 Because so seldom it is right A name that always has been good Twill often blacken over night.
 A ND then, too. name that is al . A ready black it will make blacker E still. You know how easy it is to suspect one who has done wrong once of doing wrong again, even when there isn't the least bit of proof Yes. sir suspicion certainly is hateful thing There is nothing that makes more un- happiness in this world Ask Sammy Jay; he knows. He is suspected of doing a great many things he doesn't do at all, just because he does some things which are not altogether nice. It is just the same way with Reddy Fox He is suspected of stealing a great many chickens he never so much as sees. Some blamed.
 { Now, when Danny and Nanny Mead low Mouse were missed on the Green Meadows each of those who hunted for |them suspected the others. Reddy Fox l suspected Old Man Coyote and Roughleg the Hawk and Hooty the Owl. Old Man Coyote suspected Reddy Fox and Rough leg and Hooty. Roughleg did the very same thing But after a while each dis covered that all the others were still [ hunting for Danny and Nanny, so then they tried to think of some one else to suspect
 Ore day Reddv trotted over under a tree in the top of which Roughleg the Hawk was keeping watch. Good born ing, Roughleg," said Reddy. ''Danny Meadow Mouse seems to have disap- peared very mysteriously. I don't sup pose you happen to know anything about : it."
 \ Roughleg's keen eyes twinkled as he looked down at Reddy Fox. And don't suppose that you really suppose that I would tell you if did," said he
 Reddy laughed. T don't suppose ] do," said he. But I do know that you don't know what has become of him, be. cause if you did you wouldn't have an swered that way. Besides, have been watching you and have seen you hunt ing for Danny. If you knew what had , become of him you wouldn't be wasting time that way. Be honest, Roughleg and tell me if you have seen the slight est trace of Danny
 "No, I haven't" replied Roughleg What is more, Old Man Coyote hasn't either, for he told me so, and you know Old Man Coyote has eyes almost as sharp as mine and a nose quite as keer as yours. Some one has caught Danny but don't know who it can be unless it is Hooty the Owl"
 Tt isn't Hooty," declared Reddy, "for I have watched Hooty and he still goes hunting for Danny every night. I have always looked on Danny as belonging te me, you know, ana I am rather put out

One Mother Says:
 I want my children to be alert in all the senses, so we have games that give practice to each of them: One that cul- tivates the sense of hearing they enjoy particularly. When neighboring chil- dren come in, all but one child is blind folded. The others sit in a circle while the leader silently carries a little bell into some remote part of the room or into an adjoining room. In a few min utes he tinkles the bell and silently re- turns. The first child who tells the To- cation from which the sound came may be "it'' next time.

Chapter XII mo YOU think you'll have sI chance to draw any hands to-

Chapter XII IIn YOU think you'll have a ssD chance to draw any hands to- day?" questioned Avril as she appeared at Ivan's studio with her port folio in her hand.
 "Of course I will, but aren't you coming in?" queried Ivan as Avri paused on the threshold.
 "For a minute, perhaps" she respond ed, handing the illustrations to him "When shall I call for them"
 "Why don't you stay until l finish them for you, dearest?' asked Ivan as he put his arms about her.
 Because I must hurry home and gel on with the others," replied Avril de murely.
 You're working too hard," he de clared as he drew her towards him "Just comics now. You've been at il day and night since you got the order?' Avril shrugged her shoulders, but sht did not try to escape from Ivan's pro tecting arm. She was weary, yet she we'll knew it was not from working She had not seen Don since she had written him, and of course after receiv ing her letter he had refrained from any attempt to cross her path.
 "Now, little girl" declared Ivan realizing that Avril would not stay any longer, 'I'm going to take you to dinner tonight and then we'll go to some show You need a change" Refusal was in Avrifs eyes, but al last she compromised. 'Oh, MT. Oura. noff, don't believe I can-at least haven't time for both, but I'd love to go to the theater.'
 "All right, I'll call for you this eve. ning," and kissing her lightly he walked with her to the door.
 "OA dear," murmured Avrl to her. self as she hastened down the stairs and with her filmy handkerchief sought to wipe away all traces of Ivan's caress from her pale cheek. II don't know what to do. I wish I'd never asked him to help me- I hate him! l hate him, but he seems to think l love him And his hands I cannot stand those cruel fingers!' Turning a corner she almost collided with a man, for with head bent down she was battling against the wind. Par. don me-" she muttered intuitively, and was continuing on her way when she heard Robert Barton's voice.
 "What's the hurry, Miss Delancey?
 "I'm merely running away from the wind. I thought you had gone west again."
 "Oh no, I expect to be here for few weeks longer" .
 Are you having a good time?" Avri asked as her amber eyes flashed. Are you?" he countered.
 "No, I'm in terrible pickle" she re piled, smiling.
 Barton looked solicitous. "Let mt help you"
 "Oh, it's only my work" she laugh ingly replied, afraid he might speculate 1 as to what phase of it was troubling her It'll be all right in day or two," sh' added. 'Have you seen Joyce lately?
 "No, how is she?"
 Cant say. Haven't seen her myself I

INTEREST GROWS IN

Gathering Will Be Held on
Farm of w. ]. Josey During
Next Monday Week

Il am gratified," said George O..
Marshall, county agent, TO-DAY sat
the interest being manifested in
permanent pastures in Sumter
county. After all is said and done,
it is the net profits of farming that
count. How to increase these net
profits is the question. u feed bills
are reduced there is more money
in live stock; and there is more
money in crops when yields are in
creased faster than costs of pro
duction.
'Fhe surest way to increase live
stock profits ii reduce he cost of
feed. Meetings will be held on the
Test Pasture of J. H. Meyers in
the 18th district at o a. m. and at
the farm of George Deriso near
Leslie at II a. m. on July 21st
which show how to do this, and are
we'll worth visiting and studying
this year"
The success of this Test Pasture

lished through the coo, Grafton of

arousing an interest in better pas
lures and encouraging tNe seeding
OF more than forty-three thousand
acres, has been most encouraging
and the Central of Georgia has de-
cided to try and stimulate similar
interest in methods of Soil Redin-
-tegration, which not only maintains
fertility of the soil but increases
the supply of plant food, and d
believed to be as essential to profit
able crop growing as pastures are
for stock raising.
The meetings will not be long.
There viii be an inspection of the
pastures, and an opportunity for
questions from those who want to
start similar pastures. George 0.

Agent, will talk briefly on methods

SEEK LONG
CREDITS IN SWEDEN

Stockholm, July 12.--Re-
quests from Russia for long credit
in Sweden, in some cases for
periods of three to four years: slow
business procedure and severe main
tenance Of the Soviet foreign trade
monopoly, combined with almost
insurmountable difficulties in the
way of private Russian enterprise,
are some of the thing encountered
by Swedish exporters dealing with
Russia under the new trade argee-
ment between the two countries,
according to a statement given out
by the Swedish General Export AS
ISOLATION.
Sinie the exchange Of ratifica-
tons Of the treaty May l the deals
closed have totalled not more than
about 100000, involving pur-
chases of such Swedish products as
paper, pulp, cream separators, steel
plates, and agricultural machinery
Although the Russians have in GER
tain cases asked for three or four
years postponement of payments,
no credit of more than six months
has so far been granted.
