should be gathered promptly, but it
does not have to be. 1t will hang on

picking is nothing uncommon. and
March picking not unknown. No other
crop of equal Importance can be so

do heavy work. No other staple farm

THEIR SECOND HONEYMOON"

she is mistaken before the day is
out"
l said nothing more, but at break
fast 1 watched both Lillian and
Robert Savarin narrowly as Dicky
aired his theory of the events of the
night before. Marion was not at the
breakfast table, for l had forbidden
Lillian's arousing the sleepy little
thing, who, l was sure, was worn out
from her fright of the night before.
SO that our talk was unhampered
by her presence.
''Oh, Mrs Graham,"
Il am inclined 10 think you are
right. Mr. Graham" the artist said
eagerly. and / knew that the wish
was indeed farther TO the thought
in his case. j understood just how
much he must dread the reappear-
ance in his life of the woman who
had come so near 10 blotting him
forever from life and its joys. real
lied how much he must welcome. the
suggestion that some one else was
the cause OF our terror the night
before
But Lillian stood firm in her be-
lief that Mrs. Allis and no other
was responsible for the pistol shot
that came so near to killing me.
Il realize that your explanation is
the reasonable one" she said,
YEARLY 10 Dicky, but I cannot help
sticking to my theory"
Just like d woman" Dicky threw
at her mischievously. 1t was a slo-
gan which ne knew usually reused
Lillian 10 one of the bursts of bril-
liant invective in which he delighted.
But she refused TO take the cue.
NO doubt " she said. dryly. and
Dicky's reply was fOrestalled by
Katie. who rushed into the room with
her usual impetuosity, evidently bub-
bling over with news of some kind.
oh. NIissis Graham" she ex-
claimed, and / might as well have
tried TO stop Niagara as 10 stem the
torrent OF her words or 10 make her

Conservatism of Radicals

The only thing 1 don't like about
the radicals" said a woman 1 know
the other day. lis that they are al
ways so conservative"
What do you mean?" said I. and
then the women that I know ex-
planned.
Il have seen a great deal OF radi-
Gals lately" she said and a lot Of
them are broad people. OF course.
I don't like the way they wear their
hair 40 like to see a woman's

clever things and goOd-naured in a
kind Of way, so 1 have a great deal
OF fun listening TO them and their
fads. But there is one thing / don't
like. though-they are always so
bigoted. They are as bigoted as an
fashioned atheist.
My father had a friend once who
was an atheist, and this friend said
he really could not have anything
10 do with the people in town be-
cause they were so bigOted-they all
believed in churches and he did not
He never seemed 10 think that he
was a trihe narrow-minded him
self, but that is the way the radicals
think
IF YOU agree with them you are
all right II you don't agree with
them you're all wrong. And they
have the true mark Of the bigoted,
too they don't care what you do or
what YOU are or who you are-just
so long as you agree with them in
some theory or other.
Through Other Eyes.
81 have seen my radical friends sit
down at dinner with a woman of
worse than no reputation, a cruel
mother. a deserter wife. a wicked
and ungrateful daughter, a selfish.
mercenary and hard-hearted person.
They know this about her-they
know that she has wrecked decent
families and made a shipwreck OF
her own lHe-ye" they encourage
her and seem 10 like her. Why ?
Because she believes or pretends
10 believe in some OF their strange
theories.

toned to the idea and don't make il
such an important thing in their
lives"
1 lived in a New England town
once where everybody ostracized a
woman. / could not think what was
the matter with her, but when
came 10 find out about her they told
me they thought something was
wrong with her because she had her
laundry done on Tuesday instead OF
Monday. SO l said TO my friend:
You know you are pretudiced
against one OF my radical friends
because she wears her hair bobbed.
What is the difference between you
and those New ENGLAND people? Tell
me-
I am glad I saw my friend who
told me these things just exactly as
she did. for ] was just making up
my mind TO disapprove thoroughly
of a certain young man BECAUSE he
never played football in his life and
can't tell a polo pony from a COW.
I think I will cultivate his ac-
quaintance and see if / cannot broad
en- my mlnu little DIT. wonder
if IL wouldn't be a good idea
What a tedious old world it would
be if we were all alike. wouldn't it ?
don't have to approve OF people
to like them-sometimes I wish /
did. Ii would make things easier
once in a while.
There's my friend who's always
in debt. for example-and always
wanting TO get in deeper by borrow
ing from me
And there's the woman I know
who believes Ia spirits and is always
asking mediums to her house TO tip
tables and get weird messages
through an old tin trumpet. but. dear
me, she has such a sweet smile
We're All Different.
And one day when I was quite
cross with the borrowing friend and
went TO her house to scold her. 1
found her kneeling on the floor try
ing up the leg Of a strange dog she
found crippled in the street-and
somehow I didn't have word TO
say.
I'm glad we're all different-and
the more kinds Of different people
know the better pleased I am.
NO, don't think III be a radical
myself just yet-they are little too
! conservative to please me.

kATIE BRINGS STRANGE NEWS
IN TIE MORNING.

- -'lOAN-NA-No
The dawning Of the next morning,
clear and sunshiny with the promise
of approaching spring that Marcn
days so royalty give sometimes
brought TO us all a little doubt as
to our theory Of the wild happenings
Of the night before.
Lillian's little girl, Marion Nor
ton, had been frightened by the APP
pearance Of a Woman's face at her
window. A little later while talking
with Dicky in front of the hall door
had seen a shadow fit across the
glass and the next moment bullet
had buried itself in the wall behind
me. We had determined that the
unknown assailant must be Mrs.
Allis, the desperate woman who
once had called herself the wife of
Robert Savarin, and whom he had
seen looking out of the window Of
the train which brought him to Mar
win.
The theory had appeared entirely
plausible the night beOfre, but the
calcium of the morning sunlight
turned upon it was a different mat
ter. Dicky was the first to utter a
doubt aloud
Il say, Madge,' he said abruptly
as ne stood brushing his hair before
the mirrOr-we were sharing his
mothers room. having given our own
up to our guests-'don't you think
we were a bit premature last night
about saddling Mrs Allis with that
melodramatic movie stunt? That
kid of LIS is just as imaginative as
they make 'em. nerves strung as taut
as a violin cord. She might very
easily be mistaken about seeing a
woman's face. Don't YOU think so ."
THAT Doesn't Explain"
'Ye-es." / agreed slowly. for the
same thought had come TO me in the
morning. But that doesn't explain
the pistol shot and the shadow on
the glass"
NO. but you'll find that there's
some good explanation Of those
things. There must have been some
one loose last night, perhaps some

hear from it later in the day. I'll
wager"
Ny common sense told me that
Dicky was proba bly, right. but a lit
tie fear. a recollection Of lillian
face when she moved Marion's bed
out OF range OF the window. made
me utter a protest against settling
the matter in this offhand fashion.
