THE WALL OF SILENCE

this afternoon. Mrs. Spencer called
up. Mr.. Spencers on his way out
for it now. David, help me! What
will ! do?"
David Connell looked at his wife.
His brain was struggling to grasp
something tremendous Margaret, the
strong, the self-sufficient, the impec-
cable one, was beseeching his aid.
you took the society's money!" he
said slowly
She nodded, her eyes filled with
shame.
What will I dor she moaned
again. 'I can't face him."
f. X Y +
nAvID was strangely calm. He
garet, while his bent shoulders
seemed to straighten and light came
into his faded gray eyes. He reached
into his trousers pockets and pro-
duced a roll of bills.
Margarets eyes dilated with aston
ishment, for he ordinarily carried no
money.
How much are you out?" he asked.
"Twenty-two dollars The words
came with a sob.
David counted the bills carefully
and put them into her hand.
II guess thatll fix it," he said
simply.
Margaret gasped with pitiful re-
lief. She had Just begun brokenly to
say something when the honk Of a
motor horn sounded from the hill.
There's your preacher" said Da-
vid. You'd better hurry" And
Margaret fed back across the fields.
'Ill give you the money myself and
save you the trip to town." she ex-
planned. "Then I can draw out the
missionary money the next time I go
| in." she told Mr.. Spencer.
When It was all over she stood In
the kitchen trembling from the ten
sion Of the last hour and its safe issue.
AS her hands moved mechanically
about the task OF getting supper her
| mind woke from its stupor of dread
and painfully went over all the facts.
Eefore her strong sense Of justice
and honor she stood convicted. She
| was no longer clad in her old armor
| OF righteous superiority. She was
chastened and humbled. 1t seemed
now that David suddenly lowered
| above her. In spite of all his short
comings, she knew that his charac
ter rested upon the bedrock OF the
elemental moral!ties. David would
never have touched money that was
not his own.
Her thoughts turned again TO the
miracle of her escape. Why had
there been no outbreak when he
heard of her guilt? And how had he
! come into possession Of the roll OF
| bills? She walked to the window and
| looked out abstractedly. Then all at
once she started. leaned forward and
| searched the pasture field with her
eyes. There was no mistake. The
golden calf was gone.
So that was the secret Of David's
sudden wealth, 1t was the colder
calf, then, that had saved her from
disgrace.
/ The pasture field, sadly empty Of
! the golden fash, spoke. too. of a mys-
| terry as great as that OF her owr
! tdownfall-t the motive that had
prompted David 10 sell his treasure.
! Through the silent evening meal
! she caught his eyes fixed upon her
with a questioning look, but the ex-
pected torrent of profane reproof did
not come.
When David finished he rose
slowly.
"There wasn't no letters today
he said
mo" Margaret replied. II dom
think We'll hear again from Abe"
"I s'pose not"
An unusual hint of disappointment
and Of resignation lurked in tn
tones. Margaret. noting it, watched
him curiously as he went out and sa
down on the steps.

fARGARET went back to her cal
Nl culations when she was once
moro alone in the kitchen. For
four years she had done with the
meanest, barest necessities for her
self. Every extra penny of her earn
ings had been sent to Abe. Now.
she realized, she would need every
thing. from hat to shoes. There
would have to be a small travelling
bag. too. The problem grew more
difficult as she considered.
She stood at the window, looking
out across the garden to the pasture
meadow beyond. Suddenly there was

JACKIE GOES FLOWER HUNTING

old dead locust tree. 1t was early

blooming, and by the time Jack had
located Uncle Will by the sound of his

little friend over to the north slobe of
the wood lot, and there coming up
through the dead leaves were hun
dreds of dainty blue, pink and white
fuzzystemmed flowers.
"Uncle Will. that's the prettiest

"Hepaticas. Jack. l think Mother

the plant liver wort because Of the
shape and color of its leaves, but it
isn't real liver-wort at all. Hepah-
cas- are the first flowers to come in
the spring. and have seen them
blooming in the snow. That is be-
cause they get their flower buds all
ready in the fall, and the leaves stay
alive all winter, to be ready to help
them grow and bloom as soon as it
gets little warm. They always live
in damp, shady woods. They are late
this year, so if we go down to the bot
tom of the hill think we can find
something else."
They went down the hill, and sure
enough they did find something else
"a whole clump of very white flow
ers with a pale green leaf partly
folded around each stem. 1t seems
almost as if the flower was in such
a hurry to bloom it could not wait
for the leaf to come out to protect Il.
80, what pretty flower! Just
like star, almost, isn't it. Uncle
Will? No. it isn't, though, cause it
has eight points instead of five.
What's its name. Uncle Will :" "This
one is blood-root. You NAV pick one
of these flowers. for I'd like for you
r. see where it gets its name"
So Jackie picked one of the flow
ers, and Immediately he knew the rea-
son for its name. His hand was
s+eined light red by the drops of
"blood' from the broken stem.
"This nlant doesn't pake its buds
in the fall like the hepatica does, but
it stores up food in it's big root, and
so soon as it begins to get warm in
the spring. it sends its new buds up
through the ground and pretty soon
it makes the woods beautiful with it's
snowy white flowers. This plant is
of use to US because it is used in some
medicines. but the Indians sometimes
used it also for war paint. The stain
sticks nrettv tight.
"But think hear Aunt Ida calling
US to dinner, so we'll have to leave the
other flowers till this afternoon"

Winter Wheat.

Denver.-The Colorado crop of wiIas
ter wheat held about steady in condi-
ton during the month of April, due to
good rains during the fore part of the
month in most districts except the east
central and southeast. The prelimin-
airy estimates Of May forecast a crop
of 1874, 900 bushels. This estimate is
based upon the May l condition of 60
per cent, representing about IL bushels
per acre for 1857, 900 acres left for
harvest from a sowing last fall OF
1,57S,000 acres. The abandonment, or
the acreage that was soWn last fall and
will be plowed up and put into other
crops or otherwise considered unfit for
harvest as winter wheat, amounted to
SO per cent of the area SOWn, COM
pared with 20 per cent last year and
9.6 per cent for the past five years.
The crop harvested last year amounted
to 16,406000 bushels, an average yield
of - bushels per acre on 1,262,OOO
acres. In 1919 the average yield was
only 1872 bushels per acre. Only I'M
der exceptionally favorable conditions
during the remainder of the season can
the yield exceed 10 or II bushels per
acre for the acreage remaining for har-
vest. Approximately 90 per cent of the
winter wheat of Colorado is grown
upon non-irrigated land. The nOn-irri-
gated farming sections in the northern
and northeastern parts have fair sur
face moisture conditions for the pres
ent, but the subsoil is considered defi~-
cient. The east-central and especially
the southeastern counties of the state
have been and are still suffering from
long continued drOuth, and more oE'
less wind and other winter damage
