He caught his breath and held it.
The touch came again, gentle, on
his cheek, at the side of his mouth.
He threw off his pretense Of weak
ness. put his hand up quickly, opened
his eyes, his heart humping ;
and found himself clutching with
both hands the puppy. nosing him
in an anxiety of curiosity. Deborah
was gone.
He got up with the puppy under
his arm and strolled grimly around
the corner, to meet Gary. wild-eyed,
approaching with a brimming dip
per of water.
You aren't hurt, sir?" Gary
gasped breathlessly. Aren't you
hurt?"

Sorry to frighten you"

with heartfelt emotion. 81 got a

terday, he and Grandmother. White
and cold, she had met them in the
doorway and led Grandmother into
the small sitting room to rest for
a moment before removing her new
coat and hat. Deborah was no long
er angry. While they were away
she had obviously come to some
agreement with herself; Bryn de-
cided. as she smiled family and
took the box Of chocolates, as she
put it down without glance upon
the small table beside her, that he
preferred her angry. He had swung
on his heel, leaving her there with
Grandmother. and gone out to Gary
Gary stood in the drive. his parcel
laid on the grass. watching the
puppy rolling over and over, wild
with excitement, and yelping with
JOY at her release from the car.
Perhaps you'll tell Miss Deborah
that the puppy is for her. Bryn
said curtly, and went back up to
his room.
But the puppy wasn't having any
difficulty in penetrating these frosty
layers and discovering the real
Deborah. From his window yester-
day afternoon Bryn had witnessed
their first meeting. Deborah had
come out to Gary, and at her ap-
pearance the puppy had rushed
upon her with ferocious threaten
ing grOwl which ended precipitate-
ly as the little dog fell over her own
feet and tumbled in heap before
Deborah's. Instantly. unquestion-
ing as a child, she had bent to lift
it in her arms. "Oh. Gary" she
cried, isn't it darling? Isn't it
a darling puppy?"
She hugged it close, and it snug
gled for a moment comfortably un-
der her chin. Then 1t put out a
pink tongue and kissed Deborah en-
tirely without reserve.
You're a bad dog" she scolded,
but her voice was soft and laughing
and tender. Bryn drew deep
breath. When she spoke to him
her voice wasn't like that. Where
did it come from. Gary?"
She's for you. Miss Deborah. Mr..

"Oh," Deborah said. "Of course.

"Oh, hush !" Deborah cried storm
lily, stamping her foot. She held
the puppy close and ran off with
her, back of the house. down to
some hidden nook of her own which
always seemed to be her chosen
place of refuge.
That had been yesterday.

Sunburned Calves
Bring Less Money

Livestock buyers on the terminal
markets say that farmers who turn
veal calves outdoors in the hot sun
should either provide the animals
with parasols or prepare to re-
ceive less money for the animals
when they are sold because con-
sumers do not want sunburned
veal.
Complaints from several markets
have been made that calves which
are exposed to the sun actually
are sunburned so that the meat ap-
pears red when the calves are
slaughtered. This unusual appear
ance may not injure the food val
ue but it does prevent consumers
from buying the veal.
Hot weather also affects the size
of meat cuts which consumers Will
buy, and they prefer small chops.
steaks and roaStS. This tendency
to ask for the smaller cuts makes
it difficult to sell cuts taken from
heavy veal calves. Calves weigh
ing from $50 to ITS pounds are
most likely to bring top prices
in hot weather.
The difference between top
calves and medium grades may be
as much as two or three cents
pound. A 200-pound calf at Sc a
hundred only brings $12 but $50
pound calf at SO hundred brings
$3.50. The fact that lighter calves
sell better in midsummer should
not cause farmers to send thin
calves to market; the calves should
be in good condition.
After midseason, calves that
weigh ITS to 200 pounds will again
bring good prices, but during the
hottest weather farmers should
keep the calves sheltered from the
sun and should market them before
they are too heavy to bring top
prices.

Using Beet Pulp

Beet pulp or beet meal may be
used to replace hay, as a dairy COW
ration. The best use, however, says
an authority, is made of this feed
when it is fed soaked. If short OF
hay replace one pound of hay with
one pound of dried beet pulp. You
may do this up to one-half the hay
allowance. Add about four times
the dry weight of the beet pulp OF
water and feed it as you would 81.

meal will help replace the short.

He took her hand lightly in its

tremendous favor?"
Certainly. my boy"

you can believe it, almost nobody
has ever used the name Stuart.

"Thank you, Grandmother. You

He opened the door wider, and
waited. She gave little fluttering
breath and emerged slowly from
her long retreat.
Both together they saw the hat
in the window. 1t was a small win

end of the street.
On a pedestal in the center was
one hat, a nodded toque of gray vel

II suppose the electric light sit

myself. Several years OF engineer

Lead on, Gary"
There was, as Bryn had suspect
ed, nothing seriously wrong with
the engine Of the electric plant. He

old oil, cleaned the connections, and
made a note of the few parts it
would be necessary to replace Be
fore the motor was started, he de-
cided, it would be wise to inspect
the connections at the house.
"Where's there a ladder?" he
asked.
"Out on the edge Of the orchard"
Gary told him. But you better be
careful Of it. 1t isn't as good as it
might be-
Bryn went out behind the house
and followed with his eye the line
of the electric wires as they crossed
the trees and the brook. He went
out to the orchard, lifted the ladder
lying half-hidden in the grass. car
dried it back and propped it up
against the wall of the house, be-
meath the place where the wires en-
tered. Trying each rung cautious

AS he reached the top he turned
half-around as he took the pliers
from his pocket, and was just in
time to see Deborah emerge from
her retreat down near the bridge.
There was sudden ominouS
cracking which Bryn scarcely
heard; he was listening for DebO-
rah's footstep on the path beside
him, wondering whether to look
down and smile or to continue alb
sorbedly with his work. He was
spared the necessity of making a
choice; for, moment after the un-
needed warning, the rung upon
which he was standing collapsed
into Splinters, and Bryn fell neatly
through. He heard Deborah scream !;
the puppy barked furiously; and
then he dropped into oblivion.

with something cold dashing across

Alas, this was no moment to talk

and other serious situations are re-
Elected In the EMBELLISHMENTS of the
children" in the opinion Of Helen
Sargent, supervisor Of the psyche
logical clinic, Northwestern unIver-
sity. Admitting that the roots and
branches of such problems are so far
reaching that each requires extensive
study and individual solution, Miss
Sargent declares:
There are many less apparent con-
nections between the ways In which
adult members of the household
choose for meeting their lives and
certain trends which appear In
youngsters"
The psychologist calls our atten-
ton TO the little terror In the home,

Miss Sargent's theory is that II

The article clears up a number of
points which must puzzle plenty Of
parents. Its theme song is, before
you try to guide your child, you must
be able to govern yourself. You
must meet your own problems and
find a solution or you simply can't
