Mar)or!e g overwhelmed, but sbe fflt it becoming In ber to be a trifle coy. So Se pouted: "But you won't wart me for a bride now. I'm such, a fright." He took the bait, hook and all: "1 never saw you looking so adorable." "HoDentiy? Oh, but It will be glori ous to be Mrs. Flrat Lieutenant Mai lory." "Glorious!" "I mutt telegraph home and sign my Lew name. Won't mamma be pleased T" "Won't she?" said Mailory, with Just a trace of dubiety. Then Marjorle grew serious with a new Idea: "I wonder If mamma and papa have rr.Ued me yet?" Mailory lauphed: "Alter three days' disappearance, I ehouldn't be sur prised." "Perhaps, tiey are worrying about me." "I Bhouldc t be surprised " "The. poor dtars! I'd tetter write them a telegram at once." "An eicilient idea" Ehe ran to the desk, found blank forma aud then paused with knitted l;row: "It will be very bard to say all I've pot to say In ten words." "Hang the expense," Mailory snlled magnificently, "I'm paying your bills now." ISut Marjorle tried to look rery matronly: "Send a night letter In the day time! No, Indeed, we must be gin to economize." Mailory was touched by this new revelation of her future housewifely thrift. He hugged her hard and re minded her that she coo id send a day letter by wire. "An excellent Idea," she said. "Now, don't bother me. You go on and read your paper, read about Mattle. I'U never be jealous of her him of any body again." "You shall never have cause for Jealousy, my own." But fate was not finished with the 'vitiation of the unfortunate pair, and already new trouble was strolling in tbelr direction. CHAPTER XXIX. Jealousy Comes Aboard. There was un air of domestic peace in the observation room, where Mai lory and Marlorle had been left to themselves lor some time.

Hoth bent, he handed her the newspaper and tossed the handbag Hi to a i hair; fa his mis take, -vlthiltew the iiewspnper and prufferi'd hr Snoiw.liiinis. Marjorle (topped writing, pen poised In air, as if she h.nd suddenly been petrified. The newcomer was the first to speak. She fairly gushed: "Harry Mailory of all people." ' Kitty! Kathleen'. MIsh Lewellyn!" "Just to think of meeting you again." "Just to think of It " And on this train of all places." "On this train of all places!" "Oh, Harry, Harry!" Oh, Kitty, Kitty, Kitty!" "You dear fellow, It's so long since I saw you last." "So long." "It was at that last hop at West Point, remember? why. It, seems only yesterday, and bow well you are look ing. You are well, aren't you?" "Not very." He was mopping bis brow In anguish, and yet the room seemed strangely cold. "Of course you look much better In your uniform. You aren't wearing your uniform, are you?" "No, this Is not my uniform." "You haven't left the army, have you ?" "I don't know yet." "Don't ever do that. You are Just beautiful In brass buttons." "Thanks." "Harry!" "What's the matter now?" "This tie, this green tie. Isn't thla the one I knitted you?" "I am sure I don't know, 1 bor rowed It from the conductor." "Don't you remember? I did knit you one." "Did you? 1 believe you did! 1 think I wore. It out" "Oh, you fickle boy. But see what I have. What's this?" He stared through the glassy eyes of complete helplessness. "It looks like a bracelet." "Don't tell me you don't remember this! the . little bangle bracelet you gave me." "D-d' 3 I give you a baygled brang let?" "Of course you did. And the In scription. Iwn't you remember It?" She held her wrist in front of bis aching eyes and he perused as If it were his own epitaph, what she read aloud for him "From Harry to Kitty, the Only Girl I Ever Loved." "Good ntght!" be sighed to hlmseir, and began to mop his brow with Snooileums. "You put it on my arm," said Kath leen, with a moonlight sigh, "and I've alwavs worn it " "Always?" "Always! no matter whom I waa engaged to." The desperate wretch, who bad not dared even to glance In Marjorie s di rection, somehow thought be saw a straw of self-defense. "You were en gaged to three or four others when 1 was at West Point." "I may have been engaged to the others," said Kathleen, moon-eyeing him, "but I always liked you best, Clifford er, Tommy I mean Harry." "You got me at last." Kathleen fenced back at this: "Well, I've no doubt you have had a dozen affairs since." "Oh, no! My heart has only known one real love." He threw thU over ber head at Marjorle. but Kathleen seized It, to his greater confusion: "Oh, Harry, how sweet of you to say It. It makes me feel positively faint," and she swooned bis way, but he choved a chair forward and let her collapse Into that. Thinking and hop ing that she was unconscious, be n.adu ready to escape, but she caught him Ly the coat, and moaned: "Where am 1?'' and lie growled back: 'In the OU-orvatton Car!" Kathleen." l:!i and t-nthi:.