SOME FACTs ABOUT GRAPES

the most serious enemyp of the grape
in Missouri and affects both leaves
and fruit. On leaves it causes dark
spots that are larger on the lower
side. On the fruit it begins with
small spots that spread until the en-
tire fruit is covered and causes fruit
to dry and hang on the vine all winter.
If possible, plow under all leaves and
dried fruit in early spring or rake and
burn such trash. The spray calendar
for grapes is:
No. l.
What to Spray for-Anthracnote
black rot, downy mildew, insects
(chewing), aphids.
When to Spray--When second or
third leaf shows.
What to Use-Bordeaux 1850 plus
2 pounds powdered arsenate of lead
or A pounds paste form. Spray both
sides of leaves and canes. Veryi M

Stacked lime in water, adding the wa
ter very slowly until steaming uni
formly. After steaming has ceased
add water to make creamy solution.
The two solutions should be poured at
the same time into the spray tank.
Never use metal containers for bor-
deaux mixture.
Grape sprays should be put on at
the rate of 80 to 100 gallons per acre.
When fruit begins to form, spray di-
rectly on the berries, using fine noz-
zle.
Although it is too late to do any
thing for grapes this year, yet
thought should now be given for next

CHAPTER VIII.

Sudden peace and confidence flooded
her spirit. She sat on, dreaming and
planning but with no more mental dis
tress. With the prayer she had gained,
in some subtle fashion, a new self-re-
spect. She would not let him brighten
her again. after all, while she com
manded her own soul, Royal Blondin
could not hurt her.
And he shall not marry Nina.
either!" Harriet decided, going in.
stiff and cold. but full of resolution.
She looked at a clock-it was almost
four. Three hours sleep was not to be
despised, but Harriet was in no mood
for it. Instead She took a bath. and
just as the dawn was beginning to flood
the world with mysterious half-lights
and long wet shadows, she crept out
into the dewdrenched garden and. with
a triumphant sense of being alone,
went into the wood. Early walks
were one of her delights. 1t was al
most seven o'clock when she came
back, glowing, beginning to feel warm
and headachy, ls'ginning to realize
that The July day would be hot. be-
ginning to be conscious of the eight
mile tramp. In the garden at Crown
lands she met Royal, leaving the

He studied her approvingly.

ture Nina's marriage, their early days
together, the breakfast table, where
the crude little girl Numbered and
floundered in conversation, her helpless
devotion, that would annoy and exas-
perate him. She saw Nina's near
sighted eyes yelling with hurt tears
Nina's check book eagerly surrendered
to win from her lord few delicious
hours of the old flattery, the old atten-
ton.
1T would take a clever woman to
hold him." Harriet thought, "and it
wouldn't be worth clever woman's
while"
Nina-Ward-Royal-Richard. The
wearying procession began again. Roy
al might treat her with honesty and
honor. He was not small in everything,
and she had never done him harm.
But-there might come the terrible mo-
ment when she had to face Richard
with the confession. Yes, she had
known him before. Yes, they had en-
tered into tacit compact. Yes She
had kept from Nnas father a secret
that, while it might be unimportant,
certainly should have been told him.
Impossible to think the thing to any
conclusion! Too many possibilities
might alter the entire situation. If she
were married safely to Ward, for ex-
ample? But then she dared not mar
ry Ward until Royals attitude was
finally defined. For if her position
were dangerous now, what would it be
if she had committed herself irreyoca-
bly, to deception by marriage? Wards
young, crude intolerance sitting in
judgment upon his wife Harriet
shivered.
Suddenly she fell upon her knees,
and dropped her bright head against
the wide balustrade. For long time
Harriet had not prayed. But now, in
few words, and quite without pre-
meditation, there burst from her the
most sincere prayer of her life. She
looked up at the stars.
"God!' she said, softly, aloud. help
me! Make me do what is right, how
ever hard it is. Father, don't let me
make another mistaken"

lands, of her handsome son and her
young daughter, of the man whose pa
thence and cleverness had lifted her to
all this luxury from an apartment in
small town, would no memory of the
place she had held, and the friend
ships she had commanded, haunt her?
Truly there was always society for the
Isabelles, but to Harriet's clean sense
it seemed but the society of Jail.
81 wouldn't change places with her J"
Harriet decided, in the soft silence and
darkness of the summer night.
From Isabelle's problem her thoughts
went to her own, to Royal BlOndin. She
was wakeful and restless tonight sim
ply because she could not decide just
how much she need fear him. Firstly,
was there any reason for antagonizing
him, and secondly, would he hurt her
if she did? For Royal could not punish
her without Furnishing himself. and
could not Danish her from Crownlands
if he ever hoped to show his OWL face
there again. But Nina!
Was Blondin so bad? She tried to
ask herself the question honestly and
an honest shudder answered it before
it was fairly framed. She tried to pic

