By COSMO HAMILTON ?. by McOure Newspaper Syndicate WNU Service HE KISSED the photograph of the girl he was to have married. || waved a graceful farewell to his comfortable sitting-room, grasped his revolver firmly and put the barrel to his head. In the brief pause that followed his funeral song was rended by a trolley in the street A line that he had been sentenced io write three thousand times at school and had never thought about since, came bnck into his mind. "Life hath more awe than death." And having looked at It with a startling clearness of one who was on the verge of taking It at the age of twenty-six he said aloud, "My friend, a last look round." He put the gun among his pipes and stalked across to his desk. Even In that fantastic dressing-gown and rather grotesque pyjamas he managed to retain the wiry, muscular appearance that goes with playing golf. In spite of his open-work shoes, too. which were all the go at Newport, his cleancut face with an amusing nose bore the stamp of his efforts to reduce bis handicap. For the rest his color was chocolate, which proved that he had possessed of leisure and the money to pay Par it Or friends who put him up. He was a very popular man. The letters to Ids lawyers and his recent fiancee he then proceeded to seal. The.* looked more formal like that. Glancing at the clock with more than a touch of impatience, he strained his ears toward the door, heard approaching footsteps, returned to his favorite chair and put the gun to his brain. Yes. he had a brain. ' * " Ten minutes hefore he had opened the door of his apartment. He didn't desire to be disturbed by a ringing bell while In the act of departing on the only journey for which It Is Impossible to obtain a ticket to return. He held his position until Alan MeCroxnbie, his wealthy friend, entered the sitting-room with a sort of reluctant haste. Whereupon Gilbert put his revolver where it simply had to be seen. He was annoyed In being caught In what, after all. Is a very private act. He said, toning down his anger In what under the circumstances was a surprisingly friendly voice, "What's the great idea?" McCromhie had seen the revolver. He refused, however, to believe the evidence of his eyes. He had danced all night In a jazz haunt and considered that he had the right to see non ciiairui iiiiugs?noaung yeiiow spots, sudden smudges of cloud, curious little dark things which moved about rapidly looking for holes In the wall. All previous calls by Gilbert had resolved themselves into Immediate "touches" for cash. He was fully persuaded that he had now been brought to the presence of this graceful and charming sportsman for that purpose once again. But when he approached the table he was bound to believe that what he had seen was a gun in very truth. Horror thickened his voice. "Were you. ... Is it possible that you. . . . Of all men, you. . . *\ "I don't suppose you know," said Gilbert, "you who have so much money, how difficult it Is in these days of unjustified panic to screw oneself up to a moment of such high courage as this. As you have broken in upon me one m^ute too soon I'll ivuicm 4u11c unuh^jr null J WHS DDOUI to remove myself. I hoped that yoa would arrive to And not too'messy a sight. Hence this dressing-gown bought?or rather owccl for?especially fof the event." McCromble had a tender heart and a sympathetic soul. It has heen said that- he had already lent Gilbert various lfft^ps Of cash. One way or anotherttlimt totted up to hbotit five thousand |d<wm,. In return he had received. hgW-se. the usual L O.

It was true ttbafi Gilbert was heir to real money hot this was still heing enJoyed by bis last remaining aunt. This ;desr old lady was not only a vegetarian who took regular exercise but she was also a vlbratlonlst who permitted herself to tune Into only those thoughts which are philosophical and sweet In her seventy-seventh year It went almost without saying that she would reach at least ninety with the greatest ease. McCromble had made up bis mind not to be "touched" again. But good heavens. Imagine being followed iwivugu life with the ghastly weight an hit conscience of having sent thla man Into the Unknown Pathway for tha sake of ilve hundred bucks. Ha : i"-.- f rf ' . ; \* J . iTfe Cherokee Scout, IV fett that tins was the sura.