Then she invited him to a seat | on the porch and went about her household duties. Heretofore Florida fruits have had too short a season. The fine prices usually secured for Iate oranges and grapefruit could be had on a much larger volume of fruit than the State now markets and for a longer period. . Buckeye Nurseries have urged the planting of late varieties for many years. Many of the most prosperous growers of the State owe their success to this advice. The best late oranges and grapefruit were introduced by Buckeye Nurseries. Buckeye Nurseries Catalog Tells What to Plant Also it gives s tions for selecting location of grove and on phase of citrus fruit culture. It is a complete guide to success advice has been tried out in the experience of su ful growers, Varieties are described in detail; many of them are illustrated in natural colors. Some of the best groves of the State are pictured to show proper methods of planting, cultivation, fertilization, spraying, marketing, etc. Too expensive to permit of indiscriminate distribution, the book is free to all intending planters.

The presence of Myrtle Drake, the granddaughter of the old man, lured him to stay. He felt himself bewitched by a pleasant lasting new influence. At the end of a month Jack re- ceived his sparse wages. He calcu- lated the value of the broken eggs and sent the amount by letter to the green- grocer. He felt the better for it, an honest act, and soul elevating he found it. ! There came a letter from his uncle | shortly afterwards.

That would take him out i of the county. He had no intention of going back home. He was twenty- two, long past school days, but two ._l_ “I'm looking for a poor one,” inter | “Stranger, Aren't You?” years he had simply hung around, made a failure of everything his uncle put him at and was a sad dog general- ly and a sad failure. His impetuous freaks were always getting him into trouble. He could not resist the promptings of mischief, and these were fertile in his case. Many a bill for his reckless fun his surly sordid uncle had paid for in good Canadian coin. “I'll mend it all,” resolved Jack. “I'll strike out into new fields. Sure, I have been a disgrace to uncle and no credit to the town; so me for strange faces and a fresh start in life.” Jack trudged on the long night through, reflected and sobered down. As all nature woke up with the early dawn he seemed to feel a new life stirring within him. As he passed This shuts me out, | old farm. Mpyrtle sadly spoke of go- | ing to live with some relatives at a ! distance. Jack was uneasy, irresolute. ! He wandered about, thinking, to come across his uncle in the nearby town.! i “I've come after you,” he advised.' | “I want you to return home and settle | down respectably. I've picked out u: j Fich wife for you—" i { rupted Jack in his masterful way, and i told about Myrtle. Then the old man turned his back on him and told Jack never again to show his renegade face in his sight. Jack went back to the farm, a mighty resolve working in his mind. He found Myrtle packing up to leave. “Sit down with me,” he said, “I've a story to tell you,” and he told her all. Myrtle looked at him with wondering eyes. “You will not return to your uncle ! —to wealth, position?” she said. “Not 1,” answered Jack sturdily. “If I had my way, I would stay here : forever,” said Jack. “But that cannot | be without you. And you, who have | taught me how to be a man—would ! you think of marrying a ne'er-do-well ?” “No longer that,” she said plainly. “If you love me, Jack, I would feel it ! an honor to be your wife.” And later came love's reward, for one day passing the spot where he had first met old Abel Drake, Jack took a fancy to investigate the covered-up hole. And in it, within a leather bound box he found the fortune the had buried, and had then feared to | tell his favorite relative, Myrtle, where he had secreted it. lCRUELTY IN ANIMAL WORLD : That Sick and Ailing Are Invariably | & Put to Death by Their Comrades Is Well Known, i Many pretty tales are told in chil- ' dren’s story books regarding the kind- | ness of animals to each other, lprobably most of these are nothing | more than the products of the imagin- ation, for there is very little kindness , Shown in the animal world when one | of their number is sick. along more of a path than a road, he ' g.‘ll::tef:::’ ;r:;)e;}:; 08 sickly comrade. became conscious of the echo of a | ¥ accounts for the a‘::::gh fr:::;l;nge ::::e;n ol man bird or animal, for immediately one standing in the center of a uttle'::l]::eds'zt i;e";m‘l‘z"}:“f}? death, and coasll:. hand was on one hip, as if to ' The'weaknng d“‘gg‘ngo‘:afl a herd dug up a fow shovels full o earth ang 68T O the latter being revesied Yo a his strength had failed him. “I can't do it!"” he groaned in a whining tone,” I can't risk asking the crew about me to help me. What shall I do?” Always ready and accommodating, Jack brushed past the hedge. “Hello, old man,” he hailed briskly. “What's the trouble now?” The old man started and stared. He looked suspicious and embarrassed. “Nothing,” he replied dublously. “Stranger, aren't you?” “In these parts, yes,” said Jack. “You see,” the selfish faced old man remarked, “I want to dig a hole to bury a pet dog of mine. Getting old, ah, me! too old to work.” “Let me help you.” So Jack went hastily at work. He dug the hole as ordered. “What shall I pay you? inquired his companion. “Why, nothing,’ replied Jack. you could give me work, though—" “Eh?” retorted the other, calculat- ingly studying Jack. “Would you work cheap?” “For anything to keep out of mis- chief, yes,” declared Jack. “All right,” sald the old man. “Keep down the road till you come to the first house. I live there. I'm Abel Drake. You wait till I come and I'll “pp set you at work. I've left my dog back | in the woods, but I'll attend to him my- self.” “I see,” modded Jack, thinking all this passing strange, but following or- ders. He came to a small starved looking common foe, Nor are tame animals and birds less guilty in this respect. Healthy birds in an aviary win bully an ail- ing bird shamefully. A sickly hen in a poultry yard has a miserable time, and even cats which have been' brought up together will “round on” ; one of thelr number if it falls sick. i No satisfactory explanation has yet | been given to account for this deplor- | able characteristic in birds and ani- | mals. It has been suggested that they | | are governed by that apparently cruy ! law, “the survival of the flttest%" . | More lkely is it that instinct guides them in this respect, for the good of | | the race, so that sickly young may not be reared from sickly parents or maybe a limited food supply renders lthe removal of the useless desirable. e S A | Better Excuse Than Some Lawyers, | On the first day of enrollment at ' the University of Kansas a freshman happened to get the wrong blank. / He wanted to enroll in the college and | filled out a blank for the law school.
