TT Is believed that this name Is de-
rived from 'Euer," which In an
Client days designated q person who
was stationed on the seashore to
watch and notify fishermen Of the
shoals Of fish. Later forms Of the
name were Huer and Hewer.
This coat of arms was borne by
Wyatt Hewell, who was born In Vir-
ginia in 1756. The family moved to
Georgia, where descendants now live.
The blazonry Of the arms is as fol-
lows: "GuleS, O chevron between
three mullets argent. Crest-A beaver
passant ppr. Motto-Virrus In arduo."
The .neraldic significance Of this
coat Of arms is as follows: Gules,
the color red, indicates courage; the
chevron Is q badge Of defense, or
protection, the same insignia which
military men use today. Argent, the
metal" silver, denotes sincerity, and
the mullet Is . symbol Of cadency,
always indicating the third son Of
the house, thereby diffeIentiating him
and his descendants from other
branches CT the family.

ing good crops led growers to abandon
this plant In favor Of others that paid
much better.
The principal growing countries Of
today are Czechoslovak.a, Germany,
France, England and the United
States. The hop Is a wild plant in
Europe, from England and Sweden
as far south as the mountains Of the
Mediterranean basin; from Asia as
far as Damascus and the south Of the
Caspian Sea to Eastern Siberia. In
India the hop Is unknown, as is also
the case in Northern China.
The custom Of brewing with hops
did not become general until the mid
die ages. Other plants were used for
the same purpose, and in some dis
tricts today, where the hop grows wild,
these plants are still 'lsed. The Ger
mans, Kelts and other peoples Of the
north, even though they knew the
hops properties, did not trouble them
selves to cultivate it. When they did
think Of brewing with 1t they gath
cred the Wild ones. The first mention
found Of the hop Is in 1853, when
Pepin, the father Of Charlemagne,
presented him with hop garden.
The hop is a perennial, herbaceous
plant, a member Of the famous nettle
family and Is the sole representative
of its genus. There are many varie-
ties today, and II you are . close OBJ
server, you may find the male flowers
and the female ones are borne on
separate plants.
If you are thinking Of growing q
hop vine of your own, and they are
very pretty additions to your wild
flower garden, you propagate from
root cuttings rather than from seed.
The plant has long, twisting stems
that are stalked and cling to any
thing they can reach.
The plant is rather tcmperamental
and dislikes very much foggy weather
or damp climates. In fact it becomes
so discouraged it falls easy prey to
attacks from mold or lice. In Call
fornia, Oregon and Washington large,
thrifty crops are grown. Small ones
may be seen in New York, Wisconsin,
Idaho, Massachusetts,, Pennsylvania,
Michigan, Vermont. Kentucky and
Ohio.
, Picking, curing and selling are
highly specialized jobs, and the hop
goes through many hands before 1t
finally reaches the place where it Is
gut to work.

exclaimed aloud. It was as If Daphne
had turned into another person. At

cal, the next her whole face softening,

filled with hungry longing and with
love.
1t was scarcely necessary for Alison
to look down and see who sat in that
end seat.
"She loves Gompez, Just as I love
Guy!" And with that thought her
natural, generous sympathy came up
permost. She could pity Daphne and
she wondered In a bewildered way, If
she loved Gompez so much, why did
she not marry him. After all, she was
a widow and free!

thing?"

"Is Senior Gompez married?"

pointedly amused eyes.

laugh was shrill and unpleasant.
"Of course, not. I didn't even"
Alison stopped. confused.
Then why do you want to know
II he is married?" There was q faint
breathlessness in that question.
It was difncult, hideously difficult;
Alison pulled her courage round her
like cloak, forced herself to speak
bluntly.
'I only wondered why you didn't
marry him. that's all"
What on earth do you mean?"
Words which dropped out slowly.
Nothing. only-well, the day be-
fore yesterday I saw you kiss him, In

lessly. "And tonight could see that
you were in love with him and-oh!"
Her voice failed. She shrank back
against the silk-lined wall of the box
in sheer panic.
For the thin, bony face opposite
had contorted into snarling anger,
pallid so that the Redeemed lips stood
out like clowns paint. But 1t was
