 Cowpeas are grown more widely in the cotton region than any other leguminous crop. They are fairly well adapted to all types of soil, when well drained, and they make n good crop for either hay or pasture. Cowpeas are easily grown. and the seed is rel Rtiyely inexpensive. They may be used to occupy the ground as a regular crop, but are also well adapted as a catch crop for pasturage or for green ma nure. When well cultivated. they leave the soil in good condition to harrow without blowing for grain or other crops.
 There are many varieties of cow peas, which vary considerably in hab- Its of growth and time of ripening The Whippoorwill and the Croft are vigorous. upright growers and there fore well adapted for heavy yields of hay.

they take part in getting things ready. This Is also time to let the man of the house use his ingenuity as well as the children, everybody loves to watch meal in preparation especially If all the appointments are pleasing. For the server at the chafing dish table the chair should be high, so that all the stirring and seasoning may be done with ease. The chafing dish should set upon a metal tray. the lamp carefully filled, all utensils needed near at hand. Pure alcohol should be used in the lamp, as an inferior one gums and spells the lamp. One of the essentials in all work, especially in table preparation. is noiseless work. so the wooden spoons are better to use than metal ones. The carved sil- yer affairs may be used for serving.
 With the spoons as utensils for preparations should be small recepta- cles of salt, pepper. celery salt and paprika.

She waved her hand to them both
and threw herself back among the
cushions as the car glided off. John
walked to the corner of the street in
gloomy silence. Then he remembered
his companion. He stopped short.
"Sophy," he begged, don't held me
to my promise. I don't want to take
you out to supper tonight. I am not in

She drew little closer to him.
LET me come, pleasew she begged,
with pathetic, almost childlike quiver
at the corner of her lips.
He looked down at her. A sudden
wave of tenderness swept every other
thought from his mind. His mental
balance seemed suddenly restored. He

into it.

claimed. "Anyhow, it's all over now.

He rose slowly to his feet and caught

"Supposing I won't go3" he whis-
pered hoarsely. "Supposing-I keep
you here instead. Sophy?"
She swayed. for a moment. Some
thing flashed into her face and passed
away. She was paler than ever.
"Dear John," she begged, "pull your
self together! Remember that Louise
is waiting for you. It's Louise you
want-not me. Nothing that she has
done tonight should make her any the
less worthy of you and your love-"
He strobe away into the farther
room. He reappeared in a moment or
two, his hair smoothly brushed, his tie
newly arranged.
"I'll come, little GIRL" he promised.
ST don't know what I'll say to her, but
I'll come. There can't be any harm in
that !"
"Of course not" she answered cheer
fully. "You're the most terrible goose,
john" she added, as they walked down
the corridor. "Do, please, lose your

her know how absurdly you have been

CHAPTER XVI.

The days and weeks drifted into
months, and John remained in London.
His circle of friends and his interests
had widened. 1t was only his rela-
tions with Louise which remained still
unchanged. Always charming to him,
giving him much of her time, favoring
him, beyond a doubt, more than any of
her admirers, there was yet about her
something elusive, something which
seemed intended to keep him so far as
possible at arms length.
There was nothing tangible of which
he could complain, and this probation
airy period was of his own suggestion.
He bore it grimly, holding his place,
whenever it was possible, by her side
with dogged persistence. Then one eve
ming there was a knock at his door,
and Stephen Strangewey walked in.
Stephen, although he seemed a little
taller and gaunter than ever, though
he seemed to bring into the perhaps
overwarmed atmosphere of Johns lit

austerity of his own domain, had evil

somewhat impetuous entrance.
