She knew that, but she plunged on because she couldn't help it, be-causebecause Bethel seemed to will her to, and and because she really did love David She was say-ing it aloud, stupidly, shamelessly telling them. "I love David. He said he would come for me, or send for me. I will write to David that I am going out to him, Bethel." "Jack Shannon give David the money to go to America," Jaggers had spoken up cautiously. "Maybe he knew Lark was promised" "At thirteen?" Bethel had snapped. "I'll tell you what I think, Husband. She wasn't promised then. She's not promised now.

"I'm too heavy for a blood horse to carry," he'd said in late years. "I'U use the pony cart. You ride Madoc, Lark." Bethel North, nearest neighbor to the Shannons, had remonstrated with point and vigor. "Your Lark is a Pretty sight, I must say! Wild hair flying and legs astride that red beast! What kind of talk does she make among the rough men and boys? David can tell you. He has a softness for her. He'd never be one to stand a tongue against her. He's been in more fights than one over her good name! How do you like that?" Jack Shannon had let out a oath. Queer man for a par-O-people said, human as any, yet with the love of God so sure in him you could see it shining out of his eyes. He's apologized to Bethel but had let her and the rest of the vil-lage know that Lark's life was her "I'll take the money from the sale," Lark had said wildly.

It would be well, Jack Shannon had further suggested to Bethel, if she allowed her own son, David, a bit of freedom. The boy was set to go to America, wasn't he, and carve a new life for himself? Why didn't Bethel help him? She could. Naturally, Rector Shannon had known very well that Bethel owned the North house, controlled the mon-ey, and even collected Jagger's small pension from the Crown, earned by serving with the British army In its war against American independence. He mentioned these facts with delicacy, but he men-tioned them. "Jaggers got himself a knee wound in that trouble," Bethel had said de-fensively, "and yet he fills David with his tales. Why didn't he go and stay in that wild land, I want to know?" "He was loyal enough to come back over a lot of ocean water to you, Bethel. And he'd like to see his boy follow his dream. Had you thought about that?" "I've thought Jaggers gets a prop-er heathen look to his very eyes, when America is named to him. I've thought how fine it would be for people to mind their own affairs, even parsons I" Lark remembered that, because Jack Shannon had told her, laughing deeply. . . She remembered the day David had left for America, too It had been back in 1811, his twenty-firs- t birthday, and she had covered his cheek with thirteen-year-ol- d kisses, this old friend, David North, man, hero, world adventurer, this man Lark loved with all the fierce sensitive adoration of thirteen. He had gone, with Jack Shannon's mon-t-in his pocket, Bethel's dismal cautionings, and Lark's clear wor-ship, her tears on his cheek. He would come back. She knew that. She didn't tell them, then, because they would have laughed. But she knew it, knew it when he wrote her an occasional letter, was lure of it when he sent her the gift, the red silk handkerchief, which he said was called a Red Raskall. Red, the color of love, the symbol of a warm heart. . . . She had worn the Red Raskall tied about her curls. She had been six-teen then, almost grown up. . . . She could see it now, hanging on a nail in the stable, there. . . She had heard less often from David, lately. She was grown up. . She knew, now, that he hadn't "I love David. He said he would come to me." can't call me that. I love David. I'll go to him. I'D ship my horse, Madoc, to America to be a dowry to David. My father would have been happy to see me set my feet in the new land with David for a husband, and Madoc to start a sta-ble. Madoc has good blood. He's worth a lot of money. David will be proud to have Madoc. He will be very glad to have me come to him." "The livery-stabl- e keeper made a good offer for Madoc." Bethel was ignoring Lark, speaking directly to Jaggers. "I shall sell the horse to-morrow. You call to mind, Hus-band, the note I hold of Rector Shan-non's? The sale of the horse will clear that note." Lark had appealed wildly to Jag-gers, whose deep-se- t eyes seemed to - tj I i--i 1 u; ehaffuv urnv hrOWS. munsirated, glancing and iway "Yet taxes is " Orient, Bethel.

My fa-ther has thorough-bloo- d papers on Madoc in the back of his Bible!" Lark had cleared the table and crept up to bed, but nothing fur-ther had been said. Lying in her bed in the silent house, she had tried to feel the nearness of her own old home next door, but this accus-tomed comfort was gone. It was as if her father's familiar ghost had faded now with the selling of his property, his comfortable old chair, his little house, his fine Hooded horse. Frantically, Lark had tried to call him back. Jack Shannon had loved this sim-ple place Never an ambitious man. he had been happy here where the isolated, where farms were poor and church often held no the little stone dozen people in the more than a congregation. He had delighted n had loved to far-of- f parish calls, ride across the country to carry comfort to some old granny, or to baptize a sickly baby.

