manded the melancholy privilege u
visiting the pawnshop himself. Leila
made heap of her adornments. Last
of all she took from her neck the little
plaque he had given her with its star
dust of diamonds frosting a platinum
filigree.
He kissed her mournfully and hur-
ried away to the pawnshop. He
skulked in and out like burglar, and
he brought away pack Of tickets and
a lump of money. The pawnbroker
apologized for lending him less than
half the value of the gems; so many
people were looking to the pawrbrok-
.rs for salvation, he said, that he could
not find cash enough for all. Times
were hard indeed when the pawnbrok-
ers were overworked.
Bayard went home and surrendered
to Leila her funds. She passed them
over to her father-in-law. Poor Wes-
ley peeled off the minimum that would
serve as sop to his creditors aud
said he would taFe the afternoon trim

And she was, in her way.
When they were at home again he
told her of his ruinous speculat1Ons.
She did not reproach HIM. She was
gambler enough to thrill at the high
chance, and sportswoman enough not
to blame him for losing his stakes.

his lap, as from a dais. "We1l be

CHAPTER XVI.

Daphne had watched Leila's little
scene with as much confusion as the
other two Kips. She felt q normal
amount of jealousy, of course, as wcm-
an to woman, but no more than
healthy amount, for she liked Leila
and she was grateful to Leila for be-
ing able to rescue her father and fOr
being willing to. It was fine thing
for Leila to strip herself of her last
splendor to help an old father-in-law
pay the interest on q mortgage on
house in another town. Daphne gs ve
Leila full need of applause for that
What embitter Daphne was that
it had to be Leila and not herself that
saved her father, and that Leila had
to do the deed by spending things she
had not paid for herself-OrnameEtS
gewgaws, gifts.
Leila had collected from life perhaps
three thousand dollars worth of jew
els and Daphne had collected a fifty
dollar check, framed-and that check
was in lieu Of work. AS soon as she
remembered that check she ran up to
her room and took it down from the
wall, ripped off the back of the frame
and removed the check from the mat.
She studied it and thought, '"The
first money and the last" Then a
vigor and determination clenched all
her muscles in kind of lockjaw. She
came out of the spasm in tremor of
hysterical faith. She spoke her
thought aloud in fury: 1T sha'n't be
the last, it sha'n't, it sha'n't, by golly!"
The feebleness of the expletive dis
gusted her. She tried to be powerful
by way of powerful language. Before
she knew it she ripped out a resound.

All her powder exploded in that one
detonation.
She fell over into chair in horror.
The blasphemy seemed to rattle about
the little room. 1t terrified her. Mrs.
Chivvis ran down the hall, CARRYING her
everlasting sewing, and tapped on the
door and asked:
did you call me, my dear? Ale
you ill?"
mo, thank you. I'm all right. I
didn't say anything"
That was doubly false. She had
said something. In the slang of the
hour she had "said something" She
had 'said an earful,' also a heartful,
Mrs. Chivvis supposed that what she
had heard was some voice from the
street. and went back along the hall,
stitching as she walked.
Daphne took the check and went
down to Bayard's apartment. Bayard
was on his way to the pawnbroker's.
Leila was in his room. Old Wesley
sat in chair facing a wall. He SEEM

him and put the check in his hand, ex.

her hand between his and said:
"Why, honey, 1 couldn't take your

times of such frantic needs. He could
not do any of the honorable, pleasant
things that one can do with money.
He had to do many of the dishonor-

In his desperation Bayards thoughts
reverted to his original rescuer. his

man in vain. Bayard had often prom

home a big check as subtra
from his venerable debt But it was
a promise easy to defer, in the face of
all the other temptations and oppor-
tunities. His father never pressed
him, never expected a return of the
money he had been investing in the
boy. For child is a piece of furni-

DAMAGE TO
WHEAT BY
WORM HERE
Army Worm Attacks Alfalfa
and Continues Offensive
Against Wh@t; Remedy
Given by Agent.

Destruction by the Mexican army
worm, has resulted in a heavy loss
to the second growth of alfalfa in
Grady county, was the statement
made this porning by j, w. Owens
county farm agent.
Since the first growth of alfalfa
has been harvested, the army worm
is attacking the wheat fields, and un-
less action to kill the pests is taken
Immediately, will result in heavy loss
to this crop, according to Mr. Owens,
The army worms advance in droSes,
millions being in one army" They
feed on the kernel of the wheat and
green leaves OF the alfalfa, ana
therefore are very destructive.
According to the formula recon-
mended by the county agricultural
agent, the best remedy for the con
troll and determination of the army
worm is poisoned bran bait made as
follows Thoroughly mix SO pounds
of bran, 2 lbs. of Paris green and
three finely chopped lemons. Stir
to damp mash with four to seven
gallons Of water sweetened with one.
half gallon of low grade molasses.
Where infestation is general, SOW
sparingly around bases of plants or
broadcast over the field Where the
infestation is in one portion of the
field, NOW the wheat infested and
plow a deep furrow between the
moved wheat and the other portion
Of the field Sprinkle coat of the
poisoned bran bait in the base Of the
furrow. Plow the furrow in such a
place that the worm will be forced
to cross the same before reaching
the unmolested crop They hide be-
fore dying, and the dead ones viii
seldom be seen, Mr. Owens says.
This bait will also poison poultry,
and, Agent Owens says, care must
be taken to keep the poultry from
the bait.
"The worm situation is a critical
one" said Mr.. Owens this morning.
"They are general over the entire
county and steps to eXterminate the
PESTS must be taken at once"
