Oliver, if you must go.' you must. Hut I'm sorry. Anyway, enjoy the meantime.” Mid Sir John. “Lucy Is Keen for you to see the ballrootn before the crowd arrives. She plannevi the decorations all herself, ind I th.nk ■ they're quite tolerate” His handsome old eyes twinkled round at Lu< j. In h>s eves she was the sweetest, and the n -t lovjutiful girl in the wh<de world She could do nothing wrong; he spoilt her so consistently, that it says ill that*r>eed be said ftsr her Innate soundness of nature that she w.is almost entirely unspoilt by it. He had married late In life, having reached fifty before meeting bis Ideal. He had idolized his wife, arid when she died, when Iwwy was only five, ms so fraptic wim grief that his friends all .-feared Io; -would not long survive her He pulled through, however, but was greatly changed: Something had been iinbckeT completely out of l’ife,\ for him. He could no longer give to the business of Gresham's the Interest he always had given. Year by year he had left it more and more in An>H hands, until five years ago, he hta 1 definitely retired from active Lucv. growing up in the living Image of her mother, absorbed most of hia interest in life. ( It had been an understood thing for years that some day Lucy wai going to marry Ames. Every ont looked upon lt*as settled. except for such details as precisely when and exactly wT-ere. Lucy had known Ames all her life? She bad been brought up so much with him that she looked upon him almost more “as a brother than as 1 cousin. And although she had always known that some day she was going to marry him, yet It was none the leas a surprise, and something of a shock, to her. when nearly three weeks ago. he had asked her to make the some day a definite day. He loved her tremendously, and. it seemed to him. that loving her was the chief reason of his existence: the thing he had been born for. He felt that he had waited lone-'-gtwr’i-'b. But Lucy had been curiously unready when be had asked her to name a definite day; she had not known what to say. and didn’t know, why she should be so unsure. . . ■ She could find no reason for being suddenly so flustered, when be asked her when she woul<* marry him. Perhaps It wrs just because. inMead o. asking would she marry him. he had asked when would she marry him. ... Or perhaps It bad been became he tad. by some unlucky chance, hit on the evening of that very day, when ahe tad uad that queer, fleeting adventure with the stormyeyed man who tad nearly run tar down with bls big blue car. 4. . It tad just seemed to her that to mt definitely: "Yea. I will marry you on such and net a day. . . .** was a terribly ta

revocable thing to say. . . . Only to form the words In her mind tad made her catch a quick breath, almost of fear. She explained It to herself that she did not want to marry anyone yet That site was utterly happy at home with her adored and adoring father; that life and youth were so lovely and so sweet, that she didn’t want to do anything to change the happy course they were running .... But Oliver had been Insistent and she suddenly that his love for s much bigger emotion than she had ever known. So, with an unaccountable feeling of being driven, she h#d compromised by promising to give him a definite answer on this evening of her nineteenth birthday. She had thought that she must surely have decided by then. . . . Rut she had awakened this morning, with all her doubts still upon her. That was why this evening was something so much more than a birthday party, to her ; and that was why it kept her in a quiver of restless 'excitement.' In the ballroom she began a lively chapter, simply because she was afraid of silence between them. “There are goinj, to be heaps, of ■people here tonight; some I don’t even know. .Mrs. Theodore Dale asked If she might bring a party; so did the Melvilles and lady Cordelia Upton; ata wants Io bring among other Perry St. Abb and the man he's secretary to. He's the latest thing in millionaires, you know. One James Lee Doesn’t It* sound lively!’’ Lucy rattled on. more for the sake of avoiding silence than anything. He cam< a step nearer and caught -her band in hls- • ' Lucy . . . you haven't forgotten, have you? Do you remember what you promised?” “Os course . , . of course I do. ... Andi ■ . Vj- will, Oliver. f ~ Only . . leave it .a little longer! , ." she answered hrea’tiiessly. "It’s such a. . . . Oik such a very big thing to decide” 'T\e loved you so tong. Lucy. Waited for „V<-i) s.