THE DEAD LINE.
Continued from page 3.
" Certainly." said Mrs. Euble,
"Please be seated; he will be here in a
very few minutes.
just then Lena entered the room,
looking somewhat haggard.
"Miss Chipperwell, said Mrs. Ruble,
"this young lady is Mr. Cotterell's
only sister. She is anxious to see her
brother, but I am compelled to seem
cruel and to refuse. These are friends
who came with her."
When Mason and Mrs. Delorme ar
rived, Kate and Lena were locked in
each other's arms. Mason introduced
Mrs. Delorme to his father and his
mother.
"Marshall! Is it possible?"
"Yes, Hallie, it is I at last."
And brother and sister, parted by a
father's avarice and pride of caste,
met for the first time since their youth
ful days. Mrs. Mason was presented
to the sister-in-law she had never met
before; then, turning toward Kate,
Overton said:
"Hallie, this is Mr. Cotterell's sis
ter." "Mr. Cotterell's sister? What an ac
cumulation of pleasures I am having!
You have not seen your brother, I pre
sume, Miss Cotterell?"
"I hope I shall do so soon. We are
waiting for the physician. My brother
has often spoken of you in his letters,
so that I seem to be quite well ac
quainted." "And I know I shall love you dearly.
You and Lena are already friends I
see," and, smiling, she took each of
them by the hand.
"You will all stop at my house while
you remain in Graham? You can do
no good remaining here, even could
Mrs. Ruble lodge so many. Lena, your
father and the Major left to-day to be
gone some days; so I am all alone, but
for Marshall. I shall have to call you
something else now, Marshall, or 1
shall get you and brother Marshall con
fused." "Call me Overton," said the brother.
"That is one of my names."
"So it is. That will do."
The surgeon came. le was told that
Kate was his patient's sister. Kate
looked at him anxiously, and he was
struck dumb with the dazzling beauty
of this "face with a soul in ft," as he
afterwards described it.
"Please tell mo quickly is my
brother going to die V" exclaimed Kate,
misinterpreting his silence. "Can 1
not sec him right away? It is so awful
to be kept from him this way when he
needs me so much," she continued
tearfully.

The World's Columbian Exposition
though now only a glorious memory has
left lasting monuments behind. For
generations to come its impartial awards
will be the basis of determining the com
parative merit of the things judged.
Few.if any, of thousands cf exhibitors
at the fair were more highly honored
than William Deering & Co., of Chicago,
the world's largest manufacturers of har
vesting machinery. Of the total num
ber of twenty-six awards given to the
seventeen exhibitors of harvesting
machinery and binder twine, this
firm was given sixteen awards,
sixteen medals und sixteen diplomas.
The other ten awards were distributed
among four other exhibitors, the highest
of these receiving six awards, another
two and two others one each.
This supremacy waa given to the
Deering maohines simply because the
outclassed all competitors in -their rec
ords of draft and efficiency as tested in
competitive field trials.
Deering machines were given exact
ing official field trials in Colorado con
ducted by the regular judges of farm
machinery, appointed and paid by the
government. These trials were on irri
gated farms where the growth was rank
and the land strewn with stones and
gridironed with irrigating ditches and
laterals. Notwithstanding these ad
verts conditions the Deering Improved
Steel Binder made a draft record 113
per cent. Issa, and the Deering Pony
Binder 16.9 per cent, less, than the reo
ordamade for a competing binder in
straight grain on smooth ground at
Wayne; III Similarly, the Deering 5
foot Idbsl Mower showed a draft 88.8
per cent lower than the 5-foot mower
tried at Wayne; and the New Deering
6-foot Mower 19.5 per cent lower. The
Deering Giant Mower showed a saving
of 23.7 per cent over a competing mower
of the same size in the Wayne trial
This remarkable saving in draft made
a strong impression on the judges, who
could not help realizing its great im
portance to agriculture. The novel fea
ture of the jointed platform, coupled
with the simplicity of the binding at
tachment and the marked efficiency and
evident strength of the whole machine
were all taken into account by the
judges in giving their awarda for the
binders.
