you are asking too much Of me.
Helen. I must be everything, Or
keep away from you. 1t may show
weakness, but love you, dear, with
all my strength. Wanting you as 1
do, I could not keep still. l should

go; please go now" Her voice
faltered. He kissed her hand, then
at compelling gesture from her he
took his hat and rushed from the
room.
AS he stumbled out Of the door,
way into the street he almost fell
over lurking figure. 1t was the
man who spent SO much of his time
in the street and who often bought
flowers from Hugo. The man who
but short time before had black
mailed Helen.
eff only I had left at once-the
moment 1 knew-then I might have
told him; he might have forgiven
But he never would, never" Helen
walked back and forth, repeating the
words hell never forgive" and "he
mustn't know" over and over, until
exhausted she threw herself on the
couch and sobbed aloud in her mis-
cry.
IT love him; I want him!" she
moaned, for the second time acknowl-
edging to herself that it was really
love she felt for Lansing.
Until the approach of morning was
distinct she lay moaning in her I'M
happiness. A gray light hung in a
misty veil over the spaces when she
rose, and, standing at the window,
watched unseeing the deserted street
and square.
She saw only her own misery, the
years stretching before her, drab and
lonely. She was barely conscious Of
any desire, only the one that would
obliterate the past, wipe the slate
clean. Let her life begin when she
came to New York
Dared she?
Kirk Lansing was not the sort Of
man a woman would be able to
marry If she held from him secret
vital to his happiness. Yet Helen
considered it. For over a year she
had been safe. Why shouldn't she
be safe indefinitely? She had told
him she was an orphan with no near
relatives. She had told the simple
truth. Why should she be afraid
to keep locked up in her breast
things that would hurt him, spoil
both their lives? Wasn't it being
kind to him? He loved her.
But her reason clutched her and
chung to her She could keep her
secret as long as she was free
alone. But to keep it from a hus-
band, a man who loved her, that
would be impossible. Sooner or later
she would tell him and then he would
leave her.
st love him so 1 can't marry him"
Then: ooh, my wasted, ruined life!
All because of a girlish mistake!"

let down the bars and turn in the
ravaging herd-on a great number of
people who are damaged in spirit If
not in body, and the result is never
uncertain as to decadence of public
virtue.
It will be a sad day for old Geor-
gia when we forsake the religious
habits and customs of our sturdy
and patriotic forefathers. People are
telling me constantly that there is
no respect for the aged-young ones
do not obey, do not heed counsel
they clamor for a good time, and
the majority seems to have taken
I the "bit in their teeth" and are go
ing it wild
The Sabbath day in Georgia has
become what might be called the
automobile day of our state. If the
weather is favorable the churches
are largely depopulated. The masses
are out on the road, summer or
winter, joy riding and sightseeing.
| May I call attention to the auto
mobile fatalities in this connec-
ton? Statistics inform us that auto
mobiles are killing more people than
railroads with a large percentage
recorded in Monday newspapers.
Bishop Gambler writes correctly
when he says "All this chatter about
blue laws in Georgia is ridiculously
| absurd" We have always had laws
for Sundays observance since Geor-
| gia was a colony.
| It may sound very Anticipated and
people may say, Mrs. FELTON, has
| outlived herself" but L am here
| to say, and emphasize it with the
experience of nearly eight-six years,
| that nobody ever suffered any in
| jury by obeying Gods direction to
"Remember the Sabbath day to keep
it holy"
1t is like eating plain, wholesome
food and drinking pure, clean wat
er, it can't hurt you, and the
chances are in favor of it's being
helpful to your life, private or po-
litical.
We are facing very serious prob
lens in the United States. We are
menaced with dangers we have
| never been threatened with, since
the day the Pilgrims set foot on
American soil.
If we do not hold fast to some
thing that we can trust and can
stand firm in our places In defend
ing what we know to be safe and
good, we may not be able to over
come the tide of evil which seems
to be rushing over this land of
ours.
We must unite and stand firm
for what we have tried and know to
be true.

