LISA drawled, her voice infuri-
atingly cool and amused, barely
flickered with contempt, Really,
Mrs. Barton. Your-er-private de-
tective is doing all right! I hope
you're paying him properly! The
mans uncanny!"
jules voice went up another
note and she was trembling vio-
lently, and as she swayed lit
tie, Ann put out a swift hand to
steady her and caught the scent
of liquor on jules breath.
"You can't have him!" she was
sobbing, clawing at LISA, reach
ing for her, sobbing wildly. "You
can't have him-do you hear?
He's mine"
Ann did the only thing she
could think of in that moment
when she realized that the we'll
bred women about them were
staring, whispering-she slapped
Julie hard, full across the face,
and jules head rocked, and then
she was still, and tiny drop of
blood spurted from her lower lip
into which she had sunk her
small, sharp, white teeth.
THANKS, Ann" she said husk-
lily, and became shamedly con-
scious of the group about her,
and lowered her head until the
brim of the cartwheel hid her
face. "Sorry-I-I'm not feeling
so we'll"
She tried to make her way
through the throng that opened
to let her pass, but she stumbled
and swayed and Ann went to her,
and put an arm about her, steady
ing her to the elevator. Outside
in the blazing hot street, Ann
summoned taxi, put Julie into
it and told the driver the adj
dress.
At home that night, Ann found
. Sarah waiting for her, with the
news that they were having
guests for dinner and dinner
would be put back an hour.
Ann Smothered ner WEAKNESS
and her Impotence at the thought
of guests and dutifully took time
out to make herself look her pref

when she came down the wide
stairs, she looked truly lovely. At

For a moment she stood quite
still on the bottom stair, and look
ed at Tracy with wide astounded
eyes.
s'What-what in the world are
you doing here?" she demanded
swiftly.
Tracy grinned. 'I'm just as
surprised as you are!" he admit
ted frankly. "Your grandmoth-
er called me an hour ago, and
asked me to come to dinner. She
was very. insistent-not that she
needed to be, of course. was
delighted"
AIMS head was swimming a
little.
'But-she didn't say anything
about your coming-she said we
were having guests-and made
me dress up she said hurried
ly, because if he kept on looking
at her like that, his eyes clinging
hungrily at her mouth, she would
fling herself into his arms and
beg him to kiss her, and that
would be a terrible thing to do
terrib1e-but beautiful.
"And very nice job you made
of it, too," said Tracy and his
eyes took her in from the tur-
quoise flower in her hair to the
tips of her silly little strapped
sandal slippers that peeped like
two silver mice from beneath the
long skirt. "You're-you're Sc
beautiful, darling-it's all can
do to keep my hands off you
Ann, dearest"
"And now that we are all settled
and cozy," said Sarah in voice
so artlessly pleased that Ann
stiffened a little and looked at
her with suspicion, 81 have to
ask you a few questions, Mr.,
Driscoll, and I do hope you won't
mind answering them frankly
and truthfully, of. course"
Tracy grinned a little. He lik-
ed the old girl. She was quite a
character, he told himself. Strong,
forceful, dominant-she had hui
NOR, too, and a great kindliness
that spoke of a warm and gen.
erous heart. She would be a
swell friend-but she could be
a bitter and implacable enemy,
he knew, as well.

all, Mrs. Clayton" he told her
frankly, "but if do answer, il
will be frankly and truthfully!'
"Good~ said Sarah happily
First of all, then-are you in
love with Ann, Mr.. Driscoll?"
Ann was for a moment rigid
with shock and embarrassment
the color burning hot in her face,
and then she cried out, angry and
incredously at Sarah's outrage
Gus frankness, "Sarah!"
Sarah flung her a quieting
glance and then looked straight
at Tracy.
"Well, MIR. Driscoll?" she ask
ed briskly.
Tracy's hands were locked
tightly and his face was white
and set. He flung Ann a glance
that all but took her into his
arms and kissed her.
'She knows that I am, Mrs.
Clayton" he said quietly, the
quiet of hard-won control, of
dearly-bought composure. "She
knows that adore her."
Ann felt warm and breathless
with happiness, and a sudden
shyness that made her eyes fall
before his, and that set her heart
pounding.
'That's splendid!' said Sarah
briskly, land since she has adj
mitted to me that she is madly in
love with you, it seems to me

Weekly Items OF Interest To
AShe Farmers
BY j. T. McLAURIN
By ]. T. Nell

The New River Soil Conserva-
ton District completed its 1916
46 white pine planting season
during the past week. A total
of 10000 seedlings were planted
on eleven farms. This represents
a very small percentage of what
is needed. w. H. Mcmillan
planted 10000 seedlings in 1941.
He is so we'll pleased with the
growth they have made he plans
to plant more white pine next
spring.
Because the state nurseries
ran out of planting stock before
all orders were filled this year,
it is suggested that those farmers
who plant white pine seedlings
during the next planting season,
order their trees early this fall.
DIR. Ivan E. Miles, director of
the State soil testing division at
Raleigh, visited Ashe county on
April 4, to study and observe the
effects of soil testing and the ac-
tual results obtained in the field.
DR.. Miles was well pleased with
the results observed.
