FELT horribly sorry for Katherins I whoa Landry died. It must have | been <lll awful blow, for she seemed to ] lose every bit of her spirit and went j about pale and listless for months. You see, Landry was a fine fellow, 1 an unusual fellow. 1 don't believe there was a selfish fiber in the man's i whole make-up. lie was essentially; big-h •trted and lovable. Homely in j feature to posMve ugliness, he was still attractive in appearance. He was famous in a small way as the author of certain delicate love sketches, very tender and dainty in sentiment, and so j unlike him as to seem inconsistent < with what we knew of his character, j A right jolly good fellow, with plenty of sense and a cheerful lot of brains 1 under his sandy poll. He and Kit had been engaged for a : long lime, and I knew that lie fairly 1 worshiped her, though he was very quiet about it. I felt a mild sort of envy, for I had never plumbed the depths of love myself. I'd had my little affairs, but I always hated my self during their progress, because I couldn't really feel —I was only amused and entertained, never touched. My friendship with Kit was the one real sentiment of my life, for we had been like brother and sister for ten years Ever since she had begun to yearn for long skirts and put her pig-tails up into the crown of womanly dignity Whenever Landry was away 1 took his place at her side, and jolly good times we had, and many of them. A few months before Landry's death Kit semed to change some way. She too!; to mooning about for all the world like a disappointed lover. Lan drj too, went into the dumps. He grew thin and pale and more imper sonal than ever. He was very tender with Katherine, and so I knew that it wa no lover's quarrel that was wear ing on them. She sort of clung to him as though she felt him slipping from ber, and I've sometimes thought since that she must have had a premonition of what was coming. One morning, on my way home front an all-night vigil, old Damon lost ills head and I came a pretty cropper. It wasn't far from home, as luck would have it, and I managed to get to the house. I was pretty much used up, taking my weariness and the shaking tip together and my knees shook as if I'd been officiating at my first opera tion. Afterward, when Kit came into see me, I tried to laugh it off. and I joilied her up. "Landry 'II be good and jealous if you don't watch out,' I told her. "I believe you're in love with me, old girl." Her face flamed a sudden crim son over its old pallor, and site looked at me sharply. Then I caught her hand ami pulled her down to me. I kissed her. as I always had, and for moment she laid her face against my cheek. "What if you'd been killed?" she whispered. "What if you'd been killed ?" "You'd still have Landry," I retort ed, and Kit slapped me. It wasn't the first time by any means, for you see we'd beer, boy and girl together. I couldn't help seeing that her eyes looked funny. \ new expression. I'd never seen there before—and I won dered. It was shortly after that, poor Landry t :mie down with typhoid. It was a hard case from the start. Sometimes it gets a grip on a man am! an M. I), can see that there's no hope whatever. Thank goodness, we w?re all there with him. He wasn't alone, as he had been the greater part of his life—since he'l been a little chap, in fact. He wasn't lonely. Sometimes it seemed to me that he was happier than I had ever seen him. 1 felt that he was glad to go, and I couldn't understand it. It broke us all up, every one of us. for we loved the poor fellow. 1 found her on the veranda one eve ning, alone in the soft darkness. 1 felt a bit down myself. Things weren't going very well, ana I began to think that I was noi fitted for a profession al life after all. I felt, too sorry for my patients. I couldn't give a judicial, impersonal sympathy, as a physician nniet to be among the ranks of the Mice' fill Every death that came under my notice worked on my mind lo K'nh >1 degree that it unfitted me to < are for the living. She took my hand and held it tightly In both of her own. I felt a suddeu lightening at my heartstrings, and a ! rush of tenderness swept over me. "Lonely, old girl?" 1 asked softly. "Oh. so lonely, Freddy so lonely— you can't know,"and she drew my hand up to her face and leaned her j lips upon it. "Poor heart." I said, and I bent and J laid u gentle kiss on her forehead. She j turned her pale, luminous face up to me, wistfully, like a child, and I J kissed her warm, red mouth. Then my 1 heart began thumping like a hydraulic 1 ratn and my hands trembled Strang- - \ ly. I tried to steady them. She would 1 be so angry if she thought that 1 j dared. I had kissed Katherine nurn- I berless times, as a man may kiss his | •sister, lovingly, tenderly, but abso- j lutely