Sin if stopped her. ."In one way, not at all. In another I find I care a surprising lot," she said succinctly. succinct-ly. "This .Is why I wanted to speak to you, Madame. There's Just a chance that even yet she has no Idea who Madame Saltou is and has come to consult her In good faith. But If Laura has come snooping and that Is what I suspect I mean to punish her for It Why didn't she ask me what I was doing, straight out, man to man?" -"And what do you want of me, Miss Lovely?" Madame Georgette asked. "I'm ready to help you. you know that." "I want you to lend me Mademoi selle Ivonne for a few minutes. I propose to make sure of Mrs. Ham-mersley's Ham-mersley's fee before she sees me." Smif showed her white teeth In a highly malicious grin and Madame Georgette ejaculated "God save us !" adding: "You wouldn't be takin money off your own sister, Miss Lovely?" "If she has come here to spy on me, I would," Smif declared. "She deserves to be punished. Moreover, In any case, to make her appreciate appreci-ate that this is 'a serious business she must be made to pay serious money for a sight of me. And, of course, she won't pay a penny If she knows who .Madame Saitou is. So I'll find out: that much before I see' her." ; V "You certainly are a wise one I" Madame Georgette's admiration was unaffected. "But I'd better send you Jalna. She's new since Mrs. Hammersley bought anythng off me, so there'll be no risk that she'll recognize her." A few minutes later Laura's solitude soli-tude was broken In upon by the silent si-lent entrance of a sedate black-robed black-robed figure, notebook In hand. "Good morning, Madame," the girl said. "The name Is Mrs. James Hammersley?" Her air. was businesslike. busi-nesslike. "Yes," Laura confirmed this ungraciously. un-graciously. Since she had foolishly given her name, she saw no help for It , , : The girl made an entry on a blank page. "And the address?" ' That too was surrendered reluctantly re-luctantly because it was useless to attempt to hide It "This Is a first consultation, I believe?" "Yes." (Another entry.) "The fee Is one hundred dollars In advance," the self-possessed young woman looked at her expectantly. ex-pectantly. "I never carry such an amount of money with met" Laura exclaimed. "Naturally not" Jalna returned, "your check will be entirely satisfactory, satis-factory, Mrs. Hammersley. I can supply you with a blank check " One hundred dollars for nothing I The thought was preposterous. Laura hesitated. Should she refuse to pay It and go away? Seeming to read her thoughts, the girl closed her little book. "If you prefer to postpone the matter," she Bald cheerfully; too cheerfully, Laura thought Plainly that was the Idea. This was one of Smif s gigantic bluffs. She counted .on Laura's refusal and would chortle with Joy at ridding herself of her. "I was Just wondering If I had one of my own checks with me," Laura said deliberately. "You can lend me a pen, I suppose? I prefer pre-fer a stub." "Saitou. Incorporated," she was prompted, as she filled out the check and handed It to the waiting girl. "And now I tibpe 1 will not be delayed long," she suggested. "I am not accustomed to waiting." Jalna was pleased with her new role. People with the inflections Mrs. Hammersley employed always rubbed her the wrong way. "No longer than Is necessary, Madame," she said. assure you It Is a concession on Madame Sal-tou's Sal-tou's part to receive you at all without with-out an appointment" She bowed herself out and again Laura was left to her. own devices. Time Passed slowly until Buttons at last appeared once more. "Madame Saitou will see you now If you will come this war" he said, and led her past the angles of the corridor Into the lounge at the rear. . - The room was modernistic, the alls sharply patterned In black, red and gold ; the floor black, highly Polished ; the hangings of the little stage red velvet a tone softer yet s vivid as geranium. The boy went out the way he had come and again Laura waited. Then the curtains parted silently and Madame Saitou dvanced. COfTBlftHT TH8 BOBBt-MEPRlLl COMPANY - For Just one Instant Laura was in doubt Costumed In the color of her surroundings there was something some-thing oriental, mysterious and majestic ma-jestic about her youngest sister which she had never sensed before. "SralfJ" she cried; but Smif shook her head. "Madame Saitou," she corrected. "You wished to consult me?" , "Dn't be silly," Laura rejoined pettishly. "What in the world would I want to consult you about? I only wanted to see" you." "You need not have come here to do that," Smif pointed out Laura's rejoinder was tart "I had to come to find out if yon really were making such a show of yourself." w Suppressing a smile, Smif shook her head slowly. "I am not making a show of myself," my-self," she said. "I am making money. mon-ey. And that Is what I set out to do. I have a use for money." "Most people have." Laura brushed this aside. "You're only quibbling, Smif. You must know this can't go on. We can't have our sister practicing prac-ticing