says the diffcdcnco in the pro-

that better crops could be raised in

day it came at times with a little
singing pain.
Bert brought to see her an old
friend, a college ChUm, Jack Fisher
by name. He had lately entered the
law firm that was administering the
heirs. He became interested in the
girl and called occasionally on a pre-
text of business. On one of these Oc-
casiOns Grace told him what she haG
overheard at the tea. She wondered
the next moment why she had made

was beginning to be overweight,

that Fleming might me influenced by

Fisher stood up stOUtly for his

The advice, if slangy, was good,
and Grace tried to follow it, but Jack

some rather painful complications.

she said quietly: wei l suppose I

Two days after this, Fisher called
Grace on the telephone and asked if
she would see him. On receiving an
affirmative answer he lost no time In
