It was ten o'clock on a morning in
early autumn when Gerry finally got
free Of the freighter and took the ferry
for the other side of the river. He had
left all his baggage to be delivered at
the house later. The morning was
clear but sultry. In the city the apathy
Of summer days had settled down.
People glanced at Gerry's heavy
tweeds and antiquated hat but they
did not smile, for Gerry himself was
such a sight as makes men forget
clothes. The tan. of his lean face, the
swing of his big, unpadded shoulders,
his clear eyes, carried the thoughts of
passers-by away from clothes and city
things. They seemed to catch breath
Of spicy winds from the worn garments
that clung to the strangers virile' body
and in his eyes they saw a mirage of
far-away places.
As Gerry reached his own house,
he was outwardly calm, even DELHI

rent of words that tried their best to
be harsh and failed. From around the
obstructing house came an old darky.
When his eyes fell on the Barbadian
he rushed forward. "Lor, Misteh NAL
colin, when did yo' get back"
Just now, Charles" said thc Barba-
dian. whats the matter here2"
The darky's eyes rolled. "Mattah,
Misteh Malcolm? Why. that ole Cum

simontous that he requires me to pay
rent TO havin' ma house on his lam,
SO I says to ole nanny. we'll jes'
move this here residence or to a gentle
mans lam, and Misteh Malcolr men
nanny n the chile are jes' a-movin'
1t on to yo' old cane fier."
/. The Barbadian laughed little dryly
and shrugged his shoulders. The driver
got down, protesting, and helped the
family carry the house across the road.
Then the cab went on and soon turned
up an avenue under a fiery canopy Of
acacia fiamboyante.
As they progressed, thick. twining
growths, spangled with brilliant
grew cool but heavy with scents and
the full-havored spice of tropical gar
den under blazing sun.
The air made Gerry dreamy. He
woke with a start when the Barbadian
said to the cabman. "This will do.
You needn't drive in. Wait here"
The cab stopped. Just ahead was
the ruin of a great gate. The two pill
lars still stood, but they were almost
entirely hidden by vines. To one of
them clung the rusted vestige of a
gate. Beyond the pillars there was a
winding way. Once 1t had been a
road continuation of the avenue, now
1t was but tunnel through the dense
ly crowded foliage. Along the center
of the tunnel was a narrow path.
Even 1t was overgrown. The Barba-
dian led Gerry down the path.
They came out under a grove Of
mighty trees whose dense shade had
kept down the underground. and be-
yond the trees Gerry saw n vast, ir
regular mound of vines. with which
mingled giant geraniums. climbing
fuchsias, honeysuckle and rose. Then
he spied broad flight of marble steps;
at one end of them an old moss-grown
urn, at the other. its fallen, broken
counterpart Above the mound rose
the roof of house; through the vines,
as the two drew nearer. appeared shut
tered windows and door, yelled with
creepers.
The Barbadian went up the steps
and tore the creepers away from the

crate, but inwardly he was fighting
down a turmoil of emotions. What was
he to find in Alix? Had he anything to
give in exchange? Had he too much?
He climbed the steps slowly. His
hand trembled as he reached out to
raise the heavy bronze knocker. Be-
fore his fingers could seize it, the door
swung softly inward. Old John bowed
before him. For a moment Gerry
stood dazed. The naturalness of that
open door. of the old butler, of the cool
shadows in the old familiar hall, struck
straight at his heart with the shrewd
poignancy of simple things. Old John
raised n smiling face to greet him but
down one wrinkled cheek crawled q
surprised tear.
Gerry held out his hand. "How do
you do, John?"
II am very well today. SIR" said
John. Mrs. Gerry Is in the library.
She told me to telephone to the club
and il you were there to say she
wished to see you"
Gerry was puzzled. Why should AIix
think he would go to the club? He
handed the butler his old hat and
strobe to the library door. The door
was closed. Somebody said, Come
in" The words We're so low he hardly
heard them. He opened the door,
stepped inside and closed 1t behind
him.
Alix, dressed in filmy blue and
white housegown, stood in the middle
OF the room. With one hand upraised,
the other outstretched. she seemed to
be poised, equally ready for advance
or flight. Her eyes passed swiftly
over Gerry's face, swept searching
down to his feet and back again to his
face. For weeks she had been wonder
ing. Terrible things had come to her
mind. Alan and Gerry with his heart
less note. had conspired to mystify, to
terrify her. All the joy she had looked
forward to in Gerry's homecoming
had turned into a bitter pain. They
had not known on the hill how she was
suffering. Only Kemp had seemed to
understand little and had brought
his drop of comfort to her.
As her eyes searched Gerry the sense
of impending calamity left her. He
was well, well as she had never seen
him before. Except for that he seemed
almost weirdly familiar, as though
only good nights sleep lay between
him and the morning of three year,
ago when he had bullied her until she
had fought back and overwhelmed
him.
A hundred little differences went to
make up this solitary change. The flush
of too many drinks had given way to a
deep healthy glow, the eyes were deep
and grave instead Of deep and vacant,
the broad shoulders that had taken to
hanging were braced in unconscious
strength. Every line in the body that
she had seen start on the road to gross
ness had been fined down. The body
was no longer n mere abode for lin
gering spirit. 1t had become a mecha-
nism, tuned to expression In action 1t
was not the body of time-server.
Alan's sole word of comfort came back
to her. 81 never thought the old Rock
would ever loom SO Big" What force

