On th might bt- fort tkt final conference Helen ruehea to Dennit to tU him that England tea about to launch op warfart im Ireland and begged Aim to tign thl Treaty. Chapter 6 All that day, since early morning, Helen had been waiting in the ante room adjoining the Council Chamber where, at the final conference, Ire land' (ate waa being decided. No, not Ireland'), but here and Dennis'. Up and down, op and down aba walk ed, her heeU clicking on the marble floor, her face tense and drawn, not daring to think er hop bat praying silently. It Dennis signed the Treaty, if England and Ireland mad peace, there woald be a mora white nights of wondering where ha was ne more torture they weald be two yoa&g people free to lor at last. Suddenly th doer of the Coandl room waa flung open. Tho Irish Delegation walked down tho ball rap idly, Dennis trailing behind. When ho saw Helen he stopped. B waa haggard and there was a look of de feat rather than of victory about him aa ha answered her unspoken oattoa ?:::-:-: Slowly, a If h were taking an oath, hi told, "S tkatt tovt yon, With all my heart, forever, Can von remember that xcerdet" Tcs,H he told her, 1 signed tt It must have been right or God could n't have let it happen I wanted peace for Ireland ..." Helen laughed excitedly. "I'm so glad Oh, Dennis! There's nothing to keep us apart any more, is there?" Still unsmiling, he .shook his head. "My poor solemn one it's over now! Over!'' He broke In quickly: "I must go, I have to take th Treaty, back to Dublin tonight." "Let me go with you!" ah begged. "No no!" She looked so forlorn that ho took her hand and. said softly, "Helen, darling I bar so much to say to you and no time to say it " He kissed her then,, hungrily but without joy. And slowly, aa if he were taking an oath, he said, "I shall love you with all my heart for ever. Can yea remember those words 7" ! She repeated after aim, "I shall 'lore you, with all my heart, forever!" She was bewildered and alarmed. 1 "Dennis what do yon mesa?" I "No," he aald, making aa effort to 'smile, "we're not going to aay good bye erer " Once more, before she could speak, he took her in his arm and kissed 1 her. Then he was gone. Helen stood looking after him, torn by doubts and confusion and longing. Her father came up behind her. "I've come to respect that man,", muttered Lord Athleigh. "The brav eBt man I'r ever known. Heaven help him!" "Father!" she cried in anguish. "What's wrong?" "When he signed tho Treaty he admitted he was signing his own death warrant" It was a happy day for Ireland a day for jubilation and laughter and singing. Lorries - rumbled - through the streets of Dublin, piled Ugh with soldiers waring goodbye to th cheer ing throng.

That they meant to kill' him waa plainly written on their faces. Bat her impassioned pleading fell on unresponsive ears. They took no pains to conceal their contempt and hatred, believing her responsible for Dennis' treason. Aa tho clock s track eight O'Ronrk took up his gun and hurried out Her heart pounding madly, Helen followed. In a public square Dennis stood on a platform brilliantly lit by flares and addressed the people massed about him. His voice rang with passionate sincerity, and they listened, their faces uplifted, moved and silent "For eight hundred years," he told them, "Irish patriots hare fought for freedom. They died to keep alive the ideal that Ireland might some day achieve a government of its own. And now, for the first time 'in Irish his tory, we have that government!" A burst of wild cheering interrupt ed him. When It subsided he con tinued: "But all they fount for will be lost unlee you, who wQI enjoy th peace for which they struggled, make that peae a permanent and lasting ie." On th outskirts of th crowd Hel en and Cathleen were straggling to get cloaer to Dennis, bat their path waa blacked by a solid wall f homaa- mere ar a mesa) us, Dennis continued, "some men who still be Here that Ireland is not yet ready for peace.

How these methods of gully ero sion control were adapted to favor wildlife -development on the farm of J. M. Knox, one of the coo pera tors in the Charlotte demonstration area of the Soil Conservation Service, is explained by Sidney Franklin, Junior biolOgUt. 1 l : jv.l j f! - " " Guides bn the farm,' 'large and small, - were planted .with hardy shrubs such as wild plum, wjld rose, privet, and CAralberjry in the winter and early spring ilr- ThelanH bottoms in such -a way as to actas lWing; dain't'v'v;-'- ' The guWes were then seeded to a mixture of common and aericea les pedeza, in a ratio of about four to one in favor of the common variety. The ground was prepared by raking before and after seeding and the seeded areas were mulched with pine needles and brush to hold the seed in place until vegetation became established. ,s These plantings provided both food and cover for wildlife, and in order to round out the program several areas along field borders-and other waste spaces not. ordinarily used for cultivation were planted to cowpeas, millets and' sorghums. This variety of plantings was designed to furnish food throughout all seasons. Erosion in gullies and gaUejlpots about the farm was (pbnpteews trolled by these, methods. . Inspection after the vegetation became firmly established showed that these areas were being extensively used by quail and other species of birds, Franklin said. RETURN FROM VIRGINIA Mrs. D. S.
