WARMED-OVER SUPPER
By F. L Rowley
George siober looked .guilt
ily up and down the quiet
street before ducking Into the
dingy little restaurant. It wouldn't
do to have his wife Alice find out
about this meeting with the beau
tiful Elaine Thompson; she might
not understand His pulse quick
ened now do he followed a shriv
eled waiter to the old, familiar,
dimly lighted booth
Everything looked exactly as it
did on that fateful day twelve
years earlier when he had Said
good-bye to Elaine. And yet, odd
ly enough, the placf seemed shorn
of its formei glamor Then a
smile, born of wa*m memories,
hung momentarily between
George’s graying sideburns Elaine
would supply the glamor. And
how!
A sobering thought struck him:
this was most unfair to Alice.
She would have supper ready.
Oh well—it had been twelve years.
And today, Elaine had phoned
to arrange this meeting!
After all these years he'd heard
that sweet voice once more He
glanced impatiently at the res
taurant clock. Seven minutes to
six. In seven minutes he'd be gaz
ing into the bluest eyes this side
of heaven.
At two minutes to six George
signalled ilie waiter.
“A bottle 01 sherry please. The
finest. I'm expecting a lady; we'll
order later.”
George was snoring peacefully
when a gray-haired woman laid
her hand on his shoulder. He
blinked uncertainly uo at bespec
tacled blue eyes His voice trem
bled as he asked the unbelievable
question:
‘'You're—you’re not Elaine?”
He realized that his voice was
high-pitched, almost squeaky.
A toothy grin accentuated the
deep wrinkles of her face. Elaine
nodded vigorously. Apparently his
surprise was lost on her.
“But—you—you ve changed!”
he.: croaked.
• «
“So have you,” she answered
softly. “Tell me, George, has lifi
been good to you? Are you mar
ried?”
He # was speechless. How could
twelve short years have wrought
so severe a change in a person?
What terrible tragedy had befal*
len ‘ his erstwhile love to carve
such cruel wrinkles in th'gt fine
brow? But she had asked him a
question—
" Yes. I’ve done all rights and
I’m married. 1 have a lovely wife.”
And he meant it.
The old waiter nearly dropped
his tray when he saw Elaine. Ob
viously he shared George’s sur
prise. He coughed heavily In an
effort to regain his composure.
His hand shook with emotion as
he poured the sherry. George was
flattered by tne old man’s com
cern.
Elaine drank slowly, ostensibly
having trouble with her teeth.
George found himseli wondering
what Alice tiad made for sup
per. After a painful silence he paid
the bill, excused himself awk
wardly. and d;sappeared into the
i evening traffic
“You were magnificent!" cried
■ the delightful waiter as Elaine
removed her make-up "1 almost
' dropped the tray when I saw your
new face. The gentleman looked
■ like he was about to faint.
1 “It was a mean trick ” said
Elaine turning classic features on
the grihning waiter, “but {he man
I'm going to marry next week is
extremely jealous. I just had to
make sure the old flame was ex
tinguished. And George is a fine
1 man—l'm glad he’s married.”
“I’ll bet he is too,” said the
waiter “And I’m thinking he’ll
; appreciate his wife more than ever
—after tonight ” i
■ And George? Well sir. George
• had just parked himself In front
: of a steaming warmed-over sup
per. And the smile he gave Alice
was the biggest she d ieen in
many a month.

SEVERAL SHEEP ADDED
~TO YANCEY FARMS
During the past ninety days
several. Yancey County farmers
have added sheep to their farm
program. With demand far
exceeding supply lamb prod
uction appears profitable for
years to come. There is a good
market for lambs throughout
the' United States and especial
ly Eastern cities. Wool also
will cintinue in demand. Dur
ing normal years the wool crop
will pay feeding costs. This
leaves the lamb crop clear.
Ewes that are well cared for
may be kept for breeders pro
fitably Bto 10 years. Good
grade ewes with a purebred
ram are more practical for
most producers and especially
• beginners. With the average
farm in Yancey County contain
ing between 40 and 50 acres of ■
land and having 20 to 30 acres 1
of open land, the sheep industry 1
can' be developed profitably into
a million dollar annual source
of income. This can be a real
ity within a few years. It will
take initiative, backing of bus
iness and professional leaders,
coopration of all farmers and a
desire of individual farmers to
increase their farm income in
order to provide a better liveli
hood for their family.
During the past year Yancey
farmers have doubled the num
ber of sheep on farms in the
County. With this increase in
numbers, interest has expanded

greatly.
Grady Robinson of Indian
Creek section has added 46
ewes.. He started his Hock •with
a few registered ewe lambs and
has added some good grade ewes
and uses purebred rams.
Also, Charlie Shepherd of
Cane River, George Miller of
Higgins and Bill Woodby of
Jacks Creek are new growers.
Over 100 good grade ewes have
been purchased by Farmers
Home Administration families
during the past thirty days.
Several other farmers are now
fencing and getting ready to
add sheep in the near future.
According to information from
the County Agricultural Council
the “Sheep Chain” for 4-H Club
boys and girls will soon be in
operation. This project should
prove practical and worthwhile
and stimulate the fast growing
sheep industry in Yancey Co
unty. A few good sheep are av
ailable fojr prospective growers.
