had nodding acquaintance with her.
It was the girl at the drug store who

Blair's soul. To speak more truly.
she made him a soul In that moment.
She awakened the boy; his collar felt
tight, his cheeks grew hot. He felt
his new boots. too. hard and heavy.
She made him want to cry. These
were the physical sensations-the ma
terial part of the awakening. The rest
went on deeply inside OF Dan. she
broke his heart; then she healed IL.
She made him want to cry like girl;
then she wiped his tears.
The little boy settled back and grew
more comfortable and listened. and
what she sang was,
From Greenland's icy mountains.
From India's coral stra-ands."
Before the hymn reached its end he
was a calm boy again, and the hymn
took up its pictures and became like
an illustrated book Of travels, and he
wanted to see those pea-green peaks
of Greenland. to float upon the Ice
bergs to them, and see the dawn
break on the polar seas as the ex-
plorers do. He should find the
north pole some day! Then he wanted
to go to an African jungle, where the
tiger, tiger shining bright" should
fash his stripes before his eyes! Dan
would gather wreaths of coral from
the stra-ands and give them to the
girl with the yellow hair. When he
and his father came out together from
the church, Dan chose the street that
passed the soda fountain drug store
and peeped in. 1t was dark and cool,
and behind the counter the drug clerk
| mixed the summer drinks; and the
| drug clerk mixed them from that time
| ever afterward-for the girl with the
| yellow hair never showed up In Blair
town again. She went away!

PHYSICIAN ADVISES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

-Four years ago had places break
out on my wrist and on my shin which
would itch and burn by spells, and
scratching them would not seem to
give any relief. When the trouble first
began, my wrist and shin itched Ike

until they would bleed before could
get any relief. Afterwards the places
would scale over, and the flesh un-
derneath would look red and feverish.
Sometimes it would begin to itch until
it would waken me from my sleep,
and I would have to go through the
scratching ordeal again.
Our physician pronounced It dry

the doctor gave me, but it did no good.
Then he advised me to try the Cuti-

been in our family for years, and Is

From the time the eczema healed four
years ago, until now, have never felt

AUTUMN SOWN
RYE VALUABLE
Crop As Hardy and Produces an
Immense Bulk of Material
Before Other Grasses
are Crown.
(By w. r. GILBERT.)

Rye Is not grown on every farm,
but those who have proved its value
as a bulky, succulent green food that
is available In the spring before the
grass grows, treat 1t as an indispensi-
BILE and valuable crop.
Those who do not grow 1t can
have an idea Of this. In the spring
time when they are lamenting the
absence OF new grass. resolutions are
often made to grow some the sue
ceeding year, but when the time ar
rives to SOW the crop the good inten-
tions are forgotten and nothing is
done.
Then when the time comes around
again, as it always does. much regret
is felt that provision was not made
to meet 1t with a good supply of rye.
I would remind all that rye should
now be sown and assert that 1t is
most dependable.
1t Is hardy, always grows. pro
duces an immense bulk Of material
long before any kind of grass affords

In Ordinary Cellar.

Now as the apple breathes In the oxy.

bonic acid, the latter will be absorbed
by the caustic solution while water

Respiration. whether In animals or
in plants. causes destruction Of mat
ter in the cells much like the destruc-
tion of wood In a stove, and the rate
at which this destruction goes on can
be measured by determining the
amount of carbonic acid that Is
breathed out in given length OF
time.
Fruit, after having been picked from
the tree Is In the condition OF starv-
ing animal It's cells still keep up res
piration with nothing in the way OF
food to make good the losses produced
by the action. Since apples and other
fruits have no body heat to maintain.
the breathing process is not so active
as in animals, and they may last
months after being picked from the
tree. Yet there Is a steady. contin-
uous loss in weight as the weeks go
by, although thu fruit Is sound and
firm.
Respiration is partly chemical re-
action, and in apples. like most chem
ical solutions in the laboratory, 1t
grows more rapid as the fruit becomes
warmer, and slowed down when the
| fruit Is cooled.
1t Is frequently the case that warm
days with temperatures Of 70 degrees
| occur late In the fall, and sometimes
| continue for a considerable period
Fancy apples intended for long keep
ing in cold storage should be cooled
as soon as possible and kept cold. The
breathing process Is at the expense OF
cell contents and must weaken the
keeping qualities as it goes on. And
this destructive action is from four tc
six times as fast out Of cold storage
as inside 1t.
Another fact in connection with th'
respiration is important. 1t is no
stopped in cold storage. but simpl!
slowed. Apples cannot be kept In
definitely. but kept about twice as loni
in cold storage as in cool cellar.

