P.lfMvr Older the big oak by the fifteenth :ee .Mr. Arthur Oleiiih-nning won slt ting nt his ease. He wns some ten strokes behind his oppom lit. Colonel Bogey, but this did not bother liim in the least. Homey not being one of those jlaycrs who tack their score cards in conspicuous plucvs on the clubhouse bulletin board iitul mention their vic tories to every oiii'lhey UK'et. Nor w as Arthur nnuoyeil by the fact that a bun cry bunker hail shallowed up Ids ball indeed, he hoped that his caddy's search for It wutilil go unrewarded yet n while, for it was restful here, nnd. Incidentally, there was a rather allur ing picture in the Held Just across the leaf-strewn road that ran by the oak. The picture was that of a girl framed In red clover. It was a moving picture, too: that Is. the girl was moving, gath ering a big bunch of clover blossoms. Itestlng against the fence Arthur no ticed a bicycle. "Tliftt girl Is not a slave to fads, any how." he commented, lazily, to himself, "or Kile would have Riven up the wheel for ping-pong. The fact that she Is out here alone Indicates that she posseses Independence and a mlud of her what! She's looking at that cow as If she were afraid of Itl" If Arthur's imagination had been vivid enough to have viewed the cow us the girl viewed It. he would not have been so surprised that the beast should lie causing her to show trepidation. A few minutes before, wlru she was sur mounting tlie difficulty of the fence In quest of the clover she had assured herself thr.t she "v.isn't a hit afraid of that cow, and. as a mailer of fact, she had felt brave until til cow had sud denly vaisod Its head from the grass and began to stare. Stares are always disconcerting-. Perhaps the cow re garded her as an cuoiny browsing upon lis clover, perhaps s;s a friend wiih a handful of sail. At any rate, it gazed nt her fixedly for a moment, and then took two stops in her direction. The girl retreated two slops, returning the cow's sta:x haughtily. Suddenly tlie latter Deemed to nic.ke up its mind, and began to f.dv;u:eo in a business-like way, witli long, swinging strides. A delicate, silvery shriek pie.'c-.d Hi1 nfternoon a!'.', and th (light and i i suit i.egan. In running ability thev Were quite evenly matched. The girl neareil th fence she gained It she t--gan to cllmli. It was a most nlhiring picture, nnd Arthur (Jlcndennlng suc cumbed to a great teiiiptaiion. Ho had ills weaknesses. One of them had to do with cameras. The pretty views on tlie Ferndalo links are so ninny that In this match witli Colonel P.ogey he had dlrei trd his caddy to bring the in strument niong. At this instant it lay at his side. He seized It, leveled it: lis eye winked once. Then he dropped It hastily behind a log. nnd was across the road, all solicitude, just as the fu gitive fell, a po!piii;ting heap, on the grass on the safe side of the fence. "Are you hurt?" he Inquired, anx iously. "No. no. thank you," she panted, "but that that terrible cow!" Arthur glanced In th? direction (if i'ic row. It did not have a very terrible aspect, bur rather an expression of mild surprise, and even injury, ns If it were exclaiming to Itself: "Dear me. how very disappointing.' Where's my nail?" "Let me assist you to your feet." said Arthur. In his best manner, bending over her. She did not move, but ex claimed, distressed!: "Oil, dear, the feuo has torn my skirt! You haven't such a things as a piu or two, have you?" There ws a beseeching note In her voice, nnd tlie young man would have given much to have been able to have produced a pin, but it was Impossible. He felt of his clothing hopelessly: he gazed out over tlie sweeping green of the links, up at Ike trees, up ut tlie canopy of the heavens, hut he saw no pin. The caddy's curly head Just then ap peared over the edge of the hunker. "Here, caddy," shouted Arthur, "run over to the clubhouse and get Home pins, safety pins, uny kind. And get nil they've got In tlu place. Run! But don't run v.) fast." he added, "as tu Injure your health." for the girl Willi !h: pink glowing beneath t ho while of her rounded cheeks, with tlie brilliancy of excitement still In her eyes, and wlih wayward curlett.s straggling from out of her mass or ,JI;ht hair, wus certainly a picture even more of a picture than she had seemed to Arthur from a distance nnd he was too appreciative of the artistic to he willing that such a picture Bhould past quickly from his view. "May I sjit down here on the grass and condole, with you until the arrival of the of the cadjy?" asked Arthur. "I presume you may nil on the grass. I don't own ll, you know." The acidity of thlx reply was tempered by a flitting shadow of a smile. "At nil events," answered Arthur, sitting down, "you took rather quick possession of a bit of It just now. But It wus really very iud of that row to disturb you. I can't tell you how gurry I am." A pair of goft yet penetrating eyeg were studying the young roan.

