The limousine rolled smoothly up
to the door.
When Stuart came back down
the driveway, Sharlene was in the
young mans arms. The sun broke
through the thinning fog just
then and limned their figures with
bright and gold. She pulled away
and as she introduced them, Stu
art saw that Kent Damerell was
an exceedingly good-looking young
man-slender, and just Sharlene's S
height. He had an infectious
smile and there was an exciting
air about him. The grasp of his
hand was energetic, the glance Of
his eyes keen and penetrating.
Stuart remembered having heard
that he was a great sportsman.

They went on and on. All the
careless, easy talk of airplaneS, of
spending thousands on them, of
driving them recklessly through
the ether-it was all beyond
Stuart whose flights were never
physical flights. AS a matter of
fact, he scared far beyond them
into the mystery of mems pain
and exultation, into the timeless.
ness Of suffering and the hope of
peace-but his feet stayed always
on the ground. He sat now, very
quiet, feeling his own pain begin
to manifest itself through the
numbneSs caused by Sharlene's
abrupt announcement. He did not
become aware Of their further
conversation until he heard Kent
saying emphatically:

Stuart with an answering smile

Sharlene was dragging the
oranges from Stuart'S pockets

Presently they came hand.in

where roses dreamed against the
wall and the gentle stiffness was
disturbed only by the faint splash
Of the fountain and the song Of

The table was exquisitely ap

the food as If it had been pre-

Pullet Range Shelter
Is Easily Constructed

Light, movable range shelters are
rapidly coming into general use among
progressive poultrymen who brood for
the first eight or ten weeks in large
permanent brooder houses or in their
laying houses, but wish to raise their
pullets on the ground, according to
Poultry Pointers No. II, issued through
the State College extension service.
The range shelter makes possible the
growing of pullets on clean ground,
free from contamination that exists
around permanent houses. It provides
an inexpensive method of relieving
over-crowded conditions in the brooder
house. Early Matched pullets can easily
be transferred to the range shelter,
making the brooder house available
for the second lot.
One of the most important features
of the washington Range Shelter" as
outlined by state college poultry spe-
cialists, is it's portability. Two men can
easily pick it up and move it from one
of the shelter prevents excessive &C
emulation Of droppings and makes for
better use of the natural green feed
| produced on the range. Portability is
achieved by the use of light weight
material such as cedar. The recon-
mended size for the shelter is seven
by eight feet and will comfortably
handle 100 White Leghorn pullets
through to maturity If pullets are
transferred to the laying house prior
to four and one-half months of age,
the capacity is 1875 birds.
The shelter is cool and well ven
tilated. The sides and ends are en-
closed by wire only, allowing free cir
culation of air. The roof comes down
low enough on the sides to protect
the birds on the roosts from winds
When used in early spring it is some
ties advisable to tack burlap or muslin
over the wire Sides The shelter pro-
vides convenient shade from the sur
and well-ventilated roosting place
at night. A wire floor prevents the
birds from coming in contact with the
droppings.
Complete details of construction ane
a bill of materials may be secured free
of charge from the local county agent
or by addressing the Extension Service
Pullman, Washington.