without a thrill. They ha I j never been like this. I was at a loss. I had never dreamed of Katherine ex- 1 cept as my dear old friend —my man- j hood chum, and as for her —my heart j sank, for I knew she had been utterly j devoted to old Landry and mourned [ passionately for him. At, least I ! thought so. If she knew what I was i thinking she would hate me—loathe ! me, forever. If she knew—ah, if she ■ knew. She sat there dreaming, her j eyes, as I thought, on memory's dis- j | tant mountain peaks; her dear, warm, • I brown eyes that 1 loved. She turned to me with a little laugh. ' "It's so nice to be loved a little." she said, as she nestled against my j coat, as if she belonged there. I fought i with myself a moment. She must ! have felt, my heart, heating. I wa.i j ; horribly ashamed. Then I suddenly j I lost my self-control, and stooping tc- I j ward her, I took her in my arms and I kissed her passionately, many, many 1 times, passionately, eagerly, as I bail 1 never kissed anyone In my life —as i I had never wanted to kiss anyone be- j ; fore. After a time I lifted my head 112 I and waited for the storm. I knew it j must come. I felt like a whipped cur, ; : though every pulse in my body j throbbed with delight and joy. What- S ever came, I knew now. I was blind no longer. They talk of love being j blind. I say it's the other way about; ! it's love that clears our sight—so we \ can really see where we have always ' before being groping in a dim half | light. She nestled closer ,iu my arms and ' laughed a little, low laugh of content | ment. "Oil, Freddy, boy," she said, "I j thought you would never wake up. I've been sueli a long, long time wait ing to come home." I started back and faced her in amazement. "And—and Landry?" I faltered. "Oh, my dear, I never loved Lan dry." (Ah, so I knew now why h«i wa. glatl togo, poor duffer, poor, un selfi-h, loving old duffer.) "lie knew I didn't, but he —he— cared, and he knew I loved you, so he | helped me. He told me you loved me. } only you were asleep, and I've waited so long—so long for this," she sighed, happily. I looked in her eyes incredulously. "Kit. why in the name of common sense didn't you tell me?" "Tell you? Freddy, how could I? I wasn't sure you—you cared, and sometimes I was sure you didn't. It ! was only because Landry was so posi tive that 1 dared to hope. I could only wait, in silence, and since Lan dry died it has been so lonely, so drearily lonely." "Poor oltl girl," 1 said in her hair, "poor darling old girl." "You've lost a whole year," she cried, "a whole year " 1 "Then you knew a year ago?" "Yes; it's funny. Freddy, but, I couldn't imagine why no man ever moved 'me the least tiny bit. When Landry told me he cared, I tried to think I loved him, but he said then • that I didn't, and afterward, he knew it was you. He watched my eyes, he 1 said, when you were about, and when he told me that, I was as astonished as you were when 1 told you. • "When your horse threw you that [ time, then I knew beyond a doubt, for I I suffered agonies thinking what . might have happened. You were so ; ghastly that I was horribly frightened. • I felt sure that you were at least [ maimed for life.' i And then, she brought me the letter r —Landry's letter, that was not to be delivered until I had found my own Oh, that letter. If I had only seen it 1 when Landry died. Kit would not have grown pale waiting for what was al ways hers. "You confounded blind old bat," he , wrote, "what in the name of all that's I holy, do you stay around here for? If 5 I was such an egregriotis donkey as j you are I'd go off and die, but I've got . to be the one instead —and I've got. eyes to see. That's ever the way in this vale of tears. I "Well, you must know some time. It t will come to you all at once, as the , knowledge of it. came to me—then, old boy, 1 wouldn't mind being in your boots. I'd give my life for that one > hour as happily and freely as I'd tos* 1 a copper to a pickaninny. It can't b* t —so I give you my blessing and what , little I can and to your future —though. • of course, you know, I mean hers— ) and that is the fortune that I haven's 1 been able to squander with all my idLs - worthlesness. Make her happy with it, if you can, and so I shall know I have a hand in her comfort after all. "You weren't cut out for a pill- I doper, old man. Drop it. Well, so 1 long. 'Take keer of yerself,' and be , good to her to make up for your . cussed stupidity. Landry.'' The name stared up at us in his , well-known writing, ami suddenly, an 1 overpowering sense of his nearness > mastered me. Kit reached out a trem ! bling hand. I felt a shudder go over I her and a mist obscured my sight for > a moment. Then: "Yes, yes," I heard her whisper, ■ faintly, "I see you, dear, (tear Lau -1 dry."

