Lee hurried it on, anxious to have it safely over before Ames came back from Norway. He was not entirely sure that Antes Would tl»»t rOCogiiize him. As a matter of fact. Antes was in no burry to get back. When he heard from Lucy, telling of'her engagement to Lee, he made business an excuse for staying away till the first ng. ci of the news had subsided. She had written as tenderly as she could. During her whirlwind engagement . Lucy learned many things about the man she loved. And he certainly managed to make that three weeks a time of dreams! His wooing was a quick, determined affair that swept all before It; impatient enough to have been the wooing of an ardent love, instead of. as it was. a wooing of .■■■revenge.''. And. as he had told himself, Lucy made It easy. She adored him for his difference from other men; for his splendid size and strength; for his curious, brooding silence; and the sudden tempests of emotion, that made him catch her close in an embrace that had something almost desj»erate in It. as If he were afraid that he might, after all. lose her. She teased him about this once, and he looked at her startled, and after a moment, said In an odd way : "Well, it's true; I am afraid that something will steal you from me and destroy a!L . . He drew a breath. Then finished: "All my hopes." She laughed at him tenderly, for his fears, and, because she did not remotely understand the reason of them, loved him all the more for them. If there were moments—moments, perhaps, when she snuggled into his arms, confiding and content; or when she said some • little, specially fond thing; or when, with the slightest imaginable breaking through of her rather shy reserve, her lips would cling a touch Imore closely than usual when he took? his good-night kiss—if at these moments the voice of conscience told him that It was a dastardly thing he was doing, he turned a deaf ear to It and refnsed to listen. Didn’t he owe them everything In the nature of revenge, that he could possibly pay? Were they to be allowed to rob him of those three years, and get off scot-free? Their wedding was a quiet one; It

could scarcely be anything else. In the time. A few relatives and intimate friends were at the church; and. afterward. there was a small gathering at Sir John's house. Lucy wasn’t surprised to get a note from Ames saying that he could not possibly be back In time to be present at her wedding. She had felt sure that he would not come, and was glad, too, that he decided against It. Jocelyn Upton was another who begged to be excused. The honeymoon was to be spent at Lees’ house in Hertfordshire, and during the afternoon they drove there, in his big car. As they left the town behind them, she put out a shy little hand, the one that bore the bright new ring, and he caught It quickly and held It tight. "Mrs. James Lee. . . . That’s your name now. Can you realize it?” he asked abruptly. . She shook her head. looking up at him. sweet-eyed and shy. ■ • "Not yet, Jim. But I’m trying to. And It sounds so wonderful, doesn't It?" "Wonderful.” he agreed, and then: “Lucy Gresham. . . . Mrs. James Lee," he added, saying the two names very slowly, as If the Juxtaposition of them were very sweet in his ears. With no remotest inkling of the truth, it was all too easy for her to ascribe the triumph In his voice, and the quick, close strength of his hand/ around hers, to love. . . , / Lee's thoughts going on int\> the future. pictured the moment when he should make his revelation to the father Who #0- h-lohml this girl-wife of .his; to Ames who was one of the men who would have given all he posses.se-J to be In his place. But that moment was not to be yet. There were other things to do first. . . . He looked down nt Lucy. She was his. His to hurt: his to use as a mea.ns of hurting others. Skies above! Life was beginning to give him something of his ow n back! They .thought to break him. and it was ih hIS power to break them. He had taken this lovely, happy child from them, and made her love him. This exultant mood mounted higher and higher in his heart, until he was Intoxicated with It. It gave him a curious, somber brilliance; like happiness. held in check ; -like the highest, spirits, kept on the curb. A far less blindly loving bride than Lucy, might have been deceived by the way he lifti’d her out of the car. when it drew up at the pillared porch of his country house, and ban up the shallow stone steps and in through the wideopen door, holding her high ami triumphantly in his strong' arms, “I've carried mv bride across the threshold "' he 'whispered,- an odd excitement lending a tremor to his voice. Us set her down, as the housekeeper. Mr*. Jebb, a stout, motherly woman, came bustling Into the wide hall. Lucy found, herself a moment or two later, following a quiet, efficient maid tip to her room. Turned tmek. nt the top of the first flight of stairs, she saw Lee standing in the hall looking ui> at her, his eyes dark and burning. W hen she Joined him again, he took her out into the lovely grounds, and showed her the best points of his little estate. The mood of exulting triumph lia<! made Lee more radiantly liiglv spirited than Lucy had ever seen him. She. amu-ed at his manner; the niOrosojp.’