DO stay. This is such a nice op-
portunity to have you meet my new
sisters" l said. and presented him
to Virginia and Phoebe.
Then, all in a Lsoment, Sheldon's
desire for a "leisurely cup of cof-
fee" was explained. He wanted it
with Virginia. He didn't make the
slightest effort to conceal his tre-
mendous admiration for Mrs. Dalton
and Virginia's indifference. coupled
with Phoebe's utter lack of amaze
ment, told me something more to
add to my list of notes" about this
almost undesciperable sister-in-law
of mine. Virginia had a great deal
of charm-of lure-for men. Gould
that be what had separated her from
Pat Dalton?
My speculations were interrupted
by the arrival of the check, which
Sheldon calmly appropriated and
signed. After all my agony over the
inglorious, missing dollar-after the
actual ordeal of asking Virginia for
help-came this absurd, yet perfect
ly proper ending.
And when Virginia rose to leave.
Sheldon insisted on putting his car
at her disposal, and phoned just be-
fore to explain almost apologetical-
ly that he was detained at the office,
but was sending his car and chauf-
feur around to call for us.
And Virginia's Illuminating com
ment when l came and told her, was:
How kind He must really be quite
devoted to you and Jim"
i've never noticed it before" l
replied dryly, remembering the time
Jim had almost affiliated himself
with a gang of thieves down in the
street-and Sheldon had made no
move TO stop him.
You'll have dinner with us to-
night-won't you, girls?" 1 asked
when the car deposited me at my
door an hour later.
"A nice little family party?" asked
Virginia in tone that was almost
friendly. Wen be glad to come
to get away from hotels and to test
the housekeeping Jim boasts about"
That left me in a warm glow of
delight-over which a shower of cold
wafer was destined to be cast before
IeEg-for 1 was summoned to the
pho4e in the midst of peeling pota-
toeS and Phoebe's voice whispered:
wee says she's so tired she just
can't go out again to-night-so will
yoJ please come here to dinner in
stead"
l knew Jim would want me to ac-
cept. But as l turned from the
phone, hard on my own Yes" two
doubts came to assail me:
Had Virginia seen through my
fimsy little preteXt about being
careless with money-was she ask
ing us to be her guests at the Roch-
ambeau because she suspected that
my proud Jim could hardly afford
to entertain any extras" at dinner?

anew TO think of some way out

my Jim.
For his sake l couldn't ask Vir-
ginia U lend me the money-and in
the midst of my desperation l felt
relieved because it was clearly not

Most certainly I didn't want to.

all that room there was no one else
to whom one dollar meant the diff
ference between misery and happi-
ness.
Suddenly, out of that mess of in
different, unknown, mask-lille faces,
one detached itself and became real.
Sheldon Blake's eyes caught mine as
he leaned forward from a distant
table and lifted his goblet of water
in greeting.

money that morning.

No Halt of Draft
in Armistice Talk

Washington, Nov. 9.-Secretary of
War Baker yesterday authorized the
statement that negotiations for an
armistice in France have not caused
the War Department to check in any
way the machinery of the draft law,
and that no contracts for supplies or
equipment have been cancelled be-
cause of the probability of Ger
many's accepting the terms received
yesterday morning from Marshal
Foch.
Until Germany actually signs the
armistice, no slackening of the war
machinery of the United States Is to
be permitted, however far advanced
may be the program OF action to
follow the German capitulation.

Better Poultry.

Three growers of fancy poultry in.thiI
vicinity have already sold out all stock
raised last year and at better prices
than ever and all three are returning
money and untitled orders. The demand
is enormous and indications are it will
continue heavy. A few eggs and q
broOdy hen will put anybody at once
into the industry II he gets the right
kink of eggs, eggs Of goOd.qnallty from
good blood lines. These can not be had
for song, they are valuable and people
who have such quality will demand q
fair price for it. Often a sitting Of
Of eggs at IS is cheaper than another
at 81, and q person hoping to make
money out Of poultry can not afford to
buy cheap stock and eggs. We know
of several disappointments last year
due to such purchases and there will be
other disappontments this season.
We want to see interest In good poul-
try increase and we are hoping that
buyers this year will look carefully into
the quality Of eggs they buy. and if
possible to find the desired breed near
home, buy from parties you know il
possible. and buy the very best he has.

Save Garden Seeds Not Needed.

Garden. seeds Of almost every kind
are scarce, and any not needed for
planting this season should be carefully
saved. Some vegetable seeds do not
retain their vitality for more than two
years, but the following are good for
the time given for each: Beans, 8; beet,
6; cabbage. s; carrot, 5: celery. s.
cucu mber, 10: eggplaDt.6; lettuce, g.
melons of all kinds. 5; okra, 5; parsley.
8; pea. 8; pepper, 4; pumkin, a; radish,
s; spinach, s; squash. 6; tomato, 4;
turnip. 5. OF course the year in which
seeds were saved or purchased should
be put on the package when seed are
put away, and Of course all old seeds
should be tested for vitality before
planting. Often full stand may be
secured from seeds with a low percent
age of vitality by the simple expedient
Of very heavy planting.

A Warning To Slackess.

Now you men who were not drafted
and wouldn't volunteer, when you
heard your country calling out in tones
so clear; just take this word of caution
IL you never get chance. Don't
steal a soldiers sweetheart while her
boy is off in France"
Just remember while you're staying
thereathome and at your ease, that her
soldier boy is fighting in land across
the seas; He is facing Germsn legions
with but aipicture to remind him. Just
how the girl looks in the land he left
back home behind him.
Though bis faith is true and steadfast
oft times his thoughts will roam, to
the girl he left behind him and the fell
low back at home. Though he never
doubts his sweetheart, he will always
doubt the men, so you better all behave
yourselves till he comes home again.
For 10 the distant future he may
come to us, and il you've played
him false be will start a little fuss so
take this bit of fools advice, do not
take chance.

question.
Nitrate ordinarily gives better re-

Sometimes it is advisable to use nitrate
on alfalfa in the spring when it lacks

If the alfalfa has been satisfactory,
