CHAPTER Y.
On the Brink,

For fortnight Elise Wanted for the
dismissal she deemed inevitable, and
for fortnight Lolette watched her
slyly, her yellow eyes aglow. In that
time Elsie found something freshly
sinister about her mistress. Lolette's s
reviling ceased. No longer was the
shrill. piercing voice lifted in invec-
tive; no longer were the ears of Elise
assailed by that sonorous insult of
which the French tongue is peculiarly
capable.
I-olette was quiet. She spoke softly.
She said please" and thank you"
Once she used the word "cherie." 1t
will be understood that there were no
delicate shades of subtlety in Lo-
lette's nature. She was not as Nor
dac, finding the easy. smooth way
through life, avoiding the corners and
the hills with facile elusiveness. She
was mentally the same as her out
ward appearance. all fiaring color. ex-
tremes of light ad shade. and when
she wished TO be cunning with Elise
she oyerdid il.
For in her quietnesS and her new
found politeness Elise read a threat
unutterable. To her strained imagi-
nation il was as though some deadly
creature drew back, breathleSs,
watching, able to pounce and destroy
at any moment, but wishful Of pro-

for Marthe's benefit, had quick Wis
ion of Lapierres gray hairs, his age,
his rounded shoulders; of Brunei, as
he had gripped her arm that night;
of Mordac's deep eyes smiling at her
across the silver brush outheld in his
slim hand.
"Ah-love"' she said bitterly. And
though their beds were SO close to-
gether Marthe did not hear her cry
ing.
Sometimes, in those days Lolette
talked to Elise in half-frlenoly,
half-patronizing way. with little
undercurrent of cold sneering be

she could not altogether eliminate.
1t was after a matinee, ana Elise
was kneeling at Lorette's feet. put
ting on the dancers walking shoes.
"I understand from Heloise that
you dance. Is it true?"
Elise looking up. slightly fushed.
ut is nothing, madame. Sometimes
they have persuaded me to-to try.
She hardly knew how to express it.
"HeIoise tells me that you are good
at it-that you have danced some OF
my dances up here in the dressing
room. Is that so?'
Elise wondered why old Heloise
should babble so. and wondered how
long Lolette had known that some
times TO amuse the others. she had
initiated Lolette while Lolette was on
the stage and the echoes of her dance
music reached up from the orchestra.
She made frank confession. Il
don't think | am good, madame, but
have always loved dancing.

gied menace and triumph in Lolette's
purring voice And you initiate me,

Sometimes in those days, also. Elise
saw DR.. Lapierre and more than once
he commented on her growing pale
ness.

There is breakdown coming unless

And always she told him that she
must go on.

of the hair was dull, the face was
worn and drawn and white, and the
eyes were dimmed and torn with
suffering and longing. Marthe was
not beautiful like Elise, for Marthe
had lain on her back through three
long years of patient suffering, while
Elise battled for and DR.. Lapierre
tended her
One night Elise found Marthe lying
awake when she returned from TIE
theater. and she lifted her frail, thin
hand as Elise entered the room.
Hello, Elise. " There was q little
excitement in Marthe's voice which
drew from Elise a quick inquirine
look. Il have had company this eve
ming. Doctor came in to talk to me-
"pr. Lapierre?"
Who else? He thought | might be
lonely. so he dropped in"
Il see" Elise removed her hat and
took off her jacket. Marthe lay and
watched her for a space silent Then
she said suddenly: Elise. Did you
know the doctor loves you?"
Elise dropped her jacket. She was
rosy from throat to forehead. Marthe
nodded eagerly and went on. He
told me SO tonight. 1t was like a Bit
out of those stories you read to me
just like that. He was very earnest
and solemn. He said he would like to
marry you. and then he would care
for both OF us properly"
"fie was joking" said Elise. lamely
still red. 1t was, she thought, unfair
of Lapierre to choose this method OF
furthering his suit.
He wasn't" Marthe's eyes were
wide and unnaturally bright. He
meant ii. He was speaking the truth
knew that. Do you think you would
marry him, Elise"
Elise shook her head He is jok
ing, she repeated. why should he
wish to marry me? And now, look
You have excited yourself and you
will feel i'll tomorrow. You must rest
and get to sleep.
Marthe was disappointed and lay
watching Elise as she undressed and
until she got into bed, leaving alight
the little lamp which always burned
by Marthe's head all through the
night. Elise was smuggling down be-
tween the sheets when Marthe touch
ed her timidly
Elise. I can't sleep. Ny head is
all whirring-like wheels. Tell me d
story. one of your own about love"
So Elise sat up, with her hair tum-
bled gloriously about the whiteness
pitiful, almost incoherent stringing
together of romantic Incidents. with
always the beau chevalier and the
beautiful maiden dominating it; while
Marthe lay back and listened, and saw
dream castles lifting on the wall at
the foot of the bde.
When Elise had finished. Mart he
said sleepily: You tell me these
stories of love, Elise. and yet when
love comes to you you pass 1t by"
Elise, still with the memory of the

longing the sport to the ultimate sec
ond.
1t was. perhaps, a small matter, this
losing of her position; yet Elise mag
nified it to the crisis of her life. and
found an innate. inexplicable justifi-
cation for doing so. She may have
been clairvoyant in those days, as
people are sometimes when they
stand on the brink OF mighty change.
On the horizon of her life the clouds
were gathering. She could feel the
net of circumstances closing about
her, and yet could point to no tangi-
BILE indication of its presence. She
was gripped fast in the fingers OF
destiny, and must go whittier those
fingers placed her. So she trod for
ward. afraid, shivering, waiting, un-
derstanding within herself that she
had but to leave the theater, to get
away from Lolette, to escape that
which was threatening her, and yet
knowing that il was impossible for
her to take the step. She must go on
she must meet whatever fate held
in store for her.
She stayed much with her sister,
Marthe, in those days, in their little
room high above the Rue Jacques,
within stones throw of Sacre
Coeur. 1t was a long room, with a

AGRICULTURAL NOTES
BY H. G. seyforth.