-s was gone; he talked and laugi»e<X; introduced her, with a lot of extiberai-t nonsense, to the horses and die dogs'; put an arm around bet ®nd Leld her so chwe beside him. as they ! through the little sun-dappled w<mhl tlatt she had to protest, laughingly ; nt which he stopped, swung her round so that she faced him and said: “Aren't you mine':" ■ ■ • She looked up' nodding her shining gold head.; "But even If I am, I must be allowed to breathe'.’’ she said, laughing Still. He toughed with her then, though h.s dark eyes burned strangely Intense, down into hers, and thereat: er. had-held her more gently. Al) through dinner this mo»d held. They had coffm« on the veranda outside the drawing r,»om window, and afterward went down into the shadowy gardeu. Lucy was silent, now. but Lee’s high spirited mood still swept him along before it, until he saw the yellow light shining through the drawing njom windows go out suddenly. Then" ••It s getting late. Mrs. Jebb is putting out the lights. 1 suppose she thinks we have gone . . . up . . . already. . . “Yes," she answered, her voice very low and still. "I'll. , . . go in. now. Jltn. . . She moved away from him, suddenly shy, and starttsj for the /loot, but his big hand caught her back, and with his arm around her, closely, he made her go into the house with him. In the lighted hall he released her. tstried swiftly, a sudden odd laug-h breaking from him. shut the door, shot the big bolts top and bottom, then faced her again. ... And with the closing of that door the Laugh died, abruptly, on his lips; the gleam faded from his eyes and he looked at her with a strange expression almost of bewilderment. Whether there was some symbol In the closing of that big door that struck through to him, or whether it was the sight of her so small and slight, standing there in the big. square hall, he could not have told. But something happened to make him feel suddenly like a monster who has trapped a tiny, innocent, and confiding thing, and in that single second of time, his high exultation came crashing down and lay In ruins round his feet. He fought the feeling; fought It fiercely. “Steady. ... Steady," he warned himself. “This Is nonsense; idiotic weakness. . , . You owe her. and all her kind, every evR It Is in your power to bring them. , . . You've got her; she’s given herself to you freely. . . . Then take her, you fool . . . take her. ..." But he stood back against the door, unmoving. She raised her eyes to his. eyes that seemed very tenderly, very shyly, but entirely confidently, to implore the mercy not of the hate which she knew nothing of, but of the love she thought was in his heart. “I’ll go up . . «Le said, her voice

almost soundless. Still, he said nothing, and after a second's hesitation, she turned and ran upstairs. He stood looking after her, still fighting down this new thing that had happened and was threatening to bring his plans to nothing. . . . But it was as merciless against him as he had been against that girl who had married him this morning. . . . What had he done to her? To that little, defenseless girl? Caught her; trapped her; taken her love and let her think that he gave his own. . ... Why should this come to him now? What he was doing was only Justice; he was doing as he had been done by. That was alt By Heaven! He wouldn’t let this new weakness conquer him. He strode suddenly toward the stairs, went up them two at a time, pushed open the door of Lucy’s room, closed it again and stood confronting her. ... She was standing by the dressing table looking down with dreamy -eyes at the neat array of ivory Things he had given her, and turned, at hearing him come into the room, startleil. but with the gossamer trail of the dreams still upon her. "Jim," she cried softly. "You're, afraid of me, aren’t you?" he said, abruptly, not moving from the door. She colored hotly, but answered at once: “No. Why, Jim, how could I be . . .? When you've been so . . . wonderful to me. . . . When 1 ... love you so . . . and know that you love me. ... I couldn't be afraid of you, dear. . . . Only . . 