went after a quiet girl. the old-fashioned
sort that resepcts her father and moth
er and herself. one who does not attend
all the late dances and dress as though
she hates to wear clothes. There Is
something in that for girls who wish
to marry well.

eARTH'S RICHEST RUBY MINES
Center Of Worlds Store Of Precious
Stones is Known to Be Located
In Upper Burma.

The worlds ruby center is Mogok, In
upper Burma. some 10 miles north OF
Mandalay. Here are the great ruby
mines. one OF Burma's most valuable
monopolies. says the London Weekly
Telegraph. Indeed. not only does this
country produce the finest OF these
coveted gems. but they are recovered
In such quantities as to enable her TO
dominate the market.
Few are aware that, weight Tor
weight, a ruby Is more valuable IMAM o
diamond. It is estimated that o the
color Of pigeons blood. weighing hve
carats, will sell for ten times the value
Of a diamond of the same weight. FUR
thermore, the price increases with the
size of the stone.
As the 'byon." or earth containing
the coveted gems. is taken from the
ground It Is placed In a great revolving
tub. Here IL Is screened and all loose
earth removed by water. The residue
is then tipped on the sorting table. a
white oyerseer carefully examines the
pile. selecting the true gems from the
worthless debris. II he's lucky he may
nj one sorting find gems worth many
thousands of dollars. while on the 9th
er hand the yield may be but a hun
dred dollars pr two. The yearly out
out of rubies from these mines totals
about $4,000.

were a forbidden text. She was try

her about the way to quell a man.
With great difficulty and in all trepi-

He stared at her, trying to under-
stand her amazing foreign language
Then he shifted with amused unbelief,
dropped his hands, and stood aside.
Daphne could hardly believe her
eyes. The charm had worked the third
time She darted forward to get away
before the spell vas broken. AS she
passed him-whether he suddenly
changed his mind or had only pretend
ed to acqulesce-he developed her In
his arms.
She almost swooned in the onset OF
fear and the suffocatiOn of his EN-
brace. Then she fought him. striking

her against the nearest table IN trieo
to reach her lips across her left elbow
Her outiiung right hand struck
against an lnkwell, recognized 1t as O

splash. His hands went to hls
drenched eyes. Daphne, released
dropped the inkwell and fled to thu

bowling like the blinded Cyclops
Daphne did not stay to taunt him mol
to demand her wages. She caught I

Proper Potato Storage Protects the souds Against Extremes OF Heat Cold
and Light.

heat and cold. a w~ell-drained site being
essential. 1t is usually not advisable
to excavate more than 9 inches, max
ing the pit long and narrow rather
than square In shape. 1t is inadvisa-
BILE to store a large bulk Of potatoes
In one pit.
The potatoes are stored over q light
layer Of straw on the floor, while the
pile is insulated against cold and heat
by covering the spuds with alternate
layers of straw or hay and soil. Dur
ing the late fall, as the weather grows
colder, more straw. as well as more
soil, should be added to form a prOtec-
tive overcOat for the potatoes. Each
layer of straw when cOmpacted should
be approximately six inches thick.
while the final layer of soil should be
six to eight inches deep, depending up
on weather conditions. Ventilation
may be provided by means of a wooden
lue, the lower end of which extends
almost to the bottom Of the pit, while
the upper end should project well
above the covering, the valve being
equipped with n wooden cap to pre-
vent the entrance of rain or snow, and
ulso in order that it may be closed en-
tirely during very cold weather.
A pit of this sort when well MADE
will provide perfect protection for the
potatoes until spring, the objection to
II being that the potatoes stored there
in are not always accessible during the
winter.
In regions where rainfall Is slight,
dugOut potato cellars are commonly
used, it no being necessary to provide
these buildings with water-tight roofs.
Usually the pit or hog back" as 1t Is
called. Is placed on Il short, narrow
ridge Of land which permits of easy
approach and a central driveway into
the pit at the grade line. 1t is neces-
sary to brace such potatoes by means
of posts and plates in order to prevent
~cave-ins. Some Of the pits are more
expensive and substantial, with the
side and end walls made OF concrete.
Generally 1t Is advisable to have the
storage cellars or pits equipped with
SOME system VI uitiiiciui iiSi'tihS'
Central Driveway in Cellar.
The storage cellar is usually prOvid-
ed with q driveway entrance and Is
considerably wider than the cellars
without driveways, which often are
only ~ to 30 feet wide. the entire space
being used for storage purposes and
the floor being either dirt. wood or con-
crete. Some Of the best stOrages have
driveways through the middle with bins
on either side, the driveway being an
earthen one with the storage bins hav-
ing ventilated wooden floors laid on
joists placed at right angles to the
driveway and thus furnishing an un'
restricted circulation Of air beneath
the bin.

CHAPTER XVII.

Daphne had not told Mrs. Chivvis
of her financial plight. nor Of her ia.
Tiers, nor her brothers. She had
simply let the days of payment go
past one by one. She saw Il chilller
glitter in Mrs. Chivvis' eye and there
was a constant restraint upon the con-
ver~ation for many days.
Mr.. Chivvis was at home most OF the
time now, sitting about in his old
clothes to save the others. He and his
wife naturally talked of Daphne.
Sometimes she overheard their under
tones. Each seemed to urge the other
to the attack. Finally, one evening
Mrs. Chivyis made 81 bold as to call
on Daphne in her room, and to say,
after much improvisingi

but-well-er-you see-the fact Is

in the morning for his last weeks bill,
ond-if It's not unconventional
Daphne felt sick with shame, but
She had to confess, Il cant tell you
how sorry ! am. but haven't any"
"ReallyP That's too bad" Mrs
Chiyvis said. She was hardly sorrier
for herself than for Daphne. She tried
to brighten them both with hope, "bu'
YOU expect-no doubt you expect soon
to"
"I'ye been looking for-for some
u,or, m do hut there doesn't seem tC
oe any"
"Oh. ! see !" said Mrs. Chivvis' con
irmed In her suspicious n reduced
TO silence. Daphne went on, aftel
swallowing several cobblestones:
But. of course. I've no right TO be
emitting your food and staying on here
as a guest. And l suppose I'd better
give up my room, so that you cal
take In somebody who can pay"
Mrs. Chivvis was close, but she wa'
not up to an eviction, and she ghsped
"Oh, really IL hardly think
shouldn't like"
Her hard voice cracked like nj
lcicle swapping off the caves In
spring sun and before either of then
quite understood 1t the hard eyes o.
both thawed; tears streamed, an
they were in each others arms.
Daphne was the better weeper o
the two. Poor Mrs. Chivvis could no
he really lavish even with tears; bu
she did very well, for her.
Immediately they felt years bette
acquainted-old friends all OF a sud
den. They were laughing foolish.
when nm apologize knock on the opel
door introduced Mr.. Chevvis, VIII

than he would have broken into tn
