The great diversity ot soil renders
It exceedingly dirDcult to recommend

me may not do well with you. If two
varletlea are set side by side, one falls,
the other succeeds grandly; remove
them both to another Held and their

found true of the old standard, Cres

can determine dtflnllely Is lo experi
ment with different varieties, bearing
In mind that thoae sort which do well
over the greatest area of country will
bo the afest to plant largely, and that
exhausted plants cannot be made to

had the right to be present. Aa ofllcera
ot the low they oan go anywhere now
and with the authority of 11 policeman
they can perform the work of news
gatherers.
Koars were expressed at first that the
leporter would overstep the bounds
of their authority after they had been
commissioned, but It has never yet
been done They are under th au
thorlly ot the board of commlaalontn
and amenable to the law the tame at
the regular patrolmen. Rhould one ot
them violate the regulation laid down
for the guidance of policemen hla com
mission would be revoked and he
would find himself a plain reporter
once more, minus his star and club.
Unusual advenlurea accompany the
new role ot the reporter since they
have been made policemen, and other
are yet to be experienced, no doubt.
Pour ot them have been arrested on

dona at scientifically as the most ex

It I noticeable that the personal ea
emle nf tho reporter are very quiet,

policemen-reporters have more author

Carolyn Yernet wo of tint order
ot woman to whom their admirer ar
wont to apply audi adjectives a "ru
ga!," "magnificent," "Imperial."
Many Igvera sought to win bcr, and
many wero disappointed when rumor
announced her engagement to young
Krank lteade.
To bs sure, Frank was handsome as
a prlnco and brilliant a to wit and

be waa educated for the law by a rich

ills presumptive heir waa another
nephew, Frank's cousin.
Well, these considerations had their
weight with Miss Vernet, and she bad
hesitated before accepting the young
lawyer, but hla attraction of mind and
person prorod too much for her world
ly wisdom, and It was an engagement.
Only she stipulated that It should be
no mors until Frank should havs euM
clrnt Incomo to support her In good
atyls.
Of course Frank mutt needs go away
lo seek his fortune. He went to Hu
rope. There was a tender parting be
tween the lovers, at which Carolyn was
tearful and despondent, Frank brave
and hopeful.
"Don't think of my absentee, dear
est," he urged cheerfully. "Think ot
tbe time when I shall return with a
fortcme to offer you "
"Iteturn when you will, Frank."
sobbed Carolyn. "You shall find me
true. I will wait for you faithfully,
dear Frank."
Frank lteade went to fiuropo, nnd
for a month Carol) n waa Inconsol
able. However, thla did not laat long, and
at the end of a month Carolyn had so
far recovered from her grief a to ac
cept an Invitation to Mra. DoSmlth's
soiree.
At that soiree she met Albert Heads,
that fortunate cousin of Frank'.
Mr. Head wa a rather good looking
young man. She saw at once that ho
wa destined to become her adorer.
HeslJes. he waa Frank's cousin, rea
son enough why she should like him.
Still sho did not speak to him of
Frank; neither did Mr. lteade alludo
to hla cousin, but Albert wo Ignorant
ot Miss Varnct's engagement to Frank,

net, not being blind, especially to such
attentions, did not mistake It, yst she
did not dlscouiage him.
And when occasionally she heard
tome comment from "society" not flat
tering to her constancy, she said In
dignantly! "Of courss the mutt go about with
tome one, and who could be a mors
proper escort than Frank's cousin!"
So sho continued to "go about" with
Albert Itra'i Ot course, you see ths
sequel. Ci v n loved Frank, Under
tbs tasclnatlou of his presence sbs bad
yielded her selfishness, but now that
be had gons, wordllness had resumed
Its swsy, and ambition began to sug
gest that Albert waa a better match
than Frank.
"Society," that nstule and consider
ate body, had long forgotten the event
and was not In the least aurprlaed
when Miss Vernet authorized the In
formation that she was soon to marry
Albert lteade, und society thought It
a very sensible proceeding
And Carolyn married Albert lteade.
They went to II 0 with Uncle Jenkins,
who gave tbe bride a set of dlamonJt
and did the handsomo thing generally,
and somebody was good enough to
send to Frank In Hurope a paper con
taining the marrlago notice What u
crushing blow to all his hope that
notlcs was h never told any one. Ho
did not return home, and society was
lift to forget or remember him as It
would.
It chose to remember him, for Car
olyn, riding on a ferryboat about two
years after htr marriage, heard a lady
and gentleman at her aide convening
aa follows:
"I suppose Maria told you abont her
friend Frank Heads' good fortunsl"
queried tbo lady.
"No. What about him? I understand
that he wa rather unfortunate at one
time."
"You mean about hi engagement to
that Mlaa Vincent, wa It I suppoie.
Yes, he did take her Inconstancy very
badly, Maria says They say she wa
a great beauty, and men ar silly about
a pretty face begging your pardon,
roon ami!"
"Orantedl" laughed the gentleman;
"proceed."
"Well, you know, as soon aa hs wa
safely out of the way she married a
rich man, tome relatloa to Frank
Tteade, I believe."
"Yes; I haw heard all about that"
"Well, now comes the sequel. Frank
went to Switzerland on eoms wild
Eooee chase, and while there saved tbs
llfs of a certain rich, benevolent.eblld
leat gentleman. Well, the benevolent
old gentleman Insisted on taking hi
brave young prervcr home to Eng
land with him. Then ho adopted him,
and now bo has capped the climax by
dying and leaving hi Immense fortuno
unconditionally Id Frank. Now, won't
that b a bitter pill to the falthles
beauty?"
Carolyn heard no more, but shs had
heard enough and lalsr the story had
plenty of confirmation It wa a bit
ter pill to her llut tho woral wa not
yet
In tbe course ot nature Uncle Jen
kins died and wra burled, knd hi taw
ler came to read tho will to the heir
presumptive. With serene satisfac
tion Mr. and Mrs. lteade listened to
tho following:
"I give and bequeath to my ntphw,
Albert lteade, all the property of
which I die posaeased, amounting "
Hero the lawyer paused to wlpo his
spectacles,
"Amounting lo 15,000, Invested In"

That was all. Uncle Jenkins ap

Carolyn had sold herself for 15.0001
She had lost not only a true, loving
