CHAPTER Vlll—Continued —l7— Zarifa sat on the floor, regarding her mistress with her usual lidless stare, while she talked of the Kald. He was her main subject of conversation. first because all Interest in the Riff centered In his fabulous achievements. and secondly because it was quite obvious that the theme was populaf with her audience. “Your skin Is like milk.* she Interpolated. “Pull the silk down under your arm." With the grace of a cat she was on her feet. “Alee! You do not know how to twist that thing. Let It fall, so— ’’ She wound the shimmering sapphire stuff with a cunning which sheathed Rosemary’s slenderness and left bare one shoulder. ’ veiling the other In a cascade of silver bordered folds. “I shall never be able to walk In It" laughed her mistress, and took a few tentative steps, watching the beffect In the mirror. “Allah• You arc beautiful!" muttered Zartfa. awed by the contrast of pale hair and *kln against the blue. “You must have scent, and then you wfll be Irresistible." she added, and drew a flask from her belt to smear a preclow pungent drop of attar on Rosemar* t breast. “You are like Leila. <** wnom the madman sung." she continued, and hurst into the old, walling chhnt wherein a medieval Arab fells of the love his humility could not win Rosemary did not listen to the words, hut (he refrain quickened her excitement. She meant to break down Westwyn’s reserve, to force his secret from him. hut she would not fact* (he reason why she xyanted to know. What did the plans of Telehdl matter. hut she must win her point! Always. when they two were at Issue. Westwyn had nrevailed. Iler will had broken before his. It had t»een humiliating. but—tonight! She stretched out young, smooth arms—surely tonight he would give way. "Afterward?" Her mouth was very red. her pulses throbbed. “Afterward." who know, but first she must win her point! Ahmed apologized' for his failure to produce more than a dozen different dishes. Such a meal was beneath the Raid’s dignity, he explained, as he fussed with the arrangement of the camp table, but as the noble lady knew, food was getting scarce. Then Westwyn came In. and from the first moment he could hot take his eyes off the gold and blue and white that was a changed Rosemary. "Abd-el Krlin's mother sent me this " explained the girl, fingering the ecarf. Beneath that uncompromising gaze she was not quite so sure of victory. She talked quickly, sometimes brilliantly, while they sampled the mystery of Ahmed’s cooking. “I never know what’s at the bottom of these bowls." she said, fishing with a fork, but Westwyn would not respond “It has been growing on me. tn spite of my denseness, that you are. very lovely. Odd. wasn’t it. that I didn’t grasp tt when I first saw you down there by the caves?" His voice

A Mame burnt in them, so that they seemed white hot The girl had a suspicion of forces beyond her or any one else** power of control “My charms were well overlaid with dirt.- she remarked without looking up “No wonder yoa were so surprised that 1 would not let you go back to Fex" The war was being pushed Into her own country, and Rosemary rallied her forces. “You’ll probably be thankful to get rid of me in the end." Her bead went back, showing the long line oi her throat Westwyn knew the game. Many women tn many lands had dung him that gesture of Invitation. He had only to put out a hand to touch that smooth, sun-kissed throat, but he did not move. Ahmed came in and took away the tray, brought them coffee tn haadletees cups, and departed, shutting the floor with an air of finality.

"Do you want to go. now?” aaket Westwyn at last. Rosemary countered. “I thought you said the war was going to end very uuon?" She must know, first, th« thing he hid from her. “Tell roe what you meant?" Her eyes were shining; dear jewels, with life mirrored it them. There was a flush on het cheeks! She was at her loveliest, triumphant because of what she sow in Westwyn*® face, a little afraid because she was up against the man inevitable to her womanhood. Disregarding the coffee, she leaned on the table, cupping her chin In her hands. "Do you want to go?" repeated Westwyn. leaning back, his hands hidden tn his pockets. “No." said Rosemary, and the word was hoarse, as if it were dragged up from the depths. There was a jar as the man’s chair grated back. It seemed to rip the silence of the room. Then he was beside her on the couch. "Rosemary —darling." but the girl made a gesture to ward him off. “No. no. I want to know what Is happening. I must know —tell me." Westwyn laughed, bending over her as she retreated against the wall. “What'll you give me for my secret?" His voice was teasing. For a moment he looked a boy, and the tension between them eased. “Anything!’’ promised Rosemary, delighted. "But supposing I take what I want? After all. you are my wife." The girl’s breath was uneven. The instinct to know and the instinct of evasion were at war. She shook her head, fear and something greater than fear struggling in those depths she

