ward her bedroom.
"Tll call you In time for dinner,
Sandra. You'd do well to remember
why you came west. II was for
your own good. Not Belinda's.
Despite her shaking, the red
haired girl fell asleep in a very
short time. She dreamed. Dreadful
dreams. Gordon Adams giving his
small daughter pair after pair OF
boots. Belinda, at her birthday Ia
Bile, In Lewis and crumpled cow
boy shirt. Her own face, not Spen-
ser's sticky with coconut-marsh-
mallow icing.
Sandra awoke with a start, feel
ing that sickness on her cheek.
Spenser was sitting on the side Of
her bed. The coconut-marshmallow
icing was Tex, on her pillow, kiss
ing her lavishly. He was a ludicrous
sight. None of the characteristics
Of an Irish setter were yet his; nor
would they be for several months.
He was simply a drab, brownish
puppy. Around his neck was an
enormous birthday card which he
now began to fight, threatening It
with babyish growls.
"Defnit'ly a watchdog, Sandra."
"Oh yes" laughed the girl, feel
Ing peaceful once more.
Spenser defended the puppy fur
ther: He was the first to bark. The
woman told us So"
Sandra decided It was fortunate
he was going to give away the dog
at the birthday dinner: otherwise
his attachment would grow until
he could not bear to be so gener-
Gus.
When Spenser and Sandra en-
tered the ranch house living room
Belinda's swapping brown eyes
lighted instantly on the dog, nes-
ting In the British boys arms. She
deliberately turned her back; II
presented formidable barrier to
any friendliness.
Spenser was not at all daunted.
Happy birthday. Belinda" he
cried out as he stepped around her
and pumped the baby setter into
her arms.
The rigidity In her back dis
solved. She turned around and, for
one horrible second, It appeared she
was going to cry.
To avert that Sandra stepped to
the big reading table that now held,
instead Of magazines, all Belinds's
gifts.

linda"
still clutching the dog. Belinda
began pointing out gifts, naming
the donors. Brody, Hank, Penny,
all the cowpunchers. Estela's fancy
candy. Things from schoolmates.
You knocked this of the table"
Spenser retrieved a stiff white en-
velope. 1t was sealed. why don't
you open this birthday greeting,
Belinda ?"

interestedly. "It's Just a check

Edwards. Ny shoes!" There they
were, those horrid criss-cross ones.
Sandra's heart tipped over, then
behaved. Quickly she went to her
closet and came back with a pair
Of tan suede walking shoes. Pumps
with low heels. She dropped to her
knee and hurriedly unbuckled the
hideous strapped shoes.
Belinda stepped into the tan
suede pumps. But she was not
pleased. They're almost my size.
A tiny bit loose-but not enough"
She was, Sandra realize d,
ashamed because her feet were the
size OF a grown woman's. Sandra

tight for me, Belinda They kill me.
Really they do"
Belinda seemed ready to argue
the matter. but at that moment
Spenser came into the living room.
I've been nice long enough" he
yelled. Blast 1t all you can't keep
chap out Of his own lodgings for
ever" Belinda now stepped into
full view and, for the first time
since she had know him, Sandra
saw the eyes of her British charge
actually bulge. He said to Belinda
II say, you" He whirled and ad-
dressed Sandra instead. II say, San
dra, she looks different. doesn't
she ?"
"Uhmm," she conceded casually.
1t seemed Belinda also was going
to adhere to the no-speaking status.
Ignoring Spenser, she said: Thank
you for everything, Miss Edwards.
I'm going now" And then, Just as
she got alongside Spenser, she
said: Isn't 1t wonderful my birth

icing? That's my favorite kind"

cused. IT'S supposed to be a Sc

linda tipped through the door.
As speedily Spenser got to q
looking glass. There, on one side
Of his mouth, was the tell-tale
sickness. He reached for his hand
kerchief.
She's a horrid little girl! he
said. But his heart was not really
in his condemnation. And he
bounced to the window to catch a
glimpse of her going around the
patio walk.
Until the raRchowner's daughter
had gone Sandra was unaware OF
the tension she had endured during
the past 30 minutes. Now that il
was over she found herself shaking
as she SO often had those last days
IN Chicago.
Spenser was not watching Belin-
da now. He was watching his guar

now. He was his other self, that

adult way. He was herding her to-

CHAPTER TWENTY-oNE

BELLNDA'S reference to her
mother made Sandra instinctively
drop a sympathetic arm about the
childs shoulders. As quickly she
took It away. The expression or
Belinda's face was not one Of
yearning; It was one OF absolute
gloating. However, 1t faded, while
Sandra gazed with renewed inter.
est at her own transformation.
This Is a pretty dress, Miss Ed
wards" Those cool, drawled words
coming from Belinda Adams were
the same as a fiowery speech from
someone else. Her biting brown
eyes met those of the red-haired
woman, In the mirror.
And you're a very pretty girl
Just as / said you were"
This time Belinda did not an
swer with rude declarations. She
just blushed and watched Sandra
fit expertly shaped cotton pads into
the shoulders Of the plaid dress.
Their thickness relieved the child's
too-thin appearance, adding both
poise and jauntiness.

words faltered. DO you think ]

