Don't Plant Burberry.

Ames, Iowa. April 16.-As one
step in the program of increasing
crop production in this time of spe-
cial need, the botany section OF the
Iowa agricultural experiment station,
following investigation work done
by DR.. |. f. Melhus and l.. S. Durrell,
urges every person in Iowa to re-
frain from planting European bar
berry bushes. 1t is on the barberry
that one stage OF the black stem
rust lives, which caused loss of not
less than $5,000,000 to the cereal
crop of Iowa, chiefly wheat, last year
1t is also urged that all barbery
growing near grain fields be cut out
at once to avoid starting infection.

it would have annoyed her father be-

the engagement broken"
II suppose so. That would be like

The Tomahawk., 1917-08-16

It was a very humble program, not
at all promising or heroic or romantic,
just a beginning. BE would work on
and wait. They say that all things
come to him who waits. That is only
half true. Some things come to him
who waits sometimes. That is more
nearly accurate. Well, he could think
of no better plan. So he babe Win
tiers good-by, swearing him again to
secrecy until he should lift the ban
against speech, and rode away. When
he got to the little village on the
Picket Wire below the dam he
stopped long time gazing at the long
bridge, or viaduct, of steel that was re-
placing the old wooden trestle and
carrying the railroad from the hills
to the eastward over the river.
It was not such an undertaking as
the lost International, still It was in
teresting engineering construction. 1t
was work that would be intensely con-
genial, to which he was drawn almost
irresistibly, yet he managed to hold
himself aloof. The Martlet people were
building this steel bridge and they had
just finished the arch up under the
mesa. A well-known construction COM
pany was building the great earth dam
across the Picket Wire in the valley.
Meade's engineering life had been
spent mainly out of the United States.
He had never been connected with the
Martlet and it's employees until he had
been associated with his father on the
International. He could have gone
among them with little danger of i'm
mediate discovery, since most Of the
men he had known had gone down with
the bridge, but he decided not to do
so. The work on the dam would be
simpler and he would have less oppor-
unity to betray himself and it would
give him more chance to work up In
plausible and reasonable way. Besides,
if Colonel Illingworth came on to in
spect the bridge, as he would probably
do, Meade would have to leave before
his arrival. The dam would be safer.
No one would ever think Of looking for
him there. And no one would ever
recognize in the rough-bearded work
man the clear-cut, smooth-faced young
engineer Of other days.
The dam was twenty miles up the
valley. Yes, he would be less apt to be
observed working there than on the
bridge. Yet as he recalled that pri-
vate car and that it might come there,
he realized that she might be on it.
His heart leaped even as it had leaped
at the sight of the viaduct then build
ing, as it had quivered to the familiar
rat-tat-tat Of the pneumatic riveters
and the clang and the clash Of the
steel. But what was the
use? he would not dare trust himself
to look at her even from distance.
No, it was the dam that best suited his
purpose, so he turned away from the
bridge and rode up the valley. There
he was fortunate in falling into po-
sition, as has been set forth.
The Tomahawk., 1917-08-16
CHAPTER XII.
MarshaIinq the Evidence.

MarshaIinq the Evidence.
For oil her sweetness and light,
Helen Illingworth was lowered with
intense energy and powerful will.
What she began she finished, and she
was not deferred from beginning things
by fears of consequences. She was con-
WINGED that Meade had not told the
truth in that famous declaration in his
fathers Office. She respected him for
his desire to shield his fathers name
and fame even at the expense of his
veracity, albeit she would not have
been a woman If she had not resented
the fact that in so doing he had sacri-
feed her happiness as we'll as his own.
The question whether Meade, Jr.,
was the more responsible or even re-
sponsible at all was more or less
academic to Colonel Illingworth. He
would have had nothing further to do
with either Of them if both were living,
and certainly not with the younger sur
vivor. He tried to believe that If it
had come to final choice the daugh-
ter, in spite of the fact that such is
the habit of women in the experience
of life, would not have given up age
and her father for youth and her lover.
Indeed she was too genuinely devoted
to her father to do that except as a
last resort.
She cherished the hope first, that
Meade could re-establish himsef-she
had too sweeping a confidence In his
character and capacity to doubt that
and second. that It could be shown
that he had not been responsible for
the failure Of the bridge. She was
more and more convinced that his as
sumption Of the blame had been, die
tated by the highest Of motives and
instead of being fit subject for CEN
sure and condemnation, he merited adj
miration and applause. She hoped with
her woman's wit to prove this event
ually, perhaps in spite Of her lover.
and to this end she applied herself as
siduously to solve the problem.
To her, at her request, came Rod
ney. Now the reporters had dealt very
gently with Helen nlingworth. They
had made no announcement Of the en-
gagement or Of it's breaking at her IA
theirs earnest request. There was no
necessity of bringing her into the
bridge story, although it would have
added a dramatic touch to their mar
ratives. Her inclination had been to
avow it. But upon reflection she saw
