Lydia, he adored her. His heart be
gan for the first time to sing witt
the joy Of youth, and the sensation
was a novel one. 1t had seemed tt
him that he could never be anything

1t was his custom, on coming home
for the night, no matter what the hour

Lydia.
For the past three months or more
he had been privileged to hold her
close in his arms and to kiss her good
night at parting! They were lovers
now. The slow fuse of passion had
reached its end and the flame was
alive and shining with a radiance that
enveloped both of them.
On this night, however, he passed
her door without knocking. His dark.
handsome face was flushed, and his
teeth were set in sullen anger. With
his hand on the knob of his own door,
he suddenly remembered that he had
failed Lydia for the first time, and
stopped. A pang Of shame shot
through him. For a moment he hest
tated and then started guilty toward
the forgotten door. Even as he raised
his hand to sound the loving signal,
the door was opened and Lydia fully
dressed, confronted him. For a mo-

conscious after q misstep in the night.
More than once-aye, more than a
dozen times-one or the other OF these
loyal friends stood between him ana
death, and times without numbers he,
too, turned the grim reaper aside Tor
| them.
John Desmond, gay, handsome and
still young as men Of his kind go, met
the fate that brooks no Intervention.
He was the first to drop out OF the
ranks In Cairo, during curious Pc
Rod of inactivity some ten months
after the advent Of James Brood, he
met the woman who conquered his ven
turesOme spirit-a slim, calm, pretty
| English governess in the employ of a
British admiral's family. They were
married inside of six months. He took
her home to the little Maryland town
that had not seen him in years.
Ten years passed before James
Brood put his foot on the soil Of his
native land. Then he came back to
the home Of his fathers, to the home
that had been desecrated, and with
him came the two old men who now
sat in his huge library before the
cracking fire. He could go on with
life, but they we're no longer fit for
its cruel hardships. His home became
theirs. They were to die there when
the time came.
Brood's son was fifteen years of age
before he knew, even by sight, the
man whom he called father. Up to
the time of the death of his mother,
in the home of her fathers, he had
been kept in seclusion.
There had been deliberate purpose
in the methods of James Brood in so
far as this unhappy child was con.
cerned. When he cast out the mother
he set his hand heavily upon her fu-
ture. Fearing-even feeling-the in
fernal certainty that this child was not
his own, he planned with machiavellian
instinct to hurt her to the limit of his
powers and to the end of her days.
He knew she would hunger for this
baby boy of hers, that her heart could
be broken through him, that her pun
lshment could be made full and com
plete. He sequestered the child in
place where he could not be found,
and went his own way, grimly certain
that he was making her pay! She

Farms To Be Sur
veyed In January

Farmers living in the vicinity
of Middletown, Odessa, Townsend
and Mt. Pleasant, who gave
County Agent L. H. Cooch a state
ment of the receipts and expenses
of their farms last winter, will be
interested to know that he will re-
visit these same farms in Janu-
ary. After the records taken last
winter had been figured out and
returned, practically every one of
the sixty-fve farmers requested
the County Agent to take series
of records extending over a period
of at least five years. 1t will be re-
membered that last year was a
particularly good wheat and corn
year, and as prices for these two
grains were above normal, a re-
cord of one year could not give 4
fair estimate of the farm yields in
this territory. 1t will therefore be
interesting to note the difference
between the incomes secured from
that farming area last year and
in 1915. The records taken last
year showed, for example, that the
average yield of hay for those
sixty-five farms was less than a
ton per acre, and as a direct re-
suit a great deal of alfalfa has
been put out this year.
The farm analysis records en-
abled the County Agent to point
out that timothy and clover had
been raised at a tremendous loss
on most of these farms. Doubt
less this new series of records will
bring to light other conditions
that should be modified in order
to make the Middletown area even
more profitable. With such excel
lent soil, few slight changes in
management would make practic-
ally every farm more productive.
