House and Garden 
A sudden nervousness seized him. He felt his knees shaking, his heart 
began to thump, his brain to swim. All at once he realized where he was! 
It was not the lady of Thorpe, this! It was the woman who had come to 
him with the storm, the woman who had set burning the flame which had 
driven him into a new world. He looked around half wildly. He felt sud¬ 
denly like a trapped animal. It was no place for him, this bower of roses 
and cushions, and all the voluptuous appurtenances of a chamber subtly 
and irresistibly feminine ! He was bereft of words, awkward, embarrassed. 
He longed passionately to escape. 
Wilhelmina closed the door and raised her veil. She laid her two hands 
upon his shoulders, and looked up at him with a faint but very tender 
smile. Her forehead was slightly wrinkled, her fingers seemed to cling to 
him, so that her very touch was like a caress! His heart began to beat 
madly. The perfume of her clothes, her hair, the violets at her bosom, 
was like a new and delicious form of intoxication. The touch of her 
fingers becamemore insistent. She was drawing his face down to hers. 
“I wonder,” she murmured, “whether you remember!”

Dogs for the country are as necessary as the 
garden. If you advertise in our Kennel Depart¬ 
ment, the advertisement will be seen and read 
by people living in the suburban districts, and 
what is more, by people who own their own 
homes and are financially able and willing to take 
advantage of any offer that you may have to 
make them. Special rates will be sent on request. 
and all the minutiae of location must be 
considered with an omnipresent realiza¬ 
tion of what the future possibilities of 
this particular road may be, as well as 
what are the financial possibilities of its 
promoters. The cheapest line in some 
regions would be dear indeed, whereas 
in unsettled and barren districts the first 
cost must usually be minimized. There 
cannot be many professions which com¬ 
bine such large and comprehensive 
views with such infinitesimal niceties 
of details .”—Henry Wysham Lanier ,

A NEW POST-HOLE DIGGER 
A HANDY new tool for making post- 
^ holes is The Butcher Automatic 
Post-Hole Digger. It is claimed that 
by using this device a post-hole can be 
dug in one fourth of the time in which it 
can be done with any other tool; that it 
will dig a hole in any soil that an ordi¬ 
nary shovel will and that as it disturbs 
the surface of the ground only the diam¬ 
eter of the hole it is a great time saver 
as there is practically no refilling to be 
done. It is light and there is very little 
strain on the workman. It is very 
strong, all the parts being made of the 
best materials. 
T he handle is made in lengths of six 
and eight feet, one and one half inches 
in diameter, the blade being of the best 
of steel. The manipulation is very 
simple and the digger is easy to work, the 
motion being quite different to that 
when using the ordinary spade, the 
handle being pushed back and forth and 
when full of earth pulled straight up. 
The digger is especially valuable in dig¬ 
ging holes where it is desirable to have 
them larger at the base than at the open¬ 
ing, so that the bottom of the hole may 
be filled with concrete around the post, 
making it perfectly steady. 
THE STRENGTH OF ICE 
GPHE army rules, says “Engineering 
Mechanics,” are that 2-inch ice 
will sustain a man or properly spaced 
infantry; 4-inch ice will carry a man on 
horseback, or cavalry, or light guns; 6- 
inch ice, heavy field-guns, such as 80- 
pounders; 8-inch, a battery of artillery, 
with carriages and horses, but not over 
1,000 pounds per square foot on sledges;