-.l,uiu re tumtil wi'Loit delay: 'Fancy meet i:: r u ai'-ilii! 1 could just scream." "So Co lid I "Vu'i i ;: i o:e i.p in our car and " r. :a.,:ua " I "Is Ma-n.amma v. i-h you?" Mai- j lory Mammt real, on taw verge of im-U-dhty. "Oh, yen, indeed, we're going around the world." "Don t let me detain you." "Papa Is going round the world also." "Is rapa on this train, too?" At last something seemed to em barrass her trifle: "So. papa west on alo a.l. Mamma hopes to overtake lit in . Hut papa Is a very good trav eler." Then clip changed the subjurt. "Do come and meet mamma. It wotiid cheer her tip so. She Is so fond of you. Only this mornlnR hn was sav ing, Of nil the boys jou were ever engaged to, Knthleen, the otm 1 like most of nil was Kilgiir I tneati I'll ence -er Harry Mailory." "Awfully kind of her." "You must come and see her she'a some stouter now!" "Oh, is she? Well, that's good." Mailory was too angry to be sane, and too helpless to take advantage of his anger. He wondered how be could ever have cared for this molasses nnd mucilage girl. He remembered now that she bad always had there same cloying ways. She had always pawed him and. like everybody but the pawnrs, be bated pawing It would have been bad enough at any time to have Kathleen banging on his coat, straightening his tlo, leaning close, smiling up In his eyes, losing bltn his balance, recapturing him every time he edged nwuy. Hut with Marjorle as the grim witness it was maddening. He loathed and abominated Kath leen Llewellyn, and If she had only been a man, he could cheerfully have beaten her to a pulp and chucked ber out of the w indow. Hut because she was a helpless little baggage he bad to be as polite as he could while she sat and tore his plans to pieces, em bittered Marjorie s boart against him, nnd either ended all hopes of their marrlnge, of furnished an everlasting rancor to be recalled In every quar rel to their dying day. Oh, etiquette, what Injustices are endured In thy name! So there he sat, sweating his soul's blood, and able only to spar for time and wonder when the gong would ring. And now she was off on a new tack: "And where are you bound for, Harry, dear?" "The Philippines," he said, and for the first time there was something beautiful In their remoteness. "Perhaps we shall cross the Pacific on the same boat" The first sincere smile ho bad ex perienced camo to bltn: "I go on an army transport, fortu unfortunately." "Ob, I Just love soldiers. Couldn't mamma and I go on the transport? Mamma Is very fond of soldiers, too." "I'm afraid It couldn't be arranged." "Too bad, but perhaps we can stop off and pay you a visit I Just love army posts. So does mamma." "Oh, do!" "What will be your address?" "Just the Philippines Just the Phil ippines." "But aren't there quite a few of them?" "Only about two thousand." "Which one will you be on?" "I'll be on the third from the left." said Mailory, who neither knew nor cared what he was saying. Marjorle had endured all that she could stand. She rose In a tightly leashed fury. "I'm afraid I'm In the way." Kathleen turned In surprise. She had not noticed that anyone was near. Mailory went out of l.ls bead com pletely. "Oh, don't go for heaven's sake don't go," he appealed to Mar jorle. "A friend of yours?" said Kathleen, bristling. "No, not a friend," In a chaotic tan gle, "Mrs. Mlas Miss Er er er " Kathleen smiled: "Delighted to meet you, Miss Ererer." "The pleasure Is oil mine," Mar jorle said, with an acid smile. "Have you known Harry long?" said Kathleen, Jealously, "or are you Just acquaintances on the train?" "We're Just acquaintances on tha train!" "I used to know Harry very well very well Inded." "So I should Judge. You wont mind h I leave you to talk over old times together?" "How very sweet of you." ."Oh, don't mention It" "But, Marjorle," Mailory cried, aa she turned away. Kathleen started at the ardor of bis tone, and gasped: "Marjorle! Then he you " "Not at all not In the least," said Marjorle. At this crisis the room wag sudden ly inundated with people. Mrs. Whit comb, Mrs. Wellington, Mrs. Temple