NG? MATE BT ROSITA FORBES

CHAPTER Xll—Continued All this was poured out to Rosemary as she approached the village, but her Interest was centered on one figure. “Is there news of the Kaid?” she • asked. The ululations of the women beat against her consciousness, reminding her of her wedding night. She thought of the absurdly wirge pajamas, and smiled. Zarifa ran out to kiss her hands, even her boots, but her mispress was too absorbed to notice her. "It is the end of the war." said Menebbhe. "The French will make IM aee. as they have always wanted to do.” Rosetpary made suitable reply, but all she wanted was to be alone, to be al.le. at last, to think. Night crept round them before the last visitor left and while Zarifa was still fussing among the coffee cups. “Bisimillah. you must be tired, you —poor one! Have you slept at all?” ' Site would have multiplied her services in the hope of satisfying curiosity but Rosemary sent her away. She must bo alone. She must think. But. Instead, she slept for thirteen tiMf-fUnd woke to a village still clamor. « with victory. Ti ; sultan had left for Ait el Ka mar . and the Kaid would join him there. No. they would go straight to Ajdir. which was being evacuated. Rumor after rumor swept through Telehdi. with contradiction hard on their path For forty-eight hours Rosemary heard tales which became more and more incredible as the village receded from its position of authority. Even Menebbhe, had departed with the last of the ministers. The girl felt she was forgotten, but a certain fatalism possessed her. Westwyn had promised to join her at Telehdi. and she miisti wait for him. So. with a patience surprising, even herself, she wandered from roof to gate, always expectant, but never, curiously enough, discouraged. Time had ceased to mean anything at all. Westwyn arrived at last to an almost empty village. He came at the hour when every housewife was occupied with the evening meal; so, riding quickly, he passed Muusbticed. Pete, who had disobeyed ail orders and followed the flood course to see a bit of the fun. parted from him at the door.' “It was a great show,” said Westwyn. “The Riffs came up to scratch, all right.” “Um,’’ grunted Pete. “Your stunt. I wonder how long they’ll keep that in their heads?” On impulse the men shook hands. ‘ “We’H pull off others," promised Westwyn. "but I think it’s game and set here!” He found Rosemary in the long, dimly lit room, where he had once made love to her. and he stopped, reluctant. on the threshold. The girl was on her feet in an instant. “I thought you would never come!” “I came as soon as I could. I oughtn’t to be here now. My place is at Ait el Kamara.” “You mustn’t go there —not yet.” “Not till I’ve thanked you." Westwyn’s eyes took in every detail of the girl’s appearance. Her pallor Was transparent, as if lit by a flame behind. ‘‘What can I say ?” he stumbled over his words. ‘‘l was never much good at thanks and you saved my life. Rosemary, it was grand! How you could stick such a ride, I can’t imagine!” He had both her htinfts and was kissing them. "All my life I’ll remember it. Do you realize what you’ve done?" Obviously he was try-. Ing to express an appreciation which deprived him pf speech, but the girl, listening eagerly, found no more than gratitude in his tones. "It’s all nonsense,* she broke in. “I did nothing ?but follow Heinz; and even if I had saved your life, what about your duel with Martengo? I owed you something, didn’t I?" She tried to keep her Voice light. She mustn’t let things get out of Ijer control. This time she would make no mistake. « “Ypu certainly pay . yotfi- debts in full.” said the man. "but- I think there’s a Kit over this time.” His eyes held hers, and she n)et them bravely. “You gave me this Riftian victory, the thing I’vo/put three years’ work info. Martengo might have dished it. In afay case, he’d have prevented .me .-seeing it." He smiled down at her. ?All my life I’ll want to repay you.”,’ “You can do it now.” said Rosemary. She remembered that frantic climb up the cliff and her prayer for the second chance. denSpd to so many. She’d got ft now. bug she found it . needed courage to takfr it. “What can I do T’frisked Westwyn. “The half <>f my lingdom and the whole of myself a refat your service.” But he said it light#, swinging away from her and geatiyg himself on the arm of a chatita **whew! We made good time comilg up here." , Rosemary’s Bieart was beating som; where in iier throat. She felt cel I. and her Angers clenched stiffly on the with its motto: "V.T.r.t West Wjynne won. let West Wynne bolde.” / Had she wdn anything yet? Could she hold it? With a great/effort she spoke. "Do you rcmembe/ that night—lt seems so bug r.g«h—Mrhen yon kissed me and I was a fool"-‘-words would not come. /* . •

