For the Last Time, t
BY JUDITH
"For the last time," Geoffrey said
to himself, as with varying emotions
lie stepped Into the phaeton and Rent
ed himself beside the smiling girl who
was to drive him into the station for
the early morning train. And he was
simply echoing her words of the night
before.
"All ready. Alice." he said lightly.
80 Allre flicked tho pony with her
whip and they were on their way.
It was a glorious summer morning:
od Geoffrey and Alice apparently en
Joyed the drlvo even though the con
ditions now were Irrevocably changed.
Yesterday afternoon sho had met him
at the train and they had driven back
together an engaged pair. But since
then their engagement had been ended
by mutual connent. and this morning
found them merely frlenda.
Geoffrey Maltland and Alice Wright
bad known each other all their live,
arid had been engaged to one another
off and on for years,
Their firit engagement, while he was
still In college and she Jtmt out of
school, was broken by Alice In a fit of
childish Jealousy because he had gone
on a picnic and had had a good time
with the other glrla. though she hud
been unexpectedly kept at home. But
after a few weeks' Interval and a due
show of penitence on his part, she had
forgiven him and taken him back Into
favor.
The next break orcurred soon after
Geoffrey's graduation. His father had
set him up in business and he wanted
to be married at once. But Alice had
met her heart upon ppending the sum
mer abroad, and when Geoffrey unrea
sonably declared that she must marry
tlm now or never, Alice returned her
ling.
But the Bummer did not prove ai
Tleasant as she had anticipated, and
ahe was 'honestly glud to see Geoffrey
waiting on the dock when the vessel
reached Its New Yo. k pier. He had a
big bunch of roses for her and when
she discovered her engagement ring
tied clumsily amonir the stems she
laughed and blushed and slipped It on
again.
That had occurred three years be
fore the present time, and since then
Ccoffrey had had the grace to be pa
tient, to say the least
Indeed, he could rot well be other
wise than patient, for his first busi
ness venture had not been a succeaa,
and soon be found himself in no posi
tion to marry.
Fortunately, the failure which had
at one time seemed inevitable had
been averted, and presently the tide
of his fortune turned.
But when Geoffrey was once more
fa a position to think of marriage he
bad mado the startling discovery that
during all this time his tastes had
been developing in one direction and
Alice's in quite another, and that now
they were no longer as congenial as
they had been.
He was a born athlete, a lover of
all outdoor sportB, .md Just at present
pott engroHRed most of his leisure time.
But Alice cared nothing for Bports of
any kind, and sho was so entirely
wrapped up In her Working Girls' Va
cation eluba and College Settlements
aad all sorts of charitable scheme
that Geoffrey was bored to death in
bearing of them.
Who possibly could have foreseen
as Alice would all of a sudden have
taken such a serious turn?
Geoffrey had thought very oftn
about all this lately, and sometimes
ad wondered If it wmilri Tint. hn hAt-
tor for them both to separate In time,
rather than to marry and go on grow
ing apart and be mlsorable for life. It
bad been the subject uppermost in his
mind when he had arrived the ufter
soon before, and It haf been a relief
as well aa a surprise to him when Alice
bad frankly broached the subject.
They talked It all over together then,
reasonably discussing their vary In?
tastes, their chances for future un
bappincss, and In conclusion had
calmly agreed that It would be better
Infinitely better to put an end to
the engagrmect now, with no feeling
bat one of perfect friendliness and
good xlll oa cither side.
lhit we mum remember," AMce had
added with a sudden anxious pucker
ing of her brows, "that this decision
Is final. Our engagement has been off
and on bo many times that even the
Tossiblilty of another change would
be to Introduce an element of humor,
te which I seriously object We have
carefully considered everything now,
aad have arrived at this decision for
the last time." And Geoffrey had giv
es his assent.
The only thing he had felt really
vacant foruble about was that Alice
bad tnalHted upon giving back her
ring. He wanted her to keep It "for
frtendahip's sake," but she had posi
tively refused.
