"She's suffering a little from shock.
I'll leave some quieting powders in
case she can't sleep. You can give
her one at nine and repeat in an
hour If necessary. I'll call in the
morning to dress the arm"
The doctor gone, Helen for the
first time looked up at Warren. He
was strangely white and haggard.
"Oh," family, they frightened you
when they 'phoned."
That's all right-don't think of
me. Does your arm hurt?" still
smoothing the crisp, roughened hair.
Her head moved in denial. not
wanting to admit the pain.
Mrs. Reed, who had been wait;ng
in the other room, came to the door.

He was following her to the door.
Their low murmured voices came
from the hall.
Helen's turmoiled thoughts were
rehearsing the tragedy. The bath
room! What damage had been
done? She had visions of a heavy
repair bill-of the tiled walls and
porcelain tub cracked by the flames.
Warren was again by the bed, but
she did not look up. Just then it
seemed easier to lie there with
closed eyes. Now that they were
alone, she was struggling against a
hysterical desire to burst into tears.
She yearned yet dreaded for him to
comfort her.
There was long silence. He was
holding her hand, stroking slowly
the unbandaged arm. From The
hoofs and the receding rumblipg of
well, Kitten, how about the gas
enough?"
Helen nodded biting her lips to
steadiness. Another silence. Then
she asked, quiveringly:

Setting Bush Fruits.

The extension specialist in fruit
growing Of the New Jersey agricul-
tural experiment station recommends
that raspberry and blackberry plants
should be set about three feet apart in
the row. Six feet is the minimum dis
lance between rows, and blackcap
raspberries and blackberries will often
do better If the rows are seven feet
apart. Such strong growing varieties
of blackberries as Ewing Wonder or
Black Diamond are easier to cultivate
and handle when set at a minimum of
four feet apart in the row. Dewber-
ries are usually set with the rows six
feet apart Currants and gooseberries
should be set four feet apart in the
row, with six feet between rows.
Early planting of bush fruits is very
important. If the buds and shoots are
broken off after starting the second lot
does not develop Immediately and the
plants therefore do not get a good
start The blackcap raspberry re-
quires more care in planting than the
red raspberry or blackberry. because
its roots are developed in a cluster,
similar to those of the strawberry. All
plants bearing root gall, a most de-
structive disease. should be thrown
out.
