PAKT TWO. OLD age and working woman W AGE EARNER WHO WAS ABLE TO PIT BY A WEEK, TELLS HOW SHE SAVED UP A HOME. She Robbed the Future of Its Sting:, and Tell* in Detail of the Way Any (lever Woman on a Salary May prepare a Delightful Refnge Igainst the Time of Grey Hairs, Horn Nerves and Dread of De pendence. y eW York, July 20.—Within thirty miles of New York there lives an enterprising young woman who tells this interesting tstory of the provision she has made ecainst the evil day. Her simple tale sounds sensible and may fertilize the minds of other working women with as pirations towards a country home. -How did it all come about? Why I sup pose every woman who sits at a de9k in t h, 11 y has a vague idea of some time making some sort of a home for herself. Aftfi a few yeafs of office work and boarding, there is a restlessness and home eickness. Then, as she grasps the fact that the days of the working woman are num bered. that in the office the hoary heed is not a crown of glory, that her salary is utterly inadequate to provide a compe tence for declining years the mere desire for a home is swallowed up in a sickening dread of the future with the dim outlines of an old ladies ‘asylum’ in the back ground. Not a cheerful outlook. >uving Three Dollars and a Half n Week. • After eight years of toil and moil on n salary never above and frequently much below twenty-five dollars a week, I found myself with fourteen hundred dollars the bank. I knew I was unequal to elgnt years more hard work and even then I should not have saved enough to live out side of an institution. While a year of n. rvous break down might ieavo me where 1 began. T woof my acquaintances had invested t ieir savings in renting and furnishing a house to secure a refuge for the future, but I am peculiarly unsuited to that sort of thing, besides my mind had always been tilled to overflowing with the idea of a country place buried in roses and lilac. By preference I should have bought a re mote abandoned farm, but had to consider first, proximity to a source of consump tion when. I should have a supply of farm produce to consume, and above all acces sibility during the remainder of my wage earning days when labor at the ./desk must support my farm, or rather, it into shape to yield an income and support me. A Sensible Investment. "I finally found this place an hour and o half fr m New York, and less than a dollar for the round trip, and most impor tin' of all wi/hin a few miles of two of the largest and richest of suburban towns, where ihe highest prices are always ob tainable for the very best things. Land is and ar, hereabout two hundred dollars an acr being no unusual price. I finally found my farmer with thirty odd acres and a queer tit le old tumbledown house all of which he valued at $4 (WO, an utterly impossible sum for ine lacking as I do courage for. debt. Now my dr-am is to be shut off from the highway, but the average farmer within easy distance of New York dreams ft the time when farms shall be no more, and building lots shall cover the earth as the waters cover the sea, to his great enrichment. Therefore when I proposed to my farmer to k-ep his road bind and the home of his ancestors and B*4l mo the back land, with a right of Way to the roa*d he was and lighted, and aar ed to let me have the portion want ed for $69 an acre, his valuation on the entire property being about SIOO an acre. Kach thought the other lacking in judg m*nt and was pleased with his own bar gain. The land was measured out exactly aecordirg to ray stature $1,400 in cash, equivalent to acres, only four acres of which were c ear, the rest being wood land and brook. “In September I got the deed. I imme diately bought and borrowed books and papers on agriculture and sent to Wash ington for farmer’s bulletins. I had also much conversation wdth neighboring far mer folk. I compared the written with the oken word and learned much from both. M.v farmer didn’t farm. He bought produce and sold it at retail in the bie town where pric s were high. Among ,n > assets w* re several very ’fin ? winter apple trefs and a number of quince trees. My farmer picked six barrels of the choie- t apples and gave me $* for them and M for many baskets of large quinces. The fmall ones I made into jelly, which I sold tor $:,. total $lB * 1 ’hen sought my next neighbor, the P lan with fhe plow, and arranged with him to break up all my clear land at his * ■ • \. uience. and to receive and set out f mall fruit, which I had ordered from the nursery fifty currants and a each of the different berries. The 1h or cost me sl2, ($4.50 per day, team and man), the bushes $6.20. This was all I d “i that fall, and expenses and expendl turfs balanced from necessity mainly.

