A FELLOW
. FEELING.
By tCtln-l Mason.
It had but-u quite thruj hours b)
the flock uttiougli hu Old not know
it, for Itn" lunguiiat? wus oie he illn
tot understand, Ihut Paolo huil
S1int tiigglug, pushing a'i dragging
tlu; his uo f'01" tnu 'l'y to tliu
mri'ut eortmr throe oroa-i.iga down,
end no hw was very weary. Tho
l,o k was as tall as I'aolo himself ami
fully tour times as large round, for
l)t was a little follow, uaj the box
van qulto a monster In It way. And
now It would not stir. Paolo guve
K one more mighty but ineffectual
shove, poured out a torrent of ex
cited Italian, looked autirehenslvolj
down the street, and sitting down at
lust upon the sidewalk, gave way 'a
tours of discouragement. And he
vould probably have ejr.tlnucd to
weep Indefinitely, for the Btreet
tiuchi'i It children tin Ussons of
sorrow and despnlr very early In
life, had not a hnndsomu carriage
come to a standstill at the very
corner where he sat, and a gentln
iiiaii who got out, lingered for a
moment quite unconscljos of the
presonce of Paolo, to talk with a
huly Inside.
"Well," said the gentljiuau good
humoredly, "I'll suy good-by Elslo.
The best of friends must, you know..'
i'aolo sat up and stared; and he
irw the lady press her lutlo hutnl
l urchlef ugalust her eyes.
"You don't seem to m'nd saying
ge:od-by," she suld, "I mi;,obu you
Otn't earo. Men are so lticoustaiil."
"Uh, I shouldn't say that If 1
were you," he rejoined, smiling a
little, "remembering what I fotfnd
when I came home; 1 certainly
kbuuld not say that."
"You are very cruel," she said
softly. "You know I lovol you very
much. I went without many plcua
vres for your sake. I suffered every
thing from my family and it wus
so many years " ner voice broke
vlth self-pity.
"It was a good while." he repli
ed gently, "but you knew why. If
you went without pleasures I went
without home and comfo.'s so that
fcotnu day I might get them for you.
When I came home with something
to offer you at last, I found that you
had allowed someone else to pro
vide you with these thins'4. Surely,
1 can do nothing more tauu to wish
you well and leave you."
He held out bis uand, v.nd Paolo
noticed that she just touched It
v lth ber own, and that she drove
away she was crying. Th. gentle
man stood looking after the carriage
until it wheeled around the nearest
corner. Then he turned s'cwly and
almost fell over a small figure. Pao
lo was, In fact, In the act ot picking
up a bunch of violets from the
pavement, and when he Had risen
le extended them to tho man.
"Ah!" said the mim. Absently he
thrust tho flowers into hU coat pock
et, all the time looking it Paolo.
' And what are you doing with the
box? he naked at last. v
Paolo thus recalled to his own
sorrows, relapsed into vohtnient It
alian and explained that rl family
vus In need of firewood; Lint he had
that day startod out to secure some,
unJ that falling upon this prize ho
had draped it with .uutii tdtfflculty
cs far in this. "And now,'' conclud
ed Puolo. directing a teiviHe look to
vard the rebellious box. "this pig.
this villain, will not move. And
v hlle I go for my father to help me
Stephen flozi, who Is b'xger than
1. will come and carry It off for
himself."
"I see." said the nwn, gently.
' Well. I'll help you ho:i with It
Hi) self. I've a sort of fellu feeling
lor you, you see. And If Stephano
t.oes not overcome us on the way I
dure say that between u we shall
do cry well."
An 1 so they went along, ihe stran
ger dragging tho clumsy tnlng with
u strong hand and li.: pushing
Vigorously In the rear. "If ever
jou should need help to ci'ag a box
of your own," said i'aol between
two struggling breaths, "tvli on mo.
I will help you U-cause you have
te'ped me."
"Thank you," auswerod the man,
"but I am afraid 1 ihuu't r.ave uuy
Though I have beun In trouble Just
at- you were only nobu' helped
n.e."
"Was It a box?" luqv.I.ed Paolo,
sympathetically.
"No, not a box, and yt comet h In
that I wanted very much. I worked
hard to get it, but I r.ad to go
away for a while to prepaifc a place
to keep It, and while I wa,i uway "
"While you were uway " repeat
ed Paolo looking up.
"Someone came and stole what
was mine," said the man.
"If It was Stephano,' bngitn
Paolo, fiercely, "I will follow him."
"It was certainly -lot S'ephauo,"
answered tho man smllltiR "Good
by." Dut Paolo was not satisfied
and when he had called bis father to
take charge of his booty he slipped
away and followed the ta-l figure of
the man- followed him until the
T'-r stopped them both. Then he
aw him take the crumpled violet
from his pocket and launched them
my geutiy on the water. And as
toe man s'oort wntchlna liem float
beyond his reach Paolo, with a nxw
little pain at his heart, o-ept away
na tort him alone.

A Sorting Table on Wheels.
In commercial orcharding It Is
generally most economical to have
picking and packing work going on
concurrently, says W. N. Nutt of
Maryland. This saves putting the
nppleg on the ground and having
to handle them again. A gang of
pickers will empty their picking bags
litid baskets directly onto a portable
sorting table placed between the
rows on which they are working
A HANDY SORTING TAULK.
This table is placed on low truck
wheels and has a single whlftlutree
to that a horso can movo It to any
desired point as work proceeds A
cut of this kind of sorting table Is
how In accompanying flr tre.
It should be made large enough to
told not less than two barrels of
fruit. The rear bolster Is higher
than that at the open end bo that
culls can be rolled out. A long,
neavy plank placed on the tround on
ach side of this table on which the
barrels are set for filling. The sort
ers pick the apples from the tublo
into padded wicker baskets, which
have low or folding handles, which
permit of their being placed down
into the barrel before belns dump
ed. Apples would be greatly injured if
dumpod troin the mouth to tho bot
tom ' of the barrel. The fruit Is
sorted Into two grades, ilisis and
seconds. In sarllng exclude all
fruits that are ripe, for it a fruit
Is ripe at packing time It will soon
decay and s oil Its neighbors.
fruits that are too green or poorly
colored should be left out as they uru
always of Inferior texture and flavor,
rnderslxed, diseased, wormy, bruis
ed or misshapen specimen, should of
course go as culls. Ths culls are
allowed to roll Into a pile from the
lower cud of tho grading table.
Feeding Work Tennis.
The problem of feilni; work teunis
in u way that will get tl.t largest
amount of work out or tV.:n has al
ways been a hard una. We may give
team tho best of care during .the
Bprlug months, but wh.u the real
hard work of the year on e aun,
the horses have ruu doc and are
In poor condition for if.v) work.
The lacta are we work hrse.- too
hard and they are put Into hard
service without being properly seas
oned. One of the largest users of
lor.ses In Chicago keeps his horses
at work only four hours a day. The
result Is his hors.;s are .-ilways in
the pink of condition, and they last
from eight to (en yeur. while tlio
fcverugo Ufa of the drart horse on
city streets Is four year.
One should feed to get the great
list amount of service. Corn and
cloer should now bo repiieed with
outs and timothy or other hay.
While oats are ns high as sometimes
I'm pens not many farmers will feed
tl.em. But by proper feeding of both
Hisiiis and forage, the working effi
ciency of the team will bo Increased
more than enough to make up the
difference In the price of corn and
oats.