and Mra. Foedlck, all trying to look like bridesmaids, danced In,- shout ing: "Hera they come! Make way for the bride and groom!" (TO BE CONTINUED.) Boxing, Ancient and Modern. Although boxing and pugilism, oc cupying much attention at tha present time, were popular In classlo Ureeoa. they seem to have died out In th middle ages, and It Is not until tha end of the seventeenth century that we find references to boxing as a regular English sport Boxing, as dla- : tingulsbed from pugilism, may be said i to date from 1S6G, when the Amateur . Athletic club was formed, and tha ; Qufeneb-crry rules drawn up. The box- ing glove, however, had ln Invented ' ahout a century before by Hroughton, 1 "the father of English pu;;il!sm," who uFcd them In hiH practice, bouts.

Last year a great deal of timothy seed in the northern states waa de stroyed by tha species of army worm known as the "Wheat-Head" worm. The Injury was most severe on high sandy soil. In every case Investigated, however, it was found that the pest had its origin In old timothy fields that had been allowed to run four years or more without being plowed. After the timothy heads are eaten. the worms turn their attention to oats, wheat or corn; traveling In an army from one field to another hence their name. They uppear to be somewhat sub ject to the attacks of parasites; and are undoubtedfy. In common with other caterplllers, devoured by pre daceous beetles, by birds, and die on account of fungous or bacterial dis eases Nevertheless, these factors simply serve to keep them within bounds, and It Is absolutely necessary, when a farmer la confronted with a horde of these worms stripping his timothy field, and preparing to march to grain fields, to know- what to do and to realize that whatever Is to be done must be done without delay In order to be effective. Fall plowing and the rotation of crops, sovereign remedies for many field-Insects, are valuable here. If farmers would plow up their timothy fields at least once in three years, It would be a help in connection with this or any other Insect which found there an undisturbed breeding ground. Another year, quite poM101' this rnl PLAN FOR STACKING COWPEA HAY GREEN Barn Room Is Not Always Avail able and Muoh of Forage Crop Is Lost. It is so very difficult to cure cow pea hay In the shock or windrow, and when curod It la so difficult to keep In a stack, that very Utile of. it Is put up out of doors. Barn room Is not always at hand, therefore much of this valuable forage crop Is lost or indifferently cared for. By following a simple plan, however, this hay can be cured and kept in stacks without losing any shattered leaves or hav ing It mold, according to II. F. Grin stead In the Farm and Home. Set a pole In the ground where you want a stack. Throw a little brush around the pole to begin stacking, then stack the pea vines as toon aa wilted around this pole, making the stack not more than eight feet In diameter. When you have reached a height of four fee nail two strips six feet long to the pole at right angles, then begin tacking on these, and when you have plied on another four feet nail another pair of the strips. Don't get on the stack, as your weight would broak through. When you reach the top, cover with a stuck cover or grass hay. In a day or two the hay will Bettle, leaving an air apace under each of the sup ports so that air can circulate freely. The hay will not mold and can be fed from the stack. This plan Is prac ticed successfully In the south, where pea hay Is a ataplo forage crop. FREE RANGE NEEDED BY YOUNG CHICKENS Gardens are in Such Shape in Fall That Fowls Will Do More Good 'Than Injury. Where hens or chicks have been confined In small yards during tha spring and summer they should be turned out on free range now, If pos sible. A yard which has been In use all the season will by this time need attention. In most cases It Is abso lutely bare, and well contaminated. The chickens In It are not receiving a fair chance. Gardens are In such shape that the chickens will do them little damage now, and to turn the hens loose will reduce the cost of the feed bill, as well a6 make them happy. In case several varieties an- kept a good plan is to turn er.ch flock out at least one or two days a v.'jf k, or better still, a few- hour.- each day. This method i'.l give tin :n all a rang.) without .'