" Arthur could no longer restrain tlie hilarity that had ben welling up be neath a very thin veneer of polite so licitude. Tin y laughed together. "But I must have done with this lev ity." cried Arthur, suddenly. "I ilnist be up and doing. My lady's hut and (lowers still lie within the domain of the fell beast. I must recover them nt all hazards. I must face this boast, or else, 'od's boddiklns. I were unworthy the name of knight!" He approached the fence, leaped over and In a moment was bowing low In tlie act of laying the trophies at the lady's feet. "Marry, now, but you are. forsooth, a brave knight." she laughed. "Ah, lady, my life were but a slight saerltloe In your service, but were I to crave a boon of you I would plead that you take from the. heap one small red clover blossom and pin It in my buttonhole with your own fair hauds." She laughed again. "Methinks you are a bold knight, too. But for the sake of the dangers you have passed I will decorate you. Sir Arthur when the plus arrive." The young man came very near los ing his knightly pose. "How under tlie sun do you happen to know my nanco?" he was about to Inquire, but he perceived, before it was too late, that she had lilt upon the name inno cently, as the usual name for knights. "May I be allowed to express a sus picion of you?" he asked. "I hope I am not a suspicious per son," she'answered, "but what Is It?" "Only that you have been rending historical novels." ."Worse than that. But It seems to mo that your mind also Is steeped In romantic." "It Is. I've just finished being thrilled by Miss Mary Malvern's book. 'A Court Cavalier.' The celebrated Miss Mal vern Is sojourning for the summer In this vicinity, you know." "Y'-s. I know," said the girl, hastily, "and what do you think of her book?" "Well." replied Arthur, slowly and judicially. "It Is not bad. not half bad. Of course, mom of the situations are Impossible, and most of the characters lutve no counterpart in the heavens c!:uvo, i:or th' earth beneath, nor the waiers tinder the earth, but on the whole (lie story's clever." She smoothed a wrinkle In her skirt, i hen asked slowly: "Io you really think there Is any thing clever In it? What, for In stance?" Arthur liked this deference to his lit erary judgment, and lie continued, complacently: "Well, In the first place. It Is clever because it was written by so very young a person. They say she Is only about twenty or twenty-one. As a mat ter of fact, however. I suppose she Is r aer thirty. And If she is as young as is reported. I think her mother ought to have looked after her better, because she seems to have had an amazing amount of cxperi 'iiio in af fairs of the heart. One cannot write of tlie.se things as rt allstlcally as she docs without an Intimate knowledge of them. While many of the situations are highly Improbable, as I have said, some of the love scenes are life Itself. I verily believe 'that only a veteran co quette could have d 'scribed ns Mary Malvern does the manner In which FJ vira lends the gallants on and then Hunts them. Yet there Is a distinct del icacy and charm about It nil. This Miss Malvern must be n most Interest ing girl. I would give n good deal to meet her. I m you know. I thought several times when I was reading the book that I could fall In love with n girl with a mind like hers.' I think we would bo very sympathetic nnd conge nial." "Not really!" exclaimed the girl on the grass. Her lips and eyes were smiling. She seemed to be tnklug Im mense interest lit his conversation, and this encouraged Arthur to go on. "Yes. really. And another thing I like about her Is he:- ferocity. Why, when she gets a couple of swushbuek lers together In n dark alley In old I,ou- dou she write about the encounter so that you can fairly hear their hard breathing in the struggle. She enjoys It herself. I'll venture to guess that Miss .Malvern has plmiv of grit, and would stand her ground In the face of danger." "You don't think she Is nfrald of cows, then?" From under her eye lashes the girl on tho grass glanced up at him with a qulzsslcul look of inquiry. uii, l beg your pardon," laughed ArtRur; "I wasn't thinking of compari sons. To he nfrald of cows Is perhaps more charming than not to be afrnld of them. But, referring again to Miss Malvern, do you suppose she will marry, and become more or less com monplace It's nn effect matrimony has, you know or do you Imagine she'll re. uinln true to literature? Tell me. Just for the sake of discussion, whut you tulnk the probabilities are. As. a worn an, you can, of course, weigh them bet ter than I can." ''Well, I dou't know." said the girl. thoughtfully. 