"Now, Allie Baa, the rag doll, lived

Great Aunt Mary lived in. Now and

Allies mother, and once in a while
Allie received a letter from Great
Aunt Mary.
Allie always sent Great Aunt Mary
Il birthday present. and she always
sent her a Christmas present. too.
She used to receive a nice Christ

year-sOmetimes 1t was something to
wear, or perhaps a little toy, or a
piece Of pretty ribbon or maybe Il

Now once one of Great Aunt Mary's
letters to Allie was so nice that
Allie wanted to enjoy it-nOt only with
other dolls but with children-espe-

OF curse Allie felt that all Of
Great Aunt Mary's letters were nice,
but she did want to share that special

others.
Now others liked that letter that
Allie received from Great Aunt Mary,
and some asked Allie If she wouldn't

SO Allie was delighted, and here Is
Great Aunt Mary's Christmas letter to
Allie thanking her for her Christmas

Great Aunt Mary had sent mes

write her last, as she knew Allie would
not take offense, and that it was bet

This was the letter:

Dimly, as through a red screen, Fair

The girl looked anXiously toward an
inner room, where Fairchild could see
family the still figure of a man out

fashioned four-poster.
"They-they-got him excited. He
had another stroke. IL couldn't

child CURLY to the ROdaines, with a
suggestive motion toward the stairs.
They hesitated a moment and Maurice
seemed about to launch himself at
Robert, but his father laid q restrain

elder ROdaine hesitated.
"Im only going because Of your
father" he said gruf1y, with a glance
toward Anita. I'm not going be-

"Oh, I know. Mr.. Fairchild
shouldn't have come in here. He
shouldn't have done 1t. I'm sorry

Down the steps they went, the old

awaited Anita, who had suddenly sped
past him into the sick-room, then was

"Yes," came her rather cold answer,
only to be followed by a quickly wills

tones became louder-so that they
could be heard at the bottom of the
stairs: "You can help me greatly
simply by going and not creating aDv

"But-"
"Please 60" came the direct answer.

CHAPTER lX--Contlnued.

From far away the drone Of the call
or sounded In a voice familiar, and
Fairchlld looked up to see the narrow
eyed, SCARED face Of Squlnt Rodaine,
who was officiating at the wheel. He
lost interest In the game; lackadais-
ically he placed the buttons On their
squares as the numbers were shouted,
finally to brush them all aside and de-
sert the game. His hatred of the Ro-
DANES had grown to q point where
he could enjoy nothing with which
they were connected. where he de-
spised everything r@with whlchb they
had the remotest afiliation-excepting,
Of course, one person. And as he rose,
Fafrchild saw that she was just enter
ing the dance hall.
Only a moment he hesltated. Maui
rice Rodaine, attired in a mauve frock
suit and the inevitable accompanying
beaver, had stopped to talk to some
n at the door. She stood alone, look
ing about the hall, laughing and nod
ding-and then she looked at him
F%airchild did not wait.
From the platform al the end Of the
big room the fddles had begun to
squeak, and the caller was shouting
his announcements. Couples began to
line up on the floor. The callers voice
grew louder:
zone more c~Ouple-then the dance
starts. One more couple, lady an a

reached her and was holding forth his
hand. She looked up In half surprise,
then demurred.

Neither do Tor any other, for that

boldness. "But does that make any
difference7 Pleased"
She glanced quickly toward the
door. Maurice Rodaine was still talk
ing, anti Fairchild saw a little CLEAN
come into her eyes-the CLEAN that
shows when a woman decides to make
some m pay for rudeness.
Fairchild's hand was still extended.
Again Anita Richmond glanced toward
the door, chuckled to herself while
Fairchild watched the dimples that the
merrfment caused, and then-Fairchild
forgot the fact that he was wearing
hobnnlled shoes and that his clothes
were worn and old. He was going
forward to take his place on the dance
door, and she was beside him
Some way, as through a haze. he
saw her. Some way he realized that
now and then his hand touched hers,
and that once, as they whirled about
the room. in obedience to the monarch
on the iddler's rostrum, his arm was
about her waist, and her head touching
his shoulder. II made little difference
whether the dance calls were obeyed
after that. Fairchild was making up

had stepped forward.
Certainly. But not as q deputy.
Who wants to volunteer"
Half q dozen men came forward,
and from them the sheriff chose two.
Falrchild turned to say good-by to
Anita. In vain. Already Maurice Ro-
dame had escorted her, apparently
against her will, to a far end Of the
dance hall, and there was quarreling
with her. Fairchild hurried to join
the sheriff and his two deputies, just
starting out of the dance hall. Five
minutes later they were in a motor car,
chugging up Kentucky gulch.
Slowly, The motor car fighting
against the grade, the trip was ac-
complished. Then the four men leaped
from the machine at the last rise be-
fore the tunnel vas reached and three
of them went forward afoot toward
where a slight CLEAN of light came
from the mouth Of the Blue Poppy.
The sheriff took the lead, at last to
stop behind a boulder and to shout q
command:
"Hey you, In there"
"'Ey> yourself" 1t was Harry's
voice.
"Come out-and be quick about 1t.

And almost instantly the form Of

with it's ~spraylike mustache, appeared
at the mouth Of the tunnel.
"What the bloody 'ell?" he gasped,
as he looked into the muzzle of the

per acre from grazing down soy
beans. There are naturally great
variations in the amount Of grain
produced on given acre Of land,
due sometimes to fertilization. some
times to seasonal conditions, and
often to the variety chosen.
The soy bean has the same gem
eral adaptability for planting and
cultivation on soil types as tho cow
pea. This crop is generally bene'
fitted by an application Of lime.
Crushed raw rock can be used for
this purpose, and may be put on
at the rate of 1000 pounds and up
ward per acre. We would prefer
to see a ton applied and the appli-
cation made once in three years.
The seeding of soy beans should
not be undertaken until the weather
is fairly warm and settled IN the
spring, though this crop will stard
cooler weather than the cowpca. 1t
is best to plant in drills So inches
apart. Cultivate lightly with Il
weeder to hold weeds in check until
the plants grow and spread across
the row sufficiently to entirely
shade the soil. When planted in
this manner it takes about one-half
bushel of seed to plant an acre.
Among the best varieties to
plant for the purpose you have in
mind are the Virginia, the Black,
the Mammoth Yellow, the Wilson,
the Pekin, or the Haberlandt. The
Brown and Tarheel have also made
a good record here in our demon
stration plats. Wesfhing these va
rieties should be selected in about
the order named. Some of these
mature in a shorter time than 9TH
ers. 1t is desirable to plan an early,
a medium and q late variety so as
to extend the grazing period as long
as possible.
We would not begin to Craze soy
beans until they are well into the
dough stage. It is best to have the
area of land which you expect to de-
vote to this crop divided into rela-
lively small sections so that you
can transfer the hogs from one to
the other.
