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-
manded an account of the cOnversa-
tion.
He told her In n 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.
II 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"
"Yes, 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 decenter that Leila and
Daphne should disappear. since Bay
ard had said that they were all out.
The women retreated to Leila's room
as good coign of addition.

turned on the hot water. Daphne was

c0L0GNE'S UPS AND DOWNS
inportsnt German City Of the Present
Has Had Its Periods Of Dire
Adversely.

During the Middle Ages Cologne
was a place Of great trade; the weav-
ers, the goldsmiths, and the armorers
of the city were famous the world
over; while its merchants had houses
in London, and the city itself was ac-
ccrded a chief place in the Hanseatic
league. Decay set In with the dawn Of
the Reformation. and the place owed
its Cownfall TO its Intolerance. Thus.
its university. which in the fourteenth
and fifteenth centuries had a great
reputation. began at once to decline.
This policy dealt severe blows at the
prosperity of the town. and when,
in 11!4, Cologne was occupied by the
French. II was a poor and decayed
city of some 10000 inhabitants, Of
which only 5000 possessed civil rights
Since 1915. however, when II was
finally assigned to Prussia. Cologne
has continued to prosper, until to-
day IL is one Of the most important

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 klllingest frock and
hat and generally accoutered for con.
quest.

Leila hesitated moment, then
answered. with challenging def

Daphne disapproved and felt afraid !;
but when Bayard came In unexpect-
edly early and asked for Leila Daphne
lied inevitably and said she did not
know where she was.
She tried to be casual about II, but
Bayard caught fire at once. He was
already In state of tindery irri-
iubii's' hiu W It-
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 Wetherelrs
car when II approached the apart
ment house. he dashed to the elevator
and met the two ut the curb.
When Leila got out she was startled
to see him standing at her elbow.
There was nothing for her to do but
make the introductions.
"Oh. It's you. dear!" she futtered.
II want you to meet Mr.. wetherell.
Mr.. Wetherell. my husband"
"Ah, really" Wetherell exclaimed,
trying to conceal his uneaslness. "This
is bit of luck. I've heard so much
about you! Your wife does nothing
but sing your praises"

ominously.

He said II pleasantly, but Leila was
terrified. The spectacle of rival bucks
locking horns in her dispute is not al

Leila went into the vestibule and
through the glass door, ex-
pectlng a combat. She could not hear

SAVES WASTAGE OF LIGHT
Device That Automatically Turns on
Power Has Been Found to Be
Of Real Value.

One of the considerable sources of
fuel waste Is the unnecessary burning
Of electric lights. A large percentage
Of lights are used chiefly for limited
periods, as for instance In cloak
rooms. They are turned on and then
heedlessly left burning. Thus we are
constantly recommended to shut on
needless lights as a matter of national
saving.
An Invention designed to remedy
this condition is the work of ]. e.
Lewis of New York. By pushing
button the light is turned on and glows
for a predetermined period-say, five
or ten minutes-and then is auto
matically cut of. The device has been
tested and found practical and seems
useful in the way of checking electric
light waste.

Greater Thought In Laying
Out Plans Needed.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The tractor will be used for blowing
wheat land this year by larger num-
ber Of farmers than ever before per-
haps The farmer who Is using a
tractor for the first time will have to
solve a great many problems. And
many farmers who have used tractors
for one or more years have not yet
found the best way Of avoiding all
the difficulties Of tractor plOwing.
The two main things to be consId-
cred In tractor plowing, as in any other
kind of plowing, are high quality OF
work and economy of time. They are
somewhat harder to attain with the
tractor than with horse plOws, or, to
put 1t more accurately. greater care
I'm planning is necessary to attain
them.
The initial problem is to lay out the
field In such way as to attain two
fold result-a high-class job Of plow-
ing over the entire field with as little
use as possible Of hOrse-drawn plows
In starting and finishing. and to con-
sumo as little time as possible in turn
ing and In running with the plows out
Of the ground.
To lay out field exactly right for
tractor plowing is something Of an en-
gineering feat. but the United States
department of agriculture has under
taken to simplify 1t as much as posi-.
BILE. Bulletin 1045. Laying Out Fields
for Tractor Flowing. contains dia-
grams Of 13 ways of laying out fields.
Nine of these are methods In which
the plows are lifted at the ends. The
other four are methods In which the
plows are left In the ground in going
across the ends. They are designed
for both rectangular and irregular
fields, and one or another of them will
be found adapted to practically any
piece of ground that is to be plowed.
The bulletin is free.