as a sort of charlatan. Imposing Im-posing on the gullible" "I am not a charlatan," Smif returned re-turned without heat "For the first time in my life I am a useful member mem-ber of society. I am ashamed when I think of the years I wasted on Cintra." "You're talking , like an awful prig." Laura was eager to make the argument commonplace and to drive home her contentions. "The truth is, what you want Is money, as you owned at first; and not for charity char-ity or any high falutln object but Just for self-indulgence. You want to buy back Lovelylea. All right, say you could buy it back, what would you do with it?" "I can make It self-supporting, which Is what Bill-Lee ought to have done" ' Laura swept on, not, however, ignoring the interruption: "And that would only be postponing post-poning the evil day. It is bound to go out of the family. I ask you, what do you think would become of the plantation after you died? You'll never have any children, and if you left it to any of us, we'd be only too anxious to sell It and get It oft our hands. Oh, Smif, don't be an Idiot 1 Be satisfied with something suitable. I'll get Jim to buy you a dear little place in the country. In Virginia, if that's what you want; and. If you really need it we'll manage an allowance" Laura meant to be kind and one or two of her arguments had struck home. Smif had long been sure she would never marry and asked herself her-self why the bald brutality of the statement that she would never have any children had given her such a pang? But it was the suggestion sug-gestion that she should live out her life dependent on Jim Ham-mersley's Ham-mersley's bounty that roused her to rebellion. "You're very generous for Jim, Laura," she said angrily. "Please forget that plan, as I shall. I am entirely able to support myself. I'm sorry If you don't approve of my business. I find It both remunera tive and enjoyable, and I propose to continue It It is useless to argue further." Seeing at last that her first ef forts had been wrongly directed, Laura tried entreaties. In time even working herself up to the point of tears. "We love you. Smif," she averred "How can we bear to have you run such risks? Open to visits from the most awful people In a public building like this. Why, I met the most terrible creature, a gunman I'm sure, coming out of the elevator eleva-tor with a huge emerald horseshoe In his necktie, , - Smif burst out laughing. "To think what I missed 1" she cried. "Unfortunately your gunman gun-man was not one of my clients. Laura. . . . You may as well break it to the others that there's nothing noth-ing to be done with Smif. As usual, she's as obstinate as a mule. Keep them from bothering me and 111 bless you forever. And now run along like a good girl. My time's worth money." As Smif retraced her steps to the middle of the lounge, thoughtfully thought-fully tapping her lips with Laura's folded check. Buttons entered from the passage. THE STORY FROM 1 W her .fee. C - lW ("Smif" br i':- far th. fatura. bowwer. ah. BiO-Let, but b. U u, to Ch .

CHAPTER IV SMIF'S only advertisement had been the cards which fhirina had mailed to a list he had mys teriously procured. Much to her disappointment and contrary to her expectations the business that had come to her so far had proven com monplace. "Not an adventure ia the whole batch!" she had sighed to herself regretfully, and indeed so It had proved until the advent of the man with the emerald horseshoe. An emerald horseshoe did not suggest a friend of Charles, In fact Smif was sure his reaction to such an adornment would have been quite as violent as her sister's. How then had the man heard of her? Not that it mattered. The opportunity to Interview a possible gunman was unique. It was, however, a fixed policy with her to make those without appointments ap-pointments await her pleasure. "Show the gentleman Into the sec ond .waiting room," she said. "Then go round the corner to the sandwich shop. I'll have olive and cream-cheese sandwiches today. Toasted, don't forget You've still got money?". Yes'in, said Buttons, and van ished on his errand. This order for sandwiches was usual. Smif took her lunch there daily to- avoid dressing for the street. To wait Tor Buttons' coming, Bhe seated herself In a comfortable chair in the lounge and lighted a cigarette. It had a well-nigh hyp notic effect in calming her nerves, and before an engagement with a client she always tried to empty 1 In an Instant She Was on Her Feet. her mind of speculations and personal per-sonal anxieties as well as of her previous cases. But she was accustomed ac-customed to docile clients who stayed where they were put. Consequently she was unable to control a start when a voice at her elbow, in anything but a tone of apology, said : "Excuse me, you're Madame Sai tou. aren't you?" The gunman, of course. And Buttons, her valiant protector, was absent "Yes," she replied, turning and facing fac-ing him icily, her eyebrows raised, her whole air a resentment of intrusion. intru-sion. "I am Madame Saitou.