“I Swsar I’ll Never Touch You Again Until You Ask Me To!" had all her life denied. Very gently Westwyn took her in his arms, but his deliberation made the action more Irresistibly. He turned her face up and kissed her Ups. “I love you." he said. “I believe I’ve loved you all the time.” For a moment Rosemary yielded, and her mouth was warm, under his. Then she realized he had won. Revolt flashed into her brain, but it was far deeper than she knew. In a last obscure struggle to keep untouched that bit of her which had been cool, assured inviolate, she dragged herself away. Westwyn relaxed his hold, but his hands were still on her arms. "It Is too late.” he said. “You asked for it. you wanted It" His certainty and the, mastery of his touch exasperated her. All her modernity was stripped from her. She was at bay. To gain time, to postpone the inevitable. she threw at him the first words that came into her head. It is doubtful if she even realized what they were, and they were directed as much against herself as him. “You are like every other man!" Wcstwyn’B face hardened, and his grip hurt her. “What do you mean?” There could be no half measures now. She had to choose between complete surrender and an irrevocable blunder, and she did not wait to think. "Martengo—" she began. and stopped, really frightened at last. Westvyyn was pale under his bronze. His face looked mldiy mottled. “De you mean that?" he asked, letting her go. “Take care what you say?" Rosemary hesitated. She longed to contradict herself, to explain an impulse which wsts inexplicable, to give in. but she was confused by the indignation blazing at her. She tried to string words into sense, but found them brittle and meaningless. Westwyn waited a moment and then, with an effort of Immense deliberation, he got up. “There is no need to look like that. You're not going to get burned!" The Irony rasped tn his voice. He strode to the door and dragged It open and the wind swlried in from the yard. "My God? I swear ril never touch you again till you ask me to!" (TO B® CONTINUUM Had Long Experience With Moving Pictaree A burly man sauntered into the offices of a film-producing company and managed to reach the managing director’s office without being accosted. He told the director that he wished to secure an engagement with the company. As the applicant looked a nu>st unlikely person for such a poet, the director asked If be had had any previous experience. "I get Saturday afternoons off." said the would-be player, “an’ I reckon I might as well pass the time actin’ for pictures." “But have you bad any experience In moving pictures?" asked the director. who was rather doubtful <*» the point.

PREVENTION OF STUNTED STOCK (Prepared by tbe United States Department •if Agriculture ) The prevention of stunted growth and death losses among young live stock makes stock raising a more profitable enterprise, says the United States Department of Agricultu’e. in leaflet No. 1-L. “Ways to Save Young Live Stock." The system worked out for saving the lives of young pigs is simple in practice. The farrowing pen Is th‘»r oughly cleaned and scrubbed to remove all eggs of the roundworm, one of the chief causes of death among young pigs The sow is then thoroughly cleaned up. a special effort he ing made to remove all eggs from the udder. Within ten days after farrowing the sow and pigs are removed to a held sown to forage crops and not pastured to swine since sown. The pigs are provided with a g»x»d supply ot water and shade and kept in this field for at least four months, after which time they are reasonably safe from severe or Injurious worm infestation Experiments with sheep have shown that rotation of pastures or of dis ferent kinds of stock on the same pasture Is an aid in the control ot stomach worms. La nibs are safer on fairly dry hillsides away from weth ers and all older sheep except the mothers, wherever possible, and the mothers should be treated for worms Calves are not only subject to para sites but also to tuberculosis, bar terial diseases of the digestive tract and other diseases. Eradication of disease atnong the mature stock an<‘ control of parasites, however, give an animal more vitality and greater re sistance to ailments that may arise A copy of rhe leaflet may be ob tained free ui»on application to rhe United States Department of Agriculture. Washington. D. C. Best Marketing Weight of Baby Beef Animal The average baby beef calf that has been well fed with the exi»ectatl<»n ot marketing It as baby beef should weigh from GWI to “all (rounds at nine months old. One can hardly expect such a calf at that age to sell as well however, as a finished baby beef anhaul. Such calves will hardly be large enough and usually not fat enough. The best baby beef comes from calves marketed at fourteen to eighteen months old. weighing 900 to 1.100 pounds. A considerable variety of feeds can be used in feeding baby beef calves A good grain ration may be composed of shelled corn, ground ear corn, or a mixture of shelled com or ground coin ”0 per cent and oats 3»» |>er cent, or barley could be used as the principal grain. In any case, about cent of a good protein sup(»lement feed such as linseed meal, cottonseed meal or gluten fetal slumld be adde«l to the grain ration. Alfalfa or clover hay is the best kind of hay to use. A little silage can be fed and the calves can be turned out on pasture as soon as the grass is suitable. Marketing Cattle When Only Moderately Fat Although the market usually pays a premium for very fat cattle, the feeder must remember that the co<t of grain increases during the latter part of the feeding period. A greater net profit is often secured from cattle marketed when they are moderately well finished rather than holding them in tiie feed lot long enough to put on the extra finish that results in a top market price. If aiarket quotations are satisfactory when the cattle reach good condition, it is safer to ship them than hold them another inoutb with the steadily increasing cost of grain. | Live Stock Notes An animal Hutt Is gaining in weight makes the best meat. • • • The fact Is that alfalfa hay should be provided for all farm live stock. • • • It is risky business not to vaccinate. You can’t hold your pigs indefinitely. • • • The wool crop will pay for the upkeep of the ewes, leaving the lamlis as clear profit. • • • Pigs cannot utilize enough pasture to supplement a full ration of corn. Some tankage or skim milk or other protein supplement is • • • Horses will rest better and their skin functions more freely if they are groomed every evening, especially while at heavy work. • • • Hog men who do not raise alfalfa fbr summer as well as for winter use are not living up to their opportunities. • • • Sheep can find good pasture In a stubble field after threshing. Rape sown with small grain in the spring furnishes the best pasture until the late hard freezes in the falL • • • The price of wool in the United States has declined to such an extent that it does not pay to raise sheep for the wool alone. • • • Sheep have an advantage over other meat-producing animals in that the ewes will produce a crop of wool as well as a crop of lambs. • • • One will get better results in fattening baby beef calves by feeding them dry feed entirely and simply givlng them the run of a small yen’ for exercise.
