Asphalt-saturated wool felt 
Avoid roofings that crack 
like old shoes, because 
the oils of their pores dry 
out after short exposure 
to sun and air, and leave 
the roofing lifeless and 
leaky. Get the perma¬ 
nent roofing — 
The natural oils of Trini¬ 
dad Lake asphalt are last¬ 
ingly stored in it. That’s 
the difference between 
natural and artificial. 
They keep Genasco 
pliable— always ready to 
resist every condition of 
weather that attacks it. 
Put Genasco on the roof 
of all your farm buildings, 
and forget it. 
Mineral or smooth surface. 
Several weights. In handy rolls.

ways patient when the “business" de¬ 
manded every cent there was, had long 
wanted to do. 
Thanksgiving came and went again, as 
happy as before; and winter found them 
even better prepared for the long siege of 
cold weather, snow and short days. The 
greenhouse was kept full of lettuce and 
radishes; they tried also a part of a bench 
of carnations, but the demand for them 
was too unsteady. 
They found that the new pond, made 
for their irrigation project, would also 
supply them with ice—clear, transparent, 
spring water ice, and also save them a 
two-mile trip for every load; and there 
was enough for the Squire, too. They 
also got a machine for grinding corn, cobs 
and all. at an expense of $16 — of which 
the Squire of course paid half — and this 
saved a good many cold trips to the grist 
mill at Priestly, besides the expense of 
having it ground. 
Their plans for the coming year showed 
some changes. The onion acreage was to 
be increased from three-fourths to one 
and a quarter. The garden truck, except 
what they could be sure of having well 
ahead of the general supply, was cut down. 
Potatoes were to stay at four acres with 
half an acre of extra early ones. The 
poultry department did not show as big a 
per cent, profit as the year previous, al¬ 
though the total was greater, and it was 
decided to keep this about the same, espe¬ 
cially as the new apple orchard, upon 
which they had already done a good deal 
of work, would require Robert’s attention. 
In addition to the moderate degree of 
prosperity which they were beginning to 
enjoy, after two years of intelligent and 
unremitting labor, they had all enjoyed the 
best of health, and naturally the combina¬ 
tion made for the best of spirits. 
Their third Christmas in the country 
was, of course, the happiest. What had 
begun as a temporary retreat from the ill 
fortunes of the battle of the city had 
turned out to be the best move of their 
lives. Mantel! and his wife still sat before 
the dying open fire, after the Christmas 
party had broken up and the young folks 
had gone to bed, talking over the various 
events of the last two years and plans for 
the coming ones. 
For a long while they sat in silence until 
at last Mantell, turning, gazed for a mo¬ 
ment into the firelit eyes of his helpmate. 
"We surely have been blessed, dear," 
he said reverently. And drawing her head 
down to his shoulder he added, in a happy 
tone, “There surely was unbounded luck 
in Uncle Peter's golden key."