The night of the Osdene box party
was the reopening of "Mandalay." and
the curtain went up after the over

Blair had never crossed the pond
before this memorable visit, when he
had gone straight out to Osdene Park.
London theaters and London itself, In
deed, were unexplored by him. he
had seen what there was to be seen
of the opera bouffe in his own coun-

Gaiety he had yet to enjoy.
The opening scene of 'Mandalay" is
oriental; the burst of music and the
tinkling of the silvery temple bells
and the effect of an extremely blue
sea. made Dan "sit up" as he put 1t.
The theatrical picture was SO perfect
that he lifted his head, pushed his
chair back to enjoy. He was thus
close to the duchess. With invigorat-
ing young enthusiasm the boy drew in
his breath and waited to be amused
and to hear. The tunes he already
! knew before the orchestra began to
charm his ear.
On landing at Plymouth Dan had
been keen to feel that he was really
stepping into the world. and at Os

When Lefty Lane appeared Blair
heard a light rustic like rain through

house rose. There was well-bred

she were royalty, there was fiutter-

The respiration of animals Is we'll
know action and the necessity for 1t
IN the living creature is fully appre-
ciated.
The fact that plants and parts OF
plants must also breathe Is not so
commonly understood. Yet all living
cells, whether a part of animal matter
or vegetable matter. must have oxygen
20 keep them alive and they give up
carbon dioxide and water as result
Of the action OF the oxygen on some
Of their contents. Parts OF plants
when cut off from the main stem do
not die at once, and must continue to
breathe. This is true, whether the
severed part Is leafy branch. fruit
or a root; but somc parts live much
longer after removal than others,
and the apple continues to breathe for
many weeks after ii has been picked
from the tree.
The chief products of respiration

called carbonic acid) and water. These
products can be easily shown by plac-

collect into drops which will trickle to
the bottom. On opening the Jar. a

When at length the duchess had sue

room, after tea, she said:

Dan did not reply for second. but

looks. She was certainly better to
y look at than the simple girls with
their big hands, small wits, long faces
and, as the boy expressed 1t. utter
lack of get-up." The duchess shone
out to advantage.

asked softly. You know you would
rather talk to me than the others"

"Oh, about the whole business" he
returned vaguely. You know what l

Then" she said with slight laugh,
"you mean to say you talk to me for
educational purposes? What beast

. Dan did not contradict her. She
was by no means Eve to him, nor was
he the raw recruit his simplicity might
give one to think. He had had his
temptations and his way out of them
was an easy one; for he was very
slow to stir, and back of all was his
ideal. The reality and power of this
ideal Dan knew best at moments like
these. But the Duchess of Breakwater
was the most lovely woman-the
most dangerous woman that had come
his way. He liked her-Dan was we'll
on the way to love.
The two were alone in the big dark
room. At their side the small table,
from which they had taken their tea
together, stood with its empty cups
and its silver. Without, the day was
cold and windy, and the sunset threw
along the panes a red reflection. The
light fell on the Duchess of Breakwa'
ter, something like veil-a crimson
veil slipped over her face and breast
She leaned toward Dan, and between
them there was no more barrier than
the western light. He felt his pulses
beat and a tide rising within him. She
was a delicious emanation, fragrant

Barnwell, June 10.-Owing to the
untiring efforts of Harry D. Calhoun
and Postmaster S. B. Moseley, the
people of Barnwell will no longer be
forced to go to the old frame build
ing on Main street for their mail.
Several weeks ago these gentlemen
put in bid to furnish building to
house the postofice in Barnwell, and
their bid has been approved. These
gentlemen have been on trade with
Frank @. O'Neil, of Charleston, to
have him erect a building on his lot
on Main street adjoining the Home
bank block in case they secured the
contract. Mr.. O'Neil was in town
this week and closed a deal with
local contractor to erect a handsome
modern building, work to commence
Immediately. The furnishings of the
new postof1ice will be of the latest
design, and will include both COM
bination and key lock boxes. This is
another instance of Barnwell's pro-
gressiveness.
