The worms may come and, indeed, do come nearly every year-bu they eat up only the surplus crop. There is always as much cotton left as the planters can well gather during the picking season.

Mrs. Byrne neither came to lunch nor answered the Mariners invita- tlon. Mrs. Mariner expressed sur prise at this want of courtesy, and apologized to the Singletons for hay ing no one to meet them.

 But on the morning of the next day, as she was practicing her singing in the great holland-shroudcd drawing room, the door was flung open to ad- init a benign and comedy lady, who advanced smilingly towards her.

 Mrs. Byrne established herself com fortably in a deep arm chair then beckoned the young girl mystoriously with a well-gloved finger: Come over here, Ethel"
 Ethel drew low stool to the others side and sat down, smiling, but mys- titied.
 Mrs. Byrne played little with the clasp of the silrcr-mounted handbag which she carried, from which, hay ing at last succeeded in opening it. she produced a stamped envelope ad- dressed to herself.
 "Do you know that handwriting" ?" she said, nourishing it before Ethel < astonishcd eyes.
 "It is my own I wrote to ask you to lunch" poor Ethel answered, simply, while the thought flashed across her mind that Mrs. Byrnc had probably gone mad.

 Etnc' nnfolded it quickly, then sat transfixed llhc one who receives a sud den and fatal injury. For before her horror stricken eyes ylared these words, in her own hand writing Yours very sincerely, JACK DAvEN- ANT"

 Ethel moved to the writing table. blushing faintly. She remembered that Mrs. Byrne was Jack Davenant' cousin.
 "Half-past one, rocollcct," cried her mother, as she rustled from the room.
 Ethel listlessly took up her pen. and pulled sheet of paper toward her. It was not stamped with the address, but she failed to notice this, and be- gan at once

 Then she stopped short, and the buzzing in her brain went on worse than ever.
 The note got written at last, all but the signature, and then she began to wonder dreamily if she should sign herself Yours, very sincerely" or Yours affectionately
