Only child of a wealthy father, when she is twenty she feels the call of Art and asks her parents to let her (?o to New York for study. With some misgiving. they agree to her, going. In New York Jerry makes her home with a Mrs.. Pelaney ("Mintl"), an act ress. who, with Theresa, a paint er. occupies the house. Jerry takes an immediate liking to Theresa, who is talented and eccentric, and the two become fast friends. Jerry now devotes herself to Theresa, who returns her liking. Jerry poses for Ther esa's masterpiece, "The Ocean Rider." Allerton calls on Jerry. The girl refuses to see him. At a hotel dinner Jerry sees Duane and is conscious of his admira tion. but refuses to change her attitude toward him. Jerry be comes convinced she has not the ability to become an artist and gives her expensive painting equipment to an almost penniless girl student, Greta Val. who can not understand her generosity. CHAPTER VI ? Continued "Jealous? Not a bit of It. I'm Just tired of supporting husbands, that's nil." "Well, the last two were ? a little ? uh ? " "I should sav they were. One stole half the furniture to hock for booze, nnd the other made love to everybody in the house ? Including me ? so you know he was crazy? and neither one (if them earned a cent during their ? their incumbency, as you might say. Well, suppose you go on down now, Mimi, you make me wild. I want to work." "Isn't she polite, Jerry? I don't see how you can stand her. It makes me furious, just to look nt her." Mimi trailed ouf. In a fine hauteur, and closed the door upon the two girls. "If you ever get married, Jerry," Theresa said, "don't let Mimi have anything to do with picking him oui. She has the rotteuest luck with bus hands." Jerry professed her entire disincli nation for a husband of any ~>lcklng. I?ut her eyes were cloudy. ? ?????? A few nights Inter she saw Duane Allerton again. It was a studio din ner at Almee (Jlorlan's. While the other four of the little party played bridge, Jerry and Leonid Koraev, one of the new school of Russian actors, with whom New York abounds, washed and dried the dishes, and then turnel on the phonograph, and tagoed gayly about the table In the center of th? ' room where the others wore playing. Leonid was obviously enchanted, .terry gay and not deterring. He held her close In his arms, drnwlng her ardently closer at frequent intervals. Jerry laughed, thrust a bare white elbov between litem, crooking It Impudently almost In his very face, holdln* him a little away. Leonid kissed her arm. Jerry was looking up. directly into his eyes, teasing, laughing, as they danced slowly about. He shifted his arm suddenly, crush ing her elbow away, holding her so close that she was obliged to tilt back her head to avoid his face touching hers. "I shall bite your chin If you do ih.it again." she warned him merrily. That was when she saw Dunne, who had come in quietly and was standing in the shadow of a towering highboy in the corner. Jerry strove in vain to throw off the chill of depression, to smile with the same assiduous warmth upon Leonid. She could not. The others at the table, quarreling fiercely over a hand, did not even stop to welcome Duane when he joined them. When Jerry nnd Leonid paused to hear the argument Dunne hurriedly . (Hind the phonogra* h and asked her to dance. Jerry shook her head. "No, thanks. Not now. I'm tired." She even smiled a little, t< deceive the others in the room. Duane turned his back upon them, forcing her to withdraw from them a little and stand uione with him. "Will you? after a little when you are rested?" She shook her head again, smiling, not looking at him. "I fancy I shall be tired all evening," she said. "You are more beautiful than ever Jerry." ?Thiuik you." She did not ever: flush beneath the warmth of his - ,-es. She would have returned to the table, but he retained her one instant longer. "Then you really v'efer the violent Russian method to my more plebeian style?" "Yes; very much." They abandoned bridge, then, and played penny ante, the seven of them, gambling furiously for pennies. Jerry was very quiet, her hands like Ice, but she kept a steady eye upon her caids, and after- two hours was a winner by 42 cents. She said she knew It was playing a VIcked poker to win nnd pa\e, but she had an apoolnlrnent with Theresa at eleven, she mUl,t really go. Leonid also Insisted he had an engagement uptown and would walk l>y Keilly's alley with her on Ills way for h bus. And they went out quickly, the others barely pausing