door. Then he drew from his pocket
an enormous key. With a rasp the
lock turned and the door opened, let
ting a bar of light into wide, cool
hall.
Gerry followed the Barbadian
through the hall to a broad veranda at
the back of the house. A large living
room faced on to the veranda. The
Barbadian entered 1t, opened the
French door-windows and, dusting off
two lounge chairs. invited Gerry to sit
down.
Gerry looked around curlously. The
living room was comfortably fur
nished. There were one or two excel

curtains, creamy with age: a wonder

COST OF KEEPING y
THE BREEDING cows
Winterlng on sIlage and cottonseed
MeaI--Summerl on Pasture.

(By C. D. Lowe, Division of Extension.
University of Tennessee.)
Twenty-head of registered beef cows
were used in recent three-year en-.
pertinent at the Pennsylvania Expert.
ment Station. They were fed for a
period of 14O days during the winter
on silage and cottonseed meal. They
consumed on the average approximate
ly so pounds of silage and one pound
OF cottonseed meal per head daily.
During this period they gained in
weight an average of over one pound
per day per head.
The silage was fed twice per day
and the meal once. These cows were
allowed to run loose in well-bedded
open shed, with free access to water.
It required four tons of silage to win
ter each COW. which at rate Of $3.50
per ton would make silage for each
COW cost $1,000.
The cottonseed meal at $4,000 per
ton would cost per COW about $500
for the winter.
Total cost of feed per cow was then
$1,000 for l4O days.
Il is interesting to note that nearly
five tons of manure was produced by
each COW during the period. which at
$500 per ton would be worth $1,000.
Also each cow gained in weight 1874
pounds, which at 5 cents per pound
would be worth $500, but OF course
this Is of no value unless the animal
was marketed, excepting that 1t In.
sures that the cow goes on grass in
good condition.
When these cows were turned on
grass in the spring they continued to
make satisfactory daily gains, indicat.
ing that silage, even when fed in rath.
er large quantities, is In no manner In.
furious.
This experiment was carried on for
a period of three years and the re-
suits noted here are an average of the
three seasons totals. The whole ex.
pertinent was carried out as nearly as
possible like ON the average farm. so
that no doubt the results can be dupli.
Gated there.
Pasturage was charged against each
COW at $3.50 per summer. making an
average yearly feed bill Of $3.50. The
pasture land was valued at $4,000 per
acre.
These cows were regular and salts
factory breeders during this period,
showing that conditions were favora.
BILE to the purpose Of the plan.
Such experiments give fair idea Of
feed costs on beef breeding herd and
are an interesting study.

Cut Your Store Bill
Down One Half

Tens of thousands of farmers as well as
town and city folks cut down their store
bills one-half last year and saved money
IN spite of generally short crops and re-
duced wages.
Absolutely millions of dollars were
saved and countless families lived better
than ever before in the face of the cotton
crisis and general business depression.
How were these burdensome store bills
cut down? By the real money-saving
power of good home gardens, rightly
planted and kept planted and tended
through the season.
Hastings 1916 Seed Catalogue tells how
to cut store bills down; tells about gar

WHY PRINCE ALBERT WINS.
Patented Process Is Responsible
for Its international Popularity

Smokers so much appreciate thu
flavor and GOODNESS and aroma Of
Prince Albert pipe and cigarette to
bacco that they often marvel thai
this one brand could be so different
from all others.
The answer to this question is to be
found on the reverse side of every
Prince Albert package, where you
will read: process Patented July
3Oth, 1907" That tells the whole
story. Prince Albert is made by a
patented process that cuts out the
bite and parch, which makes the to-
bacco so mighty agreeable and salts
flying to men Of every taste Of every
civilized nation on the globe.
Smokers should realize that this
patented process cost three years con-
tinuous work and study and fortune
in money to perfect. But the result
has proven to be worth all that was
expended upon it, because it has set
free men who believed they never
could enjoy pipe or a makin's ciga-
rette.
Prince Albert makes it possible for
every man to smoke pipe or to roll
his own cigarettes. And, no matter
how tender the tongue, Prince Albert
cannot bite or parch. This is cut
out by the patented process, leaving
for the smoker only the joys of the
fragrant tobacco.
1t is a fact that since Prince Al
bert arrived" just about six years
ago. it has made three men smoke
pipes where one smoked pipe beforel
