Sattinlay afternoon and to do! Thank> to that con fouiuled cotton iKoker. wlio couldn't I>e si.cu till Monday, he was obliged to re main in town over Sunday. Well, he might as well walk up to his hotel-a constitutional of thirty odd blocks would do him good. It was the lirst week in May, and (n local swelldom wooden boardings ■were already beginning to go up and hideous green shades were appearing down the entire length of drawing room windows. Outside the llorists' shops tissue papered pots of blossonis still remained, savoring of Kaster and April, but the doors stood open reveal ing a rich vista of bloom against back grounds of palms. Once Kennard no ticed some fashionably frocked women standing within, choosing the last of the season's violets. • "lt.ih:" he said, deliberately turning his head away and looking at the spires of St. Patrick's cathedral instead. '"Why do women ali love those foolish flowers?" Now, once there was a girl, a neigh bor of his, down on an old Mississippi plantation, whose eyes in certain lights matched the velvety heart of violets, and often enough down by the bawling little brook where the colony of violets grew he had told her so. Hut always It had been her way to shake her head with a tantalizing little smile and say: "That's because you write books and are inclined to lie poetic-;" Pretty much the saiuo answer she had given, too, that night when the mocking birds were singing in the moonlight and he had laid his love— "Hello, you!" cried some one in the brightest of voices, suddenly coming abreast of Keunard "Well, If this isn't luck! {tulcad of catching the 1 o'clock train today, as usual, I ran up town 011 an errand for my wife"— "<ih. so you have, haven't you?", drawled Kemtard, with apparent irrele yauc(v. 'f.ct'n see, sent you a wedding Kilt from London, didn't I, old man';" "A beauty, too!" ejaculated Dan Archer.

Look here, why not v*c,:ii« out with me tonight and epend SundayV It'll cheer her up, und Sunday's a beastly day in town, you kuow." Kenuard's protests that it was too nl«>Vt notice for Mrs. Archer, etc., wore not accepted, and at 5 o'clock, having spent an hour or so at Archer's club and sent a telegram as precursor, the two men took a train from Jersey City anil Hew K{«H*UIJ over tho coun fry ( iweril a particular little subur ban town. A slight drizzle had set In, uu<l the landscape wasn't especially cheerful. A suburban town on a rnluy Sunday! Good heavens, what hail lie put himself in for? lti'hlnd his paper Keunard yawiiod, recalling gloomily a multitude of jokes at the expense of Sunday sub urbanites. Besides, dear old Dan was a Benedict now. Already he fancied lie *aw the change, and they wouldn't have much opportunity to pal together. "Pshaw," he liroke out mentally, dropping his paper and looking out at I lnr whizzing telegraph poles, "another good man spoiled! Why do men want to marry, anyhow?" (Gradually, since that night down 0:1 tho old Mississippi plantation, when the mocking birds were singing In the moonlight, Keu nard had grown to disparage matri monial blessings and hail ceased lo write epitliMlainluui verses). I f<j found Mrs. Archer u gay, viva cious Utile creature, pretty with the prcttiness of u Dresden shepherdess; hut, us Inui hml Intimated, inclined to "nerves" and dependence.

