SIX "WO PKATtlARINt FIFTH INSTALMENT Fresh from a French convent, Jc celyn Harlowe returns to New Yor to her socially-elect mother, a rs ligious, ambitious woman. The gii is hurried into an engagement wit the wealthy Felix Kent. Her fe ther, N?ck Sandal, surreptuousl enters the girl's home one nigh tells her he used to cell h = Lynda Sandal. The girt is torn b her desire to see life in the rai and to become part of her motl er'l society. Her father <hir|ie* he surroundings. Lynda visits her father in his dii gy quarters. She finds four me playing cards when she arrive: One of them, Jock Ayleward, he father teils her, is like a son t him, but warns the girl he is a tril ler. Lynda pays a second visit to he father and Jock takes her home on the way stopping with her a an underworld cabaret. Jock gets into a fight with gangster who insists on dancinj with Lynda. He then takes Lynd; heme- Later she mentions Felix* name to Jock and Ayleward's fac? displays his demoniac hatred of th< millionaire. Jock tells Lynda that Feli: caused him to be sent to jail un justly by fixing up hi* report on < mine. Lynda says she doesn't be .lieve his story. She pays anothe visit to her father and goes to cabaret with iiim and dances witl Jock, who suddenly stops and tell her he is going to take her righ home. He had seen Felix dancin with another woman. XOW GO OK WITH THE STOP.* A few moments later she stood 01; side on the pavement with Jock. He hailed at. taxicab.

As Jock turned to rejoin Nic Lynda approached him and nfferi him her hand. It was an unconscioi gesture of trust and forgivenes :v- -fivrr 1 tiliSi strongly. Lynda fell a rapture pi body i blood. It was sweeter than ho cy. more, heady than red wine. SI felt his lips moving, she heard hi say "I love ... I love . . And she was conscious of \vh he said, of its meaning., of tre hav< that it caused. She lifted her ey as ' ough for help. They met Nick's eye.?. lie had f< lowed trnun from the cafe instant! had come in and had seen them ai terr ih raving himself in oUe painf contortion across the room set h tormented hands upon Jock's colli and, using ali his strength, jerked hi up and back. The vouns- nu?n rose and was forced into a chair I Nick, who shouted at him: "You dare to take my claugbfc here, to make love to her. My daugl ter! Kiss her with your mouth of convict, touch her with your ham of a card-sharper." Jock fairly cowered. His fac lacked dazed.- He quivered at the tw words as though Nick had used a las upon him. Then, carefuily, uoit -o hu; Nicks hands, he freed liimself an wen: out into the night. Nick went or and laid down c the couch, exhausted. "You did wrong to come to me, groaned Nick. "No matter where live ray life defiles your finders'." Sneaking, he was caught by a pa oxysm of physical agony which kej Lynda there in pitiful and sacred a tendance untii nearly morning. At last she was driven to sun moning Jock Ayleward. Her fath< had gasped out a number and almo at on.ce after she had taken dow the receiver Jock answered. "Nick's suffering terribly. T haA to leave him." His reasonable; cool veieeanswev* instantly. "I've been expecting it. will be there." In fifteen minutes Lynda admi ted him to Nick's bedroom. He passe her and went to Nick. The sick man contorted fact smiled crookedly. Joe passed his arm under the writhin body and seemed at once to give grefter ease. Neither of them sai good bye to Lynda nor even sceme to notice that she went a Way. When she climbed in at her beri room window she was scared by th brightenine* stey Jccelyn came as far as this door ?h(er '<1, sc,f then that leathe h?,r - le , hf "Other's little sane tua . had not been closed, that it The *w' \??n had,.been Pulled nsidi nJwi ? tal1 cand,(=s burned steadil and a figure crouched before its al fe?.Svit e f-Rure of a strangei Witn a chill upon her flesh Jocely % th^ recognized Marcella.