- And eo he j said, with great emotion, "How math will you.take to jive?" i ^ r, % ' e e Much to his astonishment Gilbert { was_amaxed. Indeed he was greatly distressed. "Is it conceivable.'* he * said, "that you've run away with the < hideous belief that I arranged to be caught like tills for the purpose of frightening, bullying or blackmailing you into lending me a bit?" "The point is." said McCrombie, "just how much do you want?" He took out his little check-book nnd unhitched his self-filling pen. He was a man who attached a row of such things to the pocket of his waistcoat. They looked like organ pipes. "Generous as ever." said Gilbert. "Make It five hundred, old dear." McCrombie made It five hundred with a slightly shuky pen. Gilbert held out n very grateful hand. But he first of all took tho check. "Reprieved," he said with joy, "just at the moment, so to speak, when the ax was about to fall. 'Life, what art thou to such as I? Only an empty dream, only the leave to die.'" He was Immensely moved. "And now, my dear old Alan, one other kind action, quick. June Is on the stairs. A punctual person. June. Good blood. Tradition. How marvelously they tell 1 Hold her up just long enough to tell her In your tersest words how you caught me on the verge of this pathetic act, and prepare her to find me making a new beginning, a better and wiser man. In an excess of joy she will cancel my last night's letter in which I broke things off. I thought I'd get In first. She was a trifle hipped with me." McCrombie understood. Not only had he a very kind heart but he was engaged .to be married himself, ne was out of the room like a shot ... A shot! Thank heaven he'd prevented that. And the man who had been born a netu rtiui a uwignuicent rorearra ciart- 1 ed Into hts bedroom, ran a comb < through his hair, changed his bedroom 1 slippers and resumed his seat near the little table on which his revolver ' gleamed. Fie heard the resonant rum- 1 ble of McCromble's Boston voice and 1 the high, bright exclamations of the lovely June?quite one of the most { lovely Junes that had been known for ' years. * "Gilbert, you fool," she cried, and threw herself into his arms. "You were going to make a nasty mess slm- 1 ply because of my Icy mitt yesterday i afternoon? Gee, but this Is love!" 1 Gilbert held her tight "It Is love," he said, "even In these days of flippancy and jazz. But there are things ' a man can't stand. A girl can go too I far. It's amazing how the female forgets that the beautiful male is sensitive and Idealistic, so terribly easily wounded by modern flippancy. If you hadn't kept your appointment . . She didn't allow him to finish. She sealed up his lips as though he were going to be sent by mail. Not content with which she jabbed the marks of her lipstick all over his pale face. He might have been a piece of jewelry duly registered. "Put that gun away," she said, renovating her mouth. "Climb Into a suit, bring hundreds of cigarettes and I'll drive you out to Greenwich for eighteen holes before lunch. Oh, yes! And cash a little check." Gilbert managed to smile as he fol iv?*> cu uer 10 ine aoor. **THanks, 1 thanks, and again thanks," he said. He was a very well-read man. 'Til he with you right away, with cigarettes, I high spirits and a nice bulging wad." 1 He kissed her under the chin and waved to her repeatedly as she made 5 small work of the stairs. He lived in one of those old brown houses in which you have to walk up. It was a 1 stone's throw from Madison avenue ^ along which the trolley sang. The check was In his pocket and he ' would stop at the bank. It might be 1 well to cash it before McCrombie al- i tered his mind. You never know your luck. ' Pitching off his dressing-gown he t went to his dear old friend. He said, "Thanks so much, old dear. Let's dine together tonight. We must see a good deal more of each other?David and [ Jonathan, eh?" I McCrombie, vastly flattered, put up | a little struggle as he was pushed toward the door. "I absolutely refuse ( to leave you." he said, still shaken, , "until you've emptied the cartridges out of that rotten sun." "Oh, ril do that," said Ollbert. i "Naturally, of course. ... So long. | my best of friends. A hundred million thanks. I.oyalty and generosity i are still to be found In this world. , How excellent that Is. Make It eight > o'clock." i But there was no need to empty the chamber of his gun. He had been | out of cartridges.

INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPC?Following Christ's Ideals. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPC?A Christian According to Christ. I. The Characteristics of the Subects of tho Kingdom (vv. 1-12). Those who are members of Christ's :lngdom must possess character conlistent with the nature of the king. 1. The consciousness of utter splrittal poverty (v. 3). "Poor In spirit" loes not mean to be without money ;isa. 66:2). but to come to the end of telf in a state of absolute spiritual leggary, having no power to alter >ne's condition or to make oneself beter. 2. Profound grief because of spiritlal Insolvency (v: 4). The mourning lere is not because of external grief >ut because of the keen consciousness >f personal guilt before a holy God. 3. Humble submission to God's will [v. 5). This meekness is an outjrowth of mourning over spiritual lnlolvAncv 4. Aa anxious longing to conform :o the laws of the kingdom (v. G). The I >ne who has received the righteous- I less of Christ as a free gift follows I iftei the purity of character which ; ixpresses itself In deeds of righteous- j less. 5. Merciful (v. 7). Subjects of the ringdom now take on the character of he king. He was the pre-eminently merciful one. 0. Purity of heart (v. 8). Since Christ the king Is absolutely pure his subjects must have purity in order to ?njoy fellowship with him. 7. Peacemakers (v. 0). The one who has received the peace of God through Jesus Christ will not only be At pence with his fellows but will diffuse peace to others. 8. Suffering for Christ's sake (v. 10). The world hated Christ the king. Therefore those who reflect his spirit | In their lives shall suffer persecution j (II Tim. 3:12). 9. Suffer reproach (vv. 11, 12). To have all manner of evil spoken against one falsely for Christ's sake Is an occasion for glorying. II. The Responsibilities of the Subjects of the Kingdom (vv. 13-1G). The subjects of the kingdom are to live such lives as to purify and enlighten those around them. Their responsibilities are set forth under the Qgures of salt and light. 1. Ye are the salt of the earth (v. 13). The properties of salt are (a) penetrating; (b) purifying; (c) preserving. Since salt only preserves and purines in the measure that It penetrates, so Christians only, as they enter into the life of the world, can preserve It Prom decay. 2. Ye are the light of the world (vv. 14-16). The subjects of the kingdom should so live as to prevent the unwary from stumbling and falling. III. The Laws of the Kingdom (vv. 20-48). 1. As to deeds of righteousness (v. 20). The deeds of the subjects of the kingdom must spring out of natures which are like Christ's. 2. As to sanctity of life (vv. 21-26). rhe duty of the subject of the kingdom s to conserve and sustain his own life ind the lives of others. 3. As to organized life (vv. 27-32). rhe family is the unit of society. The .wo awful sins against the family are: a Adultery (vv. 27-30). b. Divorces (vv. 31, 32). 4. As to oaths (vv. 33-37). Speech s the absolute test of character. . Tl.e truth, anil that alone. Is to be uttered t>y a subject of the kingdom. 5. As to behavior towurd those who 3d not recognize the laws of the king- I join (vv. 38-48). a. Not revengeful (w. 39. 40). > Turning the other cheek after being ! imltten, means, after one insult prepare for another without revenge. b. Willingness to do more than la required (v. 41). Rather than quarrel with a man for causing yon to do that which you cannot help, show willingness to do more. c. Be charitable (v. 42). Our hearts should always be open, ready to give to all, worthy or unworthy. d. Love enemies (vv. 40-48). Lore to our enemies consists In: (1) Blessing them that curse us; (2) doing good to them that hate us; (3) praying for those who deepltefully use us. Such behavior affords the positive proof that we are God's children. sisocvJ u,noiiibl. A * luary 26, 1934 Winter Busy Time ; i for Fruit Grower " Removing of Surplus Trees, Pruning and Grafting " Most Important. U By W. H. Thlea. Extension Pomoloitl.it. i. Massachusetts State College.?WNU Service. There Is no long vacation season s for the apple grower. The winter sea- | c son may not find the fruit grower so 4* rushed as In the midst of spraying or | harvesting the crop, but still there are f' things which must be done. One of the most important jobs Is ! removing surplus trees. These trees include neglected apple trees in fields * or fence rows, trees which never re ^ celve any spraying or pruning, and as ! ^ a result are an excellent breeding place for Insects and diseases of all I s kinds. They constitute a menace to I " commercial orchards In the vicinity, j c In some orchards, filler trees were | ? planted and the trees have now grown j , so large that the main crop trees are j ! being crowded and shaded. These ! 7' filler trees should be removed as soon J n cs they are large enough to begin ! e crowding. Pruning is another dormant season j ^ Job for the fruit grower. As much money Is wasted by poor pruning as { Is gained by good pruning, but this j only serves to-emphasize the impor- ' ^ tance of pruning properly. ; a Another Job for the dormant season Is top-grafting trees of poor varieties i which are more popular on the market. I This Is a much quicker way of chang- j li ing varieties in the orchard than cut- \ 1' ting down the old trees and planting new ones. ! = Some of the most valuable winter j r^r i>l i -i 1 rr-^^lr ?V.~ -u_:_ ? I I -> x-i.ui u nwik to ui UIC caaj-fliuil IJIJC. | This work Includes starting an orchard account, to reckon costs of production, j as well as profit nnd loss; planning the year's program of pest control. : sales, and storage; reading up on recent experimental results; and attend ( ing meetings of fruit growers. Feed Crops Being Grown in Hurry by Tray Plan The picturesque labor of hay-making i may soon be seen only in rural landscapes in our picture galleries if tests being made nt the National Dairy institute, near Reading, prove successful, , ays London Tit-Bits. Two metal cabinets, each fitted with trays, have been installed at the institute's farm. These are the "trial | grounds." A solution of mineral salts , above each tray sprays a thicklyspread seedbed of maize or oats. Under the treatment growth which would normally take ten weeks takes ten days. The shoots, some 12 or 14 inches tall. : are then ready to feed dairy cows or > fatten bullocks, and this process is repeated the year round. It is claimed I that 36 crops can be raised In a year, and 40 of these cabinets In a barn will yield about 4,320 tons of fodder, enough to feed 1.200 head of cattle. The crops, it is said, are free from contamination, and as the fresh green shoots have a high vitamin content cattle benefit considerably. It Is proposed to set up a chain of depots in tho principal agricultural area3 of the country. Rendering Lard The leaf fat makes the best lard. Back fat and fat trimmings also make a good product. The Intestinal fat makes Inferior lard, and should never be mixed with the other, as it would give the better lard an offensive odor and flavor. It should be rendered ov|>u< uvvij cx&jvi uoru iur auu|). nemove any lean meat from fat to prevent scorching. Cut the fat in pieces one Inch square.

