Seed corn should be tested three

at least have stuck to the truth.
Helen dropped the ring on the
table between them and Godfrey
stalked from the room, banging the
door behind him.
Helen wanted to laugh and cry at
the same time. She was young and
this was her first broken engagement
1t was a distinctly beautiful but
rather historical girl who turned
when the maid announced Mr.. Noel
Dorian.
You are the picture man" she
said with a catch on her breath.
And you are the picture girl
aren't you?" he asked, for this girl
was far more exquisite than the pho
tograph. This is rather a peculiar
circumstance, Miss Ware. ! hope you

bit like a stranger to you. know
I should, but you see l have had your
picture for seven days and it seems to
have given me the ideea that / am
not exactly a stranger to you"
Helen tapped the floor nervously
with her foot. This situation was
even more difficult than her previous
scene with Geoffy. With her ex-
rance she had been calm; had felt
herself master Of her heart and words
now there was no unusual thump-
ing through her veins and her speech
refused to come at her bidding.
She found that she was holding
out her hand to him. He took It in
his own and Helen knew that she
would always like the touch Of his
hand.

with a sigh OF contentment
one week before Helen had walk

mail. she had been expecting her
pictures from the photographer in
New York so that the large envelope
had not surprised her.
IL was when she was walking
through the sweet-smelling lanes.
on her way home, that she had open
ed the package. Then, not one Of the
three poses for which she herself had
set were there; instead, they were
six pictures OF man; the photo
grapher had made a mistake.
