long Flora McCray dashed herself fol

she remembered it, she had made all

and good to her.
The next morning, all of Willow
Creek knew that John Howard had
taken Flora McCray to Robinson's the
night before, and that he was going
to eat Sunday dinner with the Nc
Crays that afternoon. But the town,
as usual, was divided. One-half
claimed that the McCrays had to have

And in the whole town no one could
have been so thoroughly surprised as

said to him, Father, if Mr.. Howard
says anything to you about me, you
will tell him-that-I cannot marry

McCray and his daughter were walk

toward the church, when these words
were spoken. The mother had dropped

twinge of anguish, that the young

was only inspired by gratitude for her
generosity in releasing him from any

She met his eye, and thought she

thing that had been. Then, as she
looked down and away, all the sweet
ness and unreality of the nights ride

WIDE INTEREST IN SYSTEM FOR
FIGHTING R0UNDWORMS.

The system of swine sanitation
worked out in the laboratories OF the
United States Department of Agri-
culture and first put into farm prac-
tice in Mclean County, Ill, is at
tracing the attention of many far
mers elsewhere. The intestinal round
worm, which this system seeks to
eliminate, is now recognized as one OF
the most important causes of loss to
the hog raiser. Practically all re-
ports from localities where it has
been used have been favorable.
During the last - months the sys-
tenn was tried out in the experiment
al work in Mclean County on nearly
10000 pigs of both fall and spring
filters. In August practically all the
pigs were in remarkably thrifty con-
dition. and the farme rs are enthusi-
astic over the returns obtained from
the little extra care and labor ex-
pended
The Mercer County Gll) Farm Blu
reau has announced that it will put a
man to work lining up the members
for a work cleanup campaign similar
to that put on in Mclean County,
The Institute of American Meat
Packers has given special attention
to the roundworm work in the report
of it's committee on animal diseas es.
The president of the American Vet
Urinary Medical Association says that
this system of eradication is one of
the most important recent develop
ments in the hog industry. Bankers
in the Corn Belt are taking an in
test in the new plan, and one of them
in a neighboring State recently asked
leading farmer in his locality to
take trip to Mclean County to
make a careful study of it for the
benefit of all the hog raisers at home.
Briefly the system consists in thor
ough cleaning of the narrowing pens,
scrubbing the sows before they are
put into the clean pens, keeping the
sows and filters strictly in the clean
pens until they are hauled out to
worm-free pastures, where they are
kept away from contaminated hog
lots until the pigs weigh 100 pounds,
after which they are past the great
est danger from worm infection The
working plan may be obtained with
out cost by any hog raiser who will
write to the Department of Agricul-
ture. Washington, d. G.

err before found herself surrounded by
the masterful attentions Of young

and was amused, yet little startled,

one to pass things down his way as
Miss McCray was very hungry 1t was
new sensation to find herself part
of the merriment. Heretofore, she had
been only spectator at such scenes
And thus, with q mind isolated from
the vain world by such reflections, she
started with Howard on their home
ward ride.
It was clustering, cloudy night.
At first they chatted on about the
commonplace Of Willow Greek. Flora
McCray tried again and again to
associate her recollection OF the
familiar face of her fathers partner
with the smooth-shaven face so near
her In the night. Her repeated efforts
were tantalizlng. Little by little, did
the wizard of the night weave her
fancies, and then herself into the woof
of his uncanny spell. Not only was
she with a stranger, but she was her
self a stranger to herself. 1t may have
been the utter lonesomeness of the
night that drew her close to him, but
she came and was not afraid.
Again he reached over her, and
again tucked the wraps closer than
ever about her, and the fumbllng
touches of his hands awakened the
girls new self to a delightful reall-
cation of the fact that a new beng
had come to her out of the darkness.
She came even closer to this neW-found
presence, and almost cuddled against
the mans great coat, and Struggled I'M

the cushions behind her. Their talk
which had been growing more and
more serious, gradually stopped.
"Are you cold-dear?" the young
man asked, when he felt her come
close TO him. His words and his tone
startled the girl and almost broke the
spell. Flora McCray struggled a mo-

FARM WOMEN LEARN TO USE
BETTER MARKETING
METHODS.

Acting upon the advice of extern
sion workers, South Carolina women
have made steady advances in stand
ardizing the products they offer for
sale and in inc easing their output.
For example, in Charleston County,
starting with / woman two years ago,
there are now over 70 women ship
ping in weekly their graded and
guaranteed eggs. Two years ago no
one thought of fattening poultry be-
fore sending them to market. To-Day
no one thinks of sending poultry to
market without first fattening it.
The women realize as never before
that standardized fowl produces
higher-priced eggs and market poul-
try than a mongrel. The improve
ment in preserving is also marked.
Two years ago only one woman pro
duced really standard preserves and
jelly Now there are nine who can
for market and many others who put
up a few dozen to sell. The original
woman who sold preserves has so
developed her business that she has
built factory ard has planned for an
output of 10000 containers. The
members of the local home demon
stration club assist her and in this
way not only make pocket money for
themselves but improve their own
work, and in a few years the entire
community bids fair to be well
known for it's specialized products.
The number of dozen eggs sold, as re-
ported to the extension agent, is
8,142, and the pounds of poultry,
1867 The value of canned goods
actually sold is S512. and the total
amount of all products is S8,5O494.
In the State last year approximate
ly 5000 containers of such standard
lied products as Dixie burgoo, pink
bark fish stew, Brunswick stew, soup
mixture, blackberry jam, fig pre-
serves, plum jelly, grape juice, arti-
choke relish, and butter were put on
the market through the South Caro-
lima Home Producers Association.
This year contracts have been signed
for about 100000 containers.

and Mr.. McCray thought that the eve
ming mail would be in and distributed.
They put on their overcoats and were
in the hall, when the elder man
opened the dining-room door and said :
Mother, John thinks it's time to go,
and am going to walk down to the
post office with him.
When the front door closed Mrs. Nc
Cray said:
"What a nice young man John How
ard is, isn't he?"
ooh, yes, he is nice enough, guess"
answered the daughter, rising to go
to her room.
AS she neared the top of the stairs
Flora McCray quickened her pace.
She ran through the upper hall. Once
in her room, she went straight to the
dresser, where the rumpled hat was
still lying. The lonely girl stood be-
fore 1t a moment, and then, STOPPING
awkwardly, touched the crumpled vel
vet with pursed, uncertain lips, as one
ashamed. 1t may have been the dusk
in the room, or it may have been the
ghost of an odor from a cigar, that
transported this unschooled heart
back to the darkness, and the joy of
first caress. But dusk. or ghost,
or something, came to this shy girl
there, and nerved her whole being, so
that she was no longer awkward, no
longer uncertain, nor In any wise
ashamed. The pretty velvet toy she
made her shrine, and in her worship
she kissed it, rubbed it with her burn
ing cheek. and buried her face in its
sacred folds.
