Oahrlel MarHli was dominated by a sisterly brood, realized li and did not particularly resent It. Hero whs the situation : They were well provided for as to Income from the family es tate, hut Gabriel litid inherited the hulk of the same. It cost the others nothing to continue to live at the homestead, and a noble place It was. tinbrlel was liberal to the point of prodigality, outside of thrilling Inhar monious elements of temperament these persons were not unpleasant, and life drifted on Idly, evenly, though rut her purposelessly. It was to their Interest that (Jnbrlel should remain a bachelor, and they kept a close watch on him and a near contact when social functions were on the program. He slipped them casual ly, (trie duy. He was homeward bound from his office when n friend he liked shipped hi in on the shoulder and then linked arms with htm. "You're coming over tn the Gordons with me," he In sisted. "They're short of men und I promised to rally some recruits." Gabriel was nothing loath and soon found himself enjoying the variety and liveliness of a cheery group, bent on enjoying the occasion to Its utmost. Miss Ada Gordon was engaged, so lie was not troubled as to what his sis ters might say or think. There was tennis nnd archery. It was the latter feature that Interested Gabriel. The more so because of the superb expert liens of a girl whom he had never seen before, and who seemed to come Into his life with Irresistible power and In fluence all Id a moment of time. She was Vera Oliver, Gabriel learned, a cousin of Ada Gordon, lived some twenty-five miles distant and wait making a day's visit with her father, a studious-looking man with a finely Intellectual face, who sat apart but placidly and with seeming Interest and pleasure witnessing the activities of the young people. Gabriel was not In tennis trim and Joined Mr. Oliver on a shaded bench, Miss Gordon hav ing Introduced them. At first Gabriel said llttto. His eyes were fixed upon Mlsa Oliver. Truly a nut-brown maid, lithe, graceful, swift and fiure In all her motions, her exquisite handling of bow and arrow was superb. Straight to the heart of the target the plumed dart landed every time, other contest ants despairing of even remotely ap proximating her average. The openly expressed approbation of Gubrlcl won the father to descunt upon the capabilities of his daughter. "You know I make my living by writ ing up my scientific and nature re searches," he said, "und Vera has been an ardent und useful helper. Are you Interested In zoology to any degree? I Invite ym to run over to our little rookery and I will show you some rare specimens. My daughter, tot), will out do for you this bow and arrow prac tice. We have a shooting range at home, eltty pigeons and spring, und all that. Only, come within a day or two, fur We start for northern Minnesota j within a week." It was when Gabriel saw Vera with i rifle at glass-ball shooting that the unique charm of this modern Dlnna completely won the Isi-urt of the hith erto love-shunned Gabriel, His sisters heard of the visit to the Oliver home. There were quibbles us to "the unglrl- j lsh training and sportswoman pro-; pensltlea of the audacious minx," doubtless maneuvering to enmesh their 1 brother as a desirable parti. Their fears were set at lest, however, a day or two later wheo they learned that the Olivers had departed on one of their long nature tours. The watchful guardians of a world tnexperleiieed brother traced no pur pose In the apparently Innocent an nouncement of Gabriel one day, when he announced that he was going on a hunting trip In the Northern woods. "Nobody but squaws way up there In the pineries," he observed to his eldest sister, "so you needn't he wor rying for fear some designing fortune seeking slreu will be plotting to marry me for my money. I'm strictly going hunting for a deer." When that momentous hunting trip was over, the sisterly rabid marveled at the duplicity of their beloved broth er. They could not credit the coolness and Independence with which Gabriel had become Imbued, They could not understand the determined manner In which he slipped from leading strings they had thought surely taut drawn and strong as wire cables. The result of specious design or ac cident, this happened to Gabriel Marsh. He came across the Olivers In a little log cabin In tho woods 50 miles from clvilliattou. He had sustained a severe arm sprain from a fall over an old log. Patient as well aa guest, a welcome receptloa made htm happy, and then a month assisting Mr. Oliver In his quest fur odd speclmeus and fishing and canoeing with Vera, gave a new and' delightful tinge to life. At th end of two months he wrot to hi friend at home : "Please break the Dews to my sit tertI am married to Vera Oliver. 1 bunted and found a dear, Indeed 1" GALLED HER FAMILY TO HER BEDSIDE Six Yean Ago, Thinlinj She Might Die, Say Texal Lady, But Now She It a Well, Strong Woman and Praiiei Cardui For Her Recorery.

Increase 80,0OO.(KKH.unbels Of these cereals our shipments of the prime breodstuffs in the lineal yiur 11U7-18 to Allied destinations were: Wheat 131,000,000 bushels and of rye llt.Uoo.OOO bushels, a total of 144,000,. 000 buMliuls. The exports to Allied destinations duilnu the fiscal year 1010-17 were: Wheat 130,100,000 bushels and rye 8,8iM),000 bushels, a total of i:i7,4(MMHK) bushels. In addition some 10,otKi,tKio bushels of 1017 wheat are now in port for Allied destinations or en mute thereto. The total shipments to Allied count rles from our lust harvest of wheat will be therefore, about HUM),. 000 bushels, or a total of lM.OOo.Ots) bushels of prime breadstuff's. In ad dition to this we have shipped some 10,000,000 bushels to neutrals depend ent upon us, and we have received Borne imports from other quarters. "Tlits accomplishment of our people In this matter stands out even mora clearly If we bear In mind that we had avulluble In the fiscal year lllltt-17 from net carry-over and as tmrplus over our normal consumption about 200,1)00,1)00 bushels of wheat which we were able to export that year without trenching on our home loaf," Mr. Hoover said. "This last year, however, owing to the laie failure of the 1017 wheat crop, we had available from net carry-over and production and imports only just about our normal consump tion. Therefore our wheut shipments to Allied destinations represent u prnxlmntely savings fro in our own wheut bread. "These (inures, however, do not fully convey the volume nf the effort ami sacrifice made during the past yettr by tho whole American people, Ie spite the mannltleent effort of our agri cultural population tn planting a mm-h Increased acreage In 1017, not only was there a very large failure In wheat, but also the corn failed to mature prop erly, snd our corn Is our dominant crop. "I am sure," Mr. Hoover wrote in concluding bis report, "thiit all the millions of our people, agricultural aa well as urban, who have contributed te these results should feel a very definite satisfaction that In a year of universal food shortages In the north ern hemisphere all of those people jojnH tng.th.r scnlp't Ocrniany h;ive come through Into sight of the coming harvest not only with wealth and eireugth fully maintained, but with only temporary periods of hardship.
