We've decided to make you our legal
agent here and the retainer will be
satisfactory" he added naming a sum
that made Ellis catch his breath. "Of
course you will accept?"
When the whirling room had settled
Ellis came, TO with a gasp. He had
not sent the money, and yet the gruff
Scotchman had referred to it. What
could be
He looked in the direction of Ruth,
to find her dark head turned in his d.
rection.
81 couldn't help hearing, Barton.
What glorious opportunity she said
eagerly.
Dut something in her eyes-a look
beyond his analysis struck through
nina sense Of great hurt-Of love in
agony.
He sprang to his feet with single
cry, Ruth! ~
She came to him with rush, hiding
her face against his coat while his
arms pressed her tighter and tighter
to him.
"Ruth-you known"
Her head moved on his shoulder.
His heavy heart sank right down into
shadows that no human plummet can
ever sound, but the chill that went
over him brought the dead calm Of
despair.
Tell me. You saved me, but howT
he begged.
"You forgot that / had seen the
papers," she said, and then breath
lessly she told him how she had with
drawn her own small fortune left her
by her father and how making use Of
her experience I'm his office she had
seen to 1t that the administrators Of
the estate had the money. Her alb
sence had been on the errand. Her
work had brought Mclean.
Across the square the sunset thrust
again its farewell glow. He shiv-
cred bit. "YOu saved me-and here
in the desk is the money l planned to
steal" he said with the iron in his
voice and soul. And now l must lose
you, suppose, but God knows
She lifted Swallowed but tender
face to him. But II don't want to
be-to be lost ~
At the word he caught her again
to him, and with her he knew that,
cleansed and strengthened his feet
were to tread the old, old road of
toll and sacrifice over which love with
love has gone and will go, If not to
gold and glory, to contentment and
peace.

SOME NOVELTIES OF SOUND
Really Curious Phenomena That Have
Come Under the Observation
of the Physicists.

If, when the air is still, you stand
near a high wall and speak a word
loudly, IL will come back to you us II
repeated by an invisible person. 1t is,
of course, an echo.
Parallel walls separated by a few
hundred feet, as in canyon, may so
reflect sound as to cause 1t to be dis
tinctly heard again and again In
long-dying series of repetitions.
If the rejecting walls are irregular,
the repetitions, instead of being dis
tinct to the ear, will be mere jumbled
and unintelligible reverberations. This
is noticeable in certain caverns.
Prof. w. J. Humphreys, an eminent
physicist, describes curious phenOm-
enon which he calls an "acOustical
mirage" sounds uttered at distance
on the surface Of the earth seeming to
come from. high In the air. Such an
uplifting Of sound corresponding to
the uplifting of landscape by WIS.,
ual mirage) may occur when stratum
Of warm air ut the surface is over
laid by cooler air. The sound travels
faster at the top, and so appears to
come from alOft.
A ballOonist can often hear the
earth-echo Of his own voice when he
cannot, by shouting, gain the attention
Of people standing on the ground be-
low him. 1t Is because heat an alti.
tude Of fifteen hundred feet perhaps
is in a region of silence, whereas they
are immersed in a food of sound.

WASHINGTON A CITY OF GREY
Soft Silver Tone Blends With Foliage
of Magnificent Trees, in the
National Capital.

The color of Washington is soft
silver gray. 1t is hard to explain why,
because there are miles of green trees,
hundreds of little parks, and great
many red-brick buildings, but never
theless, if you will close your eyes at
the end of your first day Of sight
seeing in the city, you will have an
impression of beautiful, restful,
gentle, gray town. You will also have
that first evening an impression Of
open spaces. Washington is not a
crowded town In any sense. There
are no great congregations of people
Except at 8, -, and :30) there are
no real skyscrapers, buildings look as
If they had room to stand on; all wires
are underground; in the residence dis
tricts there are not only wide side
walks, but also parking of green
growing things that push the build
ing lines back, and wherever the big
avenues slice through the north and
south and east and west streets, the
slips Of land shipped off because Of
the diagonal cutting are added to the
intersection space or made into little
triangular patches Of park, and there
are scores of them.
Your picture, however, has another
very pronounced and. very beautiful
characteristic. Its gray tone Is
blended with, and its Openness is artis-
tically broken by, the profusion Of
foliage of Washington's 100000 mag
nificent trees. They flank every street,
frequently in double rows, sometimes
In four rows, as down Pennsylvania
ave. southeast, that heavenly boulevard
so little known to visitors, That is
really two avenues with a parkway
between. Practically every sidewalk in
Washington is shaded from the sun,
and many Of the streets, In spite Of
their unusual width, are veritable
bowers, formed by the interlacng of
giant branches overhead and down
which you ride under a great canopy
of verdure, with a dancing mosaic Of
sunlight and shadow under foot,

Barton at the
Crossroads
BY A. M. PEACH.