She searched for the direct cod phrases she had planned. “My dear, don’t worry about that. So much has happened since," said Westwyn gently, bur his eyes were narrowed and alert. "So much for you. but not for me. War doesn’t mean an awful lot to wtmien. you know.” The girl said it rather charmingly, with the ghost of a smile. “It’s love which matters to us.” “I offered you love and you turned .it down.” retorted Westwyn. immobile: but Rosemary felt that he held her and that he would never let her go again. “Because I wanted it so much! I was afraid of it for that reason. I suppose every -worn an Is afraid tat the last moment.” She waited, gazing helplessly at Westwyn. conscious that he was smiling at her. of the warmth and strength behind that smile, and of the faintest tinge of mockery “You brute!" she said, "did you really mean it? Must I ask you to love me? I do. I do!” Swift laughter' spurted between them, and the next momeht she was in his arms. “Beloved.” he began, and stopped to kiss her eyelids anti the faint mark on her temple. “I always thought I was a pretty poor hand at proposing, but you’re worse!" “How could you make me do it?” “1 wanted to see if you’d have the pluck!’’ Remorsefully he picked up her left hand and kissed it. as he held her close against his shoulder. “It was rather rotten of me. but ril have all the years to make up to yon for ft! We’ll get out of this as quickly as possible, and then”—he looked at her with boyish excitement—- “ And then?" “Well, for one thing. Hl never let you out of my sight again,” Pete, having knocked three times at the door to announce a superlatively messenger from Abd-el-Krim. glanced cautiously round it. “I thought so.” he muttered. "The best men get caught by it.” And he went gloomily across the yard to announce that the Kaid was very busy. “A matter of importance." he added. “I guess he’ll be some time." [THE END ] Dominated Athens by Virtue of Her intellect The pulchritude of Aspasia is.a matter of dispute among historians, but those who claim that she was a ravishing beauty, and those who set forth the opposite—that she was a severely plain woman—agree that she was the vqlce back of the silver tongue of Pericles and the fountain of much of the wisdom of Socrates. According to Plutarch she was a splendid conversationalist and by her intellect she virtually ruled the men of Athens. Aspersions of the bitterest degree were thrown upon her character by some poets of her time, especially those envious ones who desired to injure Pericles, but most Athenhins believed in her purity and certainly in her wisdom regardless of her actions. Husbands and their wives came to her for counsel and she, sitting as a court of justice, smoothed out the rough places fnr ‘them. Her decrees were accepted without question, even though she. instead of encouraging a separation, counseled them to make the most of a bad bargain and do the best they could. Because of this attitude it would be one of the most interesting revelations history could make if it told how she reconciled Pericles to divorcing his wife to .becoihe her own mate.—Exchange. Getting Things Straight The sentence: “All men are bora free and equal” is a quotation from the constitution of Massachusetts which was framed in. 1779. The complete sentence stays: “AH men are born free and eqpal. and have certain natural. essential, and unalienable rights.” Many people erroneously suppose the phrase “born free and equal” occurs in the Declaration of Independence. That document says “all men are created equal.’i I —Exchange. Historic Quai D’Orsay Qual D’Orsay is the quay or whtarl on the south bank of the River Seine tn Paris.

Mystery Surrounds Homer Nothing definite is known concern ing Homer, the great epic poet of anciegt Greece. He was probably born near Smyrna in Asia Minor, but the date of his birth, as given by various authorities, varies from 1100 B. Cl to 700 B. C.

Speaking of heads if you are wanting something new in the way of a choice boutonniere, you will find it in dainty little bouquets made of tiny colorful beads strung on fine wire, then worked into petals and tendrils and leaves. Very lovely beadwork enhances the distinguished little satin hat shown at the top of tins group to the left, and as to the shape itself, one cannot but be impressed with its novelty and charm. The hat with the wee brim cleverly suggests a helmet at the sides with-, out detracting from a becoming ci >chej contour.

