James X. Keene, who is noted no
less as horseman than as finarcier.
said at a luncheon at his Cedarhurst
residence:
MY love Of horses has been a great
comfort to me all my life. I have al

Successful Fruit Growers.

A composite OF the practises of a
number OF the most successful fruit
growers results as follows: Use the
turning pillow In the spring, each year
or often enough to prevent the ground
from becoming hard Follow the pillow
with harrow or disk If lumpy and
this with the smoothing harrow. Some
use a float instead of the harrow
The subsequent cultivation consists
in going over the ground often enough
to prevent crust from forming and
to keep the weeds down This neces-
states cultivation after each irriga-
ton and after rains.

as he was by the a%mputation of a great
hope. Shayne had meant everything
that might make or mar his life; and
he had defied and angered him IRENE

had struck S~ilberberg's thiek-lipped
mouth-and that was worth much. He
had had another meeting with the
nameless niece; she had stood by him
against her uncle and Silberberg, who
was a great figure and a sutton for her
favor. These were unavailable assets

white face of Shayne's niece, pleading
against his foolhardiness, as he leaped
from the aeronat, and. spurning her
deck in youthful Indignation, shot
downward into the cloud. Her one arm
was about the aluminium stanchion, it's
hand IN her breast, the other to her
hat. She had changed the flowery
bonnet for a little bycocket
of bottle-green velvet, brooded
over by a graceful plume, and
worn with the point over her eyes. the
t~urned-up brim behind. and the sharp
crown ffattened over like the top of a
mountain struck while plastic by a
huge paddle. tHe could see it all, the
