I've got to atand by Louise for tie next two or three months, and well write the play while I'm doing It Then, whether America enters the war this spring or not. I’m going to France. But we'll talk over all that later. Are you off?" He ushered them to the door. •And it's all right, boy?” Epstein uked wistfully. “You know how veil re meant. You ain’t got no hard feeltup about this?” “Not one." Laurie wrung his hand. Then, with an arm across Rodney’s shoulders, he gave him a bearish hug. "I'll see you a little later," he promised. Rodney suddenly looked self conscious. ‘Perhaps then you’ll give me a chance to tell you some news,” he suggested, with a mixture of triumph and embarrassment. Epstein's knowing grin enlightened Laurie. “Sonya?" he asked eagerly. “Yep. Great, isn't it?" Laurie stared at him. "By Jove, you have been busy I" he conceded. "Between manufacturing a frame-up for me, and winning a wife, you must have put in a fairly full week even for you.” His arm tightened rosnd his chum’s shoulders. "I'm delighted, old man.” he ended, seriously. “Sonya is the salt of the earth. Tell her she has my blessing " When he re-entered the room he found Doris standing In Its cepter, waiting for him. Something in’ her pose reminded Idm of their first mo menti together in that familiar setting. She had carried off the original scene very well. Indeed/she had carried off very well most of the scenes she had been given. “Laurie —” Her voice trembled. “You have forgiven the others. Can't you forgive me?” "There's nothing to forgive,” he quietly told her. "You saw a chance and you took It In the same conditions, I suppose any other girl would have done the sume thing. It’s quite ail right, nd I wish you the best luck in the world. We’ll try to m ke the new play worthy of you." “Y>”j’re not going to forgive me!” • she rled.

It was the pose he knew so well and had loved so much. “Cant you understand?" she went on. “I’ve hated It from the start. I've hated deceiving you. You see—l —I didn’t know you when I began. I thought it was just a good joke and awfully interesting. Then, when I met you, and you were so stunning, always, I felt like a beast. I told them I simply couldn't go on, but they coaxed and begged, and told me whnt it would mean to you as well as to me— They made a big point of that.” lie took his favorite position by the mantel and watched her as she talked. "I don’t want the play,” she cried passionately. "I wouldn't appear in It now under any conditions. I don’t want to go on the stage. It was just a notion, an impulse. I've lost it, all of it, forever. I’m going back home, to my own people and my—own Virginia, to—to try to forget all this. I’m going tomorrow.” "You're excited,” said Laurie, soothingly. He took her hands and field them. "I’ve put you through a bad half-hour. You understand, of course, that I wouldn't have done It If I hadn’t been made to realize that your whole thought, throughout this experiment, has been of the play, and only of the Play." She drew back and looked at him. “What do you mean?" "Why—” It was hard to explain, but he blundered on. "I mean that, for a little time, I was fool enough to hope that —that —some day you might care for me. For of course you know, you’ve known all along—that I —love you. But when I got the truth—” "You haven’t got the truth.” She was interrupting him, hut her face had flashed Into flame. "You haven't had It for one second; but you’re going to get it now. I’m not going to let our lives be wrecked by any silly misunderstanding.” She stopped, then rushed on. "Oh, Laurie, can’t you see? The only truth that counts between us Is that I—l—adore _you! I have from

And when I come back from France —" “When you come back from France you'll come back to your wife,” she {old him steadily. “If you’re going, I'll marry you before you go. Then I'll wait and pray, and pray and wait, till you come again. And you will come back to me," she whispered. “Something makes me sure of it.” "I'll come back,” he promised. “Now, for the first time, I am sure of that, too.” • •••••• Four hours later Mr. Laurence Devon, lingeringly bidding good night to the lady of his heart, was surprised by a final confidence. “Laurie,” said Doris, holding him fast by one button as they stood together on the threshold of the little studio,” do you know my real reason for giving up my ambition to go on the stage?” "Yes. Me,” said young Mr. Devon promptly and brilliantly. “But you needn't do It. I’m not going to be the ball-and-chaln type of husband.” “I know. But there are reasons within the reason.” She twisted the button thoughtfully. “It’s because you’re the real actor In the family. When I remember wbat you did to the three of us In that murder scene, and so quietly and naturally, without any heroics —" She broke off. “There are seven million things about you that I love,” she ended, "but the one I think I love the best of all Is this: even in your biggest moments, Laurie darling, you never, never ‘emote!’" CHAPTER XVIII “What About Laurie?” From the New York Sun, January 7, 1919: "Among the patients on the hospital ship Comfort, which arrived yesterday with nine hundred wor.nded soldiers on board, was Captain Laurence Devon, of the American flying forces In France. “Captain Devon Is an American ’ace,’ with eleven air victories officially to his credit. He was awarded the French Croix de Guerre and the American Distinguished Service medal for extraordinary heroism on August 9, 1918, when he went to the assistance of a French aviator who was fighting four Fokker planes. In the coinhat the four German 'machines were downed and their pilots killed. The Frenchman was badly hurt but eventually recovered. “Captain Devon is well known In American social and professional life. He is the only son of the late Horace Devon, of DeVondale, Ohio, and the brother-in-law of Robert J. Warren, of New York. Before the war he was a successful playwright. Just before sailing for France last year, he mar. ried Miss Doris Mayo, daughter of the late General Frederick Mayo, of Richmond, Virginia. On reaching Ids New York home today he will see for the first time his infant son, Rodney Jacob Devon.” [THE ENDJ (TO BE CONTINUED!

Schwab, of the Purdue University Extension Staff in regard to an exhibit on live stock feeding recently placed in the office of County Agent L. M. Busche. The economy with which pigs of | different weights will convert feeds into pork has been determined by many hundreds of piak. The first 100 pounds of growth or from birth to 100 pounds required 304 pounds of feed, the second 100 poun is 359 pounds of feod the fourth 100 pounds 470 pounds as teed and fifth 100 pounds 510 pounds of feed. It will be noted that the first 200 pounds of growth are produced very economically when feed requirement is considered. As the hogs grow heavier, an Increasing amount of feed Is required to grow a pound of gain. Fat hogs, weighing from 195 to 230 pounds, are often spoken of as handy weights. If these hogs have arched backs, strong straight feet, deep chests Is Your Skin You wiil be enthusiastic over a new French Process Cream for whitening and beautifying the skin.

Such Flavor as this comes only in real Quaker THE price you pay for substitutes is the same as for the genuine Quaker Oats. The difference is in the flavor. And flavor, above all things, is important in oats. That rich and toasty Quaker flavor is the result of some 50 years nulling experience. Once you taste it, you are spoiled for ordinary oats. That is why millions demand the Quaker brand—why you should accept no other. Quaker milling, too, retain* much of the "bulk" of oats. And that makes laxatives less often needed.

The American consumers generally demand cuts of pork obtained from hogs ranging from 190 to 225 pounds in weight, that is of fairly good lenght and smooth and firs throughout without excessive fat. There are condition' however, when it pays some farmers to feed thefr hogs to a heavier weight than 200 to 225 pounds. This situation is true at the present time because of th< cheapness of corn and the relatively high price of hogs. When feed prices are high or when feed priceand hog prices are about at a balance It usually does not pay to feed hogs to very heavy weights.
