 Thomas Brigden, vice president of the Sixth district, reported good progress in fruit-growing in his district
 A discussion arose during the afternoon on peach-growing and frost risk. The value of the orchard heater was suggest ed, and G. H. Potter of Haleyville said that fires of old waste wood in the orchard will save the fruit in any frost that falls in this section.

you took It."
She did as he asked without further
demur. and he went away. When she
was left alone, the girl added fresh
sticks to the fire, and then, in default
of any more active occupation, took
up the red-bound book which lay be-
side her and began once more to Pc
ruse Its pages. She had by no means
,, exhausted them. In her reading OF
the night before, she had skipped the
pages Of scientific description for
those parts of the journal which were
most purely personal. Even now the
whole pages of carefully tabulated
data concerning the winds. currents,
temperature, and magnetic variations
got scant attention. In her present
mood the homeliest little adventure,
the idlest diversion of winters day
meant more to her than all her IA
thers discoveries put together. When
she saw Cayley coming back toward
her across the ice. she put the book
down half reluctantly.
Evidently his quest for breakfast
had not been in vain; he had a big

II didn't She killed herself. She

to keeping the real Significance of the

She had turned to him quite casual
