Teddy Sherwood the only wealthy youth of the party is in a >' icalous rage at Tony Fortescue as he j has unsurped the attentions of Chris , tie Bumming an actress. While danc ing with her Tony suddenly kisses I her. It is the first kiss to make ah . impression on the beautiful girl. They '. fall in love with each other. "It will be if I know anything ibout luck, —and I do, because I’ve lived on it” And he put hi? arms round her shoulders and added, "You were going to take something this morning, weren’t you? Tell me.” "What made you cur?; that? I’ve been laughing ever since you cut in.” “The look in your eyes. I’ve seen it before. It always means the same thing.” “Yes,” she said simply. "That’s what it was, all right” Teddy hesitated with green eyes on Tony's complacent face. “No need to ask why. You lovely Quaint thing, you don’t look old enough to have acquired the courage to do that tiling.” “I had it because I’m not old enough,” she said. "-Nothing to lose. No one to break from. No roots. It’s different now.” -y "Why is it?” She didn’t answer. But he felt that she came a little closer to him. . "You can tell me," he said. "You ought to tel! me. Why did we meet like this, on what was gomg to he your last night? Why are we here cow?” "It’s different because ot you,’’ the said, with her usual honesty. Whereupon he drew back quickly, took her little, face in his hands and looked dcply into her eyes. ... He Lad been right to feel superstitious then. He had not intended to come to this fool ball where he was btyrud >■> rub shoulders with all tire people cf whom, temporarily, he wail sick, ski the way to a gambling cluu hf l ad felt a sudden pull to divert the i ah and he had done so instantly: He eyed s\ich hunches implicitly, in hacking horses, at baccarat. It'was ‘he elusive hand of luck. And here >\--s this cxtraordinaiy girl, who had fa’'?n from the top of the tree, whom he had always wanted to meet and rou'drJt,, because she and her sister iad dodged extraneous men, and »hoT! lie had drawn back from the til:c.-koto cf death. There was no argument. She was hu: he claimed her. And he was hers; he know jt. Everything in his pint cried it out. He was to give her life, and she, a twin without her sister, as as a load of hay on a cart with a white horse, a new moon s'en over the left shoulder, a hunch back on the right-hand side on Derby •-ty. was his mascot and his girl. She rouldn’t work for Lcrsetf and he touldi.’t work for her. He never worked. But if he ebuhi keep his own bead above water as an expert swim '.'tcr, he could hold her* above as well. It was a certainty. A snip. The best thing in racing. lie kissed her then and shot out l -ind of triumphant cry. “AH light,” he said. “Prom this mometv. tou and I are against the bally world. Is that a bargain?' l " . - She nodded with a smile of utter tepratipn, and put Jfer cheek igamst m cheek again. V. It was five o’clock when Teddy Sherwood returned -to the box Jnnng hts absence he had dashed off apidly to half, a dozen of Tony’s taunts—the cabmen’s shelters in -artons parts of the town to which hat Wighter so frequently went for i preliminary breakfast with any one vho was still awake, the restaurants laving dosed at a respectable hour. He had been driven into ,W*st ninster Bridge Road too, to See if here were a light in Chriisje’* win low. 4 , . y - , lie had come back to Covent G*r ten because he felt pgpr devil, that n Lady George he bad a friend. The if feet of whisky had worn off, but ■ot of jealousy. He was more than ever determined * make Tony prv for hia rtftwd vening, however long he had to nit He wme a nun who never Several ’'mem 'mm imbibed a little too mcich wine and . that her hair had become a trill* . careless. She vt*. as she always had been, excitable in the presence of an; man who wasn’t her husband, and not only did her tongue run away , with her but her gestures, her facia! expressions and her laugh, especially , her laugh, which wept on loudly, so» no reason at all, like that of an Iris!) cook out under the moon with a friend. One of her guests was Mor timer Pollock, whose brilliant pen, though he was seldom in a con dition to use it, did almost a? much to show the public what egrtgipnj little peddlery the leading politician; were as the szuCcjfe they made Another was a strangely excellent actor, whose metier h was to give fai too truthful portraits of men in senile decay, and so he rarely got the chance. And the others were gentlemen of no visible means, like Tony Fortescue, who worked theii wits far harder to keep alive thar if they had really worked, —very presentable until one got too close when the tremble of the hands and the maplike red lines that ran f)tn; cheek to cheek via an undoubted family nose became apparent. The? put up with the illustrated volubility of dear old Kitty for the sake n'i what she could give them, to eat and drink, and then, like jeehts liu; were liable to meet with ’*>■} in a plentiful supply. How long Lady George would have had to wait until the orchestra died in its shoes cannot be decided. At the moment when Tony Fortesciu Jed Chrissie into the box, singing oul "Hullo, everybody" and Teddy Slier wood got up to spring at his throat, a scream so piercing rose above thr music that it shattered into confusion and stopped, while every woman fell away from her partner and thousand) of eyes, shocked suddenly into in telligence, turned to the place