, No, Geoffrey." she said,, "it is my
clearest wlnh thst you should Boon
snake another and a happier choice,
and It will be a satisfaction to me to
feel that your wife though she may
sot know of my existence will wear
aad prise this beautiful pure gem. As
far myself." she added, "you know I
mm sot fond of jewnlry, and I should
surer wear It .now that Its significance
Is cone."
"Aad yon. too, will soon make an
1 other and a bappier choice, I hope,'
be bad said to her afterwards.
But Alice bad smilingly replied.
"That Is possible, though hardly prob
ata. 1 Intend to devote myself entire
ly to trying to help and to improve
f&o usndJtiba o these poor,, ignorant
i
RFEKCF.R.
working girls who Interest mo so deep
ly. That Is to be my life work, and
I shall hardly find time or Inclination
to think of anything else."
And now tho moment for their part
ing had come. The train was at the
station, and Geoffrey, who had been
standing by the phaeton chatting with
Alice, extended his hand and said
"Goodby." And as his eyes met hers
so friendly, but unembarrassed he
suddenly added almost mechanically,
"Fo the Inst time."
"No, don't soy that," Alice sold has
tily. "My friends are always wel
come. Run down any time If you
ran stand the chance of seeing half a
dozen working girls enjoying their va
cation, for I expect to keep the house
full of them all summer."
A word of thanks as he lifted his hat,
then he Jumped aboard the already
moving train and soon settled him
self for the hour's rldo back to town,
Geoffrey had been In his office lesi
than an hour when the door burst
open and Dick Williams, who lived In
the little town from which Geoffrey
had Just come, came hurrying in. He
was evidently very much excited.
"Say, old man, you haven't heard
anything yet, have you?" Williams
questioned breathlessly.
"Anything about what?" Geoffrey
asked calmly. "Oh, you poor fellow,
I see you haven't. How shall I tell
you. Maltland, old man, you must
brace up and prepare yourself for tho
worst."
"Hang It all, what are you driving
at?" asked Geoffrey.
"I have Just come in from Elmcourt,"'
Williams said significantly.
"Have you?" said Geoffrey pleasant
ly. "So have I only I took the 8.10
train."
"You did? I hadn't heard of that
though I remember now they did say
she had driven some one over to tho
nation and was on her way home. It
must have happened almost directly
afterwards "
"She?" cried Geoffrey, now beginning
to feel a strange alarm. "What has
happened? Tell me quick"
"The very worst; prepare yourself,
my dear fellow. It was over instantly
she wos killed."
"Who?" gasped Geoffrey in a strange
choked voice, grasping at the frail
straw, of some possible mistake.
"Your own Miss Wright," said Wil
liams pityingly. "I knew you'd be
dreadfully cut up, you were so fond
of one another and had been engaged
so long."
The little ring In Geoffrey's breast
pocket seemed suddenly to pierce him
like a knife. Oh, that it had never left
her hand.
"What happened?" he asked again
hoarsely.
"She was driving home, they told
me, and on the road she was overtaken
by one of those Infernal locomobiles.
Her horse took fright and bolted, she
was thrown out neck broken picked
l:p dead."
Geoffrey sprang up and the expres
nlon on his face made the other man
suddenly fear that life was going mad.
He stood staring blankly at the office
clock.
"If you want to go out there on the
coon train I'll arrange to go with you,"
Williams said kindly.
"I'm goln on the 10.35 "
"But, my dear fellow, you can't pos
siblyyou've only seven minutes "
He ended abruptly when ho found
himself talking to the empty air, for
Geoffrey had seized his hat and was
gone.
Out into the crowded street rushed
Geoffrey, and never In old college days
when he was in training did he run as
he ran now. Broadway was at Its
worst a confuBlon of rapidly moving
cars, carts and carriages but Geoffrey
stopped for none of them. He dashed
tinder the heads of horses and ran be
tween cablo cars, escaping so narrow
ly that tiio grlpman yelled at him In
a sudden chill, but he plunged on and
gained the opposite side unscathed.
