By CLIFFORD HOWARD

TOWN gossip wa In a flutter of

It waa of course, common know),

had been tbe arrepted lover of Ann

Evidently, there hsd been t quarrel

more smoothly In lbs summer time of

naught but .rumor.
There were those who professed to

cloistered cottage on the hill. Nor were
theae obaervers fsr amlas; for what
ever may have been the extent to
which be gave vtalbte sign of his trou
bled heart, the estrangement between
blin and Ann Motley was to the doe
tor an unending source of sorrow and
bitterness. It was not so much because
of whst he hsd said to her In the
moment of their little storm, for he
bed spoken with obvious unmeaning
neea, but It wa because she would
not forgive him.
After the first day of riffled tamper
end pride he had chlvslrntisly acknowl

heeding the words she hsd uttered In
the stresa of overwrought emotion.

penitent love, craving forgiveness. But
ah refuaed to receive him. Prim,
aenstttv Ann Motley I The timid love
that had bad Its Drat awakening In the
sunlight of hi presence had shrunk
bark Into her heart, wounded and
(frighted. He hid profaned her proud
sensibilities, and ahe felt that alia
could not forgive him. And therefore
It was thst sb refused to see him
and that when be wrote to her sb de
clined to answer his letters.
"Tour silence tell me," be wrote
tn bis final appeal, "that you cannot
know bow deep and all absorbing Is
my love for you. If the few hasty, un
meaning words thst ewrsned me In a
flash of thoughtless Irritation bsv
outweighed with you all I have aald

attempt to convince yon to the con

I pray only that you will forgive me.
Surely, you cannot deny me this lt

If yoa so will It, but for the sake of

Then, with the pride of lofty man

a stranger. Never again did be ap

there wa not a day during all the
weary year that followed that he
did not bow In aplrit before the shrine
of his buried lav snd pray to heaven
that be might some day know she bsd

Ignore th blight thst her mi forgiving

of ber being. It lay upon htm as 'a
curse; and as time went on hi p rarer
became a craving a morbid, brooding

burden of bis own cross; but alon
and nncotnforted, be bore It In mute
desolation through the unbroken at

And when, one evening In June, she
passed away suddenly and without tbe
berald warning of sicknessher heart
having gently ceased Its work a she
dosed in her chair th blow fell upon
him with crushing despair. Shs wa

pened that he was present it th sals
of her little property and was th
highest bidder for tbe old-time ma
hogany deak, which the auctioneer
described and put up for sale with
Irreverent harangue. And because of
the sacredness'attachlng to the thing
that had been her to th thing as
sociated with the bygons dnys of their
love he bought her book and bar
clock) ber Ivory-type portrait of her
self as a glrlj her little cushioned
rocking chair, and the old piano
with It brass-mounted leg and Its
candle rack upon which she used
to play for hi in the sweet melodies of
th long ago as they sat alone In the
dim light and quletud of love's bap
pines.
Two-fifty fin offered for this parrot
and the cage," shouted tbe auctioneer
In noisy fluency, breaking In upon the
doctor wandering thoughts. "Do I
bear three dollars? Two-fifty, two-
fifty I Do I bear three? Three dollars
I am offered; three dollars I bid; go

terpreting sn undesigned nod on the
part of the doctor as a bid at the
higher figure, "(jolng going at three

Th doctor stsrted to surprise snd
was about to protect, a the cage with
the parrot 'was brought forward and

IMMATURE CORN IS

corn from reaching maturity. Under
such circumstance th .crop should
bs siloed, according to th United
States Department of Agriculture. Such
corn should, If possible, be siloed with
some that Is mature. Silage from Im
mature corn Is sourer and more laxa
tive than thst from tbe mstur crop.
However, If proper cars Is exercised
tn feeding such silage, no ill effects
should result
If frosted corn is cut promptly, th
talk my contsln enough water so
that It may be slioed without the sddl
Hon of wster. If tbe corn bss become
too dry to pack well, considerable
wster will hsve to be added when
siloing. The frosting of corn csuses
only a small loss In feeding vslue, the
greatest loss being occasioned by the
fslllng off of lesves In bsndling snd
tbe possible spoiling of part of tbe
Hag owing to Its fsllurs to pack and
keep properly.
Sometimes there I a delsy In filling
the silo, and It Is necessary to cut and

farms tbe silo capacity will not tak

This surplus corn bss to be shocked
and U available for refilling the silo

be siloed successfully, but It Is neces