In considering the mowers the judges
were strongly impreesed with the unique
adjustable drag bar, the two-piece pit
man, the everlasting gears, and the per
fection of mechanism which enables
these machines to do better work for
mora years with lighter draft than any
other mower made.
Manufacturers of harvesting machin
ery and binder twine were especially
fortunate in the high character and wide
experience of the judges appointed to
examine their exhibits. They were Prof.
John E. Sweet, for years professor of
mechanics in Cornell university at
Ithaca, N. Y., who is recognized as being
one of the greatest authorities on me
chanical matters in the United States;
lion. Hiram C. Wheeler, of Odebolt, la.,
one of the largest farmers in that state,
who was republican candidate for gover
nor of Iowa in 1891; and Mr. Charles
Whitney, of Illinois, an inventor and
mechanical expert of wide reputation.
One of the great events of the exposi
tion which, though having no bearing
on the award of prizes, gave Deering
machines honors considered by many as
even higher than the actual award of
prizes, was the famous tour of the for
eign commissioners to the bonanza
farms of North Dakota. The results of
this tour, together with a description of
the Deering maohines, are set forth in a
beautiful book entitled, "Why Bonanza
Farming Fays," which is sent free on
application by William Deering & Co.,
to all farmers desiring it
There are longer but no better roads
in this or any other country than the
Chicago & Alton railroad. This line
makes a peimanent patron of every
traveler who once gives it & trial. Its
tracks are of the heaviest steel and as
smooth as glass. Its road-bed is stone
ballasted throughout. Ita epuipment is
superb. It was the first line on which
a Pullman sleeping car was ever run,
the first line to adopt dining cars and
the first line to run free reclining chair
cars, and to-day its solid vestibuled
trains, containing all of these modern
luxuries, are running through on fast
time to and from Union Depots in Kan
sas City, St. Louis and Chicago with
astonishing regularity and with exceed
ing comfort to ita ever increasing pat
rons. If you ever make a trip in any di
rection between Kansas City and Chi
cago, or Kansas City and St. Louis, or
St. Louis and Chicago, and fail to pat
ronize the Chicago fc Alton, you may be
sure that you have missed at least one
opportunity for increasing your happi
ness in this life.

On THE BILL-BOARDS
and a circus on circus day are two kinds of a thing. The greatest circus
is usually on the Bill-boards, and the circus on Circus Day is consequently
a disappointment. There is, of course, the occasional exception which
proves the rule. McCormick Binders and Mowers are an exception. Their
promise on the "Bill-boards" is always fulfilled on "Circus Day." For
years the makers of McCormick Grain and Grass Harvesters have been
telling the World that they could and would at any time demonstrate the
superiority of their machines in the actual competitive field test. The
"Bill-boards" of other manufacturers have glaringly proclaimed that their
machines are the best. But "Circus Day" came at length. The World's
Fair urged all these manufacturers to take their machines into the field
that the results might be compared. The McCormick was there; its show
went on. It's promises to the World were carried out. But how about
the other "great and onlys"? They stayed at home consoling themselves
with the reflection that "the people like to be humbugged," and their
artists got up new pictures for the "Bill-boards." Before deciding about
going into these field trials, the competitors of the McCormick went and
examined the crops to be cut, and realizing the severity of the conditions,
they said to themselves: "We don't propose to come here and compete
with the McCormick ;" "a live coward is better than a dead hero ;" "a
sucker is born every minute, and we'll catch some of 'em anyway."
That policy may answer for the "Bill-board" sort of circus; it will not do
for the McCormick. Promises must not be broken. If McCormick
machines are not better than all others, they must not be so advertised.
If they are so advertised, every Binder, every Reaper and every Mower
must be ready at a moment's notice to go out into the field and show up.
That's business. Write to the McCormick Harvesting Machine Co.,
Chicago; or, better yet,' call at once on your nearest McCormick agent.
