hRlILLAR had played with devil
WI ish ingenuity on the tender
s5J11 susceptibilities Of Elsa. He

for Karl and her determination to win
him. evidently with the deliberate pur.
pose that she should repel the boy
whose will he had determined to sub
ordinate to his own. He watched as q

tween Karl and Elsa after lie with

slowly from one to the other OF them.
One or two esSayed conversation, and
his cutting, insolent replies sent them
scurrving from the room. In q few
moments only he and Elsa remained
in the apartment. From the adjoining
ballroom came the strains Of music
and the sound Of dancing and bright
laughter. Millar looked at Elsa.
Now they are gone" he said.

How charming" Millar said. with
gentle sarcasm.

Saucy Elsa" said the girl warningly.
ooh. yes"
Then you should know that your
Chesterieldian manners embarrass
me-" Elsa said impatiently as Millar
bowed again before her. II have Sc

message to that crowd In there be-
cause you are so perfectly impolite."

said l was the girl they were going to

II did"
but you did not say that am the
girl who permits herself to be thrown
into Karl's arms. Am rightT
"Yes"
"Please sit down." Elsa went on
recovering her self poise. which the
battling politcness Of Millar had dis
turbed.
He declined the chair with a gesture
but she insisted.
II feel much more commanding
when l stand, and l want every ad
vantage" she said. II want to sci
you right, and 1t will be much easier
when you sit down and stand"
Smiling. Millar sat down and looked
up at her expectantly. Slightly con
fused, she went on:

mission Of explaining the true facts

cheeks flushed. Millar looked at her

But she went on unheeding:
Don't you think I can see through
your transparent schemes? But Ill
marry him just the same, II he'll have
me. Do you understand Ill marry
him.
y do not think you WILL" Millar said
quietly.
Il tell you am going to be Karl's
wife" Elsa cried. with emphasis.
Now that you have graced me with
your confidence" Millar said, rising,
Il feel that ! may he quite frank with
you. This marriage cannot take place"
lie pointed to the chair he had Va.
Gated and smiled.
Now. you sit down. because I am
going TO Get you right" he said.
WOnderingly, Elsa obcyed. Millar
called u servant who was passing and
said:
You will find n small red leather
case In my OvercOat pocket. Bring II
here"
The servant went out, and he con-
tinued to Elsa:
Il know the reason Of this marriage,
but yOu-you don't know the reason,
orr
"Or what?'
"Or you don't want to know; hence
you are about to consent"

Root Crops For Stock.

Root crops are a valuable feed for
stock. especially during the winter.
when they supplement the ratiOns OF
grain and other dry feed stui1s. They
thrive best In regions having moist
and cool weather. but nevertheless
enough heat and sunshine to promote
rapid growth during the growing sea-

states root crops may be grown with
profit. but the fact that their culture Is

Millar had gone into IN anteroom

ensued that he had been the subject of

AS AN EXPERT SEES THE BOROUGH
Regarding the future development OF the Bor
ough of Brooklyn. a well known real estate oper-
ator said recently I'VE all know how rapidly the
population OF the borough is increasing. We all
know what great of money have been spent
IN recent years for bridges, uniting the
borough with that Of Manhattan. We also
of the many projects for enlarging the
subway zones OF the borough TO bring about
affecting various sections. But few persons real
ize. however the depth and breadth OF the realty
strength of the borough a residential region
and as a manufacturing centre. l firmly believe
that the Manhattan Bridge which IS being quickly
put up VIII do FOR the placing OF the district
between the easterly approach OF that bridge and
the East River a higher plane manufactur-
ing centre than anything done in recent years.
The district north of Fulton and
of the Flatbush avenue approach of the bridge has
just as many advantages for the creation OF
big loft district many OF the midtown zones
on Manhattan Island. 1t coulo. moreover. be
transformed into such n at less cost than
similar building operations Manhattan Island.
because the price OF land there IS much cheaper
than in West 9th street and IN other central
streets of Manhattan Island. which numbered

there have become prominent again IN one or more
of the large building undertakings in this great
borough Of homes.
The real estate conveyance also show the great
er market for properties the borough Since
January / 10 date the considerations expressed in
the transfers Of titles affecting properties there IS
over SSo1l0po as against 10000 for the CORE
spending period of last year.
A few years many well known operators and
investors who had figured prominently in the larger
purchasing and building movements on Manhattan
Island and in The Bronx for many years became
factors in the realty growth of the borough. and
their presence has tended 10 make wider known
the attractiveness Of its many and varied realty
fields for safe speculation investment.
One Of the chief features of Brooklyn is that 1t has
q larger Of land with rural charms, surround
and business centres than Manhattan 1t is in Brook
yn that one may really enjoy suburban life in the
fullest sense Of the word and yet be an occupant
OF house within a short distance of all the prin-
cipal business and amusement centres Of the great
city. A striking characteristic also in the
building growth Of Brooklyn is the development OF
many districts with brick fathouses OF smaller size
and width than is be found in the central loca-
tions OF The Bronx in the northwesteTly dis
tricts of Manhattan Island. What is known as the
seven-story OF the stx-story 'walk-up" fiat is not
popular in that borough. and many Of the leading
builders and investors who have the best interests
of the borough at heart hope that the day is far
distant when such superb residential zones as Flat
bush. Kensington Wildwood, Bay Ridge and Rich
mond Hill will be largely covered with big fai-
houses
ITS REALTY MEASUREMENTS
From a real estate point OF view the factors
which make the borough unusually attractive 20
norneseekers the following:
