Mr. Maybry could never see enough of George nor hear enough of his discourse, which was full of. the worldly man. wisdom of the town-bre- d Mr. Maybry disliked farm work, and It was his luck to have no boys to grow up and relieve him of the irksome chores. Dora was helpful, both indoors and out, and It was owing to her willingness to do the milking he did not sell the last one of his cows. This was harder for the girl than she confided even to,her mother; but she told John Porter everything, and perhaps the things at home becoming harder to endure, as they did, toade his calm sympathy sweeter than It would have been had the Journey toward their wedding day been smoother, - George Carson sent Louise and the children out to the Maybry farm every summer to stay through the season.

They lenve It all to the politicians, who are In the governing business so called not because of their fitness to administer laws, spend .public, money, deal out Justice, etc., for the good of the community, but strictly and purely for what they can get out of it Just graft for themselves and their much-talked-- of any fertile field.-Msummerspassed before the work was actually7 begun.

John went over the swamp a year ago, and he says stuff doesnt grow any better In soil that happens to be black. I know, mother, that John doesnt pretend to be scientific, hut he tells me that swamp can never be drained s long as its surface is three feet lower than Dargies pond. He hated to speak of It, but he said last night he thought you ought to know the truth before George wheedled you into mortgaging the farm to raise more money. Why, mother, what is it?

Dora let the face of her mother rest against her strong young shoulder, and y the hopeless clinging of Mrs. Maybry to her the girl was told that Johns warning had come too late. George, Louise, and the children had gone Into town that morning, and the paper that he had persuaded the Maybrys to sign went with ,them.
