Still Bryee was not convinced, not- i withstanding the fact that he would j have staked his honor on the Judge's 1 veracity. Nobody knew better than he In what devious ways the Colonel worked, his wonders to perforin. "Well." be said, "I can name you a price. I will state frankly, however, that ! believe It to be over your bead. We have several times refused to sell to Colonel Bennington for a hundred thousand dollars." "Naturally that little dab of timber Is worth more to Bennington than to anybody else. However, my client lias given me instructions to go as high as a hundred thousand if necessary to get the property." "What?" "I said it. Cine hundred thousand dollars of the present standard weight and fineness." Judge Moore's last statement swept away Bryee's suspicions. He required now no further evidence that, regard less of the Identity of the judge's client, that client could not possildy he Col.

The Valley of the (Hants is Ids personal property, you know. He didn't include it in Ids as sets when incorporating tlx* Cardigan Itedwood Lumber company." A quarter of an hour later be re turned with the deed duly signed by John Cardigan and witnessed by Bryce; whereupon the Judge careless ly tossed ids certified check for a hun dred thousand dollars on Bryee's desk and departed whistling "Turkey in the Si raw." Bryce reached for tlie tele phone and called up Colonel Benning ton. "Bryee Cardigan speaking." be be gan, but the Colonel cut him short. "My dear, impulsive young friend," he interrupted in oleaginous tones, "how often do you have to be told that I am not quite ready to buy that quar ter-section?" "Oh." Bryce retorted, "I merely called up to tell you that every dollar and every asset you have in the world, including your heart's blood, isn't suf ficient to buy the Valley of the Giants from us now." "Kb? What's that? Why?" "Beenuse. my dear, overcautious am' thoroughly unprincipled enemy, it was sold five minutes sigo for the tidy sum of one hundred thousand dollars, and If you don't believe me, come over to my office and Til let you feast your eyes on (lie certified cheek." He could hoar n distinct gasp. After an Interval of five seconds, however, the Colonel recovered his poise. "1 congratulate you," In purred. "I sup pose I'll have to wait a little longer now, won't I? Well —patience is m\ middle name. Au revolr." The Colonel hung up. His hard face was ashen with rage, and be stared at a calendar on the wall with bis cold, phiilian stare. However, he was not without a generous stock of optimism. "Somebody has learned of the low stale of the Cardigan fortune," he mused, "and taken advantage of It to Induce the old man to sell at last They're figuring on selling to me at a neat profit. And I certainly did over play my hand lust night. However, there's nothing to do now except sit tight Hnd wait for the new owner's next move." Meanwhile. In the general office of the Cardigan Redwood Lumber com pany. joy was rampant. Bryce Cardi gan was doing a buck and wing dance around the room, while Moirn McTav- Ish. with her hack to Iter tall desk, watched him, In her eyes n tremendous Joy and n sweet, yearning glow of utloratlon that Bryce was too happy and excited to uotice. Suddenly he pntised before her "Moirn, you're n Iu -ky girl," he de clared. "I thought this morning you were going back to a kitchen In a log ging camp. It almost broke my heart to think of fate's swindling you like that." He put his arm around her and gave her a brotherly hug. "It's autumn In the woods, Moirn, and all the underbrush Is golden." She smiled, though it was winter in her heart. Continued Nex' Issue COMMON* fOI'RSK OF MARKET Keep the (iarden at Work By the exercise of care and fore thought in planning succession crops and rotations and by the utilization of every foot of suitable available space it is possible to grow consider able quantities of vegetables on lim ited areas and so supplement the fam ily food supply. The principal factors in accomplishing this are the use of seed boxes and hotbeds to give plants an early start in spring before seeds may be planted outdoors, the use of outs'de seed beds to carry plants for main-season crops while early crops are occupying the garden space and the planting of late or succession crops as soon as earlier plants have been removed. The United States Department of Agriculture believes that the home garden is just as esential this year as it was during the war years and is offering the advice of practical scien tific gardeners in helping to solve the problems of those who want to culti vate home gardens. Chief Holers Warns Citiiena of Fire Hazard. C'hlef Rogers of the local Fire Department wishes to call the atten- tion of all citizens of Olympia that the fire hazard can be reduced to the minimum by the prompt disposal of refuse. Do not permit paper, oily i rags, waste or any inflamable mater : ial to accumilate around the home, shop or any building during the warm i months to come. Spontanious combustion causes as I many fires as all other causes com bined and a little care now will save many thousands of dollars In the next few months. ■TIE WASHINGTON STANDARD. OL V.MIMA.

It is not possible to give every beautiful spot a farm house, but it is possible to give every farm house i yet to be built a beautiful spot—at , least relatively beautiful. And beauty counts. It counts in j dollars. The farm business is so closely related to the farm homo that tile efficiency of the farmer and the reputation of his farm depend large ly on the appearance of his home. Beauty counts in citizenship and tem peramental preparedness for life. Children especially are wonderfully affected for good or ill by their sur roundings. A man and woman be ginning life on the farm owe it to the children they are to bring up to give them a home located at the most at tractive spot on the farm—if attrac tiveness can be made to combine at all with convenience, and it usually can. If at all possible, say specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture, the house should be located near good trees, the shade of which may be used and enjoyed by the family every day during the sum mer. It takes so long to grow trees that those already available should be cherished and utilized to the ful lest extent. Isc Natural Attractions. Another thing that should be care fully considered is outlook. The house should he located so that the windows of the rooms used look out upon attractive views. The living room and the kitchen are entitled to first consideration in this matter. The near view should be over an un broken lawn, and there should be some object of interest beyond. If there is in the general landscape a mountain, a water view, a woodland, a meadow, an extended farm view or even a handsome tree, use it as an inspiring picture, framed by the window for the family through the years. It may mean the difference between a sordid life and an inspired life for the children who are brought up under its influence. At any rate it will mean active pleasure or quiet | consolation to the wife amid the daily cares of the household. If all j these natural objects are 'lacking, possiby some feature may be created on the place, such as an attractive group of shrubs so placed and arrang ed as to have something of interest every month in the year. Other things than beauty, of course, are to be considered in locating the farm home. The exposure is one of the most important for securing the comfort of the family. In cold coun tries the most used rooms should be placed on the side of the house where they will be protected from the win ter winds. In warm countries the most used rooms should be so located that they will get the benefit of the prevailing winds during the hottest months. The elevation should be such as to make good drainage possible. Under no circumstances should the house get the drainage from other build ings. Make liuihlings Harmonize In a hilly or mountainous country a site should be selected that will provide a little level land immediately around the house. This is necessary both for appearance and for com fort in living. The house with no ' level land around it is likely to give I the impression of being about to slide from its location. With even a little level ground it may be given the appearance of fitting snugly Into 1 the site. Only those who have lived ; in a house with a steep slope at the threshhold have a vivid realization of its many discomforts. The lawn should include as much ; space as the family can use and en joy. Five times as much ground as i is covered by the house should be j the minimum, the specialists say, thomrh times as much would be better. If the lawn must necessar ily be small, it is frequently possible : to increase the apparent size by mak -1 ing part of an adjacent pasture or other open area appear to belong with it. The barns also should be well located and of such construction that they and the house appear to belong together They should be close : enough to faciliate the work to he ! done, but not too close and not too prominent or obtrusive. They should :be so situated with respect to the house that the prevailing winds, es pecially during those seasons when i the doors and windows are likely to I be open, do not blow from the barns j toward the house. In cold climates, the barn as well as the house needs [protection from severe winter winds. The Department ef Agriculture has ■< • 1!y published ; booklet untitled L»..,utii'ying the Farmstead."