'I don't believe that marriage need be commonplace, nnd but here come the pins." Arthur followed her glnnce, nnd snv with displeasure that the pins were. In deed, arriving. He tittered silent male dictions upon the enddy'g short, sturdy logs that were coiningover the green so rapidly and conscientiously. He bttsjed himself with the young woman's bicycle when she was closing the-rent made by the fence rail, nnd when he had reluctantly led the machine out Into tho road becnuse she said she posi tively must -bp going he remarked, as suming again his knightly tone: "If my lady should chance to pns this way on the morrow at the same hour, she will find a knight to tilt a lance In her protection, If need be, against the cow. or any othor peril." "Tho knight has been very kind," she smilingly replied, "nnd I thank him and I will say that I have enjoyed his conversation more than he can Imag ine, but I could not ask him to risk his life again for me." "Hut Is he not to hnv a name to dream on, nor any hope of the future?" "lie should lie full of hope for thf future." she cnlled back, after she hnd mounted, "and ns for the name, 'thf lady of th" red clover' should be a good name to dream on." Arthur watched her till her figure grew small on the road and disap peared around a turn. That night In his dark room he rocked a photo graphic plate to and fin In the develop ing llulil wiih gcut care and much anxiety, and felt the amateur's glow of enthusiasm In triple quantity when the picture began to take distinct form be ileal li his eyes. First there was a bit of road, then th- grass, then the fence, and, finally, rising In triumph on the uppermost rails, the lady of the red clover, while behind her peered the mildly surprised face of a cow and nn expanse of Held. "It Is n very well-balanced picture; the composition Is nearly perfect," murmured Arthur, the amateur photo grapher, as he bent over the plate. "She's a stunning looking girl," mur mured Arthur, the young man. ns ho held the plate to the light. After ex pending much time nnd labor on the prints ho framed one of the best of them nnd gave It the place of honor among the divinities on his mantel piece. "And here's the picture of the girl," he remarked to Boh Wilton a night or two afterward, as he finished the reci tal of his Interesting experience. Bob glanced at the photograph. "Wh at!" he cried, bursting Into a groat laugh. "My dear fellow, pre pare yourself to boar up lonentli a blow. This lady of the red clover, with whom yon talked about Misp Mary Malvern, nnd with 'whom you tried to make an appointment for the next nfternoon, Is no less n personage than Miss Mary Malvern herself." Boh lost no opportunity to tell the story nt the golf clubhouse. It very speedily reached the drawing rooms, and one morning Arthur received a faintly perfumed letter on a delicately tinted blue paper. Its contents were as follows: "My Dear Sir It soems that the knight Is a very modern kind of knight, who, when he Is succoring hulk's in dis tress, takes snapshots of them. Was the deed quite knightly? Since the lady of the red clover has no desire to remain perpetually In distress on a fence, she must ask that the prints he surrendered to her nnd that the plate be destroyed. Very trulv vours. "MABY MALVERN. 