Some pne humorously raised the crly
"Stop thief!" but no one attempted t
follow and none could have caught or
held him had they tried. On and ou
he ran until the ferry house was
reached, but just the fraction of a sec
ond late.
The gates' were already closed and
the boat was just starting from the
slip. Geoffrey dashed past the man
who was closing the wagon entrance
and rushed out to the end of the dock.
Two working girls in tho waiting
room, who on their way to Miss
Wright's had Just lost the boat, took
him for a would-be suicide and
shrieked aloud.
Geoffrey gathered himself for a
rprtng and shot far out In a wild en
deavor yet to catch the boat. But he
was breathless now, and the space was
widening with every instant He felt
himself falling short, but with a des
perate effort he clutched at the boat's
deck and clung there until two men
dragged him up, swearing roundly at
him the while.
Panting and overwrought, Geoffrey
ventured Into neither cabin who
knew who might be there to recog
nize and speak to him? So he stood
in a narrow space between the vehi
cles, breathing hard, and with his hat
pulled low over bis eyes to hide the
slow tears which now and then coursed
down his cheeks.
On the train be sought the smoking
car, where be pretended to fall asleep.
He was sorry now that be had
jumped so welt If only be had fallen
abort of the boat altogether and bad
been drowned before they could get
been the most fitting ending. But
since he was still alive, If he could
only get the ring back upon Alice's
poor dead hand before it should be no
ticed that It was gone, then no one
need ever know that even before death
came to separate them they had bid
one another goodby for the Inst time.
The train stopped at Elmcourt and
Geoffrey, more than ever dreading rec
ognltlon, cast a swift glance about
him for some vehicle to carry htm to
the house.
And there, right before his eyes and
Jiitit as he had left her not yet four
hours ago, he saw Alice In her phaeton.
He thought it some mad delusion
of his brain. He passed his hand across
his eyes and looked again, but the vis
Ion still was there. She was bending
forward, looking eagerly for those
working girls who had failed to come,
and he saw a shade of ulsappolntment
overspread her face. Then she spied
htm, and her expression changed to
one of bewilderment and then anxi
ety. He staggered forward to the phae
ton and grasped her nrm. 'Alice! is It
really and are you alive?"
"Geoffrey! what obsurd questions!
you certainly are crazy, or you are 111!
Come, get right In every one Is star
ing at you."
He scrambled Into the phaeton, still
holding her fast, and Alice drove
swiftly up the road.
"What's the matter?" sho asked anx
iously. "What brings you back this
way? I'm sure you must lie 111!"
"Williams came to my office and told
me you were dead," Geoffrey said
slowly. "Some horrid accident and I
I came back "
"Oh," sold Alice, "I begin to under
stand. Well, what you heard was
partly right, only it waon't I. It hap
pened to Miss White; you didn't know
her, a middle-aged woman who lived
above us on the hill Evidently your
friend mistook the names, White for
Wright. Her horse bolted and she
wasn't much of a driver, poor thing
she turned him against a stone wall
and was Instantly killed. But please
aon't hold my arm so tight, Geoffrey;
It hurts, and really 1 cannot drive."
Then only did he become conscious
of the tightness of his grasp upon her,
and he released her with a confused
apology and a forced effort to laugh.
But Instead of laughter came a sud
den sob, and burying his face In his
hands Geoffrey broke down and wep
like a child.
With an exclamation of dismay
Alice turned off from the road Into a
quiet woodland lane.
But after a few moments Geoffrey
recovered himself and begged her par
don for the exhibition he had made of
himself, adding with a really cheerful
grin, "By Jove, did you ever see such a
fool as I've been making of myself;
but I couldn thelp It. Fancy finding
you alive and well, after I'd been think
ing of you as ugh!"
"And you cared for me like that,"
Alice said, marveling.
