"Oh, Nancy dear, he doesn’t
mean it!” Mrs. Gordon cried tim
idly.
Nancy did not hear her. When
her father’s furious fist struck the
table she let go her hold upon it
and drew back, staring at him,
fascinated. Then she turned slow

"Nancy!” her mother’s voice
quavered.
The girl did not answer her; she
turned and looked back at hei
father. "We—we may keep it se
cret—the marriage—Richard leave;
it to me.”
"Secret?” Mr. Gordon roared
"secret? What’s this? Is he
ashamed of it already?”
Nancy gasped. "No,” she saic
with white lips, "he isn’t—I am!’
As she spoke she went slowly oul

rocker. Her husband marchec
tumultuously about the room. A

"Oh, Papa, you’ve broker

He swung around on her, hi

"Heart? Broken her heart—I’
I’d like to thrash her!” he bellowed
"You’ll have a stroke, William
you’ll have a stroke—if you don’
stop!’
"Stroke be hanged!” he said
and rushed to the telephone. H
had just thought of it.
He called up Richard. "Yes,
want to see you—now—righ
away! All right. I’ll wait!” H
hung up the receiver and began t
stride up and down again.
Mrs. Gordon knew the girl mus
be wretched and her heart wen

| Field Tested Fertilizer”
i
IF you want a good quality cot*
ton crop with good staple and
weight, use Royster’s Cotton
Fertilizer. Give your cotton the
kind of plant food that gets it
jj off to a quick, strong growth,
l puts on holts and matures them
early. Royster’s Fertilizer does
these things; our field tests prove
< jj it to us—your profits will prove
it to you.
And remember this: Royster’s
is made in one quality only—the
best. You can pay more or
you can pay less, but you cannot
jj buy better fertilizer for growing
cotton.
Royster experts are continu
ally studying cotton, learning all
there is to know about fertilizing
it. They never stop experiment
ing and improving. They test
every fertilizer in the laboratory,
and field-test it in the cotton
field. Only refined materials are
used to make sure that the pur
est obtainable grades go into
Royster sacks. As a result we
know that Royster Cotton Fer
tilizer will give you the results
yon want.
See your Royster agent today j
and let him know how many