.'ixilig the fiock.s The jardH themselves should be plowed oi fpadeii up, and this fall sown to ko:ae rop such as oats, rye or wheat Th crop will purify the soil, us well as furnish green food for the liock. It Is only by careful attention to theue details that hens can successfully, be kept In small yards A' ... - - HEAD ARMY WORM by Wheat-Head Army Worm. worm might not originate In timothy, but be found beginning Its depreda tions on some other crop. Its Im pression, therefore, appears to be rf pendent upon proper farm practloa. In cases of serious Infestation, as la the present Instance), when a farmer's crop Is threatened by these worms, and the land Is tn a condition to allow It, be should plow one or two deep furrows across the Una of march of the worms, the steep side of the fur rows toward the crop to be protects!. The worms collect In the furrows and can be killed with kerosene, or better, with crude oil. If post-holes eight or ten Inched deep are made at Intervals In these fur rows, fhey form traps Into which the worms fall. Or the ditch rr fur row may be partially filled with straw, which may bo wet with kerosene and burned Bfter the worms have collected thereon. Fields where they are entering the soil to go through the resting stage should be plowed harrowing Is not sufficient. Co-operation in the attack Is necessary; for there might remain on one man's place enough worms to lay waste the entire neighborhood later on If every one did not take preventive measures. Clean culture along fence rows and elsewhere is desirable, since the worms also feed on plants other thr.n timothy, and may breed. on wild grasses by the roadside. The presence of this worm on cured hay does not poison It for stock, as some farmers have supposed. PLANT RESTRICTION IS BIG ESSENTIAL Principle Must Be Put Into Prac tice In Order to Make Suc cess in Fruit Growing. (By M. N. BDOOKHTON. Mlchlraa.) Most small fruit plants perpetuate and multiply their species In two ways, through the production of seed and nodes. Seeds are produced In the fruit of plants. Nodes are the knot-Uke pro tuberances that appear on the stems of the plants, with the strawberry, terns are known as runners. With this plant new fruits are made as the runners lengthen. Leaves spring upward from the nodes and the roots strike downward Into the soil very quickly If the soil Is loose and moist. lied raspberries and blackberries propagate In much the same way the roots acting as runners. If allowed to follow the natural course of Its being this purpose of Its life will be prosecuted to the fullest possible extent without reference to the quality or quantity of fruit pro duced. It is by placing restriction upon the plants In this matter of reproduction that larger crops of better fruit are secured. The plant has only a certain amount of energy to use, therefore reduce the number of seeds to be maturod and the entire energy of the plant Is directed to the building up of the remaining seeds and seed receptacles. In order to make a success in grow ing fruit of whatever kind, the prin ciple of restriction must be put Into practice, for plant restriction Is one of the essentials of fine fruit growing. In strawberry growing we find that those varieties which show a tendency toward propagation by means of nodes do not grow large fruits, while those varieties which send out few runners either produce large fruit or numerous fruit clusters. Our method of culture requires that each mother plant Is to furnish on an average of six young plants only. After these are secured all further growth . of runners Is re stricted. The growing of this number of plants does not draw upon the vitality of the plants concerned materially bo that practically the entire energy of the plants Is directed Into the channel of fruit production. The less growth these runners are allowed to make the more nearly per fect will be the conservation of the plant energy. In this principle of conserving plant energy we have one of tho essential factors of great crops of fine fruit. If, In strawberry culture, this prln- j ciple la carefully followed out and ' accompanied by scientific rowing and intensive! cultivation In the presence of a highly fertilized soil, the huild-1 lug tip of Immense fruiting crowns must surely result. Profitable Flock. The object at this issue is to ra dtice the flocks to a ptofluble bads, aa It does not pay to winter unelesa birds. Sell them now. X NEWSff MISSOURI Resigns; Is Rtappolnttd.
