"na It," be agrees jovially—'^tbat Ib, I and two or thrae othera, including Mr. Blllott, our esteemed president rve heard mach of you, Mr. O'Mara. rve looked forward to this meeting," be added as he shook hands. "Now I want to tell you that I am proud to know you. And so you didn't get my message, after all?"
"I had to come down river yester¬ day," Steve explained. "Your"telegram found me here, and'I watted over an- to this momtog, as you suggested/'
"Surely-surely! I see-I see!"' Al¬ lison emphasized his comprehension. "Not that it was anything of vital im¬ portance. I just wanted a short con¬ ference with you, that was all."
"Wonld you—would you mind flndinR Miss Sarah, Steve?" Caleb nsked. "Will you tell her, r)lease, that wo are to be subjeoted tp another—neighborly Imposition?"
Allison shook his head and led the way to a chair. "I didn't know that you were acquainted with hlm. Cal. Have you known him long?"
"Um-m-m—yes!" Caleb weighed his reply. "Qnlte some time, I think I might say."
He shook with scarcely suppressed laughter, bnt Allison Ignored htn sense¬ less mirth.
"rd Uke to claim that boy as my own discovery," he avowed, "but I cant, not wfthout fear of successful contradiction on Bniott's part. And In point of service It isn't fair t* call him a boy, either, though I suppose both At va are old enough to be his father. He'a Elliott's flnd. Elliott suggested Um as the one man for thia job when I consolidated with th» Ainnesley cnmd and they took up the contract to ineve the reserve timber from Thir¬ ty Ulte nnd the valleys above. ElHott titeew alt Vl^t bur rve beea laoUaifap Ms record pretty closely since he took hold in earnest.
"He's in hta twenties..as near aa I can make out, but he's come throuph on one of two Jobs that might well make an old campattnier envious. Re took a fortune In hard woods out of San Domingo for a Berlin concern: be was the only man on the St. Sebnstlau river job who said the construction waa too Ught. Ho sold it wouldn't stand when the Ice begnn to move in the spring, and it didn't! Oh, he knowa bla. business! But it wasn't bis suc¬ cesses which caught Elliott's eye. U's tbe way he has failed a couple of times, flghting right bock to the last ditch, and flghting and fighting, when all the rest had quit, that made me anxious to get a look nt hlm. Perhaps there are older men who <nn outflgure him on loads and sti-esses, but as a fleld general be stands alone. He can han¬ dle men. And whon it comes to meet¬ ing conditions just as thoy arise El¬ liott says he's n wonder. Ilo can out¬ guess dear old Mother Nature horsclf.
"That's why the East Coast company 1 brougbt him up tiere to build lt.s lit ' of road," lie went on slowly.   "They'vo got to move thnt Uosorve company tini- , ber.   They hnvo n contract thafll brea'? 'em—brenk us—If we fall down

That trnt k'll never go through on schedule—and that's why I'm up here for the winter. It's going to be n hot little race ngalnst time, with some mil¬ lions for a purse. It'll break the Ea.st Coast company if he falls, and"—bis voice became oddly Intense—"and I tell you ngaln that It—can't—be— done!"
Allison lay back in bis chair and breathed deeply, slowly, and Miss Sa¬ rah appeared that moment in the door¬ way, pinker of cheek and more tremu- lotu of lip than her brother had ever seen her before. She dropped Allison an old fashioned couriesy, which was an exceedingly frivolous performance for Sank.
"Breakfast is served, Cal," she fairiy chortled, "and there ara two very hnn- srv children hislde."
gf
CHAPTER VM. Harrlgan, That'a MeJ BVER before had tbe air of that long, paneled room been so surcharged with half sup¬ pressed hilarity. At flnt her father merely scowled at Barbara'a In¬ termittent little gurgles, which refused to atay entirely pent up. He frowned at ber seemingly inane interruptions of tbe technical discussion into wbicb he bad Immediately plunged with the Bast Coast company's engineer until he could no longer Ignore the amlle which pulled at the lips of the latter. too, at every fresh attempt of the girl to swing the conversation Into an ut terly irrelevant cbannel. He looked around the table tben and caught tli" gleam in Caleb's eyes. He took note ol Miss Sarah's Illuminated face and gave way to a burst of querulousness not all simulation.