A call came to this Office last week
from party who has flock of 80
turkeys, saying that some of them
were sick. One of the birds that
seemed to be the worst was sent to
Madison. Word was received from
the post norton that LESSONS of
blackhead infection were found on
10th the liver and intestines. Black
head is serious disease among
turkeys, occasionally effecting adult
turkeys, and occurs frequently among
young turkeys from weeks to 4
months old. The disease is such that
unless the bird is killed and an ex-
animation made of the internal or
CANS, it is difficult to tell whether the
disease is blackhead or not. The
heads of the turkeys some times turn
dark, but that is not always an in
dication that the affection is black
head, as it may turn black from other
ailments. The birds drink a good
deal but refuse to eat and steadily
grow weaker until they die. Diarrhea
generally occurs and the droppings
vary from white to dark brown, gen.
orally they are of a bright yellow
color. On opening turkey which
has died of blackhead, one or both
coca of "blind guts," are found to be
enlarged and blocked with a cheesy
material, and the liver is more or
less covered with spots varying in
color from grayish white to yellow.
No positive cure for blackhead has
been found but as in all cases of in
fictitious diseases, to prevent further
spread of the disease, a sick bird
should be removed from the flock
immediately, and if very sick should
be killed and burned. Clean out the
roosting places and spread lime in
places most frequently used by
turkeys. Keep a disinfectant in the
drinking water. Potassium Perman-
ganate is most often used. AS much
of above chemical as can be placed
on dime should be used for every
gallon of water. If the turkeys are
being fed heavily, the ration should
be reduced. Feeding of sour milk
has been found an agent in keeping
turkeys in good health and reduces
organisms causing blackhead. Free
range and care not to over feed are
most important. If you have any
sick turkeys and are in doubt what
is the trouble, box one up and send it
by express prepaid to DIR. B. A..

Have You This Habit?
By Margaret Morrison
RoBBER OF INITIATIVE


TURTLE LAKE was the haven Of
4 all young married people for the
first five years. OF the little settle
ment, Mrs. Strong alone had children
In their teens. Certain frivolous citi.
zens intimated that Mrs Strong had
so long been saying that Turtle Lake
was q garden spot in tone of voice
that defed gainsaying, that she could
not openly go away.
During the June of Althea Gays ar
rival at Turtle Lake. Mrs. Strong gave
a garden party in her honor. When
Althea was about to take her leave.
Mrs. Strong asked Have you seen
my onions? Althea said NO" you
can't go home without seeing my
onions" was the reply. "Oh your hus'
band will understand-you must see
my onions No, tomorrow is uncertain
ycn can't miss my onions" And as
Althea followed her vociferous hostess
her ears seemed to ring with "Onions
Onions Onions! !"
The next day at the local grocers
she caught the accents of an easily
recognized voice you won't forget
to send my order? You'll remem,
Der that | want my order before
lunch? / must have my order without
fail-you'll see to it yourself, won't
your" Then Mrs Strong turned away
and Althea heard one clerk tell an.
other, "Oh, she always goes on like
that"
One rainy morning that summer AL.

Mrs. Strong was getting her family off
to their several destinations. Her huS.
band was on his way to a town meet.
ing, and Althea knew that if the vii
cinerator that year it would not be
Mrs. Strong's fault. The children were
warned ten times to put on their rub
bers and take their umbrellas. There
was simply no chance for independent
incompetency on their part.
Three years later Mrs. Strong's JOY
and pride, her only son, was sent away
to school. OF all the human beings
upon whom she had expended her force
of character, this was the one whom
she had most closely followed up,
whom she had most talked to and al
and over. Althea Gay was present
when he went off amid a perfect
broadside of ADMIRATION. And several
months later AHhea Gay was calling
on Mrs. Strong when the tragic blow
to her pride fell. Her son had been
dropped. He had no vices, no evil
ways-if so, his masters wrote, there
would have been more hope for him
he was simply weak, he had no force,
no character. there was no place for
him in the school. His mothers habit
of overemphasis had pounded all the
spring from his makeup and left him
flabby.

1t has come to the attention of the
National Butter, Poultry and Egg
association that a peculiar sickness
afflicts the live poultry which is
reaching various markets in the
country. The sickness afflicts ali
ages and breeds. The disease has
been diagnosed as a form of pneu-
monia. The bird appears bright and
healthy Cor several days after being
confined and then suddenly develops
sickness and dies. The situation
is serious enough to require TIE ut
most precautions to see tnaT birds
suffering from sickness or not in
good physical condition are not per-
mitted in interstate shipments. Such
birds should not be pellnitted to
leave the farm. Anyone selling their
poultry should feed liberia 4 mounts
of grain for considerable time be-
fore marketing to enable the birds to
take on sufficient strength to with
stand the severe weather changes in
curing in the usual haul from farm
to market.
Anybody wishing help in regard to
farm buildings, sewage disposal and
water supply, can get such help by
requesting the same at this office.
An extension specialist along this
line can be obtained. Or if demon
stration in the building of septic
tank is wanted, such can be obtained
this fall or early next spring by
making the request soon.
