LANDRY'S
LETTER *
By GRACE C. BOSTWICK
(Copyright, IWH, by Daily Story Tub. Co.)
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

) and that is the fortune that I haven's
1 been able to squander with all my idLs

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

The name stared up at us in his

USEFUL LITTLE STRUCTURE
A Combination Self-Feeder Which
Has Approval of Many Thrifty
Western Farmers.
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

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*.
