CENTURY MFG.CO.303 Katherine 8 ldg. E.St.Louis.Ill- 
eyes and see distinctly his fat, red face 
and waving arms. I stood there for a 
moment watching for a string of carriages 
to pass so that I could cross the street. 
That was more than 20 years ago, but I 
remember every incident clearly. As 1 
stood there something touched my arm 
suddenly! You need not tell me I was 
nervous and overwrought. I am sure 
something. I know not what, touched my 
arm so suddenly that I quickly turned 
to see what it meant. - 
There, within four feet of where I 
stood, seated in a public cab, was the 
woman I was hunting for. She sat there 
Lowing and smiling at an imaginary con¬ 
cert audience! 
***** 
You can imagine how long it took me 
to get to that cab, in spite of the police¬ 
man’s growls. The cab driver told me 
that he had been driving his passenger 
about for nearly five hours, up and down 
the city, on all sorts of errands. She 
had no money, and he had become anxious 
for his fare. A little more and he would 
have taken her to a police station on a 
charge of fraud and disorderly conduct. 
In those days there were very few, if any 
women attendants at these stations, and 
one may well shudder at what would have 
happened to this poor woman. It is not 
a part of this story for me to tell what 
I did in order to get the fugitive back 
to safety. That is another tale which 
may be related at some other time. What 
I have told here is as true a statement 
as anything that ever happened to a hu¬ 
man being. 
“11 hat was it touched my arm in that 
crowded street?" 
I have a cynical friend who says my 
overcoat swung in the wind and hit me. 
But there was no wind, and if I am 
capable of recording any sensation I 
know that something struck me on the 
arm! 
Hoio did it happen that cab driver 
chose that route—through the worst street 
in the lower city? 
I do not know. The mystery of such 
things is overpowering. I cannot under¬ 
stand. I do not try to understand any 
more. When I telegraphed mother that 
the fugitive had been found, she was wash¬ 
ing dishes in that lonely old house on the 
. sandy farm. They tell me she looked at 
these two little children—too young to 
Understand life’s revealing—and instead 
of singing for joy—she cried ! 
What a great, old. beautiful, mysteri¬ 
ous, loving, compensating world this is. 
Years ago the wanderer passed on into 
that silent, mysterious land where love 
surely must reveal the great mystery of 
life! As through the long years 
Christmas comes again and again to our 
home among the hills, her children are 
working out for her the truth and beauty 
of the careless song she sung so lightly as 
girl: 
li Love comes like a Summer sigh, 
Gently o'er me stealing. 
Love comes and we wonder why 
All of life revealing /” h. w. c. 
Improving Hickorynuts 
We have 25 hickory trees on our farm 
here, but the nuts seem much smaller 
than those on the market. Do you know 
of some way to improve these nuts? 
Ballston Spa. N. Y. e. w. 
It has been found with the pecan, 
which is a species of hickory, that the 
nuts are slightly larger if the trees are 
given good cultivation and fertilization. 
They are also found to be somewhat 
smaller the farther north they are grown. 
One of my correspondents assures me that 
hickory trees will bear more and bigger 
nuts if they are fertilized. I think you 
would find this to be the case if you would 
use plenty of stable manure or a good, 
mixed commercial fertilizer about the 
trees. Cultivation should have a similar 
effect, but it must not be very deep, as 
the roots of the hickory are generally 
near the surface. If crowded they should 
he thinned out, and other growth cleared 
away, so as to give them opportunity for 
the fullest expansion. But I should not 
expect that any measures would make 
any very great difference in the size of 
the nuts. The only way to get any very 
material improvement in the character 
of the nuts would be to topwork the trees 
with improved varieties, and that, with 
large trees, is a job for an expert. Xo 
benefit would be derived from any method 
of pruning the trees. w. c. deming.