Press out the crnrkiinea ?n,* 1 strain lard through a muslin cloth into 1 clean cans or Jars. Stir slowly as It cools, as this tends to whiten It, and makes the lard finer and more uniform in texture.?Rural New Yorker. Planting the Hotbed For best results when planting seed In a hotbed the seed should be sown in rows about four to six Inches apart. In planting be sure that only four or five seeds are used to the inch, as closer planting will result in crowding. In growing plants In hotbeds especial care must be given to watering and temperature. Too much water la worse than too little, so In watering the plants apply Just enough to thoroughly wet the soli. Temperature, I however. Is of prime Importance and sfiould be regulated so that the hardy plants, anch as cabbage, lettuce, and onions have a day temperature of 60[ 65 and a night temperature of from SO to 55. Warm season crops require | temperatures of ten degrees higher. . P?ge Three j Haiiy Uses for Honey in Household Cooking Honey was the first sweet known a man and was once the only sweet sod in the household. After sugar ras invented St gradually replaced his product. Honey can be used the same way s sugar, however, provided the ouscwife learns the rules for subtitutlug. It may be used on fruits, ereals. in dressing for salads, sweetning for beverages and in baking ams. It also may be substituted or sugar In bread, cakes and cookies. In using honey, instead of sugar In aked products a honey recipe is adised, when one Is available. Honey ontains about one-fifth moisture, so he liquid in an ordinary recipe must e reduced one-fifth. For example: 1 cake recipe calls for one cup of ugar and a half cup of liquid. Measre one cup of honey and half a up of liquid, then remove one-fifth f a cup from the half cup of liquid. Oven temperatures nre Important 2 baking with honey, as the carmellation point is low. Therefore the alxture should be baked slowly and venly. Honey cakes will brown cry rapidly. au imkcd products .'here lioney is used should stand wo or three days before using, as his improves the flavor. )r. Pierce's Pellets are bcBt for liver, owela and stomach. One little Pellet for laxative?three for a cathartic.?Adv. More Pleasant Pastime Many a fellow Is such a firm beiever in luck that he would rather ook for a four-leaved clover than lustle for a Job. Why Hospitals Use a Liquid Laxative Hospitals and doctors have always used liquid laxatives. And the public is fast returning to laxatives in liquid form. Do you know the reasons? The dose of a liquid laxative can be measured. The action can be controlled. It forms no habit; you need not take a "double dose" a day or two later. ATor will a mild liquid laxative irritate the kidneys. The right liquid laxative brings a perfect movement, and there is no discomfort at the time, or after. The wrong cathartic may keep you constipated as long as tyou keep on using it! And the habitual use of i irritating salts, or of powerful drugs in the highly concentrated form of pills and tablets may prove injurious. , A week with a properly prepared liquid laxative like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin will tell you a lot. A few weeks' time, and your bowels can be "as regular as clockwork." Dr. Caldwell's Svrup Pepsin is an approved liquid laxative which all druggists keep ready for use.It makes an idea1 family laxative; effective for all ages, and may be given the youngest child. Member N. R. A. For Hard Coughs or Colds That Worry You Creomulsion Is made to give supreme help for coughs or colds. It combines 7 helps in one?the best helps known to science. It is for quick relief, for safety. But careful people, more and more, use it for every cough that starts. No one knows where a cough may lead. No one can tell which factor will do most. That depends on the type of cold. Creomulsion costs a little more than lesser helps. But it means the utmost help. And it costs you nothing if it fails to bring the quick relief you seek. Your druggist guarantees it. Use it for safety's sake.
