CHAPTER IX The breakfast table the small terrace at was spread on the side of the house, where Bryn and Deborah had eaten their first breakfast together, There were six places laid, but Sally was still upstairs, sleeping, as Simon sk will iknown doctor explained, like a dormouse; and Bryn had not yet returned from his early errand to the farm down the road, Deborah, In freshly starched blue glng ham, sat erect on her chair behind the silver coffee pot, and poured out a third cup for Tubby. Beside her. Made, sat quiet, gazing dreamily out trunks of the tall pines, from time to time, small crumbs of toast to a greedy chipmunk who sat up and begged for them with bright expectant eyes.

As she spoke, Bryn pushed open the dining room door and came out to the terrace. He put a hand on Simons shoulder, tweaked Tubbys hair, let his eyes rest on Deborahs lowered eyelashes, and spoke to Madeline. Who, me? eally Copyright by Frances Shelley Wees . WNU Service d d a No, Graham. Hell come, Bryn said cheerfully, and pulled up his chair. And theres one sure thing, he wont get past Joe. I left Joe on a box high up on the seat of a wagon box, where he can see the road coming up the mountain for about two miles. Hes got the wagon pulled under a shady tree, and hes got an old pair of and the horn. When I left I heard him making arrangements with his mother to bring out his meals. Id like to see as much as a caterpillar get past him. And, I've locked the gates, so were all set. Deborah handed him his cup, and as she did so, she lifted her eyes and met his upon her. She felt herself flushing, and the cup trembled in her hand so that some of the coffee spilled over. But Bryn did not seem to mind. He took it and put it down, and his aye were still upon hers! Deborah turned resolutely away. Bryn finished his breakfast, and he and Tubby and Simon left the table. They were going, Tubby informed the two girls, to Inspect the dungeons and see that the chains were In good ors, der. When they were gone, Madeline put out her hand and patted Deborahs Nghtly. "Deborah, she said after a moment, would you do something for me? Of course. Its about Tubby. I dont know what to think. With She looked up. any other man in the world, I'd Just exercise my feminine charm and Wait. But that Isnt safe with Tubby. Tubby isnt exactly shy, but he doesnt have any idea that hes so attractive that anybody might want to marry him. Its one thing I like about him, ds absolute lack of conceit. Deborah considered. Tubby wouldnt marry Just anybody, she said- com- ... fortingly. I don't mean Just anybody. But I an think nf half a dozen girls in out "Wn itii.mI who rmiM make quite n v n. in li m Ileum an. i! iliov .set alioiu doing it. And, of course, theres one In particular. Pilar?" Pilar." Whats she like?" Deborah asked I never knew any girls curiously. but you and Sally, and I understand yon two pretty well. Isnt she like us, this Pilar? Not In a hundred years, innocence. Not in a thonsand years. She's one of these stamping beauties, If you know what I mean. Pilar isn't much more Spanish than I am, although she has a Spanish name and a Spanish look, which she takes very good care to intensify. Pilar has huge flashing black eyes, and smooth black hair . . . she slicks it back and pins a red rose in it, you know . . . and she makes her mouth very red and doesnt use rouge on her cheeks. And shes tall, and graceful and buys wonderful clothes, the kind other people cant get by with. Is she very beautiful, Madeline? Very. Almost as beantifnl as you, honey, only quite, quite different. Have she and Tubby known each other long? Years and years." Then . . . surely you neednt worry, Madeline.