Instead he came swiftly Into the lounge and seated himself on a chair facing her, hanging his hat and coat on its back. "I only wanted to tell you I didn't want to see you at all," he remonstrated remon-strated mildly. In spite of herself Smif chuckled. It had struck her that this was a very gentle gunman. And there was something charming In Smlfs chuckles. "That's too bad," she said, still twinkling, "because you are seeing me. aren't you? What do you sup pose can be done about It? "Nothing." Her visitor looked at her without cracking a smile. His face, melancholy in its lean brown-ness, brown-ness, was lit by gray eves under straight black brows. Eyes that were looking at her with a fixity that threatened to degenerate into a stare. It was not a face that fitted the emeralds. It occurred to her that it was not a modern face. Its like had looked out nrn her from canvasses by Moroni. "I'm not so sure now that I don't want to see you." he remarked with an effect of casualness, plunging his hands in his pockets, and continuing con-tinuing to study her under contracted contract-ed brows. "You're good. All this, you know" He withdrew a hand, waved it around the room vaguely and again plunged it back np to the wrist ' Then Smif recalled that Charles THE BEGINNING tra. which t k- " Matflda Smitk T'S'YZ: Sh. a- y bf SmiTa brotW, "kUduM Sta- aba h- StoiWfcN" .re,.-,.: - -iw. had warned her to be on her cuard against such an occasion. This man was a reporter, a subtle and insinuating insin-uating interviewer who had got wind of her unusual occupation, and she was not Inclined to be Interviewed. In-terviewed. In an Instant she was on her feet "The door Is Just behind you." she told him. He cast a deliberate glance toward It. "Well, It Isn't going to run off," he rejoined. "I fancy I can always make my getaway. And there are some things that I want to know that I'm going to ask you. I came here for that, then I lost my nerve. Now I've got it back again." "You certainly have," Smif agreed fervently, "all the nerve in the world." Despite his remark about a getaway, which she recognized as in character for a gunman, she had definitely abandoned that theory. This was a new genus to her but he was not a desperado. "Are you a reporter?" she Inquired, In-quired, now considering the alternative alterna-tive theory. "No," said the man. "Then why 6hould you wish to question me?" "Isn't It your Job to answer questions?" ques-tions?" "You mean' that you want to con suit me professionally? In that case go back to the waiting room and I'll send for you when I'm ready." "I I'd really like to oblige," the man hesitated, "but I don't see how I could, even If there was any sense in it I'd be taking a risk of losing my nerve again and running away. And I only actually need your ad-vice ad-vice on one point." Buttons appeared bearing a tray on which were a glass of water, an apple ap-ple and the sandwiches. Smif eyed the food-lovingly, as did the man. "Jove, I'm starving," he said, "can't he buy me some like those? I could eat one of yours while he's gone. Catch J" ne flipped a number "The Door Is Just Behind You." of coins In quick succession at Buttons, But-tons, who caught them cleverly and, with a grin on his freckled face, made off without waiting for orders. Feeling , that the situation had now gone quite beyond her control, Smif mutely held out the plate. Her self-Invited guest helped himself and took a large bite before speaking. "Swell sandwiches," he mumbled. "You live high, don't you?" , In her interest in this new specimen speci-men of humanity, Smif forgot her hunger and watched her visitor help-himself help-himself to another sandwich, the first having disappeared, as she declared de-clared afterward, "like a conjurer's rabbit." ' . "Do have a sandwich," he Invited her hospitably, seizing the fast emptying emp-tying plate from her hands and offering of-fering it to her. What did one do to put in his place an utter stranger who Invaded one's office and wolfed one's lunch? Smif acknowledged that she did not know and, accepting his Invitation to have one of her own sandwiches, munched companionate, regarding him appraisingly the while.

The hands of a man of taste, she decided, and then smiled broadly broad-ly as he continued to eat her sandwiches sand-wiches with relish. The word struck her as peculiarly appropriate to the circumstances. "lou can have that sandwich," ne volunteered, weakly giving way to the Instinct Innate In every woman wom-an from the time Eve shared her only apple with Adam, to feed the male of the species. "Buttons will be here soon with more." "Sure yon" don't want it !" he Inquired In-quired as nursery manners dictated, and took It eagerly, while she went on with her mental appraisement ' Unexpectedly his voire broke in on her thoughts. "Well, what's your decision? I hope to the lord I don't look such a fool as I am," He was not unobservant then.

