ENCOURAGE PULLETS TO LAY
Avoid Any interruption of Regular
Habits or Radical Change in
Fowls Diet.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The growing pullet is a creature Of
habit, thoroughly addicted to regular
ity and vigorously opposed to disturb
ance and unusual commotion. 1t is
essential for the good of the flock in
its entirety that the pullets should
grow and improve like clockwork,
from the time of Matching to maturity.
Laying is often retarded by seemingly
trivial disturbances, such as moving
the fowl from place to place and
changing the makeup of the ration.
In order to insure early eggs see to
it that the growth of the pullets is
not retarded in any manner whatever.
Almost without exception the pullet
whose growth from Matching to ma
tUrity has been regular, not subject
to checks and interruptions, is an
early layer. In support of the state
ment that checked growth results in
retarded laying, comes the fact that
May-hatched pullets often lay earlier
llldll OllSIS NIlCn were udlCHeu III
April but retarded in the early stages
Of their growth by unfavorable
weather. Retardation by weather
conditions, however, is only one of
many factors which may stunt the nor
nal growth of pullet and defer her
entrance to the laying class.
AS rule, egg production begins at
or before the cessation of the pullet's
physical growth and development Of
the reproductive organs. Generally,
influences, which hinder growth also
operate to delay egg production for
several months. Any disturbance af-
fecting the habits, quarters or COM
fort of the pullet at any stage of her
life may retard laying. Shifting the
birds from place to place and abrupt
changes in the diet often disturb the
fowl enough to retard laying In fact,
poultry fanciers who desire to keep
pullets in condition for exhibition
often use this means of keeping them
from laying. On the average, pullets
about to begin laying are more SEN
s!tive to disturbances than at any oth-

er stage of their growth, and there
fore require greater care in handling,
but disturbances retarding the growth
even of small chicks are likely to post
pone the beginning of egg production.
1t is imperative that every poultry
keeper exercise the maximum Of eau
ton from the time the chicks are
Matched until the pullets attain ma
turity, so that the fowl will make reg
ular growth and not be subjected to
any factors which will stunt or divert
the proper development of the birds.
The alphabet of proper management
of the pullets emphasizes such factors
as correct nourishment,. constitution,
exercise, and cleanliness. Given the
proper care and surroundings, the
early-hatched chick will develop into
a profitable, early and persistent pro-
Queer of eggs. This is the goal to-
ward which every poultryman should
work.

Leila went into the vestibule and
watched through the glass door, ex-
pecting a combat. She could not hear
Bayard saying:
"Mr. Wetherell, I'd thank you to pay
your attentions elsewhere"
"What's that?" WethereIl gasped at
the abrupt attack.
"Your attentions to Mrs. Kip are
very distasteful to me-"
"My dear fellow, 1 hope you don't
imagine for one moment that Why,
your wife is the finest little girl in
the world"

that if you come around again. Had
you heard that your country was at
war;"
II had"
"Well, a big, strapplng fellow like
you ought to be over there fighting for
his country instead of looking for
trouble here"
Wetherells panic at the domestic
situation was forgotten In the attack
on his patriotism. He drew himself
up with an unconsciously military au-
tomatism and said, 81. fancy I'm doing
as much service here as I could do
over there"
More, perhaps" Bayard sneered.
with contemptuous irony. "But that's
your business, not mine. Mrs. Kip is
my business and don't intend to have
her subjected to your-your atten-
lions. I'm trying to be neutral, but
by Well, I've warned you. Good
day."
Bayard joined Leila in the vestibule
and they went up In the elevator to-
gether. She waited till they were in
their own apartment before she de-
handed an account of the converse
ton.
He told her in rage and she flew
into another. She divided her wrath
between Bayard and Daphne. There
was enough for both. Daphne tried
to escape, but being cornered, pro-
ceeded to fight back, whereupon Leila
denounced her to Bayard and told Of
her ride with Duane.
1t was right good fight and getting
well beyond the bounds of discretion
when the telephone announced that
Clay Wimburn was calling.
Nobody imaginable would have been
welcome in that battlefield, but Clay
seemed peculiarly i'll timed. Bayard
went to the telephone and called
down:
"Tell him we're out"
Eyes, sir"
Evidently the telephone was taken
from the hallman's hand, for Clay's
voice roared in Bayard's ear:
II hear you, you old villain. I know
you're in, and I'm coming up. It's a
matter of life and death. I'm ON my
way up now"
1t seemed Gecenter that Leila and
Daphne should disappear. since Bay
ard had said that they were all out.
The women retreated to Leila's room
as a good coign of addition.

CHAPTER XXI.

The next day her fears of Wetherell
and of Leila were rekindled. She went
down to ask Bayard to help her trace
Clay. Bayard was out and Leila was
on the point of leaving. She was
dressed in her killingest frock and
hat and generally accoutered for con-
quest.

