Ann caught her breath and
looked at him, shocked and in
credulous.,
'How?" she asked after a NOM
ient, and Tracy nodded in an
eswer to the look in her eyes.
Suicide" he said grimly.
ooh, no." in a small shocked
whisper.
".An overdose of a sleeping
medicine, taken by accident will
be the story in the paper as brief
as we can make it." Tracy told her
quietly. 'She had been in ill
health for some time-you know
the line"
Ann was very still for a mo-
ment and then she said unevenly,
S'Poor Julie!"
Tracy studied her curiously.
'You never liked her part
icularly, and once she tried to
kill you," he said grimly. 'Yet
now you can be sorry for herr"
Ann lifted her head proudly,
unashamed of the tears in her
eyes. "Julie-wasn't really to
blame,' she said swiftly. "She
was-neurotic, unhappy. She
was-insane about Lyn-and he
well, he's pretty much of heel
as we both know now"

stated Tracy flatly.
'Then it must upset you a lot to
think of him being married to
Lissa," Ann offered with delicate
insolence.
'Lissa can take care of herself
in a situation like that" Tracy
told her flatly. Anyway, Fra

a close second to alfalfa in actual
feed value.
These things will raise your pro-
duction per cow and your production
per acre, at a lower cost of operation.
1t has been proved without question
that the more a COW produces the
cheaper she is to own, since the return
in milk dollars over feed dollars is
larger with high producers than with
low producers.
I'll talk at greater length about
neutrality-suspicious. in my next column
but at this time just want to suggest
that you go over your haymaking
equipment carefully and be sure it is
intop condition. Repairs now may save
a lot of trouble at haymaking time.

n baseball player would find it diff
fcult to make triple play in the field
and hit home run all at the same
time. But that's an easy job for the
Eairy farmer who wants to win in the
milk production game.
The unsatisfed demand for milk
end still more milk makes it possible
for such a dairyman to get several
jobs done all at once. He can help
supply the urgent national need for
more milk by producing more milk
per COW and more milk per acre through
proved production practices. And in
so doing make greater income by
reducing feed and labor costs.
The triple play" in this case simply
means following through on CD COM
plete pasture and feed program, (2) all
phases of sanitation and (3) all angles
of herd care. The ''home run" will be
registered-and cheered-when at the
years end and the game is won we
can all look back on job well done.

Good Grass for this SMnme,

Sudan looks to be the best bet for emer-
gency midsummer forage. Planted
row, it will give you excellent pasture
q 4 July and August. Second growth
ay also makes very high grade pas
rture, to bring up your milk volume in
the hot summer months.
If using your second crop hay land
for pasture will run you short, soy
beans can fill that gap. Soybeans rate
very high in the hay column, running

ed sharply.
II don't know-it's-well, I sup
pose It's chiefly because nothing
really swell ever happened to me
that didn't-have to be paid for
in painful coin!' he admitted
wryly, his eyes bitter and bleak
with memories that were not hap
py. Judging by what happened
to me in the past, I guess I sort
of took it for granted that-the
happiness and the delight Of hav-
ing you could only be paid for
by the misery and agony-of los
ing you-after a little while. And
Il felt it would be easier to
give you up without ever really
having you-than to-lose you
afterwards"
.e She stared at him now, every
trace of anger and fight melting
away from her, her wide eyes
filled with tears.
''Tracy-you poor lamb!' she
said huskily. what rotten time
you must have had-to be so ter
ribly afraid of happiness!"
He nodded grimly. 81 guess
that sums it up-l've always been
afraid-a little suspicious = of
happiness; usually the price tags
pretty high and-I wasn't sure ]
could afford it-not this time"
''My darling" she said huskily
''Will you please marry me, so
can-make you happy and-teach
you not to be afraid any more?"
He looked at her with humility
so new that it was deeply touch
ing and said very low, "Would
you, dearest?"
''I'd adore to-" she told him
and smiled through the tears.
He leaned forward and kissed
her, completely oblivious to any
one who might be looking on. In
fact, in that moment, he and Ann
forgot there was anyone else on
earth save the two of them.
For a moment that kiss endur-
ed, and then, in quick alarm, he
protested, "But the WAC, Ann

as she would have spoken to a
small and adored child frightened
of the dark. II can aid the war

and - you are fond of babies,
Tracy?" she remembered to ask in
quick alarm.
Such a look of radiance came
into his eyes that she felt hum
bled, and at the same time deep
ly proud that she could bring
such a look upon him.
Fond of 'em? I'm mad about
'em," said Tracy with simple fer
Vor.
Ann beamed at him contented-
ly.
Then I'll do my bit by the
war effort by raising a family, -
she told him happily, and her
voice shook little. "Oh, darl-
ing, darling-what fools we've
been-to waste so much time
when we might have been SO
happy together!"
We'll not waste another min

caveman stuff is terribly over
done, don't you think?'
Grimly Tracy studied her, and
then he asked shortly, well,
then, what lines would you sug-
gest?"
AIMS laugh was brittle. Zone
you could never possibly put
over, so there's no use your try
ing it! Simple sincerity and hon
esty-shall I draw you a dia-
gram?"
Once more Tracy studied her
for a moment without speech.
And then he said grimly, well,
now that we're being frank, per-
haps I might be permitted to
point out that your own little
line is bit frayed-the gay little
sophisticate isn't you, Ann! You
do it very badly"
Her face burned, but before she
could answer him, Nick arrived
with their dinner. And paused
to chat moment, asking about
''the grandmama," and when he
had gone, Tracy suggested polite
ly, 'How. is the grandmama,' by
the way?"
Having the time of her life, -
Ann answered, attacking her din
ner just as though she was really
as hungry as she should have
been. "She's found an apartment
she adores, bought Andrew and
Martha a little farm and installed
them on it, and it's hard to tell
who's the most excited about it,
Sarah or Andrew and Martha.
jamie likes the new apartment,
too. It's small, only has one bed
room, but Sarah says she's en-
tertained house guests all her life
and now she's going to visit in
stead of being visited"
Tracy looked startled. "Only
one bedroom? Then what be-
comes of you?"
Ann looked up at him with a
polite pretense of surprise.
"Oh, I'm enlisting in the WAC,'' %
she told him cheerfully. "Just as
soon as I finish serving out my
thirty days notice to the Courier" "
I'm the WAC?" protested Tracy,
unbelieving.
"The Woman's Army Corps
hadn't you heard?" asked Ann
gently.
Tracy was half out of his seat,
his eyes blazing.
you'll do nothing of the sort!''
he protested, dazedly.
''The only problem" Ann went
on as though he hadn't spoken,
lis Junior. He told me conf
dentially he wouldn't like an
apartment, and Sarah has only
three rooms, and Junior is grow
ing so fast that he would wag
his tail once and wreck the place.
So I suppose the only thing for
him is a boarding kennel-I'm
afraid he's not going to be very
happy there-maybe you could
suggest something's"
She said it brightly, as though
they had been the most casual ac-
quaintances discussing a problem
of only momentary Importance.
Tracy ran his fingers through
his dark red hair and said sharp
ly, "What's all this nonsense about
your joining the WAC? I won't
have it,"
AIMS smile was a delicate in
suit.

sweetly. "You have nothing

Listen, you!" said Tracy so
loudly that several people turned
from the bar to look at him in
lively curiosity, and he lowered
his voice, ''See here, Ann, all this