Marcella bent over her for one of r the dry kisses and wer.t out. J Jocelyn lay broad awake. The clock! r ir. the living room x mmetf five, and 1 ' then six. Jocelyns suspicion, her curiosity, a had become a fever, pain thn she) z could not endure. Ghost-softly she; 4 crept out again to the living room, j s Almost instinctively her hand rose I to the velvet drapery behind the al-1 e i tar. She lifted it. & ! A small deep-sot door with a lock, j the key still in. it, lay behind thai i altarpiece. Marcelia had been starj tied, had moved away quickly, had I left her key. ; Jocelyn tightened her lips and spoke to her uneasy conscience: "She j will not let me know her secrets. i | She will not love me. i must learn ;the truth of my own life by my own j efforts."

I s j Because lespedeza has a three- ^ ; point value long enough sought bv Tl j dairymen of this State, the legume R | is oesurtea to become of great eeo- b nomic importance to the dairy industry of North Carolina. ' ? Dairymen of North Carolina have a been searching for many years for w a legume which would reseed itself. ? hh.uld housed for producing^ooth hay and pasturage and would grow on ati acid soil. They have found such 0 a crop in lespedeza, says John A e Arey, dairy extension specialist at 0 State College. Arey points out thamost soils in the State are acid and it is a waste of money to sow a lime- e loving legume on an acid soil. Yet 1 dairymen must have legumes because J' cows cannot produce a profitable " flow on grass hays or grass pastures " Therefore, if the dairyman cannot sweeten hi3 soil by an application of limestone, he must grow tho3e legumes which tolerate an acid soil. Lespedeza does this and it takes a high rank among the legumes. Mr. w Arey says it will furnish an abun- P dance of grazing of a high protein content during July, August and w September when grass pastures are a drying up and furnishing little nour- jr ishing feed. The four lespedeza varieties commonly grown in North . Carolina are the common, Korean, f" Kobe and Tennessee 7G. Common and b Kobe are two most used for grazing <> and either of these may be sown on a the small grain about the middle of ( ? ?*?- ? ? -[ /an! he's a self idj vmaoe man /" r Al/l?. i . > Wv!

Oman, i harge of rodent control work for th urvey and attached to the oxlensio ivisioii of the North Carolina Stat "oliegc. Mr. Oman says this bait, is mad y the Barnstable, Mass., laborator f the Survey and comes in neat pi ier-\vrapped packages each contaii ng three cans, cne filled with fisl he other with meat, and the thir rith cereal. All are mixed wit uough red squill poison to accon lish the desired results. Mr. Orna ays the bait will keep indefinitely. It was first used by the Biologic? lurvev in the New Encluml mul Mil le Atlantic States last fall wnci ; gave splendid results. Since th ist November, the bait has bee vailable to residents of North Car< na. Mr- Oman urges farmers an thers afflicted with rats on the remises to get in touch with hii bout the new bait so that the pes! lay he controlled with a minimui f effort and cost. "The only good rat is a dead rat, ays Mr. Oman, ''nor is it necessai or the cost of killing him to be urden. Farmers should not look uj n rats as a necessary evil and spen >ng hours producing food and fee -'hicb the pests consume. The rai hould be fought in season and ou ut more especially in winter whe tie rodents gather in sheltered plaei nd make heavy inroads on the store roduce. "This canned bait reduces the co: f Killing the rats since each pacl ge costs less than the bushel of cor 'hieh a few rats will quickly consum r waste." Mr. Omar; hupes- to -begin a. movi lent in this state whereby the killin f rats will be looked upon as a ne< ssary duty similar to the sprayin f crops to reduce insect damage."

Another scientific reason why hot sunshine is so necessary to maturing corn and cotton crops is reported by Dr. YV. A. Cannon of Sl?iifuiu University in Science, the official organ of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He found that when sunlight falls on the plants, the roots take deep breaths of pureoxygen. . There is no immediate specific use f for t.ho (lispnvcjy-- which !r pert the growing mass of information scientists are collecting in efforts to produce better crops. Dr. Cannon found the oxygen breathing in cotton, corn, willow and sunflowers. H?? said it is not known yet whether all plants are like this. The breathing trick was verifi in the laboratory by shielding the roots from light, while the leaves and stalks were alternately bathed in summer sunshine, and kept in the shade. hive hundred acres cf tomatoo will be grown this year under contract by Bertie County farmers.