Buttons, arriving with unusual expedition, relieved her of the necessity ne-cessity of replying. TO EE COXTlXfED.) FEED PULLETS TO GET THEM TO LAY Grain, Vegetables, Gravel, Water Necessary. For maintaining egg production during fall and winter months when egg prices are highest the following follow-ing practices are recommended to farmers and poultrymen by O. C Ufford, extension poultryman for the Colorado Agricultural college. Pullets probably will require about 10 to 12 pounds of grain per day for each 100 hens of the heavy breeds, and about 8 to 10 pounds dally for the same number of hens of the lighter breeds such as Leghorns Leg-horns at the beginning of production. produc-tion. These amounts may gradually gradual-ly be Increased as the weather turns colder. Feed onerthird of the grain in the morning and two-thirds for the evening feed in a straw litter at least an hour before dusk. A good laying mash should b kept before the hens all the time in non-wasting hoppers. If one feeds a wet mash, make it quite crumbly and give only amounts the hens will clean np In about a half hour of feeding. Feed the mash about the middle of the day. Be regular In daily feeding and care of the flock. Green feed Is an important part of the ration. Some of the sources of green feed are alfalfa, carrots, beets, cabbage and lawn clippings that may have been saved and dried during summer months. Beets and sometimes cabbage are low in vitamin value. Alfalfa is best If It Is available. Water Is a most important part of the ration. Water composes two-thirds of the egg and the same proportion of the chicken's body. Therefore plenty of water always should be available to chickens, Keep a bed of fine gravel in the laying house for grit In winter time. Lime Is furnished In the form of oyster shell or calclte. A simple, although quite Batls factory winter ration commonly used for laying hens Includes the following grain mixture: Cracked or whole corn, CO pounds; wheat 40 pounds. The mash mixture con slsts of 20 pounds each of fine corn meal, bran, shorts, ground oats or barley, and meat meal. Ground wheat may be substituted for the bran and shorts. Add one pound of salt to every 100 pounds of feed. Vaccination Advisable to Stave Off Fowl Pos Fowl pox of chickens is a disease dis-ease that affects the poultryman's pocketbook, for Infected birds lay few eggs, and If the chicken's mouth and eyes are Infected, the bird rnay die, according to Dr. C. a Ellis of the New York state college col-lege of veterinary medicine. When pullets recover from fowl pox, as many do, they are Immune from further attack. Doctor Ellis says vaccination is desirable where flocks had fowl pox last year; vaccination Is probably not desirable If the flock has never suffered an attack of fowl pox ; but to be certain to avoid the disease this fall and winter, he suggests vaccination as a preventive measure. meas-ure. It is advisable to vaccinate while the birds are still on range. Flocks that are affected with eoc-cldlosis, eoc-cldlosis, worms, or any other diseased dis-eased condition will likely suffer some losses. The vaccine Is applied by first removing several feathers from the front part of one leg and then applying ap-plying the vaccine with a small brush. - Effect of Lice While lice probably rarely cause the death of mature birds, they are often directly responsible for great mortality among growing chicks, which do not have the vigor to resist re-sist them possessed by the adult birds. The effect on the bird varies of conrse in proportion to the degree of Infestation, buf a bird that Is lonsy will generally show increased nervousness, a loss of vitality, lack of appetite and a droopy, forlorn appearance, which results In decreased egg and meat production. POULTRY FACTS Rigid culling throughout the growing season cuts the tost of raising chicks and lowers the mortality mor-tality among them. a a Chopped alfalfa hay and skimmed milk are potent sources of Vitamin O and their inclusion In a ration for laying hens Is recommended, a a Only 4.5 dozen eggs were required re-quired to buy 100 ponnds of pool-try pool-try feed in New York state In 1932, compared with 4.9 dozen in 1931, and 5.7 dozen before the war. a a a For leg weakness a tablespoonful of cod liver oil well mixed In mash for 30 chicks will work wonders and a teaspoonfu' given to a leg-weak leg-weak hen will often remedy matters. mat-ters.

By flying. 12,443,000 miles of a total of 13,100,000 miles scheduled during the past calendar year, United Air Lines completed vastly more sched uled mileage this year than any other transport company In the world, it is claimed, on the basis of an International Interna-tional check. The mileage completed was D5 per cent of the total mileage scheduled. Of the 12,415,000 miles flown, more than 9.000,000 were on the coast-to-cuast route, said to be the most traveled long-distance route In the world. The 1932 mileage is expected to be exceeded by a large margin this year. First Ladies Mutt Wait Henry G. Freeman, Jr., of Philadelphia, Phila-delphia, left a fund of $1,200 a year for the wife of the President The courts have ruled that this provision cannot be carried out until after the death of 18 persons now receiving annuities from the estate. The money is to provide "pin money" for the wife of the President while her husband is In office. Prairie Peer Mice Prairie deer mice, like other mice, are almost wholly nocturnal In habit Possibly they dislike the heat but by remaining hidden in the daytime, day-time, they also escape being eaten by gulls and hawks. The nests are made of dry stems and roots of rushes and grasses, lined with thistledown, which makes a wonderfully wonder-fully soft and warm nest for tender ten-der babies.
