the stunted trees rustic seat overlooking
the water.
At such an hour, long after midnight,
the last pollard oak marks the Ultima
Thule of Pont Aven. The nearest house
in front is nearly mile away, and reached
only by narrow track through the gorse.
Some vague terror caused lngersoll to
quicken his pace, and few seconds later
to break into a run. Perhaps his wife
heard him, and, fearing interference, made
up her mind to delay the great adventure
not a moment longer. uttering wailing
cry, she threw herself into the water. The
tide was falling, and she was swept away
as though some giant hand were waiting
to clutch her.
lngersoll raced ahead to rocky plateau
which, although submerged now, drove q
broad and fairly level callseway far into
the center of the river. He was Just in
time. He saw white face, a hand, whirl-
ing in the current. Plunging in, he grasped
desperately at the place where he judged
the body might be. Then began a fight,
a life and death struggle against a relent-
less, overwhelming force. Yet somehow
he conquered, and found himself. with a
limp body in his arms, wading knee deep
in tract of mud and slime.
Though slightly built and frai looking,
and, owing to the worry and confinement
of his recent life, rather out of condition,
once he had regained his breath he made
light of carrying his wife to the cottage.
None of Mere Pitous guests knew that
Mrs Carmac had been rescued from the
estuary. They thought she had mistaken
some byway, and fallen into the Aven,
quite possible accident to stranger on
dark night.
so a second time Yvonne stripped her
mothers slender form of its water
soaked garments, while Mere Pitou loudly
invoked the aid and commiseration of
various saints-but did not forget to fill
hot-water bottles and wrap them in fan

in the midst of all this tur-

Celeste, searching for her
mistress, and almost inco-
herent with her story of
Rupert Fosdyke's fate. He
had arrived in the village by
the half-past four train that
afternoon, and after a long
talk with Madame had dined
alone. She was told that
he went out shortly before
midnight, and met Peridot,
and was straightway beaten
to death.

"The man who has loved
you all his life, Dear" said
the girl softly. She had the
fixed belief now that her
mother would surely die, and
was resolved that her last
hours should be made hap

husbands devotion.
"What! John saved me?
Was it he who followed me?'
"Yes, Dear. He risked his

AS an asticOt is a maggot, it was well
that none but Yvonne had overheard
Mere Pitou's biting comment, or the
fshermans new nickname might have
stuck its point being specially appreciable
in fishing community.
THE weather that night was peculiarly
calm and mild, even for Southern Brit
ANY. Shortly after midnight Ingersoll,
who had been watching Yvonnc and
rollcmache dancing the gavotte, suddenly
decided to smoke a cigar in the open air.
He quilted the studio by French win
dow, and strolled into the garden, which
stretched some little way up the steep
slope of the hill, and through narrow
strip toward the road on one side of the
cottage. Owing to the feast, Pont Aven
was by no means asleep; but the streets
were empty, as the people We're either
entertaining or being entertained. In a
house near the church a girl was singing
the "Adcste fdelcs" in high pure treble.
Ingcrsoll remembered the verse, And
suddenly there was with the angel a null
itude of the heavenly host praising
God and his eyes grew dim with unshed
tears.
Ingcrsoll was about to re6nter the cot
age when woman, hatless, but with
head and face yelled in shawl of black
lace, appeared indistinctly in the road
way. He knew instantly that it was his
wife. Only two women in Pont Avcn
walked with such ease and elegance, and
hey We're Yvonne and her mother.
A second later he heard the familiar
freak of the garden gate. So she was COM
ng in! He was utterly at a loss to ac-
cunt for this amazing intrusion. He had
ounted implicitly on his wife's sense of
God breeding and fairness restraining her
,om any frcnzicd effort to undo the havoc
Of the past, and spasm of anger shook
him now because of this threatened in

At any rate she should not

He reiterated into the deep
shadow of a lofty retaining
wall, whence he could see
without being seen. If, as
he expected, there was a
connection among the dan
,crs when the unexpected
visitor was announced. he
would escape by way of the
open hillside, and remain
away during some hours.
Then. in the morning,
Yvonne and he would end

Why not let the boy join the pig
club movement? Any boy between
the ages of 10 and Is may join. Aside
from the interest the boy will take
in raising the pig, the influence of
proprietorship and value of the con
structive work upon his young life,
he will find a good deal of financial
encouragement. He may obtain
scholarship to the short course given
for boys and girls prize winners, at
the State College of Agriculture,
where he will get an outlook and in
spiration that may mean great things
for him.
The prizes he may win at the coun-
ty and state fairs will not only amount
to considerable sum, but the repu-
tation gained for the animal, il
breeding animal is being used, will
make possible fancy prices for the lit
tiers In fact, the boy may get his
start in life as the result Of joining
the pig club.

provisions means that he must keep

Protecting Orchards
Against Light FrOsts
T. II. Mediation, Professor OF Hort
culture, Georgia State College
OF Agriculture

An orchard can be protected
against light frosts by the smudging
method. For this purpose there are
smudge pots or orchard heaters on
the market. Should these seem too
expensive, a good substitute is afford
ed by making smudge fires of wet
grass, straw, old leaves, prunings,
etc. About 100 small piles can be
placed to an acre, most Of them be.
ing put on the side from which the
wind is blowing. The purpose, Of
course, is to keep the smoke over
the orchard 1t is important that
the smudge fires be used early in the
morning before the sun comes up to
prevent too rapid thawing out of froz-
en- flowers
AS a rule, when the temperature is
SO degrees, and it looks as if the tenn
perature is going hover, start the
smudge fires. 1t can not be expect
ed that this method will save from
severe freezes, but it can be used oc-
casionally with great profit

Boys Profit On
Three Acres, S205.9
j. Phil Campbell, State Agent
Charge of Club Work, Col
Iege OF Agriculture

Maurice Crowder, of Walker eouni
ty. a corn club boy, has demonstrated
that he can make a profit of $285.4S
on three acres in one season. HIS
crops were corn, cotton, oats and SOY
beans. On the acre devoted to corr
he raised 1866 bushels at a profit q
$3.50. Ills cotton acre produced Il
24O pounds of cotton, from which M
made a profit OF, $sG.89. The acre Dc
voted to cats produced 131 IA bushelI
at profit of $3.50. After the oatl
had been gathered, the land was disc
ed and sown to soy beans From thiE
crop he gathered 1864 pounds of drl
hay at a profit of 1854. The tota
profit from the four crops on threE
acres was therefore $2S5.49.
Soy beans, it will be seen, brought
greater returns than any other croI
This crop and the oats preceding
made total profit from one acT
$168.31. Thus it will be seen thd

growing other crops and larger acrf

Georgia Game Laws

Now that the open seasons for a
number Of game birds is approach
ng in Georgia, a list Of the names
Of these birds will be of interest
Only squirrels can be hunted at
this time, but the seasons for the
other game birds are as follows:
The following are the "open sea-
sims" for game birds and ANIMALS in
Georgia:
Quail, commonly known as Bob
White or partridges; doves, wild tur-
key gobblers and plovers, from No
vember 20t March l..
Woodcock, summeror wood duck
December l to January
Deer, October / to December /.
Catsquirrels, August to Januay ] /.
Migratory ducks, September / to
April ~.
The Georgia law gives its sports
men the right to kill migratory
dusks from September LIST to April
10th, but the federal law says that
the open season shall only be from
November Goth to February 10th.
However. as the federal game laws
conflict with the Georgia laws, the
enforcement Of Uncle Sansrules is
scarcely expected.