II think you look almost a."
f1bbed Sandra. She wished she
dared ask the child to define the
strange and unattractive express
sion that had been on her face
when she mentioned her mother.
Instead, she kept silent and be-
gan experimenting with the girls
long braids, looping them across
the back, then across the top Of
that small dark head. Finally she
undld the braids completely and let
all that hair hang loosely about
Belinda's shoulders. It had been so
tightly braided that 1t held the
waviness Of the old type water
fall' and was particularly becom-
ing to the little girls quaint beauty.
She said to Sandra: This is the
FIRST time anyone has combed my
hair except Brody-that is, he used
to. OF course now / do II myself
That's why / wear II In braids. It
is easy-especially when a person
doesn't have curly hair"
Don't worry about curly hair,
Belinda. Dampen Tours and braid
1t tightly every night, then brush
II in the morning and you'll have
your friends with curls envious."
Belinda gave an uncertain shake
OF the head, as II that were an In
conceivable dream. All the same,
she kept gazing at herself with
rapt admiration. She seemed dazed.
Not Sandra. She had improved so
many with her knowledge that
nothing could surprise her-noth-
ing except failure to make someone
attractive. That would really sur
prise her.
She stuck dark combs abo--. Be-
iinda's ears, then motioned her TO

travelled slowly from the top Of her
head to her feet.

A nine year test was carried on at
the Delta Experiment Station during
the years 1929 to 1887, testing the dates
of planting cotton and the following
information is given on this test:
Date Of Planting:
April i%-1170.1.; April 15-15S9.2; May
l-l51G7; May 1%5-1310.e; June l.
$3.50; June 15-s2s.S.
Nine year average pound seed cotton
per acre.
In 1884. April LIST and 18th paintings
were killed and in 1885 April LIST plant
ing was killed. It would seem that cot
ton planted on April 1 would be killed
more often than twice in nine years.
A corn test carried on at the Stone
Vile Experiment Station shows a SINH
lar relation to yield at different dates
Of planting. The following information
on an eleven year test is as follows:
Date of Planting-Yield in Bushels
per acre:
March 1-31.8; March 1915; April
$50; April 15-28.1; May 1-25.b;
May 15-24.6; June 1-21.3; June Is
1853; July liza.
1t is important to notice the differ
ence in yield from 81 bushels per acre
from the April LIST planting to 1853

Good luck!" said the c. o. "Just kess

The engineer-soldier climbed into the
caboose, and the first American supply
train In France chugged off with
cautious slowness in uncharted dark
ness-toward Paris.

Sergeant John J. Barnett, so4 Asbury

Pennsylvania, Chief Crew Dispatcher
for q United States Army Railway
Operating Battalion which operates un-
der the supervision Of Brigadier Gener-
al Leroy P. Collins, Schenectady. New
York. Commanding General Of the
Loire Section.
"The men had no tagging equipment
and no lights. They didn't know what
stations were on the way, where the
bridges were, if any, or where to get
additional coal and water. And, they
couldn't see the switches in the dark
ness"
But the men on this and succeeding
trains, climbed into their cabs without
question and carried through the sup
plies which were so vital to the success
of the Allied advance through France.
How the first train got through with
out accident is still a mystery. The
crew had to operate without benefit of
lights because there were German
snipers along the way. Occasionally
when they struck matches to read their
gagues, bullets whistled dangerously
close.
Since that first trip, countless trains
have hauled thousands of tons Of sup
plies forward. Many times the trains
have operated almost within sight of
the front lines.

both frontline warfare and French
hospitality.
They ran a train Of aviation gasoline

they ran had not yet been demined, and
snipers were active all along their

were the first Americans who had stop

enthusiastic Frenchman. The whole viii

precious gasoline on the siding and
then spread a feast that Sgt. Williams
fondly remembers.
"There was chicken" he says. mice

tomatoes and vegetables. And boy, they
must have had a dozen bottles Of

The operating battalion's first two
weeks of operation was a gruelling
period. The men worked day and night
without let-up. Sgt. Kenneth C. Crit
fiths, Route /, Payette, Idaho, conduc-
tor. stayed on one run for "a hours Of
continuous duty, sleeping occasionally
in the caboose or the engine.

ton St, Knoxville, Tenn, was eight days
on the road, two days and nights with

Chicago Street, East Peoria, Illinois,
was seven days on the road.
When the group first arrived, 40 men
were detailed to bring American loco
from a port of entry, and they
worked around the clock for almost a
week, toiling and sleeping in the same
which they had worn since
heir landing in France.

proud Of the fact that, during their
first fortnight Of operation, they took
out IS trains in one day. a mark which
many American railroads would be
hard pressed to equal.
They like to tell the story about an
American General who said it would be
to a French town during the first
week. They took SO trains up In six
days!

Although the entire personnel receiv-
ed thorough technical training on
American railroads before shipping
the men had to learn to OPP

unfamiliar road beds and to get the

ing 10 foot skips produced 9.53 pounds
Of seed cotton. So. the Experiment Sta
ton concludes that the difference in
yield Of skippy cotton and a perfect
stand is not significant.
Many times when a farmer is trying
to decide whether to plant his cotton
over, he should remember that the sec
ond planting may not come to any bet
ter stand than the first one and he
may also remember that the boil wesvil
hazard is worse on the late cotton.

In Texas farmers have been growing

that can be combined. One Of the mos,
outstanding varieties developed for this
purpose is called Martins Combine
Milo. This grain is planted the same
way as We would plant our corn but is
harvested with q combine. Seed Of this
variety can be secured. Anyone wishing
to try small acreage Of this small grain

some Of the seed, are advised to get in

A great deal of nervous energy is
wasted every year by cotton farmers
trying to decide whether to pillow UP
and plant over their cotton crop. When
they pillow it up, they usually make a
mistake. The Delta Experiment Station
at Stoneville carried on a rather ex-
test on skippy cotton covering
three years. They compared skips from
two feet to ten feet with cotton left 2