« long. And Ive waited t Htlif ;d\. de.ir. . be, n.no woman in my heart but you. . ." You’ve got my lieart in these little hands of yours, and got it forever.” SFjp caught a breath- If -sceemd 1 awful that It should be hers to make turn happy or to make him suffer. Just with the. speaking <>f a vvord. l-'rom siieer pity dhe word that would make him happy was on the very tip of her tongue, rll ready to be spoken, when the Stand of her father's voice calling to her made her start away from him, jerking her hand out of his. There's dad. . . . He/ wants us . . ” ? she mid breathlessly. "1 suppose people are beginning to arrive . . . How awful of me to neglect •my dfitiea so”’ She lauglieo a little tremulously, and ran to the door, but he came after her, caught her hand and pullev) her round. "Refon* I go. Lucy. . . . Give me riiy answer before I have to go. . . . Hemember, won’t #ou?” he urged her. "of .course,' . Oh’ of course I’ll remember!’’ And she was on her way to the hall, her full skirts swinging round her, • • • • • • . • The big house seemed alive with an uncountable crowd of young people all bent on carrying the occasion through on one unbroken ripple of gaiety. But Ames scarcely knew bow to live the evening through eveh though his time was ail too short. Lucy was so much In demand. He watched her all the time; saw her glance at this man; smile u|»on that; laugh with another; and did not know that behind all her brilliant gaiety she was thinking, thinking; .trying to decide. And she ; had a feeling that the Jolly evening with all Its light and sound and gaiety, vvas~rushing her toward some difficult crisis, I . ■ It was during an Interval in the dancing that Ames saw her captured and cornered by three determined young men. who each put forth excellent reasons why he should have the next dance with her. "But I can't dance with all three." Lucy was Laughingly protesting, when a tall youth in a tight costume of green and white stripes, suddenly constituted himself master of revels, and from the cleared center of the ballr<>v& made this elegant prociamatb/jz Oyez! Know all ye by these presents—and all that sort of <J>*ffv old bunk. Boiled down, what 1 tiean is this; that if the girls who haven’t fixed up the next dance'll pop off and hide, we’lLgive 'em three minutes, and then come and find them. . . . How’s that for a brain < A chorus answered him. ”Eine!’\ “Get on with It!" “Scatter, you girls r And amid chatter and laughter, the girls scattered. Lucy with them. Most of luem dio not bother to make their hiding places very obscure, but Lucy left them, a.id turned toward the back of the house, pushed through a green baize d<s»f. into the main corridor on the other side of the staircase and slipped into the library. There was no one in the room. A single light, shaded in deep crimson, cast a somber glow over her lacy flounces, as she tip-toed acmes the room, climbed Into a deep window szat and pulled a heavy curtain tn front of her. She was glad of the peace and quiet this refuge gave her. . . . She wanted to think. . . . Must thinlt . . . Must decide. . . . The sounds of jollity came to her faintly. ... Five minutes had not gone by when she heard the door open, and a step sounded soft upon the carpeted floor. Her father, pertaps, she thought and she moved, very cautiously, along the window seat, to peep round the curtain. A hand appeared, and the curtain was flung aside Her startled eyes, quickly lifted, saw the dark, unsmiling face of the necklace-adventure man. And once again her eyes were caught and held by the look in those sullen, stormy eyes that met hers. “You!" she cried out. "Yes."'be answered. “And—you!" She laugb«d- ever 80 slightly; a Little tremulously. "I . . . Tm hiding,” she Mid, kiddlshly. a nervous quiver in tha words. r ”XeV ta said again, his roles very

deep against the distant sound of revelry from beyond the room. “And I’m finding you ” “I . . . didn't know you were in the game.” she said. “It’s obvious that I am, though, isn’t It?" he replied. “Yes ... 1 suppose It is. . . .” She scrambled off the seat and stood before him, looking little girl as she shook out her fleecy Bounces .... “But I’d no idea of seeing you here. ... Who ... who are you?” “Let’s introduce ourselves." he said. “My name is Lee. James Lee.” She looked up at him quickly. So this was Perry St. Ahb’s chief. . . The latest thing in millionaires. She held out a quick, girlish hand. •T’m so glad you were able to come. . . . I've heard so much of you from Lady Cordelia. ... I’m Lucy Gresham, yot know." - He took her hand in a rather mighty clasp that seemed to swallow it all up. and said slowly: “How d’you do. Lucy Gresham?" She laughed up at him, her haqd still in his. and: “How do you do—James Lee?” she answered merrily. But he didn’t share her merriment. , His queer dark eyes looked down at \ her. unlit by any '.east hint of amusement. until it made her quite nervous, and she twisted away from him. the bright color coming up into her face, r "Have you only just arrived?’ she ) went on. hurriedly. I "I ei tt-rel the ballroom withylaidy Cordblia and St, Abb, precisely/as the I young man in green stripes was proclaiming tlie rules of the game." he told her. “I can’t dance, but this next dance is obviously mine, if you will sit it out with me? I came in here to find you. .1 stood quite near you in the ballroom while the game was being arranged. How many dances are you going to give me?” She wasn’t quite prepared for that; she etjuivocated.’ | “But you say you-don’t dance?" She was destined to find but then that equivocation didn’t work with James Lee. He said; "Do you think you'll find It dull vvork, sitting oqt a dariee or two with me?” and his sullen gray eyes were challenging. She colored. “No." she said, slowly, but quite truthfudy. “No, 1 shouldn’t-think I’d find it dull. . . . Only . . . there are ... other men I must give some dances to . . . There's Mr. Greenstripes; I promised him. And a Romeo and a Nero; I promised them; and there’s . . . She caught a sudden. quick breath, and halted. “Yes?" he prompted. “Oh. just my cousin. Oliver Ames. He's going away tonight He has to leave at eleven; I must ... I mean . . . I want to dance with him. . . .” She broke off. conscious that she was rattling on nervously. Conscious, too, that 4 those queer eyes of his never left her face. “You must; or you want to? Which?” he asked abruptly. She looked up at him; looked away; all around. Things Were going faster than was quite comfortable. She equivocated again. “I promised to.” ' Tp her relief he—for the time at least—left it> at that. “Well." he said. !‘we are sitting out this one anyway." He pushed up a deep leathercovered chair for her. “Don’t you want to go and watch the dancing?" she asked. "Why should 1.?" he answered. And she had no g<>od reasons to offer. So they remained in the library. She, sitting in the deep chair; he. standing, leaning hack against the mantel, looking. most of. the time, down at her. j She was recovering now. from the surprise of finding that this guest of ; hers was that man who had shared that tiny adventure with her, and began to fee that ever since the day of | that adventure she had really been j waiting to meet him again. She hadn’t known it, but it seemed so to her now. Because, disconcerting as he was. there was a sort of feeling of utter rightness in being with him I again. He kept her guessing as no man ever had before; made her shy; half-indignant, sometimes; yet happy, in a ’hew and bewildering way that she didn’t in the least understand. He asked suddenly: “You say that 1/ady Cordelia has told you a lot about me. What exactly has she told you?” ' “ Tisn’t fair to ask that," she countered. | “’Tisn’t fair to say things behind a man’s back that you wouldn’t say to ' his face.” he retorted. “Oh. she said she liked you very much, and that Mr. St. Abb was very | keen on you. And that you came from Canada or Australia —she wasn’t sure wbicta-And. i. . Lucy broke off there. “Yes?” She raised fun-lit eyes to his; since he had asked, he should be told. "She said you werenT exactly wild or woolly, but still you weren’t really tame; and that you were very strong and silent and never enjoyed anything. ... She said she thought I’d like you immensely.” “And do you?” “What an odd conversation to have with anyone when you’ve only met him twice!" ahe laughed. "Time hasn’t anything to do with IL Do yo®?” She looked up at him. "Well, d’you know, I haven't thought I’ve been too busy being—interested—to think whether I like you or not.” "Are you Interested in Oliver Ames, too?” “WhatT The word came from her so startled that it was almost a cry. He repeated the question, and before she realized it she was answering breathlessly. (TO BE CONTIXVED.* Oldest Money Although various sovereign states have been bringing out coins for the past 2,000 years or so. no coinage ever has enjoyed the continuity given to coins issued by the popes. The first papal coins are 581(1 to have been struck during the reign of Pope Hadrian, about 791 A.

