TT didn't wish to rent for more than the summer months. Also, there is someone else who has asked me to give him a little time to decide. Her voice trailed of weakly.
 There was a distinctly cold silence. And then a firm footfall sounded on the gravel path. A long shadow fell across the polished floor. Good afternoon" the voice she had last encountered in her garden greeted them smoothly. I've come back to tell you I've decided to &C., cept your terms, Miss Brett. A hun dred and fifty a month is quite agreeable"
 Daphne's dark eyes met two bright twinkling blue ones with a question in them.
 She started, recovered, and hesi- tated in that one brief second.

foot apart in the row. Sow one ounce of seed to 100 feet. Vary the creamed celery and asparagus with these large white leaf ribs.
 Okra Variety ~White VeIyet")- A too-little used vegetable in northern states. Excellent for soups and stews when picked in the young tender stage. When old, the pods become tough. Sow seeds in rows, thin out to two feet apart each way. Likes summer heat. See that the soil is good, but not too good, else more leafage than pods will be developed. Do not SOW the seeds until the soil is warm.
 Salsify Variety Mammoth Sand wich Island') - Known as Oyster Plant, has a root like a carrot or pnarsnip, has a fine flavor of oysters and is used in soups and stews. Usu- ally it is grown for fall and winter use. Sow seeds early in shallow drills, in rows one foot apart. Thin out to 1 or 5-inch spaces. Be. sure the soil is mellow, rich and deep, and leave the roots in the ground in winter for spring use.
 ColIards Variety "GeOrgia'D - A variety of Kale. Kale has crinkled, curled leaves, while this variety has smooth, lighter green leaves. It does not head, but has cabbage-like leaves growing on 8 blunted single stem. The leaves are used as greens and are popular now in sections where cabbage fails to head, yet it can be grown everywhere. Sow seeds in the open in spring and harvest leaves all fall and even lat CT.

 He let himself down from the wall before she said anything fur ther and, with his eyes still on the house, he said, Thanks, and what might your name be, my pretty maid?"

 Il crisply, and picked up her broom. You might earn that lunch by tackling the weeds in the west garden. This place has got to look like 8 well-kept garden by o'clock. Prunella will give you your lunch in the kitchen"
 Fair enough" he said, and tucked his pipe into a pocket of the coat he discarded at once.
 Daphne forgot him. There were many things to be done. There were the bowls to fill with flowers and Daphne herself to transform from a scullery maid into cool, charm ing hostess in a smart frock to give the appearance of a gentle woman reluctantly renting her family estate for the summer.
 But we want to lease 1t for a year!" Mrs. Snyder said.
 A year at a hundred 8 month! Daphne, all too conscious of what that sum meant, couldn't rise to ac- ceptance while her eyes and ears were assaulted by the ravages being wrought by the small Snyder brood. Determinedly she kept her eyes from the mahogany table where she could hear the rasp of a scratching spoon. She resented hearing the kicking, detructive twins. She didn't want these people living in her house, but how else was she to meet her need?
 Feebly, she heard herself saying,

 Instead of trying to grow the common vegetables in a small plot of ground, why notstry some of the more unusual varieties, those that are expensive to buy but easy to grow.
 Here is a list of such vegetables that can be grown by the average gardener:

Without re- moving the unflattering towel that bound her hair, or the grirny effects of her mornings work, oblivious ty the shapelessness of her slender fig ure enveloped in one of Prunella $ pink gingfam models, she went into the garden.
 Hello" he said before she could ask him what he wanted. will you tell me who owns this placer"
 Its owned by the Misses Brett, she said shortly.
 He didn't look at her; plainly his eyes were all for Brett Hall. "I'd like to see the interior" he said. Also I'd like to have a bit of lunch. Do you think the Misses Brett are hospitably inclined?"
 There's nothing but scrambled eggs" Daphne said, her eyes once

