Chapman.) Harry Lawson sighed and, pushing back the half-finished letter, looked drearily out of the hotel window. A carriage was driving up to the door. The sun was shining, the trees and shrubs looked their best that bright July day. And the letter was to his fiancee, May Denton. He sighed again. They had been engaged nearly a year, and during that time there had been ample opportunity for his passion to cool. He had been a young man of many sweethearts, and he had seen many new faces since the engagement. There seemed no chance of marriage for months to come. And he had come to the con clusion that it was all a ghastly mis take. She had ceased to show interest in him. Her kisses were perfunctory. Her letters already had the manner of the matron. All the romance, which had made her seem the most wonderful girl in the world, had gone out of their lives. Yet he told himself that he was not to blame. He had loved her devoted ly for months. It was the discovery that the freshness was worn off the engagement that started him thinking. And nowhe did not know what to write about. He had gone off to the little hotel for a three days' holiday without tell ing her of his plan. He wanted to' think over the situation. Business cares were thickening around him, and he felt the necessity of a change of scene, of being alone even for the Looking After Them. week-end. Then, when he had made his decision, he would take up the bur den of life again. Of course it was unthinkable that he should Jilt her. Such an idea had never entered his mind. But if she, too, had ceased to care for himif he could come to that conclusion He had hinted at it in his let ter, and he had been trying to form it t.o that he should not hurt her feelings. He would have given any thing to have discovered the state of May's feeliiigs. Suddenly he sat motionless, listen ing with amazement to two voices be neath the window. One of them sounded like May's. At last he rose and looked cautiously out. One of two women who had seated them selves on the porch beneath, was May the other was her friend Julia San dow, whom Harry knew slightly, and had always vaguely disliked. He had felt that Julia had taken an antipathy toward him. He had wondered wheth er she had anything to do with the change in May. They had evidently just arrived, for the carriage that had brought them was driving away empty. As the young man waited he heard May speak again, and he could neither help overhearing nor move from his posi tion. They were speaking about him. "But you love him, May," said Julia. "Yes, I love him," answered the girL "I have never ceased to love him. I am not of that nature. But hehe does not care for me any more. That is what is breaking my heart." "You are mistaken, dear. How do you know? Business men have so many worries, and they can't always keep to the rapture of the engage- ment," "I know, butit isn't that. At least, it's more than tnat, Julia," said the girl, half sobbing. "You know, when we were first engaged I was happier than I had ever been in my life before. He was my ideal of a man so fine in every way. And it med wonder ful to me that Harry could love me. And for months we were very happy. But then he began to grow cool, and I Just know that he is tired of me. He nww tells rns things now, aa he IjifPPW,, W^V'nT^fWi^ THE TOMAHAWK, WHITE EARTH, MINN. used to do And it on.y U,L sua II should break tho engagement But I am not sure. "More than once I have started to write him a letter, releasing him, and thenthen I have torn it up because I didn't know. How can I know? He is too honorable ever to tell me if be has ceased to care for me. How can I know?" "I- don't believe that he has ceased to care," said Julia. "Now listen to me, dear. There is all the difference in the world between being engaged and being married. When you are en gaged the whole world seems new. Everything is wonderful. You think you are going to live in a paradise. But that isn't what counts at all. How many married couples do you know who live in that state of rapture?" "But Harry and I were going to ba different," sobbed the girl. "{Jo everyone thinks, but afterward you understand your mistake. It is the building up of the life together that counts, my dear. I know that. And long engagements are a mistake. You have simply come to take each other for granted, that's all. When you are married your real happiness will begin." "Oh, do you believe that, dear?" asked May. "I am sure of it," said Julia. "You and Harry ought to marry at once and then you will understand. I knoM he cares for you, and it is possible that he, too, has felt something of the same thing. That is the whole trouble. Well, I suppose we musf have lunch if we are to catch the early train back." They went into the hotel, whil* Harry waited above. So the girls had only come over for the day! They would not look at the hotel register of course. Still, fca feared detection they could no| but know that he had eavesdropped. He waited till they came out and stood on the porch together. Evident ly Julia's conversation had raised May's spirits, for she looked less un happy but she was still a pathetic lit tie figure as she stood there. "Come, dear, let us be going," said Julia. Harry watched the two women walk down the path toward the station. And, looking after them, suddenly he felt the fog lift from his heart. Julia, with her woman's intuition, had guessed rightly. Of course he loved May, and had never ceased to love her. It was the past, the other faces he had seen, that had lifted them selves like ghosts between them. And he had not understood. He saw now that it is only by faith and loyalty that love endures. Love must be grappled and held. Every thing that he had attributed to May, the coldness, the weariness, was noth ing but the reflection of his own inner heart. He saw her again as she had been on that wonderful day when she had promised to become his wife. And his own heart was singing with happiness. He went downstairs and told the landlord that he was return ing. When he got back to the city ho found that his business troubles had had the same interpretation. Noth ing was wrong. A man is as he think eth. He had thought wrongin every way he had thought wrongly he near ly lost the hand of happiness out stretched to him. It was with a beating heart that he walked up the road toward his fiancee's house on the next day. But it was with a heart steeled against its weaknesses. He knew its strength beyond all doubt, its power to hold. And, even as he held May in his arms he saw her troubled face clear and grow radiant. There was a new warmth in her kisses. She clung lov ingly to him, and was again his sweet heart of old. "Harry, do you really love me?" she whispered. He smiled at the question. "Well enough to ask you when you are go ing to make me nappier still." he an swered. Seize the Leisure Moment.