4 a wedding day is such a great, big ... wonderful day. . . .” She caught a breath. “Love is such a great, big, wonderful thing. . . . And I've been . . , rather a little girl ... until now. . . . Ah. Jim, can’t you realize and understand?" "Bather a little girl. . . ." He !b ,->I (he words, as if they had been wrung from him. and she saw that his hands were clenched so tight that he was shaking from head to foot. She went close to him then and looked up into his fa< e, sweet-eyed, lips tremulous ; put up her arms and drew down bis head, SO that his cheek lay against hers, and whispered: "Jim . . . xve made vows in church today. . . . But. darling, they were Just words. . . . My real vows were made so . . . deep in my heart . . . that there never equid be words to find them. . . . I'll truly try to be . . . everythtng you think me, . . .. Everything you want me to be. . . That was beyond endurance. The desecration of this young, untouched girl, tricked into marrying a man who did not love her. . . . Giving herself to him with such perfect love and trust. . . . He had ' meant to go through with this marriage; had meant to. keep back the moment of revelation until his plans were ready for it. . . . But in that moment he knew that lie couldn’t . . . He didn’t care. then, what happened, if only he could shut out the sight of those trusting eyes; those fragrant, girlish lips. . . . lie caught her wrists and pushed her suddenly from him. She fell back, looking up, now, with staytled eyes. - "Jim , . she said, , . . "What is it? What's happened. . . . Jim, what have 1 done . . . ?" "You haven't done anything. . . . It's ni\self . .. . myself. . . . Don’t look at me like that. Lucy. . . ." His voice was hard and broken. “Jim." The name came in a whisper. . . . "Don't you . . . don't you love me any more . . ?’’, There was a moment of deathly silence. Then he said, the words coming as if his lips were not perfectly flexible: “1 never have loved you. ... I think 1 hate your whole breed. . . CHAPTER IV Lucy Learns the Truth Even as he told her this he Cursed himself for telling it. He hadn’t meant to; be had meant to go slowly, working toward the completion of his revenge in his own way,, until the moment was ripe for his triumph. His marriage with John Gresham’s girl had been only the beginning of the vengeful schemes which seethed in his brain. He had laid his plans so carefully, had taken his first steps so Successfully. yet here he was. Jeopardizing them. perhaps even - wrecking them, ut the veryb|Start. And why? Why? All because he was fool enough to be oddly moved by her . , . because he was fool enough to be stirred by her jouth and littleness; her pure sweetness; because the closing of a d'M'r behind her had made him like an ogre-who has trapped a trusting little fairy. .... . All this and more, went -through and through his mind as he stood looking, sullen-eyed, down at Lucy, while she. horrified, incredulous, start’d up at him. ... 1 Then ■: “Jim." she said. In a low voice. "This isn't true, is it? You . . . you aren't really telling me this? 1 mean ... It’s some sort of . . . dream. Isn’t It?" The words quivered pitifully to silence. • It is true." he said doggedly. “That you don’t love me?" She was still unable to believe.' • That 1 don't love you." he replied. “And . . . that you never have?" "And that I never have." She looked at him a moment longer, then drew a deep breath and passed a shaking hand across her forehead. "You are telling me this seriously? Seriously. Jim?" she said in a tremulous whisper. • Even now, he believed. It would not be too late to retract the terribla truth, to blot it from her mind with protestations of love, and win her hack to faith in him. For she was still halfincredulous. Even now. it would not be too tote to save his plans from destruction. And everything in him that was set upon revenge, cried out to him to do this; to take her into his arms, tell her it had all been a stupid Joke; a test; anything so that he could kiss away the horror that moment had been to her. . . . But he didn't do It Couldh’t. Instead he answered: “Seriously; you’d better believe ft" (TO BE CONTtNCTMX)