DAIRY PROVIDE NOW FOR GRAZING IN SPRING How Good Pasture May Be Saved From Ruin. Cows will easily ruin a good pasture if turned on it too early in the spring while the soil is soaked with moisture. Early spring grass lacks desirable nutritive qualities, and usually the barns are emptied of the be legume hay by early March, Therefore." says John A. Arey, dairy extension specialist at the Nor i Carolina state college, “the wise thing to do- is to make provision for a supply of early grazing next spring. When a Cow has passed the winter largely on dry feed, she craves appetizing, succulent feed such as may be got from a good temporary pasture. Such gracing la appetizing, is nutritious, ami is one of the most e< 'ileal fgeds that any dairyman can proBy providing temporary grazing for March and for as much of April as will be newled. the cows may be kept off the permanent pasture until the grass has made good growth and the soil is so dry that the sod will not be ruined by tratuplitig." .Mr. Arey finds that the supply of home gro.w>n roughage is .about exhausted on .Marcli 1, especially on thpse farms where only a few cows are kept for' cream production. Those cows are therefore trirt • 4 --n tlo pasture when the hay gives tat retard* less of the eonr’itioa , r th-' « '1 <>r the growth of the grn<s. s. T1 is usually results in damage to the pasture and little good to the cows. A good forage crop mixture to plant in the fall consists of one-half bushel of Abruzzi rye; one half bushel of beardless wheat: one bushel of Norton oats; one bushel of beardless barley. and ten pounds cf crimson clover or fifteen pounds of hairy vetch. This amount will pltint one acre. Cut Out Low Producer : No Place in Dairy Herd Dairymen could speed the recovery of their business by (-tilling poor producers from their herds, according to C. S. Rhode. University of Illinois. Wl.ile it is true that a large part of the loss of price for dairy products is due to lack of consumption, not overproduction, Rhode states there are more than enough cows to supply the normal demand. With butterfat at -Io cents a pound, the average cow in the state made above cost of feed in Ih’-'h, according to the college's records of dairy herd improvement ass(K-iations. With butterfat as low as 30 cents a pound this same cow would return but $2 a year above cost of feed. “Butterfat would have “to sell at ap proximately 63 cents a d>und for the average cow to make as much return above cost of feed as would lie made by cows producing 340 pounds of butterfat selling at 35 cents a pound. ’’The dairy situation in general as well as individual efficiency could be improved if more farmers took their cue from a DeKalb county dairyman. He culled out six of his low producers ami thereby increased his monthly herd average front 29," pounds of but terfat to 41.2 pounds, saved feed and increased his net returns. In addition he kept off the market some milk and cream which were produced at relatively high cost by inefficient cows.” Cleaning Galvanized Pails About the .most satisfactory way of cleaning is first to scrub it with u brusli and hot soft water in which some concentrated lye and kerosene have been dissolved. Then brush it with strong vinegar, lemon juice, or a wtak ’solution of hydrochloric acid, about two tablespoonfuls oT commercial hydrochloric (also called muriatic) acid to a teacupful of water. Brushing with denatured alcohol also seems to help a good deal. Finally- scrub thoroughly with a good cleaning pow der and steel wool, and 1 believe you will find it pretty well shined up.— Michigan Farmer. Keep Testing The man who only tests his herd for one year has little to show wheth er It has paid him or not. The only way that he can really get a benefit from keeping records on his herd is through studying these records from year to year and with their help build up a profitable herd and profitable management methods. The Chlckamw County (Iowa) Herd Improvement association offers a splendid example in one member whose herd averaged $75 above feed costs in 1928 and increased to $179 in 1930 in spite of declining butterfat prices.—Successful Farming. Sold 350-Pound Cows Dairy cows have to be good producers in times of cheap butterfat to make a profit V’. J. Winnings. Moultrie county. Dlinois, has a purebred herd of Jerseys. All those he has now produce at least 400 pounds fat per year. He loaded two pu rehnf d s lnl ° the truck and took them to market because they had produced only 350 pounds fat In a year. Winnings says his cows must make the 400-po un<l lev * el if they expect to board at his farm. —Exchange. First Yearly Milk Record The first known yearly milk production record for any cow in any country is that of Dowager, a mature Holstein, owned by Gerrit S. Miller of I’eterboro, N. Y. In 365 days she produced 12,681% pounds of milk, or approximately 34% pounds daily. This record, which was completed in 1871, is two and three-quarter times as much as the present average for the United States and Is about one-third of the most pfoduction figures now on record.