"I didn't know It till I thought that
you' were gone," he admitted rueful
ly. "And then; well, I simply couldn't
stand it, that's all. Alice, it's no use;
you must consider things a bit Can't
you make up your mind to put up with
me? I know you don't think much of
me any more, and I don't pretend to
care for all those things you're Inter
ested In. But then you are so aw
fully good and patient with all those
foolish atd ignorant poor people, anl
after all I can't be any more uncongen
ial to you than they must be and so
oh, hang It, Alice, can't you be an
angel und put up with me again 'un
til death us do part' in awful, bitter
earnest?"
"But, Geoffrey," raid Alice, "you
don't seem to remember that last night
when we decided to end our engage
ment wo agreed that this was for the
laBt time?" Yet there was a strange
little gleam of a smile In her eyes as
she said It
"Eut that was before you had died
and I had gone Into oblivion," Geof
frey said penitently. "And besides, it
sha.ll be the very Inst time it ever is
ended, I can promise you that Alice,
here's your ring, let trie put It on again.
Oh, If you could know the depth of
my misery when I thought of you as
dead and your ting in my pocket bor
ing into my heart like a knife. I know
you can't care much for such a fellow
as I, but you sold you probably would
never marry any one else, and I am
Just absolutely certain that I can't
live without you."
"You poor, dear boy." Alice said ten
derly, as she held out her hand for him
to slip on the sparkling ring. "What
will you say, then, when I tell you
that I love you more than ever and
tho most difficult word I ever spoko
was this morning when I bid you good
by?" He stared at her incredulously. "But
then I don't understand ; why did you
" he stammered.
"Because well, I really thought that
you no longer cared for me," she con
fessed blushing. "And I thought you
would be happier If you were perfect
ly free to choose again."
"And I have chosen again!" cried
Geoffrey, folding her In hlu arms. "I
have choeen again and It is for the
latt time, and, Alice, my choice la
you." Ladles' World.

Spraying rotntoea Kirertnnl.
The effect of spraying potatoes for
blight and rot has been strikingly
shown by results obtained at the Ver
mont experiment station this year.
This station Insists that proper spray
ing, backed up by proper cultivation
will protect the potato crop from theso
diseases and continual experiments
and field trinls covering a period of 10
years have proved this beyond a doubt
The potato yield at the station during
tho latter part of September when
most vines were dead and many fields
already dug, were as green and grow
ing as at any time dr.rlng July or Au
gust, and It is claimed that they were
mnking potatoes at the rate of 25 to
30 bushels per week for each acre.
M'lient unit Corn notations.
Rotation of crops should Includit
some mode of clearing the land of
weeds. Wheat and clover, followed
by corn, clean the hind, rrovided tho
corn crop receives thorough cultiva
tion, but many weeds come up In the
cornfield after the corn is "laid by,"
and It is not unusual for crab grass
to then take possession of the field.
Corn should be followed by another
hoe crop, such as potatoes, cabbage?,
turnips or carrots, and at no period
(luring the growing reason should the
land be allowed to grow weeds, as a
late crop of sweet corn, to be UBed as
fodder, may be grown nnd cut at any
stage of growth. The system of rota
tion should be governed by the condi
tion of the land and the value of the
crops In market. No grain crop, how
ever, should follow nnother. If It can
be avoided, but If two grain crops are
produced In two reasons the third crop
thou Id be clover or the land made to
produce green manurlal crons for turn

Inlry Accounting,
On most farms the keeping of any
real system of accounts Is an unknown
thing, and even on the great majority
of farms It Is but a nominal practice,
usually confined to a mere cash account
of receipts nnd disbursements. It Is
true that the averago farmer Is not
naturally an accountant, and this Is
In no wise said disparagingly, for nei
ther would the average accountant
make a good farmer. Every man to
bis trade as the saying goes. Yet on
almost every farm some member of the
family could easily lie Impressed Into
the service of keeping the accounts
and records.
