Grigsby's heart lightened, and he
became almost gay, ordering much
drink. And for an hour the two men
sat there, waiting and smoking, and
drinking whisky-Jennings bourbon
and Grigsby rye-and were content.
Though every time the yowl of loco
motive was borne to him on the cold,
wet night, Grigsby jerked out his
watch. And once he started at short
knock on the door, but it was only
Mendenhall
After midnight Grigsby's anxiety
deepened, and he ceased to pay atten-
tion to Jennings stories of politics
down in southern Eellinoy," stories
about Don Morrison and John A. Lo-
gan. At twelve-forty he rose and trod
the floor, but Jennings long form was
stretched out before the fire, his
whisky glass was at his elbow, and he
said from time to time:
"Oh, fer Gods sake, Bill, set down
they'll be long all right"
Isn't that the Wabash?" said
Grigsby, cooking his head at the night

was growing mellow, "on'y whistles I

Grigsby looked at his watch. 1t was
ten minutes of one, and just as he
dolefully announced the hour the door
opened, and Hennessey entered, car
rying leather travelling bag. Grigsby
leaped toward. him, his itching fingers
outstretched to seize the valise.
rs it all there?" he exclaimed.
Take me for thief?" replied Hen
nessey, swinging the'bag behind him.
Hennessey proffered the bag to his
master, but Jennings said:
wait minute" Then he ran his
hand wrist-deep into his pocket and
| drew out a paper which he examined
critically, squirting his eyes, partly to
protect them from the smoke that
curied up from big domestic cigar,
partly-as it seemed, to assist in the
concentration of his thoughts.

Grigsby laughed ironically.

Grigsby shook his head.
"How's your quo 'arranto proceed

1T isn't ripe yet" said Grigsby,
''and, anyhow, there isn't time. Damn

and striking his knee with his fist,
''it's got to be done now, tonight, or
I'm lost. The governor, under the law,

healthy red, and then added stretching

Sure" said the secretary of state
carelessly, and then knitted his brows
again. After few minutes he said:

cluded, with good-humored chuckle.

shook his head.

Leonard is only four years old, but
he frequently uses expressions amaz-
ingly mature. The other day, for in
stance, he appealed to devoted
young aunt to remove from his sphere
of existence the new little baby sis
ter of whom he had become jealous.
The tiny lad was at some pains to
explain that while he didn't want baby
himself, she was so sweet and dear
that plenty of other people would.
"But why don't you want to keep
her, Leonardo" asked auntie, divided
between surprise and amusement.
ooh, she's such bother, an NAM
ma has to fuss with her so much, an
she makes me just suffer-" the young
ster gravely explained.

Grigsby colored.
Jennings brow was gathered once
more in wrinkles that indicated
thought. His face rapidly assumed an
expression of determination. Present
ly he rose.

somethin' fer you l wouldn't do fer

Grigsby raised an appealing, yearn-

"Yes," said Grigsby, and his e1-
preston, expectant and hopeful a mo-

we've got to have it now, tonight, II

THE RIGHT SOAP FOR BABY'S
SKIN

In the care Of baby's skin and hair,
Cuticura Soap is the mothers IA
vorite. Not only is it unrivaled in
purity and refreshing fragrance, but
its gentle emollient properties are
usually sufficient to allay minor irri-
tations, remove redness, roughness
and chafing, soothe sensitive condi-
tons, and promote skin and hair
health generally. Assisted by Cuti-
cura Ointment, it is most valuable in
the treatment Of eczemas, rashes and
itching, burning infantile eruptions.
Cuticura Soap wears to a wafer, often
outlasting several cakes of ordinary
soap and making it's use most eco
nomical.

PecanS' Golden
Profits

Not only may grapes, fruits OF
various kinds, vegetables and all
food crops be grown with unusual
success in Brandywine, but 1t is

can growing.
In Georgia and in Texas for
tunes have been made in the last
fifteen years on pecan groves and
this will be the case III Brandy
wine, as rich annual returns will
be produced by acreage planted in
pecans, natures hardest off
spring, after the trees come into
bearing.
Sensible calculation, based on
the special bulletins of the state
agricultural department, shows
10 acres planted in pecans in
Brandywine will net from $4,000
to $4,000 per annum after the
tenth year, when pecan trees be
gin bearing fully.
However, some returns will be
secured the third and fourth
years, and on to the tenth year,
with a steady increase each year.
At the same time, while the young
pecan trees are growing, truck
gardening and berry growing
may be undertaken in order to, Sc
cure immediate returns.
1t is hard to believe, but if you
purchase an interest in Brandy
wine, these facts will benefit you
as well as any other person, as
pecans may be planted with small
expense and only reasonable care
is required in cultivation.
Ten acres planted in young
trees may be made Immediately
productive by trucking or garden
ing, and after the third year, as
the nuts mature, the proceeds
from their sale may be net profit.
1t is wholly true that after the
ten years required to attain full
growth a grove of pecans will net
the richest returns known to
horticulturists.

Do You Think
The World Owes

E If man will work one-half as hard on ten acre
farm in Brandywine as he does employe in an Of
flee, factory store, he make twice as much.
He can truly gain financial independence; the goal
of every ambitious man-secure home where health,
happiness and freedom are as sure as his income
The high cost of food and the miscellaneous
penses of congested city life lap every cent the aver
age man can possibly make wholey without enjoyment
You have seen but little of the outdoor life which all
normal humans crave.
If you only gained living from farm in Brandy
wine you would be better off, for you have had full
measure of health and happiness
But on ten acres say, in Brandywine you do
more than that with brain and Drawn garner
that living which the world to every striving

There are any number of things which can be made
to produce from $500 to $4,000 per ten in
Brandywne with the proper care, cultivation and at
tention
Pecans which take several years to bear fully will
most certainly do it. There people today planting
ten and twenty tracts in pecans who know when the
trees into full bearing ten years from now, for
that is the period required for their highest bearing
their future is assured with rich competence.
Grapes grow especially we'll in Brandywine; it being

The California varieties grow large and with better
flavor than in the west Ten in grapes in Brandy
wine planted at reasonable cost, with truck and
crops actively cultivated while the grapes maturing
are simply sure produce close $4,000 each year after
they come into full bearing with proper care.
The same may be said of peaches, apples and pears,
of Strawberries and both canteoupes and watermeons
while all of the cereals both Irish and sweet potatoes