In their play to suy good-by, although Duane's eyes followed her to the door. She did not look back. #?????? Theresa surprised her one morning by asking abruptly: "When are you going home, Jerry?" Jerry blushed and marveled that she did so. She would have said she bad never thought of going home. "I don't know? perhaps not at all," she said confusedly. "1 am not think ing of it yet. Theresa, what do girls do when? there Is nothing to do ? and r reaso; lor doing It?" "God knows. I've often wondered." said Theresa tersely. She had tried to help Jerry come Into her own. had offered countless suggestions Ic that Impersonal wny ?'f hers which kept her interest free lrom all Intrusivenesa. But ;to every t sug gestion Jerry had but the one answer: "But why, Theresa? Why?" For Jerry, still passionately In search of a ralson d'etre, saw no en ticement In a hard manual work which would wear her out mentnlly, pnys ically ? fof it, knowing that eventually Jerry would go home. "When you go home." she would say ? not "if," and Jerry always Mushed and answered stubbornly : "But I do not know yet If I shall." ? ?????? Theresa came to her door one night. Jerry was Jt st ready to leave, going uptown to a theater with Aimee Glo ria n. 4 "Theresa, you go to bed," said Jerry crossly. "You look so tired. I Just wish my Prudence could get .iold of you for a few days, fjbe'd make you step around !" "I step around too much as It Is." said Theresa, laughing faintly. "That's the trouble with me. But I am tired. Jerry. I am really going to resr." "I'll believe that when I see It." said Jerry. "You're flesh fnay be tired, but it won't rest." "You'll see, one of these days. Jerry. ? I have a present for you !" Jerry was girlishly excited. "A pres- | ent for me, Theresa? Where Is It? | What?" "Leave your door unlocked. It will be In your room when you come back. I hope you are going to like it." "Oh, Theresa, I know I shall love It I can't Imagine what ? oh, Theresa. I hope ? " "You hope ? what?" "Oh, I shall love anything you give me, Theresa, you so seldom do things like that. But I hope It is Just a little teeny scratch of yours ? a splash of paint on an Inch of canvas If no more. I should love something of yours. I've been wanting one so aw fully much and ? " ' ' "You're very Inquisitive," said The resa. ."But I shan't tell you a thing. It will be here when you come back." ?yj've a big notion not to go at all," declared Jerry. "I don't care for the old show ? I want to see my present." "You go along." Theresa tossed her wrap from the chair across her shoul ders. She followed her out Into the hall and leaned over the banister as Jerry stood on the second step below, smiling up at her. "Jerry, you wished once that 1 might have been your sis ter. Do you still?" "YeR, more than ever." "I wish so, too," Theresa acknowl edged soberly. "But of course It couldn't possibly be, not by any man ner of means." She hesitated a little. "The things that go into making a Jerry, a'ml those that go into a The resa ? Oh, no, not by the wildest stretch of imagination." She laughed a little, ruefully, and, leaning over, kissed Jerry suddenly on the top of her head. "Bun along now, aud be a good girl." CHAPTER VII And Jerry Saw Prudence Jerry left Aimee at the entrance to Beilly's alley, hurriedly let herself into tl.j house, and started up the slairs on a light run. She was impatient to set the present Theresa had left for her. She noticed no unnatural quiet in the house. And yet when she sa\: Mind waiting for her at the top of the stairs, a lovely picture in her bright gown with trailing tinseled fringes, she felt a sudden chillingo? her eager ness. "Oh, hello," she said. "You startleJ me a little. You look like a solemn ghost in silk and fringe." "Come into my room a while, will you?" Mlmi asked, and there was hollowness in her usually lilting voice. "Everybody's out. You're the first one home. I don't want to be alone." Jerry, with her usual willingness to please, followed along Into her sitting room In the rear of the narrow hall, un effective room, which Theresa found unbearably stuffy, but into which Mlmi fitted to nice perivtion, all shaded lights, with great bronze burners ot pungent incense, oriental hangings, sill* en cushions. "Sit her-e, d?arle, In this ligLt, it just suits you," Miml said absently, from force of habit, tucking a cushion against Jerry's shoulder as she liad ,done "Not with I "But just a 1} go Ically, "I d wondetf Miml knotted ?'She a hundred t lines before.

