She lived In one blocks of old brown-stonof those houses divided Into flats. Letting herself in with a latchkey she ascended the two flights at a rapid run. unlocked her door and entered upon the hot empty quietude of her own domain. She threw her hat on a chair, unci falling upon the til van opened the paper that she hud carried ulnce she left the Grand Central station. She folded the pages back at the personal column nnd settled over It, bent, motionless, her eyes traveling down Its length. Suddenly they stopped, focused on a paragraph. Sue took a pad and pencil from the. desk, drew a small table up to the divan, spread the newspaper on It, and copied (lie paragraph onto the pud. It ran as follows: "Sister Carrie: , "Kdmund stouey broke but Albert able to help him, Think we ought to chip In. Can a date be arranged for discussing his affairs?

People watched her, noting the lithe grace of her movements, her delicate ellnmess, the froth of blonde hair that curled out under the brim of her hat She appeared oblivious to the Interests she aroused and this Indifference had once been natural, for to be looked at and admired had been her iiorniul right and become a stale experience. Now It was assumed, an armor under which she sought protection, hid herself from morbid curiosity and eagerly observing eyes. To be pointed out as Sybil Saunders, the actress, was a very different- - thing from being pointed out as Sybil Saunders, the n fiancee of James Dullas of the case. . case had been The a seiAtion three months back. James Dallas, a well known actor, had killed Homer Parkinson during a quarrel In r men's club, and fled before the horrified onlookers could collect their senses. Dallas, a man of excellent character, hud had many friends who claimed mitigating - circumstances Parkinsou, drunk and brutal, had provoked the assault. But the Parkinson oil people, breathlug clan, new-ricvengeance, had risen to the cause of their kinsman, poured out money in an effort to bring the fugitive to justice, and offered a reward of teu thousand dollars for his arrest. Of course Sybil Saunders had figured In the Investigation, she was the betrothed of the murderer, their marriage had been at hand. She had gone through hours of questioning, relentless grilling, and had steadily maintained her Ignorance from the of Dallas' whereabouts; night of his disappearance she had heard nothing from him and knew nothing of him. The Parkinsons did not believe her statement, the police were uncertain. Her taxi rolled out Into the sweltering heat. Incandescent streets roarln under the blinding glare uf the sun. Her destination was the office 4 of Rtmud and Walberg, theatrical managers. Mr. Walberg offered her n friendly hand und a chair. Mr. Walberg, a kindly Hebrew, was kindlier than ever to this particular visitor.

But Jt was only Aune Tacy. come In to see if she was back from her visit ou the sound. It was a comfort to see Anne, she always acted as if things were Just as they had been and never asked disturbing questions. She was Sybil's best friend, was to have been her bridesmaid. But she knew no more of Sybil's secrets since Jim Dallas bad disappeared than anyone else. And she never sought to know that was why the friendship held. They had a great deal to talk about but chiefly the "Twelfth Night" affair Anne was Immensely pleased that Sybil had agreed to play. She did not say thisshe avoided any allusions to Sybil's recent conducting ot her life but her enthusiasm about It all was lrresistiblft It wanned the girl into interest; the Viola costume wa3 brought from its cupboard, the golden wig tried on. When Aune look her departure late in the day, she felt much relieved about her friend she was "coming buck," coming olive again. V Anne occupied another little flat 01 streets in ananother of the other of the browustone houses. Llert was one room larger, for her brother, Joe Tracy, lived with her when uol pursuing his profession on the road There were hiatuses in Joe's pursuit during which he inhabited a small bed 100m In the rear and caused Anne a great deal of worry and expense. Joe apparently did not worry, certainly uot about the expense. Absence of work wore on his temper not because Anne had to carry the flat aloue, hut because he had no spending money. They said it was his temper that stood tn his way. Something did, for he was an excellent actor with that power of transforming himself into au empty receptacle to he filled by the character he portrayed. But directors who bad had experience of him, talked about his "natural meanness" and shook their heads. People who tried to be sympathetic with Anne about All the him got little satisfaction. most persistent ever extracted was an admission that Joe was "difficult" Hugh Bassett had boosted and helped and lectured him. And not for love, of Joe, for in his heart Bassett thought him a pretty hopeless proposition. That evening, alone In her parlor, Aune was thinking about him. He huii no engagement and no expectation of one, and it was not wise to leave him alone In the flat without occupation. She went to the window and leuued out The air rose from the street, breathless and dead, the heated exhalation of walls and pavements baked all day by the merciless sun. To leave Joe to this while she was basking in the delights of Gull Island apart from anything lie might dolt wasn't fair. And then suddenly the expression of her face changed and blie drew In from the window Hugh Bassett was coming down the street The bell rang, she pushed the button and presently e was at the door saying he was passing and thought he'd drop In for a minute. He was a man with a quiet reposebig thick-se- t ful quality unshaken even by the'heat. He had dropped in a great deal this besummervand as the 'dropplngs-icame more frequent Anne's outside engagements became less. They always simulated a mutual surprise, giving them time to get over that .somewhat breathless moment of meeting. They achieved it rather better than usual tonight for their minds were full of the same subject. Bassett had come to Impart the good news about Sybil, and Anne had seen her and heard all about it. Finally when they had thrashed out all the matters of first importance Bassett said: "Did you tell her that Walberg wanted Aleck Stokes for the Duke?"' "No, I didn't say a word about it What was the use? It would only have upset her and you'd put a stop to It" sad-eye- Now He Had Grown Bolder, Telling Her Where He Was. words remained "Edmonton, Alberta, Cunada."

Similarly take ten kernels from No. 2 and place in section No. 2; continue until every section Is filled. Place the kernels away from the dividing lines so a slight displacement caused by handling the tester will not mix the samples. Fold each side of the tester so that the edges meet In the middle. Press the cloth down firmly over the kernels and roll the tester using some cylindrical object as a core. Working the Tester. Soak the tester for ten hours In warm water. Then drain off the water, leaving the tester in the pall with covsr where It Is warm a loose-fittin- g and moist A temperature between 89 and 80 degrees during the day and 50 to GO degrees during the plght will give good results. The tester should at all times be moist and have good ventilation. At the end of six days unroll the tester, taking care not to disarrange the sprouts.