and unresponsieely. His social pleas
antries instantly antagonized her, and
he saw it.
well, I thought perhaps I had bet
ter get out. I'm at the club for day
or two Ward tells me-" he added, Civ
ing the girl sharp glance, that you
and he-ehY"
Harriet flushed.
I'm sorry he told you'll"
ooh, my dear child" Blondin made
a deprecatory motion of his hands.
"Of course, l think you're very wise"
he added.
This smote upon her newborn self
respect, and all the glory departed
from the day. The man saw her breast
rise and fall with some quick emotion
as he half-smilingly watched her.
1.-THE lad gets a beautiful and wise
and very discreet wife," he was begin
ming, but Harriet silenced him angrily.
"He loves me. l don't know what
a boys love is worth; he's only twen-
ty-two, after all. But he does love
mel But believe me, Royal, you
couldn't hurt meas you are hurting
me If there was no truth in what
you say Ward has had three years
at college-I've not been a member of
the family all that time without know
ing that he is not a saint! He has
lived as other men do-as women per-
nit decent men to live, L suppose.
Nina's different. She's younger. She
has never had an affair"
1--WE were not discussing Nlnaw
mo, know it. But you reminded
me that what l object to in you, with
her, l myself am doing with him-or
something very like it Except
that" Harriet f1oundered a little,
but regained her thread-"except that
he does care for me-" she repeated;
che loves beauty can say that to
you without your misunderstanding =
and then, he knows me, we have been
intimate for years, we are congenial ~
"He knows everything about you"
Royal repeated, innocently, as if the
defense she made were perfectly ac-
ceptable. But again she was stung to
silence.
Il am going to tell him frankly, ex-
actly what you have said to me-" Har-
riet said. presently, with decision and
relief in her voice Il shall remind
him that l have always been poor, and
that it is utterly impossible for me to
separate the thought of him from the
thought of what my life as his wife
would gain"
"Be careful how you play your hand
alone!" the man said. Half conf
dence isn't much more than none at
al"
A moment later they parted; the
woman entering the house for a cup
Of coffee, and some conference with
butler and housekeeper and the man
starting off br.skly for his early walk
But Blondin was smiling, as he went
upon his way, and Harriet was white
with anger and impotence.
9TH put everything else | have in
this world in the balance, Roy !" she
said to herself, in the sunshiny silence
of the breakfast room. But I'll hold
no more stolen conversations with
YOU I'll break my engagement with
Ward, I'll go to Richard Carter and
humiliate myself, I'll go back to Lin
.da's house without q penny in the
world-but I'll be done with you

his mothers attractive secretary.
Mrs. Carriers latest affair" is with
young Anthony Pope. and the
youth is taking 1t very seriously.
Presiding over the teacups this
summer afternoon, Harriet is pro-
foundry disturbed by the arrival of
a visitor, Royal Blondin. Next
day, at tea party in the city.
Blondon makes himself agreeable
to Nina, and leaves deep impress
sion on the unsophlsticated girl.
Harriet's agitation over the appear
ance of Blondin at "Crownlands'
is explained by the fact that he
had been a disturbing element in
her life ten years before and she
fears him. The man Is an avowed
adventurer, living on the gullibility
of the Idle rich. He frankly an
nounces to Harriet his intention of
marrying Nina, and urges her to
aid him. She is in a sense in his
power, and after pleading with him
to abandon his scheme agrees to
follow policy of neutrality
Knowing the tender feeling she has
inspired IN Ward Carter, Harriet
is tempted to marry him for the
position and wealth he can give
, her, though realizing she does net
love him, Blondin has ingratiated
himself with Madame Carter, Rich
ards mother, and she is whole
heartedly in favor of his marriage
with Nina. Ward urges Harriet to
marry him. She procrastinates.

going downstairs. But Nina proved

guest or two who came calling Har-

that Mrs. Carter was visiting with
misunderstanding a beautiful time, too,

Perhaps Nina suspected that some

her father to Harriet, and after

"Say, listen; are we going to dress?"

girls debated over pinks and blues,

But it was too late for any soothing
deception of Nina. A scene was In

Harriet's eye had only to go from
the prone form on the BED to the
crushed newspaper that had drifted to
the floor to know that the secret was
out. Isabelles face, radiant and hap
py, looked out from The page. 1t was
hanked by two smaller pictures, Rich