DWLTRy ieitoL FEED REQUIRED FOR CHICKENS From time tn time we receive inquiries a. king how much feed is required for producing chickens, says the lowa Homestead. These people appreciate that the feed cost is one of the Important considerations in raising poultry. Too often {Hmple believe that it is the whole cost, for som“ do not make allowance for other c*»st.'». such as mortality, depreciation on buildings.Jabor. etc. The Connecticut experiment station determined the amount of feed which was required to grow White Leghorn and Rhode Island Red chicks till they were 24 weeks of age. A. that age Leghorns had consumed 22.13 pounds per bird and rhe Red 25.77 pounds. The Leghorns weighed 3.28 pounds and the Reds 4.3 pounds per bird. The Indiana station reports that it took approximately. 30 pounds of feed to raise White Roek pullets to. 2.8 weeks of age. From two re ports it would seem likely that aver age amounts ot feed needed to reach maturity would he approximately 25 pounds for Leghorns and from 3U to 35 pounds for the heavy breeds. Some figures are also available on the amount of feed that will be con sumed by hens j tl a year The smaller breeds require less than the larger breeds and hens that do not lay heavily will consume less than those that are heavy layers Heavy laying Leg b.orrts will consume approximately 75 ptaunds of feed yearly per hen while the heavier breeds will need about 85 pounds. * Skim Milk Recognized Feed for All Poultry Skim milk is a recognized feed for poultry from tire baby chirk on up to the laying pullet, and as a, supplement to eithe: hom;‘-grt>wrt feeds or the ‘commercial product, it is recommend ed by successful poultrymen and spe eialists the world over. Those engaged in she p< ultry business must necessarily have high pnr duvtion. Upless they have an abundance and a variety of feeds and know how properly to mix them, the commercial feed must be used. This is also the ease with every farmer who seeks high pnaluction (’ommercial poultry feeds, in most cases, are the result of scientific research Their efficiency has been dem onstrirted so ma times that there is no room for argument. ]»ut no farmer will make a mistake if he seeks to lower the cost of production by producing hrs own grains am! by utilizing all the skim milk available. Pr eventing Egg Losses Is Not Difficult Task The season is near at hand for con verting feed crops into eggs. No one wants to put l:ilH»r into the prodnttton of feeds and then lose their value. It is estimated that about 17 per cent of the eggs shipped tu wholesale mar kets have no commercial value be ettuse cf ti.err being dirty,, broken, or’ having chick development, or being shrunken, rotten or moldy The following conditions will almost entirely eliminate losses from these, sources: Eggs for market should weigh from one and one-half to two pounds per dozen; Ire uniform in size; he free f.-om dirt, but not washed: be strong shelled, fre-h and infertile They should be laid in clean nests, gathered often never taken from an ineubatc.r nor from stolen nests; they should be kept in a cool, dry place until delivered at the market. No Difficulty Is Met in Picking Out Layers No ditfieutty should be met in picking out the best-laying or rhe poorestlaying hens in rhe farm tha-k With, some birds, however, the distinguish ing marks are not so distinct and may sometimes he rather c«»ntrarlirtory. Thus one hen may l>e an early and yet show good body pth. An other bird may molt late and at the same time show poor quality Birds of this type are usually medium producers, and must decide whether they should be kept or sold.

Affects Egg Size It is possible in forcing feeding when the hen lays day after day for a week or two that the egg will gradually lose in size, depending on the hen and the kind of food eaten. If the hois has inherited capacity to lay many eggs, and she gets the right kind of foods she will lay normal-sized eggs even though laying heavily To lay many normal eggs rite hen must he fed plenty of prntefh foods, such as are found in the mash. especially during the winter. Avoid All Drafts There slmuld he no drafts in the poultry house in fall and winter The sides of the house should be as nearly ai“-tight as it is ftossible to make them. This applies als« r> the : „.t This is one reason why shingle roofs are not satisfactory rhe ai. sifts throngfi and considerable heat is al lowed- to escape Drafts are respon s-.ble for the birds contracting e«dds Cracks should bo completely closed so that comfort will be afforded to the laying flnck. Best Hens for Breeders Eggs usually are the chief source of income from the farm poultry bust ness and one of the quickest ways to build up the egg-laying capacity of t! e th is to breed front the best ot the late-laying hens rather than from the yout:g pullets which have not had a chance to show their worth as layers. Only those late-laying hens which have rhe proper size, type and other desirable characteristics should be the ones that are used in the breeding pen.

Famous for Ability to Design Furn : ture Important as an Influence on furniture forms of Eighteenth Century America was the work of the four Adam brothers of England, chiefly the work of Robert Adam, whose influence on the furniture of England from 17G0 to 1780 was marked. He was a man of means, a traveler, lie was not a cabinet maker. He never made a piece of furniture in his life, though ft is on his furniture that his. fame rests. When he designed a house he also designed the furniture to go in it. even going so far as to mark chalk spots on the floors to show where each piece of furn. ture was to stand. His designs were pains taking, exquisite in the spirit of an tiqufty says Sarah Lockwood, authoi of “Antiques.” He drew his inspiration directly from ancient Pompeii, uninfluem ed by his trip through France.