WINTER SUNSHINE GOOD FOR POULTRY Ultra-Violet Rays Needed by Flock. So much evidence has been accumulated about the value of winter sunshine in egg production that it cannot be ignored by poultry raisers who want to get profitable results. It has been shown that ultra-violet rays are a poxverful factor in increasing egg production, hatchability and fertility, as well as in maintaining healthful conditions. Ultra-violet rays promote bone and body growth, and building vitamin D. During the winter months, when poul- j try is confined, ordinary glass and i soiled cloth curtains bar them out and some means must be employed to make them You need good housing and good mana cement nwa results. Pub<tota bySmtch Jrepreeentatlve tion. University of Arkansas; Ohio experiment station and others have shown the effect of ultra-violet rays during the winter months. Records at egg-laying contests (notably the Vineland egg-laying contest) also give practical proof of the egg-producing value of ultra-violet rays. Poultry needs winter sunshine. Layers must get ultra-violet radiation or its equivalent. This Is also true of chicks. The wise poultry raiser will make sure his house is properly corn j structed this winter and next spring. ; —Ohio Farmer. j ' T ' Size of Eggs Can Be Influenced by Feeding Egg size is influenced by breeding and also by feeding. It is as natural for some hens to lay large eggs, as it is for some cows to give a heavy flow of milk. It Is Important to select eggsTf the desired size when saving for incubation, because the size of egg laid, to some extent. Is Inherited by the offspring. However, it is possible | to influence the size of eggs to a eon- I siderable extent through proper feeding and a proper supply of minerals necessary for egg -shell. A ration’of grain alone or even with milk will probably not give . best results so far as egg size is'Tpncerned. A balanced ration carrying not less i than 3 per cent of bone meal and pos- i sibly 1 or 2 per cent calcium ear- ! bonate in some form, like crushed limestone or calcite, is considered de- , sirable for best eggs. Han Now to Increase - I Production of Eggs Ohe of the Imperative needs of the. poultry industry is to Increase the consumption of eggs, said Reese Ricks of the International Baby Chick as- i soeiation, in addressing the American Institute of Co-operation at Manhat- ; tan. Kun. Other foods are giving eggs a battle for a place on the breakfast table, and according to Mr. Hicks, tins is what can be done about it. The first step toward increasing consumption is for producers to su;e ply high quality eggs. The second step Is in standardizing the product so that the. public will know what It Is buying. The third step is for cooperatives to Join hands with other agencies in the poultry industry to educate the public as to the .value of eggs.—Nebraska Farmer. Poultry Facts Oat hulls are not harmful to chicks if ground fine enough. • • • Among the incurable poultry diseases are chronic coccidiosis, tuberculosis. bacillary white diarrhea, fowl cholera, fowl typhoid and blackhead. Serious cases of chicken pox and roup might also be lnclude<L • • • The poultryman’s biggest asset right now Is the flock of new pullets . that are being developed for next winter's laying flock, and whatever he can do to protect that flock so these birds will continue to lay, worth real money to him. • • • Gulling a flock is one of the important things which is most commonly neglected. There is also a neglect to procure and keep pure-bred chick.' s. Vermin are commonly found in poul* I try houses. ■ .'••• • ■ Several poultry diseases are quite j similar In many external symptoms. One or two additional symptoms usually, to the experienced, determine the accuracy of the superficial diagno- , sis. post mortem.* prove the super- ' fleial diagnosis and therein lies experience. Either whole oats or hulled oats may be used in a grain ration that Is Jed to chickens. However, hulled jats makes a better feed because a large part of the fiber is removed and ! the blrfis will, therefore, get a bigger percentage of grain. • • • Keep records of tb< number of eggs received each day and how they are disposed of. An account book will tell where the money goes and where the money comes from and will enable one to make eccfcomies on the one side and increase income on the other. • e • Fifteen thousand barrels of water drunk every day by Illinois farm hens bear witness to the fact that they bax e long since passed out of the sideline class of farm production. Illinois has one-sixteenth of all the hens In the United States. • • • In shipping live birds to market, shrinkage can be cut to a minimum by providing scratch grain which has been soaked in water. This soaked grain should be fei >n cans which are securely fastened to a corner of the coop, preferably with stovepipe wire.

