"'I ask you very confidential-ly- ' whistled softly as he turned back Into the bathroom " 'Ain't she sweet?' " Miss Jenkins had gone straight from her reception of the new minister to the rescue of Ginger Ella, for she had rightly Interpreted both the sudden crash and the ensuing silence as Indicative of disaster In that direction. Unfortunately for that young person, the apple barrel had nails In It, nulls that stuck Inward. Ginger, bleeding on both arms, bruised on both knees, and altogether furious, was further annoyed by the fact that she was pinned Into the barrel by At every the Inturniug nails. slight motion to extricate herself there were ominous little sounds of tearing cloth spelling ruin for the summer frock. With Miss Jenkins' help, however, she managed at last, slowly, not without pain, to get herself out of the barrel with only a few minor rents and stains of blood upon the precious garment. Some two hours later, Hiram Buckworth, with his most Ingratl-ntinsmile, stepped out Into the rambler-shadeveranda, where his eyes fell upon a plensunt picture. Miss Jenkins sat In a low rocker, carefully mending n torn new summer frock, while Ginger, In a plain smock, sat on a stool shelling peas. And In the hammock, one slim foot crossed over the ortier both while arms over ber head, lay Marjory, so still and lovely that Hiram Buckworth caught his breath at sight of her. "I beg pardon," he said pleasantly, "may I come out? I don't have to stay In my room until supper, do I?" Marjory sat stiffly upright In the hammock. Ginger shook the dust of the garden from ber hands, and set the pan of pens on the floor at her side. Miss Jenkins flushed and fluttered anxiously. "Of course not," she stammered. "1 mean, by all means. Come right over. I was going to Introduce you to the girls, anyhow". Hiram Buckworth Joined the small group In the shadowy corner. "This Is Marjory. Marjory fluttered Miss Jenkins. "Not the oldest Helen Is the oldest, but she's married Marjory Is one of the twins. And this Is Ginger Kiln. Kllen. I mrnn. We Just rail her Ginger. She's the baby."

Had she washed dishes nil these years merely to save the fair hands of Marjory for the dishes of Hiram Buckworth pnd a minimum of three? The attic saw little of Ellen Toiiiver during these days. She met the postman, thanked him warmly for the letters he gave her, and flew to the attic. The dimes crashed Into the dolls' trunk, and Ginger returned to her veranda ister CHAPTER VI i irn Is no bower of rows fur tictiicr of scheme Ellen fnUKcr wns no the rtcsl to make Is to IlKht-- Buck-wort- reeon-nolte- Jen-klna- ! eral coffer every week, and obvl ously counting this not so much a hardship as a privilege. Miss Jenkins liked him, Mr. Toiiiver liked til in, the members of the church liked him. All the young daughters of all the Inllueutlal members developed a strange assiduity along lines of religious activity. On tlie surface, things seemed to progress with a sweet serenity which should have been highly satisfactory to everybody concerned. But Ginger Ella, casting about her with keen eyes that saw everything, and a keen mind that suspected even more, knew Intuitively that all was Dot well, not In the church, where were beard vague muruiurings. Indefinite suggestions, and were seen strange und significant looks; nor In the parsonage Itself, where Hiram Buckworth looked too often, and too long, upon the slender white hands of Marjory Toiiiver. This was a bad sign, one of the very worst Hiram was good looking. Marjory The hud always been man-masituation held all sorts of horrible possibilities. Ginger renewed her vigilance. HIrara Buckworth, good looking, brilliant young student, had deliberately chosen the ministry as Ills life work. She tossed him a scant respect for that choice, which, although It accorded blm a high mark for character, In no way entitled him to a permanent place on her plans for the family's future. Being a seminary man, with special study at Oxford, he would begin perhaps at a thousand dollars, or twelve hundred If he was lucky, and would progress upward, slowly, perhaps as far as two thouhundred, possibly sand, twenty-flv- e he was so very good looking. If he married, he would Instantly, acMethodist cording to parsonage statistics as figured by Ginger, become possessed of a minimum of three children. Small good would be one of his estate to the Impoverished and needy Tollivers. Encouraging him was a deliberate throwing away of their one resource. It was the willful choking of their oil well. It was the burning of their liberty bonds. Ginger reconnoltered carefully. She did more than She hounded. She was time-honore- d Hiram Buckworth Looked Hard at Marjory. simply disgusting. And she thinks the rest of us even Miss Jenkins are simply man-maGinger thinks a man who "paws' should be shot at sunrise. If not sooner." He smiled understanding. "And who, then, Is Eddy Jackson?" "Eddy Jackson," exclaimed Ginger, with one of her broad sweeping gestures, "Is father's best and dearest and most Intimate friend, a genuine character, and no base pretender." In the early evening, answering their meek request over the telephone, Eddy Jackson, busy with his experiments, sent one of (he college students In his car for them and they drove out to the farm. Eddy was still busy In Ihe laboratory, but Mr. Toiiiver walled on the porch for them, with Miriam, and this to Ginger's speechless Murdock. Without n word to any of them, she marched Into the laboratory, completely spoiling a delicate experiment. "Eddy Jackson, you double-crosse- nt j j j tbr S. that dicovery In actual rcrlcnn.

In a way considerable disappointment attended the accumulation of funds for the blind. Barely did she receive more than five contributions In a day, a stingy fifty cents. Lovely daughters cannot be sent to finishing schools, shabby parsonages cannot be done over, suffering eyes cannot be operated on by expensive surgeons, upon a paltry five dimes n day. Not that Ginger frowned upon her receipts, far from It. It was only that she had hoped so greatly. In the three week of Mr. Tolll-ver'- a Idleness In the country, he had acquired a thick coal of unaccustomed tan. and five full pounds In weight with such an Increase of strength, enthusiasm, and ambition, that he was Inclined to feel ashamed of his continued Idleness. Word from town that a special committee from the odlclal hoard wished to meet blm at the parsonage on Thursday evening for a discussion of Important church matters, gave him real pleasure. Eddy Jackson drove him In, with Miriam, and feeling, with his usual tact, that the family would like to be alone for a few hours of Intimate reunion, be pleaded Important business, and left them, promising to return for ihem at eleven o'clock. And after their modet aupixr, they sat, the three girls and their father. In Ihe pleasant old living room and waited for the coming of the commltlee.

I. Calvert, extension specialist In farm management University farm, St. I'aul, Minn. This Is an opportune time for such culling, he says, as prices of all live stock are high. Where feed Is scarce farmers will find It better to carry over only as much live stock as can be well handled, rather than to keep a larger number In a condition. Mr. Calvert suggests that fnrmers s who anticipate short feed should at once make careful calculations as to how much rough-ag- e will be required and check this Thnso against available supplies. who discover that they are short of feed are advised to locate supplies Id their home localities a early as possible and contract for their needs.