A dog of low fo o r„r mind, who elept at the Btm ki 8 * ,x " hoot * r reverently laid on occult box under the head of the Jiatotnttai) Mafnittg bed and regarded with awe, and faith and hope completed my burglar proof at tachment, which gave me a sense of ab solute security, although I am very timid. On April 1 I really had a home of my own and if a man’s house is his castle a woman’s houvse is her kingdom. The entire cost of the cabin including $6 worth of shingtetint with which it wa9 painted (by my own hands), was S3OO, which I borrowed. ‘‘l then made arrangements at the office to forego my usual vacation and make Saturday a whole instead of a half holi day from April to November. I bought five dollars worth of garden tools, turpen tine. oil and dry colons and two dollars worth of grocer boxes, with the addition of a tain, these boxes and the boards which the builders rejected made the fur niture for the whole house with the ex ception of two cot.and; the appurtenances thereof. A trunk full of books, some bits of brass, and India prints from the city den gave the finishing touches. I then rented half the cabin to an artist friend for one year with fruit, garden and fire wood and fad privileges for the sum of one hundred dol’crs, reducing my debt to S2OO. Practical Details. “I worked at the desk for five days in the week and in the evenings planned out the things to be done in the country on Friday and Saturday I studied up the subject through the week a-b ab wise, stated my plans tentatively to the man with the plow on Friday evening when I got to the country, and then worked like ° beaver. The cakes of soap made from the drippings of my gas stove became buckets of soft soap, which I fed to the fruit trees, saving the cost of fertilizers. An old cook stove, set up in a shed of my own manufacture, also furnished quanti ties of wood ashes. I saved the cost of another plowing by letting the man with the plow put in a crop for himself, I get ting the benefit of the cultivation. I pick ed thousands of stones and I laid the foundations of kaleidescopic garden of fra grant color by getting slips and roots from neighboring gardens of lilac, wis taria, honeysuckle and old-fashioned roses. I sawed down dead trees which the man by the day ($1.50), carried and set up on the house slope, with their limbs still on for the climbers to cover. I got this idea from the beautiful wild vines climbing over trees they had killed. “The refusal of the man by the day to allow me to touch his ax because I stub bed its toes on the stones goaded me into buying a pruning saw for 75c, which has proved invaluable. A woman unable to wield an ax can cut down the forest prime val with a pruning saw, and the man by the day now respects me et whom he once jeered. I couldn't carry a farm in one, hand and petticoats in the other, so I bought some cotton covert cloth and made a blouse and bloomers. Then with cold cream and powder spread lavishly on my countenance I hoed my friut garden and trees. I learned to bud and graft from my guide philosopher and friend, the man with the. and to make cuttings of the small fruit, by which means I great ly multiplied them and increased'my sub stance. I worked from sunrise to sunset usually, but not always. Sometimes the odor of sweet briar or the delicious west wind would mock the vain and trivial things of time and space, and I would lay down the shovel and the hoe and put by Omer and Thoreau even to lie in the field and watch the clouds drift. And the sum mer and autumn were the first year. The Jfext Twelve Months. "My taxes were only $7, for the Ux col lector had compassion on my feeble mind. My apples were very fine this year and I sold sl2 worth, besides $35 for quinces and cherries; $47 in all. I set out fifty young fruit trees which with cost of planting amount to $lB. I seeded doxvn two acres to grass, at eopt of $lB more. You see the gambling instinct is not strongly develop ed in me. I felt my way slowly and cau tiously, learned a lot, worked hard, spoil ed my hands and complexion, improved my figure, and looked eagerly forward to next year. “As the weather got cooler I built a chimney of sewer tile, material $4.50, la bor sl. The lowest tile.had a T opening into the room, into which I fitted a cu rious old stove with an open grate effect, (second hand $2.50,) and we had glorious wood fires. We stayed out till the mid dle of November, and went out for the winter holidays when skating was good on the little pond. This is the second season. I’ve made the fame ararngements for the Saturday whole holiday, but I come out every night this year, though it's rather 100 much of a journey. The artist has rented for another year at SIOO and we've con solidated in one apartment in the city for economy. The cab n has already paid two-thirds of its cost. The small fruit first set out yield and up S6O, my farmer paying 10c a quart for it. I provided myself with glass jugs and jars. If by any mischance the fruit Is not sold It Is immediately con verted imo the manufactured product which I sell In New York or lay ud in quanlities sufficient to withstand famine or si ge. My hay brought sls standing this year. Next year it will bring more. The artist has become enthusiastically rural and provided herself with a chicken and duck raising outfli. She has made little round movable wire fences around the fruit tr. es for her broods, and we believe that a dozen small chickens applied in the active state to the roots of fruit trees are of more value than many insect mix tures. “The man wlih the plow has rented us a fine young cow. with privilege of pur- INTENDED FOR OTHERS- DliUcult to Believe Advice Applies to l’i, ‘■While reading the morning paper at breakfast, I frequently read over the ad vertisements of Postum Food Coffee and Anally began to wonder If it was a fact that my daily headache and dyspepsia were due to coffee drinking. "It never occurt-ed to me that the warn ing fitted, my case. "I had been on the diet cure for more than ten years, having tried a strictly meat diet also a strictly vegetable diet and at other times left off breakfast foi a time and again left off dinner, but all these efforts were futile in ridding me of the steady half-sick condition under which I labored. I had never once thought of over-haul ing "dear old coffee," but when it finally occurred to me to make the trial and take up Postum, I immediately discovered where the difficulty all these years came from. I now eat anything for breakfast, us much as I desire, doing Justice to a good meal, and the some at lunch and dinner, with never a headache or other disagreeable- symptom. My only "crank iness" now is to know that I hove Post um served as it should be made, that is properly boiled. There Is a vast differ ence between poorly made Postum and good. "C. EJ.

Miss Strotter hailed him and sent him post haste for the ticket. She told him Just where It could be found—on the top of her dressing table. The hotel was only three blocks away. When the pian did not return In fifteen minutes Miss Strotter grew anxious and almost ran back to the hotel. She met the returning messenger at the door. The ticket could not be found. She dashed by him to her room and searched every cor ner of it In vain. It was ten minutes to sailing time. She was In despair. She had begun a fresh search of the room, when she heard a voice say: "You're a fool, you’re a fool.” It was the voice of a parrot that had the range of the house at certain hours. He was perched on a shelf, and under one claw was the missing ticket. He flew away as she rushed at him. but she got the ticket and ran back to the pier.
