MAKING GOOD IN
A SMALL, TOWN
Real Stories About Real Girls
By MRS. HARLAND H. ALLEN
PANSIES FOR PROFIT

ID ANsIEs for thought" the flow
er-lover says; yet, paradox
cally, when it comes to raising a gar
den speciality for the market she sell
dom thinks of them.
A little pansy-specialist l know
tells me that the pansy is the best of
all flowers for the girl-gardener who
is novice at her work. This par
ticular pansy-specialist lives in town
of only 5000 people; yet she never
has to go outside it to sell her flow
ers-so l take her word for what she
says.
"All you need is a south window
and some pansy Seeds" she tells peo-
pie. "You put your seeds in some
good earth and the sunshine does the
rest
II get the very best seed" she ex-
planned in more detail "Then I bore
holes, for drainage, in wooden boxes.
Then plant my seeds, exactly accord
ing to the directions on the packet.
The seeds should be planted neither
too deep nor too near the surface, and
should be pressed down well. They
should be watered regularly with a
fine spray, and kept warm.
when the first plants appear, they
should not have too much light They
should be kept partly covered. And
when the little shoots get a good
start, they should be transplanted
into another box After that, all the
pansy- grower needs to do is to give
the plants proper amounts of sun and
air.
If the pansy grower prefers, she
may, when she transplants the young
plants, put them into the garden in
stead Of into other boxes. In the win
ter time, the beds should be lightly
covered.
The pansies may be sold in baskets.
They may be sold in punches, as
boutonnieres FOR use at club dinners
and parties. But when they are sold
in pots, the pansy-grower will prob
ably make her best profits, since the
flowers keep better in this form. She
could use either ordinary pots in
smallest possible sizes; or get diminu-
tive fancy pots or holders.
The girl with an artistic eye and
skilIful hand will increase her sales
still further by artistic arrangement
of the flowers in these little center
pieces.
AS for her market-she may adj
vertise in her local papers, or have
"pansy sale" and tea in her own
home. She may succeed in selling
her flowers to candy stores and to the
town hotels. If there is a florists
shop, she can usually find sale for
her wares there. Sometimes grocery
stores Or other shops will exhibit
them, and sell them on commission.
The girl-gardener may be fortunate
enough to get an order from florist
in large neighboring city for cut
flowers to be sent. two or three times
week. BY working out different
methods of selling, she will be able
really to apply the phrase "pansies
for thought"

| if you insist on riding with newell,
l can't help it. Only, I warn you, you
are going into danger-grave danger.
Those two men-I am afraid they may
be planning to do you some injury"
"I don't think they are likely to try
very hard" answered Lee.
.But-but others" she whispered.
ut is not only they!
"You begged me to trust you. You
said that you would do anything to
serve and help ME. Did you mean
that?'
"Anything that is possible"
"Anything?" she persisted.
eff it lies in my power
"Then would you-would you kill a
man for me-? A human wolf, one of
those devil creatures that does not de-
serve to live? Would you kill him to
serve me?
"Wait before you answer. He is
man who has betrayed those who
have trusted him, made humanity q
mockery; he is the foulest thing that
creeps upon the earth. Earth should
be rid Of him. If / help you, will you
shoot him down like the savage dog
that he is, in cold blood, without dam
ger to yourself, while he is sleeping?
If / help you?'
"No,' answered Lee quietly.
She laughed in hooking scorn. $50

with your professions Of loyalty and
seryice-you're all the same when it
comes TO the test
Il won't commit murder in cold
blood and without provocation"
mo, OF course not. You see, there
might be just a little danger in it. He
is very crafty, and your offer of serv-
ice didn't include personal risk"
Lees fingers closed on her arm.
ssThat's not the way" ne said zone

even up scores by murder. Tell me
everything and pledge myself to see

"Oh, I've heard that before, and

just what those words were worth, !"
she answered lightly. mo, please for

didn't mean it, anyway. There is no

found we were both playing a game.
Good-night!''
She moved away abruptly and went
into her tent.
And all that night he lay, hardly
doing, his automatic beside his hand,
waiting and wondering.