For a commuter it's n relief, I can tell you, from our ordinary 7 o'clock rush ed affair#." The next morning, however, lveti tuird was up betimes. The rain ot* the night iMjfore had vanlshi-fl, save for the last Unlit shimmer of silver on the grass and under the almond hushes a droop with their slender pink branches. And such a morning— nil scintillating with olive green and gold sunshine! KelUiard stole ou tiptoe from his Close apartment, which seemed to breed all the fever driven extrava gances of au overexcited work! Into the freshness of the May air. The gar den, like the house, was obsequiously awaiting a signal to wake. The How ers seemed still motionless, holding In their perfume that a breath might not disturb tlie sleepers whom the resplel) dent rising sun itself could not attract. Mut beyond the garden, through a hedge of trees where the honeyed trickle of song came from the throats of wild bird , a path led to will* awake Ileitis and meadows. Fowl# were crowing, cackluig, gob Li ling, tabuing, lu loaUitlaul uxuber auc: calves were bounding outside the milking pen. hungrily bleating at the sight of the usurpation of their right- within: in the pictures the sheep were wr:>: :• g Indll-triously. To Kennard as lie walked along there seemed to be a vague, expectant quality in the morning. As if, he s ; iij to himself, the very freshness and grace of it all were preparing the way | for something splendidly alive and ! debonair! Ifis path suddenly merged into a lit- j tie bypath, largely screened by thick- [ cts. At tho end was a dilapidated [ summer house, fastened lietwcen three ■ trees on a bank overhanging a gnr- ' giing stream. A girlish figure was j leaning over the rickety railing, appar I ently looking at the pebbly, variegated 1 mosaic of the stream's bottom. She had thrown off her hat. and her chin was resting in the cap of her two I hands. lie could see nothing of her | profile because of the mass of dark 1 hair coiled over the back of her head. I Not wishing to intrude or disturb the girl's evident re . eric, Kennard would have retreated, but at that in stant, hearing a twig snap under his feet, she turned. She felt his Immediate recognition and calmly faced him. "I reckon you are a bit surprised," plie admitted quietly. "Well, it's the simplest sort of a story. The old estate down there yielded nothing, and for three years now I've been earning my own living. At present I am Mrs. Archer's companion." "For three years, Gwendolen?'' "Yes. You've been in England most of haven't your And you've written several mighty successful books. (,)h. I haven't lost complete track of my old friends, you see." There was still that inimitable flash of raillery iu the beautiful eyes, Ken nard noticed. And still that dear, blessed little smile. As Gwendolen's glance met the quick flame that spread across the man's opaque pupils all the playfulness went out of her own, and the spirit of thrust and parry went out of her soul. An other spirit, guarded against, often crushed our, leaped iu again. "You—you are still the same old Bob, aren't you?" said she, with adorable incoherence. But Kennard was very grave, lie was looking now where the girl had been lookiug before—at the mosaic bottom of the clear water. "Yesterday, Gwendolen," he said, "I saw some women buying violets. Ever slue© I've been haunted by the eyes of a girl I onto knew, a girl whom I've fried, oh. so vainly, to forget. IK» you remember, dear"— She made a little impulsive, forward movement, as if to stop his words. lie, seeing it, held out both his hands.

The morning air was giving Gwendo len Moore the repose and refreshment denied by a sleepless night, but withal she looked pale and a little tired. "We'll have to change ail that sort of thing, sweetheart," Kennard was saying an hour later as they sauntered happily toward the house. "And you were not at dinner last night—you were ill. Was that"— "Your telegram, sir," she broke In with mock severity, while the dimples went ritiiu;*. "Look, there are Mr. jind Mrs. Archer coming down the gar den to meet us." "Why.

CIIUSCM of Failure In Orllliiu » Slnml. DrllllUK Seed. Though of late alfalfa has IMHMI pretty thoroughly discussed, the follow lug by tin American Cultivator writer Is of interest to eastern farmers: I can thoroughly recommend It. It may almost be looked upon 11s a per manent crop, as, if desired, It will re main productive for ten or a dozen years. I know that there are some who have failed to get a full plant, but many more have succeeded, und, once It Is secured, It goes on. I consider the cause of failure, as a rule, is sow Ing It broadcast instead or drilling It In. Alfalfa may sown In wheat, barley or niitn. It should Iw drilled like clover. Home advise sowing It In rows eight or ton Inches apart, to admit of lll'' space Is-lwecn being cul tivated In years to COJJH; to kill th« wwfds, but I j refer lo sow tlio ordi nary distance and never fear weeds predominating or doing Injury, us the alfalfa grows so bixuriautly that weeds have no chance of existing or spread ing. \lfiilin Willi « luvrr. Home sow alfalfa alone, lint, on the other hand, there an- those who main tain that a mixture with white clover and orchard grass Is decidedly better. The latter, It is claimed. Is a great sup port to the alfalfa, especially In a wet season, and, while clover gives a very valuable bottom, perhaps for hay the mixture of the three tuny be is'tter than pure alfalfa; also for grazing after all cutting Is over. The clover and grass may ho nil udvairtage, though personally I have been always per fcctly satisfied with alfalfa "straight." The cost of seeding is considerably l<-*s than for permanent pasture on a three years' levy. *nr«« iiml f.urw ( ropn. Any soli that will bear a good crop of wheat will produce alfalfa perfectly, and there need l«* no hesitation In In troducing It at once in any field that has been well cultivated and Is in good heart, it is far surer than ordinary Clovers on stiff soils, and for tin- pure alfalfa crop twenty poniuls to the acre should be sown. Either wholly or with the mixture mentioned the yield should I and from tie' second or the third year two or three crops may Is- cut In one ycur. The tlrst is ready before any kind of hay, the second comes In Just before the grain and the third in the autumn. Automatic Flood (iate. Bet a heavy post deep.