"What Is tlie joke?" be demanded In a voice thnt sot thera all to rocking in tbelr chnlrs. 'L.ct me In on It, let me laugh, too. If there Is nnythlng worth laughing at. Cnl, you're growing old- old and feeble witted."
Barbara bobbed her bead meekly. Her giggle, however, was shameless Allison had bad experience with his daughter's seeming meekness. More¬ over, the working of Caleb's and Sa nb's faces baffled hlm. Be waited famhig.
"Just before you and Dncle Cal came In we—we were talking about the weatker," tbe girl gurgled. "Mr. O'Marn predicted it wonld rain soen. and I Jast wanted to ask him what made him think sc¬ lt was very quiet for a moment, sure sat. a Uttle red of face himself. Smibb across into the girl's starry eyes.
"Oa ahead," she prompted hhn. with a gasp
Tben his Ups be^n to curt tnrtll a smile overspread his face and balf closed bis eyes. He leaned back and raised obediently a quaintly setemn. quaintly boyish treble.
"I wa'n't guessln'," he averred aober- ly, "ner I wa'n't thlnkin' It win. It'll Jest be rainin' come sun up, and itTl be 'good fer till Wednesday fer sure."
At the beginning of that quavering statement Dexter Allison's lips fell apart They remained opea long after Stove had flnished. Once he started to rise, and then dropped back Into his (hnlr. dumfounded. Tliere was no duubt concerning the success of his daughter's query. At last he got to bis feet and padded around the table With a hand on either of the boy's Shoulders be turned that browned face np to his own.
"You," he murmured weakly. "Tou: And EUiott said that you could out guess dear old .Mother Nature herself! Well, 1-1'm blanked!"
They talked no more business at table that morning, and Allison fouml scant opportunity to make himself heard nt ali.   Kvon the reticence which

supplemented oy Caleb Whenever her breath gavo out.
It was minutes before Allison could wedge in a single remark, longer than thnt before he stopped frownhig to himself in a fashion which mode Caleb remember that moment of Inexplicable vehemence oatslde on the veranda They had retrogressed as far as the "lnjine"-the "steam Injine"—when Al Uson flnally made himself beard.
"What I can't remember Is just wh.v yoa left us so suddenly. I know It wa.s ¦ome sort of a rumpus, with Barbaro in it—there's nlways a woman, of course—but I can't recall"—
Be paused to ponder—paused and be came aware Immediately of Barbara's swift silence and Steve's hint of self consciousness. Then it all returned to him with a rush.  He had his turn.
"Oh. but I do remember," he drawled. "Why. of course—of course! It was a matter qf knight errantry and ladles fair! But" who was It whoso choice conflicted with your own?"
He cocked his head on one side, mock thoughtful; then he fell to pounding his knee and roared with laughter.
"Archie Wickersham!" he shouted. "Archie Wickersham—oh, Lord! I nev¬ er reaUy appreciated that melee until this minute. And you promised that yon'd be back, didn't you, and—well, b'gad, here you are! Shake bands again, Steve, .^^nd, if I may be par doned the idiom, allow me to assure you tbat it was some battle!"
If it did nothing else, Allison's pon derous raillery served one end. It re moved any sentimental awkwardness which might have ottachcd to the epi¬ sode, and yet the girl rather resented Its being so completely reduced to terms of farce comedy. When the mon rose, nfter brenkfast, to go down Into the town, she. too, declared her Inten tion of accompanying thom, as though It were the expected thing. She cros.s- ed the lawn nt Steve's side, nhead of her fnther and Caleb, with Miss Sarah watching from the door. Both men walked for a short time In silence. their eyes upon the slender flgure In short skirt and wooly sweater beside the taller one In blue flonnel before them. And, as usual, Allison was the flrst to speak.
"Now I know what you meant wheu you referred to that trip up the west branch. Cal," he said. "And you were right It does take stuff to make that sori of gentleman. Isn't there any¬ thing more to tell me? 1 am truly in terested, Cal."
So Caleb told him then of "Old Tom's" tin box. And while he was ex¬ plaining the man and girl ahead, all in oae breath, skipped back to that day before yesterday, now many years gone. There was a quality of cama¬ raderie in the girl's half parted Ups and eager Impulsiveness of tongue that Biornlng that was entirely boyish. Bnt when Steve flnally asked for Devereau —Garry Devereau. who had foUowed
hlm to the hedge gap that day and laid one hand upon bis bowed, shamed shoulder —the light went from Bar¬ bara's eyes. And Stephen O'Mara, who did not understand at flrst the quick hurt which entered them, stopped smil¬ ing too.