The average Amer ican man is supposed to have no time for these things. He has time, but he refuses to turn it into leisureleisure which means contemplation and thoughtfulnessalthough he very like ly knows that this has been accom plished over and over again by men who have saved out of a busy life for that purpose an hour or two of every day. One recalls Darwin's pa thetic statement wherein he describes his early love for poetry and music, and the final complete loss of those faculties through neglect. "The loss of these tastes," he says, "is a loss of happiness, and may possibly be in jurious to the intellect, and more probably to the mor I character by en feebling th- emotional part of our na ture."Thomas Whitney Surette, 4r the Atlantic.

As befits the modes for youthful wearers, suits made for her are less elaborate than those designed for her older sis ters, but they have decorations enough to be interesting. Coats in these silk models are made in a great diversity of styles, but all of them may be classed as short. Skirts are not as full as those made for indoor wear, and depend for em bellishment upon bands of tucks rath er than draperies. Colors are attrac tive, with fairly light shades of green and blue, as well as lighter tans and grays, much in evidence. An old fashion which has been re vived appears in the full quillings of box-plaited silk with "pinked" edges that are used for trimming both skirts and coats. These quillings help out in achieving the popular flare at the hottipm of coats and in supplying tliO banded effects and horizontal lines that place the otherwise plain skirts in the mode. A very pretty example of the taffeta suit, as developed for a miss in the Among tailored hats the always pop alar black has more to recommend it this season than it can usually claim. It takes high art and fine materials, as a rule, to save the black hat from being commonplace. But the present season has developed a fad for ius trous surfaces, almost everything in millinery is shiny, and black is're deemed from its somberness by its brilliance. In bats, and in many of their trim mings, a black lacquer or varnish cov ers the shape and the wings or foliage that so often trim it. Even ribbons have a polished surface made by some method of treating them, and in black they are designated as "stove polish" ribbons This matter-of-fact name is accurately descriptive of them. In keeping with the shining surfaces of things there is a corresponding finish In workmanship, characteristic of the hats of today. Perhaps these things account for the advance in prices, which the public appears to have met with great cheerfulness. Two brimmed bats and a turban, in the picture, all boast a measure of the luster and trim finish that is demand-' ed in street hats. The turban is made of satin straw braid sewed over a frame and trimmed with narrow taille ribbon a~d silk-fiber ornaments that loufe 'ike teat*era Both braid M, .wmfiflfi Group of Modish Black Hats neighborhood of seventeen years, it shown here. It is simple enough to be made at home, and an ambitious girl may even undertake it for herself, by the aid of a pattern. The skirt is plain except for three tucks between the waist and knees, and is cut to Hare with most of its fullness at the sidea and in the back It is shoe top length and has a three-inch hem. There is a girdle of taffeta made of a wide bias piece at the waist, to be worn over the plain narrow belt that supports the skirt. The straight little coat is set on to a small yoke. It is ornamented with a group of four tucks, near the bot tom, also. The sleeves are cut to widen toward the hands. In many suits the widened sleeve is finished with a border of velvet, but in this model the fullness of the sleeve is confined near the hand by rows of shirrings. The shirrings form a cuff, which is headed by a band of velvet. The neck is finished with a Uaring collar and a tie of tbe silk. A cojlar of scalloped organdie overlays the Mlk one, both of them opening in a small at the front and wired to stand up at the back. and ornaments have the sheen of silk in a rich and perfect black. At the left of the group a graceful and smart pressed shape has a surface ps shiny as satin. There are two band/) about the crown, one of velvet and the other of stove-polish ribbon, finished with small flat bows.

Off of 65 acres, oats and wheat, I got over 2,500 bushels of wheat and oats. Oats went here from 60 to 100 bushels per acre, and wheat from 25 to .52 per acre.

One neighbor b^ad over 1,200 bushels of wheat, and sold over $700 of hogs and 2,000 bushels of oats. This is a great country. If you should tell the people of Toledo of this it would get some of them thinking. The soil is a rich black loam, and a pleas ure to work It. "We have a good farm. We have a flowing well with soft water. It is the best water in the country. Some people think they got to go to war when they come out here. They need not be afraid of war.
