is far too good for what you suggest.
And when you insult her you insult
me-
ooh, she's good enough" said Clyde.
They're all good, but not perhaps in
the way you mean.'
''IIow do you know?"
Il don't know, but Fraser does. He's
known her for years. Haven't you,
Fraser" But the adventurous face was
like wood as they turned toward him.
81 don't know nothing" replied
"Fingerless'' Fraser with an admira
bic show Of ignorance.
"Wen, judge for yourself" Clyde
turned again to Emerson. "Who is
she? Where did she come from? What
is she doing here alone? Answer that
Now, she's interested in this deal just
as much as any of us, and if you don't
ask her to take a hand I'm going to
put it up TO her myself"
You'll do nothing of the sort!' Boyd
cried savagely.
Clyde rose hastily, and his voice was
shaking with excitement as he STAN
mered:
''See here, Boyd, you're to blame for
this trouble, and now you either get us
out of it or buy my stock
you know that l can't buy your
stock"
"Then I'll sell wherever 1 can. I've
been stung, and l want my money.
Only, remember, l offered the stock to
you first.''
you've got a swell chance to make
a turn in Kalvik," said Fraser. why
don't you take it to Marsh?'
Il Will" declared Alton.
"You wouldn't do a trick like thaty'
Emerson questioned quickly.
"Why not? You won't listen to my
advice. You're playing with other peo-
pies money, and it doesn't matter to
you whether you win or lose. If this
enterprise fails l suppose you can pro-
mote another"
"Get out! Boyd ordered, in such a
tone that the speaker obeyed with ludi-
crous haste.
"Did you know Cherry before you
| came to Kalvik?" Boyd asked, search
ing his companions face with loOl;
the man could not evade.
"Only casual"
"Where?"
"Nome-the year of the big rush"
"During the mining troubles, eh?"
"Sure.''
"What was she doing?'
Winding her business. She's good at
that" F'raser's eyes had become green
and fishy, as usual.
"What do you know about her?'
"Well, l know that 4 lot of fellows
would go through for her at the drop
| of hat. She could have most any
| thing they've got, l guess. Most any
| of them miners at Nome would give
his right eye or his only child, or any
little thing like that, if she asked it."
"What else?"
"Well, she was always considered a
RIGHT good looking party
YES, yes: Of course. But what dc
you know aboUt the girl herself? Who
is she? What is her history?''
"Now, sir, I'm an awful poor detcc
tive" confessed "Fingerless" Fraser

FIGHTING INSECT PESTS
AND PLANT DISEASES

AZ this time fruit growers,
gardeners and truckers are be
ginning To dread the ravages of
insects and diseases of their
crops. Ii is estimated that a
single insect-the Cooling Moth
causes a loss of nearly a mil
lion dollars a year To Virginia
fruit growers. Right now the
striped beetle is destroying
thousands of plants of cucum-
bers and melons; the fire blight
Is blasting the twigs of apple,
pear and ounce; beans are be-
ginning TO rust and so on
down the list.
\ little later will come the
currant worm, the leaf spot, the
/ potato bug and a host of greater
or lesser pests. However free
from all these troubles crops
we're fifty years ago, as our
athers relate, the fruit grower
and trucker of today must wage
constant warfare against them.

Insect Pests and Diseases" by