Always he had been known as the "Riding Parson" Even in Larks life, when former and more spacious Lark remem- - her mother was alive. really meant to send for her, that his parting words had been fanci-ful. Jaggers came in quickly, through the wide-flun- g stable door. He nod-ded to Lark and sat down on a bale of hay, a slight, rugged little man nearing sixty, a tired, mild little man with shaggy brows and a high forehead and kind unhopeful eyes. He pulled a straw from a bale and ran it between his teeth, look-ing once at Lark, and then away, out the door, at the pigeons waddling and slipping on the muddy cobbles. "Sure been rainin'," he said. "Devil beatin' his wife, was the old sayin' when it sunned and rained to-gether." "Wasn't that the stage stopping a minute ago?" Lark asked. "I won-der how it happened to stop here?" "It do stop now and then." He took a thick slice of bread from hii pocket and held it out to Lark. "You missed your breakfast. Here's a bit of bread. Eat it, do." Lark thanked him and accepted it She said, "Are you going to take Madoc to the livery-stabl- e to-- dav?" , I don't know." Jaggers keen, kind little terrier eyes were fixed on Lark "Would you Lark, would you want it the way you said it last night at supper' I mean if it was to come about that David send for you in the new land, would you be to so honest, now?" (TO RE CONTINUED) Fertilising Wheal The first 200 pounds of fertilizer used on wheat will produce an extra 6 or more bushels per acre. The next 200 pounds will produce about one-ha- lf the increase the first 200 pounds made, so $tl to $8 per acre for fertilizer may easily double the money in increased value in wheat.

Test Astigmatism A simple test for astigmatism is to cover one eye and look at an ob-ject. Then hold a card with a pin-hole in it before the eye and view the object through the hole. If vision .seems improved, astigmatism in the eye may be suspected, according to the Hotter Vision institute. Fish Odor on Towel To remove the odor of tlsh from tea towels and dish cloths boil them for five minutes in water containing one teaspoon baking soda to each quart. Rinse in warm and then in cold water. Soda water will also re-move fish odor from the hands. Dampen Ashes Dampen, but don't soak ashes in your ash pit each night so they can be removed in the morning minus dirt. Use a short length of hose for handy spraying. If coal isn't dustproofed, sprinkle it weekly. Empress" Mark on Coins A coin used in China today car-ries a thumbnail impression acci-dentally made in the wax model of its design by an empress in the Seventh century. When opening a can of paint, jab two holes on either side of the can near the top. Stretch a wire through the holes and it caii then be used to remove excess paint from the brush without causing the paint to harden on the sides of the can. Used crankcase oil may be used to paint fences and gates. Paint only during dry weather. Dusting with talcum or corn-starch will help keep rubber gloves from sticking together on the inside. The powder is dusted both on the inside and on the out-side. This should be done to any rubber material that lies folded. Squeeze a little lemon juice through the meat grinder before grinding dates, figs, prunes or rais-ins and they will leave the chop-per more readily. By cooking in dishes that you can bring right to the table, food will stay hot longer and you will save yourself dishwashing. A soap shaker may be made by fastening together two worn pre-war tea strainers of same size. This homemade gadget makes it possible to whip up an excellent suds in the dishpan in a short time, thus utilizing all soap scraps as they accumulate. To avoid fatigue while you are ironing or doing any work where you remain long in one spot, stand on a heavy rug or rubber mat. Eggs which are very cold sepa-rate more easily. Break them as soon as they come out of the ice box if the yolks and whites are to be used separately. When making pancakes, here is a useful tip: Rub a little salt over the frying-pa- n when it is hot. The batter will not stick then. Cliinese Women Produce Salt From Water on Roofs Curious saucer-lik- e roofs on ter-races bordering streams in China are part of the nation's salt indus-try. Salt water is carried from wells to the roofs and allowed to evaporate. Then the salt is swept up for home use or sale. Women do most of the work in this un-usual industry since the men are fighting the Japs. Sad Disappointment Mrs. Clum And is it a secret? Mrs. Redrier Oh, no, not at all.
