-I ...THE ORCHARD...
:
A STORY -: By Mary Lee Van Hook.
"At least we shall have apples to1
eat, Richard, It nothing else." The
old lady spoke cheerily, as, leaning
on her husband s arm, they walked
along between the trees.
"Why don't the people eat cake, If
they have no bread?" quoted the old
gentleman, a trifle bitterly. The
strain of keeping a certain secret
from his son was telling on him.
Everyone who passed the Avery
place on this particular spring re
marked the apple orchard. The out
line of the trees was completely lost
In the mass of blossoms, whose pink
and white petals fluttered here and
there, blown by the wind, like beau
tiful Insects. A marvelous fragrance
filled the air, attracting the bees from
miles around. The odd part of it
was that for years the old orchard
had borne no fruit at all, and scarcely
a blossom, and was considered worth
less except by the owners, who
counted It one of their dearest pleas
ures to walk In its seclusion, watch
the birds, whose homes were there,
or view, across the low hedge that
formed its most distant boundary, the
beauties of the western sky. This
spring there was the additional charm
of the fragrant blossoms and the
never-falling interest in the phenom
enon of their existence. It was as it
the orchard had been saving its
strength for a mighty effort, for a
grand display, to astonish the village
in the fall with a mammoth crop.
"It would be harder to give up
this place than our old home, I'm
afraid, Richard."
"Yes, but if we must, we must;
and the burdens are never too heavy,
you know, dear."
The Averys were Kentucky people,
who now for five years had lived in
the home of which the apple orchard
was a part, an old-fashioned place on
the edge of an Illinois village. Mr.
'Avery had been a minister of the
Gospel, as Indeed in a sense he yet
was, though he had no church. It
had been the old story of a demand
lor a young man. His former con
gregation had not asked him to leave,
hut the old minister, vaguely con
scious of their dissatisfaction, and
conscious, too, of his failure to hold
the interest of the younger members
of his church, had sent in the letter
of resignation. Perhaps he was some
what surprised at the promptness of
Its acceptance, at least, he was deep
ly grieved, though he strove to hide
his sorrow even from his wife. Many
loved him, many would miss him
but they let him go. The old lady
had a dash of the world in her veins
and was frankly indignant until Bhe
saw how any expression of anger hurt
cer husband. Putting aside his dls
appointment, he defended his people
and declared them right in displac
ing nim
''The church will do better without
me, Annie," he said to his wife, "and
we snail find a place elsewhere."
So she fell into his way of think
ing, and together they planned their
future. With the pride that was part
i nis southern nature, Mr. Avery re
fused any offers of help from his con
eregauon. He had saved a little
money, his wife owned a bit of prop

his father pacing the long avenue of
hard maples, back and forth, as he
thought out the details of some arti
cle he meant to write; for, fortunate
ly, he could yet do that, thought the
son, write for the religious papers.
Bo they were soon settled, and since
they were well and happy in each
other, Tom left his parents and went
back to his own busy life.
Now, almost five years had passed
away, and the Averys had become a
part of the village life. Where there
were sick there one found the old
gentleman, with hiu sweet comfort
and simple faith, or the old lady, with
her flowers or Jellies. Everyone who
new them loved and depended upon
them. They were seldom lonely, for
there were Tom's frequent letters
and his occasional visits. There were
always the beloved books, and then
the two were great companions. In
the summer there was the garden for
the old gentleman, and the great beds

"Yes, we are very proud of It."
"Should think yon might be. What
will you take for It?" with a wave
toward the orthnrd.
"Why, I hadn't thought," faltered
the old man.
"There are Hellflowers. Spy's and
russets. What do you say to a thou
sand dollars?"
The old man started, looke anx
ious and then very thoughtful.
"We would have to think and talk
It over, my wife and I; it's too much
to decide all at once."
"Very well; I must go on, but I'll
he back to-morrow at about this
time, and I'll make the same offer,
a thousand dollars cash."
When he had gone, the old people
looked at each other. Almost
stunned, they had little to say at
first.
"It's less than we paid for It, of
course, but we've had our living off
the place for five years, and I believe
we ought to sell it and live the
cheaper way."
"Yes," said the wlfo. "we must
have it arranged before Tom knows."
As Tom had often said, or thought
to himself, they had no more Idea of
business, these two old people, than
two turtle doves. The thought of
making a better bargain never oc
curred to them: they only blessed
what they thought was an opportun
ity to spare their son future worry
on their account.
It was sunset time, and as was
often their custom, the two walked
in their orchard. Straight toward
the west they made their way,
through to the low hedge, where they
paused to watch the sky. It was the
wonder of the Illinois sunset that was
reconciling Mrs. Avery to the loss of
her Kentucky hills and woods. Noth

out alone in its splendor, until it was
crossed by wide lines of dark clouds
that gradually met, and all but

only a faint, rosy glow shone through
the veil and soon It, too, was gone.

Traveling cooking schools have re

The Bavarian Farmers' Association
was the first to establish these
schools, and they chose nuns as teach'

ers and most of the other expenses,
so that the cost to the pupils Is very
small. It is said that these traveling
schools have several other advantages
besides their accessibility. The teach

of not having and never having had

founded years ago by a native Bo

in a Western city. On returning to
his native land he, assisted by his
wife, founded a club In which they
adopted certain American ideas, es
pecially in relation to women. They
called it the American-Bohemian
Woman's Club and on their death
left it a large building including all
their household furnishings, tapes

spring had come, the spring of the

summer. It was the winter they
dreaded, when their reduced income
could not possibly buy the fuel nor

season. How changed was their
peaceful life, now that their dally

should do. Many a night, too, each

To Dust a Room.
Some vomen who are housokeep- j
ers, and who claim to be adepts in
the management of a house, wonder
why they cannot get rid of the ac
cumulation of dust in their rooms.
They dust every day, they will tell
you, but there always seems to be an
ever-Increasing amount, even In the
I face of all their precautions.
The trouble is that some women do
not know how to dust properly. They
flirt a feather duster at every orna
ment and article ot furnlturo In the
room, and think they have done tho
work well. Dusting In this way
means nothing but Happing the dust
from one part of the room to another,
for nearly always It Is done with the
windows closed.
One woman has this to say about
dusting: "Throw away the feather
duster us far out ot your Bight as you
can send it and use a cheesecloth
duster that will be far more suitable
for the purpose. It should be moist
ened with water and yet have no sug
gestion of being wet; used this way.
It will gather up and hold all tho
dust and keep it from flying about
the room. Go over every bit of fur
niture lu the room, taking care to
wipe open-work carvings and out-of-the-way
places around about tho
woodwork. All small articles should
be lifted from tables and cabinets,
and the plates where they stood dust,
ed with the cloth, Instead ot wiping
around them. A good way to dust
the walls and ceilings is to cover the
head of the broom with a piece of
canton flannel, the nap side out, and
use it as a mop."
This woman has followed this
method of dusting during a long per
