glance at the beaming Miss

approvingly.
Wont you give me time to 80 be-

"Thunderr gasped Monty. THAT'S

Brewster's face was study. He
could not believe that she was In ear

that the joke was being turned on him.
The rest of the company stared hard
at the flushed Peggy and breathlessly
awaited developments.

"The son of the prophet desires that
you be as quick as possible, queen Of
the world He tires of waiting and
commands you to come with him at

Peggy WINGED, and her eyes shot a
brief look of scorn at the scowling
sheik. In an instant, however, she was
smiling agreeably and was turning to-
ward the steps.
Holy mackerel! Where are you 60

you come with me, Mary?"
Peggy" cried Brewster angrily.
This has gone far enough"
You should have spoken sooper,
Monty" she said quietly.
"What are you going to do, Marga-

with amazement.
Il am going to marry the son of the
prophet" she replied so decidedly that
every one gasped. A moment later she
was surrounded by group of excited
women, and Captain Perry was call

Their bureau in its weekly bulletin
summarizes The crop condition as

The temperature during the week
ending September rs was favorably
throughout the country, being nearly
everywhere above the normal. Rains
caused some damage in portions OF
the Missouri and Upper Mississippi
valleys, while considerable part of
the South Atlantic nid Gulf States
is in need of rain. Damaging frosts
occurred in the Middle Rocky noun
tain regions, and light frosts with
little or no injury in portions Of the
lower lake region and interior OF the
Middle Atlantic States.

BILE for maturing the crop, from 70
to 90 per cent of which is now safe

ouire only about a week of favorable
weather In Nebraska considerable
corn has been blown by high winds,
but this will only make harvesting
more difficult, without reducing the
yield. Some corn in shock in Mis-
souri, and Kansas has been damaged
by moisture, due largely to rains of
the previous week.
The threshing of spring wheat in
the Dakotas and Minnesota was in
terrupted by rains during the first OF
the week, but shocK threshing and
stacking are not yet finished. In
Dakotas the. yield and quality are
variable and generally Disappointing

of the Eastern districts. Picking In
Texas was interrupted to some ex>

nearing completion in portions of
Georgia. Louisiana and extreme
Southern Texas.
Some injury to housed tobacco by
moist weather is reported from por-
lions OF the Middle Atlantic states
and New England, but elsewhere the
reports respecting this crop are ia
vorable.
No Improvement in the apple out

ing reported from practically all the
important apple producing states.
A poor crop of potatoes is general

states. where the soil has been too
dry for blowing, this work is unusu-

has been done. and the early sown is
coming up to good stands throughout
