much in this style and is extremely smart.
The skirt is straight and narrow, trimmed
with small crochet buttons at each side
of a panel at the back; there can also
be a panel in front if more becoming.
The jacket is loose and straight and quite
short. There are touches of white on the
sleeves to match the lining of the band,
and many small buttons trim sleeves and

scarfs at the Bargainilla. Jefferson
Jones, once their efficient hireling,
was marching in the great army of
the down-and-out, and waiting for a
chance at Opportunities back door.

relief and suspicion. He even failed,

1t was changed Jefferson who
peered at his reflection in the wry
mirror Of his hall room. With touch
of his old pride the youth seized
brush and comb and carefully worked
his thick hair into part. The black
of this contrasted strangely with his
blue eyes and red-touched cheeks. JEFF

was no wonder that, with his easy
carriage and broad shoulders, Janet
Milton loved him. A photograph of
her stood on the dingy dresser, and
Jefferson turned to gaze admiringly at
this before descending.
The picture was done by one of the
best artists in the city. One keen at

1t was then that Jefferson Jones had

She was there still. There would

thrill Jefferson with single word as
could this maid.

THE TURN OF
THE DIE
BY STARBUCk BAXTER

AS Jefferson Jones entered his
boarding house, his landlady, who had
evidently been waiting for him, step
ped forward and tapped him on the
arm.
Jones turned, and hastily formulat-

stepped to stare, surprised. In the
claw-like hand extended toward him,
were two bills-$10 bills I'D the

Jones gasped. After a slight pres
sure his landlady withdrew her flesh
less digits from the clammy palm of
the youth and vanished into her own
parlor.
Jones had reason to gasp. He, I'M

weeks board, and no later than this
morning he had been told that that

RAPE A GREAT FORAGE CROP
Can Hardly Be Surpassed as Pasture
and SoiIing Crop-As Good as
Glover in Feeding Value.

Rape Is now grown as generally as
1t should be. 1t can hardly be sur.
passed as pasture and soiling crop
for hogs and sheep, or even for
horses and cattle, especially when a
! qufck-growfng, annual crop is de-
sired.
1t offers summer and fall pasture OF
the highest order with spring seed
ing, something that can be claimed
for very few other plants. 1t can be
grown on almost any soil that will
produce a good crop or roots, and
can be depended upon to furnish very
heavy yield of most excellent food
In feeding value 1t Is as good as
clover, and can be used for either
growing or fattening purposes with
success. Rape is feed that stock
like exceedingly well after they have
once become accustomed to 1t, and
the results from its use are pleasing.
1t can be sown any time after
spring weather has permanently ar.
rived, as early as any of the grain
crops, and thereafter until the end of
summer.
The wide range of seeding allows
almost continued soiling from this
one crop from early summer until the
end of autumn.
The plant usually requires from
eight to ten weeks to complete its
growth.
1t may be fed or pastured as soon
as its development will justify, and
