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.

"Save re( him?from what?" ca; She flushed but went on bravely, "from you, Jock Ayleward. From this life of his with?you." va Jock began to move up and down y? the littered room.

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 again just leaving a taxi at the! 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.

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."

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.

(Continued Next Week) Will Always Grow 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 EVERY ACRE of Wheat oats and rye In the county .should have Korean Leapedeza put in it in February 01 March.