She was doing some sort Of
IL fancy work, her white hands

complete that he, in spite of his
resolution to know his fate, hesi-
tated.
Helen stirred uneasily. His unusu-
al silence embarrassed her. She was
we'll aware that Lansing cared. for
her, that she had held him off by
her impersonal attitude; But she
his voice when he spoke to her,
had seen it shining in his eyes,
Ought he to speak? Gradually
his mounting passion overcame him.
His whole heart approved and ad-
mired her. The mans nature of
arms, work for her, possess her en-
tirely. The domesticity of the softly
lighted room, her bit of fancy work,
they two alone, all perhaps had its
effect.
''Helen!" his voice trembled.
"Yes-' she looked up bit
startled. Then a look of something
and she said yes" again, but in
a different tone, cold, detached, as
if by her voice she would hold him
back. All the while thoughts of the
blackmailer, who had threatened TO
go to Lansing, rushed over, her.
"Helen-I love you DEAR" he
stretched his hands toward her. Twill
you be my wife, dear?"
ooh! Why. did you say that" she
buried her face in her hands. She
had tried so hard to keep him just
friendly. When she raised her face
there was nothing in it but sorrow
and distress. A groan broke from his
lips.
you don't care-for me?" He had
not attempted to touch her, although
he stood very close He perceived
her distress, understood that she was
trying to be calm, to explain per-
haps. He stopped and took one of
her hands. What is it, Helen? Am
lis my love unwelcome?"
"'No-yes-please go! [ never shall
marry-any one!'
To herself she kept saying, 81

give" She had become very white.
He feared she would faint. He, too,
had turned pale. What was it? Why
had she resolved never to marry?
Her past-there was something that
in her pure ignorance she had held
to be unworthy of her Some little
indiscretton.
Tell me why you have made that
resolve, Helen?" Lansing still held
her hand, and it trembled like q
frightened bird in his grasp.
"I tried to stop you-not to let
you love me-ask me to marry you.
Please let us be just friends"

Maintaining Soil Fertility

Maintaining soil fertility is a mat
ter of the utmost Importance to the
people of the world. Unless this can
be done, harvests would gradually
grow less and less o until a point
would soon be reached when there
would not be sufficient food to go
around. When that time arrives, peo-
pie would starve to death or kill
themselves in struggle to obtain
the little food which might be re-
naming. Empires and Kingdoms
would fall away as they have I'M
doubtedly done many times in the
past, and the once rich and prosper
Gus countries which they over-repre-
scented would become barren wastes,

were dominated.

place thing that we cannot glamour
it over with romance or great
achievement. Nevertheless. 1t has
fought and won more battles than
all the swords in kingdom come.
The plow is an emblem of humility
and service. Let us keep it ever in
mind and remember that If intelli-
gently and skilfully used, it is one
of the main factors by which we may
hope to sustain and increase the fer
tility of the land through ages yet
unborn.
The progress of our agriculture is
based on the successful maintenance
of the fertility of the land. If there
is tendency for the soil to become
exhausted, it means that our crops
will be smaller and the cost of pro-
duction enhanced thereby. Such
condition soon brings about a state
of affairs where agriculture cannot
be followed with profit and success.

He often tells me he is coming to

always has a good excuse for not

Rents Farm-Has Sale

Charles Williams has rented mis- al
falfa farm near Viola and had pub
lie sale of personal property last
week. Despite unfavorable weather
and other conditions the sale was
quite satisfactory and all personal
property was sold at fair prices. MIR.
Williams, who had lived on that farm
19 years, plans to take life easier FOR a
time and will move to some town in
the Palouse country and rest. AT
present the family is living on the
Cox farm one mile from Viola, but
may move to Palouse. Mr. Williams
tried to secure a residence in Moscow
last fall and would have moved here
then could he have found place to
live during the winter. His youngest
daughter is attending school in Mos