No, she said Something new has just occurred in Pilar's life. She wouldnt have married him until now. A cold finger touched Deborahs heart; but the touch was so light that it was gone In an Instant, and she had forgotten It. What can I do, Madeline? Madeline brought her gaze back from the distant eastern horizon. Tubby likes me," she said. I know he likes me. We get along beautifully together. If I were sure he didnt love Pilar Id just simply set about making him love me." But could I find out about Pilar? Is that what you want me to do? I thought you might ask Bryn. Bryn knows. Bryn knows everything about Tubby, just as Tubby knows everything about Bryn. And then you could tell me. Deborah was silent, her eyes on the cloth. Madeline was supposing that she and Bryn had long hours together, long hours alone, as Simon and Sally did, hours when nobody else heard what they said to each other. . . . Do you really love She looked up. him, Madeline? she asked softly. Madeline smiled, a slow smile. Her eyes were tender. Yes, honey. Really. Well, then, Deborah said with a sigh,, IH see what I can do, Madeline. It was only an hour or two later when she saw her clianpe. Tubby was sitting alone on a stump down by the brook, whittling industriously at a willow stick, trying to make himself a whistle, Deborah went down the path and perched herself on a mossy log in front of him. Do you like It np here, Tubby? I think Its great I'm crazy about it. Dont you miss all the excitement In the city, and all the rest of your friends? Not a twinge of missing do I get." All the things you do sound very finally. exciting. 1 mean, all of you, of course. Madeline and Sally have been telling me a little, about places, and people. Yesterday they told me about Pilar. I think she sounds fascinating." Pilar? he said Tubby looked up. incredulously. She sounds marvelous. So tall and beautiful. Even her name Is lovely, Isnt It? Pilar. Do you mean to say those women told you about Pilar? Yes. Why not? I was awfully interested." Well, he said with a heavy sigh, women are the funniest things In captivity. I should think that would have been the last name they would have mentioned. And, If somehow you had heard about Pilar, I shouldve thought shed be the last person youd be happy about. I never would have dared open my mouth about her, but then, who am I? Just a mere man. I dont see why you feel that way, Deborah said, but her smile began now to feel a little stiff and queer. There Isnt any reason why I shouldnt want to hear about Pilar, Is there, or wouldnt like her? Tubby was silent for a moment Then, I suppose not," he said slowly. After Not under the circumstances. all, everything went spang right by the board for you, didnt it? And you know it So why should you worry about Pilar or anybody else? Deborah tore a little piece of green velvet moss off the log, and spread it on the back of her hand. So Tubby didnt know, either. Tubby thought that Bryn had fallen In love with her in Mr. Ilolworthys office. Tubby didnt know everything about Bryn, after all. Suddenly Deborah thought she understood why Bryn had told all these people the same story, the story about falling In love with her. It was to t. He didnt save his own want any of them to know that he had just found a new and Interesting Oh, that wasnt way to earn money. fair. That wasnt like Bryn. And, ' last night From the sound of Pilar, she said at last, I couldn't blame anybody for thinking she was wonderful. I suppose she does sound all right, But shes no Tubby said dubiously. good, Deborah. Im warning you, in case she ever comes near you. But whats been handed to her Is hard to take, and it Isn't agreeing with her very well. Did you hear somebody calling? It sounded Deborah said suddenly. like Grandmother. Excuse me, Tubby, and she got up and ran swiftly up the path to the house. Grandmother was not calling. But Deborah knew she couldnt bear to stay with Tubby another second. Her heart felt as If it was breaking. She went up the stairs to her own room, and shut the door behind her. The girl he loved . . . she would be Pilar. Beautiful Pilar, with her black eyes and her black hair and her red mouth. They all thought Bryn had given her up, forgotten her, for Deborah. That was what they had to think. They couldnt possibly understand, when they didnt know the truth; when they didnt know why Bryn had married. (TO BE CONTINUED) self-respec- ... By C. H.

By storing such root crops as beets, turnips, parsnips and rutabagas in the field as soon as the weather becomes cold, many farmers are able to take advantage of a profitable market for these vegetables during winter. The storage operation is simple, location is necesbut a sary. Do not dig a trench, but place the vegetables on the surface of the ground in rectangular piles with 25, 50, 75 or 100 bushels in each. The proper size of the pile depends upon the number of bushels to be taken out for sale at one time. After the roots have been neatly arranged in the pile, cover them with from four to eight inches of straw, salt hay or double layer of h burlap. Then place a three- - to layer of soil over the roots to prevent the wind from uncovering them. As the weather becomes cold er, more protection will be needed to prevent the roots from freezing. Ventilation must also be provided in order to allow moisture given The off by the roots to escape. ventilator may be a roll of straw or hay placed on top of the mound, and some growers use a short stove pipe or a tile in both ends of the mound. Cabbage, too, may be successfully stored in the field. Pull the plants up by the roots and place them on the ground upside down so that the roots extend upward. From three to ten rows of cabbages may be placed in one trench. In the three-rosystem, two heads are placed alongside each other with the heads of the third row between and above the other two rows. When storing six rows in one trench, place the cabbages in three rows together on the ground, two rows on top of these and a third row on top of the second layer, forming a pyramid. Then cover the cabbage with burlap or a thin layer of salt hay or straw and add soil as for storing root crops. five-inc- w Last Drawn Milk Richer, Is Why Stripping Pays the n milk or the from a cow?

Upon request of Its old keeper the townspeople have sent a petition to the authorities to have the mechanism repaired. The clock tower and Its keeper are historic institutions of the town. The age of the tower Is not known, but when the Turks occupied the place In 1455 the tower was already there. It is about 3G0 feet high and the base is only 10 by 6 feet wide. Other buildings were demolished by time or the Turks, but the clock tower was touched by neither. In the basement of the tower are remnants of plumbing for a Turkish bath. Forty years ago, the keeper said, the Turkish mayor of the town had the tower smeared with 1,200 eggs to preserve the walls from the attacks of weather.