[)m>Y BEST TO DISPOSE OF “LEAKING” COW Percentage of Cures Shown to Be Small. Many high producing milk cows will be seen with the milk dripping or streaming from their udder for some time before the usual milking time. The owners of such cows will be desirous of learning how to prevent this loss of milk. Usually there is only one way to prevent that is generally satisfactory, and that Is to milk these cows often enough to prevent the distention of the udder which causes this leaking. By milking these cows three or four times a day, this loss usually Is prevented. Since many owners do not find it convenient to do this, it is • usually best to dispose of these animals. I Several different treatments have been advocated for this conditions, but none of them promise sufficient results t to warrant their being generally used. Under no condition should rubber bands .be placed around the teats nor should the teats be tied off with tape. Wfibre the leakers are not too bad, i occasionally the openings in the end of i the teat can be contracted slightly by painting with tincture <»f iodine or by making a saturated solution of alum, and Injecting it just inside the opening. Most owners find any of these treatments too troublesome to be practical. When the cow is a persistent leaker and leaks away a good quantity of her milk, it is usually best to dispose of her unless she is an exceptionally valuable cow for breeding purposes, as the percentages of recoveries are so very small that it hardly seems desirable to keep such cows in the herd unless they are exceptionally valuable. —Montreal Herald. Impossible to Find Any Profit in “Scrub” Cows When the prices of butterfat and feed are normal, ten cows producing an average of 100 pounds of fat pec annum will earn $135. Under the same conditions one cow producing 400, pounds of butterfat will earn $l3B. When you multiply the butterfat production of a cow four times, you niull tiply your income ten times and you ; cut your feed costs per pound of but- ! terfat in half. It is suggested that out of the more i than a million cows milked in Texas I there must be a very large number j that never make a profit for their ownI era. How much better it would be to sell six scrubs for butchering purposes and buy one good cow. When scrub cows are sold to other farmers for dairy purposes the indus- ; try has not been helped. Every nonprofltable cow should be disposed of, ' even at sacrifice in price, to the butch- | er or killed and canned for home eou- ! sumption. What we need in the Southwest is fewer and better cows. —Farm and Ranch. Kill Lice in Calves . The problem lice on eattl?. and especially calves, in the winter ’ dis- ■ fieult to control but by using certain well-known methods as recommended by J. B. Fitch, Kansas state college, i the insects can. be eradicated. "Probably the most efficient treatment- for dice in an application of a 2 per cent solution of a coal-tar dip to all parts of the •alf’S body. A second : treatment, a week or ten days later, will usually eliminate most of the trouble. This treatment should be applied only when calves are in a warm [dace and can be rubbed dry. During severe weather a mixture of equal i parts of kerosene and lard, .or a good ! commercial louse powder will usually control the lice. Through cleaning and disinfecting of the calf shed will i also help to control the lice." Curing “Sucking” Cow A cow that has formed the habit of sucking the other cows usually as difficult to break, A writer in Hoard's Dairyman states that he has had tills trouble with two animals In his herd and cured both of them by putting bibs in their mouth, securing them there with a small 'rope running over the head.’halter fashion, ami a piece of bailing wire for a throat latch. The ! : halter must not be tight enough that | the bit’ binds in the corners of the mouth, as this causes the mouth to get sore and they will refuse to graze ■>? eat. The directions are to use a common light snaffle bit. The bit Is left in the mouth for several weeks and ! when removed the habit is cured. At least, it was so in the case of this writer. DAIRY FACTS The composition, of milk is, with small variations, CT per cent water, 3.7 per cent fat. 3.5 per cent protein,' .-> per cent lactose, and 0.8 per cent ash. • • • ’ In spite of low prices for dairy products, the present trend in the number of milk cows in the country as a whole seems to be distinctly upward, according to the bureau of agricultural economies. • • • Raise heifer calves from only the very best cows. This is the time to improve the quality of the dairy herd. “Keep down the numbers but improve the quality" is a good motto to observe. • • • Walter A. Post, farmer near Naponee, Neb., has one cow that keeps him pretty busy milking. It Is Betty Mercedes Pledge Lyons, a purebred Holstein. In 3G5 days, Betty produced 2,T90 gallons of milk and 854.4 pounds of butterfat. This was a yearly average of 76 pounds a day.