~
e. 1921. by Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate.
Barton Ellis looked with somber
eyes through his office window at the
tall building beyond the square, with
his thoughts on the problem before
him. He knew that he had come TO
the crossroads and the road that In
vited him was not the road that he
wanted to take.
In line with his gaze was the dark
hair and round cheek Of the girl who
was worth far more than the meager
salary he had been able to pay her
from his lawyers income. She had
been faithful to him; and quiet COM
radeship had grown up between them
until the thought of losing her had be-
come constant worry to him.
He turned to the papers on his desk.
The estate which had been in his care
was to be settled. He had handled 1t
s so we'll that it had yielded $4,000
more than any one would suspect. BY
the $4,000 would be his, and no one
In the world would ever be the wiser.
With that money he could place him
self in position that would bring
more opportunity, end his present
hand-to-mouth struggle and make pos
sible, perhaps-a home, and in spite
Of himself he glanced at the dark
head and watched the white, capable
fingers busy over his letters.
He withdrew from the papers In
front of him set of three, and fold
ed the others into the envelope. The
perspiration broke out over him, and
he wavered; then he sealed the en-
velope His foresight had made pos

SPRAYING CELERY TO

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Celery plants should be sprayed with
bordeaux mixture every ten days to
two weeks to prevent leaf diseases,
which often seriously injure the crop
for market purposes. These leaf spots
occur generally in ceIery-growing dis
tricts in the United States during cool,
moist weather. Homemade bordeaux,
composed Of pounds bluestone Coop
per sulphate) and pounds stone lime
to 80 gallons Of water, is the cheapest
and best fungicide for the purpose.
The spraying should be begun while
the plants are still in the seed bed and
continued throughout the season. The
sprayings should be more frequent
during moist, cool weather favorable
to the development Of the leaf spots

HOW Can YOU TELL your
FAVORITE TOBACCO?
As Plain as the Nose on Your
Face-Just Smell II

Smokers do not have to put tobacco
in their pipes to find out if they like it.
They can just rub the tobacco between
the palms of their hands and smell it.
The nosejs an infallible guide to smok-
ing enjoyment.
All smoking tobaccos employ some
flavoring "to improve the favour and
burning qualities of the leaves, to
quote the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Naturally, there is considerable differ
ence in the kind of fiavorings used, and
the nose quickly detects this difference.
TUXEDO Tobacco uses the purest,
most wholesome, and delicious of all
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. And the almost
universal liking for chocolate in great
measure explains the widespread popu-
larity of TUXEDO Tobacco. -
Carefully aged, old Burley tobacco,
plus dash of pure chocolate, gives
TUXEDO Tobacco a pure fragrance
your nose can quickly distinguish from
any other tobacco. Try it and see.

sible the thousands. They would be
his.
The golden glory of the late sunset
touched the great building beyond the
green square. He closed his desk with
a trembling hand, and turned.
''Time to quit Ruth. Suppose we
go to lunch together" he suggested.
She looked up with smile from
eyes over which the long lashes laid
their darkness. "Just three more
lines, please" she said, land I'll be
ready"
Outside the building they turned In
the direction of a favorite restaurant.
On the way he came to mail box,
and he held the long envelope ready
to drop it in. For second he
paused, then he dropped the letter in
and started quickly along.
Over the shaded table In the quiet
corner of the little restaurant he faced
her. Never had she seemed SO sweet,
wholesome and sincere to him, with
the memory Of his own guilt upon
him.
Ruth, l sometimes wonder why
you are willing to help me when you
could command better conditions and
salary than 1 can give you," he
Queried.
She lifted her direct gaze. "Please
don't talk shop. II LIKE think
you have a future before you, and 1
want to be In it," she answered.
"I1is future" The phrase hurt as
he thought of what lay in the darkness
of the mail box. He turned the con-
versation, and they chatted of this
and that, "the nothlngs that make up
life" until they parted.
The next day at the Office the bot
tom fell out of the sky, for she sent
him word that she would not be at
the office. His own sense Of guilt
heavy upon him, he figured franticaIly
on ways by which she might have dis
covered his act. But the day after
she appeared, the same winsome COM
forting presence that had come to
mean so much to him.
On that day he received his second
shock. On that day into his Office
came the gray-headed Mclean, head
OF the great investment firm Of the
north of the state. Quickly he came
to business.
"ElIis, / happen to know of the fine
way you handled the Dartmore estate.
1t was u clean ten or twelve thousand
above what was normally expected.

and farther apart In dry, hot periods.
Apply the mixture thoroughly with a
pump which will give very fine misty
spray that will cover the plants but
not run down the stalks and thus dis
figure the stems.
Since the disease is carried over
winter on the seed and In the soil
where diseased celery was grown the
previous year, it Is important that new
soil be used in the seed bed or the old
soil sterilized by steam, hot water or
formalin solution and that disease-free
seed be planted.

CONCRETE FLOORS ARE BEST
Farm Animals and Increase Prof
Its for Farmer.

A concrete barnyard makes a fine
exercise lot In all kinds Of weather
and always affords a dry spot for the
animals bed. Every shower washes
the surface clean and Pushes the
droppings into the manure pits. Con-
crete yards Tighten the work Of the
housewife, as there is no mud to b"
tracked on the walks and kitchen
floor. The use Of rubber boots is un.
necessary. On concrete floors not q
particle of grain need be wasted. The
way to the water trough is always dry,
smooth and passable. Concrete, floors
promote and protect the health of farm
animals and increase the profits Of
farming, stock raising and dairying.
