"You do ilka ihy gw then?" Nancy
questioned. She reached out end ex
tracted a solitary pink rose that bad
lent Its beauty to his writing-table. "I
think I need this In my hair," she said
and tucked tha flower among the riot
of golden curls. After hla smile of ap
proval sho Skipped off. It was quit
time for thS first guest to arrive for
her coming out part)1.
Kennard watched her go and sighed
a trifle wearily. He was old beyond
hla thirty-five years in that he had, at
the age of twerity-onc, pone through a
frightful train wreck which left hlw
mentally aged and physically luuin.
At twenty-five, his closest friend,
older by many years than Kennard,
h4 dtod, leaving a slim, delicate girl
Orphaned &h? 'id illy alone in the world."
Kmtiiard had adopted Nancy Vale be
caiisa Valb had left her- to him.
The doorbell t-firfg thhnf times' and
men and women Socked ItitO thtt great
Kennard drawing-room where Nancy,
looking not more than fifteen in her
simple gray frock, welcomed her
guests. Often her tig m glanced
swiftly at the stairs leading from (liS
library, but each time they returned
to smiles and laughter with a hint of
wlstfulness growing in their clear
depths. "Nijnky" was so absorbed in
his story as to forget that he had
jroinlH.M to eo'me in and join her par
ty. It was not until silence, reigned
again in the great hou'fls and a small
pink -rose drooped wearily in Nancy's
curls that she tiptoed softly to the li
brary door. The quiet of that room,
told her that the story was finished,
find that "Nuuky" was smoking the'
ieatful Cigarette that always followed
the completion of a good day's wprK.
''May I come in?" she' questioned;
already over the threshhold,
1 Kennard opened wide bis eyes.
"I Just wanted to say good night,"
sho said softly, and stroked back the
lock of snowwhita hair that lay across
Kennard's broad forehead. '
"You grow mole like your father oy
er? day" he said in quick appreciation
61 ber instinctive 'understanding. "He
was the most uhselfiBH fend consider
ate man that ever walked lh6 earlb:
I'm sorry, kiddie, that your old uncle
forgot the coming-out party. I could
only have limped about trying vainly
to banish my hero and his woos from
my mind. I will get you another strliig
of thoBe beads."
"Beads! How dare you call my
matchless pink pearls beads!" She
touched the exquisite present from"
hl.n that clasped her slender neck.
She looked antiously at him. "You
won't sit tip any longer will youit's
lale how?"
"Only till the cigarette pfcffs out!"
he told her and watched ter skip off
and up to her room.
Kennard sat for a few moments
wearily looking at the door through
which his ward had gone. Gradually
his ayes focused themselves on a
faded pink flower that lay Just within
the library door. It was the rose Nan
cy had worn in her- hair.
Kennard rose and picked it up and
returned to his desk with it. He sat
gazing softly, tenderly, at It and, a
second later-, his lips caressed it ten
derly. No sooner had he touched the with
ered flower than he drew back swiftly.
Tha meaning of his action wont over
him like a (lame of fire.
"God!" he cried in terror at his "own
emotion. "Not that! Surely not that
slio's only a child!" He sat stunned.
A fsw minutes later his head went for
ward on his arms and the rose was
again against his lips.
Nancy, creeping softly down the
stairs, tried to stifle the beating of her
heart when she glanced uwiftly at the
floor Just within the library door.
There wa no rose lying there. She
stood for a moment, her great eyes
devouring Kennard's bent shouldors
and bowed head. The very softest
nigh escaped her and Kennard raised
his eyes slowly, believing a splendid
vision had appeared to him.
Surely the slim little creature in the
doorway was not Nancy. There was
golden hair piled high and bound by
the matchless pink pearls and a white
throat rose like the stem of a lily from
a low-cut bodice. The arms were bare
and gleaming white.
"This is the new gown aunty bought
for mo," eho explained swiftly, her
words hyntorlcally broken. She had
seen the crushed rose under Ken
nard's hand. Her eyes were like stars
and her body was trembling with ela
tion. It was unbelievable, this won
derful thing that had happened. Taul
Kennard loved her!
He brusliad his eyes dazedly. He
d.uo,i Hiwccly ju look at Nancy, so
great was hla longing for her. "Her
suddenly-revealed womanly beauty had
made him weak.
"The gown is lordly," be Mid feebly,
trying to speak in the old way. "Hut
run Up to your bed, kiddle It'a time
Uttl gfrls were asleep."
'It's time Ifitle girls were grown
up.'' Nancy said. And the uMle note
of womanhood had entered her volctf.
Che drew close to Kennard and her
gleaming arms twined up and about
hla. neck, "If you went tell me you
love me," she sald-and there was a
sob in her voice "I don't want to
live."
Kennard's arms closed about her
wiftly, hungrily.
A rose lay on the desk the pink
rose sho had worn in her hair.

Chicken Ranch in New
Mexico Money-Maker
Santa Fe, April 25. Ten
thousand White Leghorn chick;
ens acres of tlieru, literally
to be seen on a single rancft
near Tularosa, Otero county,
and tho eggs they produce ar
shipped to Los Angeles, Calif.,
and sold at a uniform price of
sixty cents a dozen the year
round. The existanco of this
chicken furm, one of the larg
est in the country, ia unknown
to many N'iv Mexico residents,
The big chicken ranch near
Tularosa, is the property of Mrs.
Ralph Council, and is paying
handsomely.
Therfl ia a twenty-seven acre
chicken ranch near Albuquer
que, with 1,400 birds, that last
year produced $5,000 in eggs
and poultry at an expense of
only $1,400.
In all there are about 25 large
chicken farms in fVNew Mexico,
and in addition many small
ones, conducted in connection
with general farming and ranch
ing, But the prod icts of many
of the larger poultry enterpris
es are shipped to outside mark
ets, where they find ready sal
at good prices, and today, with
in the state, tho demand great
ly exceeds the supply. Tho pos
sibilities of the poultry business
in New Mexico are extensive
and very attractive, The begin-'
ner is advised to start on a
small scale and work up; to ac
quire a tract of cheap land and
proceed slowly untill the busi
ness ia beyond the experimental
stage, Suggestions as to the
best breeds of chickens, the
best food for the birds, and their
general care, together with
other valuable information are
contained in a bulletin, which is
certain to attract attention and
encsurage poultry raising in
New Mexico.