from whence it came. Lady George, who had been tuned tip to drama by Sherwood’s attitude jumped, as she would have said, out of her skin, and ail her party hurried to the edge of the box and leaned over. Tony held Chrissie’s hand in a proprietory grip and Teddv Sher wood. despoiled of his revenge, cursed the interruption and stood impotent In an emptv box on the second tier a man stood with his arms raised above his head. His hair was long and unkempt, his face pale and cada verous, and he wore spectacles and a . rusty suit of black clothes. Hi might have been a Sinn Feiner or an ant:-vaccinationist. He was obviously a fanatic who had slipped in taw noticed from the street. Satisfied that he had captured the attention ■> every one there, lie ■e-at once to shout in a thin, lulercma: voice. ’ ■ fools, thoughtless, sight leas tools, dancing, dancing, when torests -i, trees stand ready to he '.ride into crosses to marl: ilie graves c. half your people. Before it is too ate, no .ortu from the sham paradise in winch ye live, put yotir tars to the ground, nearken to the industry of great tactories that prepare the instruments tor the min of this world, pray to God for strength and courage, and fit yourselves to play - ie part of men in the coming holo caust I tell ye that the hour ap proacheth when ye will dance to th» tune of war. hold each other close m t.ie most unholy fear, fall on your ■ aces before the Four Horsemen ct 1 , ., T>oc j?H p * e . be driven in masse* into t.ie Moodv maw of guns figh> curse shriek, suffer, starve, and if bv a miracle ye escape alive, meet the foul diseases that will ooze from the reeking earth. I say to you " What else he would have said was choked hack into his mouth by the iron hand of a policeman who marched solemnly into the box, seized him by the collar, whirteii him round and walked him off in iront of a stiff, relentless arm. There was a burst of catcalls a scatter of sarcastic cheers, a buzz ot talk. Some one called out "Who goes home?” and the answer came with a roar "We do.” In the m; n ner of geese that follow a leader, a general movement was made to the doors. “What are, you thinking about?” *fkcd Chrissie, looking up into ** most unrecognisable face. War, he said with gleaming i !>y es ; P y 9 od - ■? that man’s right, life begins for me." VI Forgiving everything, even rude ness and neglect, on the part, of a good-looking man Lady George, who had joined in the laughter, swung over illogically to Tony’a side. She always though of him a* a darling in spit*, or perhaps be . cause of, his numerous bad tricka. And when, as now, he gave her one of bis angelic amiles and raised her hands to his Kps as though she wer* . a Queen, she didn’t wobble, ah* crashed. But a quick glance at : Teddy Sher wood tnade her very cer tain that hia assault had only been - postponed by the ridiculous inter : rtiption of that self - appointed Utophet of impossible evil, and so with a touch of masterly strategy she worked another tangent. “Oh, Teddy year,” she said, in her : most wheedling voice, “you’re the ! only nippy member of this party. : Make a bee-line into the street, like a good boy, bag a taxi for me and wait with it at tha corner of York Street until I come along with Lum fey. I’ll follow at once. He hesitated, with green eye* on Tony’a pomplaclpt face. *•... t wtMg mw yup limt THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE ♦##*****##**♦! | % AGRICULTURAL COLUMN $j [ * $ * R. D. Goodman, County Agent 3K i * * | ♦************•» Fertilize Your Wheat. W. F. Pnte, Agronomist, says;! ,Wheat in North Carolina occupied in 1023. 438.000 acres and ranked fourth [> in acreage in the state, beinz exceeded B i only by corn, eotton and tobacco. The i average yield per acre for the state ji i for wheat for 1025 was eleven bustiels. i To produce wheat profitably, it is ’ essential that the yields per acre be i 1 greatly increased over the yields that have been obtained in the past. ; To increase the yields, it is neces sary to put into practice the best 1 types of farming. This will include the following: 1. Seed of high yielding strain ’ suitable to the region. < 2. Treating the seed for smut. 3. Careful preparation of V.ie seed : bed. 4. Using soils suitable for wheat ‘ growing. 5. Seeding at the right time, fl. Using enough seed. 7. Applying the proper plant food. Experiments have shown that wheat responds very profitably to fertilizers. This has been demonstrated time and time again in any experimental way and as demonstration on many farms. In the fertilization of wheat, it should be kept in mind that phos phoric acid and potash will tend to | develop a strong, healthy plant with a large root system which enables the plant to withstand freezing nnd drought better than if fertilizer was not used. Oil soils of medium fer tilit.v or less, nitrogen should be used in the fertilizer to give the plants a good start and vigor, but lnrge ap-! plications of nitrogen should probably not be used before seeding as some loss may occur during the winter. Probably the better way to use nitro gen for wheat is to apply a portion in the fall before the crop is seeded and the other part as a top dressing in the spring when new growth begins. i For North Carolina, the agrieultur- ] al experiment station recommends 300 to 400 pounds of an 8-5-3 fertilizer ‘ for wheat on sandy soils; 300 to 500 A v “Master Cleaner” LOOKS FAR INTO THE FUTURE!