"Going for little spin"

Leila hesitated O moment, then
answered, with q challenging def
ance: with Mr.. Wetherell. Any OBJ
jection"
Daphne disapproved and felt afraid /;
but when Bayard came in unexpect-
eddy early and asked for Leila Daphne
lied inevitably and said she did not
know where she was.
She tried to be casual about 1t, but
Bayard caught fire at once. He was
already in state Of tindery irri-
liability, and Daphne's efforts to re-
assure him as to Leila's innocence of
any guile only angered him the more.
He kept leaning out of the window
and staring down into the street. FL
nally, espying Leila in Wetherell's
car when it approached the apart
ment house, he dashed to the elevator
and met the two at the curb.
Whep Leila got out she was startled
to see him standing at her elbow.
There was nothing for her to do but
make the introductions.

him. And this was rather for his sake
than Leila's.
Leila was just informing Bayard
that the butcher had delivered the
mornings order no farther than the
freight elevator, and instructed his
boy to send the meat up only after
the money came down.
Bayard had no money and the cha
grin Of his situation was bitter. He
snarled at Leila: "Ten the cub to take
the meat back and eat it himself.
Then I'll go over and butcher the
butcher"
Leila dismissed the boy with
faint-hearted show Of indignation.
Then she came back and said, "And
now we have no meat to eat"
Bayard was reduced to philosophy,
the last resort of the desperate:
"Well, the vegetarians say we ought
never to eat meat, anyway. We're
poor but, my Lord! we're in grand
company. look at this cartoon of
Cesare's in the Sun-Father Knicker-
booker turning his pockets inside out
and not a penny in them. New York

time notes at high interest to pay it's

Look at Europe. All the countries
over there were stumbling along I'M

how they could meet the interest on
the next pay day. And now they are
mortgaging their great-grandSOns'
property to pay for shooting their
sons.

| They sat down to a pitiful meal
meatless, maidless, Enthusiastically
more than the raw turnips and cold
water of Colonel Sellers. Leila
fetched what victual there was.
After the meal Bayard shrugged
into his overcOat and left without
kissing his wife or his sister goodby.
Daphne and Leila went out to the
kitchen, set the dishes in the pan,
and the pan under the faucet. Leila
turned on the hot water. Daphne was
glad to be at work.
There's one good thing about

"Very."
"Oh, yes. He was at Newport,

"Oh, nothing. I met him last night

"How could he?" Leila gasped. "We

at was in the dark"
"In the dark! Good heavens !!
Where?"
Already Leila had gained the wealth
err gauge. Daphne had to confess her
outing with Duane, the crash of the
collision and the return to Yonkers
in Wetherell's car. Leila took advan-
tage Of the situation to interpolate:
Good heavens How could you?
You of all people! And with Tom
Duane! What would Clay thinkW
Daphne knew that she had no right
to reproach Leila for having known
Wetherell in Newport. She had no
right even to suspect that Leila had
overstepped any of the bounds of pro-
priety. And still she was not con-
WINGED of Leila's innocence. She was
merely Silenced.

"Oh, it's you, dearl" she fluttered.
II want you to meet Mr.. Wetherell.

"Ah, really!" Wetherell exclaimed,
trying to conceal his uneasiness. This

ominously.

He said it pleasantly, but Leila was
terrified. The spectacle of rival bucks

Wetherell came close and said:
did he say Mrs. Kip? 1 can't see
you, but hope you are the fascinat
ing Mrs. Kip met at Newport. Have
you forgotten me so soon"
Il am Miss Kip" said Daphne.
"Oh, so sorry! I don't mean that,
either. But my Mrs. Kip was a siren

her De-leila, you see. And she called

"She is my brothers. wife," said
Daphne.
"Oh, you don't tell me-" Wetherell
gulped, and his abrupt silence was full
of startling implications that alarmed
Daphne, angered Duane, and threw
Wetherell into confusion.
Duane helped Daphne to alight from
the derelict and transferred her to
the other car, where Wetherell intro
duced them to mass of shadow
whose name, "Mrs. Bethany" meant
nothing to Daphne and everything to
Duane.
Duane arranged to have wrecking
crew sent out to his roadster, and
chartered touring car and a chauf-
feur for the trip into New York.
He sat back with Daphne and muir
INJURED prayers for forgiveness be-
cause of the dangers he had carried
her into and for the things he had
said. Daphne's nerves had been
overworked. She had been rushed
from adventure to adventure of soul
and body. She had been invited to
enter a career of gorgeous sin, and
she had been swept along the edge OF
fearful disaster.
Mrs. Chivvis met Daphne at the
door. Her recent affection had turned
again to scorn, and she glowered at
Daphne, who crept to her room in
hopeless acceptance of the role of ad-
ventures.
Tired as she was she could not
sleep. The clangor Of the morning
called her to the window. A gray day
broke on a weary town. The prob
| lem of debt and food and new clothes
dawned again. Everything was gray
before her.
Wisdom whispered her to take
Duane at his word and try the great
adventure. How could it bring her
to worse confusion than she found
about her now? And then the morn
ing mail arrived and brought her q
large envelope addressed in a strange
hand. She opened it and took from it
sheaf of photographs.
Her fathers image a dozen times
repeated lay before her. The I'M
touched proofs omitted never a line,
never a wrinkle. One Of the pictures
looked straight at her. She recalled
that once she had stood back of the
photographer and her father had
caught her eye and smiled just as the
bulb was pressed.
She made him smile like that. What
would his expression be when he
learned that she had "listened to rea-
son." ceased to be his daughter, and
become Tom Duane's-
She shuddered back from the word
and the thought. She forgot both in
the Joy of reunion with her father
All the PHILOSOPHERS and VISIONS and
luxuries were answered by the logic
of that smile.
She lifted his pictured lips to hers
with filial eagerness and her tears
battered ruinously on the proof. She

was satisfied to be what the jeweler
in Cleveland had called her to Clay
Wimburn-"old Yves Kip's girl"
Suddenly she remembered Weth-
erell and his messages to Leila. She
felt so renewedly virtuous herself that
1t seemed her duty to go down and re-
Duke Leila for her apparent philan-
dering at Newport. She was also Gu
rious to see how guilty Leila would
receive the news that Wetherell had
asked for her.
But she found Bayard at home for
luncheon and she was neither mad nor
mean enough to confuse Leila before