In no branch Is this so Important ns
dairying. The modern dairy cow Is a
complicated machine, perhaps a Email
one if she be a Jersey. Into her goes
feed of various kinds and all sorts of
balanced rations, or In Eoino cases, pos
sibly very unbalanced rations. Out -l
her comes milk. On top of the 'milk
comes cream. Out of the cream conies
butter. And often the sklmmllk rocs
Into a heifer calf, which Is the future
dairy cow. Here is a complicated pro
cess of manufacture. Here are chances
for profit and loss nil along the lino.
It offerB possibilities in accounting to
ret one of the mathematicians at n
great pork-packing establishment diz
zy. How many dairymen can tell how
many pounds of milk each cow gives,
tho percentage of butter fat In each
cow'b milk, and thu average for the
herd, how many pounds of butter to
each hundred pounds of milk, how
much It coata to make a pound of but
ter and a few things like that? Yet
this Is Just what many up-to-date dai
rymen know to a nicety. A scale, a
Babcock test, a lead pencil and a little
brains are the chief requisites.
If you knew all this, some cows
would be found eating their heads off,
some giving little milk would yet run
high In butter fat and vice versa.
I Herd registers should be carefully
kept. These can be purchased In con
venient form to keen nil the Informa
tion which one needs regarding each
individual.
There aro possibilities In dairy ac
counting merely hlntd at In this brief
article. If yuu connot start on an elab
orate system all at once begin to keep
a few careful, systematic records. Do
some weighing, test jour milk, fall to

' Mignonette for Winter Flowe'tni.
Reseda odorata, or, as commonly
railed, mignonctto, t such an ordinary
plant and flowers, as usually seen
growing In most gardens In summer,
that few attempt it more than onro.
Like everything else In gardening,
however,, if first-class flowers are de
sired, it mtiBt be properly worked for
and have the right treatment to be suc
cessful. For summer flowering, the first sow
ing of seeds should he 111 n do In small
pots about the beginning of March, and
kept In the house until, ray, April 1,1,
At this time the small plants may be
pricked out out of doors, and
at the same " time ' sow In
open ground for succession, and
continue once a month until Au
gust, which will bo Into enough for
outdoor growing. This last sowing
will have to be covered with ashes on
the approach of cold weather, nnd may
be depended upon until the crop In the
greenhouse Is ready. Kfcp well cnltl
vated, find If green worms are trouble-
rome, spray with parls green.
For winter growing I prefer raised
benches to solid ones, having tried both
methods. The principal reaRon Is that
one has better control of the moisture
needed, and also of feeding with liquid
manure. A somewhat light soil Is pre
ferable to a heavy one; that taken from
the rose benches of the previous sea-
Ron, mixed with well rotted manure In
Die proportion of one part manure l
rotir of soli, will be found to give good
results.
When the benches are ready nnd
filled with about six Inches of soil,
sow the seeds about the middle of Au
gust lit drills about 10 inches apart,
and thin the plants to the same dis
tance. Keep the soil moderntely moist
at nil times, going over the bench fre
quently to loosen Its surface. As soon
as the flowers appear, the tide shoots
f-hould be removed, In order to throw
nil the Btrength of the plants Into the
main stems, but lenve a few near the
roots for future growth. At this fe
lloe! feeding with liquid manure should
begin, nt first rather weak, and subse
quently Increasing the strength. This
rlioiild be continued as long a cutting
the flowers Is kept up. and usually will
give a good supply until we begin again
to cut from those growing out of doors.
Staking must be ullendcd to at the
rroper time, or the Power rplkes will
soon bend down and become crooked
and unsightly. For this purpose noth
ing will be found better than snin'.l
pea biif.hes. with occasionally a slntrlo
stake, as may he needed, for the
stronger ones.
Mignonette may be grown In the
same house with other flowering plants
or vegetables. The temperature may
ranpe at night from 42 degrees to 50
degrees, with 10 degrees to 15 degrees
more In the daytime, nnd ventilated ac
cording to the weather. L. A. Martin.