•*^IMPR OV ED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY I chool Lesson (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER. D. D.. Member of Faculty. Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (®. 1931. Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for November 8 PAUL IN EPHESUS GOLDEN TEXT—And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. LESSON TEXT—Acts 19:1-41. PRIMARY TOPIC—PauI in the City of Ephesus. JUNIOR TOPIC—PauI in the Key City of Asia. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR.TOPIC —A Bonfire of Bad Books. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Gospel Facing Erior. I. John’s Disciples Become Christians (vy. 1-7). These twelve disciples had only been taught the baptism of repentaiice as preparation for. the Kingdom. Paul taught them to believe on Christ; that is, to receive Christ as the one wnq on the cross provided redemption for them through the shedding of his blood. Wheh they believed and received Christ as their Savior," they were baptized in the name of the l ord Jesus, and Paul laid hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit. IJ. Paul Preaching in Ephesus (vv. 8-10). 1. In the Jewish synagogue (y. S). Though the Jews were Paul’s enemies, lie inflexibly followed ffis rule to go first to them with the gospel. His preaching was characterized a. By boldness (v. S). b. By reason (v. 8). c. By persuasion (v. 8). d. By speaking concerning the Kingdom of God. (v. st. He did'not discourse on philosophy, or the latest in literature, but upon the message of salvation through Christ. 2. In the schoolhouse' of Tyrannus (vv. 9. TO). The Jews, being enemiesof the gospel, were only hardened by Paul's preaching, and spake openly against this way of salvation in Christ. Paul separated the disciples from them and resorted to the schoolhouse of Tyrannus. 111. God Working Miracles by Paul (vv. 11-16). Ephesus was noted for its wonder workers. That Paul’s ministry might be successful here, God in an extraordinary way put his' seal upon the work. Handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched Paul's body healed the sick and cast out evil spirits. Seeing 'the marvelous power operating through Paul, certain Jews who went about the country practicing magical arts undertook to use the name of Jesus in their incantations. Knowing that, their connection xvith Christ was not real, the uSe of his name by them only enraged the evil spirits who sprang upon and overcarife them. IV. A Glorious Awakening (vv. 17-41). 1) Fear fell upon all (v. 17). News of the casting out of these evil spirits created impressions favorable to Christianity. 2. It brought to the front those who professed faith in Christ while not living right lives (y. IS). 3. Many gave up the practice of the black arts (v. 19). Black arts are forms of jugglery by the use of charms and magical words. No one can have fellowship with God and practice such arts. They proved the genuineness of their Christian profession by publicly burning their books, valued at $12,500. 4. Uproar of the silversmith at Ephesus (vv. 23-41). a The occasion (vv. 23. 24). The power of the gospel was destroying the Infamous business of Demetrius and his fellows. Their.primary interest was its tinam ial efl'e- t upon the principal business of tlie city. b. The method (vv. 25-29). Demetrius, a .leading business man, called a meeting and stated that much peo--pl • had been turned from idolatry ami th? the market for their wares was materially weakened. He appealed to his fellows (1) On the ground of business fv. 27). The world is willing to tolerate any kind of religion or moral Awakening so long as It does not interfere with its business or way of living. (2) On the ground of religious prejudice. He said that the temple of the great Goddess Diana would be despised (v. 27). He became religious when he saw that his business was being damaged. His . speech gained his end. The crowd in a rage cried. “Great is Diana of the Ephesians.' The mob was quieted by the tact, good judgment, and counsel of the town clerk (vv. 3T-41). x Guidance God guides by his word, he also guides by circumstances, and by the spirit; there is no royal road, to guidance; God's clarifier in guidance is waiting; sometimes it is extraordinary; guides a step at a time; it is maybe by stops as well as by steps; it Is cumulative; beware of short cuts in guidance; and of flesh and blood guidance; guidance is sure for those who wait and pray. Better Than Precept What better thing can come to us . thiih to be able to give to others the best that lies within ourselves, that by our living we may show them the way in which to live, and by so doing build up that only which is truest and best in their natures, and so, unconsciously, proving the truth of that old adage, that “Teaching by example Is better than by precept.”—Christian Cynosure. The Need of Prayer One’s study should be vitalized by personal contact with God. Prayer for missions that stops with a petition that the Lord’s work will be done somehow and by some one is not worth much. That which makes God more real to us will help us to appre ciate how much be mayjnean to oth ers and to desire more earnestly that they stall know him.

