THE SECRET CLAUSE
BY o r MUNsoN.

John had been compelled to leave
college after his first year, on account
OF his fathers death. His mothers
small annuity was barely sufficient to
support her, 1t was necessary for
John to give US his ambition of becom-
ing a physician-for the present, at
least-and look for a position.
He had answered an advertisement
and had been invited to call. The
world looked very cheerful as he sur
veyed it from his strap in the elevated
train.
He was in the way Of becoming a
business man, John smiled. And the
girl 10 whom he had given up his seat
could not help smiling too. 1t was
not a tirtatious smile-just a happy
one, because Johns happiness infect
ed her, as everyone else who looked
at the well-groomed young fellow
clinging to the strap as the a lurched
and swung round the bend.
In the presidents office nine young
men we're being cross-examined. John
was the tenth. The president put a
few prefunctory questions.
Il shall write today to the man
whom l consider to be best suited"
he announced.
The ten young men filed out Of the
Office. Nine of them, knowing their
individual chances to be small, looked
glum, John was smiling, AS he was
about to leave, the president called
him back.

said. Your name is Barrett. Any

A little girl in Connecticut aged two
and one-half years was allowed to go
to church Christmas Sunday on con-
dillon she would not talk out loud,
but could join in the singing. The
first hymn happened to be, Joy to
the World" sung to "old Antioch"
She recognized the tune and felt her
opportunity had come. But the only
words she associated with that tune
were not the words OF Isaac Watts.
This made no difference and the con-
gregation was oonvulsed to hear a
high childish voice ringing clear above
the voices around her: There was
a man In our town and he vas won
drous wise. He jumped into a bramble
bush and scratched out both his eyes"
Especially effective was the repeat
OF the last line when, instead Of hear
ing And heaven, and heaven and ma

on that night when she had decided
that she must give John up forever.
And it was that uncanny coldness that
engraved the truth on Johns heart.
If he married her he must give up
forever his hopes Of becoming a doc
tor. 1t meant all Johns future. It
meant his mothers happiness. And
she would not sacrifice John to their
love.

heart was broken
John put the situation up to a friend
as an abstract proposition.
g" should advise you'll mean the
man you are telling me Otto see his
lawyer" he said. 1T is often posi-
BILE to anticipate a legacy, and if your
mothers annuity does not cease with
her death the reversion would have a
certain cash value at present. That is
my advice. See your lawyer!"
John got cold comfort from his law
yer. Come back in six months" was
all he would say. I'll see what I can
do then"
And for six dreary months John
waited. He saw Molly each day, but
she passed him now with only a cold
little bow. There was worse to come.
One day, at the end of the six months,
the president called John into his
Office.
We've been hard-hit by the hnan.
cial depression, Barrett" he said.
I'm sorry, but we are laying off all
the men we can do without, and nat
urally we are keeping our Oldest mem
bers."
John understood. He conjured up
his last smile and left the office.
Molly had promised to meet him the
following Sunday to say good-by. On
the Saturday afternoon John went to
his lawyer, flaming with indignation.
He demanded a plain answer to the
proposition he had suggested six
months before.
John" said the lawyer, placing a
hand on either shoulder Of the young
man, your father has been dead just
a year yesterday"
Il know -" John interposed.
John, there was a clause in his will,
known to your mother but not to YOU.
He wanted you to become a man and
to gain knowledge of life. You we're
to leave college in the event Of his
death while you we're there, and take
a position. If, after a year, you were,
In my opinion, worthy of it, you were
to receive entire control of his fortune
of twelve millions"
What" gasped John.
Your father was especially anxious
that you should not make an unhappy
marriage, john" pursued the old man.
Especially that you should not be-
come the victim of an adventures.
He wanted you to find some sweet
girl VINO was ignorant of your wealth.
He thought that, If you did not find
her within the year, at least you would
obtain enough knowledge of the world
to- Where are you going, John?"
I'm going for her!" John shouted.
Stay here till l come back. She lives
ten blocks away and l was to have
seen her tomorrow, but this is one of
those situations that won't wait"

CONTROLLING THE
APPLE r
Means by Which Orchardists
May Rid Their Trees of
This Widespread
Pest.

Washington, D. c., July g..
"Worming" and painting the
trunks of the trees are recon-
mended to owners of apple or
chards as efficient methods of
dealing with the roundheaded
apple-tree borer in a new Far
mers' Bulletin, No. CTS, of the
U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture. A heavy application of
some paint that will not injure
the trees but will remain in an
unbroken coat on the bark for
two or three months, is effective
in preventing the female from
her eggs in the tree, and
greatly reduces the amount of
worming, or the removal of the
insects with a knife and wire,
that must be done.
The roundheaded apple-trer
borer, the most destructive of a
af similar pests, lays its
eggs in or under the bark of APP
pie trees. After Matching the
larvae feed upon the inner bark
and wood to such an extent that
the tree is seriously weakened
or killed. The pest is found over
the whole of the eastern portion
of the United States and as far
west as Nebraska, Kansas and
New Mexico. In addition to
fruit trees, it feeds on service,
wild crab and mountain ash
trees, which makes it advisable
for orchardists to remove these
varieties for a distance of at
least a hundred yards from their
orchard.
The female lays her eggs, one
at a time, in an incision she has
made in the bark, usually Just
above the surface of the ground.
About Is or 20 days later the
eggs hatch and the larvae ap-
pear. When full grown these
are nearly an inch and a half in
length. They first attack the
inner bark, seating out bread,
more or less circular galleries
and thrusting out through small
holes in the bark castings which
form little heaps of reddish
wood fragments around the base
OF the tree. During the winter
the borers are quiescent but
early in the following spring
they attack the solid wood,
while some Of them work their
way up the trunk. These last
spent one more winter in the
tree and then, having passed
through the pupal stage, dig
their way out and emerge as
adult beetles. Three years are
required for the insect to COM
plete its development from egg
to adult.
Ordinarily, the beetle lives a.
bout 40 or so days. 1t is about
three-fourths of an inch in
light brown in color
above, with two broad white
Joined in front, extend
ing the full length of the back
the underparts and front of the
head are white. The females
fly any considerable dis
lance, so hat if the immediate
vicinity Of an orchard can be
free from them, there is
danger of a serious infes-
tation.
The most common method of
Kidding an orchard of these pests
is to cut away the bark sufi-
GENTLY to trace the burrows
made by the borer. A hooked
wire is then inserted into the
burrow and the insect pulled
out. If made with care, the
wound in the tree caused by
this process will heal readily.
The castings at the base of the
tree serve as an indication of
the presence of the borers.