ltrttttclnrr Poll l.iiml.
The plowing of sod land should he
done In the fall, an l the land well re
duced in the spring with a disc harrow.
In all sod land there exists many cut
worms, ns the conditions are favorable
for them, but the full plowing exposes
many of them to moisture and cold.
I.lmo has been found excellent In tho
fall on sod land, and, with the as
sistance of the frost (the alternate
freezing nnd thawing of the land), the
lime largely aids In bringing the soil
Into proper condition for corn in the
spring. All rolls that have been In
grass should be followed with corn af
ter the grars In order to insure good
cultivation, but when lime Is used the
clods and lumps will break more easily.
Sod Innds should be rich In humus
owing to the shading received by tho
soil, hence the use of nitrogen fertilizer
Is not so necessary as potash and phos
phates. Any soil will Improve when
n good sod Is formed, and a pood sod
makes abundant parturage, but when
such lands are constantly grazed by
live stock they will lose fertility unless
manure or fertilizers are applied. One
of the best mineral substances to ap
ply Is lime, as the results from Its use
aro lasting If the farm Is then proper
ly managed.
The action rf lime Is Eometlmes slow
hence the results from Its use may not
be apparent for a year or more, but
nearly nil soils are benefited by tho
application of lime when the rolls ore
somewhat acid. This is especially tho
case when green manurlal crops are
grown and plowed under. The. bacte
ria of the soil can only perforin the
duties desired when the soil is rather
alkaline, the condition for converting
decomposing vegetable nnd animal
matter Into ammonia or nitrates by the
bacteria depending Inrgely upon tho
amount of mineral matter present.
Clover la benefited by lime and potash
because the soil is rendered alkaline,
though both lime and potash are also
Plant foods. There Is sometimes an
excess of carbonic acid In the soil, gen
erated by decomposition of vegetable
matter, nnd lime neutralizes the add.
The use of lime also changes the physi
cal character of soils, both clay and
randy lands being benefited, Ume gives
good results on limestone soils the
lime existing therein is In the form of
carbonate of lime, and Is consequently
not capable of exerting any muterlal
chemical effect, hut when the limestone
Is burnt It Is changed from a carbonate
of lime to quicklime. Moisture then
causes tho qtticKllme to becomo hy
drate of lime, and until It again be
comes carbonate of lime (whlcn hap
pens later, ufter being applied on the
land) it Is In an alkaline caustic condi
tion and also caustic. The soil of
limestone regions Is the same as the
limestone rock to a large extent, and
tho action of air slaked lime (quick
lime) on limestone soils Is as potent
as on many soils that contain no Ume.
As Ume will cause exhaustion of the
soil if used alone, and the land cropped
every year, yet It proves highly bene
ficial when manure, green material or
fertilizers are applied. Lime Is not
strictly what Is termed a fertilizer,
though It is a Biibstanco found in the
structure of every plaut, but It serves
to hasten the chemical actlou of other
organic and inorganic materials ex
isting in soils and thereby prepares the
plant foods for better assimilation of
plants, thus being a useful and Indis
pensable assistant on nearly all farm.

Guarding a Tunnel.
Should Italy and Switzerland fall
out what would happen to Simplon tun
nel? The opening on either side will
look like the great doors of some
medieval fortress, says an English
magazine. And they will be fortresses
In all reality. Suppose tnese two btl
llgerants shuuM fall out. They would
rush like a w.iopplng plague through
that tunnel a:.d invade each other?
Indeed they wjuld not. In the little
fortress at cat a end there will be a
man and a b.itton. Tho man will
press the button and bring down the
mountain. Wbcin the smoke lifts tnere
will not be any tunnel any more. Some
6,0t)0 or 6,000 men will have worked
eight and day for five years and a
half at a cost of 70,000,000 francs
and destruction.
