"A PRESENT"
SYNOPSIS. ? PART ON E ? At a
merry party in the studio apart
ment of Carter Blake. New York,
?Jerry (Oeraldine) Harmer. Pru
dence's daughter, meets Duane
Allerton. wealthy idler. He ad
mires her tremendously, and she
likes him. Hut Allerton Rets a
bit t-xhilarated, wilfi unfortunate
results. Jerry, resenting his as
sumption of familiarity, leaves
the party abruptly. The story
turns to Jerry's childhood and
youth at her home in l>es Moines.
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 ? f<?r the sake of earning a few
dollars she did not need ? depriving
some oth*r gir" who did Just
that same amount. It seemed to Jerry
it would be little more than a rob
bery.
Theresa watched her moodJIy during
those days, wondering what would
come >of 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

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,

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

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

RIGHT ATTENTION
TO MOLTING HENS
One of two things should be done
with liens around molting time, says
a rdlser In an exchange. One is to
let the older hens go before they fair
ly get to the time for shedding their
feathers. They have now. laid out
their litter and must have some time
to get through their "sick" period,
during which they bring in nothing
and keep eating. Every hen that Is
getting along in years should walk the
plank, right now, unless she is spe
cially valuable as a breeder. If we
would sort our flocks over and do this
early, we would be a good deal better
off at the end of the season.
For the younger birds a different
course must be followed. The one
great thing is to get the hens back to
laying after the molt as soon as we
can. and have them In good physical
condition. For that reason our treat
ment must not be so radical, as some
advise, but natural and steady. If
you watch a molting hen you will see
that she Is Inclined to be weak and
less vigorous than formerly.' If she Ih
not really sick, still she Is "under the
weather." This is because of the
drain while losing the old plumage
and growing a new crop of feathers.
Begin the treatment by cutting
down on the food, especially the
heavy, hearty </ood. for a few days.
Meanwhile give the hens all possible
chance to roam around at will. It
may -take some coaxing to get them t<>
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.

Tell Sex of Guineas
The male and the female guinea
fowls differ so little In appearance
that many persons have considerable
difficulty In making a distinction.
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.
Egg Production Record
The record for egg production in
the United States is 33o eggs in 36o
days, according to Dr. D. C. Warren,
Kansas State Agricultural college, ,
adding that official records made In ;
the United States which exceed SO)
are exceedingly rare, although thou
sands of hens' are trap:iiested each
year by the various experiment sta
tions. With our present knowledge of
management an annual production of
300 eggs is approaching the maximum
production capacity of the hen.