CHAPTER H

I
 Daphne Brett saw twelve hundred dplalrs float out her window and wa: relieved. Not but what she would feel very differently when the Sny- ders departed and she was once more faced with the unacceptable truth that she needed it badly. For the time, she permitted her. self the luxury of that relief and was glad the shadows of late after noon filled the drawing room when she introduced MT. Van Dusen"- the name had been the first to spring to her mind-to the Snyders. He might not have appeared in a brighter light so perfectly turned ; out in the riding clothes he wore with careless grace.
 "A hundred and fifty a month"; Mrs Snyder fluffed the lace of hel jabot. Well, I'm sure don't blame you, Miss Brett"
 Daphne's unexpected visitor, look ing up from his tea-cup, glanced at Daphne and addressed himself with surprise-tinged tones. Look here, how stupid of me! You're the peo- pie who wanted the place before I saw it?"
 "Oh, mo-" Daphne said quickly. That was !. CT someone else who wanted to buy. MT. and Mrs Snyder wanted to rent for a year but I told them I had promised to give you time to make up your mind."
 There was no mistaking the ap- peal in her face, or the meaning ot her words. The dark eyes and the bright blue eyes travelled at the same moment to the youngest Snyder and her fruitless effort to prevent a dab of sandwich filling from slipping down her pinafore with awful cer-.

 "You did 8 very fine job of help ing me-" she said and wondered how she could invite him to go.
 "Oh, the Van Dusens-the Vir- ginia Van DuSens, not the South Or- ange Van Dusens, mind you-go about constantly, rescuing ladies in distress with the greatest of ease"
 "Yes, I noticed that" she said. T mean the ease. What else do you do when you just go about'?"
 Contemplate the cosmos" he said pleasantly.
 That's approximately what l thought" she said pleasantly.
 'Tell me what else you thought" " he encouraged.
 Were the scrambled eggs to the taste of the Van Dusens?" she asked pointedly.
 Excellent" he said graciously. ''Plentious and fresh but, my dear girl, no Worcestershire SeaSoning!"
 "An oversight" Daphne said with a fine edge of sarcasm. '"The next time you come to lunch, do let us know beforehand"
 T will, he promised. "What about tomorrow?"
 ssT,OMORROW," Daphne said
 A coldly, T am not entertaining. I'm working girl. I shall be back in New York at my job." The in- formation slipped out. She didn't want him to know that she would not be there. If he were prowler Perhaps he was 8 gentleman thief. Perhaps he was. She stopped thinking and said sternly:
 Much as the country and the open road appeal to me, it's lux ury I can't afford" T can't either," he said and sighed.
 Daphne's suspicious were immedi- ately confirmed in her mind. T see," she said, conveying noth- ing.
 T, too, have a job in the city but I shall forget its confinement when return to this peaceful lovelineSs each night"
 Daphne sat up very straight. Oh, why had she told him that she was not to be here?
 That's our arrangement, isn't it?" he inquired easily.
 "At a hundred and fifty a month";" Her words had a smart sting.
 Certainly. said agreed to your terms. I'd like to take it over at once for occupancy until October first"
 It rather took Daphne,s breath away. It had possibilities of also taking away her problem. Against her better judgment, she threw dis erection to the winds. Would you," she asked leaning forward so he saw the hope in her dark eyes, would you really like to rent Brett Hall?"
 q thought it was all settled" he answered calmly.
 "Then then 1t ts."
 You'll want references, of course"
 "Of course" she said, wishing Sne had thought of it first.
 Unfortunately they'll prove that my name isn't Van pusen. It isn't even Derek. It's smith," he said, looking at her responsibility. How could you have missed it2" Daphne permitted herself smile. "It was too obvious, which you are not. she said. (To Be Continued)

Charles C. Quinn, now serving
his fourth term as county at
torney of Big Horn county, was
last Friday named by Governor
Roy E. Ayers as one of the four
new members of the state text

other appointees are Pauline Pat
ton of Roy and r. E. Sonneman
of HarloWton. The new members