Fine Mahogany Trees

A recently discovered species of ma
hogany of gigantic size exists on the
western coast of Panama at the San
Lorenzo river, and the American mu-
scum bird-hunting expedition Of Lud
low Griscom and three assistants
found it to be one of the commonest
trees of the primeval forest of that
little-known region, according to the
Baltimore Sun.
One superb specimen proved to be
Z feet in diameter, 6 feet from the
ground and to measure 152 feet from
the base to the first limb. The per.
fectly symmetrical trunk, which is il
Illustrated in natural history, had all
the grandeur of a cathedral column.
Though less shapely, other trees were
even larger and one had diameter of
10 feet at 6 feet from the ground. The
forest abounded in wild life, at leas4
200 species of birds occurring in the
vicinity.

/ last, and then we'll have an easy jour
ney down through the pass"
She started off again, Lee following
some twenty PAGES behind her. But of
a sudden Lees horse baked laid back
his ears and snorted, planted his fore
feet firmly and refused to move.
It was almost impossible to dis
mount and lead him, for at that point,
the narrowest part of the trail, there
was hardly standing room for man and
beast together. Lee held in the ami
NAL with a tight rein, and patted his
quivering TANKS.
He could not understand what had
alarmed it, but now some instinct, per-
haps communicated from the beasts
brain to his, seemed to tell of danger
| threatening.
He glanced at the girl, and saw that
she was almost across the danger
zone. He dared not call to her, for
fear of startling her. And, indeed,
there was no reason to call, although
that baseless instinct was now becom-
! ing so strong that it almost amounted
to conviction.
He could not see the least cause for
apprehension anywhere. His fears ap-
peared absurd and yet that electric
message of warning went flashing back
and forth between his mind and that
Of his frightened mount.
Then suddenly there came the roar
of an explosion, muffied underground !;
the next the rocks over his head
seemed to upheave. An enormous
crack appeared in the face of the wall
of solid rock, which trembled and ap-
peared to move toward him, as If
pushed by gigantic hand; and before
the reverberations had died away Lee
heard faint, creritating sound, like
the rustling Of paper-the sliding Of
the interior strata, one upon another.
A little avalanche of stones. dis
lodged from the surface, came rush
ing down the face of the cliff midway

CHAPTER w
The Trap Is Sprung

In the morning she greeted him with
forced gaiety. She nodded and smiled
when she came out of her tent.
'Well, we shall ride on together to-
day, / suppose" she said. II have told
you that I do not desire your COM
pany, and that your enterprise is prob
ably a dangerous one. You have taken
the responsibility upon yourself. With
the understanding, we go as COM
panions instead of enemies. Is that
not sol"
And this time 1t was the girl who
extended her hand. Lee took it and
held it for q moment in his own.
That's the understanding" he an
swered. II intend to see you to your
destination, wherever that is, and
after that you need not be afraid of
my troubling you any more"
"And as for yesterday" said the
girl, ''you. will forget that was little
hysterical and upset? You see, it is
quite an ordeal, going on so long a
journey, and / was tired and said
foolish things that had no meaning in
them at ALL"
She watched Lees face closely as
she said this. But Lee did not reply.
They mounted and continued the
Journey 1t was about ten o'clock
when they heard two or three full
reverberations in the distance, The
girl, who was riding a few yards ahead
Of Lee, reined in and stood her horse
upon a turfy hillock, waiting for him
to catch up with her.
"What was that?" she asked, look
ing at him with startled eyes.
Dynamite" Lee responded.
Dynamite? Why-who would"
"Some prospector blasting rock on
his claim, no doubt" answered Lee,
and again there sounded a defamation.
She seemed to muse a moment or
two. "It rather startled me-" she
said. 81 have been afraid since those
two men left us-afraid some harm
may come to you from them. You will
be on your guard, won't your"
Eyes, / promise you that" Lee an
swered ana she fixed her eyes on his
face with her peculiar scrutiny for a
few moments, and then started her
horse.
The afternoon began to wear away.
They were slowly descending toward
the northern pass of the range, beyond
which lay the immense territories
that they had seen. They began to
traverse precarious defiles, overhung
| by huge boulders, prismatic from the
corrosion of the season. Underneath
them, at the bottom of a long descent,
in places nearly perpendicular, the tor
rent raced among the rocks.
It was so still upon those heights
that the rush of the torrent far under
meath them sounded thunderous; and
the air was so calm, the sky so blue,
that 1t might have been an Italian
summer, rather than Canadian au-
tumn. An eagle, floating motionless,
| high overhead, seemed to have been
pinned against the background of the
blue void.
The girl reined in and waited for
Lee to ride up to her.
'sBe very careful with that horse OF
YOURS" he said. There's a difficult Bit
little distance ahead, but it's the

