Dear Annie Laurie.--What would

YOUR SHEETS.

To keep your plants from dying
while you are spending that two
weeks vacation away from home put
a good sized pail of water on level
with your plants. Get a very loosely
woven, absorbent rope or cord. Put
it in the water with the other end
Ringing just above your plant or
resting on the earth at the roots. This
supplies enough moisture to prevent
drying up.

most prosperous bOotieggers OF our city.
The crossroads at Fender are the
Little River turnpike and an old
dirt road which comes from many
places in the northern part of Fair
fax county. passes Pender and goes
on crookedly south from that ctle-
brated hamlet until il joins the War
T+nton turnpike about TWO miles from
| Peuder. 1t is called the MILAN road
after an old and influential family Of
, the region. and through the Lands of
this family the road runs part of its
course. Ii may be that the road got
ifs name because some member Of
the MILAN family many years ago
gave the land on which it was laid
down., but on that point the Rambler
is Specializing. The MILAN home
stead stands far back from the road
in the shelter and embrace of beau
tiful grove about mile south of
Pender. and sometimes the Rambler
will do himself and his readers the

to judge. Anyway his bright brown
eyes seemed to be glued on Inez. and
his full red lips were half open in
one of his little, well gloved hands on
the door of the car. as If he had half
mind to hop out.

toward him.

"Yes-s-s?" says Inez, still returning
the stare.
BY this time some OF the other men
in the car had grown wise to this

they acted somewhat disturbed by it.

TWO or three big farm clearings are

the Ballard farm and another on the
MILAN farm. You are on the battle
field of Chantilly. The Confederates
called it the battle of Ok Hill. and
good many readers of these lines will
probably think that the Confeder-
ates were higher authorities on this
subject than their cousins In blue.
The Confederates knew their Vir-
ginia geography better than the fed
erals. and on this particular field they
fought a good deal better than their
northern cousins. Ok Hill would
seem to be the more righteous name
because the woods and fields in which
nearly all the killing was done were,
and still are. on Ok Hill.

name given to an extensive grant of

region Of tragic memories and
historic associations, where we
spent a few minutes Sunday be-
fore last, and the Rambler hopes that
in that brief visit you found some
facts and thoughts to entertain you.
At the close of the "ramble" last week
it was written: "Please understand
that although another Chantilly story
is due you. you will be served with
another Evansville story wherein you
will be told much about Gen. Ammen
and Admiral Ammen, and something
about the Vans II can find it." 1t is
very easy to construe that as a prom
Use, and the Rambler finds it easier to
keep that promise than some he has
heretofore made in these annals. And
this promise being easy to keep. will
be kept.
In going back to Chantilly we will
skip over the three and half miles
proved sections. that lie between the
village Of Fairfax Court House and
the hamlet Of Pender. 1t is an inter-
esting road. and there are many
things along it which the Rambler
has not seen and some that he has

Gheen's general store. Tom kidwelrs

where the Rev. Mr.. Thrasher ex-
pounds doctrine and lays the law
schoolhouse where Miss Tracy Gaines
reigns. And in writing that last line
the Rambler recognizes the relation
ship between the words reign" re-
gina" and "reine."
At the crossroads store you can be
supplied with most things that you
may need for this journey or any
other. You can buy gasoline, cigars
