" Weli, then," he asked, after a moment's thought, i; why was I born before Elea ?" PREPARING FOR A HARVEST As the onts in her hat noddod and tiomblcd they poisistently tickled the ear of th<* man seated next to her. He stood it m silence for some time, then lie ostentacioiisly took a huge pocVet-kmfe out of his pocket and began to sharpen it on the sole of his boot. " Whatever are you g-going to d-d-do ?" cried the girl. "Oh, don't worry. Miss!" said the man, testing the edge of the blade on his thumb. " But the next time as them oats gets in my ear there's going to be a harvest." For Chronic Chest Complaints, Woods' Great Peppermint Cure. Cburcb Services. SUNDAY, AUGUST 3.
