Experiments with lawn pennywort In areas of turf that were heavily infested with the weed, resulted in acid of heavy destruction by stands of turf pest without accompanying injury to the established grass.

"You didn't happen to tuck that money I lost in your bag, top, did you?" Lark asked sternly. "The money in my money belt, remem- ber?" "I remember your takin' on about some money. Mighty high an mighty you acted on the old Temp." Minnie's teasing grin irritated Lark. "I hadn't known any thieves before," Lark said coldly. "You and Dan- -" " 'Nothing but good about the dead.

But I tell you, I thought about it since. Many's the night I've woke wide up, seein' you, right in the room by me, holdin' out your hands for your things. You was sent my way for me to make it up to you. I can see that clear. Like I said, 'Be sure your sin' " Gait, bathed, dressed in clean linen, joined Minnie and Lark at the cheery window table. Taffy loaded it with ham, sweet potatoes soaked in whisky and glazed to a candy, corn pones, perk tips in eggs and vinegar sauce. Tnere was a big platter of river croppie fried to a brown crisp. There were chunks of muscavado sugar, rice cakes, grits bread, pickles, strong black coffee. Minnie talked steadily as they ate. How she'd thought Lark drowned and no mistake. How she'd soon be going to join the Fair circuit as the fattest woman on earth, a duty she performed every fall of the year and made good money on it. How she missed Dan who'd been like a husband to her, and better in many ways. What a neat piece of property she owned here, and how the gentry always spoke to her nicely, seeing she kept the best and most hone in several counties. est "Good money!"

"He's a rich man." That was better'n six weeks ago, he offered the reward," Minnie said. Remember that. Lots of things can happen in less time than that. I was never one to take much stock in gossip, but there's a tale" She broke off suddenly and leaned forward, listening. Lark said, "Minnie, a while ago you started to say something about Squire Terraine and the reward money, didn't you?" "I don't remember. Did I?" Minnie yawned. "He's cuttin' a figure tonight, I bet, up there at Great-way- s likkerin' up half the county. . ; . Taffy's finished clearin'. No use our settin' here all night. Want to set in the parlor?" For an hour Minnie entertained them with stories of the Fair. She showed them her collection of mot-t&es and birds' eggs. finally Lark said, "If we're going to take Red Raskall to Greatways, we'd better go, hadn't we? The wedding must be over." "Where you goin' to sleep at?" Minnie wanted to know. "I took for granted you was stayin' with me. Where you puttin up?" "Here," Gait said firmly. "Right here. You were good enough to take us in, and Lark's worn ot. There's time enough in the morning to take the horse to Greatways." "That's the first good sense I heard in a hour' Again Minnie's yawn disturbed her chins. "I got to eat me a half pie to keep up my weight. Then I'm for bed. Anybody want to join me, they better speak up." Laughing hugely, Minnie shooed Gait off to his end room. Then she brought sheets and a blanket and bed for arranged the guest-rooLark, fussing over her hair, buttons ing a starchy snugly on her, tucking her in, and kissing her moistly, noisily, before ambling away to her own bed. Lark slept late next morning. The closed shutters kept the room quiet and darit. It was comfort past belief to burrow deep in the feather tick, to feel the slick soft surface of linen sheets, to smell the lavender scent of the fluffy blanket. It was the warm rich smell of frying bacon that wakened her. While d she was dressing, Minnie ponderously in, roared a hearty "good morning" when she saw Lark awake, and pushed the shutters open to a flood of violent sunshine. "Guess who turned up?" Minnie grinned at her. Lark's heart began to quicken, and Minnie shook her head. "Naw, not David North."' "I didn't say David." "Well you looked David! That little brown Cupsie from your sweet Mara Hastings'. Rid here with the mail man. Used to work here, onct. Right good help. Seems she took a mad on, at the way Miss Hastings done you, an wants to stay here." Cupsie stuck her head in the door, smiling broadly at Lark. "You got a bill o' goods." Minnie said.
