As soon as Faith laid eyes on
Peggy Lytton she felt that she had
found the one girl in all the town
with whom she could be fast friends.
1t had been only few months since
Fred Lytton, middle-aged and quite
rich department store owner, had
brought his beautiful young wife
from career in musical comedy in
Chicago.
The two young wives were almost
of an age. Where Faith was dark.
haired, brown-eyed and ivory-skinned,
Peggy was all gold and blue and
pink and white. But hers was not
the bisque doll type Of blonde lowell
ness. She was taller evens than
Faith. and she carried herself like a
princess, a little disdainfully and in
dolently, but Faith caught at once
the flicker of usefulness in her viO-
let-blue eyes.
Peggy Lytton was lonely and be-
wildered by the social distinctions of
town which she would once have
referred to dismissingly as "the
provinces" For society, which Fred
Lytton as an eligible had made no
effort to conquer, showed no signs
of recognizing the advent Of Fred
Lytton's too-beautiful young wifes
The four Of them had played: bridge
less than half an hour before; Faith
discovered that Peggy Lytton did
not love her middle-agcd, red-faced
heavy jowled husband. Her slim
white hands twitched nervously with
distaste whenever his hairy, red paw
fell heavily, possessively upon It.
Once when, as dummy, Lytton was
leaving the table and bent to kiss
his wlfe's bare shoulder, Faith saw
Peggy clench the hand convulsively
that held the cards. A great pity for
the girl rose in Faiths throat.
For minute or two after she had
capitulated to Peggy'ss golden cx-
quisiteness, Faith had been jerked up
short by the most ancient Of all fears
that this lovely creature would at
tract Bob as irresistibly as she had
attracted her. But Bob. chestnut
blonde and blue-eyed himself, had
appeared to take only the most
casual interest in his hostess, He
had concentrated from the first on
Fred Lytton. and Faith, although
she was allowing herself to like
Peggy whole heartedly. had been
grateful that Bob apparently could
not "see" her.
At twelve o'clock Faith and Peggy
went to the latter's room to freshen

An Increased Yield

This is trend that is very welcome. The popua

The problem of soil productivity and fertility in rela

Some idea of the trend of yields can be est

1883 the average yield per of has increased

period the combined acreage Of corn, wheat oats
and potatoes has been expanded about So per cent

Col. Henry w. Anderson of Virginia is inclined
to- the opinion that the negro should be taken out
of southern politics. So he said in speech before
the Institute of Public Relations. now in session at
Charlottesville, Va.
Col. Anderson does not go so far as to advocate
the total Acknowledgement of the negro but he does
suggest that sometimes it would be better for the
south and for the black himself If he would veer
awdy from the Republican party and divide the vote
more evenly.
As leading Southern Republican, Col. Anderson
is in position to know what the south needs, and

The Insurance Growth

OF all the remarkable records Of business growth
in the United States during the past five years,
approaches that Of the fiftytwo legal life
insurance companies. The burden of financial
responsibility which now rests upon the shoulders
of these fftytwo business organizations presents a
figure of cold dollars which is beyond the grasp OF
any human being. We simply cannot adequately
comprehend the meaning of the whole situation.
The total amount of the outstanding insurance
issued by these fifty-two companies exceeds $780,
OOOOOO0 900 and the magnitude of this sum be
comprehended when it is realized that the public
debt CT the United States is about $40 900 OO0 600
or less than one-ffth of the outstanding life in
surance, which. in turn, is equal TO about Oncfifth
of our national total wealth. estimated as close
to 4OOOOO,0OOOOO.
It is notable fact that since 1880 life insurance
accumulations have increased twenty-eight times.
times and the total annual income of all the people
in the United States is estimated at approximately
$4,000 100000, or $fOOOO,OOOOCO more than the
total of insurance.
Life insurance is becoming deservedly popular
It is splendid thing for the small wage Garner
who plans to leave some provision for his family
in the event of accident death. That the wealthy
have been quick to be included in the life insured
ranks speaks well for the dependablity of the
panies and for the general idea of life insurance for
itself
It is the only way that the average man can
provide that his debts will be cared for and
thing provided for his family. It is q constant
protection and great elminator of worry.

CHAPTER Ii.
Talking It Over.

Mark took Irene to hotel in New
York. That was her wish. She
absolutely refused to discuss anything
more with him. She had made one
remark on the way down about his
being honest and frank with her. and
when he had refused to reply she had
merely shrugged.
In the meantime, he had been doing
some thinking. He was really trying
to be honest with himself and with
Irene, but her attack on him with
regard to Jessica had f1oored him. He
did not love Jessica. He was sure
of it. Even taking into consideration
his conduct the day of their fishing
jaunt, he wasn't in love with her.
That wasn't love. He refused to admit
anything Of the kind. He had yielded
to the temptation to kiss her, but that
was all. The fact that he had never
kissed Irene in any such mad, aban-
doned fashion did not occur to him.
After he had left her at her hotel,
his idea had been to put up the car
at q garage and go somewhere HIM
self for the night. But he was rest
less. He didn't want to go to bed.
Why not drive out to the suburbs and
put up at the hotel there? He might
rout Maude out of bed ana tell her
exactly what he thought of her
schemes where Jessioa was concerned.
Certainly he felt like it.
Mark drove into town some time
past midnight. With twist of his
arm that was almost vicious. he
turned the car into the street where
Jessica lived and when he saw that a
light still burned in Maude'S room, he
stopped the car before the house.