Many claim that feeders adapted to the regular issue of grain are better for stock than the adjustable self-feed ers which place feed before the cattle at all times. Where a given ration may be fed, the cattle are allowed to eat it all out clean. Feeding steers slobber more or less in the feed, and where there is a surplus always on hand, there Is more or less wasted. Where feed U |j hd/.tC-r* j j* . . i : ♦ I jh,r<.dCcm ?

D. Gayle, in Farm and Home. SUGAR AND MOLASSES DIET Reports from Abroad Are to the Ef fect That as a Bone Strength ener It Is a Success. The use of sugar and molasses for cattle and horse fasding is gaining in popularity. Laws in many European countries have been changed exempt ing these products from taxation when they are to be used for feeding pur poses When recently in Paris, our attention was called to certain facts that may be interesting to our readers. Tho Omnibus company of the French capital owns over 10,000 horses, and as out of that number there are about 700 broken legs per annum, it was ar gued that possibly these accident 3 were in a measure due to some faulty combination of the daily rations. In 1901 the first experiments were made, the one kilogram of sour mash that had hitherto been used being sub-' etituted by an alkaline molasses com bination. The results obtained were encouraging beyond the most sanguine expectations, and in 1902 the number of broken legs was only 79. It was concluded that the extreme fragility of the animals' bony structure was due to the absence of the requisite mineral elements in their rations. There appears to be ample medical au thority for asserting that heavy con sumers of sugar, in cases of bone frac ture, will recover more rapidly than when that article of luxury Is eaten In moderation. In some hospitals, pa tients that are laid up with compound fractures of legs or arms receive in ad dition to their regular food allowance 150 grams of sugar, the cost of which Is soon covered by the lesser period needed for the complete healing of the bony tissue. —Sugar Beet Preventing Scours in Pigs. Nothing is better for preventing scours in pigs than some crushed oat and barley elop run through a screen to remove most of the hulls which should be placed in a low trough in a corner of the pen. The young pigs go for this greedily. At two months old they are ready to wean, when they should be putin two large pens, cull ing out the weaker ones aad putting them in pens made vacant by grouping three agreeable sows. Much more Slfill is required to raise young pigs in win* ter than in summer. After taking them away from their flams feed warm new tnillc for the first meal and after that warm skim milk with a good sprink ling of shorts in it, Increasing the quantity each day until about the consistency of thin porridge. A good way is to mix a quart of oil meal with each barrel of feed and have a box in the corner of each pen containing wood ashes, charcoal and a little salt and sulphur.—Rural World. GENERAL FARM NOTES. Overchurning is one cause of butter not keeping. In feeding dusty hay, shake well and dampen before feeding. See that there is sufficient shade in every pasture for the stock. A poverty-stricken cow must first of all supply the wants of her system be fore she can possibly give rich milk and plenty of it. The cheapest way to produce pork is to push the pigs from the start, anil get them ready for market at not to exceed nine months. Every careful experiment has shown that the gain is greater in proportion 'o food consumed in the young ani mal than in the older ones. Steady work of any kind Is faf t.iguing, and although the change maj aot be for lighter work, it may be re»V> ful and refreshing (or the team*.
