there was none who could tell her. No
body had heard of them. He had been
seen with the children in the next town
on the day after, but had not stopped
there. That was all.
1t was more than naturally cruel,
because a sort of survey had taken
place in her memory. She could not
remember the absurd, morbid Jim of the
months after the war. Only jim, the
handsome clerk, who could jump bet
ter, ride better, talk better, than any
body else. Brave Jim, wonderful Jim
who had been the first to join up
for freedom. Whatever had happened
surely was Of her doing. Insane, she
must have been. Yes, certainly, in
sane. lie would understand once she
put It to him that way. But how
was she to find him and explain?
There was, Of course, no answer
to that and by and by she grew to
understand It. And here the saga very
nearly stops. She was, of course, with
out money. For while she did odd
bits of work around Hebron and finally
hired OUT with family at London.
They treated her decently, and in time
some Of the old beauty came back
to her. There were many men of n
little substance in London who were
not ashamed to court this hired girl,
and her good -natured employer told her
she should ask the courts for divorce.
She would not hear the suggestion
twice. Jim, she was sure, had forgiven
her and she would wait until she found
him or he found her. What money was
paid her she spent on advertisements
and detectives.
After some years the family for whom
she worked moved to Lees Summit, Mo.
She went with them, but soon after her
employer died and the family was dis
rupted. She became housekeeper for
another family. But she was getting
old and the work grew too hard. She

PLAN FOR SUMMER SPRAYING
More Care and Attention Necessary
Than Work in Winter-combi-
nations Save Time.

Summer spraying requires more care
and attention than winter or dormant
spraying because summer sprays must
be applied after the buds or leaves are
started and hence when there is dan.
ger Of injuring the foliage. The com.
mon spray for the control of chewing
insects is arsenate of lead, but arse.
nate of calcium is gaining in favor.
Paris green is still used to some ex.
tent on Irish potatoes and tobacco.
Nicotine sulphate, or tobacco parts
sometimes called blackleaf. is effective
against plant lice. Bordeaux mixture
is an effective spray when reduced TO
summer strength for apples, pears
grapes and other fruits.
But there are combinations for vari.
Gus fungus diseases and insect pests
that save time and trouble and are
highly recommended by practical or.
chardists and gardeners.

Gainesville City
Council Considers I
Vego Hair Appeal

Incident to the removal of the
Vego Hair Manufacturing company
from Palatka to Gainesville an ap-
peal has been made to the council
for certain concessions by the COM
pany, through Manager Selle, and
that the petition is regarded favor
ably is indicated by the matter be-
ing referred to a committee. The
following report of the meeting of
council is from The Gainesville Sun:
Backed by recommendation for
consideration, passed by the Cham
Der of Commerce, the Vego Hair
Manufacturing company, which re-
Gently lost its. plant at Palatka by
fire, listed in the form of letter
to the city council a number of con-
ditions on which they would erect
their new plant in this city. The
company asked the favorable con-
sideration of the council to it's pro-
posals for concessions in the amount
of taxes that would be assessed
against the plant, and number of
other requirements and concessions
which would indicate the desire of
this city to have plant of the size
that they proposed to build, located
here.
"The company asked that they be
exempt from an occupational tax and
that tn emaximum property tax for
five years should be fixed at $25 per
annum. They also asked assurance
that the city would protect them
from complaints that might arise as
to their plant being nuisance. They
further asked that they be given the
lowest quantity rate on electric cur
rent and that the city eliminate the
quantity clause from their contract
viii the company. In addition to the
above it was requested that the city
arrange to put hard surface ap-
proach to the premises occupied by
the company. The above concessions
weer sought, it was stated, in lieu
of any financial bonus for locating
the fiber plant here.

featuring company was referred to
for consideration and rec
as to what action the
council should take in the matter"
