Fresh from a French convent,
Jocelyn Harlowe returns to New
York to her socially elect mother, [
a religious, ambitious woman. The r
girl Is hurried Into an engagement |
with the wealthy Felix Kent. Her i
father, Nick Sandal, surreptaously
enters the girl's home one night.
He tells her he used to call her
Lynda Sandal. The girl Is torn by
her desire to see life in the raw and
to become part of her mother's
society. Her father studies her
surroundings.
Lynda visits her father in his
dingy quarters. She finds four men
playing cards when she arrives.
One of them, Jock Ayleward, her
father tells her, is like a son to
him, but warns the girl he is a
trifler.
Lynda pays a second visit to her j
father and Jock takes her home, on I
the way stopping with her at an K
underworld cabaret. I
Jock gets into a fight with a |
crantrster who insists on dancing |
with Lynda. He then takes Lynda I I
home. Later she mentions Felix'sl |
name to Jock and Ayleward's facer 1
displays his demoniac hatred of the! B
millionaire. I
Jock tells Lynda that Felix caused
him to be sent to jail unjustly 1
by fixing up his report on a mine. *
Lynda says she doesn't believe his story.
She pays another visit to her m
father and goes to a cabaret with ^
him and dances with Jock, who .
suddenly stops and tells her he is
going to take her right home. He J}
had seen Felix dancing with an- ^
other woman. j
Nick discovers Jock making love
to Lynda when he returns home
immediately after the others get
there and reviles him for being a
convict. Returning home Jocelyn mi
finds her mother handling some
immensely valuable jewels, hidden
behind her prie dieu. ot:
Felix tells Jocelyn that Jock is a ha
worthless scamp. Later Lynda tells sti
Jock she does not believe in his innocence
but will try and find, ed
through Felix, some letters Jock w*
claims will clear his name. W1

Jock who was now on his feet

She flushed but went on bravely,
"from you, Jock Ayleward. From

Jock began to move up and down y?

found a small thin man with horn
rimmed spectacles, his hair very
closely cut, leaning forward from
the sofa toward Marcella, who
rigid a*id white, looked an apparition
in her carved highbacked
chair. The man was in the middle
of a long speech. His voice lifted
itself for an instant into her hear-,
ing: "It can hardly be a mistake.
I think, Mrs. Harlowe, she has been
seen twice by two different people."
"Going in by the alley entrance?"!
"Once, ma'am, yes. And oncei

corner of this block: a conspicuouslookin'
young woman with a big
bush of hair under a tarn and a
full pleated skirt with a tight
jacket."
Miss Jocelyn Harlowe, turning to
the mirror, sleeked her hair and
fitted down upon it her small felt
hat. No nun had ever looked paler.
She came into that room quickly
with her proudest grace.
Marcella said, "This is my daugh-'
ter, Mr. Catring. She has been told
of?my loss."
The horn-rimmed spectacles were
turned and rested, shining, upon
her face.
"May I search your bedroom?"
he asked her.
"Why certainly, if mother wishes
you to.
Jocelyn went along the hall. For
a merciful twenty minutes the in
spection of her own room was delayed.
Catring stayed first to examine
Mary's quarters.
During that twenty minutes Jocelyn

as flatly as she could and hid them J
between her mattress and the \
springs.
Mr. Catring came In at his leisure 1
and made a quick and sharp exam- c
ination of her closet, her bathroom,
her window and her fire escape. He 1
looked down for some time at the 1
court below with its opening into
the alley. t
An hour later she breathed easier
when she heard the detective take ?
his leave.
Jocelyn thereupon studied coldly ,
and fiercely what must now be
done before her wedding; day.
She said to Lynda Sandal, "You
must find Nick, if he is to be found
and persuade him to return the
jewels." * J
She said to Jocelyn Harlowe, "Be- <
fore you marry Felix Kent you ?
must prove to Ayleward and to c
yourself that you do not fear the ^
contents of that safe."
And speaking in the character of
Mrs. Felix Kent she said to both j
these girls, "You must be very care- r
ful and you must not be afraid." (
A small number of church invita- {
tions had been sent out, an even (
smaller number of Invitations to a {
breakfast afterward, a larger num- (
ber of announcements went through j
the mails and the papers had their ,
information and their photographs, j
To these matters Marcella, with (
the speech and movements of a |
marionette, had carefully attended. ]
Jocelyn had stood for the first and ,
second fittings of her wedding gown ]
and the apartment began, surprisingly
to her, to fill itself with gifts. ,
"You're giving me everything. ;
Felix," she murmured late cne evening,
the wedding day just sixtytwo
hours ahead, except one thing
and that is wihat I want most."
He had been about to say good
night, one of those lingering good
nights that taxed her patience and
tormented all her nerves. They
were seated together on the small
brocaded sofa. Felix sat back in the
sofa corner and held Jocelyn close
against him.
"It's just?" the pale girl faltered,
lifting her eyes to him and letting
them fall again with a convent
child's timidity or shame, "your
confidence."
Felix stiffened, then drew her
'even closer.

Cotton and Tobacco
North Carolina farmers will aL
vays grow cotton and tobacco. They
mow how to grow the two crops;
;hey are trained and equipped to
p-ow them; and they know that
luring any given series of years,
hese two crops have returned the
lighest acre income.
In this manner, C. B. Williams,
lead of the department of agrolomy
at State College, sums up the
juestion of whether Tarhell farm.
:rs should plant cotton and tobac.
:o this year. Mr. Williams contends
;hat prices below the cost of proiuction
are no new thing. This has
ieen true since 1630 when the early
colonists of Virginia said that only
;he best quality of tobacco paid the
30st of production. In 1894, cotton
brought only 4.6 cents a pound on
December first. At' times since then
the price of both crops has been
below the cost of production.
"But," :iays Mr. Williams, "despite
these low prices, farmers have
