The food was rather tasteless, end she was glad to finish, to go back to the rosy solitude of her sitting room. On her <k s\ was a picture of Foil. What smiling eyes lie had. A* -i such u firm, determined chin. Impatiently she turned the picture to the wail. She dropped into a chair with Such force that sl.e knocked her brass bowl of roses to the floor. There they lay at her feet, 12 fat, pink blossoms in a sad, splashed puddle of w ater. She lighted the howl, picking the bloom* up tenderly. Dolt had sent them to her. Wearily she stamped from the room and donated the howl of fra grance to the library. It was all over. And she was glad. Put she wished now that she hud something to do. •Sadly she gazed out of the window. All the little plots of grass were an eager ardent green. A robin sang lustily from a budding sapling. Mar ger.v, disapproving of his flaunted gnyety, closed the window. The telephone rang. The tailor WOUln Send Up nor suO t,»nn>rr,»w. TWv telephone rang again. Aunt Miriam would like Margery to dine with her on Wednesday, ihe doorbell rang. With unconscionable haste Margery dashed into tne ball. What was it. Tessa? Who was if?

After that letter he would never call, ljut it was not yet live o’clock ; he hadn’t received it yet. Margery wa.s nearly consumed with regret that she had ever written the note. The door shimmed. She leaned fur over the bannister. “Tessa, who was it V” “Oh. miss, he careful; don’t fall."

A lmilHed shout hid lier enter. Tessa crept iu. "Well—” “Oh, Miss Margery, this morning, you know, I hud the toothache awful." “I’m sorry.” “Put, miss, I had it so bad I took to iny lied —” “Oh, that’s all right.” “But, miss, I —l just remembered, raise, that I haven’t—er —that I didn't yet post that letter you gave me. It’s here, though, and I’ll go right out — Whmt. miss?" “I said ‘give It to me.’ Thank yon, and never mind, Tessa.” The door closed behind the relieved little maid. The telephone rang There was a sound of tearing, crumpling pa per. Then Margery answered casu ally. “Yes . . . yes, this is Marge. . . . What? . . . Why, I’d love to. Bob. . . . Won’t you come to dinner here first? Mother would love to have you. ... At seven. . . . Fine . . . Good-by, dear.” Margery smiled. Then she turned back the picture on her desk, and, humming a little song, danced off to the library to retrieve her bowl of roses. TAR HEEL STUDENT SECOND IN JUDGING New York, Jan. 9.—The highest in dividual score ever recorded in the 15 years of competition in the inter collegiate poultry judging by M. L. Seymore, of the Connecticut State, Agricu’ture School, Stores, Conn., at the poultry show at Madison Square Garden. Seymore scored 330.4 points out of a possible 400. W. W. Keever, of the North Caro lina team, was second. _ j, urfu 4 * »l iuuy Present By 11. IRVING KING ii . > m!!K town* was a Nc*.v F* ;hirr! i- immunity of ah.tut 1 je ll hit ants. T'ie principal man in tin* to','[i was ,f ,),,b Fullerton < ' ■ ** wealth had a- au-ied sueii ; as to cause hi - fellow townsmen to ask each n'b.'i*. “D<*tv nmob' iio v»m suppose old .lake is wutli. ’anyhow?" Jacob’s daughter. Madeline, was fair to look upon and. though now ap proaching the age of twenty-six, was still unmarried. Whereat people wan dered. The answer was that she was in love with Harold Farlngtoti and her father would not hear of her marrying that young man. Harold would not hear of her marrying him, either —lie was poor. Madeline would have eloped with him; but he had a horror of being considered a fortune-hunter and. more than ail, considered that he had no right to take the girl lie loved from the wealth and luxury with which she was now surrounded to share his present privations. Harold's father laid been obsessed with tlie idea that nature hel in tended him for a great financier— whereas nature had intended him for no such tiling. The result of this little misunderstanding was that, af ter divesting himself of an Inherited fortune, Farlngtoti senior had died of worry and chagrin, leaving his son with an education and a profession and naught else besides. So Harold had set out to practice* law in Ids native towns Mu! so far 'be two older lawyers there had scene d sufficient for tlie needs of the town Into Harold’s little office walked one day Jacob Fullerton, beaming with smiles. Harold could hardly have been more surprised had tin* soldiers and sailors’ monument in the square casually dropped iu on him. For a year Jacob's only recognition of the young lawyer laid been a scowl and a nod. ‘‘Well, Harold my hoy,” said (lie man of money; “how’s busi ness?” "Not very good. Mr. Fullerton." re plied Harold; “the people of this com munity don’t seem, as yet, to ap preciate my legal ability.” "Hum," sttid Jacob. “IVell, you can afford to wait awhile. Your father. I am sorry to say, was not n very good judge of values; but la* doubtless left you some securities upon which you can realize until you get established?’' “I liigrct to gay. sir,” returned Harold, “that, its far as 1 can find out. none of the securities left me by my falher is of the slightest value.” “Too had, too had.” sympathized Jacob. “That sort of tiling is rather in my line, you know—perhaps I might filck out some of them for which a market might he made. Well, good day. Haven't seen you at the house for a long time. Madeline was speaking of you only yesterday Gome up to dinner tonight. It's tier birth day." And to* went out leaving Harold in a stiite of pure bewilderment. What was up? Was it possible that among that assortment of financial junk stowed away in an old trunk there wns something of value after r’l something. t':nt Jacob want IV ; how could that In*? Harolds dubious iioiduigs had been worth less. He was still wondering when the office door op*-: . I so admit ano'lo r visitor—this time a s. ranger. Toe stranger looked ail bu n<*ss and im mediately proceeded to business. "Mr Harold Farington I presume?" in quired the stranger. Harold assented "Your father, the late Murcellus Far ington,” went on the unknown, “was possessed of 1,000 shares in tin* Yai pedras Live Stock company. Arid land —Texas —unsuitable for cuttle raising—attempt a failure. Well, some rich men with money to fool away— New Yorkers —think that, by expend ing a million or so —artificial irriga tion—they may. In about twenty years from now. be able to make the property pay. At present worthless. Give you five dollars a share for your stock. What do you say?” “Let you know tomorrow after noon,” replied Harold. And that whs the best the stranger could get out of him. As soon as the unknown had de parted Harold cnlled long-distance and talked with a former classmate of his, now in a Wall street office, asking him what he knew about Valpedrus. That night after dinner Jncob took Harold Into the library and broached the question of stocks and bonds. “Before we go into that matter," said Harold, “I wish to ask you for the hand of your daughter." “Why, why, my dear boy!" cried Jacob, “you are not in any financial condition to marry; especially witli a girl brought up as my daughter lias been." "Oh, yes I am,” replied Harold. "I am tlif* owner of 1,000 shares of the Yalpedras company. Oil has been discovered on the land —and I am a rich man.” “And you knew it when I was talk ing to you this morning,” roared Jacob. “No,” replied Harold. “I learned it over the telephone about an Dour later." "Humph, * said Jacob, “that stock of yours is worth half a million - perhaps a great deal more. Ht'tie half of it on Madeline and you can have tier. Madeline!

FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 1926 FUNDS NOT SI FI It I ENT FOE CAPE FEAR BRIDGE ■ Ea'imatcs on a tunne' and a bridge ito span the Cane Fee River are being worked out by the State ifigh *wa f'mnn i- - lop, aad both estimates ■ ;l' d t a hi* j-e* • •*. d : his mth, when Wilm-ngt/m and th i St? te Highway Coiar.iiss on will be ~! n. i., ffjj* together and talk bu sines-. ■ T! •* pro- pact of a tunnel was lc.--etied , wl; sn it wa. found >he cost was much ; higher than at first anticipat *d, Com ic . sioner Frjfnk Page state at a con | ference with Commissioners Addison ! Hewlett and Frank M. Ross of the New Hanover Board, and W. L. Cra ven, highway engineer. The br dge will cost materially more than was at first estimated and the SI,(100,000 worth of bonds authorized by the 1925 legislature is not thought to be sufficient to cover the cost of the bridge. When Mr. Page suggested a tunnel, he es timated that the cost would be ma teria’ly lower than that of a bridge. There is a large amount of traffic over the river each day, according to Mr. Ross. DUNN’S COTTON SALES BREAK All RECORDS Dunn, Jan. 9.—Receipts on the Dunn cotton market from the crop of 1925 already have broken all the j previous records, more than 30,000 bales having been marketed and pooled h< re from last year’s crop. Sales on the open market have now passed the 17,000 mark, while 13,000 bales have been poled in the local co-operative marketing warehouse, j Around 50 bales are now being of fered daily on the open market and the total for the season is expected to be at least 35,000 bales. The lo cal market handled .iO.OOO bales from the crop of 1924, breaging the record up to that time. Dunn makes the uri , disputed claim of being the largest wagon cotton market in the State. MUCH SEED CORN FOR 1920 INJURED BY FALL FREEZES It is, not likely that there will be any widespread shortage of seed corn n the spring of 1926, but is s ex tremely likely, says the United States Department of Agricultuer, that many individual farmers and even some entire communities will find that the seed corn on which they had counted will not grow. Tests already made of many lots of seed in the Corn Belt indicate that the germi nating power of much of the corn was injured by the low temperatures which occurred in October before the corn had dried out thoroughly*. The safe thing to do, says the department,! is to find out now whether or not the seed will grow and, if not, get some that will while there is plenty of time before planting. Where tests show that the germi nation of corn is very poor it will probably* be better to obtain sac l from some other source. Where, how ever, it is found by a prelimi nary gemination test that only some or the ears in the lot were injured it, l/i batter to get enough ears Vr planting by careful selection that is based on appearance followed by COMMON SENSE EFFICIENCY President Mitchell of the National City Bank of New York say the people do not fully realize the very high efficiency of the service given by the railway systems of our coun try, which expedites marketing farm crops, and enables raw materials to flow in and manufactured products to flow out of the factories for dis- j tribution to retailers, with clocklike ! regularity*. Besides expending billions of dol lars on materials, supplies, wages, taxes, interest and dividends, they en able the farmer, business man and manufacturer to work in perfect har mony and with the greatest prosper ity. The same is true of other lines of j public utility* and public service liko; telephones, insurance, banking and electricity. In these fields the Amer ican people are the best served peo ple in the world. Extended telephone development is ; to be undertaken in Chile.

This may have en abled the seed on these ears to escape freezing injuiv in some cases. A ger minat on ; ■ > of ears selected from a few shocks will show whether or not such seed will grow. Many useless ears can be detected and discarded without the labor of the germination test if an examina tion of the germs of two or more ker nels from each ear is made firts. Cut through the kernel, across the germ. If the germ has been killed by freez ing, it frequently turns dark and has a watery appearance. Ears with the germs having this appearance need not be tested further, but should be discarded as the seed on them will nit grow. The fact that the germs, do not show freezing injury is not conclusive evidence, however, that the seed will grow. Such ears should be given the germination test. If satisfactory seed corn can not be obtained on the home farm, try to locate some that was picked be fore frost on a neighboring farm. County agents usually know those in the community who have good seed and the agricultural experiment sta tions have similar information with regard to the State.