Lesson for November 29 PAUL’S LETTER TO PHILEMON GOLDEN TEXT—There Is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. . ... LESSEN TEXT—Philemon. PRIMARY TOPIC—How to Treat & Servant. JUNIOR TOPIC —A Servant Becomes a Brother. ' ■■ INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —A Slave Made a Brother. , YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPlC—Christ Transforming Social Relationships, This letter is a private one. Phile-. mon was a member of the church at Colosse. Onesimus, his slave, wronged him, and fled to Rome. At Rome he came under Paul's influence and was converted. Paul sent Onesimus back to Philemon with this letter —one of the most tactful, tender, and beautiful letters ever written, and the first antislavery petition ever penned. L His Salutation (vv. 1-3). In salutation he refers to himself as a prisoner and links Philemon to 1 himself as a fellow laborer In the gospel, having as his special aim to touch Philemon s heart. He makes mention of Apphia, Philemon’s wife, and Archippus. the son, who had already enlisted as a fellow soldier. 11. Philemon's Refutation (vv. 4-7). Paul paid a fine tribute to Philemon’s character, reminding him that he never prayed without bearing him up before God, 1. His faith and love toward the i Lord and all saints (v. 5). It was Paul's hope and desire that Philemon's faith might bear fruit in Jesus Christ. With such an approach., the way was open to Philemon's heart. 2. LI is ministry to the Saints (v. 7). Philemon was most generous in his ministry to the poor saints. 111. Paul's Request (vv. 8-16). He requests Philemon -to receive back Onesimus, the runaway slave, as a brother in Christ. Note the incomparable delicacy and courtesy with which Paul approaches Philemon. 1. He beseeches instead of commands (vv. S-10). Though conscious of his right to enjoin, he pleads as the prisoner of Jesus Christ for love’s sake. . 2. He makes his plea on the grounds, of grace (vv. 11-14). He admits that Onesimus has been unprofitable, has, forfeited all claim upon Philemon, and that on grounds of Justice his plea might well be rejected and yet because Onesimus was begotten in his bonds (v. 10), was in a real sense a part of his own suffering nature (v. 12). he ventures to suggest that he should be accepted. Though Onesimu hitherto has been unprofitable to liis master, he Is now profitable to both Paul and Philemon. Paul woujd gladly retain him as a personal attendant but first seeks his friend's permission, 3. Paul desired that Onesimus be received back, not as a slave, but as a brother in Christ (vv. 15. lit). Here is the real fugitive -lave law. Paul never attacked slavery, but emphasized principles which destroyed it. Christianity changes the whole face of human society. The wise thing to do is to got men and women regenerated and thus transform society instead of seeking change by revolution. Social wrongs can permanently be remove<l by the creation of a brotherhood which can be realized only'by faith In Jesus Christ. . Faith in . Jesus Christ brings the individual into connection with the source of life. In Paul's request for Onesimus you can hear the pleadings Os. Christ for sinners. All men have gone astray and have become unprofitable. Though possessing no merit, he has made us profitable. We have been begotten In his bonds. Through his- passion, agony of heart, we shall be changed. We can see arid hear him now pleading our cause before God's throne for love's sake. IV. The Basis upon Which Onesij mus Is to Be Received (vv. 17-21). The debt of guilty Onesimus is to he put to the account of Paul, and the merit of Paul Fs to he put to the account of Onesimus.’ This is a tine illustration of the atonement of Christ. Whatever wrongs we have committed, debts incurred, all our shortcomings I are debited to him. Jesus Christ, on I behalf of all mankind, has said to God. I “Put that to my account. I have ' writen with my pierced hand. I will I repa.C" Onesimus was taken back, not as a runaway slave, but as a beloved brother in Christ. V. Paul Requests Lodging (vv. 25>He expected a speedy release from imprisonment and puqiosed to sojourn with Philemon. In all probability this was realized. What a welcome he must have received! Jesus Christ is. saying to everyone of his redeemed ones, “Prepare me a lodging." Door-Bell Evangelism The early church grew because they “went from house to house." We are seeking to do by purse what the early church did by person; to do by proxy the work of proximity. Door-bell evangelism is a thousand times better than church-bell evangelism.—Daniel IL Martin. Cause and Church Linked You have = a right to discount the claims of those who, while professing loyalty, are using their energies and talents In discrediting and tearing down existing church Institutions. The Lord's cause and the Lord’s church are inseparably linked together. Only One Soul "A man has two eyes; if he lose one, he can use the other. He has two hands; if he lose one, he can use the other. He has two feet; if he lose one, he can use the other. He has but one soul. If that is lost, what then?”—Christian Cynosure.
