In proof OF this the officer called at

at work in the garden setting uprooted
plants back into the earth.

the officer, that, although the house
is so admirably suited for staff pur-
poses, we will find another If you de-
sire"
He was too polite and too consid-
crate in his attitude for Marta not to
meet him in the same spirit.

indecision.

Her head dropped lower, in appar'

took counsel with herself. She was

subtly understood, held her attention.

Stransky had thrown Pilzer over the
parapet. He saw the glance arrested
and focused on the flag of the Grays
which was floating from a staff on the
outskirts of the town, and slowly
glowingly. the light ripping on its
folds was reflected in her face.

SOIL EROSION IN THE SOUTH
Other Crops Must Be Grown Than
Those Requiring Clean Culture.
a. Do Cotton and Tobacco.

The following statement regarding
soil erosion in the South is taken from
the annual report Of the bureau OF
soils of the department:
In a study of soil erosion In the
South it has been found that large
areas are lost to agriculture annually
through erosion. In some states vast
areas, amounting to as much as "
per cent of the arabic land OF thess
sections, have been abandoned. The
character of the erosion varies win
the type Of soil. Usually, on the
heavy clay soils, sheet" or surface
erosion is found. With increasing
proportion of sand in the soil the erc
sion changes to the "shoestring' typo
then to the gully type, with rounds
edges, and finally to the gullies win
caving sides. The most rapid erosion
seems to occur in soils having a layer
of silt or clay at the surface and .
.substratum of sand. This condition
usually leads to erosion OF the deep
gully type, which Is difficult 10 cnecA
and Improbable to reclaim.

CHAPTER XIV.
Tea on the veranda AGAIN.

1t was more irritating than ever for
Mrs. Galland to keep pace with her
daughters Inconsistencies. Here was
Marta saying coolly:
Unto Caesar the things that are
Caesar's! We have our property, our
home to protect. Perhaps the Grays
have come to stay for good, so
graciousness is our only weapon. We
cannot fight a whole army single
handed"
You have found that out, Marta %
said Mrs. Galland.
I'VE have four rooms in the baron's
tower and kitchen stove" Marta pro-
ceeded. With Minna we can make
ourselves very comfortable and leave
the house to the staff"
THE Gallands in their gardeners
quarters! The staff of the Grays in
ours! Your father will turn in his
gravel" Mrs. Galland exclaimed.
But, mother. 1t is not quite agree
able to think Of three women living
in the same house with a score OF
strange men!" Marta persisted.
Il had not thought of that, Marta
OF course. It would be abominable! .
agreed Mrs. Galland, promptly capitu
lating where point Of propriety was
involved.
When Marta informed the officer
the same one who had rung the door
bell on his second visit-of the family's
decision he appeared shocked at the
idea Of eviction that was implied. But
secretly pleased at the turn Of events
he FASTENED to apologize for wars
brutal necessities, and Marta's com
plaisance led him to consider himself
something of diplomatist. Yes, more
than ever he was convinced of the
wisdom Of an invader ringing door
bells.
Meanwhile, the service-corps meI
had continued their work until now
there was no vestige Of war in the
grounds that labor could obliterate;
and masons had come to repair the
walls of the house itself and plasterers
to renew the broken ceilings.
all this Marta regarded in a kind
Of charmed wonder that an invader
could be so considerate Her manner
with the officers in charge of prepare
tons had the simplicity and ease
which woman of twenty-seven, who
is not old-maidish because she is not
afraid Of single future, may employ
as serene hostess. She frequently
asked il there were good news.
YES" was the uniform reply. An
unexpected setback here or resistance
there, but progress, nevertheless. But
she learned, too, that the first two
