"U (lint why you nro offering It to mer she demnuded, gtuncliiR up .nbruptly. 'ltecause," I explained. "It Is sup posed to brluR the owner nil manner of luck." Then." cried Theodora, "It Is n kind of charm P ' "A talisman 1" "What Is It supposed to do?" "Oh, well, the Idea used to to that It receded Intlucneo from the plan ets " "I wonder which planet? asked The odora. -The stone Is Rrecn." I answered, "and preen was tho color of Venus, you kuow. Anyhow, It Is supposed to protect your house from visitations of evil spirits "Your house," she remonstrated. "It la the same thliiR." I insisted, niul Theodorn'fl face grew rosy red. "Oughtn't a talisman to have some mysterious writing on Itl" she asked. "Every occult condition Is fulfllled," 1 assured her,, and she carried the rliiR to the window. Hut after an endeavor to read the wools which were minute ly engraved on the Inner face of tho thln gold band, she gavo It up with n nigh. Taking tho ring from Theodora's tinud I held It In a more favorable po sition. M To give and keep!' " sho read, then turned her head with an inquiring ex pression: "Is that right?' Bho asked. "Quite right," I answered, and I Khlvcrcd as her hair brushed my -check. "Do you feel cold?' she asked, look ing at the lire. -".Not In tho least." "'I will ring for Kdwards to put some more coal on." she suggested, going "toward tho bolL "You haven't made out all tho words yet." I Insisted, nnd after a momen tary hesitation sho returned to my -nlde. "It Is extremely ridiculous," she ex . claimed; "because bow can you glvo a lhlng and yet " -"It must be done In order to bring -out the full vlrtuo of the charm." , "Hut If you give It away " "Precisely what I am endeavoring to !dor 'Then how can you keep It?' Theo 'dora demanded. ".Supjwso you try to read tho re gaining Hue." I said, but she read It cautiously to herself before repeating It aloud. I saw her lips morlug. "To give nnd keep; Nor loso nor weep.' " olio read. "It Is supposed," I explained, "to bo a translation of au old English couplet, and you percelvo that the last lino con Jains tho moral." "And tho lint nn Impossible condi tion." "I assure you It Is perfectly simple," I Insisted. "In tho flreck Kalends," said Theo dora, with a smile. "Much sooner, I hope." "When? sho asked, turning away licr face. "If It Is left to me, I should Bay a month at tho latest." Turning to face mo again, sho held out the ring at arm's length. "I Khali refuse to linvo anything to Aa with It." sho cried. "Why? I asked. "Ob! I detest things I can't under stand." "You ought to try to havo more alth," I urged. "In vhat?' usked Theodora. "In me, of course. I promise, If you lake it, tho ring shall brlug good for (tune." "I was thinking of you," sho mur aiiured, "at tho moment." Then tho spell begins to work!" I jexclalmed. "What better luck could it bring thau to mako you think of iiuo?' To mo or to you?" sho demanded. t "To both; at present It Is neither .yours nor mine." "It looks rather ancient," she ro jmarked. "You see It has been a family relic for generations," I explained. Then It has always been kept." "Evidently." PROOF THAT IRRIGATION MUCH IS Irrigation of practical value- to the farmer of tho Middle- West, sny.ln Indiana?' asked the News correspondent or nn utllclal of tho Agricultural Department. "Decidedly," replied the Irrigation expert. "From experiments that nro being carried on In Wisconsin, Nebraska, Missouri, Now Jersey nnd other States, It Is already evident that n marked Increase In yields of farm crops follows Judicious Irrigation even In regions where tho rain fall Is normally abundant. Kor Instance. In Wisconsin experiment it has been demonstrated that tho average Inereaso In tho yield of clover hay on Irrigated land over that from unlrrlgnted land In 'J.5 tons au acre. Tho Increase In corn Is 'iSM bushels an aero; of potatoes Sl.ll bushels nn acre. Tho annual cost of Irriga tion for these experiments was.?il.(IS an acre, not counting Interest on tho Investment, but Including nil extra labor. This left n nut prollt, at current prices, of $) nn aero on hay, $11 an aero on porn nnd $73 an ncro on potatoes. 'The comparisons of averages In these experiments, were nulle with tho yields ns reported lu the census returns. This wns not exactly fair, because the census averages give the returns for, nil kinds of farming good, bad nnd Indifferent while- the averages In tho Irrigation experiments were those of a carefully conducted Institution. No farmer using Irrigation can be a slouch ami expect to reap any protlt. He must do as they do lu California tlgure things down tine, and stop all gaps. Hut making all allowances for differences In the averages, nnd we still can show that JutMelous Irrigation In the Middle Went will pay handsomely. "We made experiment. nNo, for the purpose of tenting the effect bath of Irrigation nnd tertlllattlon of s.iudy soils, such as are common In Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin nnd Minnesota. These lands nro poor In plant food, nnd retain so little moisture that all attempts to farm them profitably havo failed. The experiments Included the application of both water and manure to the lands. Manure nlone wns of little use. as there was not water enough to make the plant food available. Water alone gave fair results, but manure and water together gavo tine returns. 