Another roar, and huge rock top
pied and fell, this time behind, and
smashed into a score of fragments
which went rolling into the chasm be-
low, waking a hundred reverberations
among the hills.
And with that Lee understood the
devilish scheme that was in the work
ing. The dynamiting which he had
heard that afternoon was the prelimi-
nary work of the two men in prepar-
irg their trap; now they had set fuses
among the rocks at the narrowest point
of the trail, with the purpose of blow
ing him to destruction.
And it was murder plan that
would leave no evidence behind it,
surer and safer than rifle shot.
Another explosion; and between the
sound of the dull roar and the up
heaval, Lee, seeing the girl apparently
trying to urge her plunging animal
back toward him, stood up in his STIR
rups and waved his hand frantically
toward her.

Swat the Fly

Start the battle on the fly now.
when he is crawling out from
winter quarters and warming
himself in the early sunshine,
warns Dr.. Paul A. Turner, Di-
rector of the State Department
Of Health. Adult flies which
have been hidden in crevices and
cracks during the winter are be-
ing discovered during spring
housekeeping. and instead of be-
ing shooed out the door or VIM
dow, should be killed, he says.
Flies are carriers Of many dis
eases and germs, principally ty-
phoid fever, cholera and dysen-
terry. They breed in places of
filth and attempt to feed upon
the food which is meant for hu-
man consumption.
The fly which is just becoming
frisky in the spring warmth may
breed as many as five trillion
flies before the warm season is
closed. 1t takes about ten days
for the fly to develop from the
egg to the adult stage and seven
to ten generations of flies may
develop from the casual fly seen
around the house just now.
Hence every fly swatted today
means the death of millions of
potential flies later in the season.

Telephone Has Had Big
Growth in Five Decades

4 On December 81, 1876, when
Grant was President, there were
only 2,593 telephones in the
United States. Ten years later,
in President Cleveland's first
administration, there were 167,
1873 telehones in this country. in
another decade with Cleveland
again in the White House, the
number of telephones had incre-
sed to 404, 301; Then came ten
years of rapid growth. In 1906,
during Roosevelt's second term,
there were A, 932, 765 telephones
in the United States. President
Wilson, a decade later, presided
over a nation served by l,241.
432 telephones. On December 81,
1924, with Coolidge in the presi
dental chair, we find a total OF
l6, 208, 861 telephones in this
country-a nation wide system of
communication built up entirely
in fifty years since Grant was
President.

Crop Specialist in County

Mr.. Leonard Hegnaeur spent
one day with the County Agent
last week. Demonstrations in
alfalfa fertilizing, sweet clover
trials were visited and observa-
tions were also made on range
grasses. Mr.. Hegnaeur is vefy
much interested in the range
grass found south of Quincy.
known locally by the farmers as
Silver Oats, the technical name
Of which is Rhea Zysporus or
Indian Mountain Rice. The
grass has spread over consider
able country south of Quincy
which was formally titled and Mr..
Hegnaenr is in hopes that it
will prove to be valuable grass
on other ranges. Seed will be
gathered later to try out in other
sections.
Mr.. Hegnaenr had an opportu-
nifty to look over the immense
tracts which will come under the
Priest Rapids project, over 100,-
900 acres being in Grant County,
and was much impressed by the
possibilities of the irrigable land
there.

Quincy was unable to get a man

attempt of one runner to stretch
a three bagger into home run.

run. In the eighth inning. with
the score sixteen to nothing,
there was a general shake-up in
the local lineup, catcher Leaven-

pitcher Rinker behind the bat.
they managed to get two runs
over the plate in the last two in
nings. Coulee's final score was
eighteen.
There will be no game at home
next Sunday, but the local team
will play a return game at Mes
pelem. 1t is expected that there
will be a good crowd go with the
boys for the outing such a trip
affords, the length of the coulee,
then crossing, and drive of ten
miles on the other side.