Mffl GOOD IDEA TO CUT OUT POORER HENS Why Keep Non-Producers in the Flock? « ft Is economical management to go over the flock frequently for the purpose of removing the hens which show signs of having ceased production. The feed consumed might be put to more profitable use if fed to the young stock in order that the birds going on the market may be well finished and the pullets properly developed and in the best of shape to produce heavily during the winter months, when newlaid eggs command a profitable price. When culling, each hen must be examined carefully. The head furnishes valuable indications tn picking the high layers. The long, crow-headed individual, or the bird with the flesh of the face in wrinkles and the eyebrows overhanging, is seldom a good producer. The high producer has a comb which is bright red. with a soft waxy texture, as opposed to a dull, dried, and withered appearance. The face is cleancut rather than beefy; the eye is bright and prominent- rather than dull and small’ The abdomen of the producer is soft and pliable. The keel is forced down.away from the pelvic arch, and the i pelvic bones, sometimes called, the "lay’’ bones, are thin and wide apart. A shrunken abdomen with pelvic bones covered with fat, indicates slow production. or hone at all. A laying fowl uses up the surplus fat in the hoily, and. in the base of the birds of the yellow-skinned varieties, the rate at which the fat is used can be determined by the fading of the yellow from the vent, eye ring, ear lobes, beak and shanks, in the order named. At this season, these parts on the heavy producer are, usually bleached white. When a bird.ceases production, the yellow pigment returns rapidly in tjbe same , order as it left. The best layers generally molt in October or November, when they shed their feathers much more rapidly and i grow them in more quickly than the | early molteir. What Early Hatching Means Early hatching means chicks less troubled by lice and disease. Early hatching means a longer growing season. Early hatching means better grown chicks. Early hatching means higher prices for the surplus cockerels marketed as broilers. Early hatching means well matured pullets .which begin to lay In the fall. Early hatching means eggs from the pullets while the hens> are molting. Early hatching means eggs in the fall and winter when prices are highest. Early hatching means early maturing pullets that becoffie broody earlier the following spring. Early hatching means greater profit. Preservation of Eggs Put down s >tne eggs in water glassi. to be used when egg prices are higlj. (Only about two-thirds as many baby chicks were raised as last year.) The procedure in putting down eggs is simple. First candle all eggs and remove all spots and cracks. Then place them In a crock. Next make up a solution consisting of one part of commercial water glass and nine parts of cooled boiled water. Pour this solution oyer the eggs so that there Is. about- two or three inches of solution over the top Inverse eggs. Place crock lij a cool place. To Help Baby Chicks One of the “ten commandments" ’ of chick raising is to “clean and disj infect the brooder house before moving it to clean ground.” First, clean j with hoe, shovel and broom. Second, wash with boiling lye water. Third. : paint with carboleninm or other strong ! disinfectants to prevent mite out- ! breaks. Fourth, move the house to clean ground and brood the chicks on alfalfa, or sweet clover pasture if : possible. ?How He Gets Winter Eggs The best way to get a high producing flock of hens is to use as breeders only hens that show a capacity for continued production. R. T. Tarlton. Ellis county, Texas, says. For several years. Mr. Tarlton says he has used for breeders only hens that continued In 70 per cent production up to September 1. He has been able to get from these hens pullets which average 70 per cent production in-the winter months when egg prices are highest.—Capper’s Farmer. Intensive Chicken Raising A great flock of chickens may be raised on a very small piece of ground by keeping the birds confined in coops. This plan has been successfully followed by several western chicken raisers. The birds are transferred from one coop to another as they grow and demand more room, but no chance for them to waste energy In exercise: they mature more rapidly and are ready for the market several weeks in advance of birds that are allowed to run.—Washington Star. 1 Give Chicks Feed Space Now that the chicks are here and we want to see that they grow and get a fair It is Important that there be ./enough hopper room to allow all chicks space to feed at all times. Not one brooder house in 50 has enough hopper space to give the chicks the right kind of a start and to give them a chance to grow satisfactorily. Seven feet of hopper space is needed for each hundred chicks. Less than this will cause slow growth and mortality.—Exchange.
