self into the belief that they were fond of her.
AS a matter of fact they did like her. They
thought she nice They regarded her
their friend. But they were troupers and she
wasn't. They put the act across despite her
heroic efforts to kill it. And she was billed as
the act and they were merely and company"
Their personal feelings were one thing, their
professional attitude was something entirely
different But Madame Elinor Wayne-not
being trouper-coud never understand. She
listened to their conversation and knew that
she hsd failed as vaudevillan, a singer
and a friend. She had given freely of her
self and was receiving nothing in return but
caustic criticism. She unable to associate
the personal and the professional, and SO she
allowed the bitterness to corrode her soul.
A FTER the show that night Elinor tapped
on the door of Kitty Dales dressing room.
I'D like to see you and Harry in my room
at the hotel she said
Fine answered Kitty. "We1l trot along
with you"
Never mind" frostily. "I1l meet you there"
On the way to the hotel Kitty laughed.
Something has peeved the Lady Hippo, Harry.
She seemed sore.
Maybe Jim Murchison went and married
somebody else" he commented.
They tapped on the door of her room and
were hidden to enter They had never seen
was seated in a straight chair and she coldly
motioned them to seats. A premonition of
trouble struck Harry Hardness and the smile
vanished from his lips.
Madame Elinor Wayne came startlingly to
the point
I'm speaking now she said, mot as your
vaudeville partner-but merely as the Lady
Hippo!"
There was an instant of Mortified silence.
The color drained from Kittys cheeks and
she started to her feet, but Elinor waved her
back.
Never mind protesting" she said crisply.
II can appreciate the aptness of your nick
name. And l think it is quite unjust that
Two such brilliant youngsters yourselves
Mould be tied to female hippopotamus."
She gave no sign of the hurt she was ex-
periencing, and Harry and Kitty were too
northumberland too embarraSSed-to do any
thing more than gasp.
I'm not a singer said Elinor, land I don't
belong on the stage I only broke in because
had the money to stage what you call flash
act. And because was lucky enough to get
two brilliant young persons like yourselves to
put across. I should have married Mr..
MurchiSon 10 years ago and made a comfortable
home for him.
II quite understand that I have been

misery to others But before giving you the
two weeks notice due under our contract
want to say one or two personal things.
IF I have a weakness it is a soft heart.
I want to see others happy. 1 want to be
friends with people. And from the first week
we were together liked you both and wanted
to help. I wanted to be your friend. guess,

PLANTS MAY

SAN BENITO, Sept. l2.-Adapta-
bility OF poisonous tropical and semi
tropical plants for insecticide pur-
poses and of a new vegetable, ebay
0te. TO the Valley Is to be Investigate
ed by the San Benito Chamber Of
Commerce.
j. +. Bell. secretary, has written
to the u. S. Department of Agricul-
ture asking for information on this
subject.
May Grow Here.
The department recently publish
ed an article that certain poison
Gus plants might be grown in the
warmer parts Of this country and
Mr.. Bell believes that they might be
grown profitably in the Valley.
Large quantities OF materials for
insecticides now are imported into
this country but chemists OF the de-
partment OF agriculture are study
ir.g the possibilities OF utilizing pois-
onous domestic plants, or OF in
Producing foreign poisonous plants,
as sources OF insecticides.
PyrethTum and tobacco. two OF the
most effective insecticides, are ex-
pensive and this country Is depend
ent almost wholly on Japan and
Europe for pyrethrum. The chemists
have found that three tropical
plants. Derris. cube and haiaTi, are
promising sources of a new and
highly effective poison. ~rotenone.
Experiments indicate that rotten
n is a oouble-acting poison more
effective than pure nicotine as a
contact irsecticide. rivaling pyre-
thrum In toxicity 20 many insects

ing arsenic as a stomach insecticide
and non-poisonous 20 men and ami

Provides Nov Crop.
The 5000, 900 pounds OF arsenates
this country uses annually retail for
about $1,000, 900. II farmers car culti-
vate these tropical plants in the
warm regions Of the u. S. including
the Valley 1t may reduce the cost
OF fighting the insect pests and also
provide a profitable crop.
Since the Valley uses great quanti-
ties OF insecticides, Mr.. Bell be-
lieves that they may at some time
be manufactured right In the VAL
ley from home grown materials.
He has also written for seed and
growing information on the ebay
ote. a new vegetable which Is said
to have considerable merit.

TINE next competitive golf season
may find, in addition to the host
of invitation events held each
year about Washington and
Baltimore, the leading golfers Of Mary
land, Virginia, Philadelphia and New
York pitted against each other in
series of team matches similar to those
for the Lesley Cup, which Is played for
each year between Boston and Phila-
delphia.
Plans for such a competition have
been announced today by Robert Nc
Lean. president of the Maryland State
Golf Association. He said he would
Immediately seek the cooperation of
officials Of the Philadelphia District
Golf Association and the Metropolitan
Golf Association. officials OF the VIZ
ginia State Association already nave
given their assent. When the schedule
is arranged several golfers from clubs
about the Capital located in Maryland
are expected to be on the hand-picked
team of the Maryland association.
Mclean said the team from Mary
land necessarily will have to be a
nicked proposition. I'VE will have to
be hard boiled about it," he said, for
we cannot afford to let sentiment and
geographic pride ruin our chance to
win" Fred Mackay, secretary OF the
Virginia State Golf Association, said the
team to represent his organization prob
ably would be picked from among the
leaders in the State championship each
year.
Mclean plans to start the ball rolling
Immediately If he cannot obtain the
promises of the Philadelphia and New
York districts to send teams, he pro-
poses to have a three-team league or
ganized, with teams from Maryland, the
District of Columbia and Virginia to
play.
At the same time Mclean said that
plans for the sending of a considerable
delegation from Baltimore to the ma
tional amateur championship, which
starts August near Chicago. are near
ing completion. I'VE are planning to
reserve a special car for Chicago and
hope to have quite number of Balti-
moreans go to the tourney to observe
the event they will have in charge In
1882" he said. I'VE also hope we may
have a number of Washington golfers
with U.S."

COchet Pro Step
Seen as Certain
BY LAWRENCE PERRY.

NEW YORK, July 3o.-Word Al
~ tering through from Paris
tends to confirm this writer's
recent prediction that Henri Cochet,
the worlds greatest lawn tennis
player, will turn professional on Oc-
tober ! and that the following move
will be a campaign throughout the
nations devoted to the game which,
it Is hoped and expected. will make
the Frenchman and William Ttlden
rich.
jeff Dixon, 1t is learned, has been
working on Cochet for some time
and the Partisan gossip Is that
through his fundamentally certain
good Americans have purchased the
interest in Cochet's sporting goods
store in Lyons which had been held
by group of Frenchmen interested
in French lawn tennis.
Jack Curley, who has assisted TIL
den in promoting the program OF
the Tilden Tennis Tours, Inc, Is
now on his way to Paris. So def
mite announcement one way or the
other concerning Cochet's future
may soon be expected.
Cochet began his tennis career as
a ball boy, thereby approximating
youthful experiences of the number
of American pro golfers OF fame.