'The cost of Irrigation wns ftl.70 an am, and tho net gnln from Irriga tion wns: Potatoes. $30 an acre; torn, ft nu ncro; watermelons, $.18 nn acre; muskmelons, $15 nn acre. I'roni tlrese experiments wo found tlmt water was a good thing In Intensive farming, nnd Increased the yield lu truck fanning nnd vegetables, but was not a protltablo thing In tho enso of corn-ralslug. so far as those sandy soils were concerned, "The cost of pumping wnter In tho Wisconsin experiments wns 'ISW nn acre foot, with coal at $.1 a ton, the wnter being raised twenty-six feet. AVIth a gasoline engine, gasoline costing 11.U8 cents n gallon, water was raised thirty-three feet at a cost of $3.3:2 an acre-foot. We have prepared tables showing how much wnter Is needed for different crops, how largo a pump should be used, and how often the wnter should bo applied to the land. "And consequently It has never been given awayl" "At regular Intervnls," I Insisted. "Well." she faltered. "I-I don't un derstand." Hut I fancied sho did. "If you study tho words cnrefully." I begun, when she. Interrupted mo with a solemn expression. "Besides," sho cried, "even If tho condition could be fulfllled " "It could," I nnswered. 'Even then," sho continued, "haven't any of It owners cither lost or" They havo never lost tho Tails man." "Ah" said Theodora, "It must bo a very wonderful thing If It always keeps away tears." "You mustn't Judge by Its present effect," I urged, nnd she becamo sud denly Indignant. "What do you mean?" sho demand ed. "I fancied there wcro teara In your eyes " "Why should thero bo?' "Why?' I whispered, drawing closer. "If onlv tho Talisman might do ns you say," sho murmured. "My father gave It to my moiucr, I explained. Then ho didn't keep It." The whole Includes tho part, you understand. He gnve her tho ring; she gnvo him back herself." "And-nnd yet ho lost her," mur mured Theodora. "Yes, ho lost her." "And I aupposo for all their love, there were teara now nnd then," she suggest ed. "Ah, well "Ho that your Talisman was of very little effect," said Theodora. "Perhaps," I urged, "tho translaUoti wan not literal; but anyhow, you need not bo nfrald to accept It" "It Isn't that I am nfrald," sho ex claimed; but still sho held out her right hand once more, and tho ring wns In her fingers. "You arc not going to glvo It back to me," I expostulated. "Why, yes," sho returned, nnd I felt compelled to tnke It In my hand. For a few momenta I stood gailng at It, n llttlo foolishly perhaps, then I looked Into her face. The tears should bo as few ns I could mnko them. Theo." I said. "O, I know, I know," she faltered. "Don't you think you can change your mind?' I urged, nnd sho met my eyes with nn expression half perplex ed, half Indignant. In her own there wero still traces of tears; somo sensi tive chord hud, perhaps, been touched, of which I had no perception. "Change my mind!" sho cried. "Let mo give and keep " "I thought you would like to put It on." said Theodora, and as I took her left hand and pushed tho ring over her third linger, It Hcemcd that tho Talis man began to tako effect nt once, for her tears dried like April rnln, nnd no sunshlno was ever brighter than her smile. But Theodora Insists that her Talisman Is something different alto gether. Detroit Kreo Press. Tho Wall of Hover us.

Missouri Kdltnr Vcnta Ills Opinion of Wmtilcrsraon Karth'e (Surface, Blnce his recent visit to Havana. Cuba, where he dined with men from every part of tho world. Hob White, of tho Mexico (Mo.) Ledger, seems to have taken antipathy to tourists ns a class. In a recent Issue of his paper he says: "Tho party was not n largo one, either" the world Isn't very large, after all. Mr. Whlto "roasts" tho tour ists, and especially the Americans, who nro now "doing" Havana by thou sntds. "A regrettable feat tiro of tho tourist," he writes, "Is tho absolute lack of consideration found among many of thcm-thclr ruthlcssuc and dlsregnrd of tho prlvncy of homes, sa cred edltlces, or wherever elso their bent takes them. They enter the grand old churches during sacred service, when tho congregations nro devoutly and silently following the Impressive services. They explore all parts of tho building, talking In loud tones, cross ing nnd rccrosslng. sometimes with their hats on. between tho kneeling congregation nnd the nltnr, snapping their kodaks nt whatever objects at tract them most "Willi what disgust must tho people here regard smh dcmonstrntlous whnt contempt must they feel toward this class.
