“Why, she asked) in a smothered
voice.
“They’d registered as man and

Helena drew a long breath. Be
fore his eyes she grew as white
as a dying woman. He half rose
from his chair with an inarticu
late exclamation, but she rallied,
straightened herself and stood
erect- He sank back in his chair
with a foolish laugh, like a man
in sudden relief from pain.
His wife was summoning all her
streng;th to walk slowly to the
door. She must be alone. Something
in the suppressed fury of her look
warned him; he knew he had been
rash.
“Helena!” he said sharply.
“What is it?”
He leaned forward; eamesty, cau

warning.
"Mind not a word of this!” he
said sharply, “no scandal involving

She looked over her shoulder
at him with an odd twisted smile.

And all the while it was Nancy
Gordon! He loved the girl! Yet the
tide of her hatred was turning—
not on him—but on Nancy. Nancy
was a woman, and Helena knew
where to strike a woman. Fury
rose in her like a tide-
She was ripe for any madness.

Old Major Lomax just recovered
from his prolonged attack of gout-
got to his desk and began to figure
on William Gordon’s indebtedness
to him. Not even the house had
! quite wiped, out Gordon’s plunge.
It wasn’t like Gordon. Of course
there was a reason.
Lomax had his own suspicions,
fed up by letters from his cousin
in the trust company. Old man
Beaver had conceived a chronic
distrust of young Gordon. "Going

Lomax, “something eating the boy

old man too much.”
Major Lomax rubbed th"' end of
his nose with his pen. He was
thinking of Nancy when he heard
the front door shut violently and
the rush of feet in the hall. Angie
came in,, dropped into a chair by
his dssk and began to cry .The ma
jor eyed her for began to cry. The
major eyed her for a moment, then
laid dpwn his pen.
“What’s the matter? Shut off
the water-works! What’s wfong

Angie dashed away her tears,
choking and gasping.
'I’m not hurt, I’m mad!” she.
said fiercely. “Uncle Robert, they’
re saying things—perferctly aw
ful things about Nancy Virginia.”
The old man picked up his pen
mechancically and addied up two
sets of figures. His neice strangled
another sob-
“It’s about Richard Morgan—it’s
-it’s perfectly awful, Uncle Rob

One thounsand, nine hundred
and ninety-nine plus—the major
suspended his pen-
“Tell me the whole business, An

"Hump! Where did you get it?”
"It’s a horrid thirg. uncle.

It was ten days befre Haddon
heard the story, a garbled story,
but he came home white •with rage-
“By God, Helena, if I thought
you’d started this!” he stormed
fiercely, finding her alone in her
room-
She looked his over from head
to f^t, beautiful and insolent.
“Do you imagine you were the
only one to read that register?"
she asked cuttingly.
He recoiled in spite of himself.
Of course he had been a fool and
flown off the handle idwat nothing.
"No,” he answered colcfiy.
“Lord!” he said, "women are
the devil!” and he heard his wife’s
laugh, as he shut the door.
At first, Nancy suspected noth

complete, chilling. The old friend

North Carolina farmers bought
heavily of mules this year and
though the number of horses de
creased by 2.000 head, the num
ber of mules increased by 3,000
head, leaving a gain of 1,000
head of work-stock for the state.
"Unfortunately,” says Earl H.
Hostetler, in charge of livestock
research tor the North Carolina
Expirement Station, “this gain
was made by sending money out
of the State and with the pres
ent price of mnles, the money
spent tor only one pair is often

makes on his farm in one year.
The way to stop this steady drain
on the state’s farm resources if
to grow the workstock at home.
The animals so grown will furn
ish a home market for grain,
roughage and pasture and may
be grown with little trouble or,
expense."
Hostetler points out that the .
state must have mares before It
can have mules. A majority of
the mares are now over 10 years
old which makes breeding very
doubtful and If growers could get
