Paul Lacy and his wife Eilie endure a terrifying burglary plot in their Munroe home. A masked, hooded intruder disguises as a servant, a deadly confrontation ensues, and a barricaded staircase encounter ends with a dead robber and a secured future for the couple and their caretaker Chloe.
Esmeralda Lacy leaves the Sedges for her father’s home, leaving brother Paul to manage a growing estate with logs, gardens, and a hopeful but lonely future. Hilie caretakes, while Paul frets over lack of a steady partner as he plans to hire a housekeeper after his thirtieth birthday.
A dated reflection condemns inherited drink urges and the wreck it causes. It recalls a Texas heir to a “woeful heritage” whose genius and service were vanquished by a demon like craving for brandy. The speaker warns that self-made drinkers risk passing ruin to children.
A Michigan farmer reports results from eight plots on sandy soil after a three year test with plaster wood ashes salt muck and horse manure. Yields per acre rose from 8740 pounds without manure to as high as 14686 pounds with manure, with gains ranging from 4 165 to 6 224 pounds per acre and percent increases up to 71. The study notes that plaster is not the sole best option and other treatments can match or exceed its performance.
A reflective tale traces a woman's life through cherished keepsakes from childhood toys to letters, locks of hair, a penny, and a baby’s stocking. It follows Aunt Hannah Cheney’s box, the discovery of missing relatives, and the reunion with Johnny, who returns after twenty years from Boston harbor, reshaping her hard life.
A collage of comic vignettes from a rural area includes a billiards duel with a drunk man warning a youth of demoralizing games, a teasing marriage joke about buds and Rose, a Texas county fair clocking sixty amifas in two hours forty minutes, a sharp observer noting women in striped stockings, a Mevin who avoids injury after a highway accident, and a Virginia City woman cured by fright after a hospital bed stay during a nearby fire.