"I Uked him," Steve snid simply. "I've always remembered and Uked him. Thinking of him and—and—has often kept me from being too lonely nights, when I wns lonely enough."
"Do you remember a little girl who was at our place the summer you were here?" Bai^nra then asked. "A pale, red lipped, very shy little thing named Mary Graves?" Stephen nodded.
"And  do  you   remomlior   how  even then  Garry  seemed  to  care  for  her? He w-ns nlways su[icroilious with the rest of us; ho tormonti'ii us or Ignored ns entirely, luit nevor hor." Again the Ineliiiatiou of tho head. "AVell.  ho grow  up just  that way." Barbnra wont on.  tliouclitfnlly.   "One never eould roll what was behind his Indifforonee    or—or    flippaiiiies.     He j mocked at things, customs and courses of action, whleli we have come to ao cept and—anil  roeoi;nizo.    Hnt  he was always pontic wkh her. and kind, anil i —oh"
word! .\nu-. knowing Garry as I i\o- as you will when you seo him ajiahi— the iilirnso may sooni a straniro one to apply to him. And yot It describes best his l>oarin},' toward Mnrj- <Jraves two years ago "
She was walking more slowly now, without knowing It.
"He loved hor with his whole sonl, Mr. O'Mara, and she married another man, almost without a word of expla nation to him. Nobody ever cited Garry as a shining example, but he-thatman wbom Mary Graves marrioil-had an unspeakable record! Her family made the match—the newspepera call It a union of America's fairest youth and powerful millions, don't they? Well, he had ^hem-and she married him. And Garret Devereau dropped out of the world for a long time.
"It was a year beforo tie came back. People had nlready begun to talk about the way his father had gone bofore hlni —he shot himself, Mr. O'Mnra. when be became tired of wiitlng for tiarry'a mother to roturn—and when Garry rc appeared thcy talke<l more. 1 never knew beforo that n ohaiiso so terril)lc could take place In any ono so much a man as I know Garry to be. It's not Just his face and hl.-» ntluT drondfii! ( silence. It's not tho fait alone tlint tu' drinks too much and shows it pitifully It's—oh. it's the piiy that n ln'ain so keen could so dpliliorntoly commit gui elde.
"They've l)eKruii to drop hliu, Mr O'Mara, uml you know whnt that means. But I'll uiwuys care for hlm deeply. Thnt's why 1 hnvo askod hlni up tbis Sail. IVui't you think you couM come down ag.iin I'rlday If you have to go back Into the woods before tben? I'm going to hnve a party for some week end guests, a masque dance Garrjr needs his friends now mar«> than
ae over oio. anu—anu wuen you moot him will you—will you, pleaso, not lot him see that you notice how much ho has changed?"
They found the conversation some how less easy after that. Morrison bad grown inconceivably in those elaps¬ ed years. It was uo longer a river vil¬ lage. Morrison was a city now. (To be uontlnued)
Treating Seed Oats.
The savings resulting during past seasons through the treatment of seed oats to prevent smut will causo many Pennsylvania farmers to adopt this treatment for the coming year.
In Blair county last year more than 400 farmers treated their seed oats with formalin and the estimated saving to the resulting crop was $7,000. In 1915 the percentage of oats smut In Blair county was 23.06 per cent. In 1916 this was redacted to fifteen per cent.
One plan recommended and used by the Pennsylvania State College Agricultural Kxperlment Stajtion is to piace the oats In bags and then dip them in barrels or tanks of forty per oent formalin, made In the pro¬ portion of one pint to thirty gallons of water. The seed is left in the for¬ malin about twenty minutes and is allowed to drain, atter which it is spread out in piles, covered with can¬ vas or similar material and allowed to dry. It is then ready for sowing in the field.
Another and more simply Plan con¬ sists In placing the oats in a pile, drenching it with formalin from a sprinkling can and at the same time mixing the oats thoroughly. Can¬ vas is then placed over the oats, the latter is left undisturbed for about five hours and then spread out and allowed to dry.
