from home all day, when evening came
I wanted to stay at home and be alone,
and my idea of having a good time
was to sit browsing with pipe and pa
per with my pretty wife across the
library table from me. 1 didn't even
want to talk, because in the quiet of
such evenings I could think out busi-
ness propositions and make plans for
future deals.
Never Thought Of Her.
'I never considered my wife at all
I never thought once that while I was
meeting all sorts of interesting people
in my business. her business as a
hOusekeeper kept her shut up in the
four walls of her home where she saw
nobody, and that while my business
was continually Offering new PROPOSE
tons, her business of house work was
as mOnotonous as a tread-mill, and that
while I might not need any change and
diversion in the evening she did.
Therefore, when she proposed the

ering his cOmposure. "Only 1 guess
it's a hard place for a girl"
He had recalled in a flash that he
had heard business acquaintance
mention the fact that Crandall-Of
whom he had spoken in uncompliment-
airy terms-had a large interest in sew
eral barber shops, among others, the
Cairo.
CHAPTER L.
Joe Browns manner was preoccupied
as he babe Nellie Benson goodnight He
had many things on his mind, and they
thrust out other considerations. Yet
he thanked his hostess politely for her
invitation to come in soon"
I'll be here to see you all again be-
fore long," he promised.
Whats the matter with comm sun
day night?" Nellie asked. Helen and
Gracell be home then"
There was a CLEAN Of mischief in her
eyes that made him suspect that some
one besides Helen and Grace would be
there On the chance that his suspi-
ciOns might be correct he accepted
promptly. All right" he said. You're
very kind, and I'll be glad to drop in"
II you care to you can come to sup

ran downstairs.

he chided himself for faucying that

happiness-for ne would hate to be dis
appointed.
Decides Fanny Is a Fine Girl.
Brave girl! Fine, noble girl! He
thrilled as he thought of her princi-
pies and what she had endured for
them. Crandal had seen her yesterday
on the Drive and had pleaded with her
to set aside her scruples. How mag
nificenuly she had defied him as she
spranE to her feet and facer him! All
that was the kind of woman a man
could love!' Joe thanked the kind fates
that had brought him her way just in
time to save her from that ours bru-
tally.
It was past midnight before the
dreaming lover went home that night
yet the hours had passed on wings as
ne walked the pTosaic streets, sur
runded by a mental atmosphere of poe
try and beauty. The story OF the poor
little housemaid seemed to him like
wonderful romance such as he had read
when he was a boy. But in it he did
not figure as the Prince Charming who
would release her from the spell Of
poverty that bound her, but only as a
commonplace working man unworthy
her regard, yet longing to make him
self worthy of her, counting il the
highest honor in the world to be al
lowed to love her and work for her.
1t was not to be expected, he told
himself that Fanny would care for
him at first, but he would strive to
win her respect, and, perhaps, some
time she might get to care for him a
little.
Her Hated Task.
Love is sure it can compel all things
to do its bidding. And if not-well,
never mind. as long as love remained.
Fanny, discouraged, disheartened,
tolled on at the task she hated.
Looking back it seemed as If years had
passed since she had been happy. She
tried to do her duties well, but her
heart was not in them Again and
again she thought Of Joe Browns be-

strong he was, how upright. how al

She did not think of Joe Brown

She took it to her room before open

be alone and secure from observation

fastened to the stems of the beautiful
sweet peas, revealed by the removal of
the tissue paper. and she opened It
eagerly. The enclosed card bore the

GROWER SAYS VALLEY
EXCEEDS THE SOUTH
AS COTTON COUNTRY

Impressed with the potentialities of
Imperial Valley and the delta coun-
try below the line as a cotton pro-
ducing country which, he says, pro-
duces one-third more cotton than
does the best delta country in the
Mississippi valley, J. A. johnson of
Osceola, Ark, came to Ell Centre
several days ago with the intention
of entering the cotton industry here.
81 never saw country which
classes with this ss cotton producer"
Mr.. Johnson declared. Il have been
raising cotton for number of years
in the Mississippi delta country, but
the output there rer acre falls way
short of the Imperial Valley produc-
tion per acre.
"Then, too, there are none of the
unfavorable climatic conditions here
which the Southern cotton grower has
to contend with. One year, when the
cotton season was about at it's height
IN Arkansas, ram which lasted three
weeks practically destroyed the staple
and diminished the production consd-
erably. Out here | am told such
thing has never happened.
aside from the fact that the pro-
duction here is about one-third more
to the acre than can be produced in
the South, the cost of picking is near
ly 90 per cent less. Why, this coun-
try is even better than Arizona for
cotton, although the climatic condi-
tions are much the same.
Il spent week at Tempe, where
there was considerable acreage de-
voted to Egyptian cotton, and the pro-
duction was only half bale to the
acre. On one cotton ranch across the
