Stephen Hoyt’s Sons Co., New Canaan, Conn, 
grain and seed, had saved the day. 
On the other side of the balance sheet, 
however, were health and happiness un¬ 
bounded for the whole family, many per¬ 
manent improvements on the place, a good 
garden and some field crops well started, 
quite a nice little beginning in the way of 
farm machinery, and several good new 
friends, among them the whole-souled 
and open-hearted Squire, worth his weight 
in gold. 
Mantell enjoyed the garden work im¬ 
mensely, and found it a labor of the head 
as well as of the hands. There were sharp 
observations to be made, conclusions to 
be drawn, enemies to be circumvented, 
labor-saving ways of doing things to be 
figured out. There was also a joy to be 
taken in the care of the field crops, in 
cultivating and hoeing the potatoes and 
corn. This was more routine work, and 
while not so interesting, nevertheless it 
left more time to drink in the unlimited 
sunshine, to compare the new, more nat¬ 
ural life with the rush and worry of the 
old, to philosophize a bit, and above all, 
to turn over and study the many problems 
that presented themselves, and to develop 
plans for the coming year. Already it 
seemed to Mantell that he could see a 
hundred mistakes in everything he had 
done. The whole thing became a great 
and absorbing game to him, ever in his 
thoughts but never tiring. He was a 
great reader, and not a few dollars for 
which there were many other uses found 
their way to the office of a publishing 
house that made a specialty of agricul¬ 
tural and horticultural books. One in 
particular — Terry’s A. B. C. of Potato 
Culture — proved an inspiration to him. 
He found in it not alone notes on the 
cultivation of that humble but valuable 
tuber, but almost a new philosophy of life, 
all the better because its author never 
dreamed of being a philosopher. Not 
even the Squire’s big pair of grays could 
have dragged Mantell back to his old life 
again. Wealth had ceased to become a 
goal to him. Not but that he appreciated 
the comforts of life, and had every in¬ 
tention of winning back many more of 
them than they at present possessed, but 
money was no longer an aim in itself. 
Success he wanted, and meant to achieve, 
but there was a deeper joy in his present 
battle for it than he had ever discovered 
in his fighting in the years that were left 
behind.

Brenlin always 
looks well, and 
it wears for 
years. In fact, 
a Brenlin shade 
will outwear 
several ordi¬ 
nary shades. 
The difference in material is what makes 
Brenlin wear so much better. Ordinary shades 
are a coarse muslin, stiffened with a “filling” 
of chalk. This “filling” cracks and falls out, 
leaving the shade streaked, full of pinholes and 
unsightly. 
There is no “filling” in Brenlin. Brenlin is 
a closely woven cloth. There is nothing about 
it to crack. It is supple—not stiff. 
Brenlin is made in all colors and in Brenlin 
Duplex. With Brenlin Duplex you can have a 
uniform color outside and different colors in¬ 
side to harmonize with the color scheme of each 
room. 
Brenlin is not expensive. There is scarcely 
any difference in cost. For a few cents more a 
shade you can get Brenlin. 
The Brenlin Book—Write for it today 
In it are actual samples of Brenlin in all 
colors, also in Brenlin Duplex, and many help¬ 
ful suggestions for the 
treatment of your win¬ 
dows. 
With it we will give 
you the name of the 
Brenlin dealer in your 
city. 
So that you may know 
that you are getting Bren- 
Hn, the name BRENLIN 
is perforated along the 
edge of every yard. Be 
sure to look for it when 
buying and when your 
shades are hung.
