A FEW

LETTERSHE young womanwith the levelbrows and firmlycompressed lipssat in front of herdesk staring atthe photograph ofa good 1 ookingyoung man It wasin a gold frameand stood up be-

fore¬

her She bittho end of herpen fiercely everynow and then Sud ¬

denly she made adab at the inkwell

and stabbed the sheet of pale blue let-

ter¬

paper before her with a blurredcapital Then she wrote rapidly

My Dear Mr Ferguson After theoccurrence of last evening which soeffectually opened my eyes to yourtrue character and the unstability ofyour affections it is almost unneces-sary

¬

for me to take the trouble to tellyou that everything is over betweenus You of course will have realizedthat before this letter reaches youThere will be not the slightest use inyour begging to be forgiven becausewhen a person once deceives me myconfidence is killed So completely hasmy fancy that I ever cared for youbeen blotted out that I remember withscorn and pity the foolish girl whothought you were her ideal man Iam almost moved to thank you for re-

vealing¬

yourself to me and saving mea lifetime of misery

I wish you much happiness in yoursecond choice Miss Gaylord She iscertainly more your type of girl than Iam Many persons call her loud andvulgar but they probably have notyour discriminating understanding ofher

A package of the trifles which youhave bestowed on me including an en-

gagement¬

ring will reach you short-ly

¬

Truly yoursISABEL MHATTON

She read it over triumphantly con-

sidered¬

a while and then read it againThen she frowned She read it a thirdtime Then she looked at the pictureThen she tore the letter in two slowlyand began again to write

Dear Mr Ferguson The little inci-

dent¬

of last evening which in itselfwas nothing supplied the finishingtouch which decided a question thathas troubled me for some time I feelthat I do not care enough for you tomarry you Wider experience hastaught me where my heart lies I amrelieved in telling you this to feel thatit will not be a blow to you as nodoubt your consolation even now is inyour mind With best wishes sincere-ly

¬

yours ISABEL MHATTONShe smiled in a satisfied way That

phrase about experience teaching mewhere my heart lies is really clevershe murmured He will think that Imean Clifford Gray He was alwaysjealous of Clifford

She stared at the photograph andthe smile faded A gleam flashed intoher eyes Id like to show her onceshe said under her breath She hastried to get him away from me overand over

She laid the letter aside and begananother No doubt she simply madehim do it she murmured But thatdoesnt excuse him at all She wrote

Dear Mr Ferguson I am glad tofind that you have enough good sensenot to approach me since an accidentcaused me to witness the little scenein the Dawes conservatory I fancyyou have some explanation as to whyyou kissed Gladys Gaylord but I wouldnot be interested in hearing it I pre-

fer¬

the very obvious explanation thatyou did it because you wanted to Sheis perfectly horrid and boasts of herflirtations with engaged men but Isuppose that makes no difference toyou You are probably proud of beingnumbered among her victims

You neednt tell me you werentkissing her If you ware not at the in-

stant¬

I saw you at least you had doneso just before that because there wasno other reason for your face being soclose to hers In justice to you I willlisten to any explanation you care tooffer though I warn you that it willmake no difference in my resolutionto have nothing more to do with youSincerely I MH

For a long time she stared at thephotograph It returned her gaze can-didly

¬

She reread the last two lettersThen she bit the pen and thoughtdeeply Finally she took up a freshsheet and wrote

Dear George If you have an ex-

planations¬

to make you may do soPlease write instead of coming to seeme Needless to say I am very muchamazed and hurt

A tear dropped on the paper andblotted it More tears followed

I hope she sobbed that I shallnever see him again And it was allher fault I know Every bit I hateher and I te him

There was a ring at the telephoneShe stumbled over her gown in herhaste to reach it

She said Hello and then listenedeagerly

Then she answered Of course Illbe at home to night George Im dyingto see you

Yes I knew it was something youcould explain

No of course I havent worriedover it you silly boy Chicago DailyNews

PENMANSHIP A FINE ART

typewriting Haa Not Driven HandWork from the Field

There is a renasissance In penman¬

ship despite the speedy comforts ofthe typewriters Ten years ago it prob ¬

ably would not have occurred to any¬

one to show a page of manuscript atany exhibition to day pages or booksof script form a feature of every showwhich takes to itself the name of artsand crafts Some of the work is inRoman capitals but the form of letterusually adopted is the unciel or halfunciel Apparently all the writershaye founded themselves in thesemodels Within these last few yearsnot only has the art attracted a gooddeal of attention but it has becomequite the rage so that in some circlesit creates no more surprise now tolearn that an amateur is taking les-sons

¬

in script than it would have donesome years back to be told that he orshe had taken to poker work Fromone viewpoint it is difficult to saywhere writing ends and illustrationbegins but though In the recent re-

vival¬

the two arts naturally have gonehand in hand the scribe and the illum-inator

¬

are not necessarily one and thesame person Some of the illumina¬

tions show most elaborate and minutefigure decoration so delicate in color-ing

¬

and so refined in treatment thatit challenges comparison with the bestof old work

WHAT WESTERN CANADA DOE8

Satisfactory Yields of Wheat andGood Prices

Dundurn Sask Sept 30 1906Mr W H Rogers Canadian Govern ¬

ment AgentIndianapolis Ind

My Dear SirWhen you were at our place in July

I promised to write you what mynorth quarter made per acre Youwill remember it was all sown to wheatWell I finished threshing yesterdayand received from it an average of434 bushels per acre testing 64pounds per stroked bushel The wheatis the best sample I have ever raised

so uniform and even in size Youmay know it was a good sample whenI tell you that I have already sold 2000bushels of it for seed to my neighborsThis year has been my best effort infarming during my life My wheattotaled 9280 bushels and my oatsnearly 5000

If you remember I pointed out toyou a half section lying just west ofour house and joining my upper quar-ter

¬

on the south which I said I shouldhave in order to make one of the bestfarms in western Canada I am veryglad to be able to tell you that I nowown that half section My ambitionnow is to be able to market 20000bushels of wheat next year If someof those good honest Hoosiers couldhave been with me during the last twoweeks and could have seen the goldengrain rushing down the spout into mywagon and then could have seen it ingreat piles in my granaries I feel surethey would have been forced toacknowledge there is no better farm¬

ing country in the world than this Imay just say that I have done all myfarming with eight head of horses andone hired man except during harvestand threshing This year I proved tomy neighbor that the Hoosiers whenonce woke up can raise grain equalto the best Minnesota farmers Hisbest yield was 42 bushels per acreso you see old Indiana is holding theribbon this year
