The rest of what monsieur said just
then was lost on me, for there had
swooped on me lightning stroke of

CHAPTER XIII.
Monsieur Appeals to Me.

The effect of our words on monsieur
was the last thing we could have fore
seen. He had been standing all this
while. He sank heavily into his chair,
buried his face in his hands--and
wept, Billy raised disgusted eyes to
the ceiling, inviting it to come down
with a noise and end the unpleasing
spectacle OF man crying tears on a
rug. Then catching my commiserating
eye, Billy communicated his ideas on
the subject with a little sneer of his
lip and a little shrug Of his shoulder.
The next instant, he had seized me by
the arm and pulled me along the hall
whispering: "While he's on the weep
we can talk" and he thrust me inside
the bedroom door, himself remaining
on the sill with an eye to the dining
room.
Monsieur continued to weep-pos-
sibly he thought we'd left him out Of
consideration for his emotion.
"Say-this is the very deuce Of
hole" Billy began in rapid whisper,
"the very devil of a hole. What we
must do is to go to Washington to-

"Well, tonight, then-we can catch

"How can you be-when she only

"Oh, well, since you've got 'em,
suppose you'll do as you like for all of
my advice" Billy said glumly, stuffine
his hands in his pockets. "But II
you'll take my advice, you'll not waste
time over anything-it's too serious"

Some showers occurred during the

The crop, however, now needs rain
generally in the western section of the
state, especially in fields which were
planted late. Rain is needed also in
western counties for potatoes, young
clover and most garden truck, but
the condition of the soil with respect
to moisture is better in most eastern
sections. Wheat will be harvested in
the southern counties and begun
through the central part by July 8
Practically none of that harvested has
been threshed, but it varies from ave
rage to very light. In a few northern
localities, particularly, the crop is
practically a failure. Oats will be