'P. S. Since the knight's net of de ception has made his "trustworthiness ippear to be a somewhat uncertain piant Ity. the lady considers It n wise precaution to be a spectator to tho de struction of the plate. She will be nt tlie golf clubhouse, with a mutual friend, to-morrow nfternoon nt 4 o'clock." "But why." nV.:cd Arthur, In a tone of mock complaint, "did you allow me to go on so foolishly about Miss Mal vern and her book?" "Oil. I was not responsible," laughed Miss Malvern. "It was fate, who hail witnessed the snapshot, helping me to get eveu." "Well, then." said Arthur, "we start fair. Will you drive tlrst?" "No; I prefer that you be iu the lead There may be a cow on the course, you know." Nw York Times. A 1'oppy Collar. A SHinr! touch this season Is a poppy collar which a certain New York girl recently designed in an emergency, when a somewhat worn bodh e was iu sore need of being brightened up a bit. It was made not of lace or ribbon, llkt the usual collar, but of small, exqui sitely shaded green leaves. They are artlllcial leaves of silk, such us the Inst milliners use, and were mounted on green c hifTon, which formed a stock stiffened here nnd there by silk cov ered ftiitheiiione. At the back came th dash of color a cluster of small brilliant, red poppies. They were fas tened to the collar, standing up very straight and showing their stems in stead of being grouped to form a chou. One o" two of the popples were? tnllei than the others, aud reached well nr. Into the hair. As poppy red was thin youtig woman's particular color, the color proved most becoming, nnd govt the waist with which It wail worn a surprising new charm. Womnn'l Home Companion.

This was when the band was so tight ened that the straightening of the traces gave the horses the benefit of I heir own weight. With loose band, allowing the traces to rise naturally, each horse drew 300 pounds less. These horses were both well shod. Another horse of about the same ap parent strength ns these, but unshod, could only draw !"3 pounds with a tight band.

Failing to get all the buttermilk out causes butter to become rancid soon. To obtain the best results In churn ing tho cream should be only slightly sour. One advantage I:i brine salting is that It almost entirely avoids streaked or mottled butter. The milk should always be skimmed while sweet and the cream then al lowed to turn slightly sour. In winter the cream should he wanned up to about sixty-six degrees before putting hi the churn. Sometimes butter has white specks distributed through it. This Is caused by over-sourness in the cream. Iu butter making, next to controlling the temperature, Is to churn often, while the cream Is in good condition.

It (here Is one breed that may be depend ed upon to yield more of such horses than another then thnt breed would be adjudged to be the best of the two.

Tho Uto of Llm on Rolli. rrobnbly more genernl misunder standing prevails regarding the use of lime ou soils than any other mineral element which we apply. A good ninny still seem to believe thnt lime Is a mn nure, nnd thnt Its application takes the place of nearly nil other fertilizers. The best way to dispel this error la to state at the outset that lime is not a manure or fertilizer, and where so used a se rious mistake Is mnde. Lime put on poor soils Is generally a waste of time nnd good material. It never yet im proved poor soil unless the land was sour or overfed with humus which it could not well digest. On rich soil, however, lime has nn important function to perform, and it can be made to do it with great suc cess. Lime Is more like a disinfectant than anything else. One should apply It to the soli much ns a man would take some nntl-hlllous medicine. When the soil Is In danger of getting congested nnd heavy with too much plant food a, dressing of lime might well be applied to help It. Consequently, we find the use of lime In connection with clover excellent. Clover crops add a grout deal of material to the soil, and some times there Is so much In tho land thaf lime Is essential to help its digestion. As a dressing on clover, lime pro duces the best results, especially where the clover has had a heavy stand for two or more seasons. Land that Is foil heavily every year with barnyard or green manure will be helped by a dressing of lime. Sometimes the soil is so rich, but congested with unasslml luted food, that a dressing of lime for one season without any fertilizer Is the best thing for It. Because of succ ess ful work in this way some have appar ently got the notion that lime Is a good fertilizer. J'.ut It Is not, and would not have worked so wc.dl on nny other soil that was not rich In manure to begin wllh. S. W. Chambers, In American Cultivator. An Kxcnllont Corn Crib.
