Amazing world" she thought, and
decided-for she was distinctly true
| hearted-to help Cecilia on as much
as she could.
The rehearsal was short
When it was ended Lady Torrens
began to talk to Cecil.
Where do you live, my dear?" she
asked
I'm the aristocratic neighbcrhood of
, Shepherds Bush!" Cecil laughed.
She felt too happy to bother about
anything today in two rooms.
my dear, no girl. particularly an
actress. should live alone
Il don't live alone I'm married,
Lady Torrens. II was married this
morning.
Rachel, who had been marking the
copy, rose;' she took Cecils hand i'm
Iulsiyely. @
Il wish you happiness she said
with pathetic little smile
Cecil squeezed her hand.
Thank YOU" she said
The summer, breeze. blowing in,
lifted the soft white silk curtains and
blew them out into the room
There was little crash
'Oh, what a PITY" Cecil said as
she stopped to pick up the fallen
thing.
Rachel gave snlothered cry.
1T is Roberts photograph" she
said
She took it quickly from Cecil and
began very carefully to remove the
broken glass.
Il am sure ! have seen that man;
I'm certain l know his face" Cecil
said. watching her.

"Where-where? she said breath
lessly.
Speak; be quick" Lady Torrens
said almost angrily.
Cecil gazed helplessly from one to
the other.
Really" she began, Il can't re-
member She looked again at the
steady eyes, the sensitive mouth.
"Of course" she said with a little
laugh, the photograph is exactly like
my husband. only he is clean shaven
and has fairer hair; it's extraordinar-
| lily like him. she repeated.
Rachel turned away: her sudden
vivid enthusiasm fell from her again
But Lady Torrens remained stand
ing by Cecil.
Perhaps you never heard the story
of Captain Fane's marriage to Miss
Ford?" she asked pleasantly
No; ! don't know Miss Ford at all
intimately" Cecil said rather doubt
fully.
1t all seemed rather strange, this
violent interest in supposed likeness
and the explanation of Lady Torrens.
Captain Fame married Miss Ford
three months ago today" Lady Tor
rens said. She never took her eyes
from .Cecils face.
"On that evening he was taken ILL.,
and few days later he was operated
upon in nursing home for some pres
sure on the brain. From that nursing
home he disappeared, no one knew
how or where he went, and yet"-she
she suddenly laid her hand on Cecnl's
'he was man without memory"
"A man without memory" Cecil
repeated stupidity
She looked at Lady Torrens.

A Fine McCrory Garden

There are many splendid gar
dens in and around McCrory this
year, but none that we have seen
will size up with that of Mrs.
Geo. H. Proulx. Mrs. Prolx al
ways has a good garden, the pro-
ducts from which add consider
ably to the family bank roll, but
this season she has surpassed all
former efforts. She has a large
variety of vegetables, all pro-
ducing we'll, especially the to-
matoes. She has 1000 tomato
plants, now bearing the finest
crop we have ever seen. One of
her tomatoes weighed one and a
quarter pounds and we saw a
great number equally as large.
Next Tuesday Mrs. Proulx will
begin canning, and none Of the
products of her garden will be
allowed to go to waste. She ex-
poets to put up over a thousand
cans of tomatoes alone, beside
making many gallons of superior
tomato catsup.

The Bankead Highway

The contract for the construc-
ton of the Wynne to Crittenden
County Highway was let last
week to the firm of Shinn & AM
mermann of Kansas. The bid is
for SIS, 812. 35 and the road is to
be completed by December /.
This road is to form link in
the great Bankhead National

made strenuous efforts to locate
on this route, and its completion
will mean a step in advance for
the county.
The Wynne to Crittenden
County Highway is to be a fine
gravel road, suitable for travel
of any sort, and is the best type
of road that the Commissioners
could contract for. Wynne
Progress.
Beginning at the eastern ter
minus of the above named road,
a modern highway is now being
constructed eastward through
Crittenden county to the Harri-
han bridge at Memphis, which
will be open for free traffic with
in the next six weeks.
The road from Fakes to the
Cross county line, for which we
are now asking a charter, will
form another link in the great
National highway, and we can
not afford to fail in securing for
our county the benefits that will
follow it's completion.

Woodruff County Cabbage

Mr.. L. A. P. Beard, a farmer
in the Boards Church neighbour
hood, brought in this week a
specimen of the cabbages now
growing in his garden. 1t weighs
II pounds and measures 81 inch
es in circumference. Mr.. Beard
says he gave his garden no extra
cultivation this year, and no fer
tilization, other than the spread
ing of a little barnyard manure
before breaking the ground. He
attributes his success in raising
big cabbage more to the fine quail
ity of Woodruff county soil than
to any other agency. And yet
there are some who do not ap-
preciate the necessity for hold
ing fairs, where our record break
ing product may be shown.