There Is something so? defiant? about It." They sat down opposite each other, stiffly. Jerry in 'the great chair, Miml lighting another cigarette as she lay tense and rigid on the chaise longue Looking at her suddenly Jerry realized that the painted woman Ir. the trailing silken gown was broken-hearted, suf fering tilings Indescribable that her very thoughts were bleeding. "Miml, you loved Theresa, dldu t you?" That curious, clinging friendship be tween the young girl with her terrific 'energy, and the frivolous, light-hearted woman was the greatest mystery Jerry had touched upon In the great city. Miml smoked passionately, twisting the cigarette between her lips.- Sud-. enly she tossed it Into the fireplace, lit another. Her fingers were blue. "You didn't know that I am There sa's mother, did you.^ Jerry? I don't suppose she told you." That was more than Jerry could bear. She broke into high, hysterical laughter. "Miml 1 Don't !" Miml nodded again. "She was my daughter." She began to explain with nervous Intensity. "She called me Mudder when she was a little baby, but she grew up Into such a funny, long-legged monster of a child ! And I hadr-my admirers, my career. In the profession they want you always to remain young, unmarried and free. It was absurd to lay claim to youth with a great girl like Theresa bran dishing my past In ray face. So we fell Into the way of using Miml and Theresa. Lots of them do, on the stage. She liked It? Theresa liked It." Jerry said nothing, could say noth ing. Poor Theresa! She thought of the terrible, tragic loneliness of the brilliant young artist. Her mother she had sacrificed to youth and beauty, !ipr love she had given up ?for Art. Vow she was dead, glad of her free dom from a life which had only tired her. Jerry shuddered. She sat mo tionless, shocked beyond words. "Oh, you are blandng me!" Miml cried suddenly. "You do not under stand ! - I tell you It Is often done In the profession. We think nothing of it. You have never understood me. nor Theresa ? none of us! You were never one of us !" "No. I was never really one of you." Jerry did not resent it. Ste was glad. "Theresa didn't mind. She liked It. From the time she was a baby she wanted to he free, to be left alone. She didn't like a fuss made over her." Jerry shook her head, uot grasping it. "Children? they never know what they want. But you. Miml, didn't you want people to know? Yoy should have been so proud of Theresa. My mother ? why, she is even proud of me! She ? when she meets people I have known she likes to Introduce her self that way? Just, 'I am Jerry's mother.' " "I was proud of Theresa," Insisted Miml. "I know how wonderful she was. But ? a woman can't stop being n woman just because she has a baby? can she? I had my life, my work, my lovers. Oh, everyone will blarne me I But Theresa liked her freedom! She should have thought of me before she did this thing ? she never thought of me ? Art, always, before everything." "But, Miml," Jerry Interrupted her, stammering, "If you are her mother, you must know why !" Jerry is now more ever adrift. ^The natural thing is for ier to go home. But will ah?? (TO BE CONTINUED.) The Origin of News The word "news" developed from an early American newspaper heading. The four points of the compass \v?re placed at the top of the first sne do this, but it Is better for them than to dump about in the houses. The more the hen stirs around, the health ler she will be. About the same ration may be given during the period of molting that is used when the hen Is laying ep;?s rep ularly. But as the molt goes on, it to a good" plan to add some oil meal, which enters Into feather construction quite largely. Ten per cent of oil meal in a mash mixture. Increasing to twice that, will do nicely. Watch the droppings and act accordingly. Don't give drugs; they are (tangerous and may lead to trouble. Sunflower seeds are better than medicine. Be kind and patient with the molting birds. Market Demands Plump, WelJ-Fattened Turkeys The market demands plump, well fattened turkeys and prime birds bring the best prices. In order to get the benefit of this extra price it is necessary that the turkeys intended for market be fattened by generous feeding for a period of three weeks to a month before marketing them. Ex periments with confining turkeys at fattening time have not proven very satisfactory. By feeding the flock on good, sound, preferably old, corn spar ingly at first and gradually increasing the amount until the birds are getting all they will ea< along with all of the sour milk or buttermilk the birds wjll drink, it will be found that the "fin ish" put on, as well as the weight added, will more than pay for the extra effort required. Before deciding upon which birds are to be selected for fattening, select and mark those that are to be kept for breeding stock. To sell the big gest and best is sure to result In a falling off in the vigor of the flock and consequent losses.

Usually the males can be distin guished by their larger helmet (comb) ajid wattles, also by a coarser head ; but to be positive one should listen to the cry made by each bird. That of the female resembles "buckwheat, buckwheat,"' and is decidedly different | from the one-syllable Shriek of the male.
