I saw a ghost t0day--in broad day
light. and on the open road, where hum
dreds OF motors passed every hour. For
though they win tell you everywhere
that the chestnuts are ell dead, saw
a chestnut tree In flower. On the warm
Summer wind its long, white taSsels
fioated from the twigs Of tree that
had once been A giant--full three feet
thick its trunk was still. but hollow,
rotten, at the core. Yet there hung the
indicated banners OF the chestnut
And l was carried back by the sight
10 years, when, at this season OF the
year, the woods we're white with them.
and a Virginia hillside was q tossing
sea OF chestnut blossoms when seen
from across a valley.
Many people think that somewhere,
somehow, botantsts or the Government,
or somebody should be held 10 blame
for the chestnut blight that, originating
| In China, spread To this country about
thirty years ago, got slow. but dan
gerous start, and proceeded on It's VIC
torious way until all chestnuts north
Of North Carolina and east OF the APP
palachians are dead or In dying state
But 1t should be remembered that
when the disease got IN. there was then
| no such strict quarantine as we have
now. Plant diseases I'm general were
! less understood and the condition OF
| sanitation IN nurseries was poor,
| Nor should anybody suppose for
minute that scientists did not try TO

great sums OF money In an effort to

| grows under the bark no one has been
able 10 get at IT., II Is carried by wind
| rain water, birds, and inseets~~over
which man has still very little control
When other States saw that nothing
had been capable Of stopping the blight,
they gave up the fight.
But there has always been just one
ray OF hope-~that the chestnut would
come back" that the sucker shoots

disease resistant, And II Is possible that

Soap jelly for washing fiannels

her hot, disorderly TRADE.
Her hat lay on a bench. She
would have to cross in front of
him to get 1t.
And \he was standing there,
baffled, uncertain, tremendously
shaken-staring at a little black
curl that went UP rakishly from
her ear.
He picked up her hat, came
over and laid 1t on the table
where she stood with her back
turned and her burning eyes
glued on the stacks Of samples
many colored squares of brocade.
Thank YOU" she said frigidly.
"I meant to keep you from marry
ing Mary Pennings. I've succeeded
only in putting your pride. You
think I've said these things in
viciousness and a mean jealousy"
you've not flattered me with
any jealousy in the last ten
months, Jerry. You've given me

cule. / could almost believe you

enough for me?''
She regarded his hand as he
toyed with the pin on her hat--a
beautiful, workmanlike hand. Her
anger melted in a surging ma.
ternal tenderness-a kind of wild.
protective longing.
mo, she isn't good enough for
you. 1t would be tragic enough
to fling yourself away on her il
you couldn't escape; if you were
driven to it by a magnificent, un-
conquerable emotion.
"But why should you marry her
when you can avoid it? Why
should a man in this day and age
enter so dubious a relation as
marriage unless he can't help
himself; unless all the odds are in
his favor? Or unless he is rea-
sonably certain that he will add
to the peace and richness of his
life
He would think that, of
course"
one turned anu LOT a. InOulSIt
regarded him steadfastly, eyes d
soft, violet fire against the pale
olive of her cheeks.
How can YOU think that?
Even granting her the intelli
gence.. the charm, the tolerance
you fancy hers, how can Mary
Pennings add to your well-being?
Any girl you marry has got to be
second to your work; or. rather,
she's got to be so unselfish, so
warmly understanding. that she'll
share your joy in the work. It's
a terrible thing for a man with
a burning ambition to find his
wife a rival OF his career.
"How long do you think Mary's
tolerance would survive your
neglect? Disappoint her because
OF your work and how charmingly
will she bear it? Try the expert
ment il you've any doubt.
''I saw her in action. What do
these plans that you're pouring
your life into. mean to her? She
was furious that you wouldn't
chuck them and come down over
that week end.
