humor will keep the little events which crowd in on a small-town dweller from seeming calamitous,'* says Mrs. Carman. "Your day will not be completely ruined because the neighbor's dog tracked up your newly washed porch. Humor is more than a nice thing to have around the hobse. There Is a ministry about it" Among other requirements for smalltown happiness Mrs. Carman lists tolerance, kindliness, human interest, discretion, neighbor!iness, contentment, magnanimity, modesty and interest in work. "Bear no grudge, If you want to be happy in a. small town," Mrs. Carman warns. "Be slow to take offense. Overlook much. And when It come;? your turn to forgive, be a good forgiver." Another fortunate quality for the small-town dweller, says Mrs. Carman, is the possession of a hobby, which, she believes, keeps people absorbed and makes them forget to be touchy."

Supply Needed Minerals to Aid Egg Production It has been estimated that the .shell »f an average egg Is 8 per cent of the iegg, and that a hen with a yearly production of 180 eggs requires 1.6 pounds of minerals to cover her egg production, besides what she needs In the line of mineral matter for the upkeep •»f her own body. It Is the lack of this mineral matter that causes a hen to start the egg-eating, or the featherpicking habits. Both of these vices are due to a large extent to a deficiency in the ration of some element that the fowls are craving. Keeping oyster shell before the liens continually helps to supply minerals to It considerable extent. Fresh bones run through a bone grinder supply much needed elements. In some towns bones may be obtained from the local butcher shops. In Ohie a good formula for supplying the mineral matter to the hens' ration has been worked out. This consists of 00 per cent finely ground hone meal, 20 per cent finely ground limestone and 20 per cent salt. This Is thoroughly mixed, and 4 per cent Is added to the mash In place of meat scraps. If less tlian 10 per cent of meat Scraps is used both the mineral ration and the meat scraps may be Included In the mash. be responsible, but It that the farm barn, long the moat J carefully buj'/ structure on the American farm, today Is of uo more Importance than the house.
